Dog Walking Wasco

“Lucky and Scout looked so happy in all the updates from Nicole. While we weren’t there to facilitate the walks, our dog sitters had great things to say about Nicole and how she was with our girls. We would definitely hire her again if we needed to!”

“Erika is wonderful! She always takes such great care of our dog and sends me all the details of her time with him so I always know he’s in great hands. Thank you Erika!!”

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up on a farm, caring for dogs, cats, goats, sheep, and chickens, so reading animal behavior, staying calm under pressure and knowing when somethings off comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve trained my own dogs, worked with rescue animals, and volunteered with KARE, where I help rehabilitate, both wild and domestic animals. That experience has taught me how to handle pets of all temperament and backgrounds, including those who were shy, anxious, or still learning the ropes. I personally cared for dogs, cats, ferrets, chinchillas, sugar, gliders, hedgehogs, snakes, fish, turtles, parrots, and a wide variety of reptiles, so chances are, I’ve worked with a pet like yours before! I bring patience and consistency to every interaction, whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer house sit. What sets me apart is that I don’t just love animals, I understand them. Your pet isn’t just a booking to me, they’re a living creature who deserves calm, attentive care from someone who genuinely knows what they’re doing. i’m generally available weekday mornings, weekday evenings, and weekends. My schedule varies week to week, so I keep my calendar updated in real time. If you don’t see any availability that works, feel free to reach out as my schedule sometimes opens up with short notice! when I’m in your home, my priority is keeping your pet safe and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your KARE instructions closely, do a quick safety check on arrival, and reach out immediately if anything seems off. You’ll get photo updates every visit so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Heather was wonderful and made my first experience with Rover an absolute breeze. She communicated well, was extremely kind and took great care of my boy Hank. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever, so I know firsthand that puppies need patience, consistency, playtime, and plenty of love! I also have a 3-year-old cat who absolutely loves dogs, so I’m comfortable creating a happy, respectful environment for pets with different personalities. What I love most about pet sitting is getting to know each animal for who they are. Some dogs want to play all day, some want a quiet spot and lots of cuddles, and some need a little extra patience when they’re in a new environment. I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the same attention and care I’d want for my own pets. My goal is for your dog to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re having a fun little vacation of their own! I recently graduated after being a full-time student, and I’m excited to make pet care a bigger part of my everyday life. I’m intentionally pursuing dog care because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and want to turn that into something meaningful. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets the attention they deserve rather than trying to squeeze them into a busy routine. I’m able to build my day around walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. Since I have a young Golden Retriever myself, I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine and making sure dogs get both exercise and downtime. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. In my home, I provide a calm, supervised environment with plenty of room for play, rest, and one-on-one attention. I’m also mindful of introductions between pets and always want them to feel comfortable rather than overwhelmed. When caring for a pet in their own home, I respect their routine and their space. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely and make sure their environment stays clean and secure. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I want owners to feel confident that their pets are being treated like family while they’re away.

“Always a pleasure to work with! She takes such good care of my boy and I appreciate her being so communicative throughout her stay with him :)”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and know how to handle all kinds of personalities — from playful puppies to senior dogs who just want some calm company. I don’t have formal training, but I have years of hands-on experience and a real love for animals. Since I’m currently not working, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Right now, I’m not working, which means I have plenty of time and attention to give to any pet I’m caring for. I make it a priority to create a calm, safe, and loving environment — whether that’s in my home or the owner’s. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any special instructions. I keep spaces clean, double-check that doors and gates are secure, and make sure pets have fresh water, a cozy resting area, and plenty of attention. Because I have the time, I’m also able to give pets extra walks, playtime, or company if they get anxious being alone. I treat every animal like my own and send regular updates to help owners feel at ease knowing their pet is in good hands. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I always take time to learn about each pet’s unique personality, routines, and any special needs before starting care. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely — including feeding times, walking routes, and any household rules — to help the pet feel secure. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, keep hazardous items out of reach, and maintain a clean, organized space. If caring for pets in my own home, I ensure all animals are properly introduced in a controlled setting, supervise interactions, and provide separate spaces if needed. I use pet-safe cleaning products, fresh water at all times, and ensure plenty of mental and physical enrichment. Above all, I believe trust is built through communication and reliability — I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners always know their pets are happy and safe.

“Goka has been an amazing caretaker for our dog Pochacco. She is very attentive, kind, and communicative when walking our dog and keeping us updated on how he’s doing :) highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs, but my main pet sitting experience is from a family that has me watch their 2 dogs and 2 cats every year during my winter break anywhere from 2 weeks to a month, and I enjoy it! I’m a student, but I’m not in classes right now. I have a lot of free time right now for the summer, specifically on weekdays, and certain weekends! I’m unable to have your animals in my house but could possibly make an exception if needed. In your home, I’ll be very respectful of how you want me to care for them!

About: I've taken care of dogs of many breeds ever since I was a little girl. I took care of feeding, exercising, and bathing our dogs for my family. I also work as a kennel tech at autumn green hospital where I take care of pets daily including bathing, feeding , playing with and giving medication. I currently work as a kennel tech, and my schedule is kind of all over the place. However, I can bring your pet to work with me after they are reviewed by my boss to make sure they pass their rabies and fecal tests. I’m available Saturday mornings until 1 PM and am free all day on Sundays! I will update this note on a month-to-month basis depending on my schedule. If I were in your home, I would let your pet warm up to me first. Then, I would make sure they have clean water and food, follow any instructions you have for me, and give them lots of cuddles and love to keep them happy.

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of friends, neighbors, and family. Outside of just my own dogs, I love dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. I’m comfortable with active walks, medication routines, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and play-style. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or a total cuddle-bug, we will both enjoy our time together. I’m detail‑oriented, patient, and committed to making every pet feel safe and genuinely loved while you’re away. I'm currently searching for a career position, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I’m home frequently and can provide consistent attention throughout the day. I care about your dogs' healthy routines, as I know they will help mine. I offer a flexible schedule, weekend availability, and reliable communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I hope you like update photos! In my home, each dog receives lots of attention. I treat every pet like they're my own, so your pet’s routine becomes my routine. I follow feeding schedules, walking habits, and comfort preferences exactly as you describe. I will send regular updates with photos and notes so you feel connected and reassured.

About: I know how important my dog's well-being and daily routine is to me, and I would love to help keep your dog in their routine! I have experience caring for and training dogs of all types, and will cater to senior dogs, medical needs, or special needs such as sensitive, selective, or reactive dogs. In my spare time I volunteer with my therapy dog Reese, and have experience fostering and training dogs using positive reinforcement. I know how hard it is to be away from your pet but I can assure a safe and successful walk, sit, or stay! I am a teacher, and currently available full time for animal care! Available on weekdays, for stop-ins during the work day, or over holiday weekends. In your home, I can offer lots of your dog's favorite exercise for every season. Depending on their activity level, we can take walks, runs, or just breaks/sniffs. I always clean up after dogs and demonstrate responsible dog ownership in your neighborhood! For stays at my house: the yard is huge, and backs to forest preserve property and pond, but the yard is unfenced so I am diligent about leashes.

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. I value the tranquility, love, & affection that animals bring. I love every animal; big or small, energetic or calm, you name it! I will take care of your pup the same way I would my own. I am currently working part-time at Enigma 5PM-10PM (Friday & Saturday nights). I also have class midday Monday-Thursday and Tuesday nights. Other than that, I have all the time in the world for your furry friends! I will go above and beyond what is asked. It’s not only walking, feeding, and watching over your pet, but also making sure they’re apart of a schedule, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I have had pets all of my life, both cats and dogs. I have worked at an animal shelter for three years where I took dogs out for daily walks, gave them enrichment and lots of love and patience. I would love to get to know your dog and find out how to give them the best days possible! I am also very prepared to clean any messes that may occur and make sure that your dog remains safe while we play. I am a part-time college student so I have a few assignments to take care of weekly. I have no other job at this time so school is my only commitment this summer. I always check to ensure that any harmful materials anywhere the animals can reach them. I regularly monitor various toys that are out and ensure that they are not being eaten and playtime is always monitored.

About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, big and small, energetic and mellow! I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like family. I also have experience with feeding routines, walks, and basic training. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for boarding, checking in, walks, daily feeds and ensuring your pup always gets quality time and attention. I’ll always follow your routines to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know every pet has their own individual personalities.

“Lizzie was great and accommodating! She was able to do a few house visits during the holidays, which can be very hard to find. My dog also gives up on all training when it’s cold outside but she made it work and provided thorough updates. I would definitely book her again.”

Justin K.

“Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!”
