Dog Walkers in Lakeview, CA

“Nickie’s love and care for Frito came through right away. He is an anxious dog and takes time to warm up to even the most gentle of people. Nickie had won him over after the second walk. I felt so good having Frito in her care. Nickie is a gem because of her loving and calm manner. I am looking forward to having her back to walk Frito again.”

About: For as long as I can remember, my passion for animals has been a fundamental part of my life. I have dedicated countless hours to nurturing and caring for pets, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and proper care they deserve. My journey with pets has taught me invaluable lessons in compassion, responsibility, and the joy of companionship. Whether it’s providing a safe and loving home, regular veterinary care, or simply spending quality time together, I am committed to enhancing the lives of my furry friends. My long-term care for pets reflects not only my love for them but also my belief in the profound bond that exists between humans and animals. I am pleased to offer 24/7 care for your pets, ensuring they receive the attention, love, and support they need at any time of day or night. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship, I am dedicated to keeping your furry friends happy and healthy around the clock. Your pets will be in safe hands, allowing you peace of mind while you're away. I have a fenced-in safety yard designed to provide a secure and safe environment for your pets. In this yard, I have two friendly small dogs who likely enjoy playing and exploring together. Additionally, I have a medium-sized senior dog, who has a calmer demeanor and prefers a more relaxed pace. The fenced area ensures that all dogs can enjoy their time outdoors without the risk of wandering off or encountering any potential dangers. This setup allows for a safe and enjoyable space for your dogs to socialize and exercise.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years, including my 4 cats and a bearded dragon who are very friendly and chill. I also pray for and feed the stray animals in my neighborhood because I care deeply about their well-being. I treat my pets like my children—I make sure they’re fed, bathed, and always feel safe and loved. I can’t be away from them for too long because they need me, and honestly, I need them too. Animals mean the world to me, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care. You can trust they’ll be safe and happy in my hands. I’m usually available on weekends, and during the week I’m free after 12 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On all other weekdays, I’m available starting at 9 AM. I’m flexible and always happy to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets in my care. I have a calm, pet-safe home with 4 loving cats—two love being around me all the time, while the other two prefer quiet, hidden spots to rest. I also have a proper setup for my bearded dragon. I can easily separate animals if needed. Whether in your home or mine, I follow all care instructions carefully, keep things clean, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply cared for with gentle, one on one attention. - The reason I'm providing low prices is because I'm new to Rover and I'd like to keep quality pet care within reach of as many families as possible while I build up my profile and nice reviews. Not because I provide low-quality service—I want you to feel assured and at ease in hiring me to look after your pets, knowing they'll receive trustworthy and loving attention without going over your budget.

About: When I think about what pets need I, of course, think of food and water, but also love and patience. What sets me apart from other sitters is my determination to provide pets with all four. As a pet owner myself I’m capable of caring for all the needs a pet has. My childhood dog, Bear, is now a senior dog and has to be taken care of in ways we never had to when he was younger. Since I live in different states now, the visit at the vet was a scary one for my mother as well as for me since. His constant cough had the vet looking at his heart and since he’s an older dog we only expected bad news. With the cough medicine they gave my mom we knew things were about to change. I helped my mom with suggestions on a few accommodations for him like adding a step stool on the side of the bed and changing his diet as well. She would explain now in the mornings she has to feed him his medication for breakfast (which she hides in a slice of Turkey so he doesn’t notice). During exercise we learned we had to make sure they were slow paced, gauging how he was feeling and taking breaks when he visibly looked tired. All these extra steps she takes every day makes me love and appreciate him even more even if it’s from a distance. Whether it be a puppy or a senior dog, whenever I’m visiting them I’m always eager to take care and show my love for them. We also have another dog, Bella, that’s a few years younger than my senior dog and I was able to train both of them to use the new doggy door we installed. It took time and patience but now they come in and out without my help. I have experience in caring for my dogs from laying out pee pads to showing them new tricks even as they get older. I realized that my mom is fortunate enough to have a schedule to be able to care for her dogs, but not everyone is the same. That’s why I want to help my community, to care for their pets especially for those with extra needs. I’m willing to meet the pets beforehand to make sure we’re a great fit! Pet care fits perfectly in both my daily and weekly routine since I would say I’ve perfected it over the years. Since installing a doggy door I didn’t have to worry about their potty breaks anymore as they go in and out freely. However before then, I worked close to home so I would feed them in the morning, let them out before work, drop in during my lunch and let them out, and after work we would go for a walk. They also learned that sitting against the sliding door was a sign they needed to go to the bathroom. For my cats, I set up specific times to feed them and I will adjust the time frames if need be. I always made time for their needs on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Providing my pets with food and water is the basic necessity I give them to show them I care for their well being. I also make sure to are up to date with their shots and vaccinations. They are groomed every month and for my previous cats who were outdoors we put a tick collar on them. Taking my dogs on walks is how I used to get them their daily exercise in and for my cats playing with them with their toys though they get plenty enough on their own with their zoomies. All my pets were already spayed/neutered before we adopted them and during the adoption process we set up their microchips. My pets have all slept indoor and have various places for them to roam, play, and sleep. I understand the importance of daily playtime therefore I devote at minimum 30 minutes a day. For my dogs I would play fetch and utilize various cat toys with catnip for my cats. I make sure to clean up after my pets both outside and inside. Cleaning their bowls and their droplets.

About: I have gained lots of skills in my profession working at shelters and animal hospitals. For both, I was responsible for feeding, cleaning and grooming all the animals we housed. Even vet care if needed. So no need to worry, nothing will come to a surprise for me! I’m currently working at California Wolf Center. My time is partly taken however I am willing to alternate my schedule to whatever suits your calendar best! I have a fenced yard and a home that is open to the dog/puppy. I do have two fur babies of my own that love to play with new friends, however my attention would be fully focused on yours to ensure they are enjoying themselves while they stay with us.

About: What makes me different from other sitters is that I’ve always had dogs and I truly love being around them. I treat every dog like they’re my own and do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Over the years, many friends and neighbors have trusted me to watch their dogs because they know I’m caring and responsible. I’ve helped with both puppies and older dogs, and I always give them the attention they need. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Everyday i make time to walk my dogs in the morning and at night at the park. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make time to feed them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Whether it’s just part of my day or something I plan for during the week, I always make sure the pets I care for are a top priority When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any instructions given, like feeding schedules, walks, or any special needs. I spend time playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they’re not feeling lonely or stressed. I will always try my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible.

About: I have experience taking care of others pets for 6+ years. I love all animals & will take good care of your furry & not furry babies. I am currently available all day. I can visit for almost any time of the day. I might be unavailable at certain times on Wednesday or other times the week due to doctors appointments but I will make sure to let you know before confirming a visit I have 2 cats both male. I know all pets are different & will make sure to follow any steps needed to ensure they’re happy.

About: Hi there! I moved to California exactly a year ago, and it’s been such a joy connecting with new paw-rents and their amazing animals. I bring over 8 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including kennel work, fostering, house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I previously worked for a pet care agency in Florida similar to Rover, and I take this work very seriously—every pet in my care is treated like family. What sets me apart is that I’m a student groomer, a practical animal communicator, and a passionate animal advocate. I also have an upcoming grooming internship, and my long-term dream is to become a veterinarian to help stray animals and families who can’t afford care. I’ve worked in dog daycare and absolutely loved it. I currently live with three dogs (my babies!) and two beloved rats, my soul creatures. I have a soft spot for rescue animals and often foster until they find their forever homes. I'm also open to caring for other animals besides dogs—whether it’s cats, small animals, or even the unusual! (Just no T-Rexes, please 🦖😭) I’m honest about my availability, respectful of your home, and always focused on making sure both you and your pet feel safe and supported. Every animal deserves love, dignity, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m also trilingual! I speak English, Spanish, and ASL—so feel free to reach out in the language that works best for you. I believe care should be accessible, inclusive, and heart-centered 🐾💛 My dogs & rats eat breakfast every morning at 10am, enjoy small veggie snacks around noon, and have dinner at 4pm. Their health and routine matter to me, so I carry that same care and consistency over to the pets I care for. Pet care is not just part of my routine—it’s part of who I am. My furkids are my family—so if your dog is friendly and gets along with others, I’m happy to welcome them in. I’m easygoing, but I do ask for honesty about your dog’s behavior, health issues, and whether they’re potty trained. If your dog has an accident due to anxiety, illness, or youth, that’s absolutely okay—I understand and will help however I can. But if I’m not informed ahead of time and your dog isn’t potty trained, I do charge $100/night, as it affects my home and how my own dogs behave. I’ve fostered before, raised puppies and kittens, and even cared for momma animals—so I’m flexible. What matters most to me is clear, honest communication. If we work as a team, everyone (pets included!) will be happy.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. Ive always been that type of girl to pick up stray animals and treat them as if they were my own babies (which they basically are lol). My father used to be a veterinarian so he’s taught me a lot of things about animals and I’ve always used that knowledge when taking care of my own pets. I am an animal lover, I love animals with all my heart and getting to meet and take care of these furry babies just warms my heart. I specialize in potty breaks, playtime and bathing, and gentle care. My priority is making sure your fur baby gets exactly what they need, whether it be belly rubs, a nice walk Ect! I also pay attention to little details, like whether your cats likes chins scratches over back pats. My main goal when taking care of your furry friend is to make them feel safe and loved, while giving you some peace of mind with updates on your pet and pictures! You’ll get to see some of the photos of me with animals when I was just a kid! I’m currently enrolled into school but only Wednesday through Fridays. I have availability the rest of the week/weekends, full days. And possibly afternoons on the three days I go to school :) I treat your space with care and respect, and I make sure your pet feels totally at ease in their own cozy environment. I follow your instructions to the letter, meals, walks, cuddles, even which window they love to sit by. I also keep you updated with cute pics and messages, so you never feel far away from your little one. 😚

About: I have always been the first person my friends and family call to watch their loved pets. I have a variety of experiences with all pets. Pet care would fit into my weekly routine because I am a part time employee elsewhere and a part time college student mostly from home. I have a fully fenced property and a small friendly rabbit to keep your pets company. He mostly lives in his rabbit hutch but loves to play!

About: I have experience with rabbits, cats, and dogs. I currently also work as a veterinary assistant. I’m comfortable giving medications if needed. I’m also reliable and trustworthy. I’m going to be available on my days off. Depending on how well this goes I’m willing to be more time at my current job. I’m just looking for somthing with a more flexible schedule. I take direction well and adapt quickly to changing environments. I’ll coordinate with the pet parent beforehand to how they want their pet taken care of and go on from there.

About: I’ve been working with dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic German Shepherds—since I was 15 years old. Growing up surrounded by dogs, my love for them has only grown stronger over the years. Each with their own unique personality and needs. Whether it’s going on long walks, managing feeding schedules, or giving plenty of playtime and affection, dogs have always been a part of my daily life. I’ve also provided pet sitting for friends and family while they’re away, making sure their pups are happy, safe, and well-loved. Being around dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s a passion and a joy. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. Right now, I’m on summer vacation, which means I have plenty of flexible time to dedicate fully to walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for your dogs. I’m committed to providing consistent attention and affection, making sure every walk and visit fits seamlessly into their needs and energy levels. Having extra time means I can offer more personalized care and make sure your pets feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize creating a calm and safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow their established routines closely, including feeding schedules, playtime, and any special needs or instructions the owners provide. I make sure to give plenty of attention, affection, and companionship, while also respecting each pet’s space and personality. Keeping the home tidy—such as cleaning litter boxes or picking up after dogs—is important to me, so everything stays fresh and welcoming. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel confident and at ease while they’re apart.

About: I live with 2 cat. They are both my own cats and I’ve had Milo since he was about 8 weeks old, he’s shy at first but opens up. I’ve had Luna since she was 6 weeks old, I’m still learning how she behaves. I love animals! I am glad to take care and make sure dog/ cat is treated right and has the best care (: you can trust me to make sure they are getting well taken care of and having the best care. I’m looking to make a little cash not only the reason I’m doing this but I like playing with dogs and cats, and taking care of them!(: just know they are going to be in safe hands and feel like they are at home and not mistreated! I will make sure they eat & used the bathroom and are being played with and feeling loved. Thank you for trusting me and just know you pick the right person! Have a good day! Thanks I am currently finding my last semester of college, so I have time throughout the week and sometimes weekends it depends to babysit your loving animal. My cats are always inside because I don’t trust letting them outside alone and when I do let him outside they are in a pet backpack or stroller.

“Highly recommend! Took care of our 3 dogs while we were away and very tentative to instructions. Communicated perfectly if we needed adjustments and our dogs were so excited to walk with her when she arrived at our house. Will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you Keiona!”
