Dog Walkers in Mark West Springs, CA

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: I've loved taking care of animals since I can remember so I'm so excited to be able to care for yours! As an Animal Science major, I really would love to get as much experience with animals as I can. I'm available to meet your pets needs on a day to day basis if needed. I am a student exited to take strolls with pets. Currently, I cannot offer a place to care for your animals but I am more than able to care for them in your home. I can look after your pets by entertaining them, walking them, and feeding them all while being respectful of your space.

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.

“Christina has been walking our dogs, Aldo and Luna, regularly for a few weeks now. She is always on time, great at communication during scheduling, and the dogs come home from the walk happy.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. Until 2022, I shared my life with my beautiful pug, Pia, who was truly the best thing that ever happened to me. Through her, I learned that excellent dog care requires consistency, attentiveness, and genuine love. I am experienced in providing structured daily care — healthy, appropriate meals, regular walks, fresh water, clean bowls, and bathing when necessary. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly to their needs. I also understand that dogs, like people, have emotional needs. If they’re feeling achy, anxious, or simply a little sad, I offer gentle massage, comfort, and calm companionship. When your dog is with me, they will be treated as family — safe, respected, exercised, and loved. ❤️ I am available everyday for daily walks and at your home stays, if you require it. Any days that I'm not available will be blocked from my schedule. I live in a adorable cottage in the McDonald neighborhood in Santa Rosa. I am able to stay with your pet if you need to travel. Long term arrangements need to be planned with enough notice.

“Ashleigh was amazing and so helpful! She responded super quickly and was great at keeping me updated on everything, letting me know what Max needed and what I needed to do. Plus, she was on time! And she even remembered to bring along a leash that I'd forgotten to grab myself. Max looked happy and was definitely well taken care of during his walk. I would definitely recommend Ashleigh!”

My house is totally set up for all dogs to have an amazing time with us. 1/2 acre fenced backyard with redwood trees to smell and lots of adventure and space to run around and just relax under all the redwood trees.

About: I have cared for pets since I was a child; walking neighbors’ dogs, and caring for the dogs, cats, birds and fish in my own home. I currently have two rescue dogs that I adore, and I would love to care for your fur babies! I am a stay at home mom of my 11 year old son and my two dogs, so I have plenty of time to play with your animals! I have a fenced yard and two friendly rescue dogs. I love to walk and play with animals of all kinds. I am a crossing guard, and am very aware of traffic safety.

“Rachael has been wonderful and very professional since our first conversation. She provided updates and pictures of our dog Benny after the walk. We appreciate her very much, and trust she takes great care of Benny while they are together.”

About: I love animals so much I got a degree in Animal Science and I'm pursuing a Vet Tech certification! I have personal experience caring for a variety of dogs in my life: A HIGH energy pitty puppy, a senior and disabled corgy-shepard, and my very own dog, Sheldon, the rainbow terrier rescue ❤️. I absolutely love hanging out with dogs, going on walks, giving pets, winning over shy hearts, and even helping guide rambunctious puppies in the right direction with patience. I just graduated college and have a very open schedule right now, I can do early or late, any day of the week or weekend. I'm happy to stop by to check in on, feed, walk, play, hang out with any pets. I'm experienced with animals and love them all with my whole heart. I also understand security and privacy concerns, I will always respect a customer's home like my own and not judge or mess with anything.

About: I started my dogsitting business out of my home over 6 years abo and now I petsit at people's homes. Animals are more comfortable at their own home I also have been trained as a dog walker at the Sonoma County Animal Shelter and worked at a dog kennel (now closed...Anderson Acres) I'm a personal trainer that teaches people on Zoom so I am at home most of the day. I am an active person that loves walking dogs and own 2 rescues. I only care for animals in the owner's home. I do not board animals in my home. I make sure that all doors/gates are secure so no animal escapes.

“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.”

“I had to go out of town and booked Lynne at the last minute for day-time walks when no one was home. Her responses were always prompt, her communication was effective and clear, and I felt absolutely comfortable entrusting my pups to her. I also ended up extending my stay last minute and she was fully accommodating. I had let her know that two of my dogs may be a little shy at first, but they apparently were very fond of Lynne, and after just a few days of being walked by a new human, they are more friendly in general to strangers! Thanks Lynne, for taking great care of my pups. I would absolutely recommend Lynne To anyone needing the services she offers.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I have volunteered at the humane society and worked with multiple dog trainers. I have worked with 3 puppies in the last 2 years, house breaking them and teaching basic commands like sit and leash walking. I am self employed and make my own hours. This leaves me available and flexible to make time for dogs while most of my time is spent with my dogs, I make time to spend at least 1 hour a day playing with my cat. I believe in positive reinforcement and a loving environment. For the most part my dogs are not allowed on furniture so I get on the ground and love upon them. I believe a dog should be a dog, but practice consistency in rules.

“Stacie, was absolutely awesome with my dog Willie. She treated him like a king. She gave me constant updates on their daily adventures. I would without a doubt recommend her to watch your dogs. They will be in great hands.”

About: I started taking care of dogs, cats, rodents, and fish when I was 10 years old. Including our own, neighbors’, friends’, and families' pets. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and bathing. I love animals and would appreciate the opportunity to care for your furry loved ones while you are on vacation, working or having fun. I can walk, feed, play with, and take your pet for potty breaks around any schedule that you prefer. My schedule is very flexible currently. If walking your dog, I will securely put them back in the designated area. If housesitting, I will follow the routine and guidelines you set.

“Our dog is so happy when she sees Maureen.”
