About: I've taken care of two of my childhood dogs I had, Rottweiler breed.As well for my Belgian Shepard named Lola and my bunny named mochii. Im currently a college student and have a part time job as well so I can absolutely care for your fur babies in between my schedule or my spare time. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority. I double check collars and harnesses before every walk and keep dogs securely leashed unless instructed otherwise. I avoid high-traffic areas and unsafe environments and always adjust walks based on weather conditions.

“Great job.”

About: I've grown up and taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. From family to friends I've been able to watch, walk, play, take care, and feed everyone's pets. I have my own dog named Dexter who is a 5 year old Dachsund mix. He was rescued from a breeder/hoarder house in Riverside and in the beginning he was very anxious, shy, timid, and afraid of people. Now my boy is happy, enjoys cuddling, and is able to be around people that love and care about him. I'm currently waiting on training for a full time job in July so right now my schedule is open from Monday to Saturday. Besides caring for my own dog who is super friendly with other dogs my schedule is open at the moment and will work with people's schedule to give their dog the care and attention they deserve. I currently live in an apartment with a patio and in the back is a grass yard for everyone to share. I always make sure my dog has his walks everyday and sometimes I'll take him to the dog park which he loves. Give him his breakfast and dinner as scheduled. Clean his ears as well as bathe him when its needed. Along with making sure he takes his vitamins each day. For other dogs I would do as requested walk, feed, play, and give them attention or space if needed.

“Amazing dog walker, very attentive and knowledgeable when dealing with puppy high energy dogs. Our dog automatically like him. He also helped with any questions we had.”

“We have two standard poodles, with one of them being a bit rowdy. Olivia has done a great job working around our schedule and handling our two big dogs on walks!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, including German Shepherds and Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have had two of my own and taken care of them their whole life, from long walks at the park, beach’s, bathing, vet appointments, grooming and playing with them until we’re both tired. I had my first dog until he was 12 and unfortunately passed due to cancer and had to take care of him while he was going through it. I work part time mostly at nights so I’m available to walk dogs during the morning and day time. I’m available on weekends and during the weekdays as well When I had my own two dogs I would make sure that they were kept safe in the backyard as well as inside and that they always had plenty of food and water and toys to play around and had fun.

“Julio is great with dogs, as soon as my pitt saw him he liked him and that put me at ease since I will be traveling for a week. He made me feel very comfortable and my dog, I don't think I could've find a better person for this job!”

About: Hello!! My name is Karen and I have been caring for dogs, bunnies & cats since I was young. My very first gift from my parents was an 8 pound chihuahua and she became my top priority. She was with me for 18 sweet years. Later I was blessed to care for three beautiful bunnies for 14 years, I have also been a dog mom to the most beautiful boy that I adopted & his name was kodama. I shared 9 wonderful years with him and 2 years ago he passed and it’s been my greatest loss. I now have only one cat that has me wrapped around his paw☺️. I am passionate about the care of every little soul that I can share a memory with. My priority will always be the pet that I am trusted with. I am currently running a pet essentials online store & am absolutely passionate about animals & their care. I’m reachable at any time so feel free to connect at your convenience! I am currently not able to offer services in my home, but I am offering overnight pet sitting that would take place at clients home. The pet and myself will stay in designated areas, I am mindful of their presence and stay vigilant on knowing what they are up to at all times, even if I might be on my computer or cleaning up etc, they know they’re the star of the show.

About: Hello, I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so understanding their behavior, needs, and personalities comes naturally to me. Beyond that, I’ve volunteered in pet shelters, where I’ve cared for dogs with a wide range of temperaments from energetic puppies to shy or anxious rescues so I know how to build their trust I’m also trained in dog walking, which means I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and positive reinforcement techniques on every walk. I’m especially comfortable working with puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra care, or medication awareness. Above all, I treat every dog like my own making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, because we all know that’s the hardest part Hello I’m currently trying to go back to school for my masters. So overall my weeks and weekends are available to take care of your pups as long as I can take a few hours to get some studying in. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure while you’re away. That means feeding on schedule, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m mindful of keeping their environment clean and calm, and I always respect your home as if it were my own. I will also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands. I just want the pups to feel comfortable and loved so they have the best experience.

“Thank you Andrew! Harley didn’t behave so well on his walk but Andrew was very quick to call me and find a resolution. I appreciate his fast response and good attitude even though the walk got cut short.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have three of my own, but I’ve also helped take care of so many others, from family, friends, and even the seniors I’ve worked with and their pets. Dogs bring me so much joy, and I honestly treat every one like they’re mine. Whether they’re playful or shy, young or old, I give them all the love, patience, and attention they need.

My schedule is super flexible this summer, so I’m available during the week, weekends, and even for long days or last-minute needs. Whatever works best for you, I’ll do my best to make it happen. I’m so excited to fill my days with tail wags, playtime, and lots of love! At my home, your pup will have plenty of space to play and feel comfortable. I have a great backyard that’s perfect for running around, and I’m just a mile away from two parks that I’m always happy to visit if your dog loves getting out for walks and fresh air. I also have three very playful, friendly dogs who absolutely love having company. But if your dog prefers their own space, no worries, my dogs are happy to relax while your pup has the spotlight. I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home.
