Downey Dog Walkers

Throughout the early years of my life, when my children were growing up, we lived in the Alaskan bush & in the mountains of Northern New Mexico with our own sled dogs & a menagerie of pets as well, including (but not limited to) cats, goats, rabbits & the like, due to our desire to get back to a more natural life-style. For 2 years of my life I helped my daughter found her Animal Rescue in Texas called Apollo Support & Rescue. I worked taking care of between 20 and 25 dogs every day from 7 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. 7 days a week. This involved keeping beds & kennels clean & supplied with fresh water. I fed them twice a day, gave them their meds and vitamins & made sure they each got yard time, play time, house time & walking. We bathed them & took them to Adoption events every weekend & tried to find each his/her forever home. Anytime a dog didn't work out or their adoptive parents changed their minds for any reason we took them back & tried our best to re-homed them - no questions asked. We also helped raise money for food, medical, transportation & housing for families in need. I adopted a Dogo Argentino - Bull Terrier mix myself & brought him back to California with me. We have since adopted another abandoned dog who's an American Stafordshire Terrier aka a "pit-bull". both of them are our spoiled fur babies now.

I've been walking dogs for 6 yrs. absolutely love it. Dog and cat lover all my life and have grown up with both. Have walked a German Shepherd 80+ lbs as well as medium and small dogs.

Worked with race horses for 20 years, grooming, jogging, bathing, feeding, shipping them to different race tracks. Went to school to become a LVT. Worked with small animals, in hospitals, ASPCA animal control, assistant to the Vet on shift. Cleaned, feed, walked, took care of the animals daily needs.

Worked at Helen Keller's for the blind in N. Y. in the senior room. Taught ADL Skills, monitor behavior's and applied behavior as needed. Went out on outings, i. e. Bide awee to take a few clients to walk dogs, once a week. walk around the outside of the facilities, teaching monies skills Some clients where deaf and blind, while others had multiple disabilities, they all were senior's . Therefore we have to wait for some who needed more assistance with walking. Enjoyed the time with the senior's. Went to lunch in a restaurant setting once a month. Always ensured their safety, making sure nobody elope when on an outing. Also worked with special needs senior's, keeping them focused while doing the task put before them. Insuring that they didn't get hurt or anybody else during a behavioral issue. Applied behavioral therapy when warranted. also rewarded with positive reinforcements and high fives.

In the past, I worked very little, more or less. In a sense, I did get work for pet sitting or the occasional last minute call for a babysitter, but only from a few strangers outside of my family. I've worked with small, medium and large breeds of dogs; and most of the sizes of cat breeds, though they've become quite large. My abilities are ranged because I'm easily adaptable to situations. The dog needs a bath, or the animal needs a walk, maybe he or she is hungry or needs a drink of water. Bottom line is I can handle it. Now if there is medication to be given in a pre-measured syringe shaped tube, I can do that. I have had plenty of experience with my own cats and dog. I will will answer any questions you have for me in truth, so ask away. I'm also going to school to become a vet technician.

First, I'd like to state my love for dogs! (I love all animals, but dogs are special to me). I have 3 dogs of my own that I care for (bathe, walk, feed) and I have a great time with them! I would love to care for any pet that needs it. I can walk your dog(s), bathe them, feed them, or just keep them company. I have a few years experience professionally speaking, however, I've been caring for my own doggies for more than 8+ years now, with a few unpaid sitting jobs here and there. I'm a very honest person, and would not trust anyone else with my own dogs so I figured I should help out other families with pet care. I am available evenings and weekends are free so overnight care is no problem. I have a spacious home should anyone feel better dropping off their pups with me instead of me being in their home. Pay is always negotiable, I don't want people with real care needs to miss out on my services because of pay, so we can always work something out. Look forward to caring for your pets!

I provide professional animal care including dog walking and pet sitting. I am currently a vet tech and student at PCC. I have been a vet tech for six years and have my own personal dogs and cats. I love all dogs and cats.

I have pets of my own. I have two golden retrievers and one Puggle. I have taken care of my family member pets for 6 years. I have taken care of parrots, parakeets, cockatoos, bunnies, cats, and dogs. I would love to take care of your pet or walk your dog anytime.

Hello, my name is Michelle and I have experience in dog walking. I used to have a dog that lived up to 15 years of age! I walked her everyday and I took very good care of her. I know what it's like to have a pet that you love. You can trust me because I know what it's like to be a dog owner. I care about your dog, therefore I'd treat it like it's my own!

I've walked mainly larger to mid sized dogs including: husky, golden retriever/chow mix, pit bull, french bulldog, beagle/hound mixed dogs. My job would include a 45+minute walk around the neighborhood of the customer. Providing the dogs with fresh water and food if necessary. Occasionally grooming of dog if needed. I enjoy spending time around animals and caring for them. I have also taken care of cats as well, feeding and providing fresh water for them. I am willing to negotiate terms of pet care service if any additional requirements are necessary.
