Dog Walking Burdell

About: With over two decades caring for animals, I understand the importance of consistency, structure, and heartfelt connection. I tailor care to their unique & individual energy level and temperament, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged. Skills include: • Providing daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Administering medication and special dietary care • Following training cues and behavioral guidelines • Handling puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs • Ensuring safety and comfort during solo time or socialization • Offering basic grooming and cleanliness maintenance I’m dedicated to creating a fun, secure space for pets to thrive while their humans are away. I’m currently focused on getting a book published, which means my schedule can be flexible yet full—if you catch my drift. Working with animals not only keeps me inspired but also supports my growing business, which combines professional cleaning with attentive pet sitting. ⸻ Pet care is a meaningful and energizing part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, feeding, or simply offering quiet companionship, I prioritize pets’ well-being and happiness every day. Because I’m currently working on publishing a book, I have the flexibility to dedicate focused, consistent time to each animal I care for. This means I can adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra playtime, medication administration, or simply being a calm presence while you’re away. Our family continues to heal from the loss of our beloved cat, Giraffe, last year. Caring for animals has been a vital source of comfort and strength as we embrace this new chapter. I’m dedicated to creating a clean, calm, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cherished. I look forward to providing thoughtful, reliable care for your furry family members while you’re away. Pet care is not just a job for me; it’s a source of inspiration and joy that fits naturally into my lifestyle and supports the balance I’m building in life here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to their needs. In Your Home: I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions — so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep their space clean, respect their boundaries, and offer companionship and playtime based on their personality and energy level. I also ensure your home stays tidy and secure while you’re away. In My Home: If your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, comfortable space where I prioritize consistency and care. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and adjust accordingly to keep them happy and relaxed. No matter the setting, I treat every animal like family — with patience, respect, and affection — ensuring they feel safe and loved throughout their stay.

About: I spend time with my friend's dogs just for fun. I have been taking care of animals most of my life. Animals inherently trust me, and I just completely adore them. I am active, love running with dogs, love playing with them, and love cuddling them. I worked on a farm as well for a year, and took care of 60 animals, so I am used to working hard for animals, and thoroughly enjoy it! I have not met a dog I didn't like, and I am good with all different breeds and sizes. I love the dog park, it is a slice of heaven for me, and I would spend every day there if I was able to. Hope to hear from you. Thanks!

“Janaki did a great job for us . She arrived on time and was able to make friends with our dog that has a bad tendency to over react when greeting newcomers, but Janaki was able to handle this well. We liked her photos on the walk especially charmed with phot of her holding two bags of poop.”

About: Pets have been an important part of our family for over 50 years. We have raised a Basenji, a couple of labs, cute mutts, many cats, even squirrels. During the last year, I have been pet and house sitting for others, who have requested me back many times when they are away. I give their pets the same care and love I give my pets. Currently, we have three adorable and loving cats roaming our home. I have also cared for My mother, mother and father in law and my husband in my home full time during their declining years. I'm retired and working as a pet sitter, when requested. Being retired gives me the freedom to house or pet sit at any time if I am not already working for someone else. I usually have overnight pet sitting. I request a schedule they already have for their pet/pets that I can follow. Feeding times, bathroom, and exercises their pets are comfortable with. I also request vet and emergency phone numbers. Phone numbers of neighbors they trust is always nice.

About: Hello! I’ve been dog walking for the past year and it’s become my favorite activity. I give careful, loving attention, and it’s a plus if the dog has been trained to respond to commands. I keep up with dog behavioral tips, carry essential items on-the-go, and you won’t find me scrolling on my phone during walks! I regularly walk a playful and adorable Labradoodle named Jerry, and a snuggable ChiPom named Lucy. I don’t yet have a dog of my own but I will always make time for them. Simply put, dogs make life better! I’m a former librarian who enjoys helping others, and when I’m not walking, you’ll find me planning on volunteer committees, singing in choirs, and mentoring a fantastic teen. I look forward to meeting you and your pooch/pooches! My services include walking only, not pet sitting. Safety comes first, then fun. I am easily adaptable to following specific instructions or rules from each owner.

About: My wife and I own our home and have large yard in sunny Corte Madera, about 15 miles north of San Francisco. I previously owned a veterinary hospital and pet boarding facility, so working with dogs is a life long passion of mine. Senior pets are welcome!!! I've had San Francisco (city) customers before, but mainly Marin County residents. Pups will have loving care around the clock. I’m retired and my wife works out of the house. Safe and secure environment with 24 hour monitoring. Secure fenced in yard with doggie door. Pups understand very quickly that we are there to take care of them and they feel safe and secure with us.

“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”
