Dog Walkers in Spreckels, CA

“Christie was very sweet to my babies, was prompt and communicated well. I appreciated that she took the time to get to know my pups, home and concerns. I always worry that my pups are just wild and not following our normal and ongoing training with walkers and sitters. However, during our introductions Christie seemed comfortable correcting behaviors like jumping and chewing. The pups were sad when she left which is a great sign to me!”

About: Starting in high school I worked for an adoption center and have worked with animals ever since. From dogsitting, cat sitting, volunteering at the animal shelter, and more, I’ve always enjoyed being involved with animals. My main job is an online fitness coach and so I can work remotely due to that. For that reason I’m able to work with just about any schedule your animal may have. I’ve worked with elder dogs as well as puppies to help them maintain their usual routine. I’m also practiced in giving eye drops, medication, and insulin shots through my other pet sitting jobs I’ve done in the past. For me the most important thing is not breaking routine. I’m a creature of habit myself so I appreciate descriptive texts or notes that way I can help keep your animal in the same pattern as they would be if you were home.

“I am so happy with Kimberly’s service. Since I contacted her she was professional, nice and caring. My dog is almost five years old and she has had so many behavioral problems. This is the first time I get her a dog walker and I believe I make the best decision when choosing Kimberly. When we first met, I was so nervous because my dog doesn’t do well with strangers. As soon as Kimberly approached Zoey, she was relaxed and curious. I know my dog and while we introduced ourselves I felt like crying out of relief and happiness. I was also anxious with the first walk, but everything went great. If Kimberly can handle my dog, she can handle any other dogs.”

“Jessica is a great dog walker! She’s always on time, sends me adorable photos of Penny, and puts her leash and collar back where they belong. I really appreciate that she also takes the time to play with our senior golden — it means a lot. Highly recommend!”

About: I have owned animals of many kinds! From as small as a guinea pig to as big as a horse. Dogs have always been a main source of love and I have almost always had one as a part of my family for as long as I remember. I am patient and kind, and would appreciate the chance to help a family when possible! Pet care will be fitting into my daily life in between family matters. My children are in school from 815AM-5PM as long as nothing comes up or appointments have been made. Caring for pets is more natural than anything. As of now, my family and I care for a guinea pig and fish. We make sure the animals are fed and environments are clean. We are hands on with the guinea pig every day to make sure she has the interaction she needs to stay as healthy as she can.

“Chrystina did an amazing job on her first solo walk with our dogs, especially with Lola, who can be a bit timid and nervous with new people. Her patience and dedication were truly impressive—she took the time to earn Lola’s trust and even found creative ways to get her comfortable. We really appreciate how attentive and caring she was, keeping us updated throughout and ensuring both dogs were happy and well cared for. Thank you, Chrystina, for going above and beyond—we’re very grateful!”

About: I’ve loved caring for pets for years and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I was the primary caregiver for a family friend’s dog for over a year during COVID and have also looked after my uncle’s dog during multi-week stays. I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, park time, exercise, and socialization, along with feeding, pee pad changes, and a clean, happy home. I’ve also cared for about five cats over the years and currently have a cat of my own. I know how to keep cats happy, healthy, and comfortable with feeding, litter box care, and plenty of gentle attention. I love spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently attending hartnell college as a full time student and athlete. As every semester changes due to classes, my practice schedule is always consistent. I am unavailable from 12-3 everyday, other than that I am completely available depending on my class schedule! I am available on Saturday all day, Sunday I am available after 10am. When I care for pets in a clients home, I like to treat their space and the pets as if it’s my own. I follow each pets routine closely, I make sure feeding is on time, fresh water is provided, and giving a lot of affection. For dogs I make sure to take daily walks, visit parks or local areas for exercise and socialization if that’s what the dog feels comfortable with, and to make sure they get a good amount of stimulation and play time. For cats I maintain litter boxes, cozy and warm resting spots, and prioritize spending quality time playing or even just keeping them company so they’re not alone. I also keep the home clean and organized, tidy up any messes, and make sure the environment stays safe and comfortable for the pets. My goal is always to help pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, both as pets and through dog sitting/walking. I have one shih-tzu who I’ve cared for the past 10 years and also have experience through previously volunteering at the SPCA of Monterey county, working with dogs, cats, and small animals. At the moment, I am currently a part time student in college on Tuesdays and Thursdays and otherwise have open availability. I’m free to work on other weekdays and weekends anytime in the afternoon or evening. With my experience, I am prepared to take any extra precautions or care when informed by the owners. I’m open for contact throughout the day while caring for pets.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages starting when I was 13 years old. I have been employed by neighbors, family friends, and friends of mutual friends. My duties include feeding, playing, and walking. I provide undivided attention, security, and unconditional love to your furry family member. I prioritize the owner's guidelines and wishes regarding how I fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I will usually start the day with morning walks and feeding sessions, ensuring each pet gets the exercise and nutrition they need to start their day right. Throughout the day, I schedule playtime and plenty of cuddle breaks to keep them happy and engaged. In the evenings, I do another round of walks, feeding, and any necessary grooming. Balancing my schedule around pet care allows me to give each pet the attention and love they deserve, making sure their needs are met consistently.

I also keep the home tidy and ensure that pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. In both settings, I prioritize the pets' health, happiness, and safety, providing lots of love and attention to keep them content and well-cared for.

About: I have a few years of experience in caring for animals such as dogs, cats, birds, fish, horses, and many more. I have taken care of some of my family's pets in the past. I was in charge of feeding, bathing, cleaning, and walking them until their owners arrived back home. The primary way that pet care fits into my daily routine is that I have pets of my own that I am responsible for taking care of. I have two dogs, that I have to feed, clean up after and walk daily. Here are a few ways I take care of my own pets: - I feed them in the morning when I wake up around six am - I play fetch with both of my dogs during the afternoon - Then I feed them dinner around six pm before I get ready to rest in my bed - If they need to be groomed I will put them in the tub

About: I grew up on a cattle ranch and have taken care of livestock cats dogs all my life I like animals more than people for sure I’m a morning person so I like to get out early and feed an exercise and then come back late afternoon early evening to feed again When I bring animals to my house. They’re welcome as a member of the family and can jump on the furniture or the bed just like my animals do

“Maria and JJ are amazing! They have been walking our dog Loki at night for a month now and will soon be boarding him while we are on vacation. We did a meet and greet with their dogs at their house and Loki was so excited to see them! I receive pictures every night and frequent updates. Highly recommend them!”

“Oscar was great! We had to find someone last minute and he was very flexible coming over last minute to meet our dog and to figure out a plan for the time we were away. He left us great updates and was very responsive when we messaged him, so we never felt worried about our dog while trying to enjoy our vacation.”

About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.

About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. When I was younger I had 3 male dogs. Peluche was a maltepoo, Achilles was a weiner, and Chino was a Maltese. I fed them and took them on walks everyday after school. Unfortunately, Peluche died of a heart disease in 2009 and we cremated him. Then we moved and we had to give the other dogs away. From the ages of 12 to 14, I took care of the poodles that belonged to my neighbor Sunny that lived next door to my grandma in Hilmar, Ca. She knew me since I was a baby and I would always help her care for her poodles and help sell them. When I was 16 my mom got a dog and his name was Peke. He was a maltepoo as well and he was the love of my life. I loved bathing him, playing with him, training him, and sleeping with him. He was my buddy and he would wait for me at the window to see when I would get home from school. Unfortunately, we lived in an apartment and after 2 years neighbors complained and we had to let him go. I believe I would be a great dog sitter because I am very patient with children and dogs. I am responsible and I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. Pet care fits into my schedule since I go to community college and sometimes I am unemployed and need a way of making money to take care of myself and necessities. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines that are given to me. I appreciate routines and guidelines.

About: Hi, I’m Jayla I’ve had about 5-6 years of experience in pet care. I have so much free time on my hands and would love to try this out and be able to build new relationships with your fur babies, and also just help you out with your pet needs. I’m able to feed, water, play, take them for walks/runs, or just simply provide company for your pet. I have a huge heart for animals and truly enjoy being around them. I’m new to this app so please feel free to reach out anytime if you’re in need of someone to watch your pet for you! They’ll be loved by me as if they’re my own :) I have a lot of extra time on my hands during the week. Watching your pet for you would be the perfect addition to my day and gives me something to do which I enjoy. Your pet is welcome here anytime Pets ARE allowed on furniture/beds. My cat is an indoor cat. I like to keep Ace inside just because of the wildlife outside. I know cats are hunters but I feel as if his safety is 10x better and able to be observed, when he’s inside with me. He is on a great schedule when it comes to food and water and baths are a must! He’s spoiled rotten and has all the toys in the world. He has his own bed but somehow ends up with me every night- he’s very clingy. If I’m watching a bigger dog, Ace will usually sit and watch from a distance and mind his business. If I’m watching a smaller dog, Ace might want to sniff for a little bit then end up wanting to play! If he doesn’t like the dog, he’ll run off and hide or lay at a window by himself where he won’t get bothered. If your dog isn’t well with cats, I AM able to put Ace into another room where they can be separated for the time being :)

About: Throughout my whole life I have grown up around dogs and absolutely adore making connections with them! I am super friendly have a caring acknowledgment towards caretaking needs for pets! Observing and keeping a close eye on pets is one of my main priorities when with them, but also engaging and playing whenever possible! I am considered a full time college student however with classes or practice I have a lot of free time and who wouldn’t want to spend it with dogs while also getting some exercise! I am very responsible and always keep a close eye on the activity of any pet. Whether that entails having water, taking them out to use the bathroom, or playing with them when needed!
