Dog Walking Calville

About: I am a long time animal lover and have been working in pet care for over 25 years professionally. I have ample experience with dog walking and overnight pet sitting. I ran my own dog walking business as a sole proprietor for many years, and also have worked as an independent contractor for other dog walking & pet sitting companies. In the past, I've cared for many different animals of varying ages and breeds; from puppies and kittens to seniors. I have plenty of experience administering medication for animals who need it, whether it be ear/eye drops, pills, and insulin injections. I also have experience caring for small and furry (rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs) as well as scaly (fish, snakes, turtles). I'm responsible, caring, and punctual, and I genuinely care about providing great service to you and your pet. I am looking forward to meeting your furry (or scaly) friend! My schedule is fairly flexible and I will accept bookings Mon-Sun from 8am to 5pm. I prefer to do an free consultation with your dog before you book your first walk. I do appreciate advance bookings, but will do my best to fit you in! Your pet is a member of your family, so it is important to me that your pal feels loved and cared for while you are away. I travel to you and I am not currently available for boarding in my home.

About: I have been taking care of pets for a long time. I have had my own pets since I was young and have been taking care of other peoples’ pets for around five years. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and fish. I have a fairly open schedule and can make sure your pet is getting the care and attention that they need to be happy and healthy. I will make sure your pet is thoroughly cared for by following your pets’ routines and by providing food, water, and activity. I will also provide constant communication with you about your pet.

“Very conscientious and perfectly reliable”

About: My family has had animals running around for all of my life! Friends and family have relied on me to help watch, walk, and love dogs and cats! My family has 2 dogs we got in 2020 and 4 cats we have had for years! I am excellent with cats and understand that some need patience, time, and space to warm up to you! I love running around with dogs and getting their adrenaline going but I'm also a big sucker for some puppy cuddles! **Availability! As it is summer, I am not in school, or taking any classes. Rover is my main source of income! I am available for any and all :) I have a fenced yard with enough space for your pup to run around and a reliable dog park around the corner at Spring Canyon Park! I have no problem with putting your pup in a crate or giving your pet any medication they may need! I love to go on long walks and have your pup guide me with all the sniffies they desire (avoiding unfamiliar objects of course) but I also love to just sit and hangout if your pet prefers! If any pet has a disability or a disadvantage I have the patience to take it slow if they need it!

About: I've been around animals my entire life, and have cared for all kinds of dogs, specifically, as well as cats, rodents, and even exotic animals, but those are my own. I'm currently a college student looking for both a part time job and some other ways to get money. My schedule is flexible and isn't subject to change anytime soon! Personally, I’m iffy on boarding because i have 5 dogs myself, plus more animals in my house. However this does not change my love and attentiveness I will have for your pet! I love to play with them, give treats, walk them, and make sure they make minimal mess in your absence.

“Stella was great on a last min Holiday request, she was great with Zeph who can be weird with strangers and Tucker the slow old guy. I’d call Stella again!”

About: Animal lady here. I have four cats, five chickens, and a bearded dragon. I grew up with dogs as well. Two yorkies (brothers) and a schnauzer chow chow mix. I’ve had my fair share of bites and scratches, and am able to work with animals with some behavioral issues no problem. I am responsible and treat each animal as if it's my own. I'd be able to provide the best care, and not just care, but love and compassion as I know when pets are away from their owners, it could be a stressful time. I have reliable transportation and would be able to feed walk and clean up after pets. I’m also familiar with administering oral medications and topical medications. I have experience caring for animals with illnesses. As my previous dog had many breed related issues including diabetes. I also had a very sick cat I helped bring back from severe liver issues by syringe feeding and administering oral medications. I’ve house sat for friends with small animals and even snakes. I’ve cared for chickens before as well. I know animals sometimes have accidents in home as well and I have no problem cleaning up after them and cleaning the space. I have a pretty open schedule at the moment. I have a client on Fridays from 10:30am-1:30pm and Saturdays from 10:30am-2:30p. If you need services during any of these times, my current clients are flexible and always willing to work with me and move things around. I’d be able to care for pets in your home like it was my home. I also have clients I clean for, so a clean living space for people and pets important to me. One of my cats likes to try and eat anything he can get, non edible items especially, so I’m familiar with ‘baby proofing’ and keeping everything out of reach. I’m very aware of my surroundings and will keep a close eye on your pet. I don’t have social media and I’m not constantly distracted by my phone either. I’d be more than happy to update you as I’m there however and send many many pictures.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets ever since I was a young girl and knew my life would be dedicated to them. I then became a vet tech in 2018 and have loved being able to take care of them medically as well. I have gained so much knowledge of healthcare and husbandry ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors of all kinds of breeds and personalities to give your fur baby the best. I’m very familiar with most health conditions and comfortable with all medications(oral/injection) I am also responsive and prepared when health concerns or even emergencies come up. I have my own vet tech kit to treat minor injuries and illnesses but will always seek the appropriate medical care if necessary.I am also happy to provide basic grooming like bathing brushing and even nail trims ( all if they are comfortable with it) free of charge if requested. Your pet will be in the most excellent hands, I will always do everything in my power to keep them safe happy and healthy and I will love spending time with them. I am very professional reliable and you can rest easy knowing your pets are in my care and I will always keep you updated. I cannot wait to meet you and your pets as they will be treated like my own ( royal treatment for sure 👑) I’m just taking relief shifts as a vet tech currently and have a flexible schedule for pet sitting. When I’m taking care of your pets they are my number one priority. I will always care for your pets as my own and will always do everything I can to make sure they are comfortable happy and safe. I spoil my senior dog Curley and I always do the same for you pups no doubt. I always check in for mental and physical wellness 24/7 and make adjustments as needed.

“Dani has been extremely reliable. She gets the job done with no fuss no muss! It is really nice to have a trustworthy, regular dog walker who is great with my pooch and communicates just the right amount! Thanks Dani!”

“Simon has loved waking/running with Scott. Scott handles our dog well- at almost 5 years old Simon can pull me off of my feet. Simon sleeps better and is better behaved when he has exercised. We don’t have a fenced yard and the hours walk has improved Simon’s stamina. We are so happy to have found Scott.”

About: Animals have always brought me a lot of joy. I grew up with and have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, birds, horses, reptiles, and amphibians, so I am well acquainted with many types of creatures! I have cared for newborn kittens, as well as senior dogs and cats. Due to my background as a veterinary technician and wildlife caretaker, I am very comfortable with animals who require medical care or have higher needs in general. I am familiar with giving medications, shots, cleaning and grooming, and overall behavior indicators of well-being. I also assisted in surgeries, where I prepped the supplies, took vitals, and monitored the pet's health while under anesthesia. While I hope no family has to endure the hardship that comes with an ill or elderly pet, it does happen. Whether you are planning a trip away or just need some assistance, I would be happy to care for your fur baby and hope to meet them soon. I currently have a cat and three chickens who I love a lot. So unfortunately, I cannot board any pets at my home. I have a remote job, so am flexible with home stays, walks, feeding schedules, and anything else to keep your friend happy. I always first consider the pets' and my safety. In my own home, I have spent the last 4 years helping my cat overcome her traumatic past through patience and routine. I give her lots of treats and mental stimulation, such as finding new items for her to bat around and sit on. We also have chickens, which have a fully fenced backyard so they can roam. I also love spoiling them with watermelon, apples, and mealworms!
