Dog Walkers in Homeland, CA

“Very professional. Highly recommended. Her responses are prompt and clear. She provided detailed notes/pictures, and carefully followed any specific requests we had for our dog. When it was forecasted to rain, she checked with us what we wanted for the walk we had scheduled. Even when she wasn't feeling well, she still committed to the walk, which was beyond our expectations. Most importantly, I was worried about my dog not warming up to a new dog walker... however, she definitely seems to love being with Dawn :)”

“Michelle is a great dog sitter!! The dogs love her and she spoils them every day. She also always takes cute pictures of them too :) I definitely recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I moved to California exactly a year ago, and it’s been such a joy connecting with new paw-rents and their amazing animals. I bring over 8 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including kennel work, fostering, house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I previously worked for a pet care agency in Florida similar to Rover, and I take this work very seriously—every pet in my care is treated like family. What sets me apart is that I’m a student groomer, a practical animal communicator, and a passionate animal advocate. I also have an upcoming grooming internship, and my long-term dream is to become a veterinarian to help stray animals and families who can’t afford care. I’ve worked in dog daycare and absolutely loved it. I currently live with three dogs (my babies!) and two beloved rats, my soul creatures. I have a soft spot for rescue animals and often foster until they find their forever homes. I'm also open to caring for other animals besides dogs—whether it’s cats, small animals, or even the unusual! (Just no T-Rexes, please 🦖😭) I’m honest about my availability, respectful of your home, and always focused on making sure both you and your pet feel safe and supported. Every animal deserves love, dignity, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m also trilingual! I speak English, Spanish, and ASL—so feel free to reach out in the language that works best for you. I believe care should be accessible, inclusive, and heart-centered 🐾💛 My dogs & rats eat breakfast every morning at 10am, enjoy small veggie snacks around noon, and have dinner at 4pm. Their health and routine matter to me, so I carry that same care and consistency over to the pets I care for. Pet care is not just part of my routine—it’s part of who I am. My furkids are my family—so if your dog is friendly and gets along with others, I’m happy to welcome them in. I’m easygoing, but I do ask for honesty about your dog’s behavior, health issues, and whether they’re potty trained. If your dog has an accident due to anxiety, illness, or youth, that’s absolutely okay—I understand and will help however I can. But if I’m not informed ahead of time and your dog isn’t potty trained, I do charge $100/night, as it affects my home and how my own dogs behave. I’ve fostered before, raised puppies and kittens, and even cared for momma animals—so I’m flexible. What matters most to me is clear, honest communication. If we work as a team, everyone (pets included!) will be happy.

“Estefany was so kind and patient with my elderly and sometimes stubborn pup!”

“Nickie has been working with Cookie on her behavior during walks and I have seen a significant improvement! So lucky to have Nickie in our lives!”

“They showed up on time and spent a little time getting to know our dogs. They had a few treats to get acquainted with each dog and then took them on a walk. Both dogs were happy when they returned home and were appreciative of the time spent with their new walkers. My wife and I were very pleased with the service given.”

“Emily loves it when Kristy comes to walk her! Kristy does a great job of letting me know how Emily is doing. I know that Emily is in capable hands.”

“Mila loves Cyrissa and does well with her walkies (it’s surprising since she’s very wild) and we are members of Rover because of her. Thank you!”

About: I have gained lots of skills in my profession working at shelters and animal hospitals. For both, I was responsible for feeding, cleaning and grooming all the animals we housed. Even vet care if needed. So no need to worry, nothing will come to a surprise for me! I’m currently working at California Wolf Center. My time is partly taken however I am willing to alternate my schedule to whatever suits your calendar best! I have a fenced yard and a home that is open to the dog/puppy. I do have two fur babies of my own that love to play with new friends, however my attention would be fully focused on yours to ensure they are enjoying themselves while they stay with us.

About: When I think about what pets need I, of course, think of food and water, but also love and patience. What sets me apart from other sitters is my determination to provide pets with all four. As a pet owner myself I’m capable of caring for all the needs a pet has. My childhood dog, Bear, is now a senior dog and has to be taken care of in ways we never had to when he was younger. Since I live in different states now, the visit at the vet was a scary one for my mother as well as for me since. His constant cough had the vet looking at his heart and since he’s an older dog we only expected bad news. With the cough medicine they gave my mom we knew things were about to change. I helped my mom with suggestions on a few accommodations for him like adding a step stool on the side of the bed and changing his diet as well. She would explain now in the mornings she has to feed him his medication for breakfast (which she hides in a slice of Turkey so he doesn’t notice). During exercise we learned we had to make sure they were slow paced, gauging how he was feeling and taking breaks when he visibly looked tired. All these extra steps she takes every day makes me love and appreciate him even more even if it’s from a distance. Whether it be a puppy or a senior dog, whenever I’m visiting them I’m always eager to take care and show my love for them. We also have another dog, Bella, that’s a few years younger than my senior dog and I was able to train both of them to use the new doggy door we installed. It took time and patience but now they come in and out without my help. I have experience in caring for my dogs from laying out pee pads to showing them new tricks even as they get older. I realized that my mom is fortunate enough to have a schedule to be able to care for her dogs, but not everyone is the same. That’s why I want to help my community, to care for their pets especially for those with extra needs. I’m willing to meet the pets beforehand to make sure we’re a great fit! Pet care fits perfectly in both my daily and weekly routine since I would say I’ve perfected it over the years. Since installing a doggy door I didn’t have to worry about their potty breaks anymore as they go in and out freely. However before then, I worked close to home so I would feed them in the morning, let them out before work, drop in during my lunch and let them out, and after work we would go for a walk. They also learned that sitting against the sliding door was a sign they needed to go to the bathroom. For my cats, I set up specific times to feed them and I will adjust the time frames if need be. I always made time for their needs on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Providing my pets with food and water is the basic necessity I give them to show them I care for their well being. I also make sure to are up to date with their shots and vaccinations. They are groomed every month and for my previous cats who were outdoors we put a tick collar on them. Taking my dogs on walks is how I used to get them their daily exercise in and for my cats playing with them with their toys though they get plenty enough on their own with their zoomies. All my pets were already spayed/neutered before we adopted them and during the adoption process we set up their microchips. My pets have all slept indoor and have various places for them to roam, play, and sleep. I understand the importance of daily playtime therefore I devote at minimum 30 minutes a day. For my dogs I would play fetch and utilize various cat toys with catnip for my cats. I make sure to clean up after my pets both outside and inside. Cleaning their bowls and their droplets.

About: I've attended trainings with Off Leash K9 and volunteered with K9 Guardians, a non-profit organization. I am an aspiring dog handler and hoping to get my dog trainer cert. All the skills I've learned from my past mentors I apply when I pet sit. I love being surrounded by animals, especially dogs, and observing how they are fascinates me, which makes me attentive in what they do. Exercise is a big deal, as an active duty Marine, so I make sure the pups are active, getting their long walks, play time, or quick run ins. I love giving feedbacks to owners (sending photos, videos, updates) just as much as if I want to be informed if I was leaving my dog with another sitter. I am only available weekends, which is Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday, as those are the days I can have my full attention to the pups/felines. I love learning about their personalities and add training for reinforcement. I would care for any pet just as if they were my own. It would be an opportunity to share my energy and how I spoil my pup, Duke to other paw friends.

“Thank you for keeping her in the shade on this hot day! I know you always take good care of my babies!”
