Dog Walking Fontenay Villa

About: For the last 6 years I have had different friends and family rely on me for dog, cat, and rabbit care. I have been responsible for scheduled feedings, bathing, walks, and of course playing and quality time. My goal is always to be communicative, reliable, and adaptable to any and all of your pets individual needs. I currently work full-time in retail with a schedule that varies per week, but would love to use any of my free time and days off to spend with pets. All shifts are 8 hours or less and I am more than willing to make time before or after (or both) any of my shifts. My biggest priority in any situation is to remain communicative and careful, as I understand what it’s like to have your pet in somebody else’s care. In cases of pet-sitting in your home I can be trusted to be respectful of all belongings, keeping a clean space, and going above and beyond care instructions. In cases of boarding in my home, I live in a two story house in the hills of Scotts Valley with two other animal-loving housemates. We have a large fenced backyard on a hill and plenty of hiking trails nearby to stay active.

I am very much open to communicating to work out scheduling With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m not just here to feed and walk your pet, I’m here to give them love, attention, and a safe, stress-free environment while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make you feel 100% confident that your furry friend is in loving, capable hands.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. My parents and my sister have dogs that I help take care of and love to take on walks! I don’t have a dog of my own because I’m not allowed to have one where I live but I’d love to get my dog fix through helping take care of yours! I’m currently in the middle of finding a new job. I just moved back home from San Luis Obispo. I’m open weekdays mostly mid mornings. I walk/run down at rio almost everyday and love to stay active. Would love dog friends to join! I have a fenced yard off the main roads. My parents have a golden doodle and a couple of cats that love to run on the property plus it’s a very family oriented and friendly neighborhood.

About: I've cared for pets since I was 12. Growing up in a family with so many different critters has given me such a deep connection to caring for animals. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, ferrets, and other rodents. I feel extremely confident in my animal care skills. I am currently not in school. I'll have a part-time job, so I will have plenty of time for pet care. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy! I am a very responsible individual. When in a client's home, I will respect it like my own. Getting to know how and what I need to do is very important to me and will be followed through.

“Meghan was excellent! She was punctual, friendly, and well-suited to handle my large breed dog! I’m super grateful for her efforts and I would absolutely work with her again!”

“Amanda was amazing with my dog, Luna. She took her on long walks and Luna came back tired and a very happy camper. It’s clear that Amanda is wonderful with dogs and genuinely cares about them. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

About: I am a responsible, nurturing and kind individual who loves all animals. I have owned small dogs, large dogs, a cat, aquatic pets, and taken care of many of my friends', family members' pets and been referred to many to care for their dogs and cats. In my last relationship I took full responsibility for three large dogs, one which was a rescue adopted as a puppy, (feeding, administering medications, training, exercise, bathing, grooming, vet visits) for about 5 years. I am currently working part-time and taking a break from school while I prepare to apply to a health profession program. This gives me a very open and flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and overnight care. Because of my flexible availability, I can devote plenty of time and attention to your pet, ensuring they stay on their normal routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and companionship. I look forward to working with you and providing your pet with the compassionate, dependable care they deserve while you're away! I provide loving, reliable pet care in your home using your pet's own supplies to help keep their routine as normal as possible. I use the food, treats, toys, bedding, leashes, litter, medications, and any other pet essentials you provide, so I don't bring my own pet supplies. This helps your pet stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you're away. I live in a quiet, small neighborhood with about 0.75 acres of yard space and keep a clean, tidy home with plenty of room for pets to roam and relax. If boarding or daycare is arranged at my home, I will use any pet supplies you provide to maintain your pet's routine and comfort. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your pet like family, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, including my own. I am looking forward to bonding with my neighborhood animals. I love to go on long walks I work from home part-time and have plenty of time to give your animal the love and attention they need. I frequently go for a long walk and would love to be accompanied by a pet. I have a very animal, friendly home and happy to crate them if needed as well. I would love to spend most of the time outdoors with the pet going on long walks.

“I have asked Mary Ann to help with the care of our family dog twice now and both times she was responsive with booking, cleaning up an accident inside the house, giving meds and showing up in time frames requested. We are really grateful for her help and service.”

About: I have taken care of animals as long as I can remember. At 12 I raised my first service dog, and since raised another service dog through Guide Dogs of America. I have house/dog/cat/bunny sat for animals of all ages and temperaments. I am excited to meet your furry, or not so furry, friend! I am currently working part time so I will have lots of time to take care of your pups. I am more than happy to discuss scheduling. I am comfortable with many different environments. Personally, I have a fenced in backyard which allows for plenty of outdoor running room. If there are certain things you need done for your dog just let me know.

About: Hi there! I'm a college student on summer break with tons of free time and a huge love for animals! I've grown up around dogs and pets my whole life and have always enjoyed caring for them. Whether your pet is full of energy or more of a cuddle bug, I'm here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm very active and would be thrilled to take your dog on adventures such as beach walks, redwood hikes, or just fun neighborhood strolls. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to match your pet’s needs, whether that means extra playtime, lots of snuggles, or sticking to a specific routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight care, or just keeping your pet company during the day. With my flexible schedule and love for animals I’d be honored to care for your pet like they’re my own. I have a two year old pitbull named Alfred who is a very active pup. I try to take him on hikes to the river or to the beach most days. My girlfriend also has two dogs who I help to care for when I can. I have a very open summer with lots of free time and I would love to spend that time with your animals. I care for each pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in any environment. I’ll stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel at ease. I’m happy to take your dog on as many walks—or runs!—as they need, and I’m great at following specific instructions, whether it’s feeding times, medication, or special routines. Every pet is unique, and I’m here to make sure their needs are met with care and attention.

“Daniel was the best thank you so much!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and can’t imagine life without them. While I’m not in a position to have a pet of my own right now, caring for other people’s pets is a great way for me to spend time with the animals I love. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes. I’m very comfortable around strong breeds and understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need. I also have experience with puppies and basic training. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I’m attentive to their individual routines and happy to follow whatever instructions you leave for me. I have many years of house sitting experience around the world, so I understand how important it is to take good care of both your home and your pets. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals. Whether your pet needs a little exercise, companionship, playtime, or simply someone to give them some extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to be that person. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work remotely Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so I’m home and have a flexible schedule for most of the day. I’m also generally home on weekends. This makes me available for house sitting and daytime check-ins, with plenty of flexibility to work around your pet’s routine. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my longer in-person workdays, when I’m typically away from home from about 8 AM–5 PM. I’m unable to host pets in my home because pets aren’t permitted at my residence. I’m happy to provide loving care, walks, and drop-in visits at your home.

About: I have been pet sitting for the past 3 years using Trusted House sitters. But grew up with dogs, have lived with cats the last 10 years and love being around all types of animals! I have watched a variety of pet with a range of needs. I love learning about the unique personality each animal has! I work a completely remote job as designers from 7 am - 3 pm PST. During these times, I have sporadic meetings, but nothing that would take me away from watching your animal for over nights. I am a flexible and great at adapting to different schedules and routines. I am an active person so am able to go for walks, hikes or runs based on your dogs needs. I am a naturally tidy person and I will leave your home exactly in the state as when you left. I am available to watch any type of pet in your home! I only can accept dogs in my home. I live on farm with a fenced in yard but outside of that there’s a lot of space to roam. I live with 3 other roommates who are also animal lovers. We live with a cat but he is outside most of the day and feels quite indifferent about dogs.

“Sydney has walked my dog, Louis, on several occasions. His interaction with Louis is very positive and Louis is excited when Sydney comes. Sydney has always been on time and sends pictures during the walk to let me know that he has Louis. I definitely recommend Sydney!”

“Very attentive and caring. Listened to my concerns re: my pup's seperation anxiety and took extra time and TLC before and after walking her. Highly recommend!”

“Madison was great! even though my pup was reluctant to walk away from me, she was really good with encouraging him and helping him feel safe. She’s a very kind person and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. I also think she’d be great at overnight sits in your home.”
