Dog Walking Madera

About: I have always cared for all animals since I was young. I would take in strays or try my best to give them love with the time i’ve had with all of them. I have experience with animal wounds/medicine and anxious/scared pets. I have three adult cats and a dog of my own and I am willing to adapt and learn how to care for your animals! When I come to take care, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I’m currently out of school and have all day every week to spend time with your fur babies! Available all day from 7am until 10 pm! I have a big fenced yard and plenty of toys for your dogs and cats! My cats won’t bother any of them (they like watching from afar) :)

About: Always had one or more dogs around in the family for as long as I can remember. I’ve always enjoyed being around them and while I currently don’t have a dog of my own, I figured offering my time to spend with others dogs would be a great way to spend my time. I’ve also had experience working at a local pet store for a few years where daily cleaning of puppy cages and feeding was required as well as administering parvo shots to customer’s dogs and advising them on proper food choices. Typically busy between 10am-12pm during the weekday but can make exceptions if needed to take care of your pets during that time. Other than that, pretty much have time to check in or provide playtime and walks between 8am-8pm Doing a meet and greet with pets before spending extended amounts of time with them to not only get to know the animal but also address any concerns that you may have as well.

About: My work with animals started when I was just 10 years old, volunteering at a family friend’s dog daycare. What began as a childhood passion turned into over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and temperaments! Over the years, I’ve worked at several dog daycares, volunteered with shelters and rescue organizations, completed an internship at a nonprofit feline shelter and spay/neuter clinic, and worked as an Animal Control Officer. I also have experience in animal behavior and training, with a particular interest in behavioral rehabilitation, socialization, and working with dogs who need a little extra patience or understanding. I remain heavily involved in animal rescue, particularly with Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, and regularly help foster, evaluate, and rehabilitate dogs in need. At home, my husband and I have quite the little zoo! Our family includes five large dogs (four Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd), five cats, and some exotic pets. Having such a diverse household has given me extensive experience with different species, personalities, care requirements, and the importance of safely managing a multi-animal home. I’m also trained in pet CPR and first aid, have experience with pet nutrition, and offer basic grooming care, including bathing, nail trims, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior animals, and accommodating pets with special needs or behavioral quirks. I understand that every animal is an individual. Some want to spend the day playing, exploring, and staying active, while others would much rather curl up on the couch and enjoy some company. My goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while you’re away. Whether that means extra exercise, enrichment activities, maintaining their usual routine, or making room for one more in bed, I’m happy to accommodate! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your animals, especially when they have unique needs. As someone with a houseful of my own, I completely understand. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. A little note for fellow pet professionals: I’m always open to discussing reciprocal pet care arrangements with other experienced, qualified, and trustworthy sitters. Sometimes the best support system is another animal person who understands exactly what goes into caring for our four-legged (and occasionally eight-legged!) family members. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 I’m fortunate to work from home while continuing my education and pursuing a career in nursing! I work on-call, after-hours shifts in healthcare, which allows me to remain home for the majority of my workday. Occasionally, I need to step out briefly to see a patient, but these visits are typically short, and pets are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the animals in my care, providing regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, and lots of attention. Caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life, so welcoming a few extra furry friends fits naturally into our routine! Safety is always my number one priority when caring for animals! With my background in Animal Control, animal behavior, training, and rescue, I’ve learned just how important it is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every pet, regardless of their personality or needs. Our home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore. We also have spare bedrooms, extra crates and kennels, baby gates, and designated spaces that allow us to accommodate different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet enjoys socializing with other animals or would prefer their own quiet space, we’re happy to make accommodations! We’re very intentional about preventing accidents. Food, medications, cleaning supplies, and other potentially hazardous items are kept securely stored to prevent accidental ingestion. Pets are supervised during outdoor activities and interactions with other animals, and we never force introductions or allow unsupervised interactions between resident pets and guests. Our own dogs are crate-trained, which allows us to safely separate everyone whenever necessary. One of the biggest benefits of our household is that someone is almost always home! On the rare occasion we both need to step out, we make sure every animal is safely secured in an appropriate space. I’m also happy to accommodate crate routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions your pet may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same approach while respecting their established routines and environment. I make sure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are handled appropriately, and pets receive the attention, exercise, and supervision they’re accustomed to. I understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big deal. As someone with a houseful of animals myself, I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re safe. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to detail that I expect for my own animals, while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way!

About: I've been a pet sitter for more than a decade. I am thoroughly proficient with puppies and high energy dogs, such as Golden Retrievers. I enjoy looking after and creating connections with pets and their owners alike. I have open availability to care for your pets! I am currently on the job hunt, and I am pursuing pet setting as a side opportunity. I believe that the best care is around the clock supervision, and clear/concise communication with pet owners. I am always keeping the pets under my care stimulated and enjoying our time together.

About: Located in the Tesoro Viejo, Madera Area Hi! Thanks so much for considering me to care for your pets. I provide experienced, compassionate pet care and treat every animal as if they were my own. I bring years of hands-on pet care experience, strong business values, and a calm, thoughtful approach shaped by life experience. I’m attentive to routines, quick to notice changes, and committed to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and loved. My rates reflect the level of care I provide. While I may not be the least expensive option, clients often choose me for my reliability, consistency, and the peace of mind that comes with experience and maturity. I’m also a part-time elementary school teacher, and caring for others — children, animals, and families — is something I’m deeply passionate about. This allows me to create thoughtful, reliable schedules that work well for both pets and their people. I’m based in the Tesoro Viejo area, which allows me to provide dependable, convenient care for nearby clients. I am experienced in providing care for dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, ducks, and horses. I honestly have to say, I fall in love with all of them. If you’re looking for more than just a sitter — someone you can truly trust — I’d love to help. I am a part time elementary school teacher with a flexible schedule which allows me to be available at most times throughout the day to provide pet care services. I’m also available weekends and for overnight visits. I care for pets in their own home and focus on maintaining a routine that is familiar and comforting to them. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to ensure their pets feel safe and secure. Whether it’s for drop-in visits, dog walking, or enrichment activities, I always give pets my full attention, offering affection, playtime, and care tailored to their individual needs. I also ensure the home is left as it was when I arrived, respecting the owner's space and belongings.

About: I’ve had a deep connection with animals for as long as I can remember. I currently share my space with my 3 companions, being my dog and two cats. Over the years, I’ve been entrusted by friends and family members alike to care for their beloved fur babies. My love for this work stems from my genuine affection for these animals, treating them with the same level of care and consideration as I would a person (perhaps even to an added degree). My current experience in pet care primarily consists of senior animals, each with unique health requirements. Though I’ve worked with many animals, I firmly believe that each pet has its own unique set of needs and distinct personality. I am committed to building a relationship with your pet so that I can learn who they are and what they love! I am currently available throughout all days of the week. Whenever your pets need someone to spend quality time with, I will more than happily be there to provide that for them. I am available 24/7 to your pets. I can adapt my routine to whatever their needs may be. Feel free to reach out at any time.

About: I grew up with pets my whole life since i was 10 both cats and dogs and many other types of pets i enjoyed being around. I currently have no job and am available for any time during the week and am interested in taking care of pets with living next to a park. i care for pets as to play with them and give them my full attention and script on how you’ll like to give them care.

About: I have always grown up with animals in my home, mainly dogs and cats and some small creatures. I currently have two standard poodles. I started out taking care of other people's animals when I was a freshmen in high school with my neighbors' animals. When I started driving, that's when I expanded my services to staying overnight in other people's homes to take care of their animals. I recently graduated from Sonoma State University and taking a gap year before I get my masters degree. So right now, my schedule is pretty flexible and love any animals. Any time that someone needs care for their animals, I’m very happy to help out in any way that I can! When I stay overnight in other people's homes, if your animals need to be crated, I can do that and let them out at night if needed to go to the bathroom. I provide dog walking either morning or night.

“We have been using Kara for a few weeks now for dog walks and she has been great. We have 2 pit bull breeds with a combined weight of 130lbs. Kara has done a fantastic job walking them both and we feel comfortable with her to handle them when they get excited. She is timely and communicative which we appreciate!”

“Where do I even begin?! John has been a godsend to my Pitty, Aubrey and I. The moment he met Aubrey on our meet and greet, I could tell he knew what he was doing and was comfortable, which made me comfortable! Not only has John watched Aubrey, but he’s taken the extra time and care to teach and train her. I can tell he has a real love for animals, as well as being very personable, professional, and compassionate to towards Aubrey’s needs. Aubrey was rescued at 3 months old and has developed some aggression issues with other dogs, so she is not an easy one to walk at times. She also was diagnosed with a severe heart murmur and underwent a pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty, which John has been very mindful off. John has exceeded my expectations with knowledge and tools to help me help my furchild. 😊 John even brought high grade treats from home to help train Aubrey. He’s been dependable and consistent. He sends amazing photos and videos throughout the day. 10/10, highly recommend. Will be working with John as long as we can. :)”

About: I grew up in a big family with a bunch of pets. We had dogs, cats, chickens, even bunnies. I’ve taken care of fur babies up until they were grown 🐕 Your babies are safe with me🐶 I have had way too much free time lately, I thought what better way to occupy it than with a fur baby by my side I live in a gated apartment neighborhood. I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, as well as time outside if preferred. I do have a safe and minimalist home with everything your fur baby would need. Extra bowls, toys, etc.

“Absolutely fantastic. Was on time, super sweet and was able to handle my pittie who pulls on walks”

About: Animal care has always been a passion of mine. Currently taking care of a pack of French Bulldogs Growing up I had 5-6 dogs I was responsible for feeding,grooming, exercising ect. Professionally I have worked in kennels for about 6-8years, ranging in groups of 2-50. As a kennel technician I was responsible for maintaining a leveled space for everyone to play and exercise or even relax. I do have experience in medication administration, oral, topical, rectum, shots. I have also a year of being a veterinary assistant which is what I'm currently pursuing and absolutely love it. My schedule is wide open currently! I just moved back to the Central Valley and I'm flexible. I have school online for Veterinary Technology and have started school for LVN as well. While doing a house sitting or drop-in, I always greet the animals check food and water bowls, make my way to the yard and ALWAYS check the yard before letting out animals. I will walk around the house to make sure there were no accidents or anything out of sorts really. I make sure doors are closed that need to be and always give the love that's needed.

About: We all love our fur friends, but life gets in the way sometimes. That’s why I’m here! My family once had 5 dogs and 1 cat all at once, and I loved every second of it.

Just let me know, I am honestly really flexible. I just don’t have the space to sit, but I dan walk your pets and sit them at your home! I current can’t sit at my home, but at your home, I will follow every safety rule AND SOME because this is someone’s fur baby.
