Dog Walking Old Sacramento

“Sophia met with Miss Serenity prior to the scheduled walks! She was on time and very sweet to my pup! The time I had originally scheduled her was too hot for Serenity, so she adjusted the time to walk her, which was amazing! I would definitely recommend booking her to take care of your fur baby!”

About: Hi there! I’m Mel. I’ve had dogs in my life for over 30 years — growing up with Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, and Labs, and later caring for high-energy breeds like Huskies, Malamutes, Pit Bulls, and Dobermans as an adult. I’m comfortable with big dogs, strong pullers, and dogs who need real exercise, but I’m just as happy with a Chihuahua curled up on the couch. I spent 8 years as a nanny, so looking after something that depends on you completely isn’t new to me — it’s second nature. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I don’t board dogs in my own home, since I have a resident cat (a very opinionated tabby mix), but I’m experienced with cats too, including Maine Coons and other long-haired breeds, if you need a sitter for feline friends as well. I’ve handled the less glamorous parts of the job without blinking: medication schedules, backyard cleanup, even a dog who met a skunk face-first. My standard for every visit is simple — when you get home, your house should look better than when you left it, and your dog should be fed, exercised, and ready to sleep well. I treat your home and your animal the way I’d want mine treated. I’m self-employed, so my schedule is flexible and mostly built around dog care. I’m generally available 8am–6pm on weekdays, with some days running later. In the summer heat, I keep an eye on pavement temperature and adjust walk times so it’s safe on paws — sometimes that means earlier or later in the day rather than midday. Weekends are available with advance scheduling. I’m also happy to do drop-in visits spaced out over the day or across longer periods if that suits your dog’s routine better than a single visit. Since I don’t board dogs in my own home — I have a resident cat — all my care happens in your space, on your dog’s normal turf, which tends to be less stressful for them than an unfamiliar house. I follow whatever routine you set: meals, meds, walks, exercise. I’m comfortable administering medication, cleaning up after accidents or messes, and handling anything that comes up — I’ve dealt with a dog getting skunked, dogs with high energy who need real exercise, and the everyday logistics of keeping a home running while you’re away. My rule for every visit: your house should look better than when you left it, and your dog should be fed, exercised, and settled by the time you get home.

About: Hi there! I am a recent law school graduate currently studying for the bar exam. In addition to growing up with dogs, I also have experience dealing with reactive dogs. For a time I had a rescue dog, Judge, who struggled with aggression, leash reactivity, and general fear/anxiety. Training with him and learning from him made me extremely educated on dog safety, care, and proper protocols when out on walks to ensure a good time for everyone involved. I recently moved to Sacramento after graduating law school, and would love to walk your dog (and maybe even help with some training) while I am studying for the bar exam. Hope to hear from you! My study schedule for the bar is exam is flexible as it is a self-paced course. I normally go for a walk in the mornings before I start my day, but I am free any time to assist! I have a large SUV that I’m happy to take your dog along in for a little adventure! My favorite daily walks in Sac is along the American River and I’d love to bring a pup along. I am also happy to stay local to wherever you live and wherever your dog is most comfortable.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I now have a rescue dog that is 111lbs, & at 6 years old still thinks he’s a puppy. So I can handle a lot of dog sizes, weights & personalities. Here for walks or check ins & feeding if you’re out of town or need help. Message me! 🐕🦮🐕‍🦺 I am available for afternoon and evening walks, check ins, feeding and play time. I am also available on weekends and Fridays after 12pm. Just let me know what works for you! I have a large dog at home that is a lot to handle so boarding in my home would be difficult. I am trustworthy and caring so you can trust your furry family member in my care.

About: Hi all! I’ve been around animals my entire life. Grew up with an Australian Shepherd. Since then have had a small Maltese mix and now a corgi who I love so dearly. Plus 2cats. I’ve cat/dog sat for the weekend for many family friends. I will play with your pet, brush your pet, give them fresh water! Take them on a walk or out to potty. And I will make it feel loved every second I’m there! I love animals and connect pretty well to them. So I hope my love for animals can help you feel comfortable with me taking care of your fur baby while you’re away! I just ask, no aggressive animals please. Thank you so much and I hope to work with you and your fur child soon! I would love to take your pup for a walk around the neighborhood to potty or get some sniffs in, or just stop in for some pets and love! I’m sure to give my dog lots of cuddles, exercise, and rest time. Toys are very important, and I believe in treats, but not overdoing it!

“Ryan is great with my pup and it is obvious he cares deeply for animals. He is super flexible and I'm so appreciative of him working with our schedule and for taking such good care of my fur child.”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.

About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I fostered puppies and adult dogs for four years, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I also grew up with working dogs, so I am very comfortable handling high-energy breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they require. Whether it's a playful puppy, an active working dog, or a senior pet needing extra patience and care, I adapt to each animal's individual needs. I am confident handling dogs on walks and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs as well :) I am a full time student looking to fill my summer by taking care pets instead of adopting more! I have extremely open availability, whatever your pet needs Ill be there. I wholeheartedly understand the anxiety and stress that can come with leaving your pet in someone else's care, I have those same feelings when it comes to my own pets. Because of that, I will treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness, along with your peace of mind, are always my top priorities. While I am caring for your pet, I will be readily available by text or phone and happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. 🐾

About: I’ve always loved animals and honestly just really enjoy being around them. I’m patient, attentive, and the type of person who will absolutely stop to say hi to a dog on the street!! I’m comfortable with dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to give them walks, playtime, attention, or just hang out with them if that’s what they need. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to fit pet care into my day. I enjoy getting out for walks and I love being around animals, so it’s something I’d genuinely enjoy doing. I’m able to work around your pet’s schedule and give them the attention and care they need. I know it can be hard to trust someone new with your pet, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll follow your instructions, pay attention to your pet’s behavior and needs, and make sure they’re safe during walks and visits. I’ll also keep you updated and send photos along the way because I know I’d want to know what my pet is up to while I’m gone.

About: Hi I'm Jess! I'm a dog lover with experience caring for dogs with seperation anxiety, dogs who need medication, reactive, and deaf dogs! Personally, a year ago I adopted a problem child dog from a local shelter and am currently trying to make more money to pay for his medical bills! I used to care for a deaf dog and am familiar with basic signs. Also, I worked as a professional dog walker for summers during college with a dog walking service called Sniff Seattle! Let me know if you'd like to chat about how I could best meet your pet care needs. I will note that I would need to bring my 2 year old basset lab mix with me for overnight stays. He is dog and human friendly, doesn't chew, or have accidents. He also has lived with a cat before and is not aggressive. Hello! I work from home so I am almost completely available to stay with your pet at all times. I walk Bartleby 3 times a day with one bonus potty break. I'm happy to play fetch or even run with your dog as needed. I am respectful of house rules and privacy. I do my best to leave the house cleaner than I found it while providing the best possible care for your pup or kitty! Be assured I'm an animal lover and will give your good boi or girl all the attention they need.
