Dog Walking Pala

“Kristine was great! It’s always hard leaving your dog babies but she had my mind at ease while I was away. On time. Quick responses. Photo updates. I’ll be rebooking!”

About: My headline is probably my most asked question anywhere I go lol. My family has had a multitude of different pets over the years, so I actually know how to care for a lot of animals including an African bullfrog if you can believe that. I've also been house sitting/dog sitting for friends and family for years. I'm also really good with cautious dogs, I know how to make a dog who doesn't like strangers warm up to me. It might take a little while but eventually they love me. As far as walks go I love walks and who better to do it with than a dog? But I'm also conscientious of heat, where to walk on hot days so their paws don't burn and water for us to drink. I have a decent amount of control of my work time. So I am able to take breaks when needed to take animals for quick walks, playtime, and of course potty breaks. My goal is not to leave animals without these types of interactions for more than 5 hours at a time. Of course for special needs animals and puppies this can be appropriately adjusted. I strive to keep animals at ease by keeping their normal routine. So I often ask about what the animals normal day looks like and plan accordingly.

“Josh did a great job. Took extra time and our big lab enjoyed his walk.”

“Angeline is great. She communicates well and takes lots of pictures while walking our dog. We will definitely be using her for future bookings.”

“Meghan was a great help when I needed a walker on short notice. She was very thoughtful and thorough in her communication and made my week a breeze. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been trusted by friends and family to pet sit the past 3 years. I love all animals the same and have owned multiple pets my whole life. I am working part time and college part time with a flexible afternoon schedule. Mornings on Friday-Sundays are always great and give me lots of free time. I have a secure fenced in backyard with chickens separated to the side. We have a dog crate inside. At this time I do not offer boarding while I am trying to train my puppy.

“Brittney went above and beyond to accommodate to our dog’s needs and play with him after his walk. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a dog walker/ dog sitter!”

About: I believe in the freedom a pet has to do their business and for me to be their poop collector. I will help your senior dog get around if they need a little extra help or with your puppy to gain confidence exploring a new area. I have 3 dogs. 2 Senior at 11 years old and 1 younger at 3 years old. They are taken care of first thing in the morning and last thing at night. 1 has many allergies that we care for each day. When helping out at a pets home I follow directions of the owner. If the pet is allowed in the yard I will stay with them while they are playing and or exploring. I clean up after pets if they accidently make a mess or spill some of their food / water.

“Rachel continues to be a stellar dog walker for our cavapoo, Milo. She is incredibly reliable and friendly and very responsive. Love that she has been taking care of Milo and us!”

“Michael is always so flexible and promptly responds to last minute requests due to our hectic work schedule. He is great with our puppy as he is still working on leash skills! Thank you Michael!”

“Our two dogs were happy and worn out after a half-hour walk with Belinda. She's scheduled to dog sit for us in a few weeks, and we're very confident she'll take great care of them.”

“Very reliable. She is great communicator and I recommend to book if you are seeking someone to not only walk your puppy but care about your puppy’s well being.”

About: Over the 15 years I’ve been house sitting professionally, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for puppies to sr. dogs, kittens to sr. cats, lizards, fish, birds, and even farm animals. My goal when I care for your pet is to keep your pet in the routine to which they are accustomed. That means I follow your written instructions, as far their feeding time, walk time, etc. Though, I also want your vacation to feel like a staycation for your pet. That means I’m going to have fun with them whether that means giving them belly rubs, playing fetch with them or playing other fun games with them. Also, please note that you can hire me for overnights, dog walks, or both. So, my price for overnight stays is to stay in your home and care for your pet, but dog walking is separate from overnight stays. During my stay, as much as I will care for you pet(s), I will also care for your home. I’m happy to water any plants, bring in any deliveries/mail, take out the trash and other light chores (I won’t mow your lawn). I work for myself writing online content for people, so my work goes where I go. The only thing I ask is that you have an Internet connection and someplace where I can set up my computer. As far as caring for pets in my home, I am only able to board certain breeds of dogs, and that is contingent on the permission of the homeowner. I am unable to care for cats in my home, but I would be able to come to your home.. In general, I always care for your pet according to your schedule and preference. And I am always sure to adjust my schedule according to the schedule you set for me to ensure your pet receives optimal care. But the key to pet sitting is to emulate the routine to which the dog is already accustomed. My goal is that when you go on vacation your pet(s) will feel like they're on a staycation. Also, please note while I charge $65 per day, I charge separately for walks ($20 per walk). For pets that do not require walks (cats, sr. dogs, etc), I charge $75 a day.

“Samantha is truly the best! She is so caring and kind and takes extra time to work on training. She writes the best report cards and takes the cutest pictures.”

About: I've had dogs of every size my whole life in every environment, and I really enjoy giving high quality treatment to the animals around me. This is currently my full time job while I apply to other places. I'm free morning noon and night for you, and your pets convenience. I have a fenced-in backyard that has been flea and tick sprayed so no critters will catch a ride on your fur baby. As for walks around your neighborhood I always carry an emergency pet care bag with me just to be safe.

About: I’ve started taking care of my neighborhood pets 3 or 4 years ago while they went on vacation and I have been very reliable ever since. My neighbors have referred me to other neighbors as they believe I truly take care of their animals. So far I have taken care of dogs, 7 cats at once, baby chicks, grown chickens, turtles, bunnies, and cats. I always send photos of my customers pets and ask before I do something I am unsure of. I currently am enrolled at the University of California, San Diego! I am in summer break and have lots of time to take care of any of your furballs! Message me so we can set something up! I am not offering day care due to my ungated pool but I will be available to stay at the owners house! I give all my attention to the pets while I am with them and make sure they are safe on their walks. I have handled dogs from all sizes so your energetic or relaxed animals have the perfect sitter!
