Dog Walking Pollock Pines

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has cared for just about every kind of pet you can think of, dogs, cats, geckos, and everything in between. I’ve loved animals of all ages and personalities, and I’m comfortable with shy, playful, energetic, or senior pets. I am a medical social worker and keeping others safe and cared for is part of who I am. Honestly, I’m just looking to add more animal joy into my daily life! I’d love to care for your furry (or scaly!) family member and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m available for boardings Thursday through Sunday, and during the week I can easily fit in walks and drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a longer cuddle session, or a good outdoor adventure, I can make it work. I regularly travel between Sacramento and Pollock Pines, so I’m happy to support families anywhere along Highway 50! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to build trust at your pet’s pace, paying close attention to their cues, routines, and comfort levels. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I create a calm, predictable environment so your pet feels secure and understood. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own. You can trust that your pet will be in safe hands, surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere where they can relax, play, and be themselves.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always responsible for caring for our family pets and helping with whatever they needed. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for friends’ pets over the years, giving me experience with animals of many different personalities and needs. I currently have pets of my own, whom I adore just as much as my adult children. 😊 They truly bring so much love, happiness, and light into our home, and I understand firsthand how much our pets mean to us. I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Your pets will be treated like family while they’re with me. ❤️ I’m a part-time traveling dental hygienist, which gives me a unique advantage as a pet sitter—I’m home 4–5 days a week and make my own work schedule. This allows me to be very flexible and give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to work around your travel plans and can often take time off from work to accommodate longer stays when they are booked far enough in advance. I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust in your home and with your pets while you’re away. I’m dependable, responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, medication reminders, or simply someone nearby to make them feel safe and comfortable, I’m happy to provide personalized care based on their routine and personality. Your pets aren’t just a job to me—they’re family. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for in their own home.

We have a a nice chunk of land with a fenced in dog yard, and one dog for your furbaby to play with named Shadow and she is so sweet and old, but still has energy for fun. We have a pond to wade in as well which is Shadows favorite thing to do. We are always keeping an eye on all of our animals and make sure they are safe and always have what they need. We also have 4 indoor kitties but they usually hide when company is around.

“Sara was excellent, following all instructions to the T and my dog seemed to be very happy with the walk. Great service! Will definitely book again.”

About: Growing up we always had some sort of pet or critter in the home and I can’t imagine my life without a furry companion. I have years of experience caring for cats and dogs old and young. I have experience in dog training as I raised a seeing eye dog in high school. I am also familiar with the care of livestock, chickens, reptiles, and more and would be happy to care for them as well! I currently work 9-5 on weekdays. I am unable to host any bookings at my home currently but would love to watch your pets in the comfort of their home! I will make sure your pet gets the care and comfort that they need while you are away! Sticking to any diet or training regimen that your pet needs! As well as strictly following any medication that your pet might require. I will make sure that your home stays clean and tidy and will treat your home with respect always.

I’ve been a dog sitter on many occasions for friends and on recommendation; long and short term stays. I’ve dog sat from puppies to older dogs and big to small dogs so I have dealt with a wide range of different doggies. I love dogs whole heartedly and would love to take care of yours!!

About: Although I don’t have pets of my own, over the past several years I’ve had the chance to care for a wide variety of dogs of all ages and sizes. I live down the street from some dog friendly hiking trails and my backyard is quite large so the energetic pups are always happy. I am accommodating and love the experiences I have meeting each new pet. A highlight was fostering and finding homes for 5 kittens in 2022! I have a relatively flexible schedule and am willing to travel a reasonable distance, message me for further schedule details- most frequently available on weekends I have a keen attention to detail that can keep too curious pups out of trouble. I love to hear special instructions from the owner about what their pets like!

About: It’s like camp for dogs! Your dog can have a great vacation too. We know how important it is to have the fury family taken care of in order to relax while on vacation. We have always had our own pets and we have taken care of other peoples furry family members for years, We have fostered for Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue for the last 25 years. If your pup is used to sleeping on a dog bed, or on the couch, or with people, they can do the same here with us. We won’t change the rules on them. We are well-versed in taking care of dogs with special needs or just simply providing TLC. When we have had fosters, we helped pups recover from surgery, given medications, adjusted pups to family life, trained and more. We just lost our sweet pup Cooper so we don’t have any pets at our house. This might be helpful if you have a dog that likes people all to themselves or if you have multiple dogs. Walks, car ride (wind in their hair) treats, playtime, attention, lounging in the fenced yard are all available. We both work at home so pups don’t have to be alone and can have all of their needs met. Reach out and tell us about your furry family and what they might need while you’re away. We would be thrilled to have them. We can work our schedule around what you furry family needs. Since we Work at hime and there are two of us someone can always be here if needed. We only serve one Family at a time. We don’t have meet and greets while your dog is with us. It’s all about them when they are here. We follow your instructions for walk, food, routines. You can read our references but it might be best to come to the house to meet us and see for yourself. It’s important to feel comfortable so you can relax while you are away. We take extra measures to lock the latch on the gate and use a double door system if we go in and out of the house.

About: I frequently care for dogs and cats and truly love spending time with animals.

About: My pet care experience began when I started living with my uncle as a teenager. Back in the Philippines, he would rescue puppies and keep them in the house until he could find them a foster home. After school, I would go straight home and take care of the rescues. I would feed them and keep them hydrated, and then take them out for a walk. I also taught them tricks until they could master it without treats. I strongly believed that training is an essential part of their growth. When I moved here, I adopted Astrid as a puppy and she has been with me for 3 years now. My main skills with pets includes strict attention to time management, understanding their behaviors, and attending to their needs. Other skills include having patience, clear communication with owners, being on time, and being responsible with the duties given. I currently work part-time as a cook in a nursing home. On my days off, I usually stay at home either on my computer or take my dog to play outside. I have a lot of leisure time on these days, and I believe that pet sitting will fulfill these times and keep me busy. In my home, I ensure that my dog sleeps and naps comfortably when tired. I make sure that there’s food for her and water always refilled. I keep my dog active by walking around the neighborhood and going to the playground. I also play the guitar and sing songs to her when there is nothing else to do. When she wants to go outside, I let her run free in the backyard surrounded with fences and have a shaded area for her when it gets too hot. I would also leave the door open in case she wants a colder environment which is inside the house. In a client’s home, I would ensure that their pets are well fed and hydrated. If there is an accident, I would willingly be responsible for that and take care of it. I would make sure that their pets are also being engaged in activities so that they would feel less bored when the parents aren’t home.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years My schedule is open for full availability, everyday of the week, early morning and late nights. I have a passion for caring and loving on pets. To be successful as a pet sitter, you should be knowledgeable of animal behavior and adept at caring for all kinds of pets. Ultimately, an outstanding pet sitter should be able to perform animal CPR as well as demonstrate excellent communication, problem-solving, and customer service skills. Make sure the environment is clean without any things on the floor for them to chew on or pick up. Have a schedule for eating sleeping and play time. I love taking dogs to prospect park I live about 15 mins away.
