Dog Walking Knowles Corner

“Amanda is a terrific walker and ever takes Bella for a jog sometimes- which Bella enjoys. I trust Amanda to ‘listen’ to see what Bella wants to do to make her afternoon enjoyable.”

“Bronte was great to work with for Casper's first dog walker experience. Casper is still a puppy, and sometimes a handful, Bronte handled him confidently. Bronte was on time each day and communicated well. It was a good experience and we plan to use Bronte in the future.”

About: I'm excited to be back to doing what I love best after some time away raising a kiddo and creating a home dreamy for humans and furry friends alike. Treat your canine friend to a retreat in the country and feel comfortable leaving them in the hands of a professional and certified trainer. With over forty years of experience with animals and as a reputable Trainer for an Assistance Dog organization, i have a strong background with animals and can provide a safe and fun environment. My home is a canine paradise! It's quiet and serene with plenty of shade, a fully fenced yard, and a private dirt road that meanders through the countryside right out our back door, - perfect for walks for the dogs. There ia a resident Labrador retrievers named "Heart" and a Bernese Mountaing Dog named "Stormy" They are great ambassadors and love to host furry friends. I can also offer training, baths/grooming just ask if you think you would like this. We look forward to your dogs vacay with us. Why I love dog sitting I know when I leave for vacation, knowing my animals are in good hands allows for me to relax and enjoy my time away worry free. Animal owners are some of the best people I have known and I love meeting new friends, human and furry alike. I work part time from home, so it makes for the ideal environment to incorporate dog sitting into the day. I care for the dogs as if they were my own and I hope that you will allow us the honor to care for you animals(s). I am currently working from home. I leave the house on occasion but can either take your dog with me for a car ride if they like that, leave your dog home or if you would prefer, crate it for a short time. I am never gone long when dogs are n my care. I treat all dogs as if they are my own and follow the instructions of the owners on what to do to make them comfortable while in my home.

“Evan is a kind and conscientious dog lover. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with him on a regular basis. He is communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. I highly recommend him!!”

About: Finding someone to care for your pet can feel like a lot. You want to know they'll be safe, happy, and treated like family while you're away, and you don't want to spend your whole day wondering how they're doing. ⠀ That's where I come in! ⠀ I raised and trained my own dog from a tiny puppy all the way to crossing the rainbow bridge, and it was the best experience of my life. I also went through Sirius Puppy Training, so I know how to work with dogs using positive, reward-based methods that help them feel confident and comfortable with me. ⠀ Got a dog with energy to burn? I know all the best local spots, like Riverfront, Laguna, Taylor Mountain, and Spring Lake, and I love taking pups out to explore. I bring along games to keep their brains busy too. You'll come home to one happy, tired dog. ⠀ Got a senior who likes to take it slow? We'll stroll the neighborhood at whatever pace feels good to them. ⠀ Does your pet need meds or a little extra TLC? I've handled complicated medication routines for dogs in treatment, so you can trust me to follow your instructions to the letter. ⠀ Have a cat? I'm a cat person too! I'm happy to stop by for feedings, litter changes, and some good company. ⠀ You'll get photos and a quick update every visit, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. And since my schedule's flexible, last-minute requests, early mornings, and evenings are no problem. ⠀ I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐈🐕 I work from home as a freelancer and can accommodate most requests on weekdays, sometimes I can also pick up work on weekends. I walk everyday, rain or shine and love to bring happy dogs on the trail! In My Home: I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I maintain a calm, safe environment and follow your established routines as closely as possible—from feeding schedules to playtime preferences. For dogs, I provide plenty of exercise through walks or hikes suited to their energy level, and I'm always attentive to their comfort and body language. I keep pets secure with leashed walks, and I'm vigilant about potential hazards both indoors and on trails. For pets on medication or special diets, I follow instructions carefully and keep detailed notes. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. Since I work from home, the pet is with me 24/7, with only short breaks if I need to go do an errand - in which case we use a crate. In Your Home: I respect your home as I would my own. I follow all your instructions for feeding, medication, routines, and house rules. I keep things tidy, secure doors and windows, and ensure your pet stays safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, or adjust lighting to give your home a lived-in feel while you're away. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and am always available if questions come up. My goal is to make the transition seamless for both you and your pet.

“Gina is the best. Our dog gets so excited when he see’s her. Also she’s very reliable.”

“Sarah is such a loving and caring person with my dog. He absolutely loves her and her kids! She always keeps me updated on everything that’s going on with him and responds to every single one of my messages super quickly. I can tell he is happy, safe, and well cared for with her. I would definitely trust her with my dog again without hesitation. Highly recommend Sarah! ❤️🐶”

About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

“I’m so grateful to have Melissa’s help. She is very attentive to Teddy’s needs and I appreciate her communication with me. I hope to continue working with her as long as possible!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life, often pet sitting for friends, and family. I enjoy spending time with them, and getting to connect especially as I do not currently have pets of my own. I have a fairly open schedule, and am able to be quite accommodating even on short notice. Whether it be a walk in the neighborhood or a long term sit. I am able to recognize animals signals and respond to their needs easily depending on what they are. When I am with your pet, I will be completely present as I work remotely.

About: Your furry friends happiness is my top priority! When I'm caring for your pet I make sure your pet is safe, happy and loved. Every pet is different and has different needs so, I take special attention to making sure they are getting the right care for them. I take into account a dogs abilities, fitness and age. When you hire me to care for your pet, your hiring someone with years of experience in caring for animals. I have worked with pets with cancer, elderly animals and high energy and anxious dogs. I take you trusting me with your pet very seriously. You can expect me to be on time, honest, friendly and compassionate. I want you to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable and is being loved and cared for just how you would.

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, hamsters, birds and rabbits my entire life. I’ve had special needs cats that require specialized care including giving fluids to a kitty with kidney disease. I’m educated in what to look for indicating signs of illness and am comfortable and experienced giving medications. I am self-employed so my schedule revolves around whatever pet sitting, dog walking or other services I have scheduled. I am not available to provide constant care at your house. I would be in and out all day because of dog walking and drop in visits. If you need a sitter to be at your house 15+ hrs a day please look for a sitter that can accommodate your needs. I have dogs and cats of my own, so I generally only pet sit for rodents and cats that I can keep in a separate part of my home. Dogs would have to have a pre-care meeting with my animals to make sure that they get along.

“Mackenzie is reliable and very adapt at being with dogs. Our dog is a bit apprehensive when on a walk she encounters other dogs. Kenzie has helped her the less reactive. I will definitely recommend.her.”

“Daphne enjoyed her walk with Nikki! Our pup is nervous with new people and Nikki took the time to get to know her and let Daphne get comfortable with her. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was about 11, so 7 years or so. I am very comfortable with both big and little animals, ranging from hamsters to horses. I have experience with senior animals, big dogs, horses, chickens, pigs, cats, and more. I am currently attending the SRJC, but only have online classes as of now so my schedule is very open to fit your needs. I like any excuse to get some exercise so I'd be more than happy to fit in a few walks a day with your pets, as well as house sitting, boarding, and drop ins. I am very flexible on pay, please just let me know what you need from me and what you're able to pay, I will take pretty much any job. I have a large open yard that is fenced in the front, but has a small (very shallow; no risk of drowning) creek running along the back, providing a natural sort of fence with nothing but a field behind it. I have one dog that is very friendly and easygoing, as well as some cats around the property that sometimes come inside but don't care much for dogs.

About: Hi! My name is Chris and I love all animals. I have been caring for cats and dogs since I was a young boy and since then have taken in a plethora of other creatures ranging from snakes, geckos, and frogs to hamsters and foster rats! I am studying to be a pilot but my schooling is online! Meaning your fur babies can have as much of my attention as they fancy. I would love to be able to hang out with and meet some more great furry friends. My schedule is open to your fur babies schedules! I can be there for your furry friends for as little or as long as needed and I’ll make sure they have all the love, attention, and playtime that they need. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I have cared for a variety of different pals from dachshunds, to dobermans and pitbulls, to labradors, to mini poodles, and dealt with all kinds of temperaments. I can do check ins, walks, or days/overnights and your home will be treated with my utmost respect. Apart from your fur babies cheerful mood, you’ll return questioning if I was ever even there 😁
