Dog Walking Boiling Point

About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience with dogs that many sitters never encounter. I own Apollo, a pit-mix with high reactivity, and have worked through his training alongside a professional trainer as well as through my own dedicated research and practice. That process taught me how to read canine body language, manage triggers, and stay calm and consistent under pressure; skills that directly benefit any dog in my care. I also share my home with Thalia, a high-energy husky, so I know exactly what it takes to keep a high-drive dog mentally and physically stimulated. Beyond my own pets, I've built real experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family and friends, sometimes for days or weeks at a time, handling daily visits and routines solo. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I bring the same patience and attentiveness to every animal regardless of size, breed, or temperament. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have my own, so caring for animals isn't just a service I offer, it's something I genuinely love. As an online student working toward my Bachelor's degree, I have the flexibility to be present throughout the day, whether that's a midmorning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or a multi-day house sit. Because my coursework is self-paced, your pet always gets my full focus. I structure my day around the pets in my care, not the other way around. My priority is keeping your pet's world as normal as possible while you're away. I follow their established routine closely: feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits you share with me. Consistency is what keeps animals calm and comfortable. Every visit includes food, water, exercise, and real quality time, not just a quick check-in. You can expect photo updates after every visit so you always know how things are going. I'm comfortable with dogs, cats, and other pets, and I adapt to what each individual animal needs.

About: Coming from Colorado, I’ve been in pet services for almost two years and love it! I first started dog walking services in 2021 to close friends and family and then decided to work at a local doggy daycare/ boarding company called ULD, here I opened myself up to so many new things and grew my love for animals. I am skilled in pet bathing, pet walking, pet sitting, giving medical needs and much more. I am very flexible and will be willing to do anything I can to work out a great schedule that is right for both you and your pet I treat them with unconditional love, respect and will do what’s best for their needs. I want to make sure they have a safe home and live a healthy life.

About: My grandmother has had dogs before I was even born, so growing up around them definitely gives me an advantage on how to treat, and care how the sweet things. Im currently working part time at a restaurant, while doing college online so I have more of an open availability during the week and longer hours. While helping my Grandma at her farm, helping her care for all sorts of pets has helped me with my experience and help care of pets safely and know what to do and not to do. I always make sure their body language seems safe, I never want to make an animal scared or uncomfortable, and treats are a must!

About: I have cared for animals on my ranch in Acton, CA for over 30 years. I get along well with them because of the mutual trust and respect developed between us. I am adept at maintaining safe, clean living environments and noticing any problems which may crop up. I have worked with a variety of dog breeds of different ages and also have a great method for obedience training. I can provide information on this as agreed to between the owner and myself. I have one dog of my own at the moment. She is a rescue, and I know her particular needs. The same would be true of your dog/s. Each enclosure on my ranch is basically a huge corral with shelter attached. Dogs can exercise themselves and seek shelter whenever they want. I am also able to keep them indoors provided they are housebroken and reasonably well behaved. I can give medications and provide personalized care as needed. Services provided include the following? -Lots of private space for each dog -Dedicated care plans for senior dogs or those needing medications -Large tree-abundant yards. No cages -Leash walk and play time -In-door stays available when dictated by the weather -Social activities with other dogs given they are compatible with each other -Regular photo updates and videos I'd love to meet you and your dog. Let's schedule a meet and greet to become acquainted. Carole I'm am available for boarding on both weekends and weekdays. Since I am retired, this means I can check in on your dogs boarded at my facility on a regular basis. My premises are double-fenced for the security of client dogs. Dogs have plenty of water, and I feed them according to owner specifications. Wading pools are provided in the summer, and there are adequate shelters for dogs to stay in out of the weather when they choose. Any extra exercise desired by the owner outside of the exercise dogs give themselves in the large enclosed areas are arranged for between the client and myself. I will be happy to give high energy dogs extra exercise by playing fetch with them a few times during the day. I will also spend time reassuring over-anxious dogs by just being with them.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats independently since I was young, and am great at quickly learning about different pets! Each has their own fun personality and it's important to learn about them and put that into care.

I have great experience taking care of pets personally, and am happy to fit myself into your pet's daily routine! I love taking dogs (and even cats who are willing) out to play and enjoy the weather, as well as relaxing inside and spending time together. I am great at caring for just one to multiple pets at a time as well!

About: I’ve had a lifelong love for dogs and many years of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve owned dogs for most of my life and understand how much they truly become part of the family. In addition to being a dog owner, I’ve worked closely with dogs and their owners at a dog boutique, where I gained valuable experience handling dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable giving medications and following detailed care instructions, whether that’s daily meds, special feeding schedules, or extra TLC for senior pups. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies who need patience and structure to older dogs who benefit from a calm, gentle approach. My goal is always to make dogs feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I treat every dog as if they were my own and take pride in being attentive, reliable, and genuinely passionate about their well-being. I am a stay at home dog mom and have a fairly flexible schedule. I can accommodate most schedules for you and your fur baby. I am comfortable walking most dogs and can help with leash training. I have Australian Shepherds and can throw a ball like I pitch for the Dodgers.

About: I have been around and handling animals my whole life. Big or small doesn’t make a difference to me. You can have 1 or 100 the more the merrier I’ve always said. I have experience with young big puppies and wait for you in the darkness to trip you cats. The “ excuse me may I have one more treat” horse to the parkour off you and everything goat. The sneaky kitties get caught redded pawed and the blubbering hounds sing with joy. I just moved back to Santa Clarita after living in Texas for 9 years. I’m currently doing handyman freelance work so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I try my best to make it seam like you’re not even gone by keeping to your pets normal scheduled routine and activities. That includes walks, feedings, medication, playtime, outside time a long with lots snuggles and plenty of treats (if allowed)

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 20 +years. I’ve always had to time to walk them, groom them, and nature them. I provide daily care for my pups.

I have plenty of time to play or go for walks with your fur baby. I have a big yard with fence and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company.

About: I'm not scared of animals and I know how to read them. I give each pet the time it needs to get comfortable so that I can establish a relationship of trust. I'm nether a cat person or a dog person or a tortoise person for that matter, I love all pets equally. I've taken care of virtually every kind of house, pet (including my aunt's chinchilla) thank you got something I haven't seen before? Bring it on. I'm ready for it all. I don't consider taking care of pets to be at shore or work. I take care of them because they take care of me. They keep me calm and grounded, even when things are at their most chaotic. First things first, I treat each animal as if it were my own. I make sure to give each pet the attention it deserves. Upon first introduction and the patients to let it get comfortable when needed.

“Chloe is highly referable. She does a great job with the dogs!”

About: I have dealt with many different pet personalities and genuinely care about their needs. I aim to give your four-legged friends the attention they deserve. I believe that a dog should have the ability to see what outside looks like, and visit different areas such as parks. I also believe that all pets act a certain way for a reason, and shouldn't be yelled at, or treated badly if they aren't 'easy-going' or 'social'. Personally, my love for pets started when I got my first dog as five years old. Named him Rocky after the boxer, Rocky Balboa. Unfortunately, he passed away two years ago from old age. He was blind, but he still recognized my voice...which was pretty amazing. Rocky showed me that a dog could truly be a man's best friend. I pledge to give the upmost care to your best friend. I currently work from home, so I will have plenty of time to play, walk, and give your pet the love they need while you’re away. I will carefully review your instructions in order to provide the best and safest environment for your pet(s). My services will be provided at a level that gives you and your pet maximum comfort.
