Dog Walkers in Murphys, CA

“I'm Claire's father. Before Claire was born, I was a regular guy with some knowledge of animals, but not a lot. Starting with a stray cat in our garage when she was three-years-old, who she kept and named Moonshadow, Claire was a natural at getting animals to trust her. Me, not so much because sometimes I didn't understand them, and whenever that happened they scared me a little. I was ready for them to react badly and had planned out my response ahead of time. The nervous animals could tell I was thinking this, and they stayed away. I watched little Claire control excited dogs at the park who were thrilled that someone understood them. I watched her calm scared stray cats who appreciated a rare petting and socializing. I started learning by copying Claire's technique of movement and body language to gain an animal's trust. It came together with practice, and you were either born with it or you learned it by example from an expert. Claire was born with it, and she has always been my go-to expert for animal problems.”

“Trevor is our son. He was raised in a rural part of Calaveras County on our ranch. He is a kind, respectful, reliable, considerate, thoughtful young man. Trevor has helped care for a variety of animals here on our ranch. Horses, rabbits, chickens, koi, pigeons, doves, dogs and cats. He loves animals immensely. Trevor has watched our ranch numerous times over the years when we vacation.”

“Jenny was quick to respond, flexible and awesome with Ryan. He can be a wild puppy to walk but was great for her. They walked a few miles and two hours. She gave him treats and water on the way. Highly recommend and will use Jenny again! Thanks!”

About: I grew up on a ranch, so I have extensive experience with all types of birds, horses, goats, cats, and dogs. I’ve house/pet sit for family and friends over the years. I have one fur baby of my own that stays with my parents when I’m not home. Dogs are the sweetest animals to walk this earth, change my mind. I work three days a week traveling, so I typically have 4 days a week available. Can travel in the Calaveras and Tuolumne county areas. My schedule give me the flexibility to check in with your pet throughout the day. Unfortunately, I don’t offer pet sitting for my house as I live with friends. I’m happy to take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home/ safe space. I am ever vigilant on walks and take into account things like daily temperature when scheduling or planning walks/outings.

“Linda is a very caring loving person specially when it comes to animals. She has taken care of my 2 pups quite a few times and my dogs love her! I have one who has severe separation anxiety and he does so well with her. She is a great candidate for this.”

About: Willing to take care of most any dogs of all shapes and sizes, while watching your home. I love all animals but am most fond of dogs :) Although I grew up with cats, I am not generally a cat person unless they are super chill/nice. My grandparents owned a pet store in Alameda when I was younger called "The Living Picture" and I had to feed/water all the animals, so I do have the experience, but I'd say more recently it's just been dogs and the occasional cat. Just let me know what you have, and I'll let you know my comfort level. :) I am willing to travel outside of my area (Dorrington/Big Trees) for pet sitting but would like to keep dog walking and drop-ins to my general area of Big Trees/Arnold/Murphys. If you do not live in those areas, then it would be a 1 hour minimum for all walking & drop-in services. I'm currently available full-time for pet/house sitting so I will be able to give both your beloved animal(s) and your home my full attention (as long as I'm not booked)! I will keep my calendar up to date so you can rely on what it says. While pet/house sitting I will walk and play with your fur-baby(s) as much as they like or can handle. I will also send photos to you on a daily basis! I am willing to do other things like pick up dog poop in your yard (if that is where they go), bring in mail, water plants, etc. My rates are set for everyday animals and not 'special needs', so if your doggie or cat needs special attention or has behavioral issues then my rate would go up and reflect the amount of extra care or attention your fur baby requires.

“Joshua has been such a pleasure to work with for not only me, but also my lovely animals. Every time I need to go out of town, the stress about my pets have been nothing but obsolete. I know I can trust the safety of my pets and my home to Joshua. I love that Joshua is always willing to ask any questions or send me pictures of my dogs when I’m out of town. Or even when I’m busy at work, he’ll come by to check on my pups and take them on walks.

“I am so happy to know Jenny is looking after my pup- Baby. To be able to leave her in her own home with Jenny is the best. She looks after the house and the dog very well. With the cost of dog hotels this has to be the best choice. Plus I don't have to worry about my pup picking something up. You can enjoy your business trip or vacation knowing that the pup is getting the best care and isn't in some place in a crate thinking she has been deserted. After knowing Jenny for nearly 20 years, I can recommend her. I have never met Jenny when she hasn't been up beat and a pleasure to be around, so when you get home you have a happy pup and a smiling face to greet you.”
