Dog Walking Shafter

“Five days of walking Dakota was our first experience with Laura. She was fantastic! Laura communicted with me daily and the photos show how much Dakota loved her walks. I feel fortunate to have found a reliable and caring dog walker. I will definitely call on Laura again!”

About: I have walked dogs and pet sat cats and dogs. I also have done lot of volunteering at two shelters the SPCA and Chico animal shelter. I also have done the SPCA dog training summer camp. I normally feed my dog and also she is 14 , also she is is pretty lazy, this means you need to get her walking more than she would like. I treat my pet like they’re a human. I love using hand signals to ask for the dog wants and to talk to the dog.

“Terence always goes above and beyond what’s expected from him! He is so quick to respond and incredibly accommodating. We will keep rebooking with him as our dog just loves him!”

“Richard was incredible with our new puppy. Moro can be a bit of a handful, but Richard was so good to him on the walks and provided him with all the care he needed. We really appreciated Richard's timely communication and engaging updates. We even got a helpful doggy report card at the end of our vacation! Moro looks forward to spending more time with Richard in the future.”

“Robin has been great at communicating quickly, getting to know my doggo, and gaining his trust! He’s a pandemic puppy so isn’t used to a dog walker. I’m so glad she’s been able to get him going as I start to go back to work.”

“Lena was amazing with Onyx! She is reliable, caring, and went the extra mile to make sure he was fed and settled after his walk. We felt totally confident leaving him in her care.”

About: Welcome to Camp Burda. This is how our home is referred to by all of our friends who have dogs. We are the "go to" for watching our friends and families dogs and any advice they need about dog care. My husband and I have had dogs all of our lives and currently have a few border collie mixes who are just as much a part of our family as our children. Our home is warm, comfortable and has a large secure fenced yard. We look forward to welcoming your dogs into our home and care when you can't be there for them. We are also big hikers so happy to take them along with us if appropriate for your fur babies needs. Take care. My husband works from home full time and I work from home part time so we generally always have someone there. Dogs will have yard access and walks as needed. Dogs will be comfortable in our home either sleeping on their bed or in a crate. They will have access to our fenced yard and be able to relax with our family in the evening in the living room.

About: I have walked neighbors dogs in the past, and have fostered dogs and cats. I currently have an 6 year pup of my own who requires a lot of attention, so I completely understand checking in on our furry friends and making sure they are doing well and taken care of! I work in healthcare , but love to fill my other free time taking care of furry friends :) I’m currently working half the week at my job , so I will have the other half to cuddle and spend quality time with your fur baby. I know how special they are and will do my best to give them the attention and care they deserve while you are away, and to make sure they are taken care of in a safe and comfortable environment. I live in a lovely neighborhood with a park near by which also has a small dog park. Can take your dog to the park or walk around the neighborhood or both :)

About: I have watched and taken care of many different breeds of dogs since I was about 9. My family always noticed I’m a dog whisperer and can greet any dog and love me! It then expanded to neighbors dogs and even their family and friends want my help often to this day! I’m currently available to watch your pups at any time you need! Weekends free overnights as well . I am open to provide the service you and your pup need! I have a fur baby who would love to interact with yours! I also can come to your place and pet sit dog sit or walk your dog!

About: Hi! I’d love to care for your furry family member! I have experience caring for my own British Shorthair cat and helping friends with pet sitting. I’m patient, responsible, and will treat your pet like family while keeping you updated with photos and messages I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your furry friend! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and boarding, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. I live in a clean, cozy apartment with no other pets, so your furry friend will get lots of one-on-one attention! I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfy. And of course, expect plenty of cute photo updates while you’re away!

About: As a dog and cat mom, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I have experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, cats, rabbits, and birds, along with over 15 years of volunteering with dog and cat rescues. My experience includes hands-on care for shelter dogs and fostering, so I’m comfortable working with animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I intentionally limit the number of clients I take on so I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Having adopted two timid dogs, I understand the importance of creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. My home is completely dog-proofed, with extra dog beds, furniture privileges for pups who love to snuggle, and a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs have regular access to the outdoors. My priority is understanding each pet’s individual needs and following the owner’s care instructions closely. I’m especially mindful of safety, whether at home or when entering and leaving a client’s home, always double-checking that doors are secure and locked. I also believe in clear communication, providing regular updates, and asking questions whenever something is unclear. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!

“Anthony was awesome! Took our dog on long walks & was easy to coordinate with. Gochu came back very happy each time!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We always had pets growing up. I work from home and watch one dog at a time, giving them the attention and care they need. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, play, and pets. I am able to accommodate to the dog’s that I’m watching schedule. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood that is great for walks. I make sure dogs are well fed and will cook for them if needed/wanted. I am also comfortable giving dogs medication they may need.

“Christine was absolutely amazing with my very shy/anxious dog. She was patient and gentle with her during the first meeting, and she was available last minute. Definitely recommend!”

About: I've been taking care of kitties for my entire life, and more recently, dogs! So far, I've worked with hyper dogs, an anxious dog, and a sick dog, so I'm comfortable with a variety of energies. It's always such a pleasure to be around pets, and I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I currently have a pretty open schedule besides some remote work I do twice a week. The days I have set for my availability are pretty consistently open, and other days, I can be flexible if you reach out in advance In a new space, I allow them to find a space they feel comfortable in and hang out with them for as long as they need to get adjusted. In a client’s home, I’d clarify everything with the client to make sure I’m attending to the pet’s needs appropriately

“Padraic is an exceptional dog walker—responsible, patient, dedicated, flexible, and completely trustworthy. Our almost 3-year-old dog is a rescued and very skittish pup who is incredibly sweet and affectionate but needs a lot of time to feel comfortable with new people and new surroundings. In the beginning, she barked at him constantly and hesitated during the first several walks, but Padraic never rushed her. With his calm, gentle, and friendly manner, he gradually earned her trust and helped her relax. Padraic consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog feels safe and comfortable, and he has always been accommodating to our needs. We feel very lucky to have found him. I highly recommend Padraic without hesitation, and we will absolutely be asking for his walking services again and again!”

About: I’ve been a sitter for dogs and cats ranging from under 1 year old to 14 years old. I am attentive about feeding, walking, and play schedules and treat each animal that I take care of as my own! I’m currently working a full-time job but happy to help with dog walks in the mornings and open to drop ins and walks during the weekends. I treat client’s homes as my own and communicate and plan with clients beforehand to make sure that I know where all the supplies are and understand their expectations during my drop-in sessions.

“Michelle was amazing! Her communication was superb. She was quick to respond and made me feel really comfortable that my dog was in her hands. 100% using Michelle again!”
