Dog Walkers in Carmel Valley, CA

“Hannah has been such a great walker for our dog Bones. Her rover report cards are always great to read and we know Bones loves when she comes. She is a quick responder and always on time. She is a natural animal lover! Your pets will be in good care. We highly recommend :)”

About: I have loved and taken care of animals my entire life - I believe animals are precious members of our families! They trust and love us unconditionally and it is our responsibility to ensure they are cared for as we would any other family member! My adult daughter and son-in-law are animal lovers through and through and are on hand between school and work to shower your pups with love and playtime! I work from home so am available all-day during the week for your pups with time inside and walks outside in the neighborhood and on the weekends if your pup likes we will head to the beach or longer trail walks as well. I look forward to meeting and playing with your fur baby soon! My home is available for your fur baby to come and play/rest/enjoy providing your fur baby with some company and fun and set them at ease while you are away! My adult daughter and son-in-law also live with me and are deeply involved in the care of all of our pup visitors so rest assured your pup will have lots of love and exercise (if they want 😉)!

About: I have 8yrs of pet sitting experience. Graduated with a B.S in Animal Science. I was in the veterinary industry for 7 years. Started as a kennel assistant and then was a vet assistant for 4 years in San Luis Obispo. I’ve taken care of geriatric pets, very comfortable giving medications both orally and subcutaneously (diabetic pets). I have also taken care of pets with special needs, from a partially paralyzed Cocker Spaniel to a arthritic dachshund. I do not own any cats since my sister is allergic but I love pet sitting them! When they aren’t hiding I do try to play with them and give them a lot of attention. I really miss spending time and working with animals. At the moment I am working a hybrid job for CSU Monterey Bay. When I am in the office, I am able to leave during my lunch and my boss is pretty lenient with me. I get up pretty early to get my day started and I am very home bodied. I take care pets as if they were my own. I am very attentive to their needs and always make sure they are comfortable. I make sure to communicate with owners if I do have any questions or concerns as well. I always want to provide clear communication with owners, to make sure their pets are in good hands.

“Shayne is amazing! My dog is very hesitant to leave the house without me but when she comes to get him he follows her right out the door and loves to be around her. She’s very consistent and always updating me and sending pictures. She’s also able to come every day I work and it brings so much relief to know my dog is getting sometime outside with someone he loves to be around!”

“Sonia has been working for me for over a year to take my cat outside on a little stroll & to stay an hour in the house to keep my cat company. She is very attentive, friendly, playful, & more. I want the best for my Mowgli & Sonia is the best dog walker.”

About: I have been blessed to raise a beautiful Yorkshire shih tzu mixed poodle with my siblings where we learned to nurture her from puppy to her senior years. We learned to be very gentle with our dog and give them the assistance and attention they needed to make sure they were safe and healthy and remained unharmed. I’m currently building my independent photography business, so whenever I’m not behind a camera, I want to be your furry friends best buddy whenever possible. I believe pets should be treated with the same importance that we treat ourselves. They deserve to be fed, entertained, exercised, and rewarded with lots of unconditional love.

“Valerie is wonderful! I would highly recommend her if you are in need of a dog walker”

“Paula is a very empathetic, savvy and kind person who is very responsible with both her students and animals of all types, I wouldn’t hesitate to have her take care of any of my pets.”

“Always so nice to have Amy care for our pets throughout the years. She has great energy and is always willing to spend time giving them individual attention.”

“Lauren is very responsible. She shows up on time, lets me know when she has arrived, sends me the walk report card right away. I feel totally comfortable with her in my home and taking my fur baby on walks when I am not at home. It's so great to know that your dog is getting the care and attention they need. When I get home from work I can relax and play with my dog.”

“Anne loves pets, specially dogs! she cares and gives them all the love. Her dog’s name is Lizzie and whenever they’re together, Lizzie is extremely happy. Anne is able to take good care of other dogs as well.”

About: Raised an animal lover for all species, I have been taking care of and caring for dogs and cats for 20 years. From the patience needed for a puppy's boundless energy to the pacing and accommodating for older ages and medical conditions, I customize my care to fit your family member's needs. I am available on Weekdays to walk or house-sit between 8:30AM and 9PM. Please message for any special requests and requirements to fit yours and your furry family member's needs. I care for all furry family members with the love, attention, and individualized care they require. If there is medical concerns that are rudimentary (e.g. Insulin Shots for diabetic pets), I follow doctor's orders to a T. Plenty of energy to meet your pet's boundless energy, your pets will greet you after their walk with a fulfilled day of play, ease, and cleanliness.

About: Aren't dogs the BEST?!? We have always had active dogs in our home. Since retiring from 38 years of teaching, I have worked and volunteered taking care of pets, most recently at Animal Hospital of the Crossroads. I am experienced with puppies and senior citizens, and I am comfortable with both little guys and big active dogs. I would love to care for your special pet. I am currently retired with a 2 year old McNab named Mae. I love working with dogs and have time to spend with yours as well. I can come to you to pick up your pet, or you can drop them off either at my home or at another more convenient spot.

“I was gone for a week and really needed help tiring out my 1 year old high energy aussie in the mornings so she wouldn’t go crazy and destroy the place ? Yarira did a great job! My roommate even told me she was still tired by the time evening came around!”

“Carol was great with our pup, she took him for a fun walk while we met up with family for brunch. He came back happy and tired out. I would definitely recommend Carol, she connected immediately with our guy.”

“Carol was fantastic! She was responsive to my request for a dog walker and was great in communicating with me before, during and after. We were on vacation staying at a hotel with our dog. Carol’s dog walking service enabled us to have two daytime outings without worrying about him. Thanks, Carol!”

“I've known Erin for my entire life and can tell you with utmost confidence that she is an animal guru. Growing up across the street from each other, her family always had at least 4 big dogs, 4 guinea pigs, 2 bunnies, 2 cats etc living in the same house. From a young age, I would be impressed with how naturally she knew how to take care of each pet's different needs. Animals immediately trust her because they can probably sense that she knows what she's doing and has spent her life surrounded by animals. Of all my friends, she was the one I was certain was going to grow up to be a vet or work in the humane society. Through the years, I've watched her save animals, have instinct for their needs, and prioritize spending quality playtime with animals in such an impressive and loving way. Look no further, because Erin has an insane amount of experience with every animal and will quickly understand your pet's language the second she meets them.”

About: I’ve dog & cat sat for my friends & neighbors for the last 11 years. I am comfortable with running, feeding, bathing, and playing with dogs and cats of all sizes! I used to foster animals for the Humane Society as well! I typically am a homebody, besides going to the gym or getting some form of exercise in! I work a hybrid, so my availability is consistent, but varies! I have a few trails and parks near my house! I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood as well! I live an active lifestyle and am willing to snuggle!

About: I’ve been with dogs my whole life.I give them massages as well as take them to the park,walks and rivers to swim. At the park we can play with your dogs toys as well as go exploring and relax. I’m currently working part time so majority of the time I have off. It’s more like a side job that I can have fun in and also be responsible for. I have a spacious fenced yard and plenty of shade for your friend. We have a deck as well. Their is a park and river near by so we can go on walks and play. I have a blanket as well for your friend.

About: Ever since I was little, I have always loved taking care of animals. I can't remember a single day of my life with no animals in my house. As I grew up, I've had over 6 dogs, in which were all rescues. All including bulldogs, Australian Shepards, and an Australian cattle dog. Thats not counting the ones I have spotted on the side of the road and have taking under my wing for a night or two. I've taken care of dogs as young as 6 months old to as old as they can get. I also have had cats my entire life. I grew up taking care and nursing kittens back to health as well as assisted with queening (cat giving birth). I've also dealt with and am dealing with the rowdy, awkward, chaotic stage of the teenage 8-month-old cats. Definitely feel like banging my head on the wall a few times with those guys. I have experience house sitting with multiple animals in the same residence. Some including two cats and two dogs to my most recent one with two cats and a 16-year-old lab. Not only have I taken care of cats and dogs, but I also have taken care of horses, guinea pigs, and fish. I am currently working part-time (weekends) and go to community college online, so I have plenty of time to take your furry friends for a stroll. I love going on walks around the neighborhood. I also love hiking so if you want, they can always tag along. I even have a cat backpacks and harnesses too! I have a fenced in yard and have two friend furry pups to keep your animal's company. Both are dog friendly and cat friendly as they both grew up with seeing many different faces. If needed I can also crate your animal as well. In my house dogs are allowed onto the beds and couch's but if that's a problem please let me know beforehand. If in your house there is any rule regarding certain places they can and can't go, please do inform me.I also will only take care of one client at a time so they have my full attention.
