“Maria has been walking our dog for over a month now, and she has been so amazing. She’s flexible with our ever changing work schedule, she always seems to go beyond the paid services, and always gives helpful tips with our dog’s behavior. As long as she’s willing, she’ll continue to be our weekly dog walker and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for her offered services!”

About: My name is Krista and I live in Ripon, CA. I love animals and have been caring for them, in my own home and for friends and family members, for years. I know how challenging it can be to travel, have a full time job, or simply get out of town when you have animals to care for. Let me help lift that burden. Not only will I make sure your pets are provided with their basic needs, I will ensure they’re loved extra well! I work remotely 60% of the time and travel onsite to the Bay Area on Tuesdays and Wednesday. On the days I’m not working from home, I am available to do home visits every morning and again in the later afternoon and evening times during the week. On the weekends I’m much more flexible. I’m looking forward to seeing how I can help you and your family! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“Anissa came and walked my dog for a couple days and agreed to a meet and greet to discuss expectations beforehand. She was very professional and kind to me and my dog Freya. She asked about all sorts of habits and made sure to give my baby not only the exercise but lunch and refilled her water, she also sent pictures of the walk. Literally the best experience I could have hoped for. I will be booking her again! And I would recommend her.”

“Alexus walked our dog while we were away on vacation, which helped us keep up his routine. She was super sweet and kept us updated and sent pictures. She was quick to respond and did an awesome job !!!”

About: Family has come to me since elementary school for pet care. I’ve been trusted with over night pet care (with dogs & cats), in-home drop in’s for food and potty breaks, and post surgical care for my own pets. Although I have no official certifications, I do have a genuine passion for ensuring happiness and health to those around me all human and creatures alike!

I ask for a list of your pets special behaviors that help me understand their needs! Also easy direction and access to their food, toys, and personal items needed. I can easily accommodate to any walk paths or other patterns/schedules in you’re pets life as long as I am aware.
About: I've taken care of dogs at every stage of their lives; from walking to feeding to doggie play time to post-surgical care. Loving dogs is my heart's special joy. I'm retired so I am available any time your pet needs me. I am an early riser so I can get the dogs out for a walk before the heat of the day. There's always time for a butt scratch. :-) The most important thing to me is to find out how the client wants their pet cared for in their home and meet those needs. My goal is to have a happy, healthy dog when their parents come home.
