Dog Walking Highgrove

About: Pets are family, and I know that firsthand! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. Growing up, we had two energetic and lovable miniature schnauzers, Shaggy and Betty, who brought so much joy to our home. After they passed, I adopted my sweet girl, Cali, two years ago. She’s my adventure buddy—we go on daily walks and runs, and she keeps me on my toes! I’m friendly, active, and caring, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets when you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure they’re well taken care of, I’ll treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve! Since I work fully remote, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. My own dog, Cali, is a big part of my day—we go on morning and evening walks, and I take regular breaks to give her attention, play, or just check in. This setup allows me to provide consistent care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving pets the love and attention they need. I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, ensuring your pets are well cared for while you’re away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddle sessions. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and their pet’s established routine. I make sure to follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special requests. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, I always ensure that pets receive the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make them feel at ease while their owners are away!

“Casey is amazing with my 6 month old Maltipoo. He has so much energy but she is so patient with him and is very respectful of my home. I’ve been booking walks with Casey for the last couple of weeks and she is always on time. She answers my phone calls and always takes lots of pictures during their walks.”

About: I have grown up around animals and have a genuine love for them. I have experience fostering and owning animals, understanding their unique needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet as I not only want to provide basic care but a positive and productive experience for the owner and pet. I am currently a full time college student. I have plenty of free time on my hands to spend with your furbabies. I own 6 of my own cats and understand the responsibility and attentiveness that is involved in the care of pets. I understand each pet is different, hence I want to adhere to an environment that makes them as comfortable as possible. Any established routines with your pet will be continued, extending to their feeding schedule and playtime. Additionally, I will take note of any special circumstances your pet may have and will adapt my care to fit their needs.

“My 2 pups are always excited to go walks with Elena. She is so loving and kind to my dogs. She’s dependable and I’m just so grateful to have her since I work long hours and they need these walks”

“This review is long overdue! Destiny is a treasure to work with and everyone should book with her. She is kind, tender and very communicative. You will not find a better person to take care of your pup than this. Destiny has always come through!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs and all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I have my own small dog who I’ve raised since he was a puppy, and I love taking him on walks and to dog parks. I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I also occasionally volunteer at local dog shelters, which has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. ❤️🐾 I’m a UCR student with a flexible class schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and provide care at a variety of times. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. 🐾 I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I’ll always prioritize their safety, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for in their own space. 🐾❤️

“Amanda brought the boys on their walk daily while we were out. She sent pictures and was told by our homesitter that the dogs were calm and tired.”

About: I’ve sat for many different dogs since I was 13. Family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and apply any needed medications to their dogs. I’ve looked after small Chihuahuas to big Rottweilers, from ages 13 and under. I’m currently taking online community college courses on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m available all day on weekends and weekdays to look after your amazing dogs! I think it’s best that a dog stay in their own environment so they can feel more comfortable. I will follow the rules you give about your house and pets to make sure they feel safe and your house stays clean and secure.

About: As a registered veterinary technician (nurse) I have the background and education to give you the peace of mind that your fur babies are well cared for. I have experience caring for all animals from pocket pets to livestock and everything in between! I am also fear free certified so I know the signs of stress and how to help your pets feel the most comfortable. I just graduated from college so I am completely available for all your pets needs. If you need a one time visit or a regular schedule I am here. I will bring all my expertise into their own home, keeping their routine consistent. I love to play, cuddle, or sit on opposite sides of the house whatever they prefer.

About: Hello 👋 I’m Brittany — a professional pet sitter and dog walker originally from New York with a huge love for animals. I have veterinary assistant training, dog training assistant experience, and I’ve volunteered at numerous animal shelters throughout my life. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up spending time on my grandparents’ horse farm in upstate New York, helping care for the horses and other animals. Over the years, I’ve personally owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to small animals, birds, reptiles, and farm animals. Dogs and horses have always held a special place in my heart. As a mom to a teenager and 5 fur babies of my own, I know pets are family. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule during the week. I’m only unavailable from 7:30–9:00 AM and 2:30–4:00 PM on weekdays for my daughter’s school drop-off and pick-up. I come prepared for every visit with my own utility belt stocked with all-natural treats and waste bags, plus my own leash, ice-cold water, and a travel water bowl. I also bring a tennis ball for playtime, a brush for pups who enjoy it, and paw balm when needed. 🐾 You’ll usually see me arrive for visits by e-bike 🚲, but I use my car if weather conditions call for it. I’m also comfortable caring for large, strong, and high-energy dogs.

About: I have worked in a pet food and supply store for two years where I learned a lot about how to properly take care of dogs, and how to train puppies. I have also had two dogs for about ten years now. I do part time work, but my hours there are short and flexible. I am available all other times including evenings and weekends for walks, and to check in on dogs. For houses sitting services I am available all week. I live by many parks for the dogs to play in, and I would be happy to take them to dog beaches or dog parks. I am unable to bring dogs inside my home right now as I’m living with someone who is extremely allergic, but still want to fill my heart with the joys of dogs.

About: Hello! My name is Kody but I go by Julian 😊 I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets, from big and little dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies, and even a couple of hermit crabs! I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets while they’ve been away, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Most recently, I cared for my roommate’s two senior cats, teaching me the importance of being patient, attentive, and consistent with older pets and their individual needs. I also became comfortable helping one of the cats with her asthma inhaler and other medical care. Whether I’m caring for a playful pup, a senior pet who needs a little extra attention, or a shy animal who takes time to warm up, I bring a gentle, attentive approach and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, with a 1–1.5 hour break around 1:30 PM each day. I work fully remotely on Wednesdays, which gives me additional flexibility for pet care. I’m happy to provide care before or after my workday, during my lunch break when timing allows, and on weekends. During the summer (June 15–August 15), I also have Fridays off and am available throughout the day. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable, cared for, and on their normal routine. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I never take the responsibility of caring for them lightly. I treat every pet with the same kindness, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and individual needs so they can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications and special instructions, and I’m careful to maintain a clean and secure environment. My goal is always for your pet(s) to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.

About: I've been around pets my whole life including cats, dogs, and reptiles. I've previously fosterd cats and I currently have my own cat and dog. I do not currently have a job so my availability is pretty wide open. I also do not have a car and cannot drive so I will be walking or biking depending on the weather. I can wake up as early as 6am and stay out as long as 9pm. I can work any day of the week however. I care for my cat and dog by changing the litter box and scooping when necessary, scooping and picking up dog poop. I give them both food and water and bathe and groom when needed. I also walk my dog about twice a week because it's too hot to go everyday. I will also play with them with toys. Regarding your animals, I can walk your dog, (or cat) to wherever you'd like, for however long you want. I will pick up poop if you provide me with bags. I can control small and medium dogs, larger dogs too since my dog is a large dog, but I do better with smaller animals. If you have a cat or other animal you want me to sit with for the day, I can scoop litter and feed them according to your choosing. I am friendly with animals and will not do anything to your pet that you do not permit.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals, which has helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and adaptability. I’m comfortable with both high-energy puppies and senior pets, providing the specific care each stage of life requires—like gentle handling, administering medication, or adjusting activity levels. I also have experience with basic training, feeding schedules, and maintaining a safe and stimulating environment. What sets me apart is my dedication to treating every pet as an individual, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I’m very organized and can dedicate consistent time for walks, feeding, play, and check-ins. Whether it’s a quick mid-day visit, a longer afternoon walk, or overnight care, I can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of each pet and ensure they get attention and exercise at the right times. I prioritize reliability, so pet owners can trust that their pets will always be cared for on schedule. I take class Monday through Thursday in the mornings so I’m available in the afternoons, evenings, and overnight. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet care situation. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure the space is secure, free of hazards, and suited to the pet’s needs—whether that means creating cozy resting areas, keeping food and toys organized, or supervising playtime. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, and special routines, to give pets consistency and reassurance. I also communicate regularly with owners, providing updates and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Dogs have been a particularly big part of my life. I grew up with a Chihuahua who had multiple litters, and I helped care for approximately four litters of puppies, including feeding, monitoring, and caring for them as they grew. I’ve also puppy sat a German Shepherd, Pit Bull mix, and Doberman puppy, which gave me experience handling young, energetic dogs that require confidence, patience, and plenty of attention. I’ve also had the experience of caring for a dog through her senior years. As my dog grew older, I became more attentive to her changing needs and learned the importance of providing extra patience, comfort, supervision, and gentle care for an aging pet. I have some experience with cats as well. While dogs have been my primary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats too and have experience handling and bathing them. I understand that cats have their own personalities and boundaries, and I’m happy to give them time to feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a full-time student, so I’m primarily available on weekends for pet care. I enjoy staying active and exercising, so going on walks and spending time outdoors with pets is something I genuinely look forward to. I also find being around animals relaxing and rewarding, and I love giving them attention, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect while following their normal routines as closely as possible. Before caring for a pet, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if applicable, and any special instructions. In my client’s home, I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are supervised and kept in a safe environment. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and let them become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕

About: I have over 15 years of hands on experience in caring for my dogs and my families dogs. My passion for animals is reflected in the compassionate, reliable, and personalized care I provide to each pet as if they were my own. Due to my current work schedule, I'll only be available Sunday, and Monday for overnight boarding. I can do drop ins and daily walks after 330pm. Leaving your pets while you have to be away is always hard but don't stress as I will help make that process easier. I will create a calm and familiar environment. I also suggest bringing a dog bed and toy. I will stick to regular routine, feeding, walking and sleeping. I will communicate with you, sending pics and videos. Regularly clean food bowls. I have a fenced yard and a park that connects to our house which is also fenced. During walks I will always be on alert and use a leash.

About: I will work with you to help insure your dog gets the best care and love he or she deserves and needs, I have experienced ranging from senior dogs to puppies. Please feel free to let me know of any questions or special requests you may have. I currently work in dog care with my husband. I’m currently work from home alongside my husband and our 4 pets. I’m generally available weekdays and weekends. I’m free most times of the day to drop in and check in on your pet(s)! I always make sure to gain trust from the animals I look after by providing some comfort, pets, and or treats as soon as I meet them.

About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have been around German shepards, pitbulls, and all of the more "intimidating" breeds. So you can trust that I will get the job done and make sure your pet has an awesome time while doing it. I have bathed and walked more dogs than I can count and have owned several dogs in the past. My schedule is completely clear ever since I finished up my summer community college classes. Whatever your pet needs whenever they need it they will get. Please note that my yard is not fenced. Whenever I take your pet outside it will be on a leash or harness. My home is spacious and has 3 cat friends. When I am in your home I will follow all guidelines set as I have a lot of experience with house sitting as well.
