Dog Walkers in Empire, CA

About: I am a retiree that has always had pets in my life. I enjoy spending time with pets and have a great personality that they all love. I have been recently pet sitting for friends and family and I am now ready to venture out and help others. I have a flexible schedule and will treat your pet the way you would treat them. Being a retiree also allows me to be very flexible on drop in times to do pet visit while you are away. I am dependable and punctual. I have a small 5 pound Chihuahua named Midnite, she loves to travel with me and make new furry friends. We both like to enjoy life and have fun. She's an easy going lady like me and we are excited to start pet sitting. We look forward to meeting you.

“As someone who gets anxiety leaving my furbaby Teresa helped me to be able to relax as i was out of state. She sent lots of updates and made sure he had plenty of food and water and fulfilled all other requests. We definitely book her again :)”

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands on experience caring for friends’ and family dogs, as well as my own, using positive reinforcement at home. On walks, I focus on gentle, calm structure, making sure gear fits comfortably, reinforcing polite leash manners, and (if you’d like) practicing simple cues like “sit,” “wait,” and “leave it.” I’m patient with excited dogs and extra gentle with nervous pups, always prioritizing safety and giving plenty of space from other dogs and people when needed. Dogs who need extra space on leash are welcome, I’m comfortable with mild–moderate reactivity and I work at the dog’s comfort level using distance, calm handling, and positive reinforcement. You’ll get photo updates + a quick walk recap each visit, and meet & greets are always welcome. I’m available for dog walks Monday through Saturday, with flexible time blocks from morning to evening (6am–10pm). Sundays are my off day. I’m happy to work with one-time walks, weekly routines, and recurring midday potty breaks—whatever keeps your pup happiest and most consistent. Safety comes first on every walk. I double-check harness/collar fit, use secure leash handling, and stay alert to surroundings. I avoid on-leash greetings unless you request them, give dogs space from triggers, and keep walks calm and positive. I’ll follow your routine closely and send photo updates each visit.

About: I've always loved taking care of animals. When I was little I had big plans of having a shelter for dogs, cats and horses. I had even planned out the cost. Two neighborhood cats took shelter in our home and garage had three litters with us, that had further sparked my young passion for pet care. Later in life I had taken care of neighbors and families pets. I also worked with and assisted a woman with a dog grooming service (and the occasional cat) which taught me a lot more about animal temperament and handling. I adore animals and would be honored to give your fuzzy friends my best care! I work part time at TJ Max I get my work schedule a week ahead and normally im scheduled for 1 to 2 days for 4 hour shifts. If I were to pet sit for you I would only need be away for 5 hours at a time if I'm shecduled (considering drive time). I am starting school this fall working toward becoming a nurse, so being able to work with animals in the meantime is a blessing. Through the week I care for my cat and my aunts dog. my kitty gets soup time nightly (wet food) and my aunts dog takes two walks a day. In my experience every animal has their own routine they need to feel comfortable, and I am happy to learn and apply it to give the best care possible!

“We have two large, heavy dogs, which can be intimidating, but Alora is great with them. She is dependable and pleasant, and they seem to enjoy their walks with her.”

“Lorean is doing an excellent job of walking and training Zoey to coexist with other dogs. I am unable to handle her anymore. Lorean is making great progress.”

About: Growing up with animals my whole life I’ve always had a fond love of my pets. I’ve watched numerous family and friends animals while they were away and loved spending time with every one of their pets. I furthered my education by obtaining a bachelors degree in animals science and working in vet medicine, it’s to safe to say it’s my passion! Can’t wait to meet your beloved pets! I currently work at an equine veterinary hospital only 4 days a week. My schedule is flexible enough to maintain your pets normal routines and schedules! Other than work my priority would be your pets! I have a strong love and passion for taking care of animals and take pride in giving the best care to your pets while you’re away! Having 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I understand just how important our pets are and how we love them like family. I am passionate about providing the best care for your pets as I would care for my own. I strive to ensure your pets are provided for in the best way possible that fits all your needs and provides comfort and peace of mind to you and your family.

About: I've been a frequent pet sitter since I was in Junior High, as well as always taking care of my own I'd often take care of my grandparents, uncles, and friends. I work part-time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and live with family so they'll be taken care of when I'm not around :) I live in a gated home with a large backyard for your pet to roam free in :) I also have two different sized crates available if needed.

“Naomi was fantastic, going above and beyond for both me and my dog. If nothing else is read on this review, I hope it is clear that I am sincerely so grateful for Naomi's professionalism and attention to detail when taking care of my dog with love. Zyla was so happy on the day to day with Naomi, but what really sets Naomi apart was how she showed up during different circumstances. As a last-minute ask, I asked Naomi if she would be able to check on Zyla during the 4th of July fireworks if she wasn't too busy. Not only did Naomi take time out of her holiday to do an unscheduled visit, she actually sat with Zyla for an extended period of time comforting her through the fireworks. I was so worried about Zyla during the 4th, but Naomi's care helped put me at ease and I was so so grateful. For me, her continued communication was excellent, with regular check-ins to ensure we were aligned on how the care was going and what needed to be done. She texted to see if the walk could be shorter because she noticed the weather would be hard for Zyla to walk in, asked to see if a chewed-up toy could be disposed of -- even throwing it away herself into the community bin so I didn't have to come home to trash in my can.”

About: I have had dogs of my own since I was in high school (10+ years). I have pet sat for family and friends multiple times throughout the years (both cats & dogs). I currently work from home full time so I have a very flexible schedule that would allow me to be around your loved one at all hours of the day. I have a big backyard (10,500 sqft) that is fenced all around. Your dog(s) will have ample space to run around and be free. I do not have pets of my own yet because I travel out of the country 3-6 months out of the year!

“Aaron is just so great to work with. He takes such great care of my older dog, who just adores him. Aaron walks my dog while I’m at work and he is reliable, a great communicator, and such an amazing caretaker. I’m so glad I found him!”

About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. My family and I have so much fun dog boarding and I find it fulfilling to work as a dog sitter. Maybe I'll open up a unique pet services business one day 🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾 Pet care fits into my schedule when I am not working a full-time job. As I stated, I have 2 dogs of my own and spend a lot of time training them and taking care of their physical needs. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.

About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.

“Regina was great!! She communicated clearly and gave lots of updates before and after the walk. You can tell she loves doggies! Would not hesitate to book again.”

About: My entire life I have been surrounded by animals. From my hometown, I have lived on a ranch with cows, chickens, goats, and the occasion raccoon or fox haha! More specifically, dogs have been a huge part of life. They are my best friends and I really do believe they are life’s biggest blessings. While attending school in Davis, I’ll make sure to take great care of any kind of pet as if it were my own! I am a full time student with a lot of free time to take great care of your furry friends & family! I am able to come back to my apartment or drive to your residency to check up on your pets whenever is necessary. Each pet is different so that means being flexible in tackling each situation that occurs. I have taken care of nearly all types of dogs, cats, bunnies, and more (all have been of different sizes as well). I feel as people we learn a lot from the animals in our lives and I look forward to meeting your pets soon!
