Dog Walking La Sierra Acres

About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15, with hands-on experience caring for small to medium-sized breeds. I’ve also worked with dogs that have special needs, including administering medication and offering support during recovery. I'm passionate about animals and love creating a safe, nurturing environment for them while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, daily walks, or extra cuddles, I’m committed to giving your dog the attention, care, and love they deserve. As a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they need. Walks are a regular part of my daily routine, so your dog will enjoy lots of fresh air, exercise, and fun. I’m home throughout the day, which means lots of playtime, cuddles, and care! You can count on me to treat your pet like family. I’m reliable, responsive, and focused on making sure your dog feels comfortable and loved. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’m here to give you peace of mind.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was little and I currently have 2 cats that I have been caring for the past 8 years now and a puppy that belongs to my sister that I look after a lot to help her out sometimes when she’s working and so I think that I’m definitely a great person to rely on for these kinds of things. I’m currently working part time as I am a third year college student who’s major is fine and applied arts and goes to school currently but can take care of your pets anytime of the day all week including weekends and holidays. I care for them by having a feeding schedule for them, cleaning up after them, bathing them, taking them on walks and just playing with them through out the day.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that, I have an infinite amount of patience with pets, I often come off overly professional as far as training within the skills I have, lastly, why dog, puppy, cat, or kitten doesn’t need more love in their life? I actually don’t have any schedule restrictions. I have an entirely open schedule so feel free to book whenever you need. Home most of the time. How I care for pets in my clients home is making sure some type of physical activity occurs to ensure excellent physical health, as well as proper meal times (meal preps). Letting the clients pet do at least something that they find joy in (of course, something safe and harmless).

About: I grew up with dogs and have had them as part of my family my entire life, so caring for them feels natural to me. I know every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, so I take time to follow instructions carefully. Whether your dog loves long walks or slow sniffing strolls, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like I treat my own <3 I'm a student with a flexible schedule. Much of my work is done from home, so dog walking fits naturally into my weekly routine. I already enjoy going on walks, so this feels like a great way to spend time with pets while helping owners with reliable walk support. :) Since I’m currently only offering dog walking, my priority is making each walk safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for your dog. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your dog securely leashed, and pay attention to their energy level and surroundings. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’ll make sure the walk matches what feels best for them.

About: I’ve taken care of other people’s pets, mostly dogs and cats, since I was young. Family and friends would go on long trips or short weekend vacations and I would feed, play, and walk their fur babies. I also had a dog of my own, a pembrook welsh corgi, and took care of him for many years. I work a full-time job but it is partly a remote position so I would be able to spend whole weekdays on most Wednesday’s and Fridays if needed. I’m also available for weekends. I understand taking care of another person’s pet is a very important responsibility and I will send photos and cute videos to ensure you stay updated on your pet’s care.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. In fact, I took my very first steps with a Rottweiler named Oso by my side! Growing up around these large breeds has helped me plenty with hands-on experience and confidence with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Over the years, I’ve cared for and loved several dogs, including a German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, and currently a Malinois mix and two husky mixes. I’m very familiar with the energy, exercise needs, and unique personalities that come with active breeds. While I have lots of experience with larger dogs, I absolutely adore small dogs too. I want make sure that every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient with shy or timid pups and always take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, running around, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m their new best friend ☺️. If you have a high-energy dog that needs to burn off some extra energy, I’m more than ready to help tire them out with plenty of exercise and fun 🤩 ! ❗️I’m available all weekdays and holidays! Although, i’m in college, studying Administration of Justice, and depends on my schedule for the semester since classes may vary on my availability. but it doesn’t mean i won’t make time for your babies! I do prefer for your animals to be treated at your home, because my dogs can be protective of our home and won’t want to put any animals in harms way.

About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including two senior dogs who lived happy lives until 14 years old. I’m patient, attentive, and always make time to give pets the love, care, exercise, and comfort they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I truly enjoy being around animals and making them feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I always make time for walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and special needs, especially for senior pets who may need extra patience and care.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional training experience and genuine love for animals. With 11 years of pet sitting and 4 years as an assistant dog trainer, I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and dogs with unique needs. I understand pet behavior, can reinforce training, and always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m a teacher, which means I have weekends, holidays, school breaks, and summers off, giving me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting. During the school year, I get home early and have ample time for evening visits, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, so caring for pets never feels like work. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I live in an apartment with a large, fully fenced patio that includes turf and cement, giving dogs a secure outdoor space for potty breaks, fresh air, and supervised play. I also have an extremely friendly and well-socialized dog who enjoys having canine companions and has experience living with foster dogs of all ages and personalities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions.

“Ross & wife Diane were very personable, kind & loving to our dogs. They handled the chaos well & our dogs liked them. We were happy with their service & will use them again. Thank you to you both!”

About: I have had and cared for dogs my entire life, ranging from rescues to purebred puppies, and from small breeds to very large dogs. I especially love big dogs and am very comfortable handling strong, high-energy breeds. Currently, I have two pitbull/boxer mix rescues and a pure Anatolian Shepherd Dog, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and attentive care. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am dependable, caring, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and love they deserve! As a collegiate athlete home for the summer, pet care fits well into my daily routine and gives me the opportunity to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love combining my own exercise with caring for dogs through walks, runs, and active playtime. Since I already have experience caring for my own dogs, adding pet sitting into my schedule feels very natural, and I enjoy giving dogs the attention, activity, and care they need throughout the day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are in my home or their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I especially enjoy keeping dogs active through walks or runs, while also making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I focus on creating a calm, dependable environment where they feel comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since 2020, ranging from chihuahuas to large golden doodles! I love the energetic pups as well as the calm ones, they’re all extremely sweet babies. I’m currently post-grad searching for jobs so my schedule is pretty open! Ideally morning and nighttime routines would be best to create a balanced schedule. I love to make your pets feel comfortable and happy, whether they like to be cuddle or left alone, I do anything in my power to make sure their tails stay wagging.

About: I have never known a life without at least 2 dogs around the house, and also a few cats. I’ve grown up with mastiffs, pitbulls, chihuahuas, chow chows, golden retrievers, stray rescued dogs, injured/sick dogs, puppies, elderly dogs, basically all you could name! I have also walked and cared for many dogs of friends and family and I love meeting new furry faces! Every dog has their own special routine and I am dedicated to make sure that is followed thoroughly. I genuinely care for animals as if they are humans and they should be loved as such :). As a college student home for the summer, I want to schedule as many walks as possible! My schedule is very open past 11am when I typically am done with my workouts :). I am willing to schedule other things around walks and home visits. I believe that it is important to nail down routines for each specific pet. Feeding, walking, and playing should be a part of every animals daily routine! When trusted in a clients home, I believe that it is essential to be respectful of the space and leave the area even better than I found it. I care for your space as much as I care for your loved pets!

“Janette is an excellent dog walker. She is always on time, very responsible and very loving to my 127 pound German Shepherd who took to her immediately. He is so excited when she comes. I would highly recommend her services. She walks my dog twice a week.”
