Dog Walking Carmel Valley

“Debbie is absolutely a gem! She was so open to walking Cuzco for me, he felt comfortable with her. She kept up in communication with me while I was away. She went above and beyond for him, and I’m so grateful!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats long before I ever had any of my own! In terms of cats, I never owned any, but I was always around cats and foster kittens at others' houses, and love them! I've had my own dog for over 12 years, and I also spend much of my time taking care of larger and elderly dogs (with physical issues) of my relatives. Due to this, I also have experience with walking 1-3 dogs at a time. I love to pick up the speed of a walk, but I can also be patient and cater towards the needs of injured or elderly dogs. I am a senior at Santa Clara University and have a lot more time on my hands over the next few months. My weekends are generally free and I have a lot of free pockets of time during the week. I plan to offer both walking services and sitting services, in the comfort of the pet's own home. Therefore, I will abide by the rules and desires of the pet's owner, and the of pet of course:)

“Chunli is marvelous! Our dog would sit anxiously by the door waiting for her to arrive, and was absolutely ecstatic when she saw Chunli. Chunli was punctual and reliable. She communicates extremely well through the Rover app. In person she communicates well, and she is friendly and personable. She sometimes uses a translation app to make sure there's a complete understanding. Thank you Chunli!”

“This is our first time using Natalyia. We are so happy with her service. She walked our golden retriever, I was so surprised our golden really enjoyed his walks with her. He is a very anxious dog and it takes a lot to calm him . However we were surprised how quickly he got adjusted with her and was looking forward to his walks each and every time. Natalyia is very calm, patient and completely remove all his anxiety and fears.”

About: I grew up with german shepards and currently have 2 cats, Harry and Luna. I walked dogs for 7 years in Chicago and I have experience with all temperaments. Oh and animals tend to trust me quickly. Let’s chat! I have open availability Monday and Tuesday and from 3-9pm every other day. I am a fast communicator, so feel free to reach out and see if we can find a time that works. I can meet your dog’s needs. I have worked with many breeds and behavior types throughout my years walking dogs. I have a soft spot for quirky animals

“Funny coincidence, I actually went to school with Steve years ago — great to reconnect here and even better to see how dedicated he is to caring for my Standard Poddle! Steve is punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. Definitely recommend Steve.”

About: What sets me apart is real, hands-on experience, not just good intentions. I raised and trained my own dog from 8 weeks old, so I understand puppy behavior, training fundamentals, and how to build trust with a young or nervous dog from day one. I'm comfortable with all sizes, from tiny breeds to big dogs who need extra exercise and structure. I've also pet sat for countless friends since I was a teenager, so I know that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pup needs an experienced hand with training reinforcement, extra patience, or just a loving, attentive presence while you're away, I treat every pet like my own. I currently have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I'm not tied to a rigid 9-to-5, so I'm able to offer flexible availability throughout the week — including midday visits, walks, and drop-ins that a lot of full-time sitters can't accommodate. Whether it's a regular weekly routine or last-minute coverage, I have the bandwidth to be reliable and consistent, which I know matters most to pet parents. In my home, your pet will have plenty of space to relax and play — I have a dog-friendly 1,200 square foot apartment, and a trail nearby for walks and exercise. My own dog is incredibly social and loves playing with other dogs, so if your pup enjoys company, they'll have a built-in playmate during their stay. I treat every pet like a member of the household — consistent feeding schedules, plenty of attention, and enough space to settle in and feel comfortable rather than confined. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible — same feeding times, same walk schedule, same little habits they're used to. I want pets to feel like nothing has changed just because their owner is away, and I always treat their home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own.

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of dogs of all sizes for neighbors, family and friends. I can help with feeding, walks, baths, brushing, dental care, etc. I have a hybrid work schedule, so I can take care of your dogs on the weekends and for shorter periods during the week. I'm happy to discuss with you how much care and play time you would like each day for your pups! I have experience working with anxious dogs and puppies. I want your pups to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Please let me know if you have any specific requests for your dogs' comfort and safety.

“10 Stars! Very commutative and super flexible adjust to my needs. Superstar animal lover!”

About: 🔔 Owners, please read entire profile, as it contains very important information about what to expect, guidelines and requirements for your dogs stay! ***Drop off and Pick up windows must be no longer than 30 minutes*** I spent 10 years managing a large property in the Rancho Santa Fe area that had multiple breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. As part of my many managerial duties I oversaw the personal care, vet appointments and individual schedules of all of these beloved family pets. They were all an absolute joy and I’m happy to be able to offer the same level of care to your furry family members as well. ✔️New to Rover? Enjoy $20 off of your first stay! Just use code RUDAV63279 at checkout.👌🏼 I work from home, so pet care can very easily integrate into my current schedule. I regularly step away from my computer to take breaks, so taking a furry friend out for a walk is an added bonus! I will host up to 2 pets a night, I have separate gated areas in my home to ensure food schedules are calm and peaceful while keeping everyone happy as they’re being slowly integrated with one another, everyone is safe and secure at all times. All pets cared for must be potty trained, spayed/neutered, have absolutely no aggression issues towards other animals or people, are not constant barkers or cry and bark due to separation anxiety. ***Aggression issues and separation anxiety of any kind are non-negotiable.*** If your pet has any level of this type of behavior, it’s not the right fit for my home. It’s very important to maintain a calm, peaceful and safe environment for everyone sharing the space. For overnight boarding, pets will sleep downstairs in the main living room area on their own bed/crate, pets will not be permitted to be on furniture or in the upstairs bedroom areas. VERY IMPORTANT: Also, please make sure that all personal care, vet and emergency contact info is up to date on your pets profile as well. Vet and Emergency contact info are required before I will accept a booking.

“Brittney to the rescue! She was super accommodating to us being first time Rovers. She communicates very thoroughly and thoughtfully. Our little doggo was super happy to have her come take him for a quick walk, pee, & poop. Thank Brittney for taking care of our pets so well. We can tell you really love animals of all types.”

About: I've been a dog owner myself for many years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. As an active UCSD student-athlete, I love spending time outdoors and can provide dogs with plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm responsible, dependable, and experienced in providing attentive care through both my personal experience as a dog owner and my customer service background. I'm comfortable following specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I’m an early riser and already spend a lot of time staying active, so I’m available for morning, afternoon, and early evening walks depending on my class and training schedule. I’m especially available on weekends and can be flexible during breaks or lighter academic weeks. I’m very organized and will make sure I can reliably commit to any walks or visits I agree to, so pet care fits in smoothly with my routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and following all owner instructions closely. I ensure pets are securely leashed, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to each animal’s needs and behavior. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up with six cats and two dogs, so I learned early how to read body language, respect boundaries, and adapt to different temperaments. I'm just as comfortable tiring out a high energy pup on a long beach walk as I am giving a shy cat the quiet, patient presence they need. I'm experienced with feeding routines, administering medications, and caring for multiple pets at once. You'll always get updates and photos, because I know peace of mind matters as much as great care. I’m active and love getting outside for long walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I’m just as happy providing a calm, cozy presence for cats or more relaxed pets. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets, following feeding routines, and handling medications if needed. I take pride in being dependable and communicative, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved the entire time you’re gone. I work full-time during the day and am available after 5 PM on weekdays, with flexible weekend availability. I genuinely enjoy staying active, so fitting walks and visits into my routine is a pleasure, not an obligation. I care for pets in their own homes, following your routines closely so everything feels familiar. I live near the beach in a very walkable neighborhood, no yard, but plenty of sniff-heavy, stimulating walks tailored to your dog's energy level. I treat every home with the same respect I'd want in mine: doors locked, counters wiped, and your pet settled and content when you return. I have experience dog sitting and walking, and I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean and consistent so owners can feel completely at ease.

About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.

“If my dog ever needs an emergency portrait — for his poker membership, or his inevitable run for office — Alex is who I'm calling. Also comes with a walk!”

“Hanna has been an excellent communicator, punctual, and above all amazing with our dog. Our dog is a bit territorial but he took right to Hanna upon meeting her. I appreciated her notes and updates and have already asked her to be our new regular!”

Kerri A.

“So kind and accommodating! My poor guy was limping and had been stung by a bee and she went and checked on him for me while I had to go into work quickly before taking him to the vet. She sat with him and gave him lots of love and was so nice. Would definitely use her again!!”

Lindsay A.

“My dog is always so happy and wiped after these walks! Also they provide amazing pictures to show how much fun was had. They seem to really emphasize having fun with my dog.”

About: I have special skills in senior care and animals who need special care post surgery. I have about 3 dogs and 1 cat who are all seniors. The first dog I adopted millie was on the older side and as the years gone by I have learned and educated myself on how to properly care for senior dogs, and the most important thing I have learned is patience is key. My oldest dog millie also had multiple surgeries due to cancerous tumor that spread. Thankfully she is fine but after many surgeries I have learned the skills on how to properly take care of dogs post surgery. I also have lots of experience with kittens from my time volunteer at a feline rescue. I am a UCLA student who does this work during my summer break. I am available from beginning of june-end of september. I will also be working a job that are about 5.30 hours each shift 4 days a week. Depending on exactly what day of the week you need I can work around your schedule. My other summer job is very flexible however my shifts are usually at night. Depending on what you need I can be very flexible so we can also talk more in detail. I do not offer services for pets to stay at my home however I do travel to my clients homes. When taking care of my clients pets I make sure to prioritize safety, routine, be attentive, and cleanliness. I also make sure that all animals receive their walks and all physical activity required.

“Alexa is our favorite! She is the only walker that can get my dog to walk more than around the building! He is always happy and tired.”
