Dog Walkers in Hardwick, CA

“Aviana is amazing!! Bodhi is on ear medication right now and she administered it no problem even though it wasn’t part of the walk technically”

About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth and began actively helping care for cats and dogs at age 6. I’ve cared for pregnant stray cats and fostered their newborn kittens to young adulthood and beyond. I’ve both raised and helped train dogs from birth as well as caring for elderly pups. I’ve seen animals at all stages of life and cared for them at all stages of life, both cat and dog. I am active and love to walk so if that’s your dog we’ll get along great! I also love relaxing while drinking tea, reading, or gardening, so if your fur baby is a bit on the calmer side or elderly they’ll get plenty of rest, cuddles, and love. I work part-time but I walk/bike daily and have the majority of my days free to walk, play, and love on sweet fur baby’s. I miss having animals in my home and would love to help you with yours! I have a good size fenced-in backyard and am not too worried about little (or big) paws on my furniture. There's room to play either inside or out, a quiet neighborhood to walk in, and a park a few minutes away. If your companion is crate trained I do have my own crates if that is something you need/are interested in. I have had to care for sick as well as elderly babies, both dogs, and cats, so if your pet needs certain accommodations or extra attention I have some experience in working with those that need a little extra help.

About: Animal care is my absolute passion and it's a goal of mine to earn licensure as a vet technician! I grew up on a ranch around animals big and small and for the last 4 years have been professionally pet-sitting; mostly cats and dogs but also rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds. I'm comfortable with any medication administration, special food preparation, or exercise/training requirements that your pet needs and can accommodate any requests. As a fully online student, I have complete flexibility in my day to care for your pet. I'm available daily, including weekends, and accept bookings same-day. I also accept drop in/house sitting requests for most small animals including rodents and reptiles. I have no animals of my own so your pets will have my complete attention and the house to themselves. My apartment complex has plenty of green grass and wildlife for enrichment walks and play, and my home has sunny windows for sunbathing. Safety, trust, and comfortability are my ultimate priorities and I would care for your pets/home the same way I would want someone to care for mine.

About: Hi! I’m Maria, a lifelong dog lover with 8+ years of professional experience caring for pups of all sizes and stages of life. I offer dog walking, overnight stays, and drop-in visits, all with the goal of giving your dog the love, attention, care they deserve, and giving you peace of mind while you're away. I ran a dog walking and sitting business in Los Angeles for nearly a decade, have volunteered at local shelters, and even worked as a bather in a dog salon. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet 5 year old Bernese Mountain dog. I have extensive hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, and large breeds. Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight care, you can count on me to treat your pup like family! As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule and can give your pup personalized attention, regular updates with photos, and a safety-first mindset. I genuinely love what I do and seeing dogs happy, relaxed, and having fun brings me joy. I treat your home as if it were my own. When booking an overnight stay your dog will get the best cuddles and care to give you peace of mind.

“Zoie was wonderful! She was prompt, friendly, and very attentive to my dogs. I booked a 30-minute walk, but she noticed that my senior dogs were already tired after about 15 minutes due to the heat. She reached out right away to check in and thoughtfully recommended taking them home rather than pushing them past their comfort level. I really appreciated her communication and genuine care for my dogs’ well-being. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.”

“Kind, communicative, & excellent with my chaotic boy. I'm a firm believer that you can usually tell if someone is not a great person by how dogs respond to them. My dog IMMEDIATELY went up to her and was SOOO excited for her attention! She also got a solid walk in during the time frame! Definitely recommend.”

About: I’m currently in college to be a nurse. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, from goats, chickens, and ducks to dogs and cats. I’m excited to be able to meet new pets and spend time with them. My schedule is pretty open, as I only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday and every other day I’m free. I’m willing to take care of your pet on the weekends as well. I ensure that all the pets that I have taken care of have the proper food and water they need, as well as get a source of exercise whether it’s a walk or play time, and that they also get lots of cuddles.

“Keryn has been walking my puppy, Sadie, daily and for special events, for about 1.5 months. She's a fantastic walker -- reliable, communicative, and loving with my "shy to new people" doggy. I highly recommend Keryn.”

About: Hello, my name is Zoey and I am 22 years old. A little bit about me is I love children and pets alike and will treat both the same. I’m aspiring to become an elementary school teacher and I have a 6 year old daughter and a 7 month old babygirl! I have always been around animals growing up, I had 6 dogs in my house growing up and my grandma was a crazy cat lady who constantly had strays hanging around. I have one cat named Mainfluff who is as gentle as a baby but he mostly stays outside. I also have a male golden retriever pup named Moose and a female doberman pup named Ash! I will love your pet (s) as if they were my own! I am a mother to a 6 year old girl and a 7 month old babygirl. I work at a school so I’m off for the summer but I do have to do school drop off and pick up for my 6 year old. I love animals and based on your pet and their needs, I will adapt to meet them. I am completely okay with walks, outside time, park visits, car rides, baths, etc. I will play with them as much as you or they want and I am perfectly fine with cuddling on them as if they were mine!

“Alli is reliable, kind, and knows her dog breeds. I have a high energy/ quirky Aussie and he took to Alli immediately! She has such a calming energ and clearly is very comfortable with animals. Even better, she’s great at communicating and sending updates. Highly recommend Alli”

“Aly was a huge help while my wife and I went out of town for two weeks and our 90lb energetic Irish Setter needed to expend some energy while my mother who would have had a difficult time walking him was dog sitting. Thank you for the walks every day! Would easily recommend Aly’s services and will book again!”

About: We are a couple that both grew up in a home full of animals from small dogs all the way to large dogs, cats, and even sheep. We have helped friends and family care for their pets for many years. Hayden is a student athlete and Lauryn is a part time swim instructor if you want a strong, respectable, couple to care for your pets then we are a great fit. We have availability through the week and weekends and our schedules are flexible. Hayden is in summer training for football and has afternoons available and Lauryn has days off from work through the week. I cater to every pets needs and love playing, walking, or even relaxing with your pets all day. Your pets will always be in great hands with me as I will never disappoint you or your pet(s).

About: I’ve taken care of family pets all of my life. My experience includes exercise and playtime according to schedule, including walking, dog park and fetch. Feed and water according to schedule and dietary restrictions. Meet and greet with owner and animals including review of animals daily/nightly routine, dietary restrictions, exercise routine, playtime, emergency contact and veterinarian information. Pet care would fit perfectly in my weekly routine. I’ll be available most times of the week and weekends. This would be the perfect part time or full time job for me. I care for my client’s pets in their home. I will care for your animal as if it’s my own and per your personal preference.

About: I grew up with dogs- Huskies and German Shepard. Also grew up with cats- mostly Siamese. I’m very active and love running and long walks if you’re pup is for it! I have an eager almost six year old son who loves to help out and is very gentle with pets. I’m a teacher, so I’m available weekends, all the long holiday breaks, and all summer. I can do during the work week as well, but am gone 7.5 hours! My son is wanting a dog and I’m looking for any excuse to get outdoors and moving as much as possible, so I figured dog walking and sitting would be perfect for our little family. We have some big goals for our little family as well and would love the opportunity to earn your business and help us accomplish those :) We don’t discriminate against cats and would love to watch them as well. I live in a pet friendly community and can sit in my all hardwood floor three bedroom townhome that has a dog park on site. During the school year, I am gone for 7.5 hours during the day, so please keep that in mind if you need boarding on weekdays when school is in session :) A few musta for doggies in our home- they must be house trained, they must be okay home alone for the workday (unless during a holiday week or summer), in which case they must be okay independently for up to 5 hours. Dogs cannot be temperamental or whine/bark when left alone out of respect for neighbors and their own well being :)
