Dog Walkers in Chianti, CA

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with a lovable dog named Marley (in my profile picture). At just 10 years old, I started walking dogs around my neighborhood, and that grew into a passion for pet care. While I’ve mostly catsat over the years, I’ve also had the unique experience of snakesitting! Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I love all animals and treat every pet like my own. My schedule is currently open and will be until this upcoming school year. My other passion is working with children and i’m planning to be a substitute teacher starting this fall! I grew up with the notion “leave the place better than you found it.” I’m very aware of leaving a clients home nice and clean. I’m not afraid of picking up pet messes and i’m very good at putting things back where I found them. I pay close attention to care instructions as I believe it’s important to keep a pet on their familiar schedule.

I love to play fetch with dogs & take them for nice long walks/hikes. I am a work from home mom so I have great flexibility in my schedule. I am available for overnights, check ins, walks, & can have 2 well behaved dogs in our home. I am available to bring in trash cans, water plants, bring in mail, pick up dog poop, administer medicine & care for other pets in your home. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility in my day to care for animals. We have plenty of space in our home and can easily accommodate 2 well behaved dogs. I have a fenced yard and live near a great regional park that I love to take dogs out on walks to. I have a teen and tween daughter who also love animals and especially like to play and cuddle with.

I have a few trips planned this summer but other than that I am free Monday-Saturday until September. I love playing with animals taking them on walks, playing with toys and teaching them tricks if I can. I consider myself an athletic person so I mostly would spend my time taking the animal on walks if I can.

About: At my youngest age, I balanced on the lines of wanting to be a veterinarian or a marine biologist. My passion for animals and other life forms on this planet fuels my love and enjoyment of spending time with the pets I have and had in the past, along with new furry friends to meet. Currently working a flexible internship with a good amount of free time. Happy to fill it walking doggos, checking in on any furry friend, and love pet sitting over night. Safe and quiet home environment with a private backyard and lots of windows to catch sun rays. Play space and plenty of toys to choose from. I am also a person who enjoys talking to animals so I will consistently talk to them!

About: I am a responsible and experienced dog and cat sitter. As an animal lover my entire life, I gain immense joy and pleasure from interacting and caring for dogs, as well as cats. I've been a volunteer at the Sonoma Humane Society for over 10 years and I have cared for all types and breeds. Growing up we had labs, golden retrievers and terriers in our household. I'm exceptionally good at playing with and entertaining animals. Caring for, and attending to their unique and particular needs is important to me. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and respectful of both animals and the owner's property. I'm a non-smoker and I always leave my clients' homes in the condition I find it or better! I would love to meet and take care of new canine or feline friends. I am an artist/illustrator who works from home so I can devote ample time and attention to the animals I'm caring for. I can adapt my work around their schedules and I'm willing and able to be at home with them a great deal of the time. My pet-sitting for clients involves maintaining the routines of the animals, following instructions and giving them lots of play-time, love and attention. Every animal has unique needs and I give the appropriate cared required. I try to ensure that each pet is comfortable and happy. I keep my clients' homes neat and clean and I treat their property and pets with respect. I can also perform miscellaneous tasks like gathering the mail and watering plants, etc., if requested.

About: I have a lot of experience with pet sitting. Not only have I owned dogs for over 20 years; but I have also watched my friends, families, and coworker's pets. My favorite thing about cats and dogs is how innocent they are, how silly they get when excited or happy, and how as they grow up they start to pick up personality traits from their owners. I will ensure your pet's safety while you are away and give my all to making them happy. I feel that I am the best candidate for both dog and cat sitting due to my experience and my ability to be patient, caring, and kind. I look forward to working with you in the near future. My day job is hybrid so I am able to plan my schedule accordingly. Pet sitting does not affect my day to day schedule and I look forward to meeting new fur babies. My pets are fed on a schedule to ensure their diets are regular. I always make sure that the floor is swept and vacuumed so that they don't pick anything up from the floor. I clean their food and water bowl daily and wash my dogs paws once they come in from walking on the street.

About: Experienced with all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I provide calm, attentive care, stick to routines, and handle meds or special needs confidently. Pet care is currently my top priority at this time, allowing me to be able to focus on your pet and their specific needs every single day. In clients' homes, I follow their pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and meds as needed. I keep the space tidy and pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have owned and operated 2 dog boarding and daycare centers. I am a retired nurse waiting for grandbabies to come along.... Until then, I'm happiest outside walking/hiking/running with dogs. I'm available Monday through Friday for walking or drop ins. I am not available on weekends or major holidays and I don't provide any overnight services. I am happy to abide by whatever wishes you have for your dog(s). If you prefer them crated when I leave, I'll make sure they are comfortably crated. If you need them fed, let me know how much to feed. I'll always refill water dishes with fresh water.

“Lynette did a great job walking and playing with my pup. She was very communicative and sent photos! I felt very safe leaving Arlo in her care.”

About: From the time I was little, I have always had a sweet pet at home to take care of and spend time with-I believe that any pet can be a lifelong friend and provide emotional support in many ways! I have experience with puppies, working/service dogs, older dogs, and animals that need extra care. As a Healdsburg local, I am here to relieve the stress of travel and being away from your fur-babies. At home, I have a ragdoll named Lazuli who has been my loyal companion through my studies- he followed me back from a hike and the rest is history! If you are looking for a flexible and out-of-the-box thinker to take care of your pet, I am always here! I'm currently building my own business where working from home is my mainstay on a daily basis-with this, I always have a flexible schedule that allows for short notice bookings and multiple drop-in visits on a daily visit if need be! Each and every client I serve has different needs and I am here to tailor your pet's experience to what it is used to. This custom experience will allow me to learn about what makes your pup/kitty tick and how to make the best out of their time being away from you!

About: I volunteered at Canine Companions as a vet tech for 20 years. Volunteered at Green Dog Rescue Project for 3 years. Had my own cat rescue. I work part time with flexible hours. I have a farm with plenty of fenced open space for dogs to run. All dogs will spend hours with me each day. I have large fenced areas for dogs to run about during the day. The dogs will have quiet rooms to spend the night in. Cats will have their own rooms to roam about.

“My husband and I (and of course Prince, our dog) think Stephan is great. He has training experience with dogs which is a definite plus and why we chose him for the job. We'll definitely be calling on Stephen in the future and booking him for days when we're not able to walk Prince ourselves. We also love the fact that Stephan has experience with doggy daycare, as we'd like to see Prince socialize more and his being with dog play mates offers a well rounded experience. Prince really like him. Dogs are good indicators of people and he thinks Stephen is a winner, so do we. We'll be booking again in a few weeks and are very pleased with Prince coming home thoroughly satisfied from a long walk. Thanks Rover!”

About: Ive been a caregiver my whole life because I was raised with a younger sister. I’m currently a college student at UC Merced and I also currently work a part time job so scheduling would generally work best if you just contact me.

I cannot do boarding, but I am happy to help with any other needs your pups may have! I will shower the pets with attention and love while balancing respecting the pets privacy.
