Dog Walkers in Hetch Hetchy Junction, CA

“As reluctant as I was to allow a stranger to come into my home, I was that much more hesitant to allow a stranger to walk my three dogs, in the end I knew I had no other choice but to hire someone due to my work schedule. While searching I came across Jef’s profile and I decided to go with him in booking dog walking for my three dogs. Jef even came to meet my dogs before he was to begin walking them the following day. From the initial message to the first time meeting, Jef maintained great communication and updated me each day after their walks. Jef definitely has something about him that made my dogs very comfortable around him. He quickly gained their trust and vice versa. Jef is also very persistent and knowledgeable in training dogs and helping to improve any bad leash habits. I will definitely be booking Jef for any future needs and I would definitely recommend him to anyone with pets.”

My journey as an animal enthusiast and companion spans across my life. Growing up, I've shared my home with a diverse range of animals, from playful puppies to spirited teenage dogs, and even wise senior canine citizens. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but has also provided me with a comprehensive understanding of their needs and behaviors at every life stage. With my part-time job and flexible schedule, pet care easily fits into my routine. I make sure to stick to a regular feeding and walking schedule, and I use my free time to play and bond with my pet. Grooming and vet appointments are scheduled during my available hours, ensuring my furry friend gets the attention they need. This balanced approach helps me provide the best care for my pet while managing my work commitments. I've established a solid routine for looking after pets at clients' homes and during walks or drop-ins. Alongside ensuring they have proper food, water, exercise, and playtime, I'm careful to adhere to any specific guidelines provided by the pet owners. This can involve tasks like giving medications, sticking to their regular schedule, and creating a secure setting. I also maintain open communication with clients to foster trust and guarantee the well-being, happiness, and health of their pets.

“Kinny was incredible with our dogs! She sent plenty of photos and was diligent with communicating all details of the walk! She would be my first choice next time we’re in mammoth!”

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

I currently have two cats and two rabbits of my own so I know how important it is that your pets get the proper care and attention.

Luckily for you that means that I am available every day of the week, excluding a few hours on Sundays for church but I can happily still make sure your pets aren’t alone for the rest of the day. I have my phone with myself more often than not so please reach out anytime. Whatever your preferences are for your pets I am happy to accommodate! I am very active and love to play with animals that like to play or chill with those that are more laid back. Your pets are important to you and I pride myself on being someone that you can be confident and comfortable with having your pets in good hands.

I’ve had experiences with animals almost my whole life and I have a dog of my own. My dog, Riley, is a 7 year old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix. He goes to Grandma’s when I am housesitting!

About: I've got 23 years of veterinary technician experience as well as petsitting experience. I also worked for an organization that rescues Cocker Spaniels for 3 years. I was the manager and I took care of 25 dogs at a time as well as 2 horses, 2 goats, 2 pigs, 4 roosters, and a feral cat colony. I fed all the animals, cleaned their living quarters, picked up the yards, bathed as well as shave them if needed, nail trims, sanitary clips, administered medications of all types, did basic training with them, went to vet appointments if needed, laundry, and walked them. Being in the veterinary field has been a blessing for many clients whom have hired me to care for their furry babies because I am more attune at things many people may not notice. Clients are very grateful for that knowledge. I also water plants and clean houses and bring in mail for overnight stays. I am currently a stay at home mom with lots of time to spare. I've always juggled pet care and my family with no issues. I follow the instructions the client gives me no matter what. If they want the dog to wear a harness while.out for walks, then that's what I will do. If they don't want the dog left unattended outside even though they have a fenced in yard, then I'll stay out with them for as long as needed. I always do a parameter check to make sure there are no holes in the ground for the dog to have access to escape.

“Sabrina is amazing with my dogs! And they are amazing with her! I almost don't want to send this cuz then she'll be less available.”

About: I have been owned by cats and dogs in the past. I recently transferred with my job from the East Coast to Utah, and now reside in Northern California and currently frequent the Humane Society to visit with the cats and dogs waiting for homes. Pet Sitting - I am able to walk them/feed in the mornings and after 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Thursday - Sundays more frequently. I do prefer overnight pet sitting. I am reliable, responsible and have a "knack" with most pets. I do need to know about any behavioral issues (likes to chew on things that aren't their toys for example). Do they do well with new people? I prefer not to sit pit bull terriers, but mixed breeds I don't have a problem with.

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 4 years now. I have had dogs since I was a child, but have been fostering and caring for animals for about 4 years now. I am patient and Cat and Dog First Aid training from American Red Cross. I am currently working part-time, I have time to take on walks, stop by and play, or even feed meals if needed for the pooch. I have a fully fenced in backyard. I have 4 dogs that are all dog friendly, but have their own area of the backyard and are crate trained. My babies are all vaccinated and are on flea and tick medicine. My dogs will most likely be kept separate from your fur babies.

About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.

About: I’m Emma, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of pet sitting for friends, neighbors, family, and referrals—looking after everything from playful pups and snuggly cats to chickens, bunnies, and even someones 4-H ducks. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, feeding, or simply keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to feel at ease knowing your furry (or feathered!) family members are safe, happy, and loved.I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced with pets of all personalities. I’d love the chance to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I currently am a full time student I attend college from 9am-2:20pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. My commute one way to campus is roughly an hour and fifteen minutes. I regularly house sit for people on weekends but am hoping to do it more regularly. If your pet is an eloper I’ll make sure to keep all doors shut and be mindful when walking in and out to not let them out. I have plenty of experience with scooping dog poop and cleaning kitty litter. I have a client who gave me a key to keep for if they are ever out of town due to an emergency I can be able to get in to care for their pets that is how trust worthy I am. The client is also not a neighbor or friend.
