Dog Walkers in Lakeridge Oaks, CA

“Ayla has been walking our dog for a month now and she has been fantastic! She is great at communicating what is going on and responds very quickly. Our dog has been so much happier since she started walking him. She’s exactly what we were looking for.”

About: I am a lover of animals and have had dogs for most of my life, unfortunately losing my sweet boy just a short while ago. I have been petsitting and housesitting for many years and ready to expand my network. Whether I stay in your home, your pet stays in my home, or I am just popping in for a visit, your pet will be very loved. Their comfort and happiness are my first priority. I am a remote worker, which allows for flexibility in a day-to-day routine. I am able to breakaway for potty breaks/walks/pets/feedings/training/etc. I will schedule any social activities around your pet's needs. In my home, your pet can have the run of the house, it all depends on your preferences as an owner. My home is pet friendly and will follow any guidelines provided. In your home, I follow your pet's normal routine, as closely as possibe. I ensure I leave your home in the same or better condition than when I arrived.

About: We are a couple who love animals and take great pleasure in caring for them. We work from home on alternating days, so between the two of us, we'll always be available to put your minds at ease. We've had dogs and cats growing up (prior breeds include siamese cats, cockapoo, standard poodles, and a daschund), and are currently the lucky parents of a very energetic senior French Bulldog, Jackson. Jackson has had numerous health issues, which have given us experience caring for dogs requiring special attention including: crate training, medication administration, following strict schedules, setting exercise and play restrictions, carrying or limiting vertical movement (stairs or jumping), and even administrating injections. For any special instructions or care, be sure to message us in advance so we can be sure to accommodate. As pet owners who travel frequently, we understand the importance of finding consistent, responsible, and flexible caretakers for your pet. We hope to become your trusted go-to whether you are seeking occasional or routine care. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions! We look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Brian has a flexible schedule and can be available starting at 6:30AM most weekdays to drop in or walk your dog. Annuschka has a hybrid work schedule and is available most Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. We are both available on weekends and even may pair up to give your pets some extra attention. Our default approach is to maintain a calm demeanor when first meeting your pet and will wait for them to settle down before we first greet them. This helps to set the tone and improves the trust between pet and human. Please let us know what your preference is. If you like your dog taking the lead on walks, we are happy to accommodate that. Please also let us know if they have any quirks, other behavioral tendencies, or are aggressive.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life — caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up with pets and over the years have had the joy of helping foster kittens and cats, which taught me so much about patience, compassion, and the importance of gentle care. Along the way, I’ve also cared for the beloved pets of friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and family friends — everything from walks and feedings to snuggles, playtime, and overnight stays. Whether it’s a curious kitten, a playful pup, or a senior pet needing extra TLC, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Building trust with both pets and their people is incredibly important to me. I know how much your furry family means to you, and I’m here to give you peace of mind (and keep those tails wagging while you’re away!) Because I work for myself and set my own hours, I have the flexibility to be there when you need me! I can easily work pet care into my day, whether it’s morning walks, midday cuddles, or evening visits. Your pet’s comfort and routine are a priority for me, and I love being able to give them the attention they deserve When I care for your pet, I treat them like one of my own — with kindness, patience, and so much love. I pay close attention to their personality, energy, and comfort level so they always feel safe and at ease around me. Whether they’re playful and full of zoomies or just want a quiet companion to snuggle with, I’ll meet them exactly where they are.

About: I've owned a dog and cat for most of my adult life. Both have passed on and I would love to take care of yours! I am currently working part time and am available to help out with your pet care needs Tuesday through Saturday morning, noon and night. Thank you! I will abide by all of your verbal and written rules while taking the utmost care of your loved pets in and outside of your home.

About: As someone who loves both cats and dogs, I understand the varying needs between the two. I owned two dogs growing up and have been volunteering at the cat shelter for the last three years. I have dog sat for about the last 6 years for my neighbors, meaning I have spent time in people’s homes for days on end, providing dog walking, and learned and accommodated the behaviors of various kinds of dogs. I also have taken care of my neighbor’s parrots for a month at a time, so I have bird care experience. I am currently a student at UC Berkeley and working part time (schedule for the Fall 2024 semester is not decided yet). Pet sitting is a very accommodating job for my schedule, because I can do it during the day on weekends and during the night during the week. During the summer I am free (aside from the occasional trips, from which I have updated my availability). In a client’s home, I make sure to supervise pets 24/7 to ensure they are getting the most attention possible. I give them lots of pets and affection to build a comfortable relationship. I make sure that they are leashed when we go outside and keep strict attention on them.

About: I grew up with dogs and cared for them until I moved away to college. I have cared for neighbors dogs when they went on vacation. I am retired now but I usually spend time helping my wife care for my 100 yo mother in law in the late afternoons every other day. But this is flexible. It is a tremendous honor and responsibility to have someone trust me with their pet. It takes years to build trust, but only a second to destroy it. It is so great to see so many responsible pet owners here in Folsom. Let me help you with this when you need it.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, birds and fish…all have a unique way in which they need to be cared for but still plenty in common … like the time, affection and genuine interest required to truly love them and allow them to thrive. I had used this app for many years and was able to meet a few Rovers that took excellent care of my aging orange tabby…I’m here because after 18 years with the coolest cat ever, I’m not ready for another pet but would love to help take care of yours. Whether it’s just taking your pup for a stroll or giving some much-needed scratchies to your feline while you’re out of town, I have experience in many things required to take care of your pets at all stages of life. I work from home a few days each week but can discuss flexibility should any conflict arise with your pets needs or care instructions each day. I would care for your pet as if it was my own. Meaning the attention, affection and concern for their needs would be just as important as if I was caring for my own.

About: As a dog lover at heart, I’m always on the lookout for new furry friends. When I’m not providing exceptional pet care, you can find me at the local adoption center spending my free time playing with the dogs and giving them the love and attention they deserve. My goal is to ensure every pet I care for has a positive experience, making their time away from you as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. I am currently seeking part-time work, which gives me plenty of time to devote to your pets. I’m available on all weekdays and most weekends, ready to provide the love and attention your furry friends deserve. Feel free to send me a message-I’d love to arrange a time to meet and discuss how I can help care for your pets. I maintain a safe and clean environment for my pets and promise to do the same for yours. While you are away, I will ensure your animals are well cared for and loved, taking care to clean up any messes. Your pets’ well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

About: Hii there!! I’ve have taken care of many animals my whole life, In 2021 I started working at a boarding facility that loves and accepts fur baby’s of all kinds of personality’s! I love the pups and kitties that are happy to be loved and given attention but am aways ready for a crazy love bug or nervous pup/ a kitty that just needs space or might have spice (I don’t do at home cat boarding). If needed I can provide Nail clipping and grind for dogs! also clips for cats, bunny’s, guinea pig’s, and bearded dragons. My best interest is always your fur baby’s comfort and to not to stress him/her out, I have learned over the years body language of pups and kitties and when what’s going on is to much “how to read the room” I’ve cared for many puppies (preferably when vaccinated) And have dealt with many crazy puppies! I’ve cared for lots of older pups as well, if they need extra care I will always be sure to give them that and the love they need. If your older pup or younger pup needs medication I have been trained on giving medication in food/ treat, pilling, and injections. If you have any questions about my services or how I can help you and your fur baby be sure to ask :) I’d love to meet you little lady/man!! My weeks are always filled with taking care of Pups and kitties along with my own 4 legged friends and I couldn’t see it any other way, It always makes the day better meeting and getting to love your furry friend! I will always do my best to give your fur baby the space they need when needed or the love they want when wanted, making sure they have a good experience with someone new! And if needed give some special care for the fur baby's that need a little extra help and love, trying to give them the love and support I would give my own baby!

“Candace is awesome!!!!!! She truly cares and loves on our dogs. She is extremely diligent in her commitment to walking Wilson- and he just loves being able to get out and get some exercise with her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes with many different needs. Ages ranging from one week to senior. Same goes for cats, I have experience with all ages of cats. I work from home for VSP as a training coordinator. I can bring my laptop anywhere and work from anywhere as long as there’s Wi-Fi. So anytime you would need me to come and check on your pet or if you would like me to stay at your house I could easily make that work with my job. Pets are family and should be treated as such! I currently have a cat and she gets anything she wants (within reason) she is spoiled, but not rotten. I would follow the instructions given on how you would prefer your pet to be taken care of, but I would truly enjoy spending time with all pets, making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve raised a German Shepherd from a puppy, so I know firsthand the energy, patience, and training that go into caring for pets. I’m active and love getting outside, so whether your dog needs a long walk, a good run, or just some playtime to burn off energy, I’ve got it covered. I’m comfortable handling larger breeds and making sure they get the attention, structure, and care they need. As of now I am on the job hunt, so I’ve got an open schedule with lots of free time. I’m available at all times of day or night. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs, whether it’s in my home or yours. I make sure they stick to their routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. If I’m at your home, I keep things clean, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. For dogs, that means plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and belly rubs. For cats, I let them set the pace—whether they want playtime or just someone to keep them company. No matter the pet, I treat them like they’re my own.
