Dog Walking Swall

About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals my whole life, but I’ve been doing it professionally for over 5 years. I’m currently in a Vet Tech/Assistant program, so I have the training to handle everything from walks and grooming to giving medicine to diabetic or senior pets. Whether you have dogs, cats, birds, or small mammals, I’m comfortable, educated, and ready to treat your pets like my own I do work as a youth service partner with adopted kids, but that position is intermittent, so I have flexibility and dedication to provide care for your pets. I will provide reliable, safe, loving care in your home. I will strictly follow all routines to make sure your pets stay happy and secure.

“We were in town to visit the National Parks and Kendra did an incredible job with our skittish dog. She was able to build trust quickly and get her the exercise she needed. I appreciate her patience and professionalism. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who may be passing through and needing someone trustworthy!”

“Exactly what I was looking for. I have a nervous dog who we're slowly introducing to new people. Azrael was calm and went slow so that my girl could make a new friend.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for my family members for two years. I rented a house and the owner left his two Great Pyrenees to be in my care for the amount of time I lived there. I have a 3 year old pit bull and a 2 year old German Shepherd I love and care for now. I also have a 2 year old kitty that I love. All animals need love time and energy and I adore animals and their unique personalities! I’m currently working a full time job but I do get Friday- Sundays off which allows me to spend a lot of time with my animals but I know a lot of people who work weekends and or want to travel and I am willing to help people with their fur babies while they’re away. With my families, I make sure to establish a relationship first and make your fur baby trust me and enjoy being around me. If I go to your home, I will always ask where their favorite spot it or if you would like to crate them while I leave. I do enjoy walking them and feeding them and giving treats to enforce positive behavior.

About: Specializing in gentle, professional care to elderly and disabled dogs and cats. I started my professional career in animal care at the East Bay SPCA Veterinary Clinic in Oakland. Inspired by the importance of animal welfare, I would complete an eight-week internship at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, where I gained valuable skills in veterinary pre- and post-op care. Following that remarkable experience, I was a veterinary assistant for a holistic veterinarian at a private practice. Later, I returned to shelter medicine as a veterinary technician at the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society. This span of 25 years allowed me to develop and strengthen my skills and expertise in animal care, specializing in the needs of senior dogs and cats. I am currently accepting new senior or disabled pets for slow strolls and other enrichment activities. My availability is flexible on Saturdays and Sundays, while weekdays are limited to only evening visits. Your pet's trust is important to me. I will arrive into your home with a warm and calm voice, assuring your beloved pets that I am gentle and kind. Being a former vet tech, I am also trained and skilled at giving medication*, which can be done in the comfort of your home. *All medications must be veterinarian-prescribed with dosage instructions. No exceptions.

About: I don’t just watch pets, I build trust with them. By learning their routines and personalities, I create a calm, familiar experience that keeps them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I plan my weekly schedule around the pets in my care to ensure I can meet their specific needs—whether that’s regular walks, medication timing, feeding routines, or extra attention. I keep a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and owners can rely on dependable care. At this time, I offer pet care exclusively in my client’s home. While I’m not able to host pets in my own space, I’ve found that staying in their home keeps them more relaxed and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routine, meals, walks, playtime, and any special care so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re gone.

“Excellent communication and care!”

I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments, and I focus on keeping dogs safe, happy, and well cared for while maintaining their routines. I am currently a graduate student looking for a nice little side job to keep me busy and make some extra money to help with my bills. I love animals and this is the perfect way to keep myself busy.

I pay close attention to their behavior and give them plenty of affection, playtime, and exercise. When I’m in someone else’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, respect their space, and keep them updated so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Hello! My name is Ariel. I have my AA in animal science as well as have my certification in dog obedience training, pet nutrition and pet first aid/CPR. I currently work at an animal hospital and I also do obedience training. I can follow instructions very well and I love to send pictures and updates to pet parents that book with me so they know how everything is going with their babies and help them feel more at ease! I also love bike riding and roller blading which I find are good ways to help release a lot of built up energy in dogs! I strongly believe animals are a big part of our familys and should be loved and cared for like family! I hope I am what you are looking for in a pet sitter! I do my best to accommodate all pet parent wishes with my schedule and am very honest about my abilities and scheduling to make sure everyone is comfortable and on the same page I have a fully fenced yard with tall trees providing lots of shade as well as lots of grass. On warm summer days I do bring out splash pads, pools and sprinklers to have some fun in the sun!

About: I have cared for all sorts of pets including exotics. Pets are like babies to me and I will care for them as if they're my own.
