About
Hello, fellow pet parents! My name is Don. My wife, Kristi, and I have hands-on experience in many aspects of pet care through her work with 'Kristi's Pet Care'. I provide reliable dog walking for all sizes — from small to extra large — as well as safe pet transport and thorough waste removal. Whether your pup needs daily walks, a ride to the groomer or vet, or help keeping your yard clean, I’m here to make life easier for you and your pets. Pets are our life, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Send me a message to talk about your pet’s needs and schedule.

Don was great. With family out of town and myself having surgery I couldn’t walk our foster dog. Don was fabulous and his wife took video and photos. I felt happy and comfortable with Don. He is a friendly, professional and easy person to get along with. Our dog responded to him very well. So glad I found him.

Details: 1 dog • 1 - 2 years old • Extra large (70+ lbs) • 45 minutes • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

I highly recommend I dog walker! They take excellent care of my two Great Danes, Bly and Hank. Every walk is reliable, and they handle these big dogs with confidence and genuine care. On top of that, he always take care of the poop duty without complaint—such a huge help. Bly and Hank come back happy and tired, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Also tells me about any concerns. He has about consistency of waste and if they have trouble walking. Plus I get pictures…Truly wonderful service!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We could not be more thankful for Don. He takes such good care of our Dog and his communication is great. He tells us when he’s on his way, when he arrives and how the walk went. We received no less than three pictures every time he walks our dog. He is caring, considerate and very conscientious. We could not ask for a better, Dog Walker!

Details: 1 dog • 10 years or older • Extra Small (1 - 15 lbs) • 15 minutes • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

So glad I found Don and his wife Kristi! I am a travel nurse and found them through an internet search. They were a pleasure to talk with on the phone and by text, and when me and my pup arrived in town and met up for a meet and greet, I felt they would be a great fit. It’s apparent Don is pursuing this line of work on top of his regular job for the right reasons - likes helping people and has a love for our furry friends. Impressed that he is doing the course work to become a dog trainer. Great communication, pup safe, exercised and happy - what more could a dog mom ask for? Thanks Don! Jellybean is looking forward to her walks with you while we spend the winter in the Sacramento area.

Don is dependable and on time with a good attitude. He makes extra effort not to push my senior citizen dog too hard but to let him move at his pace. I'm happy to recommend him.

Details: 1 dog • 10 years or older • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.
