Dog Walkers in Flamingo Heights, CA

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats, both young and old. I have lovingly cared for dogs with blindness, diabetes and thrombocytopenia, and my last personal cat who lived 19 beautiful years. I have two dogs at home that I walk daily. I am a licensed cosmetologist, a watercolor artist and an avid reader. I have flexible availability to care for your pets. I will care for your pet as if it were my own. I will follow all of your feeding and playtime rules and make sure you pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: I'm a mom of precious rescued pups myself and I've cared for animals for more than half of my life including volunteering my time at shelters, fostering dogs/cats until they found wonderful homes, and working with them to help socialize them with other animals. I’ve been with Rover now for 8 years and have loved working with my clients and their furry loved ones! I love and appreciate when my pet parents write out simple instructions of what their pups feeding amounts and routines are as well as anything they think I should be aware of like food allergies or sensitivities. That way I can easily keep track and no treats are given that may upset tummy. Also where they normally like to sleep when they’re at home. Knowing their routine helps me get to know them better! 🥰 I have a fully enclosed yard with a 6 foot chain link fence all the way around and there are no places to escape from our yard. We have 4 sweet dogs that will keep your pup company during their stay. You are welcome to bring a blanket or bed for your pup (at your own risk) Please don’t bring an expensive one as there’s a risk of getting chewed, torn, or peed on etc by other dogs at daycare. We have beds so you don’t have to bring one unless you would like to. This is their little vacation and we do our best to make it a great one for them 🥰🐾

“Vanessa was great! Very responsible and reliable. She walked my two dogs for two weeks without any problem, and the dogs really seemed to like her.”

About: Hey there! I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets while you're away or take them out when you're too busy. I live with my own little crew of three cats and one dog and have fostered and cared for other animals over the years. I'm located in Yucca Valley on the mesa and have experience working and volunteering with cat and dog rescue groups, including handling large breeds and recently rescued dogs. I can provide walking, pet-sitting in your home, and active play for any size dog. I'm highly responsible, attentive, and punctual, and sensitive to pets with special needs or quirks. I love getting to know individual animals and catering to their personalities and needs. Medication, special needs, senior pets ok!

“Shawna took great care of our girl! She helped us out with a huge last minute request, and we're so grateful we found her. Thank you for making our last minute trip that much easier, Shawna!”

About: As a mom and dog owner myself, I am sensitive to the needs and feelings of animals as they are just like kids. I have taken care of animals my entire life, from small dogs, big dogs, territorial dogs, horses, cats, and a bunch of other creatures. We even have our own animal CBD line on the market for dogs in pain or with ptsd. I’m active, love to walk, believe in positive reinforcement. We have a perfect yard for animals to safely play and a large home with a loving family to make your loved one feel safe when they are missing their people. My dog friends end up calling me Auntie Sal as we take them in as family. I’m currently flexible and have the ability for same day walks, last minute trips and pop ins. I can work with your schedule most days. My husband is my tag team back as well. I have two fences in yards one for running and the other for safe play. I never leave them unattended. We are happy to follow your lead on crate training if desired. We provide toys and treats if you approve. We love park walks and have 2.5 acres to explore. We have the ability to keep dogs separate from ours if needed.

About: I have a wide variety of experience. Fostering shelter animals, caring for day old baby kittens. I've had ferrets and most everything else. Except I'm not fond of snakes. Anything furry please. I'm currently working part-time. Generally in the evenings. I can come by for care anytime before 3pm and be back around if needed by 10pm most nights I have great respect for other people's area. I am considerate, clean and honor privacy. I will leave the area better then when I arrived.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for decades now. I love pets! They are truly our best friends. Making a pet under my watch comfortable and happy is my top priority. My day revolves around my dogs, waking up and taking care of them from the moment I get up to the moment I go to bed. I understand how important quality care for your pets is, with each pet demanding it’s own approach. I am an experienced dog walker and runner. I am also knowledgeable of taking care of pets in the home, from medicating pets to making sure they are safe, secure, and happy in their home.

“Elizabeth was awesome! She visited to walk and feed our 3 dogs and everything went smoothly. Each dog has their own quirks and Elizabeth took her time to make each dog feel comfortable. She left thorough notes in the app and was very communicative leading up to the visits. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I have helped professionals in the veterinary field groom and train animals. I have also been pet sitting for family and have had many pets throughout my life! I am currently a part-time student at Copper Mountain College, and work weekends at Hi-Desert Tails. I have a bit of free time as I have online classes! I will have to schedule pet care around my work, but I’m very flexible outside of that! I will be able to play with and take care of any dogs or cats, no matter the size or energy level! I can also easily crate if needed. Please let me know if there are cameras inside the home, and give written instructions so I don’t forget any details!

About: I’ve cared for dogs for the last 40 years—my own & others. I’m great with energetic dogs. Have also taken care of cats & birds & donkeys. I’m an author working on my second book, so my time is flexible. I have two dogs of my own but they don’t mind if I hang out with other animals. I have two dogs of my own—one from New York, the other a desert dog—so I understand the unique challenges of taking care of all types of dogs in this environment.

About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.

“Maddy is great! She takes such great care of my pup and will continue to use her for walks and check ins !!”

I specialize in drop-ins, walking, and occasional overnight pet care, providing attentive and personalized care for your pets. Whether it's a quick visit or a refreshing walk, your pets will be in good hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! As of right now, I am free most days during the daytime, unless stated. (Usually from 12:30pm till 3pm, then anytime after 6pm) Additionally, I sometimes bring someone from my family to accompany me (approved by you ofc). This provides better engagement for your pets and ensures there’s someone to assist if anything were to happen. At a client’s house, I prioritize creating a comfortable environment for their pets by following their routine and preferences. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, companionship, and playtime, while also respecting the home’s guidelines. Communication is key, so I’ll provide regular updates and stay attentive to their pets' needs!
