Dog Walking Colton

About: My name is Alexandria, or Alex. I currently work part time at an animal hospital as a vet assistant. In the past I have worked for the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. I am a HUGE animal lover and would love to spend more time walking/pet sitting animals. I also have my license and a car. I enjoy spending time outdoors and am a natural resources + forestry graduate so I have rain gear and would love to walk your dog rain or shine! Growing up, I've always had dogs, cats, chickens and fish! I dog/house sit for all of my family members and their friends. Whether you're looking for someone to cuddle up with your dogs or someone to take them hiking, running or to the dog park, I am more than happy to! Why I love dog sitting I love dogs and being outside. I've had experience with all dog breeds. I have also had experience with different age groups, from puppies to seniors. I have experience administering medication by mouth or subcutaneously. I can also take care of household chores, mail, garbage, plants, pool, hot tub, etc. I am able to board dogs that aren't fixed at my house. I work two days during the week (9-10 hours a day) but for sure have weekends and holidays off to fully take care of your pet(s). I live on 10 acres in Colton, so I have a great area for your dog to run around. The property is mostly fenced, but a dog that likes to run off can easily escape if they wanted to. I don't let dogs outside unsupervised though, especially after dark.

“Alyssa did a fantastic job with my needy puppy! I highly recommend her and I would absolutely book her again. She sent photos and messages to update me and even called once when my puppy wasn’t feeling well.”

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience as a dog walker, house sitter, and cat sanctuary caregiver, and I genuinely love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I take pride in being attentive to the little details and making sure each pet’s individual needs and routines are cared for. I love playing with dogs, going on walks, and spending time with all kinds of animals. After working at a cat sanctuary for a year, I have a special place in my heart for cats and plenty of experience caring for them with patience and love. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own! I am a full time student online earning my degree in Biology. So, I have plenty of time to take care of your baby. I am available weekends and weekdays to give your baby plenty of love and care. I provide care in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, walks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the client’s home and take pride in keeping everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 4 years. I’d love to spoil your pup! I have an extra crate if needed and plenty of toys from my dogs they can use. I work from home full time so I am available almost every day of the week. I am free to take them out too as needed. I have a large yard for them to potty in and a front yard for play time. I have one dog at home that loves to play and is so friendly. I love having animals in my home & id love to watch yours!

“What an awesome lady!! Very communicative, kind and patient! My dog can be super intense, but Sydney has been such a delight and is so so sweet to her:)”

About: I have a passion for animals, when they are put in my care while your away or at work, they come first! I grew up with dogs and have a passion for them, I have officially worked with dogs as a profession for 6 years now. I allow dogs on my bed and couches however I continue whatever training you do for your dog while they are with me. You can count on the fact that I will not go against what you allow your dog to do and not do when there with me. I continue the care and training you do at home, consistency is so important. I do have a 2year old daughter, she is very good with animals, she does not treat them poorly & she is surprisingly gentle with my extended families dogs. I love spoiling dogs and taking them for drives (unless the dog is like my familys dog and disliles car rides). I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your animal. My schedule is all over so I will look at each request for my services carefully and only accept when best for my family and yours. My routine and life is kept simple with having a 2year old daughter and she has a love for animals like her mamma which is what prompted me to start back up in working with dogs. I have a fenced yard, no pets of my own however am able to house dogs. I essentially do what the owner requests, the care depends on each individual family. Everyone trains there dog differently, in regards to furniture, treats and walking. Some owners are more strict and I stick to what the family wants with caring for there pet.

About: I have done overnight sitting and care for different families and animals for over 6 years. I stay with the animal in your home and do feedings, play time and anything else needed. 😊 I work from home part time and outside of the house part time as well. I can accommodate most needs and what is best needed for the situation! I want the best peace of mind for you as owners to know that your animals are safe and being taken care of in the best way! I always provide what is needed for each individual animal and the highest care. I follow instructions given and provide ample communication and check in’s for the owners to provide peace of mind.

“Shiying has been excellent with our two dogs on their daily walks! She’s quick to respond and follows the instructions we’ve left for the dogs perfectly. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!”

“Jadon did an incredible job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. He kept me well informed with updates on their walks, how they were interacting, and even dogs they met in my building. I always worry about my 10 year old pup while I am gone, but with Jadon’s pictures and feedback, this made for a memorable experience. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a friendly, great with dogs walker. I will happily be booking him again knowing how well he takes care of dogs and his thoroughness with communicating. Thanks again!”

About: I grew up with a dog, and have always lived with either a dog or cat as an adult. My heart just fills with joy when I am around all four legged friends. I currently work full time as a pediatric medical assistant, but would be happy to come by after work to take care of any sweet dog or cat.

I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From playing at the park or a long hike to a specific medication schedule, i’m here for all their needs :) I’m currently running a Puppies & Painting studio on Saturdays and part time during the week as an art teacher at an afterschool arts program. My goal is to be a full time animal nanny 🫶🏻 I live in an apartment with my partner and cat. My cat is very shy and will mind her own business when another animal enters our space. I spend a lot of time outside, whether your animal likes long walks or sitting in a park for hours - i’m here to accommodate for their needs :)

About: I've spent years hanging out with all kinds of dogs and have had a few of my own for years, so I know what makes them tick. Whether it's a bunch of playful puppies or a sweet old dog, I've taken care of them all. I have experience with newborn litters and taken care of my own elderly dogs. Because of this, I can give your dog the perfect care they need to feel happy and loved, no matter how young or old they are! I currently work a full time job but I get fridays-Sunday off. During the weekends I’m free to take your pup on walks or even house sit while you’re gone enjoying some me time. Weekdays I usually have short days and can be flexible with my hours. I have a fenced back yard, and a lovely park not even 10 min away. They can spend time with me inside and outside my home.

“Great experience and will definitely be using her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Nate. I’ve spent years around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I take pride in providing consistent, thoughtful care. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, overnight care, or just a little extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m calm, observant, and reliable — and I always follow your dog’s routine and preferences closely. I’m comfortable with leash handling, senior dogs, basic meds, and high-energy pups that need a solid outlet. You’ll always get clear communication, prompt updates, cute photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. Let me know what your dog needs — I’m happy to help. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize the dogs I’m caring for — whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings. I keep a consistent routine to make sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need, and I build in time for updates and communication with pet owners. Because I work remote and on a flexible schedule, I’m able to stay focused and present with each animal I care for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so I can meet their specific needs. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or just quiet companionship, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. I always follow care instructions closely — including feeding, medications, and any training routines — and I keep things calm and consistent to help pets feel at ease. I also send regular updates so owners know their pet is doing well while they’re away.

About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.

“Lizette is great, she’s very trustworthy, friendly, punctual, very responsive and took great care of my Ellie. She followed all the instructions I sent her and made sure to send me lots of pictures on their walks which I really appreciate! I will book with her in the future for sure 🫶🏻 thank you Lizette”

“I rebooked Malissa and was not disappointed. I rebooked her for walks not a housesitting this time and I found my dog happy. She also sent me pictures and was on time for the walks. I trust her completely and already rebooked her for the end of July housesitting.”
