Dog Walking Heart Bar Campground

About: I’ll love your pets as deeply as I love my own🐶💕 •Lifelong dog owner, with experience as a dog trainer, farrier, wrangler, pet sitter, foster, & caregiver. Worked in dog boarding facilities & with private pet owners, while volunteering at shelters, rescues, ranches, and stables. • Home 24/7 – Your pet will always be in my care and never left wondering where I am. • Single story home with a secure yard for safe play and relaxation. • Two friendly dogs of my own who love making new friends & can provide great companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. (can be definitely separated, if needed) • Experienced with animals of all sizes, ages, personalities, puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. My animals have always come first.. they eat before I do, every single time. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. Working with animals has taught me patience, situational awareness, & how to understand the quiet, nonverbal ways they communicate. I believe every pet deserves to feel loved, safe, and understood while their family is away. I would be honored to earn your trust, care for your furry family member like my own, and hopefully become their new best friend. This is more than just a “hustle” to me, it’s my passion. 🥰 -I work from home, and have a very flexible schedule to attend to your dog's needs. - My home is completely fenced in - safe for your dog to roam and run around supervised. -Can easily crate or separate the dogs if needed. - Neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly - No kids or cats in my home - Have my A/C on constantly (necessary with the summer heat!) - Usually only book 1 client at a time to ensure I give your dog the best attention. I have a fully fenced yard, and two very friendly dogs. If needed, my pups definitely can be separated, or crated. In my client's home, I follow every rule and expectation they imply. I take extra precautions being in the client's home, as I dont want anything to happen to any of their stuff or their furbaby.

“Tara gave my dog an excellent walk! He came back well exercised and she sent plenty of pictures. I would definitely work with Tara again! She also made time for me on a very last minute appointment. Thank you Tara”

About: For the last two decades, I have dedicated myself to house sitting and pet care for those closest to me. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle giants and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC. Because I’ve worked with dogs of all different sizes and temperaments, I know how to read their body language, respect their routines, and give them exactly what they need to feel at ease. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I'm available for day or overnights during the week and most weekends. I am very loving and hands on type with pets. We can play in the yard if it's fenced and/or go for walks. I am comfortable to administer medication if needed, as I have cared for many senior foster and my own pets.

“Destiny was great with kimchi! Very responsive and kept me updated throughout the stay! I recommend her for any pet needs!!”

About: I've always had friends with dogs and have done house and dog sitting for many years without any issues. I also have a saint Bernard, Banks! I'm currently looking for a new job after I was laid off from my former job. I have a lot of time on my hands currently so I have open availability. I take my doggo out on walks every day! We're also lazy from time to time but we're usually more active. I'm very engaged with my dog as he can be very energetic so I can definitely handle bigger dogs with a lot of energy.

“When Marla came to our home it was like discovering someone new and our family. Marla's instant love for our four-legged family members is wonderful 😊.”

About: I grew up with pets my whole life, including dogs, cats, and fish, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I love meeting new pets and getting to know their personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I’m currently a full-time nursing student, so pet sitting is a great way for me to earn extra money while doing something I enjoy. My schedule is flexible, which allows me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets and making sure they receive the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines so pets feel comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I focus on providing attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also respect my client’s home by keeping things clean and communicating regularly with updates if needed.

About: I’ve always had animals around while growing up. I don’t think I can recall a time I haven’t had a pet. I even insisted on rescuing my dear Daizie May when I was 12 from the pound. I’ve helped raise several litters and rescue any dog I see in need. I have to actively stay off Facebook as to not fall into fostering or taking in any animal in need. My boyfriend calls me a Disney Princess with the way I communicate with my animals. It’s all about body language, respect, and patience. Trust is extremely important. I currently work a flexible schedule in my family owned business and am looking for side jobs that I also am passionate about. Any time that I’m needed I can usually make it work. I’m ready to follow and assist in whatever systems are set up in your family and household. Whatever your fur family is used to! Photos are VERY important and cherished.

About: Hello! As a devoted dog mom myself, I understand the importance of trust, safety, and individualized attention for every fur baby. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special care needs, I’ll treat your furry friend like family! I’ve been blessed to have pets in my family my entire life. I adopted my own large pup three years ago and I adopted my kitty in 2014. I trained my puppy and have also trained my cat (yes, it’s possible). I am good with all dog sizes and all cats! I’m currently working full-time but I have a flexible schedule. I can work around the needs of your fur baby! I am free most early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Long walks, extra cuddles, and lots of love. My fur-babies are my children. They are so spoiled and I carry myself the same way in caring for others!

About: I have taken care of many animals since I was around 12 years old. For years, people within my community have come to me to take care of, or spend time with their sweet (and sometimes not so sweet) pets while they were away, and because I am so used to caring for children, I have a special place in my heart for pets of all kinds. I am very patient and nurturing and have many pets of my own back home in GA where I grew up, but because I am away from my own fur babies, I am hoping to have the opportunity to spend time with yours, just as if they were mine. :) My typical full-time job is within the film industry, which is shut down for the time being due to a writer’s strike that has forced thousands out of work for an unknown amount of time. With that being said, I’m spending a lot of time at home and have a completely open schedule for pet care! The writer’s strike likely will go on for months, so I am fully available now for full-time pet care and will still be available part time once the film industry is back up and running! I have always felt comfortable having pets on my furniture as well as in my bed, as I grew up with three “lap dogs” who crave constant attention and cuddles. I understand that not all pets prefer to be touched or held, but I like to give pet owners that option. :) I am a pretty active young adult, so I love dogs that like to go on hikes or walks around our nice, friendly neighborhood. (or yours!) I never let my own animals’ food or water bowls go empty, so I make sure that the pets are always well maintained and taken care of. I am attentive, caring and patient and I’m eager to share my love with your pets!

“Melissa is a rock star dog walker! 🤘😎❤️🐾 My Goldem Retriever was desperate for a walk and it started raining — this did not stop Melissa from giving my dog the most fun walk in the rain ever! ☔️🐕 My dog is so happy and I’m very grateful!”

About: I’ve worked with all types of pets, small and big, I 'm compassionate about animals and the unconditional love they bring to our lives. Whether it was a shi tzu to a german shepard to a lab, to a horse, I'm a true animal lover. Additionally, I took care of a friend until the end, he got Long-Term Covid in 2019 and died in Feb 2024. I also helped in my mother's care who had muscular dystrophy and my father, who had dementia. I'm a semi-retired entertainment publicist who spent the last 18 years in Los Angeles. After being a part-time resident in PALM SPRINGS since 2008, I'm now a full-time resident that truly loves the desert and no remorse from leaving LA. When I do work, I work from my home office so I'm always around. Also, if you are looking for an extended stays, please reach out to me for discount on mid-long term stays. Mainly by preference, I have my own personal preferences but whatever the Pet Parents want something specific, like no pets on the furniture or bed. Preference for using their own dog bed. I'm here to provide a service tailored to their needs.

“Elizabeth was awesome, super responsive to my requests, and timely! I think Lana had a great time with her at City Park. Would recommend to a friend, and I work in the veterinary field!”

About: I’ve always been around dogs and currently care for two samoyeds of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and attention to detail. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleanup, and making pets feel comfortable in new environments. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and already structure my days around caring for my own dogs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and many weekends. I enjoy having pet care as part of my daily routine and make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I care for pets according to each owner’s instructions and try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, potty breaks, medications, crate instructions, and any specific care requests closely. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment throughout the day. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I have worked in animal care since I was a child and have always had a passion for dogs! I have my own dog as well, so I know how stressful it can be to make sure your dog is taken care of. I currently work as a health rep for a veterinary company! I am very flexible and willing to do whatever is needed!! Luckily my job gives me flexibility so I am able to work around other schedules! I am very protective of my own dog, and I tend to care for other animals the way I care for her because I know that’s how i’d want her to be treated!

About: Hello! Don't let my profile location deter you from reaching out, I have a very wide service area. I am available to care for all of your pets while you're away! Please contact me for a quote if you have a pet you'd like me to care for other than a dog or cat (submit it as a dog/cat request) ☺️ New to Rover? I have a discount code for you if you book your first service with me! I am available for night and evening drop-ins to feed and play with your pets. Do you work nights and hate leaving your babies alone? Are you going to a fancy dinner and want to make sure your pets are okay when you're gone? I can come by and give you some peace of mind. I can also care for other pets, including lizards, fish, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I am a huge animal lover. I adopted a senior dog years ago and he was the best dog ever, up until his very last day in December, 2023. Our household has water snails, fish, three cats, a dog, and a pig! I have experience with rabbits and hamsters and other small pets, and I have experience with special needs animals. My longest boarding to date was 5 months for a senior cat with Cerebellar hypoplasia. My schedule recently changed, so I am available on most days for drop-ins and walks. I also offer boarding, house sitting, and daycare. We are a very animal friendly household. I have a fenced yard and a kiddie pool so your doggos can play and keep cool! My piggy will be there to keep your baby company and I have a 14 year old kid who loves to snuggle and play with all your pets! Cats will enjoy their own space so they can feel comfortable ☺️ !!!Important Notes!!!: I love watching and caring for your snuggle bug(s)! However, I have to sleep too. If you can't pick up your pet before 7pm, one additional day of boarding or doggy daycare will be added to your booking. An additional fee will be added for dogs over 40 pounds. Dogs under 1 year and/or "bully breeds" will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. By booking with me, you acknowledge that if your puppo damages property, you are responsible for any cost of repairs or replacement. When damage occurs, it is usually caused by pets that do not crate or have high anxiety when left alone for even short periods. My policy on dog breeds and sizes is in place because of two separate incidents. First, I lost a beloved pet to a boarded Rover doggo on Christmas morning, 2020. Having to put my little pig Minnie in the freezer after being attacked on Christmas morning was a horribly traumatic experience. In June 2023 I was attacked by a 110lb Rover dog at a meet and greet and had to go to the hospital. If the owner had not been present, I would have been killed. These are incidents that I will not risk repeating. Thank you so much for understanding!

“Caesar is so knowledgeable and patient with my Mastiff and Boston terrier. My mastiff is not typically comfortable with men and Caesar has been working with him, taking him on walks and after a couple of visits their total pals! Caesar knows a lot about dog psychology and has helped me a lot with how I work with my dogs. I highly recommend using Caesar for all of your pet sitting services.”
