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 have volunteer experience at an animal shelter, so I have experience working with and caring for dogs, cats, and even rabbits! I have also taken a couple dog handling classes through the shelter. I have owned dogs all my life and have trained a few of them as youngsters in basic commands (sit, stay, come, down, etc). I am also a horse girl and thus have pretty impressive upper arm strength for my size, so I can handle your large dog that pulls on walks. I am transitioning from a part time job to full time pet care with Rover so I have full flexibility and am able to zip over and give your pet some TLC whenever I'm needed. I have a dog of my own so I also understand and can provide what a pet needs in a typical day. In my house, pets are treated like family. From the moment I enter your home or meet your pet, it becomes part of my family too and I will care for it as such. I believe compassion, patience, and a good sense of humor are essential to good pet care regardless of whether you're inside or outside the home. An environment of fun, love, and trust will be created when I care for your pet and I'm sure a great bond will form whether I meet that pet one time or 30 times.

About: Mom, animal-lover, and detail-oriented caregiver offering safe, loving pet care. Your pets are treated like family and given care. I work from home, so the animals will not be alone. Please note I have a Kindergartener so animals *must* be kid friendly. No aggressive breeds (even if a mix), or history of biting. your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—not long stretches alone. I also have a kindergartner who absolutely loves animals and enjoys having a gentle buddy to play with. We take daily walks to break up our day, so your pet will get regular movement, fresh air, and lots of love in between. Pets in my care are treated like part of the family. We have a large, fully fenced backyard perfect for safe outdoor play, exploring, and burning off energy. Since I work from home, pets get plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day—plus lots of playtime, cuddles, and regular breaks to keep them happy and engaged. 🐾

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.

About: Growing up with dogs, I have provided lifelong care for them from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me deep experience in their unique needs. I am fully capable of administering medications, and I am highly diligent about following specific feeding and exercise schedules. My background ensures I provide consistent, reliable, and compassionate care for your pet, treating them with the same love and attention I have dedicated to my own dogs throughout my years of experience. I'm currently working a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of availability to give your pets my undivided attention! I am available on weekends and weekdays. For services like dog walking or drop-in visits at the client's home, I provide attentive and reliable care. I focus on maintaining the pet's routine, ensuring they get exercise, and providing companionship. I'm skilled at adapting to different pet personalities and environments, always prioritizing their safety and happiness during our time together.

About: Hello! I specialize in caring for cats and big dogs, but I love all animals. I especially love cuddly and low energy pets. I’ve taken care of neighbors’ pets for a few years and now would like to expand my pet sitting services. I currently have two cats and have grown up with dogs as well. I’m a full time college student, currently attending night classes Monday-Wednesday. I’m available for walks and drop-ins in the morning and early afternoon on these days. Scheduling overnights on these days depend on how frequently your pets need check ins. Thursday-Sunday I’m available all day to give your pets the attention they need! Your pet’s happiness and safety is my top priority. I take the time to get to know your pets and understand what they need from my visit, whether it’s high energy playtime or cuddles and belly rubs.

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.

About: August Special: 20% off regular fees! Take a vacation!! Now's the time! My house – Where your dog gets the VIP treatment and motivational speeches they didn’t know they needed. Let’s be honest—dogs are the best kind of people, and I’m just here running their all-inclusive resort. Whether your pup is a professional couch potato or a backyard explorer plotting their next squirrel summit, I love meeting dogs with big personalities and even bigger snack expectations. Around here, no two days—or dogs—are ever the same. And yes, that’s exactly as chaotic as it sounds! My own personal house manager, Kodi—a 25-pound Pomeranian/Husky combo (yes, you read that right, a Pomsky with the fluff of a cloud and the soul of a philosopher)—would love to have a playmate. He’s mostly here to inspect guest luggage for contraband treats and approve new friendships. I have a soft spot for senior pups—because let’s face it, they’ve seen some things and have no time for nonsense. My Pomeranians Tilly and Goldie, and Gracie, a cattle dog, and Jenny lived long, fabulous lives (more than 15 years!) and were full-time celebrity mascots at the magazine I worked at. Basically, they were the Oprah and Barbara Walters of the dog world—total pros at working a room and scoring snacks. As a retired chiropractor with fancy degrees in nutrition and herbal medicine, I’m basically the dog version of a wellness spa director. Think massages, joint support with diatomaceous earth and fish oil, and the occasional pep talk about why it’s okay to bark at the mailman just a little less. My backyard boasts a majestic 100-year-old tree, perfect for shade lounging and dramatic squirrel-watching. But full disclosure—after a rain, the backyard goes from “lush forest floor” to “mud wrestling championship.” Don’t worry, post-adventure towel-dry snuggles are included at no extra charge! Need a chauffeur? I’m happy to take your pup for car rides, neighborhood strolls, and even field trips to the mountains or American River Park for that “I just found my inner wolf” moment. Evenings include my signature VIP tuck-in service with a soft “goodnight,” a cozy blanket, and if required, me whispering motivational affirmations like “You ARE a good boy, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” Got a bedtime routine? Hit me with it—I’m fully trained in ritualistic stuffed animal placement and optimal blanket fluffing. While my resort has an open-door vibe, I do draw the line at dogs with severe separation anxiety or known aggression issues. But hey, if you’re working through those, I’m happy to consult—every great comeback story starts somewhere! Now Booking: Home-Cooked Doggy Gourmet! Look, some dogs have better diets than I do—and honestly, I respect that. I’m currently working toward my Pet Nutritionist certificate, and I offer home-cooked meals (available for an additional charge) for dogs who prefer their cuisine like their lifestyle: elevated and extra. These meals are especially great for older dogs and those with arthritis—prepared with love, top-notch ingredients, and absolutely no judgment if they demand dinner plated like a five-star entrée. One senior guest came in barely able to walk and left on day five ready for a dance-off. Coincidence? Or was it my gourmet cooking and endless positive reinforcement? You decide. What My VIP Guests Are Saying… 🐾 “I arrived wobbly, but after five days of gourmet meals and pep talks, I’m basically training for the Olympics now.” – Buster, Age 12, Retired Couch Commander (Buster was having difficulty walking and keeping himself stable but regained his youthful suave.) 🐾 “She tucked me in, called me a good boy, and told me I mattered. I'd rate my experience a 12/10 and would recommend. Left feeling emotionally validated and one pound fluffier.” – Sir Fluffy, Age 7, Aspiring Influencer Pet care is what I do now and I do it well. I am also a freelance writer and love having dogs around to do things with. I treat them like family, and like I've known them my whole life. I care for pets in my home and outside my home as if they are my family. Sometimes they have emotional issues so I counsel them. They seem to understand. I teach them new things and have a tunnel they can run through in my backyard.

About: I grew up taking care of dogs and can't remember a time where they weren't apart of my life. I've taken care of my own pets, helped out with taking care of family and friends' pets while they were away. Everything from feeding to walking and bathing. I'm comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds. I'm currently working from home during the week. I have a flexible schedule during the week and open weekends. I'm available for walking in the afternoons and evenings. I currently have no pets and a flexible schedule, so I can assist with walking your pets or caring for them in your home, where they already are comfortable.

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. 🐾❤️

“Carmen did a great job walking my pup! She sent me lots of photos and kept me updated throughout the walk. She was very communicative and took great care of my pup. Thank you so much!”

About: I’m generally great with animals and I’ve been a cat mom for 3 years now so I’m quite good at making sure a pet is taken care of. I go the extra mile. And follow directions pretty well. Just finished pet CPR training. I’m relatively flexible but prefer to work in the morning because my other job is at night. Totally free Sundays. I have class Thursday evenings right now and I’m usually at the gun range Saturdays but all other days of the week, I’m flexible. I do a bit of traveling but I will block off those days or I’ll let you know if I’m not available on your requested days. Just let me know ahead of time and I’ll let you know of if I can accommodate your request. I prefer texting via the app as much as possible. I make sure to respect your cat’s space and that their needs are met. I feed pets as instructed. Give treats as necessary. Make sure they have adequate water.

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.

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 have been dog & house sitting for over 10 years and absolutely love pets (including cats!). I do small business accounting and work for myself, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be around for morning and afternoon walks, as well as spend more time at home with the furry buddies. I'm all about working with pet parents on their commands and making sure I use commands the dogs understand and try to encourage good behavior. For (overnight) house sitting, I'm available a couple times per month. For dog walking and pet sitting drop-ins, I'm available three to five times per week (2x/day). I don't currently have any pets of my own, so I really enjoy spending time with animals and being a pet Auntie!

“Excellent. On time. Thank you”
