Dog Walkers in Black Oaks, CA

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with a lovable dog named Marley (in my profile picture). At just 10 years old, I started walking dogs around my neighborhood, and that grew into a passion for pet care. While I’ve mostly catsat over the years, I’ve also had the unique experience of snakesitting! Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I love all animals and treat every pet like my own. My schedule is currently open and will be until this upcoming school year. My other passion is working with children and i’m planning to be a substitute teacher starting this fall! I grew up with the notion “leave the place better than you found it.” I’m very aware of leaving a clients home nice and clean. I’m not afraid of picking up pet messes and i’m very good at putting things back where I found them. I pay close attention to care instructions as I believe it’s important to keep a pet on their familiar schedule.

About: I grew up with all types of animals and I have worked as a kennel tech and certified veterinary assistant at multiple vet hospitals starting in 2020. I just graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Animal Science and have completed my first year of vet school at the Royal Veterinary College in London. All of this means I am equipped to handle any situation and any type of animal. I look forward to getting to meet your fur family! I am in Sonoma county for the summer before starting my second year of vet school in late September, so I am spending my free time pet sitting and dog walking! Whenever checking on pets in homes I will be able to ensure they are doing well and are safe and healthy. This includes everything from ensuring they have fresh water to making sure all doors or gates are closed so your pets are safe! I also love to take extra time to give them some love and play time to keep them mentally stimulated!

About: At my youngest age, I balanced on the lines of wanting to be a veterinarian or a marine biologist. My passion for animals and other life forms on this planet fuels my love and enjoyment of spending time with the pets I have and had in the past, along with new furry friends to meet. Currently working a flexible internship with a good amount of free time. Happy to fill it walking doggos, checking in on any furry friend, and love pet sitting over night. Safe and quiet home environment with a private backyard and lots of windows to catch sun rays. Play space and plenty of toys to choose from. I am also a person who enjoys talking to animals so I will consistently talk to them!

About: I have been a pet sitter for many years starting when I was 12 where I was puppy training and house sitting twice a week for 3 years. I love animals but I am allergic to cats so I will need to know about cats before hand. My schedule is very flexible this summer so I can work whenever. I have a few trips planned this summer but other than that I am free Monday-Saturday until September. I love playing with animals taking them on walks, playing with toys and teaching them tricks if I can. I consider myself an athletic person so I mostly would spend my time taking the animal on walks if I can.

About: I have a lot of experience with pet sitting. Not only have I owned dogs for over 20 years; but I have also watched my friends, families, and coworker's pets. My favorite thing about cats and dogs is how innocent they are, how silly they get when excited or happy, and how as they grow up they start to pick up personality traits from their owners. I will ensure your pet's safety while you are away and give my all to making them happy. I feel that I am the best candidate for both dog and cat sitting due to my experience and my ability to be patient, caring, and kind. I look forward to working with you in the near future. My day job is hybrid so I am able to plan my schedule accordingly. Pet sitting does not affect my day to day schedule and I look forward to meeting new fur babies. My pets are fed on a schedule to ensure their diets are regular. I always make sure that the floor is swept and vacuumed so that they don't pick anything up from the floor. I clean their food and water bowl daily and wash my dogs paws once they come in from walking on the street.

About: Hello I’m a dedicated, honest, and reliable pet sitter/walker. I have loved animals my whole life, my family has always had multiple dogs at a time. I was 16 when I started working at a doggy day care (called stay and play dog care), where I got to work around no less than 15 dogs at a time and I absolutely loved it. I was in charge of walking, feeding, training, playing and occasionally staying the night with them. I have the ability to walk up to 8 dogs at one. I left that job for schooling to become a Certified Veterinary Assistant, I am currently working in the veterinary field but I would love to pet sit in my free time. I’m currently working full-time but it’s a short drive from my work to home, I always come home on my lunch break to walk and play with the animals. I have crates and a fenced yard for any time dogs will be left alone. I will care for your pet like one of my own.

“Karen is a lovely dog walker. No complaints whatsoever!”

About: Experienced with all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I provide calm, attentive care, stick to routines, and handle meds or special needs confidently. Pet care is currently my top priority at this time, allowing me to be able to focus on your pet and their specific needs every single day. In clients' homes, I follow their pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and meds as needed. I keep the space tidy and pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free.

About: Hello! My name is Chiara. In addition to walking and taking care of dogs, I can also pet-sit cats and other animals in the household. I have experience administering medicine to animals, as well as keeping constant attention on those that require more daily assistance. I have had 2 cats (1 with special medical needs) in the past 11 years and also have taken care of large dog breeds that were owned by my family, including huskies. I know how to handle and control the attention of a big dog on walks. A little about me; I am Master's student at Rice University, but my hometown is sonoma county. I am part time, and will update my availability as often as I can. Usually I am free more around the holiday seasons as well as summer. I do house visits, and the protection of your pet is my highest priority. The next is making sure they are fed and happily attended to!

About: From the time I was little, I have always had a sweet pet at home to take care of and spend time with-I believe that any pet can be a lifelong friend and provide emotional support in many ways! I have experience with puppies, working/service dogs, older dogs, and animals that need extra care. As a Healdsburg local, I am here to relieve the stress of travel and being away from your fur-babies. At home, I have a ragdoll named Lazuli who has been my loyal companion through my studies- he followed me back from a hike and the rest is history! If you are looking for a flexible and out-of-the-box thinker to take care of your pet, I am always here! I'm currently building my own business where working from home is my mainstay on a daily basis-with this, I always have a flexible schedule that allows for short notice bookings and multiple drop-in visits on a daily visit if need be! Each and every client I serve has different needs and I am here to tailor your pet's experience to what it is used to. This custom experience will allow me to learn about what makes your pup/kitty tick and how to make the best out of their time being away from you!

About: Hi, I’m Karina. I’m fun, energetic and love to cuddle just like your pup! I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals, but by far my favorite were all the dogs we owned. I’ve had small cuddly dogs like maltipoos and little terrier mixes to large golden retrievers and springer spaniel border collie mixes. For the last 3 years I worked full-time with Bonehemian Wags, the premium dog care company based in Sebastopol. I specialized in pack walking, training and socialization, so there’s no need to worry that your beloved family member is in the right hands! I love to adventure and take my own two dogs out on long hikes or to the beach. My younger dog is a German short-haired pointer. If you don't know of the breed, they are full of energy...CONSTANTLY. You can be sure if your pup comes to stay with us, they will leave tired. Whether we go on a hike, take them into town with us for some socialization or explore our property here, they will not be bored. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions/concerns. I am already engaging and exercising our own dogs daily, so having yours tag along only adds to the fun. I have my two large dogs who are very friendly and obedient, so no bad behaviors will be passed on here. Our older dog tends to keep to himself but our younger gsp loves to make new friends and has yet to fail to convince another pup they won't have a good time playing together. Although my dogs are off leash most of the time, they are well trained in leash walking as well, which is a great way to introduce your dog to mine. We love to have fun and be silly around here, but above all like to keep our dogs safe. After all they are family! I’m currently spending my days working with dogs as much as I can. From walking to boarding, training and almost anything in between. Dogs are always on the schedule! I have a spacious fenced in yard and plenty of space in doors, as well as crates if your pup needs some space to themselves.

About: Hi! Not only am I a reliable pet sitter, but I’m also fun and constantly outside exploring. I work remotely for a company called the Greenspan co Adjsuters international, so when I’m not working I have a lot of free time I’m trying to fill up. Please message me if you have any questions Thank you:) I work remotely so I have a lot of free time to be tending to your animals needs and have playtime/ adventuring. I work on the weekends. I have a fenced yard, and have plenty of water around for dogs. As for cats my husband and I are currently trying to build a catio.

About: I've taken excellent care of dogs, cats, and livestock for the past 25 years. Neighbors, friends and my own family have always been able to rely heavily on me to take great care of their pets. I've also got my own business page on facebook as well. I'm currently looking to expand my pet sitting and ranch care services, and am available pretty much any day of the week to provide my services. I don't offer to board other animals at my home for liability reasons. I have 1 horse, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. All 4 of my animals get pampered every single day with the best food that monet can buy, and all the love in the world from me. I'm currently not employed, and so am working on trying to expand my business as an animal care provider. You can also find me on facebook by searching for Kimi's Pet & Ranch Care Services. I treat each and every animal like they were my own. For example, I don't allow just anyone to come and take care of my 4 animals as I'm pretty protective of them, and would absolutely treat your 4 legged fur babies the same way

About: I volunteered at Canine Companions as a vet tech for 20 years. Volunteered at Green Dog Rescue Project for 3 years. Had my own cat rescue. I work part time with flexible hours. I have a farm with plenty of fenced open space for dogs to run. All dogs will spend hours with me each day. I have large fenced areas for dogs to run about during the day. The dogs will have quiet rooms to spend the night in. Cats will have their own rooms to roam about.

“My husband and I (and of course Prince, our dog) think Stephan is great. He has training experience with dogs which is a definite plus and why we chose him for the job. We'll definitely be calling on Stephen in the future and booking him for days when we're not able to walk Prince ourselves. We also love the fact that Stephan has experience with doggy daycare, as we'd like to see Prince socialize more and his being with dog play mates offers a well rounded experience. Prince really like him. Dogs are good indicators of people and he thinks Stephen is a winner, so do we. We'll be booking again in a few weeks and are very pleased with Prince coming home thoroughly satisfied from a long walk. Thanks Rover!”

About: I love dogs! I have had two amazing dogs in my childhood and absolutly love dogs. I am a very responsible and promise to care and love for your dog while you are away. I have always had cats when I was a child too so when having to care for them I do have a background in both dog and cat sitting and walking. I love going on walks and believe that dogs should be walked to get their engergy out. I am looking to walk dogs not only to get money but also getting workout myself. I promise to care and love for your animals and will always listen and respect the wishes that you have. When I set my mind something I achieve that goal so when I would commit to walking your dog, I will. Thank you I am working an on call full time job as well as a student online. Availability will vary depending on the day and time. Thank you I personally don't have any pets at home currently, I can't afford it and am a student. I love animals so this helps getting my animal needs without owning my own dog or cat.

About: I have over 17 years experience of in-home dog-sitting and dog-walking, most of that in the SF Bay Area since I moved to California from England, UK in the early 2000s. I have looked after many different breeds of dogs: large and small, young and old while working for a professional pet-sitting business based in Marin from 2008 to 2015 and 2021 to 2022. My experience included extended periods of in-home care while owners were away, and also daily dog-walks. We’ve had a pets in my household for most of my life including dogs, cats, rabbits and other smaller critters! I’ve looked after all of the above as a petsitter including many cats! All pets have their unique personalities and i enjoy getting to know them to make sure they will be happy and healthy in my care. I am available thru Rover for morning, afternoon and evening dog-walking. I work most weekday afternoons apart from Thursdays usually. Weekends, holidays am also available. I recommend an initial meet and greet to get to know the set up at your home and/or follow along on a typical local walk.

About: I have been in the Veterinary field for 5 years now and love everything about working with animals. I have 4 kids and 2 fur babies and wouldn't trade it for the world. Animals are my life. There is no fitting animals into my life. Little waging tails or our fathered friends make the world go round. Ask anyone who is an animal lover. My dogs always come first. Their health and safe is a must. Making sure there is nothing they can hurt themselves on or making sure doors are shut and locked that need to be. Cuddles and play times is a must.

“Katie was great. She came at the time we requested and my dog was very happy to get a walk everyday when we were not home. I will have her come again next time we go out of town.”
