Dog Walking Northstar

“Quinn is so reliable and honestly very trustworthy! She’s been walking my dog for now a little over a week and hopefully she’ll keep on walking her because not only does my dog love her, but I love her too! She always asks questions in case anything is unsure, she’s quick to respond, and she’s very accommodating. For example, today, my door was locked and she couldn’t get in, so she waited and had to deal with the office to unlock the door for her. She’s very professional and like I said, very trustworthy. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat”

“Sydney was absolutely amazing and reliable. We trusted her to take care of our Moxxi because she has experience with reactive dogs. Also helps that our dog loves her! We appreciate the help, and I will not hesitate to reach out again whenever we're ever working long days. Thank you!”

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including paid pet-sitting experience. I'm also a proud dog owner, so I understand how important it is to find someone dependable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I have experience caring for puppies, including helping with basic training, positive reinforcement, potty training, leash manners, and establishing consistent routines. I understand that puppies require extra patience, attention, and encouragement as they learn and grow. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it's an energetic puppy who loves to play or a laid-back dog who enjoys a relaxing walk, I tailor my care to help them feel comfortable and happy. I believe communication is just as important as quality pet care. I'll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: to treat every pet with the same love, kindness, and attention I give my own dog, Pepper! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a proud dog owner. I'm used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets receive plenty of love and attention. As an independent contractor, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. This allows me to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs, whether it's an early morning walk, a midday drop-in visit, an evening potty break, or overnight house sitting. I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active, so dog walking and caring for pets fit naturally into my lifestyle. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to work around their schedule to keep them comfortable and happy. I'm dependable, organized, and committed to showing up on time, following instructions, and providing regular updates and photos. My goal is to offer flexible, reliable, and personalized care that gives pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner with years of pet-care experience, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines and environment to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special needs or preferences. I also respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet is supervised and cared for appropriately. During walks, I pay close attention to each dog's behavior, energy level, and surroundings, always prioritizing safe handling and positive experiences. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce established training routines and provide the extra patience and attention they need. I believe trust is built through reliability and communication. I'll provide regular updates and photos, and I'll never hesitate to reach out if I have questions or concerns. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same kindness and attention I give my own dog.

“Carmen has been a terrific dog walker for our two hounds. They were practically smiling in the photos she’d send us each day. 5 stars and would definitely recommend to anyone in the Davis area looking for assistance with their pets.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for the last 4 years, with neighbors and friends relying on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have raised and trained a labradoodle puppy who is now 1.5 years old. I am currently studying biology at UC Davis. I am available after 5 pm on weekdays and on the weekends. I'm also available to care for your dog over the holidays, like winter break and Christmas. I have a fenced backyard with a grass area. Additionally, I also have a friendly labradoodle to keep your dog company. I can also carate your dog, if you prefer.

“Suhani took wonderful care of my corgi, Willy, for a few hours, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. She went above and beyond by baking homemade dog treats for him, taking him on a nice walk, and showering him with plenty of love and attention. When I picked Willy up, he was happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired—the perfect sign that he had a fun and enriching time. It's clear that Suhani genuinely cares about dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust her with Willy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, and reliable pet sitter.”

“Siiri was so great with our dog! She was patient and encouraging, and somehow handled all his idiosyncrasies with grace. She was also easy to communicate and schedule with. We will definitely hire her again.”

About: Hello, I have always been an animal lover since visiting my Grandma's farm as a kid. My first job for that I held for 4 years in High School was at a Vet hospital, where I fed, cleaned, walked, cared for and groomed the boarding dogs and cats. As an adult, I have loved animal watching/walking for friends and family. As a volunteer, I fed and cleaned the farm animals at a non-profit ranch for autistic children. I work full time in the medical field and enjoy being active so I am excited to get outside for walks and visit your pets on my days off. I am no able to own pets where I live, so I would love to be able to care for yours. Thank You, Megan I am available multiple days a week to walk and drop-in care for pets. My work schedule changes each week but I am able to scheduled services a week in advance. I would care for a pet at a client's home. I do not have a yard but would be happy to travel to the pet's home to socialize and make sure that they are feeling safe and comfortable.

About: Having cared for dogs since the age of 13, I bring a wealth of experience and a deep passion for canine care. Over the years, I've lovingly tended to my own two dogs, providing them with attentive care, training, and ensuring their happiness and well-being. Trusted by friends and neighbors, I am known for my reliability and dedication in handling various breeds and temperaments. From daily walks to check ins, I prioritize the comfort and safety of every dog under my supervision, ensuring they receive the utmost care and attention! :) I am a college student and available at any time of the day to walk your pup! Feel free to reach out and ask me any questions:) When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. I ensure to maintain a clean and safe environment and am diligent in following any special instructions provided by the client regarding medications, grooming, or other specific care requirements. I will keep clients updated on their pup’s activities and well-being to provide reassurance while they are away.

About: I am currently an animal care assistant at a pet hotel where my main task is walking and taking care of animals straying with us! I also have been a vet assistant for a little under a year now but have handled numerous animals in my time! I would feed, clean, walk, and bathe as well as administer medications, flea/tick, dewormer, vaccines, etc! I’ve also grown up with cats my whole life and help walk my friends and family’s dogs from time to time! I am currently a college student at UC Davis and am available all weekends, as well as Monday Wednesday and Friday 9am-4pm! Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available 11am- 2pm depending! I love snuggling and playing with all furry animals but know when boundaries are set! I am very attentive and will always be aware of mine and your animal’s surroundings

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs at all stages of their lives! From birth to old age, I have bottle-fed and waned puppies, kitten sat, as well as administered insulin shots and oral medications to older cats and dogs. One of my kitties now also takes an oral pill twice daily, so I also have some experience giving cats pills :). I am a full-time student who just moved to Davis! I have a flexible schedule, meaning maintaining strict feeding or medication times should be no problem! I make sure all water sources are clean and replaced regularly, food bowls and cans are rinsed/washed immediately to avoid lingering smells, and do a quick walk-through of the pets' spaces to make sure your fur baby(s) didn't get into things they weren't supposed to. I also love plants, so in my own home, i keep them watered and check regularly for if there are new chomps in them and would be very happy to do the same for you if that is at all a concern :). And, of course, I offer plenty of play time with the kitties!

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a child. I have a 17 year old dorkie (dachshund/yorkshire terrier mix) at home that I love very much! I've used my free time to volunteer at animal shelters and would love another way to interact with animals while I attend law school. I attend law school so before and after class, as well on the weekends, I am available! I can be even more flexible on days that I don't have class. As I have my own pet I know to make sure to pay attention to whatever they want and need whether it's food, play time, nap time, or to go outside!

“Xitlalli was able to take care of my sweet Bear this week even though my need was last minute. She took great notes for us and adorable pictures. I felt good about how much real time updates I got about how my Bear was doing.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12! I am comfortable walking all types of dogs, playing, boarding, and making them happy :) I work 3 days a week, the other 4 days I use for marathon training, working on supply chain projects, meal prepping, being active, and traveling around California when able. On my four days off, I can dedicate time to walks and other forms of pet care. I am a very active person and can take your dog on extra long walks. My apartment is pet friendly and could be a good place for your furry friend to hang out!

About: We are excellent dog, cat, bird, poultry, reptile, and fish caretakers as we have raised most of these, and a few years ago, we had a thriving Rover business taking care of folks' animal babies. We can take care of medications if your pet needs: We have administered medicine to most of the animals on our list, including oral medication for a rooster and injections for a snake. We have had some experience in training our current dog as a service animal. While we have not had the chance to care for farm animals on our own, we love them and have had experience being around them (horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs, alpaca). Animals, plants, gardens, farms, and home-care are all in our wheelhouse and are the foundations to our lives. If you are looking to have your fur baby stay with us, we have a large home with a fenced backyard. Our German Shepherd loves to play with other dogs, and we take him and our guests to local dog parks or fenced fields to play ball and or frisbee. We take care of our guests exactly how we want our pup to be taken care of! I work part time remotely and part time I will need to be in the field. What that means is a lot of the time, I will be in the home, hanging with your furry, feathered, or scaly baby, working on my laptop. During the times I need to work outside of the home, my 19 year old daughter (who has been doing Rover with me since she was 11) will give the best care in my place. I have a thriving Airbnb business in my home for over a decade, so I have a ton of experience and mindset on home-care: I treat other folks' pets and homes as well as I treat my own. I make it point to keep my clients connected via photos and updates. If I am providing boarding in my home, our 4 year old German Shepherd will love to play with your pup. If I am providing sitting in your home, then my pup will stay home unless requested for a playmate in your home.

“Ally is awesome. She goes above and beyond to help us with our senior dog, staying late and adjusting to our dog’s needs. She’s kind, diligent, responsive, and easy to work with. 5+ stars!”

“Faith walked my dog for a week when I was busy with work and she was great. She’s one of those people who dogs just love. She was always on time and went the extra mile to make sure the water bowl was full before leaving. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs, both are low to medium energy. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered senior dogs before for a rescue. For safety reasons, all the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. Walks twice a day, no dog park trips unless owner requests for safety precautions. No human aggression is allowed, any growling/nipping/snapping for no reasons is not acceptable. If your dog is being too stressed among other dogs, I have separate room to place him/her, and he/she will get quality along time with human every day. Pictures and videos will be send out about 5-10 times/day. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home for safety purposes. Anyone being too stressed will have a separate room for resting.
