Dog Walking Kiesel

About: I am a passionate animal lover and a Biology major on a Pre-Veterinary path. I have lifetime experience with cats and over 4 years of experience in dog care, with dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I am well-versed in walking, cleaning-up, feeding, play, and obedience. As a devoted animal lover, I care deeply for each animal that comes my way. I recently completed an Animal Behavior and Training course (with an A+) and am knowledgeable in reading an animal's needs, as well as with Classical and Operant Conditioning. My scientific knowledge of dogs' needs and behaviors gives me a specialized insight into their care and allows me to truly connect with each animal. I also volunteer weekly at the SPCA taking the vitals of cats and dogs coming out of anesthesia. As a college student, I am pretty flexible in my availability. I am unable to conduct visits or walks on Thursdays, but any other day of the week I am certainly able to care for your pet. I am very empathetic towards each animal and make an effort to truly connect with each pet. I maintain cleanliness in my clients' homes, and thoroughly clean the feeding areas and scoop poop each day. I understand the amount of trust required to allow a stranger into your home, and I take measures to assure I leave your home exactly as I entered it.

About: Hi! I'm Susi, and my goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible, for both you and your pets. My experience comes from being a lifelong dog owner and understanding firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I know that every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and quirks that make them who they are. That’s why I focus on providing personalized care for one family at a time, creating a calm and comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and loved. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I'll follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and bedtime routines, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. When your pet stays with me, they'll receive the same love, patience, and care I'd want for my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my schedule so every pet in my care receives consistent attention, companionship, and supervision. I’m home everyday of the week and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I attend school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-12pm and 6pm-9pm, but someone is always home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I only care for one family’s pets at a time, I’m able to give them focused, personalized care instead of dividing my attention between multiple bookings. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress free as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment where pets can settle in and feel like part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks, playtime, and outdoor enrichment, along with a quiet dog park just a few blocks away that is usually empty. I only use the park when it is appropriate for the individual dog and with the owner’s permission. I also have a dog (Jayda) of my own who is friendly, calm, and respectful of other dogs’ boundaries. I always prioritize safe introductions and closely monitor interactions so every pet feels comfortable. If a visiting dog is not comfortable around other dogs, my home has separate rooms and spaces where pets can be safely kept apart whenever necessary. Their comfort and safety always come first. Because I care for one family at a time, I can give each pet personalized attention and follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For care in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. During drop-ins or house sitting, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, litter box or yard cleanup, medication when needed, playtime, affection, and any other care instructions provided. For walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and letting each dog move at a pace that suits their age, energy level, and comfort. No matter the service, I send regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care.

About: I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m a student and I will have plenty of time to care for your little furry friends. My availability will be from Thursday to Sunday I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making pets feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions to keep their pets safe, happy, and cared for.

“Chelsea was phenomenal! I booked her for a whole week to walk my dog every morning. She had great communication and wanted to know our usual route. She was prompt, reliable, professional, kind and had the best attitude in the early morning! She took the best photos of my dog on their walk and reported all the key details. I absolutely trusted her with my dog and entering/leaving the house with her.”

About: While I specialize in cat sitting and absolutely adore caring for feline companions, I'm also happy to help with dog sitting for friendly, WELL-TRAINED SMALL PUPS. As a cat sitter first and foremost, I only accept ONE dog PER booking to ensure I can provide the best possible care and attention. Though I'm newer to dog care, I'm patient, attentive, and eager to provide a safe, calm environment for dogs who are easygoing and enjoy a relaxed routine. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. My heart is with cats, but I'm always happy to give well-mannered dogs the love and attention they deserve too! I'm currently open and have a flexible schedule, so I'm happy to work around your pet's unique needs whether it's regular visits or last-minute plans. Your pet's comfort and routine always come first. Because I may be caring for other pets throughout the day, I can't always guarantee an exact visit time. If your requested time is already booked, I'll reach out as soon as possible to see if there's a nearby time that works for you. If your pet needs medication or has a strict schedule, please let me know in your booking request so I can make sure I can accommodate their needs. I do require an in-person meet and greet before confirming any new booking. This helps ensure your pet feels comfortable and we're a great fit! As a proud cat mom, I care for my cats with a lot of love, patience, and attention to detail. Each of them has their own personality and needs, so I make sure their routines are consistent, their environment feels safe, and they get both playtime and quiet comfort. From feeding and litter box cleaning to brushing and cozy cuddle time, I treat them like family because to me, they are.

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my whole life. I make sure to respect the needs of each animal that I am around and only interact with them in ways that they’re comfortable with. I also have experience training dogs and would love to help with that if you’d like. I work from home most days so I have very flexible hours! :) I am a Neuroscience PhD student and can do pretty much all of my work remotely. I am very flexible with hours and will be able to give your pet as much attention as they need ! I can help however you need- I’d be happy to stay overnight if your pet needs it, though I can’t stay 24/7 since I have my own cat to take care of at home. I can take dogs on walks and give them lots of attention and play time. Or if your pet is more reclusive I can just provide some company as we exist in the same room. I’m super flexible!

About: I grew up with a big Labrador and my family also has two more medium sized dogs. I have years of experience in walking and boarding. I have experience with many different breeds and particularly love bigger dogs (being big sized myself). Unfortunately when I moved to Sacramento I couldn’t take my pup with me so your pet will have all my love and attention! My wife and I mostly work from home and my schedule is very much open. I have plenty of time to host and play with your puppies! Just send me a message and we'll find a time to arrange a playdate, a walk, a run, or an overnight stay! I have an apartment in a quiet area of the city and next to plenty of parks where dogs love to play. The area is also perfect for walks and meeting other furry friends

“Christina did a great job with my dog. Everything went well, and I’ll be using Christina again for m next vacation in July.”

About: I'm a huge dog-lover with 5 dogs of my own, a couple of which are rescues from shelters. I have experience dealing with both the more senior-aged dogs and puppies. I'm a huge believer in positive-reinforcement obedience training and dogs living an active, healthy lifestyle. I am able to walk dogs any afternoon any weekday after 5 pm except for Fridays. On Saturday I'm typically available anytime, on Sunday I'm available in the mornings to mid-day. I am currently only offering walking of dogs, so no home visits or stays. This may change in the future. During the walks I ensure the utmost safety for the dog and myself, and I try and choose routes that have limited other dogs.
