About: I am a Veterinary Technician by trade so I know a lot about animals. If you have a pet that needs medication or special needs I would be able to offer that service to you. I love animals and have been around them my entire life. I have quite a few animals I take care of when their families go out of town and can provide references. I do work but can do overnights. I can also do evenings and morning drop ins or walks and my days off. We can work with my schedule easily. I won’t be able to have pets in my home because my dog is a rescue who needed to be the only dog in the household. In other peoples homes I go by whatever rules and wishes they have for me.

About: ⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING ⚠️ To ensure we're a good fit and to respect both our time, please review my pricing and policies below before reaching out. Thank you! Welcome! I'm so glad you're here 🐾 Why families choose me I know how hard it is to leave your furry family member with someone new. That's why I'd love for you to visit my home before booking – see where your pet will stay, meet me in person, and get a feel for the environment. No pressure, just peace of mind. Here's what makes my care different: I only take two to three pets at a time. Yes, I have space for more, but I intentionally keep things small. Your pet isn't just another booking; they get my full attention, a calm environment, and the kind of care I'd want for my own pet. Since I work from home, your pet is never alone. If your pup has separation anxiety or just loves company, they'll have me nearby all day. I genuinely treat every guest like they're part of my family. What you can expect • Photos you'll actually love: I take pride in capturing beautiful moments of your pet. Check out my profile photos – that's the quality you'll get! I want you to see your pet's personality shine and know they're happy and loved. • Real communication: During business hours, you can call me anytime. Need an update? Have a question? I'm here. Your peace of mind matters. • A spotless home: My place is deep-cleaned weekly. It's fresh, odor-free, and hygienic. You're always welcome to visit! Just a heads up – I do ask guests to remove shoes to keep things pristine. • Safe outdoor space: The backyard has seven gorgeous redwood trees that provide tons of shade. That said, your pup will spend most of their time inside with me, where it's cool and comfortable. I never leave dogs unsupervised outside for extended periods. • A calm, quiet home: No young kids, and no elderly family members. Just a peaceful space where your pet can relax and be the star of the show. • No pool: One less thing to worry about! Safety first. Important details about care & pricing • Veterinary care: If I notice anything concerning about your pet's health, I'll contact you immediately (and Rover). If I can't reach you, I'll take them to the vet. All bookings are covered by Rover's Guarantee (up to $25,000 for eligible vet expenses). • Pricing adjustments: I do charge additional fees for certain situations to ensure I can provide the best care: Small: Base Rate Medium dogs: (30-60 lbs): +$15 Large dogs (60-90 lbs): +$20 Giant dogs (90-200 lbs): +$100 Puppies under 1 year (not potty trained): +$125 Why the large/giant dog fees? I want to be transparent about this. • Decline other reservations: due to the lack of space, I might need to be forced to cancel other reservations to ensure we have adequate space for your furry friend. • Space & capacity: When I host a large or giant breed, it often means I can only take one other pet (or sometimes no other pets) to ensure everyone has adequate space and comfort. This limits my availability for other bookings. • Physical demands: Larger dogs require more physical strength and energy – from handling on walks to managing their movements indoors. It's more intensive work to provide the attentive, hands-on care they deserve. • Wear and resources: Bigger dogs naturally need more of everything – more food, more space, more cleanup. They also create more wear on furniture, floors, and the home environment. • Individual attention: Every dog gets my full focus, but larger dogs often need extra time and specialized care to ensure they're comfortable and happy in my home. This pricing ensures I can give your large or giant dog the quality, individualized attention they deserve without compromising on care. Why the puppy fee? Puppies are wonderful, but they need specialized care! I take your pup out every 30 minutes to support their potty training and help them develop good habits. It's hands-on work, but it makes a real difference. If your puppy is already crate and potty trained, I'm happy to waive this fee. Again, please review these details before reaching out so we can make sure we're the right fit for your pet! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐕💕 A day in the life with me 🌅 I'm naturally an early riser, which works out perfectly for your pup! Here's what a typical day looks like: Morning: We start the day with a refreshing morning walk to get those legs moving and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day: Your dog will get regular potty breaks in my backyard all morning long. Since I work from home, I'm always here to let them out when they need it. Evening: When the weather's nice, we'll wind down with an evening walk to stretch, explore, and burn off any remaining energy. This is the exact routine I followed with my own dog, and it worked wonders for his potty training. He learned to trust that I'd take him out when needed, and I learned to trust that he'd wait. It's all about consistency and communication! Your dog will seamlessly become part of my daily rhythm – same love, same care, same attention I gave my own. They're not just a guest; they're family while they're here. 🐕❤️ 🐣They will be in a safe and secure environment, where no dog will be distressed. I prioritize understanding each dog's behavior by discussing their temperament with clients and taking proactive measures to ensure a calm and harmonious atmosphere. This is why I limit the number of dogs to a maximum of two per night, to maintain individual attention and safety for all pets involved.

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I haven’t had a pet of some sorts. I’ve had cats, dogs, a bird, bunnies, reptiles, etc. You name it, I’ve probably had it. I love animals and if given the opportunity, I will love your pet like they’re my own. I currently have a full time job, however I am only in the office three days a week. Your pets needs will be my top priority and I like to really let them enjoy their walks, no rushing here! I have two very friendly dogs that can be placed in their room if needed. I do have a dog crate if you prefer your dog to be crated, however I do not crate my dogs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every kind since I was 10—big, small, shy, or extra wiggly! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and pamper their pets for years. Along the way, I’ve also cared for reptiles, birds, and other unique companions. Whether it’s a turtle that needs tank time, a parrot that loves to chat, or a pup who lives for belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of the family! I’m a college student with an open and flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and can easily adjust my hours to fit your pet’s routine. My home is spacious, cozy, and fully pet-friendly! I have plenty of toys, treats, bones, and comfy spots for pets to relax and play. While I don’t have a yard, I’m close to several beautiful dog parks and walking trails here in Clovis—perfect for daily walks and exercise. Pets in my care enjoy a safe, fun, and loving environment where they’re treated like part of the family.

About: I’ve been around pets for as long as I can remember. We had cats growing up and when I turned 9, we got our first dog. It was then that I took on more responsibility as a pet owner. I would regularly walk her around our neighborhood and I spend a lot of time with her in the pool teaching her fun tricks. Ever since then, I’ve taken care of our, now, two dogs and those of friends and family. I’m a full-time production assistant in Fresno, CA. I have standard in office days and days when I’m on set for 8+ hours. I am currently only accepting weekend bookings to ensure I can give your pets the utmost time and care their deserve! Once my weekdays quiet down, I’ll open them up for availability. I am a full-time production assistant in Fresno. Weekdays are currently too inconsistent in structure for me feel confident I can provide the same attention and care your pets deserve, as I know I can provide on weekends. That being said, I’m great for weekends! I’d be happy to create peace of mind while you’re away. While unable to bring dogs into my own home, I can and will gladly take your dog on a walk around your neighborhood. I am adamant about strong communication. I send updates about when I arrive, what I was able to feed them, if we played, if they went poddy, how I tidied up, and when I leave!

I’m attentive to routines, quick to notice changes, and committed to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and loved. My rates reflect the level of care I provide.

This allows me to create thoughtful, reliable schedules that work well for both pets and their people. I’m based in the Tesoro Viejo area, which allows me to provide dependable, convenient care for nearby clients. I am experienced in providing care for dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, ducks, and horses.

I’m also available weekends and for overnight visits. I care for pets in their own home and focus on maintaining a routine that is familiar and comforting to them. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to ensure their pets feel safe and secure. Whether it’s for drop-in visits, dog walking, or enrichment activities, I always give pets my full attention, offering affection, playtime, and care tailored to their individual needs. I also ensure the home is left as it was when I arrived, respecting the owner's space and belongings.

About: I’ve had and have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I am very comfortable taking care of all types of pets. I am home full-time working as a CNA for my father, which enables me to give your pet lots of attention, care, and playtime! I am available every day of the week for any of the services I provide, so your fur baby will never be left alone while in my care. I do own 1 dog that loves having doggy company and making new fur-ends. He is a very friendly Husky that loves getting his energy out with a playmate, so your pup will never be bored! I also have experience caring for sick, injured, and special needs pets. I am very attentive and caring. I’m in the process of signing up for Grad school to complete my Masters degree in Psych/Counseling. I devote my life to caring for others and your pet won’t be any different. My neighborhood is great for walks. It's very quiet and safe here in the Northwest Fresno area. I do walks during the day upon the owner's request. I have a large, fenced yard that I play with the pups in as well, which usually satisfies their exercise requirement. I have tons and I mean TONS of dog toys that my dog is happy to share with playmates! I have designated outside toys in a toy chest and a kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies that love to splash around! When it comes to nap time, I have several dog beds throughout my house and crates with covers if your dog prefers a little privacy. I also allow dogs to sleep on the couch. I have doggy gates and crates throughout my house, so I can separate dogs if needed. If that is needed, I will rotate the dogs during their stay so no one is in the same area all day. I will also take them outside separately of course as well. I always go outside with the pups when it's playtime to ensure their safety. Safety is my #1 concern! Please feel free to ask me any questions and thank you for reading this. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your fur baby!

“We have been using Kara for a few weeks now for dog walks and she has been great. We have 2 pit bull breeds with a combined weight of 130lbs. Kara has done a fantastic job walking them both and we feel comfortable with her to handle them when they get excited. She is timely and communicative which we appreciate!”

About: I have pets of my own and grew up around animals my whole life like dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, even chickens at one point (though they were my grandparents not mine). Animals are so much more than pets they’re absolutely family members. I helped my sisters dog give birth 3 times and made sure she was comfortable and taken care of. When I was in high school I would watch my neighbors pets in their homes and would take them for walks, and to this day my friends and I will switch off taking care of each others animals while we’re out of town. I love dogs so much and I promise to give your dogs so much love. I’m a stay at home mom which gives me flexibility on time and my babygirl LOVES animals and walks so it would be no problem at all being able to come care for your fur baby/babies. My dogs are inside only fur babies who free eat but I’ve cared for animals who have had a set feeding a schedule with a strict hour window sometimes even followed up with medications which I’m comfortable giving.

About: I’ve grew up with more than 12 dogs in the last 10 years. I have years of experience with taking care of dogs and cats! I’ve also taken care of family pets as well, helping out with dog sitting and walks as well! I’m an Animal Science major, so I’m always handling and providing on hands care for small and large animals! My days are always clear and open so I have plenty of time to care for you pets and make sure that they give the love and care they need! I also I have a clean and fenced yard, and a friendly pup and cat to keep your pup company! She needs some time to warm up but she loves making friends after she’s comfortable, as she is a rescue dog! I love to keep my home clean not only for others and myself but my the animals as well! A clean environment is one of my top priorities when caring for these animals! I have lots of dog treats, toys, and activities so your pup is never bored! I love going on walks and runs everyday, so I would love to bring your pup on a nice run or walk or even to the dog park!
