About: I have cared for and cherished so many animals my whole life, from puppies to senior fur-babies, big and small. Being a former mail carrier (*insert mailman being chased by dog punchline*), I befriended animals everyday on my routes, and with this I understand, and take seriously, the respect, safety, and awareness needed in becoming acquainted with new furry friends. Anything from Lhasa apso to cocker spaniel to labradoodle to pit bull and to Doberman, you name it, I’ve cared for them! I’ve spent many years administering, vet-approved, health/quality of life medications (anxiety, infections, fleas, etc.), bathing/brushing/drying, and exercising dogs. I love seniors and puppies all the same, all are welcome! It is my mission to provide ease and comfort for you, and your beloved fur-family, until you're back home with them again; all while doing something that I love :) My current schedule is open 7 days a week, from early morning, up until 8pm at night. Anything from a walk, a couple hours, or part of a day, I’ll take care of them! My home resides in a quiet suburb, and includes the following:. OUTDOOR: - Supervised backyard time (potty and play) - Tall fenced yard - Large grass area - Chlorinated swimming pool (parent permission mandatory-warm weather only-72°and up) INDOOR: - Baby gates for stair access (2 story home) - Flat or fluffy dog beds - Toys (tennis balls, soccer ball, football, frisbees, and unripped squeaky toys) - Medium and large indoor kennel - Food and water bowls - Potty pads - Treats (parent permission needed)
“Liz has been great with Daisy! She is very responsive to messages and questions, always responding within a few minutes. She takes great pictures and provides details of Daisy's walk. It's very reassuring to have someone I can trust to take care of my baby!”
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.

About: My experience comes from owning not just dogs (XL-XS) and cats, but many animals in my lifetime. To me, living with these animals is the best way to gain experience. I have also done many house sitting jobs for people with lots of pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing. To me, the most important thing is establishing trust with your sitter, and I am a guaranteed safe person to trust any animal with. I’m great at reading animal body language and typically do well with all pets. I work at Panera, so my hours are not crazy, and never are usually longer than 4 hours, so pet sitting works great with my schedule. My college is also online so that doesn’t effect my schedule for the most part. In a clients home, it’s important to follow all of the instructions they provide, while also making their pets feel as if the owners never left.
“We hired Tatiyana for the first time as a dog walker. She did a great job walking and playing with Mia. She was sweet to Mia and loved our dog and visa versa. Will hire her again and highly recommend her!!”
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.

About: Since I was old enough to walk, animals have been a loving part of my life. Growing up in a household where pets were treated as family, taught me that every dog and cat has a unique personality and set of needs. I am particularly skilled at reinforcing consistent routines. If you are working on leash training or basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay,' I make sure to incorporate those into our walks so your progress doesn't stall. I am also experienced with senior care, understanding that sometimes a 'walk' is more about a slow sniff-around-the-block and some gentle companionship than a fast-paced walk. My professional life is uniquely flexible, which allows me to be a great anchor for an early morning walk or early afternoon walk. I am available Mon-Thurs 5am-7:30am and 3:30pm to 8:30pm. Friday, Saturday and Sundays I am available all day for those walks and check ins that are needed when errands outs are the priority. I will treat your home with the same level of respect I’d want for my own. My process is thorough: I double check that all doors are deadbolted, alarm systems are set, and water bowls are topped off before I leave. To keep you in the loop, I provide detailed Rover Cards after every visit. You’ll receive photos of our adventures, a map of our walk, and a summary of all 'business' handled. If a mess occurred while you were away, I handle the clean up thoroughly so you can come home to a fresh house and a happy, relaxed pet.

At this time, I cannot provide stay overnight in your home as I have a baby. I also work during the day, but can do many drop in visits between the hours of 5am-7am and 4pm-11pm. I have many references to provide you if you are interested in learning more. I would love to meet you and your dog prior to providing my services for you. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. Thank you for considering me to watch your furry friend. I do work during the day so I can do drop in visits between the hours of 5am-7am and 4pm-11pm. I am currently not accepting overnight care as I have a baby and I need to be here at home with him. I will let the dogs out as many times as they need. They will not stay outside for long periods of time unless you let me know that they can.
About: Hi, I’m Celeste! 🐾 I’m a friendly, passionate animal lover who has been working with animals since 2018. I started my career working at a boarding facility, where I cared for dogs and cats and handled their day-to-day needs, including feeding, administering medications, and providing plenty of exercise and enrichment through walks, fetch, swimming, and agility. As I gained experience, I moved into dog training and have worked with puppies through adult dogs of all breeds. I have experience teaching everything from basic obedience to advanced training. I’ve also worked in a veterinary hospital, giving me additional experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. I also offer basic grooming services upon request, including baths, blow-drying, nail trims, and ear cleaning. 🛁🐶 I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play, explore, and potty. I also have a separate room where your dog can relax, decompress, or be crated if that is part of their normal routine. Since I don’t currently have any pets of my own, your dog can enjoy a calm environment without having to share their space with other resident animals. 🧼 Clean & Safe Environment Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority! I sanitize my yard daily and use kennel-grade cleaning products throughout my home, crates, and yard to maintain a clean and sanitary environment for every pet in my care. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and I want you to feel confident knowing they are safe, comfortable, cared for, and treated like family while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I’m a stay at home mom looking to earn more income! I have always been around animals in my last jobs and this is a way to still do that while being home! I treat pets in my home as if they are mine. I follow the instructions for feedings provided by the owners. I have plenty water set out for the pets during play times or walks. I can do training sessions while your pets are here or offer grooming services for the departure.

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Thornton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
