Dog Walking North Growth Area

About: I have grown up with dogs of all breeds and sizes. At one point my family had five dogs at home. I currently have two dogs of my own so I know how much love, attention, and patience pets need. One of my dogs just turned 11 months and had her since 8 weeks of age so I’m fresh on puppy schedule and care. From playful puppies to older dogs who just want snuggles I am comfortable caring for them all. I will treat your pets like part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while you are away. During summer time I am free all the time so I can normally help whenever you need me! Starting September my schedule changes a little but I will have availability in the afternoon and all day during the weekends. I work from 6-8 am and then 12:15-4:30 pm. HELP A GIRL QUIT HER JOB (that makes her want to cry twice a week ✨). I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable whether they are in my home or yours. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and pay attention to their routines. I provide plenty of love, gentle guidance, and a calm environment so pets feel secure and happy while in my care.

“We had a great experience with Eleonora! She was super friendly during our first meet and greet and took excellent care of Keno during his daily morning walks over 5 days. She was punctual, followed every instruction, and sent sweet photo updates every day. Seeing Keno so happy made me so happy. I highly recommend Eleonora and would gladly book her again! 🐾”

About: I have had dogs all throughout my life ranging from golden retrievers to golden doodles! Throughout all of my experience with living and loving these animals, one thing that they love more than their owners... is the WALK! This is where they can explore the world and smell to their heart's desire. For this reason I believe I am great dog walker as I want the dog to have a great experience moving from smell to smell! I am currently taking classes for nursing school, so my schedule is quite flexible! Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are all days I am free to walk! I prefer the morning however, I can work around if needed. I have 2 dogs and walk them twice daily. Once in the morning (7-10am) and once during dinner/night (5-8pm) time! While I would not bring my dogs on the walk that is how I schedule my dogs walks! Since I will only be walking dogs, your dogs will never be in my house. However, I have two dogs with a large backyard, a pool, and a gate surrounding it all!

About: Hi, I'm Anna. I am not your typical dog walker. I have a bachelors degree in animal science, a masters degree in applied animal behavior and welfare and a second masters degree in psychology, so I can handle anything your furbaby can throw at me! I have a wide range of experience from working with shelter dogs in Sacramento to working with cheetahs in Africa to working with sheep in Wales, and everything in between (including teaching chickens to run an obstacle course). I am here to offer a wide range of services from house sitting, pet sitting, pet training, and pet grooming. I love to work with animals to help them become the best version they can be. I can't wait to serve your family as best I can! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to devote to my true passion: taking care of animals! I am available for over night stays, drop ins, and walks. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own! I do my best to ensure a stress-free visit every time I stay with a pet.

About: I’ve been around pets for as long as I can remember. We had cats growing up and when I turned 9, we got our first dog. It was then that I took on more responsibility as a pet owner. I would regularly walk her around our neighborhood and I spend a lot of time with her in the pool teaching her fun tricks. Ever since then, I’ve taken care of our, now, two dogs and those of friends and family. I’m a full-time production assistant in Fresno, CA. I have standard in office days and days when I’m on set for 8+ hours. I am currently only accepting weekend bookings to ensure I can give your pets the utmost time and care their deserve! Once my weekdays quiet down, I’ll open them up for availability. I am a full-time production assistant in Fresno. Weekdays are currently too inconsistent in structure for me feel confident I can provide the same attention and care your pets deserve, as I know I can provide on weekends. That being said, I’m great for weekends! I’d be happy to create peace of mind while you’re away. While unable to bring dogs into my own home, I can and will gladly take your dog on a walk around your neighborhood. I am adamant about strong communication. I send updates about when I arrive, what I was able to feed them, if we played, if they went poddy, how I tidied up, and when I leave!

“Kate communicated well and is easy to work with! Love that she has a lot of experience with animals and I am at ease when my dog is with her.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and had an English Bulldog for almost 8 years as well as a bull mastiff growing up, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Over the years, I’ve also pet sat and dog walked for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m looking to broaden my pet-sitting and dog walking experience and would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own! I’m currently a full-time online student, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. Aside from going to the gym or running an occasional errand, I’m usually home, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love throughout the day! Since my classes are online, I’m able to easily work pet care into my daily routine and make sure your dog isn’t left alone for long periods of time. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard with plenty of grass and room for dogs to play, run around, and get fresh air safely. I also don’t currently have any dogs in my home, so your pet will get my full attention and won’t have to worry about unfamiliar animals. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I also love taking dogs on walks and can adjust the length and pace depending on their age, energy level, and usual routine.

About: I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds, and have been taking care of them since I was 9. I own exotic pets as well as the standard cats and dogs, and am more than happy to do whatever you need to help out you and your pets! I am committed to provided the highest quality of care for your pets from sunrise to sunset, and overnight when needed, each and every day. Being fear-free certified through animal shelters that I work at, I am experienced in caring for and interacting with your pets in the way that works best for them, no matter their needs!

“Amazing communication, adjusted to last minute request. I HOPE she'll be available next time!! I will definitely request her again and hope she is available!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every kind since I was 10—big, small, shy, or extra wiggly! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and pamper their pets for years. Along the way, I’ve also cared for reptiles, birds, and other unique companions. Whether it’s a turtle that needs tank time, a parrot that loves to chat, or a pup who lives for belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of the family! I’m a college student with an open and flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and can easily adjust my hours to fit your pet’s routine. My home is spacious, cozy, and fully pet-friendly! I have plenty of toys, treats, bones, and comfy spots for pets to relax and play. While I don’t have a yard, I’m close to several beautiful dog parks and walking trails here in Clovis—perfect for daily walks and exercise. Pets in my care enjoy a safe, fun, and loving environment where they’re treated like part of the family.

About: ⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING ⚠️ To ensure we're a good fit and to respect both our time, please review my pricing and policies below before reaching out. Thank you! Welcome! I'm so glad you're here 🐾 Why families choose me I know how hard it is to leave your furry family member with someone new. That's why I'd love for you to visit my home before booking – see where your pet will stay, meet me in person, and get a feel for the environment. No pressure, just peace of mind. Here's what makes my care different: I only take two to three pets at a time. Yes, I have space for more, but I intentionally keep things small. Your pet isn't just another booking; they get my full attention, a calm environment, and the kind of care I'd want for my own pet. Since I work from home, your pet is never alone. If your pup has separation anxiety or just loves company, they'll have me nearby all day. I genuinely treat every guest like they're part of my family. What you can expect • Photos you'll actually love: I take pride in capturing beautiful moments of your pet. Check out my profile photos – that's the quality you'll get! I want you to see your pet's personality shine and know they're happy and loved. • Real communication: During business hours, you can call me anytime. Need an update? Have a question? I'm here. Your peace of mind matters. • A spotless home: My place is deep-cleaned weekly. It's fresh, odor-free, and hygienic. You're always welcome to visit! Just a heads up – I do ask guests to remove shoes to keep things pristine. • Safe outdoor space: The backyard has seven gorgeous redwood trees that provide tons of shade. That said, your pup will spend most of their time inside with me, where it's cool and comfortable. I never leave dogs unsupervised outside for extended periods. • A calm, quiet home: No young kids, and no elderly family members. Just a peaceful space where your pet can relax and be the star of the show. • No pool: One less thing to worry about! Safety first. Important details about care & pricing • Veterinary care: If I notice anything concerning about your pet's health, I'll contact you immediately (and Rover). If I can't reach you, I'll take them to the vet. All bookings are covered by Rover's Guarantee (up to $25,000 for eligible vet expenses). • Pricing adjustments: I do charge additional fees for certain situations to ensure I can provide the best care: Small: Base Rate Medium dogs: (30-60 lbs): +$15 Large dogs (60-90 lbs): +$20 Giant dogs (90-200 lbs): +$100 Puppies under 1 year (not potty trained): +$125 Why the large/giant dog fees? I want to be transparent about this. • Decline other reservations: due to the lack of space, I might need to be forced to cancel other reservations to ensure we have adequate space for your furry friend. • Space & capacity: When I host a large or giant breed, it often means I can only take one other pet (or sometimes no other pets) to ensure everyone has adequate space and comfort. This limits my availability for other bookings. • Physical demands: Larger dogs require more physical strength and energy – from handling on walks to managing their movements indoors. It's more intensive work to provide the attentive, hands-on care they deserve. • Wear and resources: Bigger dogs naturally need more of everything – more food, more space, more cleanup. They also create more wear on furniture, floors, and the home environment. • Individual attention: Every dog gets my full focus, but larger dogs often need extra time and specialized care to ensure they're comfortable and happy in my home. This pricing ensures I can give your large or giant dog the quality, individualized attention they deserve without compromising on care. Why the puppy fee? Puppies are wonderful, but they need specialized care! I take your pup out every 30 minutes to support their potty training and help them develop good habits. It's hands-on work, but it makes a real difference. If your puppy is already crate and potty trained, I'm happy to waive this fee. Again, please review these details before reaching out so we can make sure we're the right fit for your pet! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐕💕 A day in the life with me 🌅 I'm naturally an early riser, which works out perfectly for your pup! Here's what a typical day looks like: Morning: We start the day with a refreshing morning walk to get those legs moving and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day: Your dog will get regular potty breaks in my backyard all morning long. Since I work from home, I'm always here to let them out when they need it. Evening: When the weather's nice, we'll wind down with an evening walk to stretch, explore, and burn off any remaining energy. This is the exact routine I followed with my own dog, and it worked wonders for his potty training. He learned to trust that I'd take him out when needed, and I learned to trust that he'd wait. It's all about consistency and communication! Your dog will seamlessly become part of my daily rhythm – same love, same care, same attention I gave my own. They're not just a guest; they're family while they're here. 🐕❤️ 🐣They will be in a safe and secure environment, where no dog will be distressed. I prioritize understanding each dog's behavior by discussing their temperament with clients and taking proactive measures to ensure a calm and harmonious atmosphere. This is why I limit the number of dogs to a maximum of two per night, to maintain individual attention and safety for all pets involved.

“My Zoey loves Eric. He is knowledgeable about Frenchies and their personality. He is reliable, has excellent communication skills. Zoey is a rescue, and had a tough before life. She has trust issues, but immediately bonded with Eric. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Dalene! Since I was a child, my life has been dedicated to the health, safety, and happiness of my furry and feathered pets-those of my family members, neighbors, clients, and friends. Over the last 20 years, dogs and cats have been my main priority, and I have successfully cared for dogs of all temperaments and every size, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant breeds. What sets my care apart is my background in pet safety and medical support. I am trained in pet first aid and CPR, giving me the skills to stay calm and act fast in an emergency. I also have experience administering medications, including pills, liquids, and topical treatments. I prioritize reading body language, so l can identify if your pet has an illness, or is anxious and stressed. I know that changes can be stressful for pets, so my goal is to keep their days as normal as possible. When you book with me, I closely follow your established schedule. You will receive frequent updates and total peace of mind knowing your beloved pets are in mature, and knowledgeable hands. I have past volunteer experience working at the Monterey County SPCA, and worked mainly with the dogs, playing with them, taking them for walks, and evaluating new arrivals for adoption. It was so rewarding when they were adopted! I volunteered at the Monterey zoo, and helped care for monkeys, elephants, ferrets, etc. I have a crazy alligator story I will share with you if you ask! 🫣 I am a full time pet sitter, so I’ll have plenty of time for belly rubs, playing fetch, relaxing with your pets, long walks, and making sure their needs and routines are met. At this time, I only care for pets in your home where they are most comfortable, and I will provide a calm environment where they feel safe, nurtured, and loved. Each pet is unique, and I will care for them accordingly. I will send you photos of your pets throughout the day, to give you peace of mind, so you know they are happy and content. Safety is of utmost importance when it comes to your pets, and I’m aware of other dogs when out on a walk, and making sure doors and gates are closed. I will not have houseguests over. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets! 😊

About: I like working with animals because they are so kind and have the best hearts. I've always loved animals. I have 2 cats but want a dog someday as well. I'm definitely both a dog person and a cat person. Being around animals brings me so much joy! I'm looking for a job that I can enjoy and truly look forward to during my free time. I have just recently graduated with a Master in Speech Pathology and I am working part time as a speech therapist. My love for animals makes this the perfect job for me! One thing you should know about me is that I was raised to be very respectful of one's home and space. This is very important to me to express as I apply for these positions. I want pet owners to feel assured that I will be mindful in their home and that I am grateful of their trust in me to take care of their fur baby/babies. I’m available weekends all day and most Tuesday-Wednesdays. Every other day I have open to take care of your furry friends! I am open to overnights as well. I can do overnights any day of the week. I have 2 cats that I love with my whole heart. While I know that cat care and dog care are very different, the love that I would provide is the same. To me, it is important to give our pets the exercise, nutrition, and attention that they need.

“We were very satisfied with how Marrisa handled the assignment of walking our dog Maggie. Marrisa contacted us prior to the "meet n greet" walk to make sure all was OK with the scheduled timing. We were staying at a local Coronado hotel so the situation was not normal. Marrisa handled the situation wonderfully. We would not hesitate using Marrisa again.”
