Dog Walkers in Cotati, CA

“Gina was great with our shy dog! She was on time and we’ll definitely use her again.”

About: I got my first dog, Duchess, my little mix (shih tzu, pekingese, west highland terrier) 15 years ago. During a family discussion about a pet, I was the only one who advocated for getting her but when my family and I laid our eyes on her, everyone got on board! I’ve been her main caregiver and I’ve enjoyed taking care of her from a young pup to becoming an older dog now. For her daily routine, I take her on a walk about 4 times a day for about 15 minutes. She’s a sniffer so we slowly walk along the neighborhood and I let her take her time on our excursions. It’s always a nice break to spend time with her and get a bit of exercise in. I’ve also enjoyed pet sitting for my aunt’s family. They have a two year old small white dog who has lots of energy. I love taking their dog, Peanut, on walks when they’re away and playing ball with him. It’s always a blast!

“Bellajean is amazing! so patient and kind. She was very determined to get my anxious girl to like her & now they’re besties! Highly recommend her for any pet service.”

About: Hello! My name is Kiana. I am from Rohnert Park and I grew up with cats and a family dog and I now have my own young cat, who is the light of my life. She is an adventure cat that I hike with and she especially loves the redwoods! I am currently a top dog walker on the WAG app! I previously worked at Fit N Furry Pet Resort as a Pet Technician in charge of day care, feedings, walking, and individual play. I also assist in the care of a family member's two German Shepherds from time to time. I truly believe that our fur babies are so important and their care is something to not take lightly. I want only the best care for my cat when I'm away and I know you feel the same way about your fur babies. I have open availability right now to care for your fur babies! Whether that be walks, drop ins, or sitting! I look forward to meeting your fur babies! Depending on the service I like to slowly let the animal get to know me while I talk to him/her. I then like to follow the instructions of the pet parent and intuit with the pet needs. I very much enjoy long walks!

About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets before whether it’s staying over night, check in visits, or walking their animal! I can do cats or dogs I am a kindergarten teacher so right now I am able to watch animals or walk animals after 3:10(I can overnight sit too) or if you needed something all day long then weekends work best for me! I care for pets just exactly how the owner wants me to! If you leave a note or specific instructions for your pet I will follow it. I understand the importance of taking care of pets a certain way since I have a pet as well

“Amanda has been fantastic as a dog walker. Reliable, caring, and great communication too. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had the chance to care for pets both at home and through some volunteer work. I live with my dog, Dale, and my cat, May, and they’re both super friendly and social. I really believe in creating a safe, comfy space for pets to feel right at home. I also volunteer at the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter, helping out with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it's in my home or yours, I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they need to feel happy and safe. I’m available at any time, whether on weekdays or weekends, so I can easily adjust to whatever schedule works best for you and your needs. In my home, pets are treated like family. I live with my dog, Dale, and my cat, May, and all pets are always welcome to relax on the couch or bed for extra comfort. Both Dale and May are friendly with other animals. Dale goes on walks three times a day for 30-40 minutes each. I live near Sonoma State University, where I take my dog for daily walks around campus or let him play at the Practice Field. My home also has a small patio for pets to enjoy.

About: I am a life-long dog owner and lover. In the past few years I have helped raise multiple puppies and been a professional pet and house sitter. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from teeny tiny to 130+ lbs ! I love going on walks in nature and making sure dogs get sufficient exercise and mental stimulation. And of course, lots of snuggles! I have experience with elderly and special needs dogs as well, including medication and special diets. I look forward to meeting your sweet pup! I am a musician who works from home so I have a lot of flexibility and time to pour into the animals I am caring for. Daily walks are my favorite! I treat every space I enter as sacred and care for it like my own. My home has 2 small dogs currently, so it is designed for their care and safety. I love to leave a space cleaner than when I found it! And bless it with positive energy, leaving you with a happy pet.

“Peggy is sooooo amazing. AMAZING, AMAZING AND AMAZING !!!! I have yet to meet a dog walker who treats someone else's pet like her own. Peggy went above and beyond by how attentive, caring, and loving she was. And Daisy simply adores her.”

About: I've been working with animals for years, and i am also a dog groomer. I've been trained and schooled on dog behavior, anatomy and so much more. I work early hours grooming and after work or on my free time I do walk neighbors pets and help a lot of elderly take care of their pets as well. Pet care is everyday for me. Most of the time I feed, walk, bathe and whatever else is asked or needed for each pet. Some do take medication as they are seniors and I help with that as well.

I live in a home with a safe, fenced backyard and plenty of room for your pup to enjoy the outdoors. I am very reliable and my house is dog friendly.

For pets that require it, I use leashes and harnesses during walks. 2. Building Trust: 🌸 Routine and Consistency: I maintain the pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to create a sense of stability. 🌸 Gentle Interaction: I approach pets calmly and respectfully, allowing them to get comfortable with my presence. I use positive reinforcement techniques to build a trusting relationship. 🌸 Communication with Owners: I keep pet owners updated with regular messages and photos, ensuring transparency and peace of mind. 3. Creating a Comfortable Environment: 🌸 Familiar Surroundings: I ensure pets have access to their favorite toys, bedding, and other comfort items. 🌸 Engaging Activities: I provide mental and physical stimulation through games, exercise, and enrichment activities tailored to each pet’s preferences and energy levels. 🌸 Comfort and Care: I ensure pets are comfortable, whether it’s through maintaining their usual resting spots or managing their special needs like medication. 🌿 For Specific Services: 🌸 Pet Sitting: I stay in the client’s home, ensuring pets have companionship and consistent care in their familiar environment. 🌸 Dog Walking: I explore pet-friendly trails and parks while ensuring the dog’s safety and providing plenty of exercise. 🌸 Cat Care: I ensure litter boxes are clean, provide interactive play, and ensure a stress-free environment. By focusing on these core principles, I strive to provide the highest level of care, ensuring pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for in their own home.

About: I currently have 5 of my own dogs, my oldest we have had for 8 years. I used to work at a dog rescue and I currently work at a kennel, so I have experience with all kinds of dogs. I am working full time at a dog kennel and I’m available on my days off and days I work in the mornings. My days off typically fall during the week but my schedule changes week to week. On days marked “not available” I would only be available after 5:30pm. I have experience fitting collars and harnesses to all sized dogs for their safety. I also know how to safely and properly use e-collars, prong collars, muzzles, martingales, and gentle leaders. I have a reactive dog myself, so I know how to keep dogs safe in environments that may make them uncomfortable.

“Very kind, would book again”
