Dog Walking in Fortuna Foothills

“Gary is fantastic! He took my dog on daily walks and cared for my cats when I would go out of town, and he took such excellent care of all of them. He also was willing to be flexible and work with me through all of my many schedule changes due to work. It was such a relief to know that I had someone I could count on to care for my pets like they were his own.”

“Very communicative and easy to work with !”

About: I have taken care of three separate dogs of my own in my lifetime. I trained one since he was a puppy! I have a large fenced in yard and two lovable doggie companions to keep yours company, feeling welcome and give plenty of cuddles! I do have some dogs toys that can be used outside alongside large size dog crate if needed! I’m currently working nights, but am home from 4am-3pm Sunday-Thursday! I am able to host pets as well, especially on my days off Friday & Saturday nights! I do have a roommate who is home while I am at work if that was needed for an overnight visit! I have a litter box and another cat with a separate room I am able to keep them in if it’s needed! I also have cat toys and scratching posts, so that’s no issue!

About: I’m experienced with caring for puppies & older dogs and have trained them in basic commands, I handle every dog with kindness, love & respect 💕 I plan my day very well around the dogs or cats that I care for. So that they are always my top priority throughout my day. I make sure that their needs are met throughout the day. Exercise & play is important to me for pets and lots of loving attention. Keeping them all safe from anything that could harm them. I am always looking and watching to make sure they are safe and comfortable.

About: I no longer do last minute bookings. I do meet and greets at the park. I will observe your dog and also how you interact with your dog. Starting 2025, I will be taking time off for my birthday, my husband’s birthday, Valentine’s Day (and weekend), the second day of the county fair and the last 3 weeks of December and the first 2 weeks of January. This includes Christmas and New Year’s. Please check my calendar for availability. Unexpected life events or situations may arise. Thank you for your understanding .🙏🏼😊🥰❤️ I am not a trainer but I will give your dogs all the love and attention as if they were mine ❤️. You can read my reviews to find out what my clients think of my services. Please also look at the pictures so can get an idea of what your dog will experience at my house. If you decide to go with a different sitter, I hope this information helps you. I encourage you to take the time to get to know your sitter, do a meet and greet, schedule a day of daycare or a night of boarding to see how your sitter interacts with your dog during the booking. There has only been one Rover sitter that has met my expectations (for boarding). She doesn’t live in Yuma. Whenever I have an emergency, I have to travel 5 hours to take my dogs to her. It is worth the drive. I only accept puppies that have all their shots. I let all dogs roam freely around the house. If your dog is not potty trained or urinates out of anxiety, I will provide diapers. All dogs need to be picked up before 8pm (I rarely make exceptions depending on the situation). I wake up early and work hard all day with the fur babies so please respect my time. Please read all details. If you are new to Rover, you save $20 with promocode: LAIZAG47087 The following description is to help those who are new to Rover. Boarding-over night stay at my house Day Care-8 to 12 hours Home drop-in visits(does not include a walk)- 30 min to an hour visit to check on dog(s), administer medication, play with them, give them affection and make sure they have food and clean water. I highly recommend one hour so I can spend enough time with your dog(s) and prevent them from getting anxious. I will not book any adult dog that is expected to hold their pee for more that 8 hours during the day and for more than 12 hours at night. For puppies, my policy is not more than 4 hour during the day and not more than 7 hours at night. Your dog’s comfort is my priority. Walks -30 minutes to an hour walk (I highly recommend an hour walk if your dog is alone most of the day). This will prevent them from getting anxious. *The total cost of service includes a one time Rover fee (that money goes to Rover). *Rover takes 20% percentage of my pay. *Extended stay fee is automatically added if you drop off and pick up time are not the same (I receive 50% of that fee). This is to compensate sitters for their extra time. *Please do not send me your phone number or ask me for my personal number in an attempt to make a deal outside Rover. Rover can track the conversion. I think is important to have our meet and greet first. My rates will probably not change. I will not book anyone who is hostile, aggressive, acts entitled or doesn’t respect my time. *once you send me a booking request, I will set up a meet and greet. The meet and greet is to decide if we are a good fit for each other. Meeting is NEVER more than 20 minutes. I respect your time, please respect mine. *if everything goes well at meet and greet, we can both accept booking. Rover will ask you to enter you credit card information to process your payment. The booking becomes official once the payment goes through. Some client find it helpful to bring their dog to day care before actually boarding their dog. This will help your dog become more familiar with me and our home. This also reduces the level of anxiety. It gives me us an opportunity to get to know each other. For large breeds (60lb or more), you must book a day of daycare before actually boarding your dog. It gives me an opportunity to see how your dog interacts with me and other dogs. This is to ensure all dogs are happy and safe. The following breeds must be crate trained (I can provide crate): Pit bull (or any Pit Bull mix), Boxer, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, American Bulldog, Bullmastiff, Siberian Husky, Doberman Pinscher, Chow Chow and Cane Corso. I will only crate them if I need to step out of the house (for a short period of time). These breeds need to be well socialized and exercised in order for me to provide daycare or boarding. *If you are an established client and you are having issues with the Rover App, I can actually request booking for you (just send me a message in our latest conversation). I can also modify your booking (up to the booking date) in case you need to make changes. *If you are running late for drop off or pick-up (30 minutes to an hour), there will be no extra charge as long as you let me know in advance. I value your time, please value mine. *100% of the money you tip me goes to me. A tip is not a requirement but it’s deeply appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️. *I'm usually not on my phone between the hours of 9AM and 9PM but sometimes I do respond. I decided to try Rover as an attempt to be a full-time fur mom. I fell in love with the whole experience. All dogs come with a message of love and compassion. I am very grateful to my clients for their respect, kindness and trust. Dog sitting has allow me to meet some of the most beautiful people in the world. ❤️ I put my heart and soul into taking care of beautiful dogs. This is not a side job or a hobby. This is my full time job and I am proud of it. I know how hard it can be to find the right person to take care of our fur friends. I had struggles of my own. I was not able to find a long term dog sitter for my dogs. Luckily, I am now able to stay home with them. I am the daughter of immigrant parents. I was born in California but raised in San Luis, Mexico. I have a masters degree in Human Relations, a bachelors degree in Exercise Science and minor in Chemistry. I been married for 8 years to a very caring husband. My husband is a veteran and he loves dogs. He helps me with the dogs on the weekends. You will see him in some of the pictures. In the past, I have mainly worked with children and teens (P.E Teacher and Academic Success Advisor). I have also had other jobs such as administrative Specialist, Community Specialist, Zumba Instructor, Substitute Teacher, Academic Advisor and Testing Coordinator. During Covid, I developed my own business mentoring children and teens (for emotional support). From all the jobs I have performed, dog sitting has been the most tender to my soul. I learn how to be kind and compassionate to myself and set clear boundaries with humans. I also feel more confident since I been working with dogs. 🥰❤️ My dogs will not be part of the meet and greet. I have learned to introduce dogs slowly (as well as toys). There is no rush. Dogs have different temperaments. Some dogs act differently around their owner and some dogs need time to adjust to each other. Your dog's comfort and safety are my priority. I spend my day with the dogs. I even take them on car rides except when the weather doesn't permit it (high temperatures of 115 and above because you can’t even feel the AC in the car). I sometimes have to step out of the house to attend to a doctor's appointment, pick up a dog or walk a dog. It's never more than 2/3 hours. If your dog doesn’t like to be created, that’s totally fine with me as long as they are ok staying at home. I let dogs roam freely around the house but if you have specific instructions, I will make sure to follow your instructions. I don't take in more than 5 dogs at a time. This is to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all dogs. Please let me know how many updates/pictures/videos you would like to receive per day. You don’t have to respond to any of my messages/updates. I like to keep you informed of what we are doing. Please bring dog’s food. This is extremely important because some dogs develop an upset stomach due to sudden food changes. If your dog doesn't like dry food, please bring frozen food or ingredients for me to cook.

About: I love and care for two dogs, I love to play and to cuddle. I've been trusted to sit cats, dogs, and even chickens. With specialties such as grooming, intensive gentle senior care, and large groups of dogs. I am currently unemployed with my own transport, looking to make my passion of animal care into a lucrative self sustainable career. I'm available anytime morning to night, mon-sun 7am-10pm, I'm a homebody with plenty of animals and passion for sharing that love. We have a small dirt lot and a park nearby our house that is a short walking distance. Our animals are more than friendly, but the amount of them makes boarding difficult willing to make accomodations though, can crate your animal if desired.

“We really really like Ashley and Jessica!! They have walked our pups three times so far and when the pups see them they know they’re in for a wonderful walk! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our family!”

About: I really just have a love for dogs that is unmatched. And my dog Dodger will love to have a new friend. He is amazing with other dogs and loves to play all day. I work Monday through Friday, but my dog always has free roam of the house and yours will too. I spend time playing with my dog everyday around 11am so your dog will have all the attention needed. Your dogs will be welcomed and treated like my own with free range of the backyard and home. We will go on early morning walk daily.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. As a kid we had labradors. Then as a teenager we had cats in the house. Now I care for both dogs and cats. I also own a tarantula that I have loved and cared for over three years now. I didn’t intend to have this many pets but they live here now and are part of the family. I am currently taking care of two small dogs and two house cats. I’ve been a free pet sitter for friends and family for years but it’s time I start earning some income for the work and time I put into caring for animals. I have also been taking care of many community cats over the years and actively spay and neuter the ferals in our community. I’ve bottle fed kittens as a teenager and cared for older dogs as well. I clean up after pet messes. I clean litter boxes and will clean cage bottoms of birds and hamsters. I can refill food and water bowls as needed and walk dogs. I have administered oral medication for older dogs. I can also bottle feed young kittens.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life. I currently live with 2 wonderful kittens and a 12 week old puppy. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles and guinea pigs. I’m dedicated to making sure that your pets have a safe, comfortable, and fun time. Just for the day or for a week? No matter the length, I'd love the opportunity to get to know your loved one. I love running and am always glad to bring a loved furry friend along with me. (Of course, with temperatures this high, the couch or carpet is always a great spot to lounge.)

“Jack took good care of my new doggy and gave me great tips on how to take care of him as a new big dog owner !! Recommend him very much. Definitely going to be texting him to walk my doggie sumtimes!!”

About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs—they’ve been more than pets; they’ve been my best friends. Currently, I care for my 14-year-old German Shepherd mix, Bambino. As a senior dog, he’s taught me so much about patience, compassion, and the unique needs older dogs can have. I’m experienced in recognizing signs of age-related issues like mobility challenges, changes in appetite, or discomfort. I know how to adjust playtime, exercise, and affection based on a dog’s energy level and health. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a sweet senior, I bring attentiveness, love, and respect to every pet I meet. I’m currently employed full time, but pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I’m available on weekday evenings and fully open on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets when their families need it most. Whether it's a relaxed evening walk, weekend playtime, or overnight care, I’m committed to giving pets the attention, love, and care they deserve in the time I have available. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, going for regular walks, giving medication, or just spending quality time together.

“Danielle is always amazing with my pups. She takes her time to get them to warm up to her and then gives them lots of love between walks. Highly recommend Danielle!! She’s my go to!”

About: I have had pets ever since I was in elementary school. I currently have 3 fur babies (2 cats, 1 dog {Golden German Sheppard}). I am looking forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am new to the area. I love being outside and waking. I really enjoy having a dog with me on walks and would love to have your fur baby join me. I hope that your friend will be willing to have my beautiful girl join us on long walks, but if they are not friendly with other dogs…that’s perfectly fine. We can explore just us!

About: I'm very good with animals. I love walking, caring for, and playing with them. I've been dogsitting and catsitting for most of my adult life. I've even flown across the country to dogsit for a friend for an extended period because I was the only one she truly trusted to take great care of her beagle. If I take care of your dog, you can rest easy that they'll be loved and cared for properly. They might even learn some new tricks. I love teaching dogs tricks! I have been called a dog whisperer. I have a calm and fun demeanor that dogs really seem to like. Please consider me when you need care for your precious pooch. I promise that you will not be dissatisfied with my service. I have a full-time job and mainly work afternoon to late evening. I am able to take an extended lunch break to care for your pets. Your babies will receive plenty of affection from me. They can sleep with me, of course. I will play with them and walk them, if it isn't too hot. I might even teach them new tricks 😁

About: What sets me apart is my 49 years of hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals — from playful puppies and cuddly kittens to senior pets and exotic birds, as well as horses and other farm animals. I’m not just an animal lover; I’ve spent decades caring for them in real-life, day-to-day settings. I specialize in senior pet care, understanding the patience, gentleness, and medication routines older animals often need. I’m also great with puppy training basics, helping establish healthy habits and structure from the start. I bring a calm, confident energy that helps animals feel safe and at ease, even when their parents are away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, extra belly rubs, a bit of TLC, or someone who understands the unique needs of exotic or large animals — I’m here with love and reliability. I currently work full time Monday - Thursdays. I will and can fit whatever is necessary in my schedule but completely open Friday, Saturday's and Sunday's. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and secure. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine — feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I give regular updates with photos, so you know your furry (or feathered!) family member is happy and cared for. I also respect your home, keeping things clean and orderly while you're away. With nearly five decades of animal experience, I’m able to quickly tune into each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they’re not just looked after, but truly cared for.
