Dog Walking Lucerne Valley

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.

About: Since graduating the exotic animal training and management program in 2011 I've trained, walked, medicated, clipped nails\beaks, brushed, bathed, and loved every type of animal whether they have fur, scales, or feathers. I'm currently self employed so I'll have time to work your furbaby into my schedule no problem. I can train, exercise, walk, or play dates, to drop ins and over nights. Currently I can only come over to your residence to play or watch your furkiddos, and will follow all rules you abide by to gather\drop them off. If staying overnight I am respectful of your residence, and will clean up before leaving so you can come home and relax with your pet kiddos

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

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds over the years and genuinely love being around animals. I’m a stay-at-home wife, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to give your pet plenty of time and attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own—whether that’s walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I am unable to do overnight stays, but I’m a stay-at-home wife, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. This allows me to give your pet consistent attention and stick closely to their routine. I also have a Labrador Retriever, so I’m very used to daily exercise, structure, and giving pets the time and care they need. I provide a calm, safe environment and always respect your home and your pet’s space. I have a Labrador Retriever, so I’m experienced with handling energetic dogs as well as understanding different personalities. I’m attentive whether your pet is playful, shy, or independent, and I’ll follow all instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and care. I’ll also keep you updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Linsey did loving and caring work, taking care of my 5 yr old German Shepherd. Reported in every appointment, and send pictures and report of activity. It surely was a pleasure having her take care of my dog. Highly recommended!”

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: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. Family and friends have always trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I truly enjoy giving them the love and attention they deserve. Hey there! My name is Mariah. I’m currently a junior at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB), studying Cybersecurity. My schedule is generally open unless I have a booked sitting or walking, or my calendar shows that I’m unavailable. Please be sure to send me a message or request a couple of weeks in advance for bookings or meet-and-greets, as some months can get quite busy. Make sure to get your request in early! Thank you so much for your interest in me—I truly appreciate it! When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I follow all instructions given by the owner closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their comfort levels and personalities. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I ensure pets are fed on time, walked or let out for bathroom breaks, and given enrichment through play, mental stimulation, and companionship. I keep their living area clean by refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up waste, and maintaining a tidy space. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. For walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, paying close attention to the environment, and adjusting the walk based on the pet’s energy level, age, and weather conditions. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to make their time with me feel fun, comfortable, and full of care.

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!

About: I have been in the pet industry wearing a variety of many hats. Dog trainer, kennel assistant, and vet assistant. I am properly trained on giving oral medication and wound care, and always will put your pets comfort as my top priority. I take pride in the love and compassion I give to each and every animal, and treat each pet accordingly due to their needs and personality!! Animal care has been my passion since I was a young girl, and I am actually going to college for biological animal sciences! I look forward to working with you! I will always be there to make sure your pet is taken care of. I have an open schedule and flexibility, as I am a college student. If something conflicts with my schedule I will always give notice. I treat your pets like my family, and I will always give them my first priority. Constant potty breaks!! Once every half hour or hour depending on need. I make sure that food and water bowls are clean and disinfected, and I always make sure your pet has clean water. I make sure each pet is comfortable with me, allowing them to approach me first. I am a quiet person, so loud noises wouldn't be a problem for your pet. I always make sure to give tons of love and play time too!! I try to stick to whatever schedule is given to me as well.

“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 love animals. They deserve the world and that's why I'm here for you. I have pets of my own and understand the need to know that your babies are in good hands. I have experience with large dogs, small dogs, cats, birds. Sneaking medicine in treats. Baby talking them. IPad pets too. I have 3 days off at the end of the week and am available to come and hang out with your babies. Walks, Feeding, cleaning their areas. All my cats are indoor cats. Safety and health is my number 1 priority for them. I know the anxiety of leaving a door open so I will make sure they are always safe.

About: I love dogs and have always been around them. Ever since I can remember my family has had a dog in our family. A few months ago my childhood dog bestfriend, Ollie, died of cancer. We have recently gained another member of the family, Luna. She’s an Australian Shepherd and my new bestfriend. She lives 4 hours away with my family in my hometown. So, being around other animals while i’m at school brings me so much joy. My availability hours depend on my school schedule but my class hours for this semester are set and not changing. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday’s, I am available after 12 PM, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available in between 10:40 and 1:40 and then completely free after 4:20 PM. As a school-based occupational therapist, I’m available for pet care after school on weekdays, as well as evenings, overnights, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. My schedule allows me to provide reliable evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and plenty of attention when I’m with your pets. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your furry family members receive the care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medications to favorite walking routes and bedtime routines. As a pet parent myself to two cats and a corgi, I understand how important trust is, and I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own while keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages.

About: Ever since I can remember, I loved animals. I have always had animals in my home since I was young and taking care of them comes naturally. I helped a few of my dogs with their litters. I also helped my aunt with her blind dog like I said I love animals and I’m here to help with whatever you need. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am available seven days a week to help you with your needs. I have a fenced yard so plenty of room for your dogs to play. I have two small dogs. One was a rescue. My dogs are inside dogs and are crated at night for bedtime.

“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.”

About: I provide reliable care for both cats and dogs backed by years of hands-on work. My goal is a comfortable, no-stress experience for both you and your pet. I’ve worked with several animal rescues over the years and regularly foster animals in need. I’ve handled animals with many kinds of special needs, from bottle-feeding kittens to administering mediations to seniors. I also care for feral cats, so animals who are feisty don’t faze me! I truly love getting to know each pet I watch and making them feel as comfortable as possible while their family is away. I do my best to keep your pet(s) on their usual routine while you’re away, and always provide them with loving care. I’m patient and adaptable, personalizing care to each pet, whether that means playtime, cozy snuggles, or just keeping a calm presence nearby. I’m happy to communicate updates as much or as little as you prefer, and will send you photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and comfortable. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or special requests. I’m always open to discussing pricing, availability or anything else you’d like more information on. Talk soon! I work remotely from home. Caring for pets and spending time with them is something I have the luxury of doing throughout the day. The other work I do is flexible so caring for animals is my top priority. When boarding your pet, I provide a dedicated, comfortable space just for them, with everything they need to feel safe and at home. Each pet gets their own room (unless there are multiple from the same household) in a sanitized area, complete with cozy bedding, toys, and anything specific to their care. For dogs, I have a spacious, secure backyard where they can enjoy playtime and walks. I take the time to ensure they’re comfortable, relaxed, and loved while they’re away from home. When caring for your pet at your home, I stick to their routine, including feeding, medication, and plenty of playtime and affection. I respect your home and any guidelines you provide, making sure your pet feels safe, secure, and cherished while you’re away. And if you’d like, I’ll gladly share photo or video updates with you! I know how hard it is missing your babies when you’re away, and I’d love to help you feel at ease and show you they’re being well cared for.

“Aly did a great job watching our two dogs Laika and Puma. We don’t often leave our dogs with strangers and so we were a bit anxious but she was very accommodating and understanding. She took care of them in her beautiful back yard while we were at a party. It was nice to know they had someone giving them love and attention away from home while we could not be there. Thanks, Aly!”
