Dog Walking in Santa Rosa

About: I love animals so much I got a degree in Animal Science and I'm pursuing a Vet Tech certification! I have personal experience caring for a variety of dogs in my life: A HIGH energy pitty puppy, a senior and disabled corgy-shepard, and my very own dog, Sheldon, the rainbow terrier rescue ❤️. I absolutely love hanging out with dogs, going on walks, giving pets, winning over shy hearts, and even helping guide rambunctious puppies in the right direction with patience. I just graduated college and have a very open schedule right now, I can do early or late, any day of the week or weekend. I'm happy to stop by to check in on, feed, walk, play, hang out with any pets. I'm experienced with animals and love them all with my whole heart. I also understand security and privacy concerns, I will always respect a customer's home like my own and not judge or mess with anything.

“Michael helped us with our two dogs while on vacation. He was the best pet care professional we have ever used. He was caring and attentive and our dogs loved him. He was also extremely responsive and flexible with our schedule. I would have him watch our dogs any time.”

“Mabel loves Berenice. She does a wonderful job taking care of Mabel! She sends me updates on how her walk went. She stays in contact with me. I feel really comfortable with her taking care of Mabel while I’m at work. I recommend her to 100%.”

“Michelle was awesome. Communicated clearly with us so we knew when she was arriving. Our dogs loved her. Now they are tuckered out and napping after their great adventure with Michelle. Thanks for taking care of them. Would have given 10 stars if it was available!!”

“Cecilia is attentive and reliable. Our dog is easily overexcited but Cecelia is able to help him relax. He is super happy when Cecelia shows up to take care of him.”

Cris E.

“Daphne enjoyed her walk with Nikki! Our pup is nervous with new people and Nikki took the time to get to know her and let Daphne get comfortable with her. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Melody S.

“Katy has done an amazing job with Gus. She’s trustworthy, goes above and beyond what is asked, and Gus’s wagging tail says it all when he’s on a walk with Katy. Will use her for all my future needs?”

About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, and horses since I was a young kid. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian and attended a University in California with that goal in mind. As much as I enjoyed the Animal Science courses and internships in the Radiology Department, I decided working with kids was more my thing! But I still have a deep love of animals :) I moved to Colorado and now work on an organic farm and love it! I have worked with elderly dogs who need either oral medication or shots, dogs that are blind and need special care navigating the house, to active pups who love to go on morning runs! I am a dog lover and haven't gone a year without having a pet as part of the family. Pets are family and I believe they deserve the best care while their loved ones are away. Let me spend that time with your special pup and we will have many adventures!

About: I started my dogsitting business out of my home over 6 years abo and now I petsit at people's homes. Animals are more comfortable at their own home I also have been trained as a dog walker at the Sonoma County Animal Shelter and worked at a dog kennel (now closed...Anderson Acres) I'm a personal trainer that teaches people on Zoom so I am at home most of the day. I am an active person that loves walking dogs and own 2 rescues. I only care for animals in the owner's home. I do not board animals in my home. I make sure that all doors/gates are secure so no animal escapes.

“I’m so glad Lindsey was able to walk and feed our pup while we were gone for part of the day! Lindsey was super communicative and sent lots of photos and videos so we could see how much fun our pup was having with her. She even took her on an extra long walk and played with her after. It was such a relief to see our dog in good hands while we were away!”

About: I enjoy walking dogs and spending time with cats. They are usually attuned to people and I am attentive to their needs with calm energy. I have an open schedule. I enjoy spending time outdoors. I am energetic when needed enjoying physical exercise. I am mellow having calm energy indoors. I have worked in other people's homes before and am considerate of their space and respectful of their belongings. I take charge when needed to get pet to respond.

About: Began cat and dog sitting as a teen and continue to this day for friends and family. I also cared for a high energy good boy for years and love keeping puppies of all kinds happy and healthy in the best ways for them My schedule is currently open while waiting to begin full time work at the end of the summer, very flexible! Getting out for daily walks is already part of my routine so would love to incorporate your pup into it! I have great situational awareness and will get used to your home and safety measures YOU prioritize for your pup and their individual needs. Any accommodations you require I will abide by to ensure the safety of your home and your dog

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 11. I trained my puppy when I was a kid and have almost always had a cat or kitten in my life. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and varying needs -- this includes but is not limited to: administering oral and topical medicine, ear cleaning and drops, specialized bathing for sensitive skin, walks and varying play styles. I absolutely adore animals. My cat, Maisy, brings so much joy into my life. I know the stress that can come with leaving your pet in the care of someone else. I work to minimize that and assure you that your pet is loved, comfortable, happy, and safe! I currently do contract work from home and work part-time during the week. I am very available to be present for your pets, whether that's walking, dropping-in, or staying with them all day/night. My flexible schedule allows me to be anywhere during the day. I am able to provide most hands-on care during the morning, daytime, and late evening and night check-ins. I have worked with multiple neighbors and friends who have trusted me to stay in their homes with their pets or come in during the day to provide food, play, walks, and just love and company. I like to send photos everyday (unless requested otherwise) so you can see their furry faces while you are away. I take the trust given to be in your home very seriously, and I know that our pets appreciate being in their familiar environments while you are away.

“Kaitlyn walked my dog everyday when I was on vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. I will definitely use her for every need in the future!”

About: I’ve spent over ten years caring for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to wise seniors. I work as a shepherd and look after sheep, goats and dogs, which has helped me stay calm, attentive and aware of behavior, safety,and fun. I’m trained in safe handling, bite prevention, and canine behavior and I rely on positive reinforcement to support pets. I take the responsibility of caring for your furry family seriously, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Animals are part of my everyday life. I make sure pets get attention, walks, playtime, and companionship on a regular schedule so they’re happy and healthy. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. Pets are supervised, loved, and cared for with positive reinforcement so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently share my home with my pug Lola and my cats Leo and Mya Rose. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m especially patient with older dogs and smaller breeds. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication, or just giving them attention and playtime, I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m available most days to drop in and check on your furry babies so you can have peace of mind while you’re away from home. Growing up on a farm as well as many years spent in animal rescue I am very comfortable with all animals including sick and behaviorally challenged.

About: I grew up having cats and dogs my whole life. I adopted my own cat in August of 2023, which has been the best experience of my life! I love all animals and would love to help other busy pet owners! 💛 I just moved to Santa Rosa and I work part time as a receptionist! I can take longer lunches on long days if needed for your pet! I am willing to accommodate to most any pet needs. My goal is to make your fur baby comfy and happy, whether it’s in their own home or mine. My cat is absolutely spoiled and I will treat your animals the same!
