Dog Walking Del Rey Oaks

About: I’ve owned a dog ever since I was 3 years old. My wife, daughter and I love dogs, and treat our dog with the utmost love and care. You have my word that I will treat your animal with the same love and care I show for my dog. I also spend a lot of time with walking dogs at the SPCA, so I have been professionally trained and therefore have a plethora of experience with all dog personalities. I work full time in the Army but I am typically free on the weekends or early in the mornings to help out with pet care. I will always follow the rules you have laid out for your pet and ensure that your pet is taken care of to the best of my ability

“Repeat customer, great to know that Dean is reliable.”

“We love Arlene already! She came a day in advance to meet my dogs and ask about their habits. She communicates well and the dogs are already excited to see her when she arrives. I trust her to take care of my boys and would absolutely recommend her!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved them. I'm the one my friends and family always ask to watch their pups, it's something I've always loved doing. My dog Charles has been my shadow for the last 10 years, and although he much prefers the couch life, he still joins me on walks and hikes when he's up for an adventure. I'm new to the Monterey area and currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your dog. I'm available throughout the week and can easily work around what you need. Over the last several months, I've cared for my family's two dogs across several trips while they traveled. Charles gets along great with dogs of any size, he's been living happily alongside both of them and loves playing in the backyard together. I've cared for senior dogs and dogs with extra needs, from managing a specific eye care routine for vision loss to giving medication for anxiety during travel, so I'm comfortable following a detailed routine and staying attentive to how a dog's doing day to day. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! My schedule is wide open these days, so I'm flexible for morning walks, midday breaks, or afternoon adventures, whatever fits your pup's routine best. Short notice works too. Safety comes first, whether I'm out on a walk or watching your home. On walks, I always double check your dog's leash, collar, or harness before heading out to make sure everything is secure, and I stay alert to traffic, other dogs, and anything that might spook a nervous pup. For drop-ins and house sitting, I treat your home like it's my own. That means doors and gates stay locked, food and water are kept fresh and where they should be, and I leave everything exactly as I found it, plus regular updates and photos so you're never left wondering how things are going :)

“Citlali was communicative, accommodating and very easy to work with. She made the whole process easy and kept me informed the entire way. I had a hectic day and she was patient with me an made feel better knowing my dog was in good hands.”

“Marion is reliable, professional, and our pup loves spending time with her. We look forward to working with Marion again on our next trip to Monterey!”

About: There was never not a dog in my house growing up, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve taken care of everything from purebreds to mutts, and while I’ve always had a soft spot for rescues, I love all dogs equally and treat every one like family. I work primarily from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I can offer plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in a clean, quiet, pet-friendly home with my wife, who’s also a big animal lover. We don’t have kids or pets of our own, so we’re able to keep things calm and give your pet our full attention. Safety always comes first with me. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have 3 senior cats I am the sole provider for while I work from home. I am experienced with frequent walks, as well as administering oral (both physical and liquid) and subcutaneous medications. My room mate also has a 2-year old German Sheppard that I help care for. I make her homemade meals of chicken, fish, and rice as well as take on early morning walks I work part time from home and set my own schedule so I am available anytime including overnight care I especially love early morning walks when the sun is rising and it's still cool out I love spending time with all kinds of animals and can cook homemade meals for your dog I also have Youtube playlists (1 for dogs, 1 for cats) of soothing sounds like birds chirping, wind blowing, etc. to keep them calm and comfortable when their owner is away

About: I am available most hours so can be very flexible. I am healthy and can keep up with the most demanding doggies. I have experience caring for medium and small dogs. I have a fenced in yard to use, if necessary. I can also travel in the area and care for your pooch where he or she is most familiar. You will find I am very easy to work with regarding hours and workdays or weekends. I am very attentive and will ensure your doggie is well hydrated and get the appropriate amount of exercise. I am confident that any future client will be very pleased with the care and attention their pets receive from me. Thank you for any consideration and I hope you find the right match for you furry family member. My calendar is pretty wide open these days because I'm studying for my phlebotomy classes, which means your pup gets my full attention (and gives me the perfect excuse to take a study break!). Fresh air, leisurely walks, and stopping to sniff every interesting bush? That's my specialty. I'm not in a rush, so your dog can set the pace, whether they're an energetic explorer or a professional squirrel watcher. Happy dog, happy me! Before your pup and I head out on any adventures, safety always comes first. With your permission, I'll use my own AirTag attached securely to your dog's collar for an extra layer of peace of mind while we're out and about. I'll also send plenty of photo updates as often as you'd like, so you can see how much fun your furry family member is having and know they're safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from my teacup Pomeranian to my German Shepherd, as well as caring for puppies, senior pets, and cats. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means playtime and exercise, sticking to a routine, or providing extra patience and comfort. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. Im currently working part time remote, so I have time to be with your pup! From spending time at the house, walks, park time and play time. I’m available during the week and weekends I have a box of toys and brain stimulating toys, I take my dogs to the park to keep them moving and social. I have a friendly social dog that you’re baby can be with or I easily crate your If needed.

“Andrea was so kind and accommodating for our special requests and went out of her way to work with our schedule. She even made sure to bring her son so they could play together (my dogs love kids) and gave them such good love and attention that they barely missed me. She went above and beyond and was so professional, can't recommend enough!!”

About: I have shared my life with pets for as long as I can remember and have always had a deep love and respect for animals. I previously worked as a 5-star Rover pet sitter before taking time away to care for my grandfather full-time. I’m now excited to return and build my Rover profile again. As a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I’ve had the privilege of working with people and, on occasion, supporting pets alongside their owners, including animals facing serious health challenges. Those experiences have strengthened my patience, compassion, and attentiveness. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds of different ages and personalities, including senior pets. Whether it’s playtime, walks, medication, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I treat every animal with the same care and respect I would give my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will follow your routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and make sure they always have fresh food, water, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’ll provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Katt is an incredible dog walker! From the moment she arrived, my dogs were instantly comfortable with her. She was warm, attentive, smart, and asked all the right questions. She came prepared with a fantastic treat bag and a solid understanding and positive reinforcement. She handled my two energetic dogs with ease and confidence, and I immediately felt at ease knowing they were great hands. I couldn’t have been happier to find her - highly recommend just after one walk!”

About: I grew up around animals, working on my grandparents’ ranch and helping to care for horses, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs. I’ve always found working with animals to come quite naturally for me. I first began pet sitting during high school, and in recent years I’ve fostered for local rescue organizations, taking care of and helping to socialize dogs who are up for adoption. My husband and I adopted our own rescue, Leroy, in February 2020 and are so grateful we did! I work from home during the week, and enjoy breaking up my workday with nature walks. Leroy and I love spending time with other dogs, and especially enjoy taking them with us to explore our beautiful neighborhood! I tend to talk often to Leroy and the dogs I’m caring for, and treat them more like little humans. The dogs I grew up with were treated like members of the family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same kindness and respect. Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible and adaptable depending on the needs of the animal I’m caring for. As an example of my routine for my own dog, I usually take Leroy for a morning walk, a lunchtime walk, and another longer hike or beach walk in the afternoon/early evening, plus a short potty walk after dinner. Depending on whether your dog is dog-friendly or not, I can care for them together or separately. I prefer to visit for a meet-and-greet before scheduling any bookings, so that I can get to know you and your pet. I like to have an in-depth understanding of their typical daily schedule, so that I can stick to it closely during our time together. My goal is for your pet to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible, which to me means sticking to their usual routine and activities. I will follow your directions to a tee, and be in contact with updates regularly to keep you informed. If I'm house sitting or doing drop ins, I'll treat your space with the utmost care and respect. For boarding, I do my very best to make your pet feel at home here with us! Either way, your fur baby will be in goods hands.

“Carol agreed in Oct to have visits to meet our dog in preparation for Xmas trip. Our dog is really scared of strangers. It took 6-7 visits for our dog to get used to Carol. Carol was very patient with it. She was flexible working out times and was able to do some walking visits at Xmas. She contacted us with updates and questions and we felt like our dog was in good hands. We will continue to work with Carol now that our dog has another person she likes! ”

“Angie is great with my dog, Spike. She was reliable and took him on long walks which he loves. Spike has some reactive tendencies but Angie was able to work through these issues and give him a comfortable atmosphere to walk in. I am very satisfied with Angie's services and would highly recommend.”
