Dog Walking Arden Fair

“My dog loved his walk with Natasha and we would book with her again.”

About: I’m not your average sitter, I work as a rescue pilot, helping relocate dogs across California, and I’ve cared for a wide range of pups from high-energy escape artists to senior dogs needing medication and extra support. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. Whether your dog needs a structured walk, extra patience, or just someone attentive and reliable, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. As a flight instructor and commercial pilot, my schedule is pretty flexible, mostly depending on my students, the weather, and if any pups are needing rescue. Meet & greets $10 within 5 miles, $15 within 10 miles from me! I can crate and transport your dog if need be, otherwise will be caring for them in your home and surrounding area/neighborhood for walks! :)

“Ash has walked my Aussie three times now. Poppy always returns smiling and relaxed. Ash is quickly responsive to a request and pleasingly punctual. I recommend her for dog walking without reservation.”

“Carrie did a wonderful job walking our pup, Jo! Carrie was professional, prompt and kind. Jo came back from her walk happy and tired - she said hello to us and immediately took a nap. Would absolutely recommend Carrie and we’re so happy to have found an awesome dog walker close by!”

“Milagros is an excellent companion and walker for my dog Rex. Rex needs a walker who stays alert to his surroundings and is able to anticipate situations which might cause problems. Milagros handles all of Rex's anxieties and redirects when needed. Rex comes home happy and relaxed. Milagros walks Rex 5 days a week while I recover from a broken leg. She is on time, communicates well, and enjoys Rex. I trust her completely and am grateful to have found Milagros to help out for the next couple of months.”

“If I can, I want to give her 10 stars! She was super nice, reliable, and flexible. My dog, Macy loves her so much! I feel I’m very lucky that I found her!!”

“Friendly, on time, professional and my dog warmed up to her right away! It’s my first time using this service and I’m glad I found a good fit on the first try.”

“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”

About: I am super active (hiking, running, freediving, surfing) so I'll make sure to give your pup a good amount of exercise! I'm a Sacramento native and know all the fun places to go on a walk. I also love cats and can't get bored of playing with them! I have experience in caring for special needs and senior animals. I have tons of availability all summer long so please reach out! I am currently working part time and have a super flexible schedule! My busiest mornings are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but I'd be happy to fit you in! I am always open to collaborating on a schedule that works for everyone. I have two mellow cats and one very playful vizsla! If your pet prefers to play alone, I have dog gates and a backyard for them! Otherwise, I'd love to hang out with your cat/ dog or take them on walks! Feel free to reach out for additional services.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I adore all animals and really enjoy their company. Having two fur babies of my own I know the importance of having someone you trust take care of them. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. Pets are family and should be treated with love, compassion, and respect. I have taken care of animals of all ages. I can give medication if needed. I would love to spend time with your pets when you are not able to. I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I would have plenty of time to spoil your fur babies with walks and belly rubs. I can do doggy daycare and boarding almost any day and time as long as your dog is tolerant to other dogs and is up to date on vaccinations. Playtime, walks, snuggles, and whatever else your pups or cats needs are, I am more than happy to supply them with the love and attention they need while you are away.

About: Hello! I’ve had dogs all my life and love getting out and walking them. I’m a recent UC Davis Animal Science graduate starting at UPenn for Vet School this year. I’ve walked a huge range of breeds, sizes, and energy levels, everything from high-energy German Shorthaired Pointers, Huskies, Pitbulls, and Shepherds to Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, and Frenchies. With a year and a half of experience as a veterinary assistant, time as an SPCA volunteer, and extensive coursework working with animals, I'm especially attentive on walks. I know how to spot subtle body language, manage leash reactivity, keep dogs safe on busy sidewalks, and administer any oral medications if needed before or after a walk. Whether your dog needs a fast-paced exercise walk or a calm neighborhood stroll, they’ll be in safe, experienced hands! I am currently on summer break before moving to Philadelphia for Vet School on August 10th, and so I am free any day of the week at almost times are needed! I am free on Tuesdays, just not between 11-3! If you would like a walk on a blocked day please message me as I might be available at different times on that day. Safety is my top priority on every walk. My background as a veterinary assistant and shelter volunteer trained me to handle unpredictable behaviors, read stress cues, and keep dogs secure on the go. I follow your exact instructions for leash setups, harness adjustments, and route preferences. If your dog is prone to bolting or rushing doors, I use careful barrier techniques so they stay safely inside while I enter and exit. On the sidewalk, I stay focused on city traffic, managing space around other dogs, and avoiding street hazards. My clinical training also means I recognize early signs of heat fatigue or physical discomfort, and I can easily give any needed medications before or after our walk. You can count on a safe, attentive outing every time.

About: I’m a recent college grad with a flexible schedule and a long-established love for pets. I’ve taken care of many different pets throughout my life and have always had a family dog of my own in my house. I’ve had jobs taking care of animals in a wide variety of settings and with different needs, ages, and preferences. I’ve been trusted to take pets on walks, check in on them periodically and spend time playing with them, and distribute medicine and make sure older pets are doing okay. I’ve also attended training courses for my own dogs and retained command and care skills learned there. I get along with pets of all temperaments and always enjoy taking care of all of them! I have a very flexible schedule while studying for the LSAT at home so am available for walks and day and night care at any time. I have a good deal of experience taking care of pets in others’ homes and always treat both the pet and their environment with care and respect. I’m used to entering a new home and quickly learning the pet’s routine and how I can make them feel comfortable at all times.

“Hannah is wonderful!! My puppy Pepper is my little princess, & I feel so comfortable knowing that Hannah is watching her & taking her on walks. Pepper is very shy at first, and Hannah took the time to come over & meet her before walks started, which made a huge difference. Hannah is prompt with responses, sends super cute photos, and really cares about my little puppy. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you ?”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and truly treat every animal like family. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering oral medications, walks, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and providing plenty of love and attention. I also have pets of my own and understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for them while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule and can provide care before and after work, on weekends, and throughout the day on my remote workdays. I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and overnight care when my schedule allows. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives dependable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special care needs. I take the time to earn each cat’s trust at their own pace and provide a calm, low-stress environment. I’ll keep your home clean and secure and send regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’m a calm, reliable pet sitter with 20+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs. I’m a nursing student, former high school teacher, so I’m used to detailed, compassionate care and regular background checks. I don’t board animals in my home (I have five cats), but I come to you for walks, playtime, feeding, overnights, and light meds for easygoing pets. I know how stressful it is to leave your animals, so my goal is to be the trustworthy stand‑in so you can travel or be away knowing your pets are truly looked after with love. I’m currently focused only on nursing school, my schedule is flexible enough that I can usually match your pet's normal routine, so their days stay predictable, calm, and as undisturbed as possible while you’re away. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my focus is on safety, routine, and keeping their environment calm and familiar. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and house rules (furniture, crates, leashes, yard, etc.). I keep doors and gates secure at all times, double‑check collars and harnesses before walks, and never let dogs off‑leash. I am comfortable staying overnight, doing multiple check‑ins, or longer visits so pets get real company, play, and supervision rather than just a quick food drop. Because of my background healthcare and education, I am used to being observant, documenting changes, and taking responsibility seriously, so people can travel knowing their pets and home are being respectfully cared for.

“Stephanie was great with our two dogs and really easy and flexible to work with! Will definitely be using her whenever we need a little extra help :-)”

About: 🐾Hi!🐾 My names Nelly🤗, me and my family have been around animals especially dogs all of our lives. I can truly say my husband is the reason I became even more of a dog lover now. We love to have fun, go for walks/runs, play at parks, go to the lake, or just be outside in our backyard soaking up the sun. We have lots of love and snuggles to give any dog that suffers with anxiety or depression. We all know how frightening it can be to be somewhere new, so we will always do our best to make them feel right at home and part of the family. We can give lots of love to your elder dogs who need the extra TLC. We enjoy having one on one stays so your pup/pups (the more the merrier😂) have all of our attention during their stay here with us. BUT if there is any and I mean any intertwinement within stays, I will always let it be known before moving forward with the booking to ensure we are all on the same page. We have two rooms designated for pups to be separated if necessary. The safety of your pups is our top priority and I will always be transparent when some dates or times may cross paths. We are doing this as a family which means way more fun for all of us ☺️. As you can see by the pictures, I have a son who is 8 years old. His name is Aiden. He loves dogs and any fur animal. His goal is to have a dog when he’s a little older, so this is also a great experience for him to learn how it is to take care of a dog, with us doing most of the work 😂. My husband’s name is Josue and he has been around dogs all his life. He is great with dogs of all sizes and always has treats to make sure they know that they’re doing a great job. Anytime my husband sees any dogs all he wants to do is lay on the ground and have them all over him lol. Since we’re doing this as a family, we want to thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to watch, love, and care for your pups. I am doing this full-time, I love and enjoy taking care of your pups so I will always be available with open arms. I have plenty of time to walk, play, train, and snuggle your pups. I have a great backyard and a family ready to play. Doing this full-time has been a blessing not only for myself but for my family as well 💙💙. I have a fenced yard and I provide the crates as well if needed and we have all sizes. My house is very secure with a very big backyard, as well as two dog rooms for them to play in, sleep in, or have down time. The house will always be open for roaming. I want them to feel at home here🐾💙

“Sierra was punctual and very friendly during our meet and greet walk, we look forward to more in the future!”

About: I’ve always had family pets. We’ve adopted several dogs, young and old, over the years. We currently do not have our own pets, but understand how important it is to feel relaxed when traveling, knowing your furry family is taken care of while away. I am self-employed and work from home. This allows me to be very accommodating when watching your pets and/or home. My wife is an RN and would be able to step in should my schedule not accommodate a particular situation. I prefer to watch your pets in their routine environment knowing it makes them less anxious while you’re away. Depending on your pet and their disposition, I could also allow them time in our home.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for 10+ years including my personal pup, hamster, and kitten! I overnight sit and have even done work as a professional caregiver. I’m currently working full time until my schooling picks up. I will then be working part time but am still able to travel for sitting and/or sit at home. I’m flexible and can work to your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and friendly neighbors. We have a park directly across from my house. I am also a very active athlete and generally I go outdoors a couple times a days for walks anyways.
