Dog Walking Lakeville

“Cora has been such a great, reliable dog walker for us. She always showed up, communicated well, and took great care of our dogs. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in hiring her for your pets needs!”

“Erin is amazing! She is responsible, punctual, and communicative. I scheduled walks with Erin at a time when things were really hectic in my personal life and I needed the extra support. Knowing that Erin was taking care of Ellie during this stressful time eased a lot of my own stress and allowed me to show up for other things with one less thing to worry about. Truly grateful. Thank you, Erin!”

“Savannah is communicative, responsive, and professional! She walked our dog and did a great job and we look forward to her doing more dog walks for us in the future!”

About: Hi, my name is Stacy and I am an avid dog lover and owner! Hi! My name is Stacy, and I’m an avid dog lover and proud dog owner! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, with most of my experience centered around dog walking and providing attentive, reliable care. I’m also a proud owner of a four-year-old Border Collie–Lab mix, so I understand firsthand the importance of keeping dogs happy, active, and well cared for! I am available during the mornings, afternoons, and evening or overnight dog sitting. I also have transportation, so happy to take your dog to the park or beach! I will make sure that your loved pet feels trusted and comfortable when in my care. I will be consistently monitoring to ensure that everything goes smoothly and safe.

About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.

About: I am a ex-corporate zombie that has embraced my love of nature and animals. I have owned dogs my entire life and have volunteered at several rescues and training facilities. I am conscientious, loving and go above and beyond. I live in a great area with an abundance of amazing outdoor adventures or a lazy stroll down the walking paths. If your pooch is adventurous, let's go on a hike. A dog vacation wouldn't be complete without playing ball, hiking, trail running, I can accommodate any level of adventure. One-on-one service is my priority, as piece of mind should be yours. Cats: I love cats and offer cat house sitting as well as dog sitting! I'm to visit your kitty while you're away. I currently work from home and will accommodate what schedule your pet currently has. There will be times that I will need to leave, but it will be a short time out of the house. I always but collar/harness and leash on before exiting the house. Having a set of guidelines from the owner is helpful, every dog is different on what they enjoy on a walk.

“Oli has been such a help for both overnight house sitting and quick workday walks. She is respectful of all my requests, very communicative and helpful. Best of all, she is so great with my large, energetic German shepherd dog. I’m so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her services.”

About: I spend time with my friend's dogs just for fun. I have been taking care of animals most of my life. Animals inherently trust me, and I just completely adore them. I am active, love running with dogs, love playing with them, and love cuddling them. I worked on a farm as well for a year, and took care of 60 animals, so I am used to working hard for animals, and thoroughly enjoy it! I have not met a dog I didn't like, and I am good with all different breeds and sizes. I love the dog park, it is a slice of heaven for me, and I would spend every day there if I was able to. Hope to hear from you. Thanks!

“Christiana was absolutely wonderful during her time with Dory. I booked her for a walk and got no less than three pictures and updates during and after the walk. I have never felt more comfortable with my dog in the care of another person. If I could give more than a five star rating, I would have. I cannot wait to use her spectacular services again!”

I am a yoga facilitator and artist focused on intentional living. I love nature wanders and being present with all creatures I get to encounter.

I stay observant and responsive, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. In your home or mine, I follow each pet’s routine with care—feeding, walks, meds, play, and rest. I create a calm, safe space and stay attentive to their needs, keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have hands-on experience with puppies who need routine, positive reinforcement, and plenty of play, as well as senior pets who benefit from slower walks and extra attentiveness.

About: I am empathetic towards others and have a soft spot for all animals. I am a friendly, loving, energetic person who owns 2 dogs and one bunny. Simba the bunny is 3 years old, my 12 year old schnoodle named Coco and my 6 year old Pitbull named Bella. I enjoy walking Coco in downtown or the beach, after 3 knee surgeries she can't keep up like before. Bella and I on the other hand enjoy taking long hikes or walks across town. Bella can be reactive with other dogs so I do have experience handling dogs who are anxious. I have successful trained puppies in basic commands such as to sit, stay, shake hands, and roll over. I believe it is important to spend time to stimulate the mind by teaching them new tricks. The smallest dog I have dog sat was a 5lb Yorki and the biggest dog weighed in at 65lbs. I do feel comfortable caring for all dog sizes and all dog ages. I'm currently working part-time and once we agree on a schedule I will be committed to sticking to it as I know the importance of structure for a dog. I like to have the dog/cat feel as comfortable as possible. Giving them time to adjust to me. I ask specific questions about feeding time, how and when. I have my dogs on a schedule and my day flows a lot smoother. When walking I like to make sure they are calm and following my commands before we start our walk. I don't just walk your dog I study them, look for cues of anxiety, nervousness or stress. Something I often do with my dog Bella. Because of how she reacts to other dogs I find places and times of the day she won't have many distractions so we can both enjoy the walk.
