Dog Walking Gaskill

“My first time having Jes walk my dog. He immediately struck me as a good human. He is calm, yet with presence that put my dog at ease. His experience caring for animals shows in his demeanor. I’ll definitely be using him for my future needs!”

About: I cared for my own senior dog before he passed and understand how important patience, consistency, and routine are for pets. I’m experienced with regular walks, slower-paced outings, feeding routines, potty breaks, and keeping pets calm and comfortable. I’m also attentive to details like medication timing and following owner instructions closely. I’m especially comfortable with adult and senior dogs who benefit from a calm, reliable presence. I currently work on a flexible, self-directed schedule from home while writing a book, which allows me to be available for weekday walks and drop-in visits. I’m especially able to help with midday, afternoon, and early evening visits, and I’m happy to work with pet parents on consistent recurring routines when schedules align. I cared for my own senior dog before he passed (a 17+ year Corgi/Dachshund mix. I miss him so much!), so I understand how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail can be. I’m comfortable with regular walks, slower pacing, feeding routines, and making sure medications are given on time when instructed. In a client’s home, I follow their directions closely, keep pets calm and comfortable, and make sure doors, leashes, food, water, and any special instructions are handled carefully.

“Our dogs love Andy! He does a great job handling them and we feel relieved knowing they are in good hands during each walk. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.”

About: As a dog and cat mom, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I have experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, cats, rabbits, and birds, along with over 15 years of volunteering with dog and cat rescues. My experience includes hands-on care for shelter dogs and fostering, so I’m comfortable working with animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I intentionally limit the number of clients I take on so I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Having adopted two timid dogs, I understand the importance of creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. My home is completely dog-proofed, with extra dog beds, furniture privileges for pups who love to snuggle, and a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs have regular access to the outdoors. My priority is understanding each pet’s individual needs and following the owner’s care instructions closely. I’m especially mindful of safety, whether at home or when entering and leaving a client’s home, always double-checking that doors are secure and locked. I also believe in clear communication, providing regular updates, and asking questions whenever something is unclear. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!

About: I’ve been raising a very cute black pug for four years. For some reason, I couldn’t bring him with me and I miss him a lot. I really love dogs, so I’d love to do some dog-related work in my free time. I’m happy to let dogs on the sofa or bed, since I always clean them up after walks to make sure both they and the environment stay clean. I’ve spent time with many different dogs, including some that were initially unfriendly. By offering treats, approaching them slowly, and taking the time to get to know them, I was able to build trust. I’m very patient with dogs! From Monday to Friday, I’m usually out for 2–4 hours a day, but I’m home all day on weekends. During my free time, I’m happy to take dogs out to play. 1. Diet: I carefully control meal portions and feeding times, and always make sure dogs stay hydrated—especially in hot weather. After walks, I wait 5–10 minutes before giving them water. 2. Hygiene: I clean eye discharge promptly and keep both the dogs and their environment clean. 3. Exercise: I walk dogs 2–3 times a day. 30min/walk. 4. Playtime: In my free time, I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek with them. 5. Companionship: I spend as much time with them as possible. 6. Safety on walks: Dogs are always leashed outside. I stay alert when they interact with other dogs and separate them immediately if there are signs of aggression. I also make sure they don’t eat things off the ground, and I always clean up after them. 7. Sleeping: I used to sleep with my own dog, so if your dog is used to that, they’re welcome to join me too.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a young child, my family always had at least one dog. I am comfortable with spending time with dogs, walking them, playing with them, and anything special care they may need! I’m currently a part time college student (I’m starting college later in life) so I have plenty of time to be able to visit and hang out with pets. I always make sure the cats’ needs come first, checking all doors and windows are secured, and that there are no hazards. I’m very calm and patient, whatever energy and mood the cat is in, that is what goes!

“Ruby is the absolute BEST! She is so sweet and kind to my pup! Ruby has great communication, is professional and easy to work with. I am a crazy dog mom and I trust Ruby 100%! She is reliable and gives great updates and pictures.”

“Tiffany has been walking our dog Tara for the past two weeks. Tara and Tiffany have become fast friends. I immediately noticed how comfortable Tiffany is greeting large dogs and how fast this led to Tara gaining trust. Thank you for your help Tiffany! Looking forward to continue working together.”

“Lena has been amazing with our dogs. One of our dogs is nervous and anxious. She has spent lots of time getting him comfortable with her. She has shown great patience. We really appreciate her!”

“Was delighted to partner with Kirsten on my puppy’s first dog sitting experience!! Kirsten showed up on time so I could attend a work event stress free and was a great communicator! She played with her and cuddled with her and when I got home form a work event, she was a sleepy, happy, puppy!”

“Sandee Is absolutely amazing and I'm so happy I found her. She responded right away was right on time and my dog absolutely loved her. Will definitely use her again.”

“Karen is totally great! I appreciated her emails confirming her walks with Annie. My little dog readily took to her and clearly was well exercised. I hope to schedule with Karen again.”

About: Hey there! 🐾 My Wi-Fi name is "House of Dogues". That probably tells you everything you need to know about me. I've been around pups my whole life: walks, sits, feedings, bath time, you name it. Friends, family, neighbors have all trusted me with their fur babies, and I take that seriously. But also I make it really fun. Here's what makes me a little different: I follow the dog's lead. Some pups want a big adventure. Others want a slow sniff-everything kind of walk (honestly iconic). On our walks, they pick the route. I'm just happy to be invited. I also put together little enrichment activities because a stimulated dog is a happy dog, and yes, I talk to them like they understand everything I'm saying, because they do. I'm a big dog park person too, but I'm picky about it in the best way. I stick to parks where I already know the people and the dogs, so I know exactly what kind of environment your pup is walking into. No surprises, just good socialization with faces I trust. When your dog stays with me, they get a whole day tailored to their vibe: cozy, active, or somewhere in between. And you? You'll get so many photo and video updates you might actually forget you miss them. Might. At home I live with Totó, my shichihuahua who is fully convinced he runs this household (he does). He's taught me everything about big personality in a small body, and he's an excellent host. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs. I know how to give them the patience, gentleness, and extra love they deserve. My clients always say the same two things: they got way more updates than they expected, and they finally felt okay leaving their dog with someone. That's the whole goal. 🐶 I work remotely, which means I'm home most of the day and genuinely available, no scrambling, no rushing. Midday walk? Morning sit? Last-minute check-in? I can make it work. Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my routine, it basically IS my routine. Your dog will never feel like an afterthought. Safety is everything to me, and so is making sure your pet actually enjoys their time. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pup always has water, food, and lots of love. On walks, I stick to routes and parks I know well, with dogs and people I already trust. No random off-leash situations, no surprises. At my place, it's calm, cozy, and very much a dog household (my Wi-Fi is literally called "House of Dogs"). Totó, my shichihuahua, is a great host as long as you respect that he's in charge.

“Veronica is amazing and took such great care of my pup!”

“Chandlor did a great job walking my two dogs - together and separately. They greeted him with enthusiasm and came back well exercised. You can tell he has dogs of his own & knows how to communicate with them. Thanks, Chandlor”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs, from paraplegic German shepherds, to brand new havanese puppies that need training. I know how much you care for your pets and I want to make sure they’re loved and feel safe when you’re away! I’m currently available at anytime both on weekdays and weekends! Can be flexible short notice or book out in advance for a planned pet parent absence. I have a fenced yard and follow all rules of the city and the pet parents when going outside of the home. Ensuring that pets are safe and comfortable being in public if that’s the parents wish is paramount!

About: I've been a dog owner for my entire life, attending dog training classes as early as 6 y/o. In the past, I shared responsibility for 2 family dogs (a Doberman and Springer Spaniel). I also have my own puppy, a friendly little mini-poodle named Peri! I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for 8+ years, and offering services on Rover for over a year now. I love all dogs and I will work to meet a variety of needs, from high energy puppies to elderly/disabled dogs. I don’t have a lot of experience with cats, but I’m happy to learn. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Right now I have a very open schedule to dedicate to pet care. In late August I will start my Master’s program at Cal, so my availability will be in the evenings Monday-Thursday, and open Friday-Sunday. Communication with clients is my #1 safety priority. I will ask questions to determine how to best care for each individual pet. I try to maintain a sense of normalcy/ routine to keep pets calm in what could be an otherwise stressful situation.

“Robin has been great at communicating quickly, getting to know my doggo, and gaining his trust! He’s a pandemic puppy so isn’t used to a dog walker. I’m so glad she’s been able to get him going as I start to go back to work.”
