Dog Walking in Aspen, Davis, CA

About: I've cared for animals my whole life, and taken great solace in their company. I've been around a lot of working dogs and a lot of apartment cats, and found things to love about all of them. I've even done some pet photography, which is always a fun challenge. I'm between jobs and have an open schedule. I'm happy to move things around for your convenience. I'm always up by 9 and usually home by midnight. I try to give pets who spend their day alone a little bit of extra attention and care. I think it's enriching for both of us!

“Esmerilda is an absolutely fantastic person and cares immensely for our dog. She has been our weekly dog walker for a little over 6 months--Our dog is a rescue and was quite difficult in the beginning, but Esmerilda has done a lot to help train and rehabilitate her. She also has done house sitting for us. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with their dogs.”

In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I offer a cozy, clean, and peaceful space where they can relax, play, and enjoy lots of one-on-one attention.

No matter the setting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 17, spent the night at houses with animals, provided walks, food, baths and playtime. Many clients have asked me back. I have worked with both cats and dogs. I also grew up with cats and dogs and know how to care for them well. I am currently on summer break here in Davis with a pretty open schedule. Please reach out and we can coordinate a time that works with both of us! A clean and safe environment that is comfortable for both the animals and myself. Has parking, preferably fenced for extra safety, neighbors who are willing to communicate with me.

“This was my first time ever using Rover or hiring a dog walker and Nora was AMAZING!! She was so wonderful with my senior lab and flexible with her needs. Thank you for taking such great care of her while I was away!”

About: I grew up around dogs of all sizes and ages, but in 6th grade I finally got my own puppy! I was responsible for crate training, potty training, and all of her other needs. My “puppy” is 9 years old now, and she has been loved her entire life. I am a current college student enjoying the summer break. I am available 7 days a week, with only a few hours of the week dedicated to my part time job, leaving plenty of time to check-in, play, or walk your fur baby!

About: I’ve been lucky to spend most of my life around animals - growing up with three amazing dogs gave me over 15 years of hands on experience, and I now have two sweet cats of my own (one of whom has asthma, so I’m also experienced with administering medication using an AeroKat). I love spending time with animals and believe in meeting each one where they’re at - whether that means a high energy walk, some playtime, or just quiet companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and routine. Whether you're out for the day or a longer trip, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule to stop by and care for your pet during the day - also available for overnights. Happy to follow instructions on how to care for your pet's specific needs - available to help with medication and have experience working with asthmatic cats.

About: I grew up with a bird and dog, and a cat was recently added to the family (I do not live with any pets currently). I backpack trained the cat, made toys and fortresses for the cat, took the dog on walks and hikes, whistled to the bird, and gave all the animals as many pets as I can! I've additionally done lots of pet sitting over the years for friends and family: cats, small dogs, medium dogs, rats, mice, aquariums, and insects. I don't mind reptiles either! I have a flexible schedule, spare for Thursdays when I have class (but still available for evenings after 6pm). I am willing to wake up early or stay up late for the job. I make sure to take things slow when needed in order to prevent stress for the animals. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding and cleaning. And I try to engage with the animals as much as possible when they are up for it. There is a tendency to be more easy going but I amp up the energy for playtime and walks. I like to walk in general, so I can go far for those higher energy dogs!

“Liv has been walking our two big dogs the past few weeks and she has been great! Our dogs are pooped at the end of the walk and are calmer throughout the rest of the day. Communication is great and she's very flexible. Our dogs love her ☺️”

About: I’m a born animal lover, and I find joy in spending time with dogs: A man’s best friend. I trained my dog to when I first got her 5 years ago as a puppy, and I continue to do so as she ages. I am able to take care of your pets on fridays and over the weekend! I’m a college student, so I try to be as flexible as possible. I’m living in an apartment with two roommates, so I won’t be able to board your furry friends, but I am more than happy to keep them company at your house!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life — I have 3 dogs and 2 cats now, and I’ve raised everything from ducks to horses. I grew up with dogs, hatched and cared for ducks, and worked as a ranch hand, so I’m confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or farm animals, I bring calm energy, patience, and lots of love. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time during the week to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. I don’t offer boarding, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I know how important it is for animals to feel safe and relaxed in their own space, and I’ll make sure their routine is followed, their needs are met, and they get plenty of love while you’re away.

“Alex has been amazing with our nervous and fearful German Shepherd puppy. She took her time and was very patient with our dog, offering positive reinforcement and making little steps every day. Only after a week, Nova was in love with Alex and is always happy to go on walks with her. I highly recommend Alex!”
