Dog Walkers in Franciscan Village, CA

About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats always in the house. I deeply enjoy volunteering to walk and care for animals. I am a runner and can have dogs accompany me easily! During the school year I frequently walk dogs at the Portland Dog Rescue association up in Oregon. I have worked at the CSD in the recreational sports section , where I practiced time management, along with people/pet management. Overall, I love animals and am an extremely active person! My schedule is very flexible, I can accommodate any time or request. I'm free everyday day from 7am-10pm for walks and check-ins. I'm willing to work earlier or later upon request! I walk my own dog at least once a day for about an hour or so. I clean the litter box with diligence and love to give animals baths when they get dirty (bathing is needed most of the time after a trip to the dog park). At night I love to cuddle with my kitties and watch a movie.

About: I owned a dog camp for 10 years in the mountains outside of Boulder, CO. My daughter and I want to share our love and knowledge of animals with others. We have lots of experience and would love to spend time with your furry friends. My staff and I also worked extensively with Tenderfoot Trainers in Boulder, CO, and I have experience with a variety of dog personalities. We have a very flexible schedule and work from home. I have a small import business and work from home. My daughter homeschools and has various classes and lessons throughout the week. We can provide care (walks, food, snuggling, and potty breaks) in the early morning, at lunchtime, and/or dinner time as well as do sleepovers. We provide services housesitting, dog-walking, feeding, and giving potty breaks. Both my daughter and I love animals and we treat all pets as if they were our own. We understand how challenging it is to be away from your furry family but we will give lots of love, send lots of pics and do our best to form a lasting and loving relationship with your dog while you're away. We hope that your pup has as much fun as you while on vacation!

About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home

“Thank you so much for taking care of our Midas! Prompt responses, very visible with her care, we will absolutely be booking with you again. A++”

About: I have always been lucky enough to have a dog growing up. I have looked after my neighbors pets multiple times as well. I am very comfortable around all types. As for cats I have never personally taken care of any but I do volunteer at the shelter that has both cats and dogs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them and treat them as if they were my own. I have one family dog named Charles. He is a Lagotto Romagnolo and he truly is my bestfriend. I am interning at an accounting firm and I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 to 5 pm. I am free to pet sit these days too after 5. Since I sit at a desk all day, I have a lot of energy leftover and love going on walks and playing with my dog in the evening. Hopefully in the future yours too!! I currently have a dog and he is a big part of my life. I love exercising and everyone I do cardio he joins me for my walks. He loves playing fetch so I am used to that. I also just love a pets affection and love. I constantly walk my dog, take him to the dog park (even though all he does is sit in the shade), I feed him every night and give him infinite kisses!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, big or small consistently for the past couple years. I love to be active with dogs and would have no problem walking them and taking them out for long periods of time, as well as a calm day in. I’m currently just a part time student and aside from other small hobbies I am always available for any work needed! I am also always available for overnight stays too. Back at home I was always surrounded by dogs and I am used to all different types. With your dog I’ll always take them out for a walk, constantly doing different activities and that’ll come with plenty of photo updates aswell!

“Lauren helped us out with a last minute booking. We instantly felt very comfortable with her and she was great with our dog. Punctual and great communication. We will definitely book her again.”

About: As a dog lover at heart, I’m always on the lookout for new furry friends. When I’m not providing exceptional pet care, you can find me at the local adoption center spending my free time playing with the dogs and giving them the love and attention they deserve. My goal is to ensure every pet I care for has a positive experience, making their time away from you as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. I am currently seeking part-time work, which gives me plenty of time to devote to your pets. I’m available on all weekdays and most weekends, ready to provide the love and attention your furry friends deserve. Feel free to send me a message-I’d love to arrange a time to meet and discuss how I can help care for your pets. I maintain a safe and clean environment for my pets and promise to do the same for yours. While you are away, I will ensure your animals are well cared for and loved, taking care to clean up any messes. Your pets’ well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have cared for all kinds—big, small, energetic, shy, old and young! Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, giving each one the same love and attention I’d give my own! As a student athlete at Concordia University Irvine, I’ve learned to manage my time well and stay organized. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I love starting or ending my day with walks, playtime, or check-ins. Spending time with animals is not only rewarding, but it also helps me unwind and stay balanced between school, sports, and life Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I always focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and any other special instructions. I give lots of attention, keep things calm and consistent, and make sure each pet feels loved and secure while their owner is away.

About: I have grown up with all kinds of pets— dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, fish, etc! I have always been trusted with family, friends, and neighbors pets when they are out of town! I am home currently from school for Summer break, and really have no set routine, so I am very flexible and can carve time out of my schedule whenever needed! I am very easy going and have no problem following whatever instructions are given to me, I love to give attention to animals however understand when animals are more timid and am good at offering space.

I also have fostered kittens every summer since I was 10 😁 I’m a full time college student from August-May but am pretty free during the summer and can fit to pretty much any availability Just leave me some instructions on how you would care for your animal and I will follow it to a T! I can assure you your pet will get lots of loving and belly rubs (:

“Chris was great! Showed up on time every time and was always super friendly. He helped us walk our larger dog as I’m injured and can’t handle her strength when she pulls the leash. Super helpful! Thanks again for all of your help!”

“Maddie was wonderful with Oliver. She gave him a good workout afterwards he slept most of the day. She was prompt, caring, thoughtful and always took a picture.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm gave me an early, deep appreciation for animal care, and I’ve spent the last 40 years personally raising everything from dogs and cats to birds, rodents, and reptiles. Having cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and routine. Today, my home is kept lively by my own two dogs and two cats, so I am completely in tune with the daily rhythms, patience, and love it takes to keep multiple pets happy and thriving. I am currently between jobs. I recently left a long-time career in project management and am looking forward to doing something more rewarding. I am currently not bound to a rigid 9-to-5 office routine. This means I have ample availability for midday walks, flexible drop-in windows, and extended quality time to sit and keep your pets company so they never feel lonely. Your pets and your home are in totally safe, reliable hands with me! As a long-time dog and cat owner, I’m great at reading animal body language and making sure walks and playtime stay fun and stress-free. I'm naturally super detail-oriented, so I'll strictly stick to your feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules you have. You can count on me to keep your home secure, keep your pets happy, and send you plenty of fun photo updates along the way so you never have to worry.

“Great communication and Shona is happy and tired.”

About: I have always loved animals since I was little and have had various furry friends throughout my life. I have cared for dogs from miniature Poodles to German Shepherds; each animal has their own unique personality and I look forward to meeting them all. I have embraced retirement, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry family. From walking your neighborhood, exploring various trails, or just play time at the park or home, I will give your pet the love and attention I would my own pets. I currently have two cats, who are indoor only. They are played with daily, although half the time they just sleep in the sun. My current home project is to build them a catio so they can sleep there too.

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been surrounded by animals! My next-door neighbor would trust me for weeks at a time to take care of her old cat, and I would always take care of my pets when my parents weren’t home. Over the past year and a half, I worked at a local veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve decided to take on pet-sitting full time while I finish college with my career goal being a veterinarian! I also own a leopard gecko, giving me experience handling exotic reptiles! Whether your pets need frequent potty breaks, walks, play-dates, or any sort of medication, I’m your gal! Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority! I’m currently unemployed, and about to finish my college semester- giving me of the time in the world to work with you and your pets! My availability will always be flexible and I will be attentive to any of your needs. I live with one (soon to be two) dogs! My current dog is very sweet and sociable- she loves to make new friends! I’m used to taking big and small dogs on walks, and am more than willing to take your pet on a playdate with mine! I can crate your animal, prepare special meals, and clean up after them if they’re used to going potty in your backyard! Same thing applies to cats and their litter-boxes! I will always be sure to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I can remember. I have taken care of large timid dogs to tiny ones as well. I currently have a very high energy dog that requires a lot of attention and exercise and in the past had animals with high maintenance medical problems. I really enjoy the endless love animals give and love to spend time with them! Im currently a stay at home mom, so I have a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. I do need to bring my baby along with me as long as thats okay with my clients of course. I know how important it is to build trust with animals and meet them with live and patience which is what I plan to do with each and every animal that is in my care.
