Dog Walking Bird Land

About: I have an anxious dog and a feisty cat so I’m not stranger to quirky animals. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a kid and I’m open for drop ins or overnights. I work full time, but I’m available for weekend overnights and can do drop ins through the week. I don’t work mornings so I’m especially available then. I’m trustworthy with animals and great at following instructions for your specific needs! I can play with your pets or let them have their space.

About: I’ve been a dog & cat dad and been an uncle to many more over the years. I have lived with pets all my life. Most recently, 2 years with a Shih Tzu, Sola, and have cared for her throughout our time together. I have watched over my friend’s pets for weeks on end and enjoy the time we spend together. I love seeing the bond between people and their furry friends! I have helped raised a surprise litter of puppies, trained them, and helped them find good homes! We still keep in contact with their new loving families! I am currently working from home on a part time schedule, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. I can accommodate to most schedules and carry my work with me. Sola has two small homes she uses as her safety zone. A crate is for when she is feeling stressed and a fuzzy home for when she wants privacy. We have an understanding to not cross her boundaries and when she enters those spaces, we give her the privacy she requests. Understanding animals boundaries is important to me, for my safety, their wellbeing, and to maintain trust, especially if I’m a stranger to them.

“Our doggie seemed to be immediate friends with Madeira. She was good at coaxing a stubborn dog to get out on her walk! Communication was always there when she couldn’t make it exactly on time.”

About: Whether your dog needs a brisk, high-energy walk or a long, sniffing adventure hiking through the trails, I am ready to keep them moving and happy. Because I love the outdoors, I am more than happy to walk in all weather conditions! I am very comfortable with larger breeds and pups that have a lot of puppy energy to burn off. I am new to the Rover platform, but I have years of experience of providing private pet care and dog walking for friends and family! Safety is always my top priority when I am out with your pet. When we go for a walk, your dog will have my full, undivided attention! I always follow your specific leash rules, safety commands, and route preferences to ensure a smooth, worry-free trip! I have a flexible schedule and would love to build a regular routine with your pup! Let's connect to chat about your dogs personality, favorite walks/hikes and how I can help them get the perfect outdoor workout! I am currently new to the area so I am pretty flexible before 3pm! I am an early riser and a morning person, so earlier in the day is great for me! I am strong and athletic so I can care for dogs of all sizes. I like to communicate with my clients on their dogs current state of training so I can help to continue that, how they interact with other dogs, leash training, can they go in the car if they like to hike, and what their dogs enjoy the most- whether it be a dog park, a hike, or just a walk through the neighborhood! I give my undivided attention so I am not wearing headphones or using my phone.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog, Kono, for 15 years and developed a bond that means the world to me! I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior companions. Growing up, I cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small critters, and I’ve continued to provide loving care as a pet sitter for friends and family. I’m well-versed in daily routines, administering medications, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. What makes me stand out is my commitment to treating each pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand their unique needs, preferences, and quirks to provide personalized care. My background in customer service has instilled in me patience and attention to detail—qualities I carry over into pet care. Whether it’s playing fetch with high-energy dogs, keeping senior pets comfortable, or following specific training guidelines, I go the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy and healthy. I’m also reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is in good hands. It would be an honor to take care of your furry family member while you’re away—they’ll be loved, safe, and entertained! I incorporate pet care seamlessly into my day by planning my activities around their feeding, exercise, and any special care routines they may need. Whether it’s an energetic morning walk or a calming evening on the couch, caring for pets brings joy and balance to my week. Being part of their lives is not just a responsibility—it's something I truly love doing. I believe it is important to treat every pet, family, and home with respect and compassion. I value honesty and dependability, which I demonstrate with strong communication.

“Lynn is a great dog walker and caregiver! She walks my boys on a regular basis and kept them at her house for a few days. The boys love Lynn and I trust her to take great care of them. Would recommend her to all dog lovers!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have over 15 years of experience. I’m loving, patient, and always put your dog’s happiness first 💕 I have a flexible schedule and enjoy making time for pet care. I’m available for walks during weekdays and weekends, and I always prioritize your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow instructions carefully, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.

About: I've grown up with dogs in the household and love having a furry friend around to play with and snuggle! I am an active person who loves going on multiple walks a day. I currently work from home with a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I usually go on a few walks a day around the neighborhood. I have a fenced in patio and a secure home for dogs. I like to be in the same room as the dog I am watching

About: Hi! I'm Jonathan, a San Diego local. I've owned dogs for more than 20 years. The first dog that was all my own was Parker, a corgi-beagle mix. I got him at 8 weeks old and cared for him until he passed at age 9. He loved spending time at dog beaches, dog-friendly restaurants, and breweries. Prior to Parker I had Alley, a rescued mini poodle mix. I cared for her into her adult and senior years, until she reached about 19 years old. My years with Parker and Alley taught me that every dog has their own pace, but they all appreciate structure. They also taught me the importance of paying attention and getting to know each dog. Dogs can't tell you when something's off, so small changes in appetite and behavior matter. I like to be playful and goofy with dogs (I talk to them like people), but I also know it's my job to make sure they feel safe and know what to expect. I will follow your established routine and rules, and can also help reinforce good behaviors. What you and your fur baby can expect: - Reliability. My schedule is flexible and mostly open on weekdays, so I can do midday walks, last-minute drop-ins, and stays of any length, including single nights. If plans change, I tell you right away. - Clear communication. You'll get a photo and a quick note after every visit so you always know how your dog is doing. - Walks that are more than a potty break. I like getting outside and exploring new routes and spots, and I keep control of the walk so it stays safe. - Experience beyond walks. I've cared for dogs overnight, including week-long stays. I'm comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and every age in between. I'd love to do a meet-and-greet with you and your dog, so we can get comfortable before the first visit. Send me a message with your dog's name, age, and any quirks, and we can set it up! My schedule is flexible and mostly open on weekdays, so I can do midday walks and last-minute drop-ins. I can also spend a full day with your dog, at your home or out on adventures, whatever you approve and your dog would enjoy. I can care for your dog in your home or any other environment you approve, and I'll make sure they feel safe. I will follow any of your care instructions, ensure your home is secured (if applicable), and send a photo and note after every visit.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most my life. I've had up to three dogs of my own at a time. Had to say goodbye to two of them last year. I have a one year sweet pup named Lucy that has been great around all dogs big and small. I work full time from home so I am more than happy to have your dog for the day while you're at work, or for the night if you're away. I can stop in to let your dog out throughout the day if needed. I do have 2 cats in the house so would need dogs that are cat friendly or ignore them. Look forward to meeting your pup! I do have a full time job, but I do work from home so I do have a very flexible schedule so I am available to take care of your pet during the week. I am free pretty much all day on Saturdays and Sunday I am very respectful of your home and belongings. I truly do love animals and I can assure you I will treat your pet(s) and spoil them just as I do my own

“Colin was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. He was able to give my dog a long walk for the time and kept me updated throughout the time. Would recommend to anyone in Folsom/Sacramento area!”

About: As a fellow dog parent, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog. I care for every pup like they’re my own! With patience, love, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your dog is full of energy or just wants some company, I adapt to their needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily accommodate dog walking, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the day. Since I already care for my own dog, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine: walks, playtime, and attention are built into my day! When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and happy. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of cuddles, making sure each dog’s needs and routines are followed closely. Since I have my own dog, your pet will also get social time and companionship. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your dog’s usual schedule for feeding, walking, and play. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for even when you’re away.

About: I have cared for personal dogs and cats my entire life whether that be for a few days or just a few hours, I have also been relied on to care for friends and family members beloved animals. I have a completely open schedule this summer and am willing to give close attention to the needs of any animal I may care for. Giving my outright attention the entire time I am caring for them. I personally would not bring clients dogs into my own home because I have my own two dogs and a cat, so would just want to avoid any issues between them. However, I will gladly care for the animals in the clients home with attentiveness and care. I have experience with puppies all the way down to four months old and elderly dogs who may need medication, extra care and a close watch.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and getting to know each dog's unique personality is one of my favorite parts of what I do. Over the past 5+ years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities from high energy pups who love to play to anxious or reactive dogs who just need a little extra patience and understanding. My own dog, Xochitl, has taught me so much about reading body language, building trust, and creating positive experiences for every dog I care for. She's playful, friendly, and loves making new friends, which has been a wonderful bonus for many of the dogs who stay with us. I'm experienced caring for puppies, reactive dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with medical needs, including administering oral medications, eye drops, following special diets, and sticking to detailed routines. Every dog is different, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and safe. A few things you can always expect from me: 💛 5+ years of hands-on dog care experience 💛 Experience with large & small breeds, high-energy, anxious, and reactive dogs 💛 Plenty of walks, playtime, mental enrichment, and cuddles 💛 Regular photo & video updates (plus the occasional funny moment!) 💛 Careful attention to body language, routines, and your dog's individual needs 💛 A clean, calm, and loving environment where your pup is treated like family At the end of the day, I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. My schedule is pretty flexible before August 24, 2026 before school starts. If possible, let me know a couple days in advance so we can get you booked! 🐾 My apartment is dog friendly and located in a safe, very walkable neighborhood. There are multiple designated areas nearby for dogs to use the bathroom, as well as several dog parks within a 10 min walking distance for dogs who enjoy extra exercise and social time. All outings are based on the owner’s preferences and the dog’s comfort level. Dogs in my care are always supervised, follow their regular routines, and receive attentive, structured care. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their established routines so pets feel comfortable and secure!

“Ravit did walks with our dog Ada for a little over a week. She quickly bonded with Ada, who was excited to see her every day. Ravit was flexible when we wanted to change times or find extra times. She took great cute pictures and gave frequent updates. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been around animals for many years and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. I'm happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if instructed, go on walks, play with energetic pets, or simply provide companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have very flexible schedule as well so if I’m needed, I can always stop by in addition to the already scheduled times. I try to be around as much as I can. For walks, I usually walk them earlier in the morning before it gets too hot for them.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sherry is someone I trust completely with Luca. From the very beginning, she has been dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether it’s a planned walk or last-minute help, I know Luca is safe, comfortable, and well cared for with her. Sherry keeps me updated and treats Luca like her own, which gives me total peace of mind. Knowing I can rely on her and trust her in my home with my dog means everything. I’m incredibly grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!!”
