About: Hi, I'm Anna. I am not your typical dog walker. I have a bachelors degree in animal science, a masters degree in applied animal behavior and welfare and a second masters degree in psychology, so I can handle anything your furbaby can throw at me! I have a wide range of experience from working with shelter dogs in Sacramento to working with cheetahs in Africa to working with sheep in Wales, and everything in between (including teaching chickens to run an obstacle course). I am here to offer a wide range of services from house sitting, pet sitting, pet training, and pet grooming. I love to work with animals to help them become the best version they can be. I can't wait to serve your family as best I can! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to devote to my true passion: taking care of animals! I am available for over night stays, drop ins, and walks. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own! I do my best to ensure a stress-free visit every time I stay with a pet.

“Cynthia has walked my dogs countless times at this point and is always so thorough in the info she provides about their walks as well as sending me priceless photos. She’s super reliable and I know my dogs look forward to their time with her!”

“Renee was punctual when we met her for the first time. She suggested walking Chase around our cul-de-sac to see how he would do, which I really appreciated. Renee was very friendly and gentle with my puppy, and Chase immediately liked her. She also came well prepared when she arrived at our home. Overall, we had a great first experience with her.”

About: Hi, I’m Dalene. From a young age, I’ve had a passion for animals, and I understand how valuable they are as a precious member of your household. I have 35 + years’ experience caring for my furry, feathered, and reptilian friends-those of my neighbors, friends, and clients. I have experience working with disabled pets, senior pets, and administering medication. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy. I prioritize reading body language, so I can identify if your pet has an illness, or is anxious and stressed, to ensure their safety, health, and happiness. Drop-in visits and dog walking: Services outside [6 miles] subject to a small travel surcharge. I have past volunteer experience working at the Monterey County SPCA, and worked mainly with the dogs, playing with them, taking them for walks, and evaluating new arrivals for adoption. It was such a rewarding job when they were adopted. I volunteered at the Monterey zoo, cleaning cages, and helped with the feeding of the monkeys, elephants, ferrets, etc. I have a crazy alligator story I will share with you if you ask! 🫣 I am a full time pet sitter, so I’ll have plenty of time for belly rubs, playing fetch, relaxing with your pets, long walks, and making sure their needs are met. I care for pets in your home where they are most comfortable, and I will provide a calm environment where they feel safe, nurtured, and loved. Each pet is unique, and I will care for them accordingly. I will send you photos of your pets throughout the day, to give you peace of mind, so you know they are happy and content. Safety is of utmost importance when it comes to your pets, and I’m aware of other dogs when out on a walk, and making sure doors and gates are closed. I will not have houseguests over. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets! 😊

About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for them, including feeding, cleaning, bathing, and walking. I also took in a stray cat, made sure she was spayed and vaccinated, and spent time researching cat behavior to better understand her needs. This helped me become very comfortable caring for cats with different personalities. I truly enjoy caring for both dogs and cats. I will treat your pets like my own—with patience, responsibility, and genuine care. I’m a senior at university with only one class left, so I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be reliable, responsive, and available to give your pets the time and attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I make sure feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks (if needed), and any special care are done exactly as requested. I take a calm and patient approach so your pet feels comfortable in their own environment. I pay attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they are doing well and not stressed. I also respect your home by keeping everything clean and organized. Before leaving, I make sure your pet is safe, doors are secured, and everything is in order. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

My main job is at a no-kill animal rescue where my prime focus is the wellness and happiness of our animals. I take care of dogs and cats of all ages and provide whatever medical care and basic necessities are needed. The main idea is to build trust with both your fur-client and their owner. Updates and pictures allow the client to feel a sense of comfort while trusting another individual with their babies life. I will offer any medical/daily care your pet needs and will go above and beyond for the safety of your fur-baby.

About: Growing up on farmland, I’ve been exposed to many different animals in many different situations. I know basic first-aid, and can handle many high pressure situations if needed. Mainly I’m experienced with cats, dogs, and much more. I’ve worked with pets and working animals. Through a school program, I was able to work with guide dogs in training for a year and found it extremely rewarding. Currently I own a cat that’s had special dietary needs for the last couple years. There isn’t much that makes me uncomfortable when it comes to animals, and I will go above and beyond to make sure pets are happy and healthy! I’m currently unemployed, looking for work, and have lots of time on my hands! I’m able to prioritize any pet under my care for any amount of time. I’m a very relaxed caregiver. I don’t like to put any unnecessary pressure on my animals, just pets and kisses! At the same time, I have experience working with trained guide dogs through a school program. Training and corrective behaviors aren’t foreign to me, and can be implemented at the owner’s request.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs since I was a baby, I find pets to be an extension of the family and I treat them like my own child. Pets are definite bright spots in our lives and deserve nothing but the best treatment for what they do for us. I am a college student and avid gym goer/bike rider, so when I'm not busy improving myself I would definitely make time to take care of someone's fur baby. Due to having cats in our home and a socially anxious English Labrador Retriever, I do not offer services in my home out of respect for my pets. However when it comes to a client's home, I will definitely keep your pets entertained and wanting me to come take care of them again! I offer excellent belly rubbing services.

About: I’ve been watching for and taking care of dogs for the past two years. It started as dog walking for fun and turned into doggy day and overnight care! I’m working part time three days a week at most currently. Leaving much time to spend with your pets ! I am home most of the day as well so they would be constantly with someone. I have a large yard with grass that is fenced in at my house as well as multiple crates depending upon the size of your dog. In addition to this the house itself is spacious, allowing me to be accommodating of dogs all sizes.

About: For the past 8 years, my daughter has been working with a rescue, fostering dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’ve been by her side every step of the way, helping care for each one. Through the years, I’ve gained so much experience and joy being around these amazing pups. They’ve filled our home with love while they wait to find their forever families, and every one of them has left a paw print on our hearts. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. From morning walks and mealtime to play sessions and cuddles, I make sure every pet feels loved and secure. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a relaxing evening stroll, I prioritize their comfort and happiness just like I would with my own. Caring for animals has become a joyful and meaningful part of my everyday life. When I care for pets in someone’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Being in their familiar environment helps them feel safe and relaxed, and I do everything I can to make sure they’re comfortable and happy while their family is away.

“Natalie did a great job caring for and walking our 3 dogs! She always spent extra time making sure they got their energy out and had attention and love while we were at work. I definitely recommend her for dog walking and care services.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since 2015 and have hands-on experience working in a professional dog training and daycare facility. Through that environment, I gained experience handling a wide range of personalities,from high-energy breeds to anxious or shy dogs, and learned the importance of structure, consistency, and reading behavior cues. I’ve also provided in-home dog sitting for multiple families over the years, and I’m currently an active volunteer with a local animal rescue in Fresno. Dogs tend to warm up to me quickly, and I prioritize calm, attentive care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. Please note that new clients for over night stays are required to have a meet and greet before booking to ensure safety for both myself and the client/dogs. I’m a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention for dogs. On the rare occasion when I have a fully booked day, I make arrangements to ensure their needs are met, whether that’s a mid-day potty break or extra attention when I’m home. I provide attentive, calm care in clients’ homes. I’m trustworthy, experienced, and dogs warm up to me quickly, ensuring their comfort and safety while you’re away.

“John was amazing! He was so kind to us and to our dog Penny. Penny was very nervous at first but John didn’t give up and stayed with her until she was comfortable, and she soon came to love him! He was always prompt and sent us many updates in the form of thorough reports, videos, and excellent photos. John also gave us training tips and after 3 days, Penny went from pulling non-stop to a very pleasant walking buddy. I was so relieved to have our dog in such good, caring hands.”
