Dog Walkers in Hughes Place, CA

About: I’ve worked with animals my entire life, but especially in the last 5 years. While taking care of other people’s beloved pets ranging from young to senior pets, I’ve also always had dogs, cats, and other animals of my own. I’m currently a student with a sparse schedule so I will have plenty of time to take care of your beloved animals :) I’m available weekdays and weekends! I have no problems crating animals if needed, along with staying with them outside, taking them on walks, and I’ve worked with reactive dogs in the past.

“Ted went on his walk. We came home the following morning and it is clear he was well taken care of!”

“Taylor did a wonderful job walking our two dogs. She was prompt and reliable. She came everyday and took our 8 month old golden doodle to the school playground and threw the ball for her so she could run around. She came every other day and took our 8 year old mix for a walk. She was great. She communicated with me and let me know how the dogs were doing. She helped think of a plan that was the best for the dogs. I will totally use her in the future when I need dog walking/playing services. I feel fortunate to have found her. Thanks Taylor!”

About: As an enthusiastic pet lover with a full-time job at a pet store and the proud owner of two adorable cats, I have immersed myself in the world of pet care for years. Growing up with dogs has instilled a deep understanding of canine behavior, while my feline companions have given me unique insights into the needs and quirks of our feline friends. This combined experience allows me to cater to both dogs and cats with the utmost love, attention, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around your pet’s comfort—ensuring regular potty breaks every 4–8 hours, meals on time, play sessions, and lots of affection. Whether it’s a short visit or a longer stay, I make sure your pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for. Compassion First: I treat every pet like family, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness. Experience Counts: My experience at a pet store and as a multi-pet owner has taught me how to handle a wide range of behaviors, dietary needs, and situations—whether it’s picky eating, anxiety, or energetic zoomies. Tailored Care: I adapt to each pet’s routine, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, administer medications, or work with special needs pets.

My eldest Yorkie dog died 5 years ago and it broke our hearts. We have her urn on our mantel. I made a promise along with my 28 year old daughter to care for other dogs in her memory. I thought this would be a great way to start. I love pets and am willing to extend that love to others pets. Please make sure that your dogs get along with other dogs. As you know I have one small dog. I do not cage dogs unless the client wants their pet crated. All dogs and cats sleep inside. My home is very clean so I am constantly cleaning after the pets.

About: I’m here to help make sure your pet(s) are cared for when you have a busy day or week. Can’t take your furry friend on vacation? No problem! I can help you out :) If your pet has special requirements, just let me know & I will make sure they feel supported. I have been caring for animals since I can remember... and in the past 15 years started caring for the pets of family, friends, and clients. I have experience with both large and small breeds. Caring for pets fits well with my lifestyle; I enjoy taking pups for walks outside. It’s also a fun break in the day to drop in for a care visit & give your pets some time and attention. When house sitting, I like to make sure your pet gets exercise earlier in the day. This helps improve their mood, appetite, and overall behavior while their usual human is away. We’ll stick to the house rules like mealtimes & furniture preferences, but I mighttt sneak an extra treat in here and there (unless you request I refrain from spoiling.)

I'm flexible & happy to visit your doggies whenever is best for their schedule I will gladly send you picture and video updates of your sweet doggie! I also am happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending. extra time for snuggle sessions while I'm there!

About: I’ve always been around animals my whole life. I walked and took care of dogs and always had cats growing up. I volunteered for a year at a shelter for dogs. I am available Thursday, Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I will be busy from until I get off work but I have an open schedule. I have two friendly cats. I live in a small apt with my boyfriend and he also loves all animals. Both the cats don’t mind other animals.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart as I have had several dogs since I was born that were all well loved. I offer loving, reliable care with plenty of play, cuddles, and attention to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a walk, a weekend stay, or just some company while you're away, I treat every animal like my own. With experience, patience, and a calming presence, your pets will be in safe, happy hands if you decide to choose me to be your sitter. I currently have a lot of availability as I am not in school, but without a job. Thursdays I dont have any method of transportation other than walking or biking so I will only accept walking distance jobs on those days. I'm available any time between 10am and 7pm for non-overnight jobs. When caring for someones fur baby, I make sure to follow the owner's instructions carefully, keeping the pet’s routine consistent. I provide fresh food and water, ensure plenty of playtime, walks, or cuddles depending on their needs, and keep their environment clean and safe. I also send regular updates and photos to reassure the owner. Most importantly, I treat their pet as if they were my own, giving them love, patience, and attention throughout my stay.

“Rachel did an absolutely great job! She’s professional, fun and personable. She went above and beyond while taking care of our dogs. And the dogs were smiling in every photo she sent while I was away!!”

About: I’ve had family dogs my entire life (usually Great Danes or labs), I fostered a litter of puppies in college (that was a learning experience for sure), and then got my own dog, Chewy, 3 years ago. I have always loved having a furry friend around and am constantly taking chewy on walks to get him some fresh air and exercise. I think it’s important for animals to have a satisfying level of mental and physical stimulation in their day to day. If your schedule doesn’t allow for this and I can help you achieve it, i would LOVE to meet you and your fur baby! I work full time Monday-Friday from 8-5 pm in Chico. I take my dog out for walks after work everyday and would love to have yours join! I have weekends off and am available for sitting those days. If you are looking for drop ins, I can do that locally during the week on my lunch breaks or anytime on the weekends :) I can adhere to any guidelines you have for your fur baby in your house. I would require you provide the leash for your dogs walks and food to match their normal diet for sitting and drop ins. Other than that, I hav plenty of toys I can bring and if you would like, I have my own dog that I can bring for a play date or walks to keep you pup extra entertained and Comfortable!

About: Currently have a dogs and a cat. Was up to 8 cats and 2 dogs after rescuing a litter of and an single orphane. I also rescued my own dog as well after she was abandoned by a friends roommate. I have had animals all my life as well. Even farm animals due to participating in FFA I can help continue house, crate, leash, etc. train while i care for them. I am not a certified trainer but I've gone through training with my own and feel comfortable implementing your routine while watching your pet. I can also bathe animals if needed I work full time outdoors and have a 5 yr old son I have about 75% of the time. I am available evenings during the work week and every single weekend. My life is work and home, and when I'm home I'm always looking for a reason to be out of the house. Between months of November 2023 to January 2024 I will have a wide open schedule while my company reorganizes I believe any proper teaching, training, caring or interacting is done through positive reinforcement. Following your house rules and understanding the needs of your pup is important
