Dog Walking In Sonoma Ranch

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and started volunteering with rescue organizations when I was just 10 years old. Now at 19, I have nearly a decade of hands-on experience caring for animals from many different backgrounds. I currently have three dogs of my own, including a 13-year-old senior I’ve raised from her birth, so I’m very comfortable caring for both energetic young pets and older animals who need a little extra patience and gentle attention! Many of the animals I’ve worked with came from stressful situations, which has given me great experience helping pets with anxiety or nervous behaviors feel safe and comfortable. I always focus on creating a calm, positive environment where every pet feels loved and secure while their owner is away! I truly love animals of all kinds, from the smallest to the biggest, and I still volunteer with rescue organizations in my free time to help pets find their forever homes! Pet sitting allows me to do something I genuinely enjoy while giving every animal the same care and attention I give my own! My current job has its schedule a month out, so I can be very clear on which days I work. My usual shift begins at 5 pm and will not last more than 5 hours max. On Thursdays I have class from 3-6 pm, and on both Tuesdays and Thursday I have class from 10-11:15 am but no work. I will keep all animals under constant supervision and make sure to thoroughly read any instructions left behind. I make sure that every animal is entertained, and try to teach them things they might’ve not known how to do before, such as minor tricks to keep their minds engaged.

“Thank you, Claudia for making the time to swing by and help me out with my fur babies. I really do appreciate the extra help. It gives me time to do other duties from my pets that I’m usually in a rush for— like clean their litter box, freshen up their water bowls, fresh food for them and spend more time with the kitties, especially because I know Brownie gets a lot more outside time so I appreciate all your help and your flexibility and making everything so smooth with your visits. Look forward to working with you anytime!.”

“We LOVE you”

“Reliable, on time and very communicative as always :) I know my Lalo is always taken care of and I really appreciate that he lets him run wild and free off leash at the dog park and all the precious photos and videos that I’m sent ♥️ I’ve been going thru a really hard time having to work full time and visiting my brother in the ICU and I can’t thank him enough for taking on my Husky who can be a handful 😅 couldn’t be more thankful 😭”

Samantha S.

“He is very attentive and kind with us and with the dogs, always punctual, and you can tell he genuinely wants to do things well. His interest in the well-being of the pets is sincere”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I’m very educated on dog safety and truly love and care for all animals. I have a wide range of experience with different breeds. I have cared for toy poodles all the way up to Dobermans. I have a rescued german shepherd mix named Duke and he is truly my best friend. Training Duke is one of my favorite things to do and I can help train your dog as well! I frequently foster dogs from the local animal shelter and have learned so much by doing so. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible! I work from home which allows me to give the dogs lots of attention throughout the day. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for walks, daycare, and boarding, and I’m flexible with scheduling to help meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where dogs are treated like family. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, routines, and needs so they feel secure and stress free. I’m experienced with many different breeds and sizes, and I always prioritize safe walks, supervised playtime, and lots of love and attention. For safety, if I ever need to step out briefly, dogs will be placed in their crates.

“Hector was very responsive and kind to my puppers. He was even flexible and was able to meet me and my pup before I left out of town. Thanks Hector”

About: I grew up surrounded by pets and learned early on how to train, care for, and support them with love and patience. From daily walks and playtime to consistent routines and gentle training, I treat every pet as if they’re my own family. I have open availability as I am a full time graduate student. I’m available to take care of pets, walk them, or do drop in visits. I care for pets by walking, feeding, and having fun with them, for those that have a specific schedule I stick to it. I make sure to avoid any furniture or open areas that might interfere with pet safety.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since i was 15. I took care of my neighbors dogs across the street and spent the night and they were two pit bulls and a great dane. I love dogs, so don’t hesitate to call! I am currently in school at St. Edward’s University. I am on the baseball team as well. But I am in injured right now for this season. So i have a lot more free time. I can easily crate your dogs at your house if needed. Like at my house if my dog misbehaves i will send her to her crate for about 10-15 minutes. Whatever yall do when yall dogs get in trouble I can do the same thing.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 6 when I got my first furry friend. Since then, I have rescued 2 more! During High school I volunteered at my local Humane Society where I cared for dogs and cats of all kinds. My friends, family and neighbors have trusted me enough care for their pets. I’m a post-grad girl currently shopping in the job market. I have a lot of free time, so I am flexible with hours! I am a little busy after 4 pm, but feel free to contact me anyway! I have experience working with dogs of all sorts from my experience volunteering at the local humane society. I also have 3 dogs of my own! They are all different and have different needs. I will be very careful & loving with your pets to make sure they are comfortable every step of the way. I am detail-oriented, so I will probably read any instructions 3 times over. You are safe with me! Disclaimer: I am not a professional trainer. I do work best with medium to small dogs

“Such an incredible experience. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was taken care of like he was her own!”

Kaitlin T.

“Shakendria was very patient and kind to my sweet boy. He was timid when they first met, but she took the time to make him feel comfortable before taking him on his walk.”

Brianna W.

“She was fantastic with my dogs! One of mine is older and can be dog-aggressive, but she handled both of them so well and was very patient and attentive. She was also super kind and even came to meet them ahead of time, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m especially patient with anxious dogs and understand how important routine, calm environments, and consistency are. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. With a strong background in healthcare, I’m detail-oriented, observant, and quick to notice any changes in behavior or well-being. Your pet will be treated with the same care and respect I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule and only work three days a week, so I spend most of my time at home and can provide consistent, attentive care for your pet. I offer solo boarding in a calm, low-stress environment where your dog receives my full attention. I’m especially patient with anxious dogs and keep routines consistent to help them feel secure. My home is clean, quiet, and closely supervised, and I provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I grew up with pets as part of my family, which taught me from an early age how to care for them with patience, consistency, and respect. Being around dogs and cats my whole life helped me learn how to read their body language, understand their routines, and respond to their individual needs, whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m currently focusing on personal growth and beginning a new chapter in my life. This gives me wide availability and flexibility to dedicate quality time and attention to pet sitting. I’m able to prioritize consistent visits, unhurried care, and being fully present with each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, comfort, and reliability they deserve. I focus on providing calm, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, making adjustments to ensure they feel safe and at ease while their owner is away. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are important to me, and I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: We absolutely love animals! I treat our babies like the family members they are and I'll do the same for your little fur babies! We have plenty of toys, soft pillows, and treats for your little ones. I will do my best to accommodate your pets needs and make sure they feel right at home! I will provide updates and pictures daily and even if you'd like, we can video chat with your babies just for additional piece of mind. I also invite you to meet with me before hand as I understand it can be stressful leaving your loved one with a stranger. You can trust your pet will be in a clean, safe, loving, and fun home! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently work from home and have a large amount of flexibility in my day. My dogs can go outside in my fenced yard as many times as they like. My yard is fully fenced and gated. I often work outside also so the pups have plenty of outside time. How you specify you walk or care for your pups, I will be sure to so the same.

“Thank you so much for taking care of Porto this week. Hopefully we can use you again in the future!”
