Dog Walking Larkfield-Wikiup

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Now that I am retired, I have the time to share my lifelong love of dogs with both you and your furry family members. My experience goes far beyond pet ownership. While serving in the military, I had the privilege of working with dogs, which remains one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had. I was responsible for their daily care, training, exercise, and well-being, and my canine partner was by my side throughout the workday. After leaving the military, I continued working with dogs by teaching group obedience classes at PetSmart. I also worked at a board-and-train facility, where I trained dogs and then coached their owners on how to maintain and build upon that training at home. In addition, I provided private obedience lessons, helping dogs learn essential skills while teaching their humans how to communicate effectively and build strong, lasting relationships with their pets. My experience working with military dogs and training companion dogs has given me the confidence and skills to work with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, including those that may be shy, strong-willed, or require extra patience and understanding. Whether your dog needs a walk, companionship, exercise, or attentive care while you're away, you can trust that they will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Now that I am retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the dogs in my care. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to each day. Because I am not balancing a full-time job, I can provide consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, medication, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention while you're away, I have the time and flexibility to make sure their needs are met. I understand that pets thrive on routine, and I do my best to maintain the schedule and care your pet is accustomed to so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Because I provide dog walking and care in my clients' homes, I focus on maintaining your pet's normal routine and environment to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable. During walks, I use secure leashing practices, remain aware of our surroundings, and tailor the walk to your dog's age, energy level, and individual needs. In your home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and any special preferences or routines. I understand that trust is essential when caring for a family member, and I treat every pet and home with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I believe in clear communication and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing, cleaning litter boxes, giving lots of attention, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love animals of all personalities and sizes. I’m back home from college for the summer, so I have a flexible/ open schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m also looking to make some extra money doing something I genuinely enjoy, which is spending time and caring for animals! I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I’m very attentive to pets’ behavior and needs, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: Experienced pet caregiver with over a decade of hands-on care for young, senior, and special-needs pets. Caring for animals has been a part of my life since I was a young kid. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on and care for loved ones. I work a split shift so mind day check ins are also available. I can cater to any and all special requests with your pets. I can take them out on walks if a yard is not available and if they are strictly indoor I can provide that care as well.

“Great communication. Sarah is friendly and very responsive.”

Dogs I have taken care of are Yorkie, Chihuahuas, Westie, Shiba Inu mix, Labrador Retriever( hunting dog), Shih Tzus, Husky mix and more. My partner has taken care of a wide of variety dogs, cats, and other pets as well. Our love for dogs always want us to treat and care for them as best as possible. I currently have a Shih Tzu mix who I love like he is a family member and I hope I can bring that level of care to other dogs I have to care for. I have also taken care of senior dogs in the past. Taking care of people's dogs does not feel like a job to us, rather a joyful and fun experience for us both! I'm Pet First Aid/CPR certified through American Health Training. I understand the procedure on how to properly handle dogs from all sizes who are choking, poisoned, unresponsive, how to check vitals and perform CPR if necessary. The training gives me the best understanding and preparation on how to best handle a pet emergency. My wife is also knowledgeable of CPR/ Pet First Aid Care as I taught her what I learned from the course as we both find it really important to care not only for the pet's needs, but be best prepared for an pet emergency. Even with all the demands of life, we always give dogs under my care a lot of attention and have all their needs met! If I have to leave the house for whatever reason, my wife will give her attention to caring for the dogs as we love working as a team to care for our furry animals. If there are any dogs we care for that have separation anxiety issues, we can make sure to give that dog always has company! I live in a two story house with a small backyard that is fenced. I currently have a Shih Tzu mix who loves people and has gotten along well with other dogs in the same household. My dog is not one to try to make friends with other dogs as he does not like dogs coming up to him and in his space, but he can get along well with dogs of similar size or bigger dogs with time and has been in situations where he got along fine with mulitple dogs in a house. My house is spacious so there is plenty of room for the dogs to move about. We have multiple rooms and a dog gate where they can be comfortable if difficulties come up with getting along. I currently live with my wife and two parents as all three are dog lovers who are highly experienced with pet care, so in case I need to leave the house for errands or other needs, my wife can provide attention to the pet if need be as the pet can always have supervision. I will be home very often so I can take out the dog frequently and I live close to a park that's great for walking, and our neighborhood is very safe and plenty of places for walking. The dogs will always have access to fresh and clean water in the house. I will be very attentive to the pet's needs and be very sure they are well taken care of and comfortable under my care😊.

About: Hi! I’m an HR professional by trade, but outside of work I’m a devoted dog and cat mom and lifelong animal lover. I recently moved from Sacramento to Sonoma County with my two rescue dogs and am excited to connect with fellow pet parents in the community. Dogs have always been such an important part of my life—not just as pets, but as family. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs, fostered pups, and helped friends and family care for theirs. One of my favorite experiences was working at the Sacramento SPCA for about a year, which deepened my appreciation for every dog’s unique personality and reinforced how meaningful quality pet care can be. When your pet is with me, my goal is simple: I want them to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for—just like they would at home. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, extra snuggles, or a slower pace, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. Life gets busy—whether you’re traveling, working long hours, managing family life, or just need an extra hand—and I’d love to help make things easier while giving your fur baby the attention they deserve. Big or small, energetic or laid back, I can’t wait to meet your best friend.

About: Ever since I can remember i’ve been surrounded by many different animal personalities. From the doggies I have loved, the puppies i've been blessed to bring into my home, and the many other creatures i’ve been able to care for. I have had 8 dogs and 6 cats in my lifetime and a plethora of other fun friends along the way. I sat beside my beautiful Golden as she delivered 2 litters of puppies and cared for them until other families had that privilege. Animals have always been a passion of mine, and all dogs and cats I get the honor to care for are loved just as I would love my own. I have dog sat and taken care of many animals of my friends and family, and I’m excited to expand my caregiver passion. I’m currently on my summer break from college, and I’m pretty much free all the time! Once school starts up again I can work around my schedule. But I am always available Friday-Sunday! I am able to do whatever is necessary for specific pet care in anyone’s home. I am very respectful of clients environments and personal expectations.

About: Welcome to Wildflower Animal Wellness! I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, rodents, reptiles, birds, insects, and more. I've cared for my own dogs (small and large), horses, cat, and tortoise for many years, and absolutely love spending time with animals. I also work at an animal rescue, so I’ve worked with animals from a lot of different backgrounds. I will do everything I can to make sure that your pet is happy and comfortable! Wildflower Animal Wellness is my business and main source of income. I’m ready to care for your pet any time! I can do as many visits / walks needed in a day. I treat every pet as I do my own (and my pets are my children!). I am prompt, respectful, detail-oriented, and a hard-worker.

About: Hi! I'm Sarah. I love all animals and like to give them the care and love they deserve! I’ve had pets all my life. I'm kind, positive, gentle, and calm. My patience and calm demeanor allow animals to feel very comfortable around me. I have experience giving cats subcutaneous fluids 3x/wk for 7 months, oral meds (liquid and pill form for 1.5 years), facials, baths, and showers. and I'm sensitive & observant to animals' needs. I do my best to understand animal behavior and what they're communicating. When I adopted my cats, Sparkles & Zorro, they truly adopted me as their mom. They were a few months old & I was 10. I was their person, and the only one Sparkles completely trusted. They passed in 2019 & 2024. My dad and I found and revived a young robin from a flood after a tornado. When I come across wildlife or strays in need, I will go to the ends of the earth to help. In college I had a zoology emphasis & interned at an exotic wildlife rehabilitation center. I have volunteered at a local animal shelter washing dogs, cleaning kennels, & socializing with cats & dogs. I also volunteered at a farm animal sanctuary. We began rescuing cats since the LA wildfires and I fostered one. With a positive attitude and a readiness to learn, I'd complete the tasks assigned, giving attention to the animals as I go along. After finishing my work on the sanctuary, I'd thoroughly socialize with the animals, spending time in different barns/rooms each week so that all, from pigs to cats, receive equal attention. My skills allow me to notice a creature in need of help and be an advocate until the animal is safe and/or in the right hands. In addition to being an animal-lover, I am a people-person who enjoys the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team. Sincerely, Sarah I'm currently looking for work and I'm an actress so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets and treat them like my own. I will treat your pet as though they were my own. I will make sure they are properly cared for, this includes playing with them, quality time, feeding, and bathroom time.

“Nyah walked Darla for ten days when our regular walker was unavailable. She did such a great job, she will be our number 1 walker going forward. Not only is she responsible, friendly, and communicative, she also followed directions to a T. But the best thing is how she interacted with the dog. She was so warm and sweet with Darla, and she took her needs into consideration at all times. Practically anyone can walk a dog. But it’s great to find someone who makes it a fun adventure, and not just a job. 100% would recommend.”

“Laura is getting to know Yogee and also getting better at walking him. He is a energetic puppy and needs a good well paced walk. She is very patient with him which is lovely as he is slowly adapting to her. I hope to have her walk Yogee more in the future. She was very helpful and even started using the Rover cards. She is a really nice person.”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, my mom would baby sit neighbor’s dog all throughout my childhood, so I learned how to care for them from an early age. I’ve had an xl yellow lab for 8 years named Hiro. He is my whole world. I am especially skilled in taking care of large and xl dogs. Big dogs do not phase me, in fact I love them! I am a college student, but I have a ton of free time. I am free almost every weekend and most week days. My time is very flexible. I feel the best way to care for animals is to show them tons of love and attention. With my dog I usually walk him twice a day and make sure he gets a lot of time outside. I am very accustomed to the lifestyle of a high energy dog.

About: Hey, I’m Chappy! Christopher is my legal name… I specialize in walking / caring for large dogs and working breeds, but am happy to work with all breeds and sizes. I have worked with high-energy, reactive, less than sociable dogs too, giving them the physical and metal fulfillment they need. I personally have two larger dogs, Count (German Shepherd Husky mix, 110lbs) and Bentley (German Shepherd Dutch Shepherd mix, 80lbs). I’ve also worked with a range of breeds from pugs to golden retrievers to Alsatian shepherds to American bull dogs. I’m a freelance, work from home marketer, so I’m pretty much always at home and available to take care of dogs, or am able to come to you and take your pup out. We live on roughly 8 acres in Sonoma County, so there is plenty of room at our home for dogs to run and explore. I have two friendly German Shepherd mix dogs that love having friends over. We also have a secure deck that the dogs loving sunbathing on and watching the world go by. I can crate your dog, if need be (we have a crate / room for crates), along with the ability to keep dogs separate if need be. Should your dog use a e-collar of any sort, I’m trained in properly using them, as both of my dogs are trained to them. If your dog loves to hike, we regularly go for hikes on the trails around Sonoma County, or to Dillon Beach to run around off leash.
