Dog Walking Counsman

“Shelby feels like family. I asked her to stop by so I could introduce her to Lala and walk her through the routine. She was on time, and she made me feel very comfortable. She was at ease with Lala, who is almost blind, and somewhat stand offish. She is definitely, a keeper!”

About: Hi there! I’m Kevin, and I provide warm, personalized pet care in the Sacramento State area. I share my home with pets I care for in a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. As someone who loves running and staying active, I especially enjoy taking dogs along the beautiful river paths right in front of my unit if they enjoy exercise and outdoor adventures too! Whether your pet prefers long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or a slower-paced routine, I always adapt my care to their personality and comfort level. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on being patient, empathetic, responsible, and highly communicative so pet parents always feel informed and at ease. I currently work part-time while preparing for higher education, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected with your furry friend while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and strive to create a loving and enriching experience whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐶🐾🐱 Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, driven by my genuine love for animals. My day often begins with morning walks or runs, which not only keep me active but also allow me to enjoy quality time with the pets I care for. I schedule dedicated times for feeding, play, and grooming, ensuring that each pet gets the individualized attention they deserve. My flexible part-time job gives me the freedom to balance work and pet care seamlessly. Whether it’s taking dogs on hikes or engaging in playful activities with cats, I make sure that caring for pets is a joyful and integral part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety and trust by providing a secure and welcoming environment tailored to their needs. I ensure that my space is pet-proofed, with safe areas for them to play and relax. A structured routine for feeding, walking, and playtime helps pets feel comfortable and reduces anxiety. In clients’ homes, I respect their space and routines while maintaining the same level of care and attention. I take extra precautions to follow any specific guidelines provided by pet owners, ensuring their pets feel secure and loved. Open and honest communication is key; I keep pet owners updated on their pets’ well-being, reinforcing trust and peace of mind. Whether in my home or theirs, my commitment is to create a safe and nurturing environment where pets can thrive.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and am the proud dog mom of my own Husky–Goldendoodle, Nagi. Caring for her has given me experience with daily walks, exercise, feeding, enrichment, grooming, and understanding different dog personalities and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and consistent routine while owners are away. In my professional career, I manage programs for the State of California, so being dependable, organized, and communicating clearly comes naturally to me. I bring that same level of responsibility and care to every pet I look after. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evenings, weekend, and holiday pet care. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting depending on my schedule. I always keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings that allow me to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Communication is very important to me, and I’ll send regular photo updates throughout each visit. I know pets feel happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I’ll respect your home as if it were my own and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent photo and video updates so you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands.

About: Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, whether it’s for friends, family, or my own furry (and feathered!) companions. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. From feeding, keeping water bowls full, giving medicine, and going on walks to potty breaks and clean-ups, I’ve got it all covered. I also have experience with cats—cleaning litter boxes, providing fresh food and water, and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. Plus, as someone who raises chickens, I’m happy to offer chicken care, too! As a dog mom to my sweet pup for seven years, I understand how much our pets mean to us. My goal is to provide the same level of care and love they’re used to so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. If you’d like, I’m happy to share references from families I’ve worked with—just let me know! I currently work with a flexible schedule, so I’m usually available and happy to help—just be sure to book ahead! Caring for my own pup has been part of my daily routine for the past seven years, and I can easily add care for your pets into the mix. Whether it’s feeding, walks, potty breaks, or cleaning up, I’m here to make things easy and stress-free for you and your furry friends I do not care for pets in my own home due to my personal pet, but I fully respect and follow the guidelines and care instructions set by pet owners to ensure your pet’s safety and security while in my care. I’m committed to providing the best experience for your pet in the comfort of their own home, following your preferences to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for.

“He watched our dog while we were out of town for four days and he was reliable and communicated with us during each visit. He sent photos of our pup on each visit and also fed and filled his water bowl. We will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Cedric.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved spending time with them, whether they were my dog or my close friends' and family's dogs. I have a 2 years of experience volunteering at the SPCA in roseville, where I met dogs of all kind from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. There I trained dogs in common commands such as "sit", "lie down", "go to bed" and mostly spent time socializing with them so they would become used to human interaction. I have also taught my own dog a range of commands such as; "heel", "stay", "hand shake", etc. I am great at bathing and grooming dogs and have my own equipment to wash, dry and brush them thoroughly. I love to meet dogs of all size and personalities, whether they are on the shy or calm side or if they are social with more energy. I am a college student at home on summer break so most of my days will be 100% free to show attention to the dogs. I will have ample time to play with and walk dogs. I live in a safe gated community. My home has a large fenced backyard with plenty of grass to play on and a large amount of space within the home as well. I have one small dog, a maltipoo and she is friendly with other dogs. I feel like dogs are family and want to care for them as they are my own family. I am open to house drop in visits based on the time and to sit dogs in client houses, to feed, walk, and play with the dogs.

About: I have experience caring for both typical and special needs dogs. My dog who has sadly passed was epileptic and had seizures regularly. My other dog had severe skin issues and allergies. She was regularly medicated and had to be fed a special diet. As a dog owner myself, I am familiar with dog behavior and understanding that there are special cases out there that may require more attention. I am also a plant mom and excellent house guest. My area will always be kept tidy and how you left it when you return. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I am currently in law school (online) and I work as a substitute teacher part time, so I am afforded a balanced schedule so that I can provide you with my services as well.

About: Hello there! My name is Josh, and I’m an enthusiastic dog caretaker who would love the chance to take care of your dog. At first glance, you might be unsure if this guy who looks like a pirate can reliably care for your furry friend. Rest assured, I am dedicated to meeting your dog’s needs in a safe and fun environment. I will ensure that your dog feels loved and happy. I prioritize open communication with pet owners to build trust. A little background about me: I currently have a rare brain tumor that makes it difficult for me to hold a regular job. The tumor is stable and only affects my vision in my left eye. I hope that with treatment, I will soon overcome this health challenge so I can return to school to become an MRI technician. In the meantime, I’m happy to work with Rover to save up for that goal. Taking care of your pets would mean a lot to me and would help me progress toward my aspirations. I promise to go above and beyond in my service to show my appreciation. I also have a well-behaved Belgian Malinois named Nezuko, who gets along with most dogs (check out the pictures) she really likes small dogs as she grew up with a Maltese and learned to play gentle with them, and she still loves her bigs dogs as her best friend is a massive Cane Corso who was the genlte giant that taught her how to play when she was growing up. I do Meet ups ar Natomas Meadows Park and the have dogs meet in an open and safe environment. When sitting they will have have beds to lay on, chicken feet or bones to chew on and relax and we will be watching anime most likely all day with walks and park visits in between. As I stated I am disabled so I consider this my full time job and I do my best to make sure your dogs feel cared for while they are stay with me. I am somewhat new to Rover but I've pet sitted alot over the years so feel free to ask any questions (Note: if there is a day I am not available please send me a message. Especially if I've worked with your dog before and I'll try and work something out) Thank you for reading, and I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I am on permanent disability so i am available at all times. I am still very active and I walk my own dog 3-4 miles a day. I have a huge park across the street that I take my dog to every day. If your dog is not good off-leash, I have a 50 ft leash they can use if they have a compatible vest. My dog is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs. She does get very excited when she sees new dogs and people, but I've never seen her be aggressive with any dog or person.
