Dog Walking John Sam Lake

“Rachael is great with our 2 dogs. They can be a handful but Rachael has the patience and calmness to manage them. My golden chow mix who is usually apprehensive of new people warmed up to her right away. She was able to stop in and take the dogs out on short notice for me when I sprained my ankle. Very helpful. I would recommend!”

About: With over 6 years of pet care experience, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own, so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands. I'm currently working pier diem, so I can set my hours and change my days off which works wonders when it comes to watching your furry pet! I have a fenced yard, and a very friendly pup! I can take them potty as much as they need, keep them on your schedule you have at home, and they will get plenty of walks and playtime!

“On time and took great care of my boy!”

About: I have been involved with various animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and exotics. Recently I worked as a vet tech at a veterinary office so I have experience administering medication to cats, dogs, and horses. Most recently I worked at a dog boarding facility where I watched, fed, walked, trained, gave medication, and bathed, up to 50 dogs at a time. I am happy to work with you around your schedule and habits with your pets. I strive to make life easier for pet owners while ensuring their pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs and your pet’s routine. The only times I may be unavailable are when I have occasional prior commitments. I will be respectful to your home and your pet's normal routine. I am happy to follow any guidelines you may have about your pet's food, sleeping conditions, toys, comfort, etc.

“Great job!!”

About: I love dogs and am looking to spend my free time playing with wonderful pups. Dogs are the joy of my life:). I believe that pups can teach me a lot about the simple pleasures in life. I am always spoiling pups that I meet with love and attentions that fulfills me and is appreciated by the pups themselves. I enjoy taking time out of my day to make pups feel loved, well-cared-for, and happy. I share a Shiba Inu with my friend Honza who I love more than anything. He has taught me how to be patient and kind when teaching dogs to interact positively with their surroundings. I look forward to encountering as many breeds as possible in my life so that I can understand more about what makes each dog different.

About: Hi, I'm Trisha! I have been married for a little over 5 years to my husband Shawn. I have 2 children, a 10 year old boy, named Orion, and my daughter Kaylee, who would have been 22 years old, unfortunately she passed away from a car accident in 2020. I grew up in a little country town in CA. And was raised with animals. My grandpa was a big animal lover, and we had everything from a baby bear cub to kittens. I was in FFA for 4 years and raised a pig all 4 years to sell at the fair. Shawn is from the Arlington area and was also raised with animals. He has raised everything from goats to kittens. We feel that your pets aren't just pets, but more like a child, and we know the importance of finding the right care for your Fur-Babies. A majority of the pets we have cared for have been rescue pets. The the transition for them is hard enough as it is being left at a stranger's house, and we don't want to make that transition any more difficult for them. We ask that you bring an item with them, something that they associate with you and home. Also we ask for these items as well: food, food bowl, and water bowl, bed or bedding, toys they may want to play with, treats, and of course a daily interaction log ( we want to keep them on the same routine that they are use to, or as close to it as we can) I also try and send pictures daily, but in the off chance I miss a day, I send extra shots the next day. If we sound like a good fit for you, we are always happy to set up a meet and greet at our place for introductions. (We have also taken in fur-kids without meet and greets.) Drop off and pick up are as followed: Drop Offs: before 6:30am are an additional $10.00 Pick ups: after 8pm will be an additional $1.00 per minute unless prior arrangements have been made with Shawn or myself. Also we have a $20.00 off your first booking with us, for you! (Can only be used for our services) please ask for coupon code! Have a great day. And we look forward to caring for your Fur-Babies🐱🐕🐶🐩🐺🐈 I currently work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. And Shawn works from home as an independent contractor, so your Fur-baby would always have someone with them. We live in quiet housing complex right off of Smokey Point Blvd. that gives you quick and easy access to I5. We have a 6'' fenced back yard, live at the end of a dead end street, very little traffic.

About: I've lived with animals all my life, and have looked after my family's pets occasionally. I am an all around animal lover, I'm professional and dependable, and I'm great at following directions. I have some trips planned for the coming future, so a few stretches of time will be unavailable. I will be very transparent and communicative with prospective clients about my schedule. Feel free to ask me for details! I will be respectful and conscientious when inside all clients' homes, and will do everything in my ability to keep your pet comfortable in their own routines and habits.

About: I have always had dogs and currently have bunnies too. I volunteer one morning a week at the animal shelter when I'm physically able. I have trained six of my own. Also enjoy creating enrichment and providing interaction for those who benefit from it. Happy to give your pets company for a short while. I am available to do drop-ins for up to an hour or two in the mornings or early afternoons including a potty break. Depending on the dog and the day, longer walks may be available. Dependent on demeanor, I can provide company outside or inside with as much attention requested, a short walk, or play session. Automatically thresholds will be respected for exposure to triggers. On-leash will include practicing loose-leash walking, lots of sniffing, and some impulse control. Play will include the toys and/or treats provided at the pups home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid I love playing with dogs and getting to know them I also love taking dogs on walks I’m currently working full time I’m available on sundays and Mondays and Tuesday through Saturday after 7 pm sometime I do work early from 630 to 3 on saturdays I don’t have room to have pets in my home but I am more than willing to come and care for your pets at your house!

About: I have grown up with and cared for dogs most of my life. I have a deep appreciation for the precious relationships we have with our furry friends. I'm your gal if your dog needs a walk while you're at work, a check in and some dinner, or some company while you're on vacation. I have a relatively flexible schedule most of the week, accepting early mornings before 8 am and Wednesdays until after 4pm. I am not able to board animals but I can house sit or swing by and check in routinely depending on need and preference. Depending on the needs of the client, I am able to walk, feed, play with, and even bathe animals provided they have the necessary equipment for use. Building a safe and respectful relationship with your animal is my topic priority.

About: I’ve had a passion for animal care since I was small. I have 2 of my own and have gained more knowledge from working in a kennel environment. I do currently have a 8-5 job throughout the week so I would prefer if drop offs/pick ups were between 7am-7:30am or after 4:30pm and on. I love taking care of dogs that I will do it outside of my employment which also entails taking care of dogs since I work in a boarding facility. I care for pets like if they were my own pets. Also following directions that the owner may have, and giving updates whether it’s a message or a photo to give the owner peace of mind while they are away.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and people in my community. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities, and I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs so they stay safe and happy. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time flexibly and doing hybrid college, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for house sitting whenever as long as I’m able to leave the house for classes and short shifts! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and secure. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, and any other care instructions the owner provides. I respect the client’s home and keep everything clean and organized while I’m there. I also give pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they stay happy while their owner is away. Communication is very important to me, so I always send updates and photos so pet parents know their pet is safe and doing well.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole childhood and my neighbors dog was twice my size and walking him was no issue. I’ve had cats my whole life and am somewhat of a whisperer. I’ve taken care of rodents as well when I had a pet rat. I am always available for any pet sitting needs. I currently don’t have a job or school lined up so I am all yours anytime of the week. I love playing with pets because it makes me feel like a kid and that’s really special. I can adapt to any process you might have to care for your pets. I am a kind and gentle soul for pets to warm up too. I have the stamina to keep up with energetic dogs aswell.

About: My 32 years' experience with pet care began at the early age of six, when my family and I took our Rottweiler puppy, Baron to weekly training classes for behavior, communication, personal and home protection. He was my best friend and amazing babysitter to my 2yo. sister (Read: 'Good Dog Carl'). And ever since then I've owned 4 dogs and a kitty before pursuing an education in the vet field. I bring several years of professional veterinary experience to pet care, including work as a Veterinary Assistant in a specialty oncology practice. I’m Fear Free Certified and comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and animals with medical needs or medication routines. My veterinary background taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, comfort, and overall well-being, while staying calm and attentive when a pet needs extra support. Just as importantly, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is to provide dependable, patient, and compassionate care that helps your pet feel safe and gives you confidence while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I tailor each day around the individual pet’s normal routine, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, companionship, and rest. I also make a point of observing behavior, appetite, energy level, and comfort so I can notice if anything seems out of the ordinary. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of consistent attention throughout the day. I tailor each visit or stay around the pet’s normal routine, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, companionship, and rest. For overnight stays, I’m happy to follow the household schedule as closely as possible so your pet’s day feels familiar and predictable. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing with a favorite toy, or just relaxing together, my goal is to make sure your pet gets the attention, activity, and companionship they’re accustomed to while you’re away. I believe the safest and least stressful care starts with respecting each pet’s normal routine, personality, and environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established feeding, walking, medication, potty, sleeping, and household routines as closely as possible. My veterinary background has made me very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy level, and comfort. I’m Fear Free Certified and comfortable working patiently with pets who may be anxious, shy, senior, or need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. For walks and outings, I prioritize secure leashing, safe handling, awareness of surroundings, and avoiding unnecessary risks or interactions. During overnight stays and pet-sitting visits, I also pay close attention to doors, gates, medications, food restrictions, and any household instructions provided by the owner. If an unexpected medical situation were to occur, I’m comfortable staying calm, assessing the situation, contacting the owner and veterinary provider, and safely handling and transporting a pet for emergency care if necessary. Above all, I want owners to feel confident that their pet, home, and established routine will be treated with care and respect.

“We had Cameron walk our boys twice a week for a few months and would highly recommend him! He was really easy to communicate with, was always on time and our dogs loved him. Would not hesitate to hire him again.”
