Dog Walking Cannon

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who recently moved to the area after spending the last 24 years in Washington state. With all the kids off to college, I’m now enjoying being a stay-at-home dog and cat mom and would love to use my extra time to help other pet parents feel confident that their animals are happy, loved, and cared for while they’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I grew up on a farm surrounded by a variety of animals. Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. After years of working in a busy career, I especially appreciate having the time to slow down and enjoy the companionship of animals. I’d love to help dogs get some exercise, attention, and affection during the day so they aren’t stuck at home alone for hours while their families are at work. In the past we used this service to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were at work. It was so valuable for not only to our animals, but to us Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some playtime and companionship, or you need someone dependable to check in on your pets, I’m happy to help. My background in healthcare has also taught me to be responsible, attentive to details, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’d be happy to meet you and your pets beforehand so we can make sure we’re a great fit! Your pets may be your babies, but I’ll treat them like they’re mine. 🐾❤️ I am currently staying home and staying active with my standard poodle, Eevee and my cat, Moo. I have worked in surgery for close to 30 years and now that I’m home full time, I want to fill my time with things I love and make me happy. I have a fully fenced backyard with a swimming pool. I do have one standard poodle, who is super friendly and ball obsessed. I do have one cat who is a rescue from a hoarding situation and loves to play with dogs.We have a large home with all kids off to college. Animals sleep with us.

“Shawna is such an amazing dog walker! I am very particular on who is around/handles my dog and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe and happy! It’s such a huge piece of mind knowing that he’s is getting exercise while I’m at work. She always leaves the best reports for me to read after their walks 😊 Thank you Shawna for loving my dog as much as I do!”

“Loretta is a dream! She has been with us through my first dog who passed, and a new puppy, and when she moved away my heart was totally broken. We had some fill-in sitters but none that really lived up to the Loretta standard! I was so happy to learn that she recently moved back to the local area, and she has now taken her place back into our daily life here! She gives an amazing daily update, sends lots of pics, and truly cares about our furry family members. She even notes when things are off around the house and will send me an update as needed. We could not be happier with her care!”

About: Hi, I’m currently an owner or two dogs - King Charles Cavalier and Pug. Dogs were in my life since the day I was born. I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs! Walking, playing, visiting, meeting your beautiful friend! In the near future I will offer boarding. I can take care of any dog, I assisted two puppy deliveries, raised two litters of dogs, trained puppies and helped senior dogs that needed extra attention.

“Thank you so much for all your help! Guinny is always happier after your walks together, and I love the photos you send. It's always good to have help nearby on my long days in the field.”

About: I have experience caring for high-energy and working breeds, including dogs that need structure, exercise, and calm guidance while away from home. I focus on creating a safe, balanced environment with enrichment, routine, and personalized care for each dog. I’m comfortable with crate routines, leash handling, impulse control work, and helping dogs settle calmly into a new environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a structured and active lifestyle, which allows me to provide consistent walks, exercise, and attentive supervision throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, and I prioritize keeping dogs on a steady routine that mirrors what they’re used to at home. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or a balanced mix of both, I build their care into my schedule — not around it. Because I work from a stable home environment near Travis AFB, I’m able to provide reliable availability, consistent potty breaks, structured activity, and regular updates. Your dog’s safety, routine, and well-being are never an afterthought — they’re part of the plan. Dogs in my home are cared for in a calm, structured environment designed to help them feel safe and settled. I keep routines consistent with regular potty breaks, structured walks, mental stimulation, and purposeful play. Dogs are never left without supervision for extended periods, and I monitor energy levels to ensure they’re comfortable — whether they need exercise or quiet rest.

“Real life safer when work gets busy and Blake loves him already! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I have nearly 10 years of experience primarily caring for dogs, ranging from Maltese to Malamutes – no dog is too big or too small to receive my love. My passion involves playing, cuddling, and providing ample affection to every pet I meet. Additionally, I've successfully trained several headstrong pets, achieving remarkable results. If your pet needs training or positive exposure therapy, I'm here to help.

My pets are on a twice a day feeding regiments, they get fed at 8:30-9am and then 6-6:30 pm. I follow however the client instructs me on how to feed them, I don’t mind just kibble or toppers beyond toppers to get them fed.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with dogs in my home. For the past 8 years, I’ve also had a cat who has taught me so much about patience, care, and the unique bond we share with our pets.

About: Hi there! I’m Kiet! A passionate and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m especially skilled with pets who need a little extra care. Both of my cats require a special medical diet, so I’m very comfortable preparing and following precise feeding instructions. I also have experience with anxious animals, my cat Robin is quite shy and sensitive, so I understand the importance of creating a calm and reassuring environment. Whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, or simply providing companionship, I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I’ve recently moved back home and currently have open availability! I’m more than happy to take care of your companion for extended period. Thank you! At the moment I am not taking any care from my own home as I share a house with roommates. Thank you for your understanding!

“We had been let down by someone to take Hamz for a walk when I started my new job, we contacted Darlene and after a little chat we met up so Hamz could meet her and we could go over his specific medical issues. Hammy fell quick and hard for the wonderful Darlene and just a couple of days later she dropped in and took our baby boy for his lunch time walk, while seeing to his medical needs ahead of his operation. Hammy went for his operation on the Friday and Darlene asked to be updated over the weekend and rejoiced with us when he was doing so well. Darlene has been a wonderful addition to Hammys life and my husband and I can not thank her enough for the piece of mind she has given us. Thank you so much, you truly have made a wonderful difference to our lives.”

About: I have years of animal shelter experience, so I have been trained to interact with animals of all sorts of temperaments. I've been an animal love my whole life and am usually the first person my friends think to call when they go out of town to care for their furry children (: I've had at least 1 dog in my life from the time I was 8- so my daily routine has always consisted of including a little pal to care for and spend quality time with. I treat any animal under my care the way they should be treated- like a family member who requires belly rubs, treats, and high pitched conversation as if their life depends on it (; In all seriousness I treat all animals with all the TLC they deserve.

About: Growing up, my family had a menagerie of pets. In addition to cats and dogs, we had everything from rabbits, chickens, horses, birds, both salt water and fresh water fish. Today, I keep a few species of reptiles and occasionally help my grandma with our two family horses. Looking forward to getting in my cat/dog time in with your pet! I'm widely available mon-fri during the days when most people are at work. While I'm less available on weekends, I am occasionally available on Saturdays. I like to meet animals where they're at and work from there. Whether that means going slow on walks or going to the park to run, is up to the dog. For cats, everything is on their terms also, it just looks different.

About: Hello my name is Aléna, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was little. Animals are so amazing to me and I love their personality’s. Looking forward to meeting you pet. My availability is really open, don’t have any dogs of my own, but grew up with them. I miss the connection. So I thought, I would put myself out there, to help service them. In my home I care for my cat Bella by giving her lots of love and making sure to keep her litter box cleaned and let her have her outside time around the yard. My cat Toby, I give him treats and try to teach him some tricks. Give lots of attention and time to play with his toys. He’s a little monster but I love him. Having a clean environment is not only necessary for your animals but yourself. I do the litter box multiple times a week.

“Always on time. Great with my dog. Super polite. If he notices anything different with my dog he brings it up. I strongly encourage him to walk your dog. I’m picky and I only use people I feel comfortable and confident with. Your furry pets will love him . He’s a 5 star dog walker”

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.
