Dog Walking Plainfield

About: I’ve taken care of multiple pets before including cats, dogs, birds, and hamsters! I’ve grown up with pets so I’m very knowledgeable and experienced with pets! I can bathe, walk, and have my full time on your pet while you do what you have to!🤗 I’m available any time any day! I will make sure to send lots of updates and pictures:) I am available any day any time! I have a lot of time on my hands so my full attention would be on your pet:) I have a fenced yard and very nice walking space around where I live. I can take them on the walks they need and even bathing if they need, of course your details will come first! I’ll have my attention on your pet the full day and I really love animals and would like to use my time to care for them!

About: Hi! My name is Faith Tupin and I am a substitute Paraeducator in the Davis school district, babysitter and grad school student. I grew up on a ranch with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and sheep. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter off and on for a few years and was in 4-H for many years. I have experience with extremely large dogs to tea cup chihuahuas, three legged dogs, dogs needing end of life care (medication administration, pet inhalers), puppies who haven’t been house trained and even service animals. I was taught how to do CPR on dogs even though i’ve never had to put my skills to use. I am active and I love long walks. I am also very clean and will make sure your house looks great when I leave. I currently am working part time and am also able to make my own schedule. This allows me to be flexible and take on additional responsibilities. I always talk to the owners to ensure that I am following their routine and keeping an eye out for any bad habits the dog may have- chewing on cords, digging by fences. I am aware of what food is toxic to dogs and never leave it out. I avoid other dogs on walks and look out for unknown food on the sidewalks that they may be tempted to eat.

“Haley was a life saver! I got sick and was not up for our usual evening stroll. Haley saved the day and was able to give my sweet one a walk! so grateful! Would definitely love to have Haley care for my animals in thr future!”

“It is so heartening to know that the pups were getting some quality time out of the house while we’re away. Thanks Carmen for your professionalism, it is plain the dogs enjoyed the company! Paul”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals and have genuine love for every pet. My goal is to make sure all pets feel safe and comfortable. I have two dogs of my own, and I treat every pet I care for or come in contact with like they are part of my family. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine as I have two dogs of my own. I am used to feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets. I enjoy spending time with animals and would be happy to include pet sitting and walks in my weekly routine. I care for pets by following their owners instructions and keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. In a clients home, I respect their space and maintain the pets normal routine as much as possible. In my home and/or clients home I will make sure the pets have fresh water, food, exercise, playtime, rest time, and plenty of attention.

About: I have experience working in dog boarding and daycare caring for a wide variety of dogs. I also have experience as both a kennel technician and veterinary assistant caring for both dogs and cats. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and sizes as well as experience with senior pets and pets with specialized care such as diabetic cats. I also have a little experience with other types of pets but mostly just rabbits. I am a first year student at UC Davis. I am a first year veterinary student with a varying schedule. Though most days are 8-5 the longest with at least a 1 hr break for lunch with some days being shorter and some having the potential to be slightly longer. I am usually free on Saturdays and Sundays and am therefore very flexible those days and my schedule is totally open. I am open for overnight sitting, evening pet sitting, sitting for a few hours while you run errands or go on a date, etc! I have a wide variety of experience that allows me to cater to the needs of your pet. Whether that is taking them for long walks on the beach, giving your anxious pet cuddles and pets, bringing my dog to play with your dog(s) and keep them company, playing fishing with your cats, or whatever I need to do to keep your pets most happy, healthy and comfortable in their home.

About: I have cared for a wide range of animals since my childhood on a small family farm. I have bottle fed kittens to goats, trained puppies to ducks, and cared for little piglets to senior dogs. I also have some experience with medical procedures with dogs and cats, to farm animals. Experience with cats with diabetes, pets with blindness, deafness, and immobility. I enjoy caring for animals of all shapes and sizes and good care and enrichment is always my top priority! I like to check on my animals and animals I’m caring for a minimum of 3 times a day for 30 minutes each. With cats I like to spend time playing, setting up enrichment activities, and learning how they are most comfortable. With dogs I like to do a minimum of 3 walks a day followed by some of their favorite activities. I believe pets should be checked on morning, afternoon and evening at minimum. I like to follow the routine of the pets parents to a T so as to not disturb the pets while their families are gone. I think having a routine is important for a pet especially when their people/family are gone.

About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. Insects, reptiles, rats, especially cats and dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the ASPCA for a year! I have experience with almost all animals, and I’d love to help take care of yours! I take care of two pets of my own, but currently don’t have a stable job. My days are open! Might as well do what I love and get payed for it. XD I have a calm smaller dog, and a cat who LOVES dogs (she’s strange I know). I live right next to a huge park and walking trail.

About: I have lived with pets all my life and have over 6 years of professional experience in all kinds of animals (including but not limited to) birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have 1 green cheek conure, 1 desert tortoise, 2 cats, and 1 dog myself. I can medicate your animals, but also help with training, exercise, grooming, and other enriching or basic husbandry care. I’ve recently moved to Woodland to help my sister with her kids, which leaves me some time for myself but not enough for a full time job. That’s where pet sitting comes in for me. Animal care is an important thing to me, and I love to know I’m helping your pet live their best life. Most pets will be comfortable in their own home so I can make house trips at least twice a day, perhaps more depending on where you are located respective to me. If you’d like me to take your little one into my own home, we can talk about it and go from there :)

About: Hi! I’m a Davis local and a flight attendant with a flexible schedule, so I love spending my free time staying active and getting outside.

I’m a lifelong animal lover who will treat your pets like they’re my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust, and my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members!

Most of the services I offer take place in your home or out on walks, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and routine. For pets that visit my home for a short stay or daycare, they’ll have a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space with plenty of attention and care.

About: Hi fellow dog lovers! I am a veterinary assistant for Banfield Pet Hospital looking to take care of your pet in my free time!

I have 12+ years experience taking care of dogs and cats and it remains my passion till this day. Qualified to care for pets with all kinds of medical/special needs . I cant wait to meet your furry family member! I recently graduated so I have much more free time for pet care. If I’m working I will be busy from 7am-6pm but happy to do walks/feedings/check-ins on my lunch and before and after my shift. Otherwise on my day offs I am pretty open, working on applications for vet school and crafting or going for a jog. I cannot currently host for boarding at my home, however I have a lot of experience pet sitting at clients homes. I can work with anyone’s preferences, be that only going in for feedings/walks or being a homebody for most of the day for prolonged company. I am very neat and respectful of other people’s spaces and work my best to keep your pet comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’m a pet owner myself, so I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new. I’m patient and really pay attention to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether they’re super playful, shy, cuddly, or prefer their own space, I’ll let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, litter box cleaning, and lots of cuddles if they want them! I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m available anytime and any day during the summer. I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend plenty of time caring for your pets. For morning visits, please let me know in advance! Pet’s safety and emotions are my top priority. In a client’s home, I will follow the pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I clean up after them, make sure they have fresh water, and provide plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the home space and always leave it as I found it. If pets are staying with me, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable.

About: Hi, I’m Savannah! As a lifelong animal lover and proud Irish Setter owner, I know that high-energy pups need more than just a quick turn around the block. With over 3 years of pet sitting experience, I bring plenty of enthusiasm, reliability, and love to every single visit. I’m a fast walker, so if your dog loves a brisk pace to burn off energy, they’ll get a great workout with me! If they prefer extra playtime or just hanging out and getting belly rubs, I'm all about making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. What you can expect from every visit: Full-Care Routine: Fresh water refills after every walk, feeding on your schedule, and taking care of any extra pet chores while I’m there. Fun & Play: Dedicated play time and total attention tailored to your dog's personality. Pupdates: Punctual progress reports and adorable, high-quality photos so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having! Whether your dog needs a fast-paced walk or a cozy check-in with lots of affection, I’ll treat them like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I’m available any day of the week at any time! Communication with clients is a big thing for me so if that ever changes you will know! In-Home Care & Playtime Instant Warm-Up & Attention: Start each visit with enthusiasm, giving the dog immediate affection, belly rubs, and positive energy to build comfort and excitement. Targeted Energy Burn: Use interactive toys (like fetch or tug) and active play sessions to drain extra energy before settling them down, keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. Basic Needs & Chores: Always double-check water bowls for fresh refills (especially after active play), handle scheduled feedings, and take care of any quick pet-related tidy-ups before leaving. On Walks Tailored Pace: Maintain a brisk, fast walk to maximize physical exertion for energetic dogs, while adjusting to sniff breaks so they get necessary mental enrichment. Constant Engagement: Keep eyes on the dog at all times, talking to them, keeping them moving, and managing leash safety around distractions. Post-Walk Wind Down: Bring them back inside, offer fresh water, towel off paws if needed, and let them cool off in a safe, comfortable spot. Client Communication Photo Updates: Snap clear, adorable pictures during play or mid-walk to send with your visit report. Detailed Notes: Leave a quick summary letting the owner know how much energy was burned, how much water/food was taken, and any fun moments from the visit.

About: I've grown up and lived with dogs most of my life. The best part of visiting home is getting to see our long haired terrier and our chihuahua mix. I've dog and house sat multiple times for friends who live in Davis. It’s always been a great experience as I find walking and hanging out with dogs to be a good way of decompressing from classes. I currently have more flexibility in my academic schedule, so I'm open for short or long term pet and house sitting. If you think I may be a good fit, please feel free to reach out. I'm currently helping in a lab on UCD, but my timing is flexible. I can easily work pet and house sitting into my schedule. My current living situation doesn't allow for me to have pets. When it comes to caring for a pet in their home I would follow the existing routines and refer to how the owner cares for their pet. I am a firm believer that it's far less stressful for a dog or cat to be able to stay home while their owner is out of town.

About: I have been a dog lover ever since I was young and I got my first dog when I was 7. I took care of him until he left me. I feel like all animals around me are my best friends. I also volunteered in a non governmental organization in the Philippines to help out with animals who are in need and needs love and attention. Interned in a pet clinic which taught me how to prepare their medicine and inject them in their IV lines If only I could adopt all those animals who need a home I would rush to any animal shelter and provide everything they need. I think that’s what makes me different from other sitters and walkers because in the future I want to be a veterinarian and save animals. It has been my dream to help these lovely creatures. I’m currently a full time veterinary assistant who works Monday to Friday. I have an hour lunch so if its close or they are staying with me, I can swing by and check in on them. During weekends, I am available. I provide a safe environment by dog/cat proofing my place. I am very particular about making sure they don’t get into absolutely anything. These pets are treated like my own. Under my watch, they are treated the best care they possibly can get.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and turtles. they were family pets and i learned a lot watching my siblings raise their dogs. i have a 7 year old cat that i've raised since he was a kitten. I have also fostered another cat for a few months. although introducing my cat with the foster was time consuming, it was worth to see them get along. I work part time as a barista. i don't have set days off but i work very early mornings. i am also taking a couple online courses, but i go at my own pace so im flexible with afternoons and evenings. just like with little humans, i make sure cleaning supplies, little choking hazards, and toxic foods are stored high in storage closets where my cat can't get into. i vacuum regularly in case i have dropped small pieces of plastic (that my cat loves more than toys for some reason). i will occasionally pet sit for my sister when she is away on vacation. i don't assume i know her pets better than she does, so i have texted her before about a concern i had about her dog. i fed both her pets at the same time, but one refused to eat. instead of assuming that her dog would eventually eat, i reached out to know if there was anything i could do differently and the solution was a change in environment. i would then feed them in separate rooms and that did the trick. i loved sending her pictures of them unprompted and when asked.

About: **I don't charge for additional pets!! I’ve always been an animal enthusiast growing up in the country I did whatever I could to be around animals constantly. In our home we had four dogs, two hamsters, a corn snake, a half-blind horse, countless hermit crabs, and a parakeet. There is truly no animal I don't love and won't do my best to care for. Growing up with these animals I've had the privilege to be there when they were puppies/kittens/babies all the way through the end of their life, so I have extensive experience with care in every life stage. I've carried that love and passion with me into adulthood. As an adult I've worked for a year as a kennel technician at a humane society enriching, socializing, training, and advocating for dogs, cats, and small animals. I also regularly volunteer time at humane societies when I can and regularly foster cats, to date I've successfully fostered over 10 cats who are now all in happy homes. Through fostering I've experienced some harder care cases. Including fostering 3 week old sick kittens requiring syringe feedings, multiple medications, and detailed weight tracking. I've also had the privilege of fostering a hospice case who required food, liquid, and medication administration through an e-tube along with extensive monitoring. No matter what kind of care your pet needs I will do my best to ensure they receive the love, respect, and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping you and your furry (and maybe scaly) family members! I'm avaliable for drop-ins, boarding, and walking M-F after 2:30 PM! I can also do breakfast drop-ins during the week between 5:00-5:30 AM, or earlier if need be. I'm open and available most weekends for all pet care, I keep my schedule updated 3 months out! If you want to book further than 3 months just send me a message and I'm happy to work with you! My top priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. Each visit, walk, or stay is individual and entirely customizable for your pet. To ensure your pet receives the best care I require an initial meet and greet, or phone call so we can discuss what the ideal care looks like. I prioritize customizable care, communication, and enrichment to make sure your pet has the best 'staycation' ever!

“Michelle was great with Uppy for her walks! I could tell she was having a good time from all the pics. They even discovered a new walking route! Thanks Michelle!”
