Dog Walkers in Hidden Valley Lake, CA

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with a lovable dog named Marley (in my profile picture). At just 10 years old, I started walking dogs around my neighborhood, and that grew into a passion for pet care. While I’ve mostly catsat over the years, I’ve also had the unique experience of snakesitting! Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I love all animals and treat every pet like my own. My schedule is currently open and will be until this upcoming school year. My other passion is working with children and i’m planning to be a substitute teacher starting this fall! I grew up with the notion “leave the place better than you found it.” I’m very aware of leaving a clients home nice and clean. I’m not afraid of picking up pet messes and i’m very good at putting things back where I found them. I pay close attention to care instructions as I believe it’s important to keep a pet on their familiar schedule.

About: Hey, I’m Chappy! Christopher is my legal name… I specialize in walking / caring for large dogs and working breeds, but am happy to work with all breeds and sizes. I have worked with high-energy, reactive, less than sociable dogs too, giving them the physical and metal fulfillment they need. I personally have two larger dogs, Count (German Shepherd Husky mix, 110lbs) and Bentley (German Shepherd Dutch Shepherd mix, 80lbs). I’ve also worked with a range of breeds from pugs to golden retrievers to Alsatian shepherds to American bull dogs. I’m a freelance, work from home marketer, so I’m pretty much always at home and available to take care of dogs, or am able to come to you and take your pup out. We live on roughly 8 acres in Sonoma County, so there is plenty of room at our home for dogs to run and explore. I have two friendly German Shepherd mix dogs that love having friends over. We also have a secure deck that the dogs loving sunbathing on and watching the world go by. I can crate your dog, if need be (we have a crate / room for crates), along with the ability to keep dogs separate if need be. Should your dog use a e-collar of any sort, I’m trained in properly using them, as both of my dogs are trained to them. If your dog loves to hike, we regularly go for hikes on the trails around Sonoma County, or to Dillon Beach to run around off leash.

About: I've always loved all animals, always caring for or begging my folks for another fur baby. I grew up on farm, then moved into town. I was active in FFA. All animals including wildlife have been a part of my life since I was born. Cows, chickens, goats, dogs, cats, birds, lizards, I even raised a baby squirrel. You name it I've probably have cared for it! I retired "young", so I have all time for your pets and mine! I'm available for long walks which my husband and I do daily for ourselves (sometimes twice a day). We love Spring lake and there is a lovely shady park near our home that has two dog parks We have a huge fenced yard and three indoor/outside cats to keep your fur baby company. Or, I can come to your house for potty breaks, play time, walks or pets.

“I had to go out of town and booked Lynne at the last minute for day-time walks when no one was home. Her responses were always prompt, her communication was effective and clear, and I felt absolutely comfortable entrusting my pups to her. I also ended up extending my stay last minute and she was fully accommodating. I had let her know that two of my dogs may be a little shy at first, but they apparently were very fond of Lynne, and after just a few days of being walked by a new human, they are more friendly in general to strangers! Thanks Lynne, for taking great care of my pups. I would absolutely recommend Lynne To anyone needing the services she offers.”

“Laura is getting to know Yogee and also getting better at walking him. He is a energetic puppy and needs a good well paced walk. She is very patient with him which is lovely as he is slowly adapting to her. I hope to have her walk Yogee more in the future. She was very helpful and even started using the Rover cards. She is a really nice person.”

About: I am a responsible and experienced dog and cat sitter. As an animal lover my entire life, I gain immense joy and pleasure from interacting and caring for dogs, as well as cats. I've been a volunteer at the Sonoma Humane Society for over 10 years and I have cared for all types and breeds. Growing up we had labs, golden retrievers and terriers in our household. I'm exceptionally good at playing with and entertaining animals. Caring for, and attending to their unique and particular needs is important to me. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and respectful of both animals and the owner's property. I'm a non-smoker and I always leave my clients' homes in the condition I find it or better! I would love to meet and take care of new canine or feline friends. I am an artist/illustrator who works from home so I can devote ample time and attention to the animals I'm caring for. I can adapt my work around their schedules and I'm willing and able to be at home with them a great deal of the time. My pet-sitting for clients involves maintaining the routines of the animals, following instructions and giving them lots of play-time, love and attention. Every animal has unique needs and I give the appropriate cared required. I try to ensure that each pet is comfortable and happy. I keep my clients' homes neat and clean and I treat their property and pets with respect. I can also perform miscellaneous tasks like gathering the mail and watering plants, etc., if requested.

“We are so glad we found Rachel through Rover. We needed an overnight and walks for our skittish husky, who generally takes a while to warm up to people. Our dog was immediately comfortable with Rachel, tail wags and all. Rachel has a very calming way. She was great with communication, clear with scheduling, gave us regular updates, and left our home very tidy. Our dog was clearly well cared for. We hope to book her again in the future. Thank you, Rachel!”

About: Hello I’m a dedicated, honest, and reliable pet sitter/walker. I have loved animals my whole life, my family has always had multiple dogs at a time. I was 16 when I started working at a doggy day care (called stay and play dog care), where I got to work around no less than 15 dogs at a time and I absolutely loved it. I was in charge of walking, feeding, training, playing and occasionally staying the night with them. I have the ability to walk up to 8 dogs at one. I left that job for schooling to become a Certified Veterinary Assistant, I am currently working in the veterinary field but I would love to pet sit in my free time. I’m currently working full-time but it’s a short drive from my work to home, I always come home on my lunch break to walk and play with the animals. I have crates and a fenced yard for any time dogs will be left alone. I will care for your pet like one of my own.

About: Hi! Not only am I a reliable pet sitter, but I’m also fun and constantly outside exploring. I work remotely for a company called the Greenspan co Adjsuters international, so when I’m not working I have a lot of free time I’m trying to fill up. Please message me if you have any questions Thank you:) I work remotely so I have a lot of free time to be tending to your animals needs and have playtime/ adventuring. I work on the weekends. I have a fenced yard, and have plenty of water around for dogs. As for cats my husband and I are currently trying to build a catio.

About: I've taken excellent care of dogs, cats, and livestock for the past 25 years. Neighbors, friends and my own family have always been able to rely heavily on me to take great care of their pets. I've also got my own business page on facebook as well. I'm currently looking to expand my pet sitting and ranch care services, and am available pretty much any day of the week to provide my services. I don't offer to board other animals at my home for liability reasons. I have 1 horse, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. All 4 of my animals get pampered every single day with the best food that monet can buy, and all the love in the world from me. I'm currently not employed, and so am working on trying to expand my business as an animal care provider. You can also find me on facebook by searching for Kimi's Pet & Ranch Care Services. I treat each and every animal like they were my own. For example, I don't allow just anyone to come and take care of my 4 animals as I'm pretty protective of them, and would absolutely treat your 4 legged fur babies the same way

I have looked after many different breeds of dogs: large and small, young and old while working for a professional pet-sitting business based in Marin from 2008 to 2015 and 2021 to 2022. My experience included extended periods of in-home care while owners were away, and also daily dog-walks. We’ve had a pets in my household for most of my life including dogs, cats, rabbits and other smaller critters! I’ve looked after all of the above as a petsitter including many cats! All pets have their unique personalities and i enjoy getting to know them to make sure they will be happy and healthy in my care. I am available thru Rover for morning, afternoon and evening dog-walking. I work most weekday afternoons apart from Thursdays usually. Weekends, holidays am also available. I recommend an initial meet and greet to get to know the set up at your home and/or follow along on a typical local walk.
