Dog Walking Thornton

“Kristen is a wonderful walker - very reliable and professional. She does a great job working with our timid, slow to warm up yet active and energetic dog!”

About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!

About: I’ve been around of medium/large dogs essentially my entire life and have provided care to them during every stage of their lives. I posses the confidence, patience, and discipline needed to care for young pets and those in training. I’d love to meet your fur babes soon! I am actively searching for full-time employment, so I have lots of time to play and train with your pets. I do have my own working dog, who has daily needs to be fulfilled. I have a field line Labrador who has a neutral demeanor and typically pays no mind to other animals. My yard isn’t big enough for much other than going potty, however I have a large park nearby for fetch and the neighborhood perfect for walks.

About: I have been a pet owner since I entered the world. Most of my experience is with dogs, but I do have two cats. As of now, most of my pet-sitting jobs have been for close family friends. I am just starting on my Rover journey. I am a college student who is looking to help pay for my college expenses. I'm only offering Friday-Sunday right now since I will be working during the week and don't have a flexible schedule. On the weekends, your dogs will have my full attention :) I do not provide care in my own home. I will work with you to ensure that your pet feels safe with me while I am in their space.

“Punctual, friendly, flexible. Will definitely rebook”

“Emily has been taking care of my girl for the last 5 months and I couldn't be happier. She is timely and flexible and Grace LOVES her. If you just need your pet to be walked while you're at work or drop in visits while you are away, you can count on Emily to take great care of your beloved pets!”

About: I have had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for them. I grew up with dogs and have been around them my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and needs. I also had a cat for many years, giving me experience with feline care as well. In addition to caring for my own pets, I dog sit for friends and have helped take care of my grandparents’ dogs. Through these experiences, I’ve become reliable with walks, playtime, meal routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy caring for animals and treat every pet as if it were my own.

I’m currently job searching so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate to each pet’s needs. This allows me to give pets consistent attention with walks, playtime, feedings, and company throughout the day. I am able to adapt to every pets’ different routines so it’s close to the schedule they’re used to. I live in a very safe neighborhood and close to a dog park as well. I would walk my dogs and take them to play at the parks often. I understand how crucial safety is when it comes to pets, especially in the care of someone other than their owners. I would take the upmost responsibility to make sure your fur babies are safe and loved.

About: Hello Fur Baby Parents! Welcome to Furbaby Care by Danielle! I'm a pet sitting extraordinaire and bay area native. :) Here are some fun facts. I value serving people and their fur babies. I’ve held jobs in tech, fitness, special needs, and customer service. Extensive volunteer work with pediatric and geriatric, and hand therapy in pursuing OT. I just received my Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. Woot woot! I also have a minor in Photography. Avid fan of fitness, cooking, and creative pursuits. Please reach out! I'd love to learn more about you and your pets. I love animals! So much that I’ve had the joy of caring for one of my first cats, Em, while she was pregnant and gave birth to 4 beautiful kittens! She showed up as a skidish stray cat in our backyard, and I slowly lured her in with a treat trail. I befriended her and gave her pets. Instantly, the two of us connected even though she was wild. I took her to the vet to be adopted, and the vet said she was going to have kittens! I still have the ultrasound images of the four little spinal cords in her belly. :) Two of them I still own and the other two were adopted by friends. Sadly, Em is no longer with us, but Cleo and Chateau have grown up to be cute healthy little puritos. I saved my Texas kitty, Eliot, from being cornered by another wild cat while I was going to school. Once he walked into my apartment, I knew it was love at first sight. He is my travel buddy and has been to 5 states! Marshall is our little geriatric kitty (18 years, 88-89 in human years). She is a little love who likes to lick human noses and sleep all day. I would be happy to care for your fur babies while you are away. I will send you beautiful photos of your pets everyday. :) I have a flexible schedule to work week days and weekends while I’m studying for my board exam. I will send you fur baby updates and take pictures of your fur babies to keep you in the loop. Meet and greets are a perfect way to get to know you and your fur babies before booking a service. I would prefer a virtual meet and greet over Facetime or Zoom since meet and greets are usually unpaid. But I would meet in person for anyone who would feel more comfortable with that. ************Rates priced due to the service, 20% Rover fee, driving time, independent contractor taxes, and outrageous gas prices 🥲.************** ***All pet photos provided have the potential to be use for marketing purposes as the best way to get the word out about my sitting services is through beautiful photography.*** I do not currently care for pets at home because of the small space, but maybe in the future! I just travel to homes right now. Thank you so much for stopping by to read my profile page. Please contact me if you have any questions or documents/detailed care instructions. I'd be happy to take all special requests into consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon. :)

“megan is the best, always leaves a detailed summary of the visit. i know conrad is taken care of with her!”

I am working a part time job with flexible hours and sometimes I also do work remotely so I can work with your schedule as much as time allows and with knowledge ahead of time. The way that I take care of houses and pets is the same because I do both based off of your instruction. I know that routine is important and I think where I really strive is listening to your wishes and communicating.

About: I have lived my entire life with and around dogs and i even have experience fostering dogs as well as volunteering at the animal shelter I currently do not have a job so I am able spend time with and care for your pet at any hour of the day. I can easily crate and clean up after your pet if necessary. My home has a sound wall and I currently have no other pets.

About: I had a beagle from age 6 to 22. From 22 to 36 I had a Maine Coon. I currently have 2 cute ginger cats and a fat grey and white cat. Everyone was a rescue! I own a small business and work from home. I can get to your home in the Elk Grove area very easily and quickly to visit with your critters. We prepare fresh meals for our cats. We haver cat backpacks and crates to transport them around. They like to visit outside and pretend they are still wild. One likes to explore. The other two are afraid of their shadows.

About: For the past four years, I have raised and cared for chickens, lambs, and goats for our county fair. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning pens, changing water, and walking and training each animal one to two times daily. I always made sure to dedicate consistent, quality time to properly train and care for each of my animals. While these are not the specific types of animals I would be caring for in this position, I believe this experience reflects my strong work ethic, responsibility, and ability to care for animals of all sizes and needs. In addition to my fair experience, I have had animals my entire life. Currently, I have three dogs and ten chickens at home, and I am responsible for their daily care, including feeding, cleaning, and overall needs. My oldest dog is 15 years old, and I have been primarily responsible for his care for the past seven years. Most of my experience is with small dogs under 20 pounds, but I have also walked and cared for larger dogs weighing around 100 pounds. Additionally I have been a prominent member of Tokay FFA’s Veterinary science team, on this team I’ve learned dozens of minor medical procedures that I am confident in doing such as administration of various medications via oral, aural, and injections, bandage wrapping and removal, and the concept of safe handling with all kinds of animals. I am well versed in many species of animals, ages, and sizes so I hope to be a good fit for your beloved pets. I am currently on summer break and will be attending college this coming fall, as of right now my schedule is fairly open. T is a few days where my hours may change, but overall I am available at all times of day every day to fit your needs. Times are subject to change and if I ever have a conflict I will be sure to notify you with proper prior notice to ensure your pets are taken care of. If there is fences at your home I will always be sure to lock and close them behind me if your pets are inside, I am also well versed in handling larger dogs/animals so I will not easily be pushed to the side if your pet is prone to doing so. I am confident in my animal handling skills and if your dog needs to be fenced in or crated I am confident I can do so.

About: Kevin and I have both been caring for dogs and many other types of animals for our entire lives and absolutely couldn’t envision our life without several animals. Kevin has grown up around a family dog business - participating in AKC scent trials, agility training, boarding and almost any other type of dog event & training you can imagine. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire lifetime and used to help foster kittens as a child and teenager. We currently have two dogs, several cats, chickens, turkeys and more. Your animals will be in safe and caring hands with us! We both work but set our own schedules and/or work from home so your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. Since we have animals of our own, caring for additional pets is not a problem and part of our normal lifestyle. We have a large fenced dog run outside, in home kennel area, along with crates for crate trained dogs. Our property is about 5 acres and fully fenced with front gates so dogs cannot leave the area. We also have a couple large lawns we use for doggy playtime, fetch and training sessions.

About: "Having grown up around animals all my life, I have a natural instinct for reading a pet's body language and understanding their needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to customized care—I adapt to your pet's specific personality, whether they are playful, shy, or need extra cuddle time. I treat every guest just like a member of my own family." Since I work from home full-time, pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to provide constant companionship, frequent bathroom breaks, and playtime whenever needed. I naturally take breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs, which is the perfect time for walks or backyard play. Your pet will essentially be my 'co-worker' and will rarely be left unattended. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. When hosting pets in my home, I ensure the environment is fully pet-proofed, clean, and free of any hazards. Pets are never left unattended, and I always do a slow, supervised introduction if other animals are present. I strictly follow your feeding, crating, and bathroom routines to keep their environment as familiar as possible. If I am caring for your pet in your own home, I respect your space and follow your house rules to the letter. I maintain your security protocols, ensure doors and gates are always locked, and keep a close eye on your pet during walks to avoid any unsafe interactions. No matter the location, I promise to send you daily photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
