Dog Walking in Grande, Davis, CA

About: I have a ton of experience working with a variety of dogs, ranging from puppies to senior, lazy to high maintenance, etc. My life revolves around my pets, and I am eager to share that passion with yours. I have a lot of experience with senior care as well-my pup requires a lot of at home treatments in her final months of life. I'm currently a PhD student, getting my degree in animal welfare, so I have relatively flexible hours. I don't have a set work schedule, so let me know what works best for you and I can likely work around that :) my day to day already revolves around my pet, and has for basically all of my adult life. I have a fenced yard, fully baby-proofed house, and pet-experienced roommates. My cat is my only current pet, and he is good with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.

I promise to treat your fur baby like my own and I can’t wait to meet you! I work part time so I can walk and care for your pets regularly, giving them all of the attention they need in the morning, midday, and night. I am very detail oriented so I will be able to give your pet quality care as well as ensure they are safe in their environment. I have my own dog and want to treat every pet the way I would want others to treat my Daisy Duke.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 17, spent the night at houses with animals, provided walks, food, baths and playtime. Many clients have asked me back. I have worked with both cats and dogs. I also grew up with cats and dogs and know how to care for them well. I am currently on summer break here in Davis with a pretty open schedule. Please reach out and we can coordinate a time that works with both of us! A clean and safe environment that is comfortable for both the animals and myself. Has parking, preferably fenced for extra safety, neighbors who are willing to communicate with me.

About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered before for a rescue. I’ve also been providing boarding service for my friends with at least 6 dogs, pictures are included in my profile. All the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. I’ve successfully taking care of 5 dogs at one time including two puppies. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home. For safety reasons, dogs will stay in the crate when humans are not around but they can be on furniture once humans are presented.

About: With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and volunteering at the YCAS shelter in Woodland, I offer a level of knowledge and calm that goes beyond basic pet sitting.

I have 13 years of experience in both Western and Eastern medicine for large and small animals. I know how important it is to make sure your animal is having the best time with their sitter and that they look forward to it! I am an animal communicator and facilitate quantum energy healing sessions for animals as my life purpose. My schedule is flexible. Taking care of my animals is my daily life. I have managed ranches with dog care, horse boarding and a therapeutic equine program for children. Years later I am still living my passion for keeping animals happy and healthy.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life — I have 3 dogs and 2 cats now, and I’ve raised everything from ducks to horses. I grew up with dogs, hatched and cared for ducks, and worked as a ranch hand, so I’m confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or farm animals, I bring calm energy, patience, and lots of love. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time during the week to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. I don’t offer boarding, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I know how important it is for animals to feel safe and relaxed in their own space, and I’ll make sure their routine is followed, their needs are met, and they get plenty of love while you’re away.

About: I grew up with a bird and dog, and a cat was recently added to the family (I do not live with any pets currently). I backpack trained the cat, made toys and fortresses for the cat, took the dog on walks and hikes, whistled to the bird, and gave all the animals as many pets as I can! I've additionally done lots of pet sitting over the years for friends and family: cats, small dogs, medium dogs, rats, mice, aquariums, and insects. I don't mind reptiles either! I have a flexible schedule, spare for Thursdays when I have class (but still available for evenings after 6pm). I am willing to wake up early or stay up late for the job. I make sure to take things slow when needed in order to prevent stress for the animals. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding and cleaning. And I try to engage with the animals as much as possible when they are up for it. There is a tendency to be more easy going but I amp up the energy for playtime and walks. I like to walk in general, so I can go far for those higher energy dogs!

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and the years of hands-on experience I’ve had caring for them. I grew up in a pet-loving household where caring for dogs (and other animals!) was part of daily life—from energetic puppies to aging senior dogs who needed extra patience and care. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all temperaments. Whether your pup needs long walks, medication, or just some belly rubs and companionship, I bring both knowledge and heart to the job. I treat every dog as if they’re my own and take the time to understand their unique needs and personalities. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities—and I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and peace of mind while you’re away! I currently have a flexible, remote position, and am happy to work around the schedule of others! Let me know what your pets' needs are, and I am sure I can work it into my schedule :) My top priority is making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved—whether they’re in my home or I’m in theirs. I adapt my care based on each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk times to special care like medications or crate training. I know how important consistency is, and I aim to make your pet feel like I’m just part of the usual routine. I also make sure to keep the space clean and respectful—your home is treated with the same care I’d give my own. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, welcoming space that’s pet-friendly and safe. I ensure dogs have plenty of time for exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I limit exposure to unfamiliar pets and follow any special requirements—whether that’s slow introductions, quiet spaces for anxious pups, or keeping to a strict medication schedule. Above all, I give pets the individual attention they deserve and keep you updated regularly with messages and photos so you feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and I’ve always had a passion for helping them. I used to pet sit for neighbors often when I was younger. I have a particular love for cats, and I would do anything for them! It can be hard to find a person to watch your cat or even exotic pet, but that’s what I’m aiming to help people with! I have almost 6 years of clinical animal care technician and shelter experience so I am well trained with animals with medical issues. I have worked with pets of all kinds and all ages with different needs. I have done everything from bottle feeding to giving senior animals insulin or whatever else they may need. I am Fear Free certified as well. I recently moved to the area and am looking for work. Caring for pets is what I know and love. If I get a more steady job, my availability may lessen. I understand that pets can be confused by new people coming into their home to take care of them, but I am well versed in animal behavior and would never do anything to make your pet uncomfortable. I will take the time to get to know your pet and assist them with whatever they may need. I currently do not live in a situation where I can petsit other people’s pets in my own home unfortunately.

About: I’ve been lucky to spend most of my life around animals - growing up with three amazing dogs gave me over 15 years of hands on experience, and I now have two sweet cats of my own (one of whom has asthma, so I’m also experienced with administering medication using an AeroKat). I love spending time with animals and believe in meeting each one where they’re at - whether that means a high energy walk, some playtime, or just quiet companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and routine. Whether you're out for the day or a longer trip, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule to stop by and care for your pet during the day - also available for overnights. Happy to follow instructions on how to care for your pet's specific needs - available to help with medication and have experience working with asthmatic cats.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats as well as family and friends’ furry family members since I can remember. In the last 6 years, I have begun walking and sitting professionally. I love to take pups on long walks and run with them when owner-approved. I am always looking to help with training during my visits using the same commands and techniques as you do for the most consistent outcomes for pets and pet parents. I am always punctual and I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry friend :) I work from home so I am able to stay over as needed for pet sitting and can care for any pets and let them out as needed throughout the day while working my day job Thursday - Monday. I walk dogs and make drop-in visits in my off time after work at 5:30pm and during my lunch break so I do leave for periods of time during sittings with your permission. I always ask how long a pet can be left alone to ensure your pet receives the time commitment you request. I also love to fill my days off Tuesday and Wednesday with plenty of walks and visits. I am unable to host furry friends at home right now due to restrictions at my apartment, but am happy to provide care at your residence.
