Bella

Walnut Creek, CA

  Breed: Mixed Pyrenees and Aussie

  Weight: 70 lbs

  Age: 1 year old

  Gender: Female

Hi there! I am a pet parent to the beautiful Bella. She is 14 months, very dog-friendly, and relatively mild-mannered, but still playful! She to loves play, sniff, chew her yak chews, and observe the world. She especially loves wrestling play, but is very social, so will adjust her play style to engage the other dog (usually chase or ball stealing). We are also working on getting her to ‘settle’ when there is a small, non-aggressive dog that really wants to play but is a little afraid of her size. I have an elderly mom who has had multiple strokes. I am mostly looking for regular play dates and consistent trades so I can fly to see her (about once every 3 months). For this reason, I am also mask conscious in crowded public spaces (e.g. indoor shopping). I work mostly from home, with occasional commutes to SF.

She passed in 2022

Walnut Creek, CA

  Breed: Cockapoo

  Weight: 15 lbs

  Age: 18 years old

  Gender: Female

We are a family of 4 with one child entering Kindergarten and the other 3rd grade in the fall of 2023. We had a dog for 15.5 years but she passed away in 2022. We are thinking of getting another dog in 2024 but until then would love to host and help out others by giving love to your pup while you are away. Our family misses having a dog deeply, but we need a little more time before we can go into puppy training mode again.

Mila

Walnut Creek, CA

  Breed: Dachshund

  Weight: 10 lbs

  Age: 1 year old

  Gender: Female

I’m Ashley, I’m 34 years old and have a miniature long haired dachshund named Mila. I work from home and can take breaks throughout the day for playtime or walks (if it’s not too hot). We have a fully fenced yard and ramps/little stairs to get up on the couch or bed). My dog Mila is very shy with new people and dogs, but after getting to know them and feeling comfortable with them she becomes playful and very sweet. I’m looking to be able to swap boarding with someone that can watch her while we go away on vacation or want a longer night out, preferably someone who also has a small dog that she could play with as this automatically makes her more comfortable and excited. Mila does have separation anxiety so she would need to stay with someone who works from home and wouldn’t leave her alone for too long. She also sleeps in our bed at nights, so someone who is comfortable with her sleeping in their bed is also ideal.

Hi there! I've had Callie since she was 4months old and started training right away. She knows basic commands and is used to walking in Downtown Walnut Creek. Scooters sometimes scare her if they are coming from behind. She can be anxious and timid dog but a few treats warms her up. She loves other dogs and hasn't had one bad experience with them. She sleeps and eats in her crate. I usually work from home 4 days a week. So she is in her crate when she wants to sleep and on the couch or on the patio otherwise. I live in an apartment with a back patio and a doggie common area. I live near downtown Walnut Creek so walks are loud and noisy but the apartment is quiet. Let me know if you have any other questions! --Dana

Louie

Walnut Creek, CA

  Breed: Labradoodle

  Weight: 45 lbs

  Age: 5 years old

  Gender: Male

Louie is a 45 pound labradoodle who loves food and loves to play! We prefer lower shedding dogs, but can handle shedding dogs if needed (I do have allergies). We live right next to a dog park with mostly friendly dogs so we go very frequently (2x a day most days). We do prefer medium-energy dogs though as we both work from home so we're home all day but there are periods where we're working or days which are harder to get full high energy dog energy out. Louie does have separation anxiety - if he's alone at home he can get anxious, but with another dog, he's usually fine home alone. He LOVES food so he'll get into food if it's available on the counters or on a table. He’ll even open bags and get into closed containers that are plastic or paper for food. He won't do it with a human there, but if it's just dogs or if you're in another room, he may attempt. We have a full instruction manual for the basics of Louie and what he knows.

Charlie

Walnut Creek, CA

  Breed: Miniature Poodle

  Weight: 20 lbs

  Age: 12 years old

  Gender: Male

Hi! I'm a huge animal lover - growing up I was surrounded by dogs, cats, hedgehogs, deer, chickens and goats. Now, I have my dog Charlie, while sometimes taking care of my boyfriend's bull terrier Attie, and also leasing a horse. Charlie is a well behaved, trained house dog, with unlimited energy. We go on 3-5 daily walks, roughly 6-9 miles, around Walnut Creek. Charlie likes structure so I try to walk around the same time each day. We also love hiking. Charlie has some dog reactivity since he's small and scared, but he just needs to be introduced slowly and he will get used to other dogs. He doesn't do well with overly excited puppies, rather dogs that will leave him alone. I'd like to get (eventually) certified as a dog trainer and I've been able to teach Charlie and other dogs some tricks using positive reinforcement. Would be happy to work on some simple training with the dogs we will be pet-sitting.

Daisy

Walnut Creek, CA

  Breed: Sheepadoodle

  Weight: 50 lbs

  Age: 3 years old

  Gender: Female

Hi, my name is Jenna and I live in Walnut Creek with my Sheeadoodle Agent Daisy Johnson aka “Daisy!” I am looking to find play dates and vacation swaps and Daisy is looking for playmates of all shapes and sizes. She is extremely friendly and playful and very energetic. We love to go to the dog park and get the zoomies out. Daisy is crate and potty trained and can stay home alone for 1-4 hours. I live in a small condo with my roommate and her Golden Retriever. This makes hosting challenging as it is generally too small of a space for 3 dogs. To swap we are looking for non-shedding dogs under 60lbs, who are crate trained. I have a small fenced yard so walks or dog park visits can be expected if we need to get energy out. If you are open to house sitting instead, Daisy and I would love to return a swap by coming to you and staying with your dog since our home is so small! Daisy is up to date on vaccines and attends Camp Bow Wow doggy day care.
