Dog Walking Carmichael

About: Bare minimum care for animals is not accepted in my house. I only offer the absolute best I can give for every furry friend. I've owned and cared for almost every category of critter you can come up with (Birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, cats, dogs, etc.!) Almost all my passions revolve around animals and always have, I spend most of my time helping people with their own pets when I'm not caring for mine. I also am starting out in dog training and have two years experience with a few types of canine training. My own dog is an exceptionally trained GSD that's helped this journey. Along with that, I have been helping with rehabilitating and releasing wild animals in need for almost three years. I am very passionate about rescues and almost all my animals are rescued by either shelters, brought to me, or found by me. I hope to build a career in helping people and their animals in every way I possibly can ❤ I'm currently gaining experience for dog training and I help with wild animal rehabilitation along with shelter work. I'm free most days of the week since I'm able to choose my working hours. For drop in visits I follow pet owner instructions exactly to ensure every pet has their needs met. I offer the most exceptional care that I possibly can for each animal and am capable of caring for just about any pet. Senior, challenged, puppy, untrained, none are challenging for me. 💕

About: I’ve had many, many pets over the years. Dogs, cats, birds. After our daughters were grown and our last cat passed on we decided to be pet free for a while. While there are advantages to not having animals (being able to leave home without the worry), I miss them and thought this might be a way to fill the pet void. I am retired and so I am free to feed, walk and play with your cats and/or dogs. I look forward to meeting them. I am not taking care of pets in my home at this time but happy to come to your home and spend time, feed and walk your pets.

About: I've always loved dogs growing up and learned to train them since I also have smart and energetic dogs who need playtime, socialization, love, and discipline. I just quit my corporate job so I have a lot of time and flexibility to play with your dog, take them to the park, go for a walk, or simply keep them company. I can drive to your house for visits, walks, or take them to the park. I can also take them to my place for boarding or playtime. I have a huge fenced backyard and a fenced pool as well if you'd like your dog to swim, we can arrange for this as well. I have 2 friendly dogs who will also keep your dog company.

About: I have been around dogs since childhood and have many years of hands-on experience caring for them. I truly love animals and understand how important patience, attention, and responsibility are. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and will always treat your pet with the same care and kindness I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for dog walks throughout the week. I can arrange my availability around scheduled bookings and will always make sure I have enough time to give each dog my full attention. Safety, trust & environment: Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. During walks, I will always follow the owner’s instructions, keep dogs securely leashed, pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings, and make sure they receive a safe, enjoyable, and caring walk.

“David did a great job walking Penny. She seemed very happy and comfortable with him and I really appreciated the photos from each walk. Will definitely use again!”

About: I have had dogs (and cats) my entire life. Trained, love and traveled across the US with my animals in tow with me. We currently have two dogs, Ozzy & Bear. I am retired and love to garden, travel and play with our dogs! We moved back to the Sacramento Area recently and would like to do something fun and thought pet sitting would fit perfect. No pet sitting at our house. Animals need to be in their own environment where it is safe and they are comfortable with their own toys & bed.

About: I have cared for and owned many kinds of cats & dogs throughout the years. I've had purebreds and mixed breeds, rescues and ferals even special needs. I’ve clipped nails, given pills and even shots when needed. I love all cats and dogs. . I am retired so I can easily schedule your pet into my daily routine. I'm available Monday through Sunday, whenever you have a need for me.. I will come to your home and care for your pets needs while you're away. I will clean in and around litter boxes and walk your dog. I’ll feed, water and give all of your fur babies love.

“Hillary was fantastic! Very nice and sweet. Definitely a people and animal person. Stayed and talked with her after for awhile. Very down to earth. I will be using her again!”

About: I am a lifelong dog owner and animal lover with well over 10 years of experience with dog care outside of my pets, including advanced training for jobs, special needs care, and dog behavioral studies. I also have experience with birds, rodents, and reptiles with much love for all. I am known for getting anxious dogs to like me, even those that dislike men. I am happy to give any animal as much space or as much love as they need. I have almost totally open availability, with exception for Tues/Wed evenings and midday Saturdays - But these can be adjusted as needed on request. Let's work out a schedule that works for you! I care for fragile animals such as birds, elderly dogs/cats, and rodents with great care for their varied needs. As an experienced housesitter of many years, I am committed to respecting the space of others and will typically leave a space cleaner than I found it.

About: Ever since childhood, I have always been surrounded by pets, from big animals, to cats and dogs. I can do everything from walks in the park to giving them baths. proper pet care is something important for your pets well being Currently I am enrolled in college at Sacramento State, my summer classes are online so there is time to check on your animals between my classes. How I care for my dog Is that she gets feed once in the morning and once at night. when I have time before class, excluding Monday and Wednesday this semester, I take my pup on at least a 20 min walk. She spends most her time outside, but sleeps inside at night.

About: 🐾 My Pet Care Experience I’ve had a dog by my side for my entire life until recently, so caring for dogs has always been a natural and important part of my life. Over the years, I’ve experienced the day-to-day responsibilities that come with being a dog owner—from feeding and walks to playtime, exercise, grooming, medications, and simply recognizing when a dog needs some extra attention or reassurance. Having dogs for so many years has taught me that every dog has their own personality, habits, and needs. Some are energetic and ready to play, while others are happiest getting some attention and curling up nearby. I’m comfortable adapting to each dog and following the routine their family has established. Most importantly, I understand that leaving your dog with someone else requires trust. I will treat your dog with the same patience, kindness, and care that I’ve given my own dogs throughout my life. My Availability Retirement gives me a very flexible schedule, which means I can devote plenty of time to your dog rather than trying to fit pet care around a full-time job. I’m generally available throughout the week and can often accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m happy to discuss your specific needs and find a schedule that works well for both you and your pup. I also understand that plans can change, so communication is important. If you have a specific schedule or timing requirement, just let me know when you reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate it. My goal is simple: **you enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention.** ❤️🐶 🛡️ Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, leash requirements, crate time, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable and secure. I also pay close attention to doors, gates, crates, and other potential escape risks. I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing in the backyard, or relaxing at home, I provide attentive and supervised care. If I care for your dog in your home, I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine. I’ll keep things clean and secure and leave your home just as I found it. Most importantly, I believe trust is earned. I’ll communicate with you, keep you updated, and make sure you feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands. 🐾❤️

“Madeline is great with the dogs. She’s flexible with my schedule and is going to make my life easier. Thanks again!”

About: I am a long-time animal lover, animal advocate, and animal welfare professional. I've had animals all my life, have volunteered for numerous animal groups, and have worked for a national animal welfare organization for the past 20 years. I have fostered neonatal kittens and have had several special-needs cats in my lifetime. I know how to administer sub Q fluids, give insulin injections, trim nails, and more. While I am a cat owner, I love dogs equally and will give your dog the love and care he/she'd receive in your own home. I’d love the opportunity to give you peace of mind that your pet is well cared for while you’re out of town. Thank you for considering me! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate most pet care needs. I am the mom to a teenage son, so I have lots of time on my hands and I’d love to spend my time giving your pet the love and care they deserve. I know a lot of people have specific instructions on how to care for their pet while they’re away, I adhere to all requests and rules, and make sure there’s lots of time for play and snuggles too.

About: I have had the privilege of caring for and loving my border collie best friend, Cody, for 15 years now! I recently graduated from the University of San Diego and reside in Carmichael. I know how hard it is to leave your best friend behind when you have other obligations. As a walker and sitter, I will be able to give all my love and support to your best friend when you are not available. If you need any special accommodations for your pet, please let me know and I would be delighted to talk with you and set extra time aside to make sure you and your pet are comfortable and happy! I am flexible with my schedule! I can often do drop ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekend without much advanced notice. I accept same day requests. :) My dog, a senior border collie, lives indoors but loves to run outside and chase the ball. He is still highly energetic but prone to injury, so I understand the balance needed to keep both young and senior dogs healthy and happy.

“We felt safe leaving our pets with Rachel. She is a good communicator and did a good job sending daily updates and pictures. Rachel went above and beyond for our pets. Would 100% book again.”

About: 💚 Moving to San Diego the weekend of July 31, 2026 💚 I have grown up with dogs and started my experience taking care of them early on. As I got older I gained more and more experience. I have a genuine love for all animals and am a natural caretaker. I was a CNA (Certified Nurse's Assistant) Med Tech, and Caregiver in Geriatric Care for 11 years (prior to that I was a Lifeguard for 4 years).. I have an AA Degree in Administration of Justice and an AA in Behaviorial & Social Sciences. I am about to start the BA Program for Administration of Justice. I currently own two Tuxedo Twin kitties named Oliver and Olivia and I absolutely love them both. I look forward to getting to know both you and your pet. I have a flexible schedule as right now I am currently taking my Paralegal Online (with only a few assignments to finish up). Have a wonderful day! Sunday: Available (anytime). Monday: Available (anytime). Tuesday: Available (anytime). Wednesday: Available (anytime). Thursday: Available (anytime). Friday: Available (anytime). Saturday: Available (anytime). My schedule is flexible, right now my program is online only. My two kitties are indoor only and I am currently waiting for their hardnesses to come in so we can switch from their training collars to hardnesses. Also, working on GPS/ tracking related options (for safety). Outside of that my kitties are fed twice a day, given 1 treatstick (each), and two different flavors in their bowls. I always have fresh dry food and water available to them. I stick to procelian bowls on a mat for their dry food and water so that I am able to easily change it often. I change their water every other day (they get a water additive put into the water, helps protect their teeth and gums). The dry food I change once per week, each time I change the bowl.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I love playing with them, taking care of them, giving them love, and any other care they need. I’m currently a stay at home mom, I just had my first baby a couple months ago who is not yet crawling or walking. So I’m available throughout the week and weekend. I have a fenced yard with space for pets to run around and get some air. I do have a 3 month old kitten but I have a lot of space in my house and if your pet doesn’t get along with cats I am able to section off my kitty to one side of the house during your furry friend’s stay here.

About: What sets me aside from the rest I treat my animals like family I love animals and it always shows through the way I care for them I have yet to meet an animal that didn't love me I currently have a lot of down time for work so this is the perfect job for me and it's something that doesn't feel like work Walks movies talks good food hydration I will make sure I complete everything that maybe on the clients list and more I won't do anything that is not allowed

About: I’ve been a pet owner/carer since, well, birth. Growing up in a rural setting, I cared for dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, sheep, and even fostered a hawk! Friends and family have long called me the baby and dog whisperer, because not only do they gravitate to me, I’m a pro at getting them to rest and relax. I’m currently a dog mom to Bonny, the chillest 13-year old terrier/chihuahua mix that’s ever existed. 🐶 I’ve also owned highly reactive dogs and am skilled at keeping them safe and feeling secure. A former (human) first aid/CPR trainer, I’m currently enrolled to receive my pet first aid/CPR certification. **PLEASE NOTE: Bonny, will *always* be present during boarding and will need to accompany me for housesitting stays. She gets along well with (and mostly ignores) other dogs and cats, but we need to ensure it’s a good fit for all the fur kids! For this reason, I cannot book requests without a prior meet and greet. For drop-ins or walks, let’s chat about whether or not your pup or cat would enjoy her company.** Thanks for your ongoing support. We can’t wait to meet you and your fur kids! As a brand and marketing consultant, I work from home and can maintain a flexible schedule that meets your and your pet’s needs. I prefer walking dogs during cool morning or evening hours for their own health considerations. If walking during the heat of the day, I do require pet owners to provide their pet with safety shoes or have access to a non-concrete or asphalt walking route. When boarding or pet-sitting in your home, your pet will have the company of my 13-year old female dog, Bonny, who is non-reactive to dogs and cats. For daily walks, your pet will be alone with me, unless we’ve discussed and agreed that having Bonny walk with them is your preference.
