Dog Walking in Merced

About: With 16 years of experience caring for my own dogs, I have successfully trained them and taught them a variety of commands such as stay, come, and roll over. I even taught my dog to open and close a cabinet to access their treat. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs, creating strong bonds, and ensuring their well-being. Since I have a shy, timid ten pound Maltese, I only watch dogs that are 25 pounds or less. As a young retiree from teaching with 16 years of experience, I have a flexible schedule and ample free time to care for your K9 family member. I'm available for boarding, walking, and playing with your dog, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. My open schedule allows me to cater to your pet's specific needs and provide them with the love and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, your dog will enjoy the company of my friendly, small Maltese female dog. I have dog toys and ample house space for play, as well as a fenced-in yard for safe, off-leash running and exercise. After walks, I rinse your dog's paws and pamper them with a touch of pure, natural lanolin for comfort. Your pet will be well-cared for and enjoy a loving, safe environment.

About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 25 years of experience in veterinary medicine, dog training, and behavior modification. I’ve studied animal behavior for more than 20 years and completed advanced coursework through the Karen Pryor Academy and Purdue University’s DOGS program. I specialize in senior care and dogs with chronic medical needs. I’m certified to administer medications—including sub-Q fluids, injectables, and emergency treatments—per your veterinarian’s instructions. My background includes everything from physical exams and radiology to surgery assistance, dental cleanings, and emergency care. Now semi-retired and home full-time, I offer boarding and daycare in a safe, loving environment. Our home features a spacious, fenced yard with 16 full-grown trees for shade and sunbathing. Inside, it’s dog-proofed with ramps, baby gates, and plenty of room for pups to stretch out and relax. Your dog will never be alone—my husband is home by the afternoon, and our adult son is currently attending college from home. We also have two friendly dogs and cats who love making new friends. Dogs are welcome on furniture and beds, but I’m happy to follow your preferences—whether that means crate time or a cozy bed beside mine We have all passed our background checks and are looking forward to meeting your fur baby and you. 🐶🦴🐕 I am currently home full time and my husband is home by the afternoon. Also, my Adult son is here going to College. Your fur babies will always have company to play or cuddle with. Plus, ALL of us have passed our background check! We have a spacious, fully fenced yard where your pup can play safely, along with two small, friendly dogs and cats who love making new friends. For our smaller guests, we offer ramps and stairs for easy access to cozy spots, and there’s plenty of room for larger dogs to stretch out and relax. Pups are welcome on furniture and beds, but if that’s not part of your home routine, just let me know—I’m happy if you bring a crate or a comfy bed to match your preferences.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young, especially dogs and even reptiles! I’ve spent many many hours researching different breeds of dogs so I could understand what they needed to be happy and healthy. I can even do bath times! With me, your pets will be in the best of care. I’m a stay at home mom who loves playing with pets and taking them on walks and play dates. I have a large vehicle which allows for me to transport pets easily. If you need them brought to the groomer or the vet? I’m your girl! I’m currently available to pupsit on weekends with weekdays on a case to case basis, I have two very friendly dogs who love making new friends! They are both crate trained which will allow those pets with a fear of others to thrive. My yard is fenced in as well and I have a 5yr old who loves to play with animals and go on very long walks

About: I love to go on walks, Long or Short. I will honor your request and make sure they get the best of care. I've had tons of experience caring for my own family's & close friends pets. I currently do not have any pets of my own, so it will be one on one with your fur babies. I'm retired. I go to yoga Mon - Thurs 9-10 am. I help with the care of my 96 year old mother. My schedule is pretty flexible & I'm available on weekends. I have plenty of time to walk and/or visit your fur baby/babies. When in your home I will respect like it was my Grandmas. I will keep to their schedules. Keep a clean environment. Always love on those fur babies

About: I’ve had dogs since I was little and have had two puppies. I will listen to, follow, and answer your request, recommendations, and concerns that you may have. I am currently not working, but I will take your pet on as many walks as you request. I am willing to play and bath your pets if requested. I will make sure to clean up after myself and your pet no matter the mess. I am willing to clean and make food for your pet if it requires me too.

About: Amo cuidar y criar a toda mascota, todo animalito es una creación de Dios amo el trabajo de cuidarlos y admirarlos talento Nato y garantizado soy un chico trabajador y me doy tiempo de cuidar animalitos desde los 8 años soy responsable con mi horario y rutina para todo momento Tengo la facilidad y el amor para cuidar en la casa de mi cliente todo tipo de animalitos es un gusto total darme el tiempo y hacerlo

About: I know how hard it is to find good pet care, but to also find someone you trust. I have experience with many different kinds of dogs. My own being an epileptic German shepherd-husky mix. She was a rescue, and with her health conditions, I find it important that I can find and trust someone to take care of her needs, from medications to in the event of an episode. My previous dog was a senior boxer rescuer who had numerous health issues and required a strict diet and strict medication schedule. He needed all-around care and did not like to be left alone; he was my everything, and when his old age caught up to him, I was heartbroken. But we did everything we could to keep him alive, from medications to diet changes and belly bands. Nothing astopped the love and the need to help my baby. My mom recently took in a lab who is going blind, who now I also have experience taking care of; she can no longer see, but that doesn’t stop her energy! She can still play ball, and she goes on walks and even swims. No ask is too big, and no schedule is too tight. Your babies become my babies, and I will do everything I can to give you peaceful insight while being away and give your furbabies a pawsome vacation! I am very flexible! The more heads up I’m given, I can accommodate and we can work something out for your babies. I can also work with last minute arrangements. I think it’s very important your pet is comfortable with me. Making sure we meet and they get along with me and use to my scent. And establishes your pets dos and don’ts. Such as is your pet a runner, reactive, or bitter? Questions like these create a safe space not only for your animal but for me as well, as I know them and they know me!

About: I love animals and making sure that they are loved and cared for! I completed a training program for a total of 210 hours and received a certificate in Veterinary Assistant. I also volunteer for a local rescue where we pull many cats and dogs from the very overpopulated shelter and send them out of state to find forever homes! I have plenty of time to care for your pups! Pet care fits into my weekly routine very well with being a caregiver during the day. I do weekly dog walks, house sitting and occasional drop-ins! *I am unavailable for the month of December. Thank you 😊 sorry for the inconvenience. I will make sure your pet has plenty of water and will feed when needed. I will check on your pet as often as needed to make sure they are safe.

About: I have experience handling various dog/cat breeds of all ages and health conditions. I'm mindful of their allergies and eliminating cross contamination during feeding/treat times, especially when feeding multiple animals at once. Administering medication is also a task I am comfortable with. I aim to provide the best care and attention to your pet(s) in those moments you are unable to and look forward to meeting your fur baby or babies! I'm currently available 7 days a week. Time is subject to availability but I'm willing to be flexible when and where I'm able to be. I am respectful, trustworthy and reliable. I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and understand the stress of something coming up that makes you late getting home and worrying about your dog being stuck in their kennel or in the house for too long without being let out or fed. I'm here to offer loving support and alleviate that stress from you. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and giving my clients the confidence that their fur baby is being taken care of is what I am here for. My mentality with dog care is the least amount of time they are kenneled or cooped up alone, the happier and healthier they will be!

About: I've had dogs and cats (and many other animals) since I was super little, but have dog sat since I was 9. I love taking dogs for walks or just watching them! I'm super energetic and am always down for a walk. I have two cats and a dog back at my parents house! I have experience watching senior dogs and puppies! I love going on walks and taking them for a pup cup! I'm currently a full time student at Arizona State University but I am completely online so I never have to worry about leaving my home for classes. I provide safe, attentive, and personalized care for pets in my home or my clients’ homes. Depending on the service, this may include feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and maintaining routines to ensure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I have a large back yard and can easily crate your animal if needed.

Fully fenced yard, two big pitbulls, love them to death and I love big cuddles, animals mean so much to me I don’t know what I’d do without them.

About: Animal care has always been a passion of mine. Growing up I had 5-6 dogs at all times, I was responsible for feeding,grooming, exercising ect. Professionally I have worked in kennels for about 5-7 years, 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 amd absolutely love it. My schedule is wide open currently! I just moved back to the central valley and have a bit of free time to burn. I'm flexible. I do not offer in my own home services. 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.
