1. Sarah T.
“I don’t really know Sarah as much as my doggo (Miss Molly) does. Molly is normally shy when we are out of town and doesn’t eat her food as much. But Sarah lets Molly do fun neighborhood walks - enough for Molly to (ah hem) eliminate as needed on Molly’s schedule and want to eat. Sarah provides cute videos of what Molly is doing or experiencing in their walks. Makes me feel good when I miss my fur baby! Sarah is my go-to for a Molly companion.”

4. Joana Gillian D.
About: Hello! Im Joana. I’ve been around animals all my life. My first pet was a rescue dog named Marley who was 8 years old. Since then I have always wanted to rescue and finally got to rescue my own dog 2 years ago. She is now 4 years old and is an Australian shepherd named Maple. I do have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and rescue dogs. I currently work full time in healthcare and work night shifts. I have my scheduled shifts out months in advance, which makes scheduling easier for you and me. I can work with the random crazy hours, that is something I am used to. I live in an apartment with my dog. It is completely gated. I am willing to sit in the clients home as well and offer drop in visits.

7. Brooklyn M.
About: Hi, my name is Brooklyn and I have been working at a dog walker for a few years. I am a 20 year old college student getting ready to transfer to CSUS. My schedule is pretty open and I can do walks, drop ins or over nights depending on your needs. I am looking at careers working with kids and animals and can't decide yet because I love them both. I love working as a dog walker/sitter because I get to meet a lot of different pets. I currently work as a Dog Walker/House Sitter. I have clients who I see during the week and love doing this full time while I am in school. It started originally because I would get asked by my neighbors who would watch me walking my dogs. From there it grew and I found I really loved taking care of pets. I take care of my pet clients the same way I take care of my own. Pets are cherished family members and I love making pets feel safe while their families are away or giving them a break during the day for a walk. I find my jobs really fulfilling.

About: I’ve owned many fur babies growing up and taken care of almost every breed . My grandpa used to bring dogs home we found on the side of the road and nurse them back up for a home to take them in. Needless to say my love for dogs came from him . Friends and family have asked me to dog sit and walk . Some would even call me the dog whisper !:) I’m currently on break so my availability is almost every day ! I can put my full time effort into your fur babies without being distracted by any other responsibilities No pets are allowed at my apartment with out recent vaccinations records on file. I can come to you instead and we can discuss details . I don’t mind dog sitting at your house or going on long long walks.
9. Anna W.
About: I’ve been taking care of my pets since I was very young. I have always been surrounded by animals and I love them so much. I’ve dealt with dogs ranging from 7 months to 15 years old. I work part time so I can go to school and study psychology. My schedule tends to be pretty flexible and I am willing to switch around my schedule to make things work, and I’m a fast communicator. I care for my pets by taking the dogs on a walk, feeding them, giving them baths when necessary and taking them out for potty breaks. We play in the backyard and run around. I love to shower them with treats when they’re well behaved. As for my cats, I clean the litter box and I feed them, and I occasionally brush their fur, as it can get tangled. We play a little, as much as the cats want to, and then we snuggle up and relax.

13. Erin M.
About: I absolutely love animals. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since childhood but have added all sorts of creatures since having kids. Whenever we have a family event, bbq, dinner party etc, I’m always sure to include “all pups welcomed” because you better believe, they always are. I’ve trained pups, fostered, adopted, pet-sit and walked my fair share and looking forward to doing even more here. I work full time and remotely from home with very flexible hours. I make my own schedule and can always make time to take care of things. I have a fenced yard and can crate if needed and/or requested. I have a dog at home who is playful and is also a supremely great napper and she’s great at keeping other dogs company or letting them do their thing. My kiddos are 10 & 14 and absolutely adore animals too… the apples didn’t fall far. ;)

17. Victoria F.
About: Hello! I’m Victoria. I absolutely love all animals, but especially dogs. I grew up with two yellow labs for 14 years, and took care of them often when my parents were out of town. Once I got older, around 3 years ago I began dog sitting for family friends as well as families that I met through babysitting. I love taking care of dogs they bring me so much joy and I hope you consider me to take care of your furry friend!:) I get my work schedule typically two weeks ahead of time, and work about 20 hours a week so I can absolutely adjust my schedule and make it my own when it comes to bringing dog sitting into the mix! Always give all of my attention to your pup or cat and play with them keep them having as much fun as possible as well as cuddles of course:)

“Ashlin did a great job walking my dog for a couple of weeks and my dog loved her! Ashlin was able to properly manage/handle my dog who can be reactive on leash to other dogs. I highly recommend Ashlin.”
19. Ganna S.
About: Hello, my name is Anna. I am a certified dog trainer with a degree in animal psychology. I grew up in a family of doctors and veterinarians, so I have always loved animals since childhood, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. For many years, I volunteered in shelters while studying at the university and decided that I wanted not only to understand but also to train dogs. This gives me the opportunity to change the lives of both people and dogs for the better. Perhaps I don't speak English very well to communicate like native, but I know practically everything about dogs, and I am confident that I will become the best friend for your pet! I will also gladly help you with behaviour training for your dog or simply share my knowledge as advice. I adore dogs, and every day of mine starts not with coffee, but with taking care of my fluffy friends. We go for walks, play in the yard, always train or repeat commands we already know. Then it's time for breakfast and a short rest. I love coming up with puzzles and brain teasers so that dogs not only chase balls but also develop their logic and sense of smell. I have a lot of original games that your dogs will love from the first try. I work online from home or conduct training sessions 5 minutes away from my house, so I'm rarely away from home not more than 2 hours. But even if I need to go out for training, your dogs won't be left alone my family will take care of them. For the safety of your pets, cameras are installed in our house and yard for surveillance. Our yard is fenced and has additional fencing and gates to prevent your dogs from accidentally escaping. Also, there are many trees and shade in our yard, allowing us to spend more time outside in hot weather. We have several shallow pools for dogs, so even if your dog doesn't like to swim, they can still play in the water by standing or lying in it. And for those dogs who are afraid of water, it's a great opportunity to get acquainted with it and make friends. We carefully monitor the temperature in our house to ensure that your pets are not too hot in summer or too cold in winter.

“Kelsey is our "go to" dog sitter when we are out of town. She is loving, playful, but always in command of our dog. I feel 100% confident about leaving our dog in her hands. Julie C.”
