Dog Walking Old North Sacramento

“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”

About: ur friendly neighborhood avid animal lover here to help you with your fur babies! as a former animal shelter employee and current animal hospital worker, I’m familiar with all different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, demeanors and needs. I’m comfortable with young puppies to seniors, nervous/shy cats, those who need medication and anyone in between ☺️ I’m located right in the heart of the Mission District and work in Noe Vallley, so anywhere in those two areas are easy for me to access. I also have a car and can access further if need be! As someone who has seen plenty of emergency cases in my profession, I’m very specially aware within people’s homes of what may be considered safe or unsafe for your baby. Just let me know if I need to keep an extra eye on a specific room or piece of furniture in your room!

About: I have owned dogs most of my life from a Doberman pinscher to a chowchow to an Australian cattle dog and a couple cats throughout my life. I love animals! I no longer have our latest family Australian cattle dog who was with us for 17 years and miss being around animals. I am an independent contractor in real estate so I can set my own hours. I’m very flexible! I love to get out and walk a lot for exercise for myself as well! I give them lots of love and attention that they need. Play with them and make sure they’re happy, exercised, and well fed at their eating time

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.

“Jasmine did a wonderful job looking after my dog while I was out of town. She was super helpful and my dog loved her! Will definitely be booking her in the future!”

About: I am here because I know how important it is to provide your pets quality care. I want your time away to be as convenient and stress free as possible. I know it can be difficult finding the right care and I am here to ease that worry while reassuring you I have experience and knowledge to provide quality care. I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away. I work from home and pets are provided care throughout the day. I know it can be hard to find someone you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet so I am to not only take excellent care of your pet but for you to rest assured your pet is in great hands. I have a fenced yard, as well as a space if you have a pet that needs to be confined or crated. I am happy to discuss needs and try to work out to make your pets stay as pleasant as possible. I ask that you provide all the things your pet is used to including schedule/ routine if you keep one so that their time away is comfortable and seamless.

About: I’m a pre-vet student with a strong passion for animals and experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, and sheep. I’m comfortable working with different types of animals and understand that each has unique needs.I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter and caring for animals, and I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m a student, but I have plenty of availability for pet care. I’m available all day Friday through Sunday, and on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 AM to 3 PM and 6 PM to 9 PM. I spend most of my time at home with my family, so I have a flexible schedule and can work with pet owners to find times that fit their pets’ needs. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable, and I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, and special needs. I live with my family, so I would discuss any care arrangements in my home beforehand. As a pre-vet student, animal safety and well being are very important to me.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for 25 years! I grew up walking and feeding my dog throughout childhood. I even rescued a dog of my own during college and managed his health conditions with medication for years before his passing. I have experience with young dogs and senior dogs who may additional needs. I also have experience with reactive dogs and love creating safe spaces to offer your pets chances to try their best. Throughout my life I have helped with dog walking and dog sitting, and loved it! I recently moved back to Sacramento and am looking for some doggos to brighten my day while I work remotely. I’d love to give you peace of mind that your pet is cared for and entertained! I currently work remotely and have immense flexibility with my schedule! I can schedule my breaks and lunch around dog walks and play time. I only go into the office Wednesday mornings, but my office is walking distance away from my home and I’m truly not gone for long. I have very clear and effective communication. I am confident I can assure you your pet will be taken care of like family! I’m open to having your pet come to my home and roam around. I don’t have anything in reach of a dog and can keep an eye on them at all times. Or I can crate them if that’s preferred. I also don’t mind going to your home if that’s easiest. I can work remotely from anywhere and keep your dog company. I also would not be multitasking when it came to performing dog duties. On walks and during play time, your pet would have my undivided attention. I take your pet and home’s safety very seriously.

“Markita is reliable and professional and communicates well. My dogs are comfortable with her so she is my go to dog walker when needed”

“Amina was available on short notice to walk my dog, took her to a park and let her chase squirrels which was very helpful while I was at work. She provided photos and updates every day. If I was local I would use her again!”

Michelle G.

“I have a small breed senior dog and a cat. Its hard to find someone I feel I can trust to give them the same care and attention as myself when I am away from home. Natalie is someone I know I can trust my babies with, she takes a bunch of photos each time she walks my dog and feeds him. She goes above and beyond every time and I can tell my dog and cat absolutely adore her and are happy when she comes to help. Thank you Natalie!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I adore all animals and really enjoy their company. Having two fur babies of my own I know the importance of having someone you trust take care of them. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. Pets are family and should be treated with love, compassion, and respect. I have taken care of animals of all ages. I can give medication if needed. I would love to spend time with your pets when you are not able to. I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I would have plenty of time to spoil your fur babies with walks and belly rubs. I can do doggy daycare and boarding almost any day and time as long as your dog is tolerant to other dogs and is up to date on vaccinations. Playtime, walks, snuggles, and whatever else your pups or cats needs are, I am more than happy to supply them with the love and attention they need while you are away.

About: As a dog trainer, I have the opportunity to help people build deeper relationships, communicate more effectively, and have more fun with their dogs. It’s a privilege to bring joy to my clients by strengthening the bond they share with their companions. My goal in training is to develop balanced, confident dogs. I believe a dog that understands what’s expected of them, and what they can expect from the world around them, is a dog that can move through life with confidence, security, and joy. I am a professional dog trainer so my full day is dedicated and devoted to the animals in my care. I often enjoy early morning walks at the river with my off leash pack, then I work and train dogs through the day. 1) Safety First: animal welfare is the #1 priority, full stop. 2) Relationship Second: training does not being until trust is built between animal and handler. This is very important - I will never push the animal faster than they are ready to move or faster than the trust and relationship will support. 3) Goals Third: after we ensure safety and build a trusting relationship, we can prioritize the client’s goals for training. Training is done through positive incentive based learning following science-backed principles of learning theory.

About: I grew up with a black Labrador retriever, Benita, we had her for sixteen years. Growing up some of our favorite activities were going on long walks to the beach. In recent years, I have taken care of my friends dogs Archie and baby while they’ve been on vacation and have also lived with two cats. I work from home so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I am available mid day to go on walks and can be accommodating to your pets needs for shorter or longer walks. I live with a cat so my home is set up for cats. I have a litter box and non toxic plants in the home

About: We’ve enjoyed various pets in our home, hosting them as part of our own family. Dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, birds, fish, we believe in positively praising pets! Weekday schedule is flexible. Willing to work with yours. Weekends tend to be a little limited. However, with a good plan, we can make it work! We have a fenced area specifically for dogs with a doggie door that allows them in and out of the home as needed. Flexible regarding indoor in outdoor.

About: I am returning to Rover after a long hiatus. Before my beloved Stella (black pitty) passed away, we had a wonderful time dog-sitting for clients. After many years of grief and a very, very busy life in my doctoral program, I have another doggy companion, Bruce. We enjoy working from home together and are excited to care for your pets! Training my boxer, Bruce, has been such a rewarding experience, and we hope to have the chance to help others on their journeys to build strong connections between handlers and their beloved companions. Working from home allows me to adapt to different needs and routines to stick as closely as possible with your pets current routine to give them a sense of familiarity. My boxer, Bruce, knows when it is time for his meals, bedtime, or when I need to step out to run errands for the day. I intend to do the same by adapting to your pet's routine so they feel at ease.

About: I have taken care of animals for almost 7 years! I am constantly around animals, and I love learning the needs and wants for each dog and/or cat. Every animal has their own little personality that makes them the best, and I want to learn what your animals need in order for them to thrive in my care. I am comfortable around all dog/cat breeds, and have experience taking care of a range of breeds. When I come to walk, spend time with, and take care of your animals, they are my first priority, and I will do everything in my power to make sure they feel loved and cared for. I understand that every dog or cat needs different things, and I am more than willing to adapt to meet you and your pet where you need me! I have a dog and cat of my own- a rescue Labradoodle named Beau, and a short-haired tabby named Kona! They mean the world to me, and I will treat your animal with the love and respect that I treat my own animal babies with! Skills: I have ample experience in treating dogs who require medication, as well as senior dogs who need some extra care and attention to ensure comfortability and happiness. I am happy to lightly groom your pet if needed. For any medical accomodations, just give me a heads up so that I can best take care of your doggie! I have had almost a lifetime of taking care of cats, and am not a stranger to the many different and cooky personalities they can have. I have experience with a range of kitties who vary from requiring a little more space to get comfortable, as well cats who are super extroverted and friendly from the get-go. I have experience in brushing and maintaining both short-haired and long-haired cats, nail clipping, litter box maintenance, teeth brushing, ear cleaning, giving oral medication, etc. I am currently working part-time, but I have a lot of flexibility and work mostly mornings and early afternoons. I am also a college student with a very accommodating schedule! I have a lot of free time during the days and evenings, so I am virtually always able to come check-in and spend time with your fur baby! I have 5+ years of experience in housesitting, so navigating new environments in nothing new to me. Whatever your dog/cat needs, I am willing and able. Cleaning up after animal accidents/tidying up after playtime are things that I love to do to ensure that you and your animal feel comfortable in your home!

About: Animals have always been my passion, and with 17 years of hands-on experience, I’ve seen it all…from high-energy puppies to independent cats and senior pets who need extra love. My day job as a therapist means I don’t just care for your pet’s physical needs; I’m an expert at reading their unique personalities and managing their emotional well-being (and let's be honest, sometimes a little separation anxiety is real!). Whether your fur baby needs special diets, medication, or just an aggressive amount of belly rubs, I’ve got it covered. Expect plenty of photo and video updates while you're away so you never miss a beat! Pet care is currently my main focus as I navigate pursuing my career goals. I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care and can structure my day according to look after the pets in my care. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I’m open to collaboration in adjusting my schedule to ensure your pets get the attention and love they deserve. Creating a safe and trusting environment for the pets I care for is my top priority. I start by taking the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Building trust begins with patience and gentle interactions, allowing the pet to approach me at their own pace. I use positive reinforcement and calming techniques to ensure pets feel comfortable and relaxed in my care. Communication with pet owners is also key—I make sure to keep you informed with regular updates, so you know how your pet is doing and can share any specific needs or changes. By combining attentive care, consistency, and open communication, I create an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and confident in my presence.
