About: I’m a veterinary student studying at Fresno state. I have had lots of veterinary experience and frequently help out at the animal shelters and a few hospitals. I’ve been looking after dogs and cats since I was 16 and have been a dog walker for 3 years. I treat every animal that comes into my care as if it were my own. I also do nail trims and baths for both dogs and cats on the side for a separate charge as well. I am mostly available Friday through Sunday and have limited availability during weekdays. As long as I know enough time in advance, I can happily accommodate you companion. I treat animals with the most respect and usually will do a meet and greet before the service so that way I can get to know your pet and become a friend to them. For cats I recommend this for because they can be skittish when it comes to new people. I also love pictures! You will get multiple updates in a day about how your pet is doing, eating habits, and overall behavior. With me, there is no wondering “I wonder how my pet is doing” you will always know.
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child but never had a the time to fully adopt. I assist in dog sitting for my family and friends and would love to open my heart to other dogs in the community! I am very active for dogs with a little more energy but also very calm and attentive for older or more anxious pups. I currently work from home on Thursdays and Fridays and am typically free on weekends. This allows me to do frequent drop ins and walks during the day. I live in a quiet private neighborhood that doesn’t have many cars and is filled with other friendly dogs. There is grass outside where dogs can sniff around and take care of business. We also have a large backyard where dogs can run around and bathe in the sunlight.

“Lindsay is great! Our rescue, Sammy, can be quite a handful but Lindsay jumped right in. She gave us frequent updates and photos. Sammy seemed to warm up quickly with her and enjoy his walks! ”

“Morty is always excited to see Marby when she comes to walk him! She saved us and was able to come on such short notice within a few hours and walk him. Really appreciate it!”

About: I care for my elderly rescued bird, an elderly Yorkie, and have owned a mouse for 4 years past its life expectancy. My child hood dog, a miniature pinscher lived till 21 years old. I also grew up spending my summers at horse camp which taught me how to give an animal space and read their emotions: if they need water or attention for example. I recently quit my job to focus writing. Looking for a job for my in-between stage. Excited to pass the time with caring for someone’s animal. You can trust me to give your pet space and attention when appropriate. I am okay with cameras on in the house if needed or any other precautionary measure that ensures my clients respect to their household and pets safety
About: I would be a great sitter because I’m responsible, attentive, and deeply committed to providing compassionate care. I’ve had four dogs for over 11 years, including one elderly dog who lived to 18, which speaks to my dedication and experience. They enjoy two walks a day and have a spacious backyard to play in, reflecting the active and nurturing environment I maintain. I’m calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and create safe, comfortable spaces. I love animals and have raised two rescue dogs and feel comfortable with all dogs, big and small. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. I work remotely and am home all day with my three dogs, which allows me to be consistently present and attentive. My meetings are typically short, under an hour, and I average about three per day, leaving plenty of time to care for my pets and any others I’m sitting. When I’m not in meetings, I’m working on projects from home, so I’m always nearby to provide attention, walks, and playtime in my spacious backyard. I have fenced in backyard and typically leave my dogs in the house with me while I am in meetings. I have several dog lounge spaces in the house that they can lay on. I walk them in the morning and the late afternoon, depending on the heat.
“Michelle is the sweetest and did a wonderful job helping me take Dex on a walk! She provided so many photos of him having a great time on the walk with her and her fur baby! I definitely recommend her trusted service and I will be using her again ◡̈”

About: I grew up on a farm in ND and have had experience with all kinds of dog breeds! I’ve also taken care of friends/siblings pets when they need. I now have two dogs of my own that I rescued and raised since they were puppies. They’ve been the joy of my life for the past six years. I currently have completely open availability, so my routine revolves around my pets. I’m looking to extend that availability for you and your pets if you need I live in an apartment, so each day starts with a long walk around the surrounding neighborhood, with smaller walks intermittently through the day around the complex. They get a lot of socialization, and plenty of exercise this way. If I am to visit your home, I am open to giving walks, playtime, socialization, feeding, or anything that your pet needs
“Angela was amazing with my boy Storm while we were on vacation!! She was communicative, attentive, and showed she really cared about my dog. She constantly sent pictures and I can see how happy he was in all of them! Contingent she’s available, I will definitely be asking for her help again the next time we’re out of town.”

“Brittany has a very warm, welcoming energy that immediately hooked Stanley at our meet and greet - they were fast friends! We really appreciated her communication and professionalism - and already have her lined up for future walks! Highly recommend Brittany”

I had a fantastic experience with Anika as Kora’s dog walker. Anika was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Before booking, I met Anika and informed her that Kora was not spayed and was currently in heat. Anika was very mindful of this, and she took great care of Kora, ensuring her safety and well-being, even when a stray dog approached when walking Kora around my neighborhood. It’s clear that Anika genuinely cares about the dogs she walks, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you, Anika, for your outstanding service!
