Dog Walkers in Thoman, CA

About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs, having grown up with them in the Champagne Region (France), and I finally moved to California three years ago after spending a decade living in Australia, South Africa, and China. Shortly after settling in, I adopted my little Charlie, who has brought endless joy into my life ever since. Charlie is my constant companion—we go everywhere together! He’s a big fan of the ocean, enjoys snacking on yogurt, loves playing with other dogs, and even enjoys chasing those pesky squirrels. Charlie also loves having friends over, and we often care for dogs belonging to friends. As we welcome the new year, we’re excited to make even more furry friends! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day starts with morning walks in the vineyard and plenty of playtime with Charlie, ensuring he gets the exercise and mental stimulation he needs. Throughout the day and depending on work needs, I make time for meals, treats, and cuddles, incorporating his care seamlessly into my schedule. On weekends, I prioritize longer adventures like beach trips, hikes, or visits to dog parks, where Charlie can socialize and explore. I also enjoy caring for friends’ dogs, so having extra pups around is a natural extension of my routine. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. They have plenty of space to relax, play, and explore. Daily walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions are part of the routine. My dog, Charlie, loves making new friends, so visiting pets always have a buddy to keep them company. I maintain a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel at ease and cared for.

About: I’ve had neighbors, friends and family rely on my to take care of their kids and pets since I was about 16 but I didn’t start really doing it a lot until I was about 18 and driving. I’m used to taking care of kids and animals at the same time so just taking care of animals would be pretty easy for me. I currently only work weekends 11:15-5:15pm other than that I’m fully available. I do play in some soccer leagues but I’ll only be gone about an hour and a half of the days I play. I am comfortable putting dogs in crates, picking up after animals, feeding them, letting them out and giving them as much love as they will take lol.

About: I grew up taking care of my family's dogs (feeding, bathing, walking, playing with) and I started cat sitting for neighbors when I was ten. I am currently working a part time job from my home, so I have a lot of flexibility to walk, feed, or watch your pets overnight. I won't be able to board animals in my house but because I have two dogs of my own I understand how precious our animals are and promise to treat your animals with the same love and care I treat mine with.

About: I have years of experience caring for pets of my family and friends. Offering reliable walking, sitting, and loving care for pets of all sizes. Passionate about animals and dedicated to their happiness, safety, and well-being. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable pet care Monday through Friday and most weekends. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or drop-in visits, I’m available to ensure pets receive the attention and care they need. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. I ensure a safe, comfortable environment, following routines to keep pets happy and stress-free in their home.

About: I grew up caring for my family pets which included 3 dogs, a cat and a snake. As I got older I have also become an experienced animal care giver by pet sitting the pets and homes of many family friends. This typically involves feeding, playing, bathing, walking and loving on the animals. I am so happy to have the opportunity to help others care for their beloved pets! I am currently working a full time job in Calistoga 9-6, with my days off being Wednesdays and Thursdays. I am happy to do dog walking in the mornings as well as housesitting/pet sitting in the evenings. Any services needed between 9-5 are limited to my days off I am very flexible and I hope to care for your pets in a way that is similar to their normal life. I am very attentive and aim to spend as much time with the pets as possible during my time caring for them!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Now that I’m living away from home I really miss having pets around. Help me get my dog fix and I’ll love your pets like my own! I’m working full time but I am available every day, generally during the daytime. I’d love to come take your dog out for a midday walk while you’re working. I’m also training for a marathon, so if your dog is more energetic I’d love a running buddy. I can take care of your dogs in your home or take them for walks! I love long walks and hikes with active dogs, but I’d also love short walks with your elderly pups too!

About: I have trained my personal dogs with basic commands and helpful safety training so the dog and human are safe. Can assist with puppy training and leash walking as well. I adore all cats and the strong willed personalities. Birds including chickens are also in my wheel house. My flexible schedule gives me the opportunity to care for your pet through the day in a mellow and calm environment. Multiple neighborhood walks and fetch are on the daily itinerary. I am comfortable with crate training dogs, and or free roaming pups. If your dog pulls on walks, I am delighted to have the patience to work on stopping this trait to make walking a breeze for you in the future.

About: Hey there! I'm a gal who doesn't own a dog (just 3 cats!) who works from home some days of the week and is happy to take care of your pooch! I joke with my friends and family that I'm a kennel for their pups when they go out of town - why not help out other local friends! I have owned dogs my whole life but just don't have the time to own one currently so I'm happy to help out those that need someone to watch their fur baby! We have a wonderful large fenced yard in a quiet part of St. Helena. Your dog can have free access to the home and our fenced in yard. Quiet neighborhood next to vineyards where the pup can play! Happy to help you out - bring on the dogs! I love them all and am a fun and active person who will take wonderful care of your pet ( just ask my friends how obsessed I am with my cats Grover, Fat Freddy & Ralph!!). Thank you! I work from an office most days with the exception of event weekends and some evenings. I do sometimes have to leave during the day but your dog would be in a secure home with us. Fenced yard on the vineyard and close by lots of walking and vineyards. We do have 3 cats so I prefer your dog to be cat friendly or be able to take some hissing from them.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats since I was 5. We had medium sized dogs, 2 terrier mixes Benz & Benjamiah, and a poodle named Tracy. My grandparents had Irish Setters, Brandy & Rusty, who I spent my summers running and swimming with. We had a Siamese cat Coco, a domestic short haired named Butterscotch, a longhaired named Gati, and had 4 cats at one point- Strider, Waldon, Keelee & Kara. I even owned guinea pigs Albert & Lilac, a hamster I took over for a roommate named Einstein, and a beta fish Bebe lol. Do sea monkeys count lol? I give animals 100% attention, and make sure they feel loved and cared for. I love playing with cats with feather wands or laser pointers, and playing fetch and tug of war with dogs. I feel comfortable with animals to make sure they feel safe and am willing to try and help out with unwanted behavior. I have my cat Gizmo, who is more in retirement mode lounging about at the ripe old age of 20. I am currently able to pet sit full time. I have 2 regular clients that I walk their dogs 3 times a week, 1 client’s dogs I walk 5 times a week and 1 client’s dog I walk twice a week. I do my schedule every week and make it around the pet sitting, so they have priority, so it works for everyone. I make sure to get and follow instructions at my client's home for their pets. I let the pets sleep on the bed with me, and can drive dogs to different places to go for a walk if allowed. I can bring toys for cats if they don't have any to play with, most love catnip if allowed. I bring a collapsable water bowl for dog walks. I give them a lot of attention and love playing with pets. I make sure I know the commands the owner's use so I use the same ones. I give pets a lot of affection, and being a massage practitioner, I do give good rubs and pets, feeling where they could use it, and where they like it as well. They usually look forward to my return, remembering the time I spent with them with their tail wags and excitement on my return. I can send photos of pets, even videos, and don't mind client's checking in while they are gone. I am detail oriented and pay attention to what the pets are doing, like habits, and share that with the owners. I’m used to cleaning dogs paws or drying them off if its been muddy/rainy. Also getting off any eye crust.

About: Have been taking care of my own 2 dogs for 4 years now, have loved every second of it. One of my dogs Ollie is about as special and reactive as it gets so I have lots of experience providing the care and patience that different types of dogs need, have also done tons of house sitting and dog walking for various family members and acquaintances throughout the years. Loving dogs is my passion! I am currently doing gig work full time so I have lots of available hours to help take care of your dogs! I spend a lot of time making sure my dogs are taken care of, i would love nothing more than to add yours to my schedule! I have an expansive yard, although only about a third of it is fenced in, however I take my dogs on multiple walks a day, beyond multiple bathroom breaks as well.

About: I have experience in dog and cat sitting for multiple nights for about two years now. I have experience with dogs that require long walks and cats that need to be monitored during the day. I currently work part time, therefore I am available most week days. At the moment, I am only available to walk dogs on my free time and house sit if necessary. I like taking dogs on long walks or runs if they are capable. I usually give pets their space when they are relaxing at home.

“Michaela is great with our pups. She’s punctual and responsive. We’ll continue to work with her.”

Matt N.

“I had to go out of town and booked Lynne at the last minute for day-time walks when no one was home. Her responses were always prompt, her communication was effective and clear, and I felt absolutely comfortable entrusting my pups to her. I also ended up extending my stay last minute and she was fully accommodating. I had let her know that two of my dogs may be a little shy at first, but they apparently were very fond of Lynne, and after just a few days of being walked by a new human, they are more friendly in general to strangers! Thanks Lynne, for taking great care of my pups. I would absolutely recommend Lynne To anyone needing the services she offers.”

Ariel Z.

“I contacted Ronald last minute because I couldn't walk my dog, and even though we didn't have a chance to do a meet and greet, he was patient with my dog. We're excited about more walks with him in the future.”

Janine S.

“I enjoyed meeting Brianne for our first meet and greet. She communicate promptly and showed up on time. Our reactive dog, Vida, got along with her well. I look forward to working with her for more visits. Thanks, Brianne!”

About: Your little guy/gal is my priority and will receive all the care and love you can imagine. I pet sit for my family and absolutely love dogs. Lost my little guy about 1 year ago. My one wish is that I could adopt every homeless and neglected dog and bring them home with me. I walk 2 miles everyday and would love a companion. A walk in a beautiful park right up the street from me. Or we could sit here and watch tv all day. I am a retired bachelor with a very flexible schedule. With enough notice I can work around your schedule. Available any day of the week. I have no pets at this time or children. My priority and total attention will be given to your pet’s needs. My place is 1400 sq. feet.
