Dog Walking Elsey

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes, as I’ve owned a few dogs myself! I’m comfortable around dogs with different personalities and understand the importance of providing them with love, attention, exercise, and proper care. My childcare experience has also helped me become patient, responsible, and dependable. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My schedule allows me to balance work with caring for pets, and I love having the opportunity to spend my free time with animals! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on my days off and during the mornings on days when I work later. I’m responsible, flexible, and happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. When caring for pets in their own home, I want to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll follow their usual routines for walks, feeding, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to adjust to what makes them feel most comfortable. Having owned dogs of different breeds and sizes myself, I understand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and dependable. My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re getting a little extra love while you’re away!

About: I’m here to help make sure your pet(s) are cared for when you have a busy day or week. Can’t take your furry friend on vacation? No problem! I can help you out :) If your pet has special requirements, just let me know & I will make sure they feel supported. I have been caring for animals since I can remember... and in the past 20 years caring for the pets of family, friends, and clients. I have experience with both large and small breeds. Requests for farm animals ok too! Caring for pets fits well with my lifestyle; I enjoy taking pups for walks outside. It’s also a fun break in the day to drop in for a care visit & give your pets some time and attention. When house sitting, I like to make sure your pet gets exercise earlier in the day. This helps improve their mood, appetite, and overall behavior while their usual human is away. We’ll stick to the house rules like mealtimes & furniture preferences, but I mighttt sneak an extra treat in here and there (unless you request I refrain from spoiling.)

About: I'm a dedicated animal care provider with five years of proven experience in multiple animal fields with the knowledge to give exceptional care to dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Committed to ensuring the well-being, safety, and happiness of your most loved companions. I am currently a student at Chico State with all online classes - this leaves me with completely open availablity with some exceptions as around finals. Other than that I am very flexible in order to meet your needs! By prioritizing safety, trust-building, and providing a comfortable environment, I will not only meet the pet's physical and emotional needs but also establish a strong bond of trust with both the pet and the owner.

About: I volunteered at Haven Humane Society in Redding for three years, where I gained a lot of experience caring for both cats and dogs. While I was there, I helped clean and sanitize their areas, walked dogs, and spent time socializing with the cats. In my personal life, I have a kitty who is my pride and joy! He does well with other animals and has definitely made my love for animals even stronger. I also had a dog who recently passed away. I had her since she was a puppy and helped train and care for her throughout her life, so I’m very familiar with the puppy world and all the patience and attention that comes with it! I’ve always loved animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets. I would treat every pet I care for like they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a student at Butte College, so my schedule gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your furry friends! I usually have classes in the mornings, so most afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to work with you and your pet’s normal routine! I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pets, so I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. For boarding, I’ll make sure your pet has a comfortable and safe space in my home, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I do have a cat of my own who does well with other animals, so I will always make sure everyone is introduced safely and is comfortable around each other. For dog walking, I’ll make sure your dog is secure on their leash and follow any instructions you have for their walks. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your pet’s normal routine, and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates while your pet is with me because I know how nice it is to know your furry friend is safe and being taken care of!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!

“Sophia is fantastic! She is very thorough in getting to know the dogs and their preferences and personalities. Our dogs have taken to her right away. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog walker with great attention to detail!”

About: I've had the pleasure of loving and taking care of furbabies of all sizes for 20 years. I first started pet sitting for an acquaintance in 2005. Later, when I became established in the area as a trusted house cleaner, I started pet sitting for some of my clients and their friends. Sadly, I lost all my clients and contacts save one in the Camp Fire as my client base was in Paradise and Magalia. Since then, I have taken care of my own little furbabies and ever so often cared for the Chihuahua/Pug/Terrier mix of the one remaining client from Paradise. Within the years that I was actively pet sitting, I took care of dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Whippets. I am excited to once again assist you with your pet sitting needs and ensure the best attention is given to your dog’s health, happiness, and well-being! For my clients in Paradise and Magalia, I did both drop-ins and overnight stays. (My favorite memory was staying with two little lovely Dachsies for three weeks!) I made sure each pet I took care of was fed as per the instructions given to me and that they had access to fresh, clean water. Whether it’s maintaining a regular meal routine or making sure your pet stays hydrated throughout the day, I prioritize comfort and health for all furbabies in my care. I also have experience administering medications, whether oral or topical, and am dedicated to ensuring your pets specific medical needs are met with precision and care. I know personally the importance of a vet's instructions and the proper maintenance of a consistent medication routine. I also know the importance of exercise in keeping a pet happy and healthy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous activity, I am happy to ensure that your pet gets the exercise and playtime they need! Above all, each dog that I have taken care of I have treated as part of my family. I look forward to providing your furbaby with the same love, attention, and care that I have given to my past clients and to my own pets! My schedule has changed and is more open during the work week. I currently have a day job between the hours of 12:30PM and 2:30PM, Monday through Friday. My hours can be flexible with this day job. I am available early morning and some evenings during the work week. My schedule changes, on occasion, in the evenings Monday through Friday. My weekends are fully free and am available for pet sitting, dog walking and drop-ins all day on Saturday and Sunday. For any pet in my care, whether it has been a client's pet or my own, I have always ensured that they have gotten plenty of love and quality care. For past clients, I adhered to all instructions given pertaining to feeding time, exercise and medications if applicable. I made sure there were plenty of cuddles and that every pet in my care felt safe and secure.

About: I’m a huge animal lover of both cats and dogs! I’ve had experience training puppies and also caring, walking, crate training, and maintaining a healthy feeding schedule. I’m open any day of the week at any times and I’m able to come house sit. Most animals are comfortable in their own home so whatever works best for them. I will ensure a safe environment for your pet whether that be crating your pet, keeping a close eye on your pet, and providing them play as a healthy distraction as you arrive.
