Dog Walkers in Frenchtown, CA

About: I've been around animals my entire life and currently care for two horses, a donkey, and a dog as part of my daily routine on our ranch. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs, cats, and several reptiles, giving me experience with a wide variety of animals and their unique needs. Caring for animals is more than a responsibility for me—it's something that brings me genuine fulfillment and helps keep me grounded. From feeding, grooming, and exercising animals to monitoring their health and well-being, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentive care. As a pet sitter, I strive to provide the same level of love, safety, and attention that I give my own animals every day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I will make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I am reliable, trustworthy, and committed to treating every pet as if they were part of my own family. Pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. Early every morning, I get up early to feed my two horses, donkey, and dog. I make time to check in with each of them, give them attention, and make sure they're happy and comfortable. I also ensure all water troughs are full, muck stalls and runouts, and provide turnout time in designated pastures for grazing, exercise, and enrichment when appropriate. In the evenings, I bring the horses back in, separate them into their individual stalls so they can eat safely, feed everyone again, check that their environment is secure for the night, and close up the barn. Caring for animals every day has taught me the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and maintaining a reliable routine. Because animal care is already built into my daily schedule, caring for clients' pets fits naturally into my day. After completing my morning ranch chores, I have the flexibility to visit and care for other pets, and I treat them with the same attention and care I give my own animals. I enjoy making each pet part of my routine and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's needs and follow the owner's instructions closely. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive exercise and bathroom breaks as needed, and get plenty of attention and companionship. I also monitor their behavior and overall well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems unusual. If requested, I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. Having experience caring for a variety of animals—including dogs, cats, reptiles, horses, and a donkey—I understand that every animal has its own personality and comfort level. Some pets want lots of playtime and affection, while others prefer a calmer approach and space to relax. I adapt my care to what makes each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive reliable, attentive care while their family is away.

“Riley did a great job with my shy grown pup. Riley shared quality feedback and photos with me on how Dakota responded to her, even after meeting her, which was helpful. Dakota is a shy girl, but sometimes warms up quickly. She gets homesick from her mama, but Riley handled it well. She was timely, responsive, and professional.”

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom of two little ones and a big animal lover. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I have about 10 years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that pets are family members, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Since I’m home most of the day with my kids, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick check-in, or loving company while you’re gone, I’d be happy to help. I’m also looking to earn a little extra income for my family, and there’s no better way to do that than by spending time with furry friends. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Since I’m a stay-at-home mom with my little ones, I have a very flexible schedule and am often available throughout the day. In some cases, my children may come with me for drop-in visits or certain pet care tasks. They are gentle, respectful around animals, and have grown up around pets themselves, so they are very comfortable and calm with them. Our family loves animals, and we always treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care. When caring for pets, I always do my best to follow the routine and preferences discussed with their owner. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I aim to keep their feeding times, walks, playtime, and general care as close to their normal schedule as possible. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of pups in multiple different capacities since I was 18. From taking care of older dogs (giving them meds, changing diapers,etc) to watching puppies and helping potty train them. I have always loved dogs, but that love grew so much more when my husband and I got our Corgi-Australian Shepherd pup 3 years ago. I understand the feeling of wanting to make sure your dog is taken care of when you are gone for long hours. If you choose me, I will make sure to not only follow your instructions but make your pup feel loved, so that you can enjoy your day and not be worried. I work part time from home so I do have Mondays and Fridays off. So I’m flexible on those days and then weekend, if I have advance notice. Leave detailed instructions for me so that I can keep your dog/house safe and sound :) The more details the better so I can ensure your happiness with my service.

“Megan is a very thoughtful dog walker… she even brings cold water for my dog on the walk on hot days! 😊 I have a dog who is aggressive to other dogs and Megan is great with her. 5 Stars!!”

About: Owner Away? I’ll Sit and Stay. I am willing to take care of your dog at my house or yours and have been an avid lover of our furry friends for as long as I can remember. Besides caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish and gerbils of my own in the past, I have been declared the animal whisperer in my family. I am currently a third-year student studying to create prosthetics for animals at Cal Poly University and volunteer with Guide Dogs for the Blind as well as two other organizations that foster and rehouse animals to their furrrever homes. I would love nothing more than the opportunity to meet with you and your pet to give them the best level of care while you're away and to help you feel confident in trusting to leave your fur baby with me. I am currently taking this quarter off of school to focus on work and so I have quite a bit of free time as my job only requires that I work from home. That being said, whatever availability is required to fit your needs, that is a department I am more than flexible to appease. Ideally, I would like to offer care in the client's home, whether that be pet/house sitting or just walking the dog. In that situation, I would be more than happy to take care of upkeeping the household if need be (i.e. water plants, take out the trash, pick up the mail, etc.) I live in an apartment complex where smaller animals are allowed so depending on the client's case, I can try to accommodate housing arrangements in my home instead.

About: I've been a pet/house sitter for about 10 years, I started when I was a teenager helping my family friends and neighbors to now as an adult. I've grown up my whole life surrounded by animals and I couldn't imagine it any other way. Love connecting with the pets and fellow animal lovers! I do my sitting job full time so I'm available for more attentive care and easy contacting. I do house sit as well if you'd like me to stay with your pet overnight for a peace of mind and comfort of the animals. I don't like to overlap my jobs so that I can give each person and their pets my full attention and presence. I'm always very aware of animals boundaries and environment, wheather that is separate feeding or toy aggression. Taking any necessary walks or have play time to keep their energy and spirits up. Also, I always try to keep everything as you left it. I always clean up after myself and the animals if needed, I'm consistent with any schedule given, and I also give frequent updates including pictures of your pets so you know they're doing good!

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I am looking to take on as many hours as possible! I am currently in college, but only have classes Monday and Wednesday and can work around my school schedule. I am unable to bring pets home due to having my own cat and living in an apartment with a single pet deposit! But I am just fine coming to you! I offer dog walking, some behavioral training while pet sitting/walking, in home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!

About: With over 11 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, I bring both heart and experience to every pup I look after. I grew up on ranches surrounded by animals and have been dedicated to dog care ever since I can remember. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, including seniors, special needs pups, and even paraplegic dogs who require extra love and attention. Whether it’s calm companionship or active adventures, I tailor each experience to your dog’s unique needs. I love taking dogs on walks, runs, or fun outings, whatever keeps their tails wagging. Your dog will be treated like part of the family in my care. Caring for animals has gone hand in hand with my line of work since I began my educational journey, and massage therapy practice. I make my own schedule and take college classes online so I have all the flexibility I could possibly need. I walk my dogs three to five times a day, depending on my family’s schedule, and they get plenty of playtime on the grass at least twice a day. My cats litter boxes are cleaned daily, and I make sure their water is always fresh. All of my pets are brushed every day and get weekly baths to keep them clean and comfortable. Whenever I can, I take my dogs to the river for a fun adventure. I truly love caring for my amazing fur babies they bring so much joy to my life, and I’m committed to giving your animals the best care possible.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. After receiving my degree in Animal Science, I worked for an animal sanctuary for 6 years where we helped rescue, rehabilitate and care for animals in need. I've also been petsitting for neighbors and friends since I was 12-years-old. Since leaving the animal sanctuary, I’ve found myself really missing caring for animals and would love to help anyone, animals especially, that need assistance. Love playing, walking, and cuddling! Go for a morning walk before work. Take my dog to work with me and take him on a walk at lunch. Or if working from home, go for a walk on our lunch break. Gets fed 3 times a day and many treats! May go to the river or creek after work or on weekends. Dogs are allowed on couch for cuddles. I have a doggy door so dogs can go outside as needed. All doors and windows are closed and locked. The backyard is fenced with nice grassy area to run around. No kids, toys, or sharp objects in house for animals to hurt themselves on.

About: I’m new to Rover but I’ve grown up around animals and love to spend time with them! I have a German shepherd and I’ve taught her everything she knows from Sit, lay down, speak, and even do a figure 8 through my legs. 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 (:
