Dog Walkers in Ferndale, CA

About: I have 5 outdoor cats and had 1 dog, who recently passed away due to a brain tumor. I am full of love for animals, but I am not ready to take on another pet full time. Instead, I would love to help my neighbors provide care for their pets! Miko was a very special dog, that required tons of walks & taught me a LOT about animal behavior and communication. Through my love and training for him, I was able to spend a lot of time doing what is most important to me: spending time in nature, bonding, teaching and loving animals. They give me such purpose, and I want to spend each and everyday around them. I work full-time, from home, in the tech industry and have a very flexible schedule. Due to my home being empty, it's a safe place for pets to stay or I can travel easily. I currently work full time Monday - Thursday from my computer and have a very flexible schedule. I can work anywhere with good wifi, can take a lot of breaks to do walks & potty time. I don't have a fenced yard so your dog would be on leash outside at my house. I live in a very quiet area, so it's great for reactive dogs if they need a more quiet place to be. I am able to crate train you dog as you wish, and teach them simple commands if that is something you desire. I'm very flexible and will follow your instructions.

“Kristin was very punctual and responsible. She noted every detail of their walk, including pee and poop stops. She was observant enough to alert me to possible ailments stemming from their walk like, sore paws or a rash from where their harness rubs. She noted that one of our girls peed more than normal. Knowing this, I can call a vet to have her checked out. I would highly recommend Krissi to anyone who needs a dog walker or sitter. I'm definitely planning on hiring her again.”

“Sam was wonderful with my dog. He sent such cute photos oh her on her daily walks, it definitely help put my mind at ease while at work. Highly recommend”

“So great to meet you! I appreciate your showing up prepared and asking all these great questions. Really made me feel comfortable as a newcomer to the app. Terra’s picture made me laugh. Thanks again 💕 Terra & Kaylin”

“Nyah is a great person to be trusted with pets! She’s an extremely responsible and independent person for her age. For the times she’s watched my pets, she has been very reliable and caring. I know how much she loves animals and I know that she would love to work with them more!”

“Marlen is simply the best!”

“Heather was amazing! It was so obvious that our fur kids were well taken care of and loved while we were away. Heather was very professional and a great communicator. We connected twice before her initial stay, once as a meet-and-greet, and again to go over details and exchange keys; both times Heather engaged with all of the pets and was delightful to interact with. While we were away we got daily updates and photos of all of our pets- always before we ever reached out. Awesome bonus- the house was immaculate! We will definitely be using Heather again! My only hesitation in writing a great review is that someone else may scoop Heather up! ;)”

“Whenever I was Chip's houseguest while he was caring for a little dog named Roxy, I was impressed that Chip was always attentive, loving and caring for the little dog. Roxy was well fed and exercised and seemed completely at home. She was brushed and bathed on a regular basis. Chip was taking care of the dog while the dogs owner was fighting Cancer. Roxy had the run of the house, her own bed, a patio where she could enjoy the sun during the day and an outside meadow to commune with other dogs. I bet she thought she was on vacation!”

“Miranda is the best dog sitter. She was very caring and loving to my two dogs. I am always confident to have her check on my dogs.”

“I highly recommend Ariel as a responsible pet caregiver. As a fellow dog owner and enthusiast, Ariel brings a level of understanding and compassion. Her commitment to providing safe and loving care for pets is evident in every interaction. She prioritizes the well-being of the animals under her care, but she also goes above and beyond to ensure impeccable customer service for pet owners.”

About: I take care of many dogs and have had them at my house or stay at their owner’s house. Either way I am very comfortable with. I am currently not working and have lots of love and time for your fur babies. Dogs bring me a lot of joy. I also really love walking so I can exercise your dogs anytime. I have a fenced yard and lots of space for animals. I also have a corral if the dog needs to be locked us at night.

“I requested services from Amy to walk my dog Penny while I was out of town. Although I was unable to meet her in person, Amy exceeded my expectations. I was a little apprehensive about someone else walking my dog because she is still a young lab in training, Amy understood my concerns and made me feel comfortable with her services. On the days Amy would take Penny out, she constantly sent me updates with photos and videos of Penny playing with other dogs. Penny was also very well behaved with Amy, which was my concern, and that she listened to Amy. When penny was dropped off at my parents house, my mom would tell me how exhausted Penny would come home after a day with Amy and how well behaved she was after the walks. Overall, I’m very happy that I picked Amy and would definitely consider asking her again for her services again. She’s awesome!”

“Dakota is a responsible dog lover. She has spent a lifetime loving and learning about dogs. She likes to care for and walk dogs. She takes her own dog everywhere. Walking and caring for your dogs I know she will do honestly and with love.”

“Channing was great! She posted updates and a picture of my pup which I really appreciated! And was understanding of his puppy energy!”

“Reliable, considerate, and caring for my boys. Oliver 2 year old Staffordshire and Louie 11 year old chihuahua mix. Will be booking Sebastian weekly.”

“Lexi is happy to see Maria, and enjoys her walks. Very happy with Maria”

“I leave my little Bentley with Brittany B. every time I leave town and my little friend can’t come. She does above and beyond.. I get updates and pictures through the day. She takes him on adventures as well as provide a relaxing setting where he feels comfortable and cared for. Brittany makes sure he stays on schedule with feeding and potty time. I can tell she puts a lot of love into the four legged friend because when it’s time to pick him up I see he gives her good loving back!”

“I have known Elaine for 35 years, during which time she has always been a total pet-lover and has always had at least one dog and/or one cat. She derives her skills at pet-care not only from this expansive experience with pets, but also, as a long-time RN (now retired), from her care and concern for two-legged creatures as well! She is perfectly suited for this role!”

“Lily has watched our 2 dogs and cat multiple times. I know they are in good hands whenever she watches them. She makes sure to play with them, take them out frequently, and feeds them their appropriate meals and amounts.”

“Zowee was around our Staffordshire Terrier for several years, before he passed, and he absolutely adored her. She is reliable, trustworthy and has dogs and cats of her own. She has her own transportation and can even take your pet on an outing, if so desired. I highly recommend her.”
