Dog Walking in Arcadia

“We love Andrea! She offered to do a meet and greet before we booked her. She is EXTREMELY punctual, caring, and sweet. More so, our sweet boy Beckham loves walking with her. He always waits for her by the staircase waiting! Thank you Andrea! We are so grateful for you!”

“Honestly one of the greatest dog walkers and dog caretaker ever! Melanie is super responsible and very gentle! My puppy is always scared of new people but Melanie really took the time to recognize what our puppy needed and became best friends with our puppy! Melanie is always on time and super diligent about leaving everything where it belongs like our keys, treats, leash and harness. Melanie is very respectful and we and our puppy will always choose her as our dog walker/caretaker!! Thank you Melanie!”

“Longlong is super responsive, reliable and great with Olive”

“Delia is great with our large/giant dog and helped us with some ideas to improve obedience and overall behavior. Recommend Delia to everyone!”

“I cannot recommend Amy enough! She has been walking my dog, Tamale, for the past few weeks, and every single experience has been fantastic. Tamale is a wildcard and can be picky with new people, but Amy was patient, kind, and quickly earned his trust. Amy is always punctual, professional, and provides updates after every walk, including pictures and details about their adventures. She genuinely cares about Tamale's well-being and treats him like her own. I feel completely at ease knowing Tamale is in such great hands. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and wonderful dog walker, Amy is absolutely the best choice! Tamale and I are so lucky to have found her!”

“We have been fortunate to have Vicky care for our pets. We had an elderly dog that needed numerous walks throughout the day. Vicky was very responsive to our dog's needs and cheerfully walked her as much as needed. We have added an energetic golden doodle to our family. We needed a pet sitter for her while staying at a hotel in Vicky's area. Vicky gladly came to the hotel to dog sit!. She played with our puppy and made sure she got out for walks. The proof is in the puppy.... when our dog sees Vicky, the tail wags and enthusiasm abounds. I think she is saying: " Here is Vicky, my best friend!...."”

“My dog, Baxter, is such a “Velcro dog” that he doesn’t like to walk with anyone but me. This makes it challenging when I go out of town. But Sonia came to my rescue! She was patient, loving and kind a managed to coax Baxter into walking. She did a great job. Highly recommended!”

About: From day one I've been a dog person. My German Shepherd was my best friend as a kid and the cycle only repeated when I got my Shepherd/Husky mix when I was a preteen. I've always had dogs and it was always my job to train them make sure they were well behaved. The Pittbull I had as a teenager was the most well behaved dog anyone ever saw and that's because I put in the time and work to make sure she was a decent member of society. I'm good with dogs, I've been around an eclectic amount of dogs my whole life. From Great Danes and English Mastiffs, to mutts and mixed breeds. I trust myself to know how to handle any dog and know when a situation is dangerous or unsettling. I keep a level head and know how to read the room when it comes to dogs. I recently lost my dog of 15 years. I'm working part time right now and am not in a good financial place to adopt a pet, but I still miss the routine of pet care. I won't be adopting a new dog any time soon until I'm more comfortable with my finances, but I miss being around dogs. So dog walking seems like the best fit since I have time and am flexible with my work schedule. I've pet sat for friends and family quite a few times and it's always been easiest to pet sit in the pets home. They are usually more comfortable and get to stick to a routine they know.

“Jack and his family along with their lovely dog is very detail oriented and friendly to work with. They took great care of my dog and stayed beyond the booked hours to play with my dogs. Will definitely work with Jack again if I need someone to take care of my dogs again.”

“Meagan was great with our active young dog”

“Ai is fantastic! He is attentive and detailed as he prepares for his first visit with a pet. Ai took copious notes and listened to all of our senior dog issues. He was patient and gentle with our fur kid. Ai is very easy to talk to, quick with communication, and was punctual. We knew our dog and home were in good hands during Ai's visit. We really appreciate how gentle he was with our senior dog. The pictures and report were delivered on time, our dog was smiling and happy. We're happy to have met Ai!”

“Sam was an amazing caregiver to my little chihuahua Rudy! He was so gentle and patient with my senior dog, attending to every need while I was gone. He sent me frequent updates so I wouldn’t have to worry and this really helped to ease my anxiety about leaving Rudy at home. I can’t recommend him enough! He’ll take great care of your pet!”

About: Have experience mainly with bully breed type dogs 100lbs & under as well as cats, lizards, & fish. My experiences have been mainly with rescues. I have helped find loving homes for dogs as well as caring for and rehoming cats. Everyday is a learning experience and enjoy creating bonds with new fur friends! I currently have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted with reasonable scheduling and communication (usually a week advanced notice is preferred). I typically make time to walk my pets in the early mornings/late afternoons/nights and allow the dogs to roam the yard or come relax inside as they please and depending on weather conditions. I would prefer to have pets (especially dogs) to become familiar with me first before we consider boarding them with me. I can accommodate inhouse crate/private room or outdoor crate/private gated kennel for housing.

“I’m thankful to Rudy for stepping in to help with Annie. He is very sweet to her and experienced with dogs of her temperament. Looking forward to working with Rudy regularly.”

“She is very observant and takes good care of the dogs! Very responsible as well. We would be happy to use her service on regular basis.”

“Joy and I are neighbors. I have a six-year-old dog, Jasper, I can’t take him for a walk because the company works overtime sometimes. Joy is happy to help me take Jasper for a walk and even take him home until I get off work at night. Jasper doesn't like strangers, he is very defensive, Joy always has a way to make these dogs like her...Joy even set up an exclusive bed for Jasper at her house When I heard that she wanted to join Rover, I thought she was very suitable because she loves dogs so much and is willing to be patient with every doggie.”

“I had an emergency ask for help and David stepped up. My family had to leave town for a few days and I had no one to watch our ailing, 15 year old Shepherd mix and our 10 year old Terrier. David took care of both of them like they were his own. He's a nice, gentle guy and if we ever need him again we know who to call.”

About: I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, from tiny terriers to giant Great Danes. My personal doggo, a Doberman, has completed obedience training, showcasing my ability to manage and train even the most energetic and strong-willed breeds. I also have experience with extended stays and can provide long-term care for your dogs while you're on vacation or away for an extended period. Every dog is unique, and I try my best to provide personalized care for each one! I work from home, which allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for your pet. My flexible schedule means I can provide consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. Whether it's regular walks, playtime, or simply being there to offer comfort and attention, I can seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. This flexibility ensures that your pup receives the attention and care they deserve, making their time away from you as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly environment by removing any potential hazards and providing a secure space for your pet to explore and play.

“Alex is a great caregiver. I’ve gone on vacation many, many times and he’s watched my cat Flynn each time. He’s done a great job. Flynn has some specific food needs due to bladder issues (he only eats wet food, his food needs to be replaced daily, and he has a slightly complicated automatic feeder) and also has a non traditional litter box. Alex is always able to help with Flynn’s needs! Flynn is also extremely shy but Alex is kind and patient and Flynn eventually warms up to him. Overall, I highly recommend Alex. He’ll take care of your pet and will genuinely care about their well-being. He’s an excellent choice!”

“Briana has been helping with our pups for a couple of weeks and the dogs look forward to their morning time with her! I have a large size dog that requires a firm handler and briana was willing to work with me to insure he walks as he is trained. She is also very willing and patient to work around my ever changing schedules. We are very grateful for Briana!”
