Dog Walking Majors

About: I understand the various and complex needs of dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes, and reactivity. As someone with a high energy large breed dog I have specific experience with dogs that need a little more to get their energy out. I am confident that I will be more than able to get your pup that care that it needs to be happy and healthy. I am a college student that is currently home for the summer. I have open availability and should be able to accommodate almost any busy schedule so your pet can get the care it requires. Your dogs safety is my number one priority. I would love to hear any specific needs that your pet may have and will do everything in my power to accommodate them. I have experience with very large/strong dogs as well as reactive or high energy pups. My goal is to create a walk that meets the specific requirements of your dog and ensures that they are safe and comfortable.

“Jennifer did an amazing job getting our super timid dog to be comfortable with her and with walking our two dogs. She was prompt and very communicative. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a dog walker!”

“Skye , is a lovely professional dog walker. My dog Scooby warmed up to her right away. After just a few days of service Scooby is now very excited to see her knowing a good walk is on the way. He can tell she’s an animal person. Skye is easy to communicate with, friendly and very professional. Can’t say enough of what a find skye is on rover. Happy new customer, highly recommend!”

“My shepherd mix lives his walks with Jasmine. He likes long walks and Jasmine sometimes takes him beyond my requested walk so he gets all the exercise!”

Jim C.

“I highly recommend Carmen. She came to walk our puppy Larry. She came over to meet him and get an understanding of his needs. She sent updates, photos, and feedback. Shes communicative and friendly. I’d hire her again.”

Theresa S.

“We have loved Emily, she is responsive, always on time and takes our little guy for great walks, he comes home ready to rest. She is professional, kind and reliable. Highly recommend”

“Sam was great to work with! Super flexible for both the meet and greet and walk. She gave us a detailed rover card with photos, and was clearly working on our dog listening to her on the walk. Plus, she brought him treats from the Seattle barkery! :) will book again for sure.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have dog walked, house sat for dogs, and helped trained my sister’s puppy. I share a special bond with dogs! I currently am only working part-time, so I will be able to be very attentive with the dog. I can take for multiple walks a day, be active, and even help train more. I live in a condo at the moment with no yard, so I will mostly be taking them for walks or find ways to be active outside of the home. I can crate them in your home if needed, and won’t let them in furniture or beds.

“Samantha was, energetic, communicative, and lovely! Daisy (my fur baby) was super wags and smiles when they got back. Will be booking again!”

“Amanda was amazing with my dog, Luna. She took her on long walks and Luna came back tired and a very happy camper. It’s clear that Amanda is wonderful with dogs and genuinely cares about them. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“Meghan was great! She was able to take out puppy on a walk on pretty short notice and Daisy came home so happy. Will definitely try to use her again!!”

About: I've been pet sitting for family and friends forever and like to say I am pretty reliable. I also have experience with farm animals as I have raised a few myself. Animals tend to like me, what can I say I have a way with them. I am currently a student at UCSC. My schedule is pretty set for the next 3 months. I am open to working holidays as my family don't celebrate. I have a smaller apartment that I share with others. One of my roommate is a fellow pet sitter. I have all the equipment required to care for another cat temporarily.

“Rachel is a great walker. She has been walking our 2 10 month old GSC pups for about 6 months every day now and has been aiding in training during walks. We definitely reccomend Rachel for her above and beyond efforts, dependability, and character! Keep up the great work and thank you for everything your doing!”

Robert N.

“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”

About: I have had experience with feeding my friends and neighbors cats when they were away on vacation, but nothing professional. I do not have any training skills, but have dealt with temperamental cats who do not like sharing their space. I have had dogs and cats in my family since I was a child. We had small dogs as well as medium/large dogs and cats. I currently have 2 cats at home! I work full time Monday - Friday so this would be causal meetings and walks. I can feed them dinner or hang with them on week nights. That could be playing with them at their home, taking them to a dog park, or taking them for a walk. My weekends are wide open and I can hang out with your little dude whenever you need :). Unless otherwise specified in my schedule! I live in a one bedroom apartment that is quite spacious with a patio. There are cat toys and scratch posts everywhere. The patio is a catio, which is equipped with cat towers and cat grass. I play fetch with my tempermental boy because it gets his energy out very quickly and he LOVES it. My girly girl is very easy and plays with almost anything. I am more than happy to play with your kitty however they would like. For dogs, I will hang out and play with them at their house or take them to a dog park to get fresh air and more room to run. Fetch is a favorite as well as tug of war! I can take them on long walks around the neighborhood or the beach if the owner is ok with that!

About: I’ve got experience dog-sitting, and dog-walking, as well as living with dogs and love when I get the chance to take care of them. I’ve had a dog my entire life until her recent passing and have loved and cared for all animals even before I got one. I’m incredibly comfortable with dogs of all sizes, types, and temperaments. This includes sick dogs with medication, senior pups, and various exercise needs. I have saved my dog from a life-threatening attack and provided intensive care, so I work well in a potentially contentious environment. I’m a full time student but my schedule is incredibly loose. I get to choose when I work on my senior project and go to class so I’m available whenever essentially. I only have to be in class Monday and Wednesday from 5-7! Other than that feel free to schedule me. I have a wonderful medium sized fenced yard and live close to Westlake park which has ample grass and play area. My roommates do live with me but are comfortable with the situation and all dog-friendly!

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and all ages! I grew up training and caring for a strong and stubborn German Shepherd. In the past few years, I’ve lived with a Retriever puppy - training him to be a sociable young man that goes potty outside. I’m the go-to for my friends and family when it comes to pet sitting. They trust me with their fur babies and appreciate how I maintain the routine their pet is familiar with. I work fully remote, so I have lots of flexibility when it comes to walks, playtime, and housesitting! On weekdays, I’m most available after 11:00am PT. I’m occasionally available on weekends! I want to care for your pet in the way you do! Please fill me in on their routine and their sensitivities! I want them to care for them in a way that feels familiar and safe.

About: My pets are my best friends and I understand how difficult it can be to find genuine care for them when work or trips get in the way, I want to offer your pets the care I would hope to find for my own. I’m an active and reliable sitter and walker and I pride myself on treating all animals with the respect they deserve. Aside from my own pets, many family friends have trusted me to care for both cats and dogs while they are on trips. I work well with high energy animals of any size or age. I have experience walking med-lg dogs such and beagles, labs, and golden retrievers. I also have walked smaller dogs such as schnauzers and pugs😁 I’m willing to take pets outside of the neighborhood to a beach or nearby trail if your dog is adventurous! I love working shy cats, active cats, and lazy cats alike. Feline friends have such a distinct personality and I love getting to know them. I’m working part time and have plenty of availability to spend time with your pets in the afternoons and evenings! Weekends are a great time for me to spend longer hours making sure your pets get plenty of activity and care :) I do not offer my home for services. In your home, I prefer any supplies needed for your pet are left out so I can respect your space by only being present for your pet :)

About: I have had multiple dogs in my life, since I was born. Experienced in taking care of my dogs, friends dogs. I love to take them on walks and spend quality time with pets. I enjoy taking them to the park, beach, and trails. I grew up in Santa Cruz and graduated from Cal Poly SLO. I am currently job hunting, so I have ample time to take care of dogs! I am available through out the week and can flex to your schedule. I am a very respectful person and will listen effectively to boundaries and follow pet care instructions thoroughly. I have attention to detail and I am professional.

About: I’ve always loved animals and can’t imagine life without them. While I’m not in a position to have a pet of my own right now, caring for other people’s pets is a great way for me to spend time with the animals I love. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes. I’m very comfortable around strong breeds and understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need. I also have experience with puppies and basic training. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I’m attentive to their individual routines and happy to follow whatever instructions you leave for me. I have many years of house sitting experience around the world, so I understand how important it is to take good care of both your home and your pets. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals. Whether your pet needs a little exercise, companionship, playtime, or simply someone to give them some extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to be that person. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work remotely Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so I’m home and have a flexible schedule for most of the day. I’m also generally home on weekends. This makes me available for house sitting and daytime check-ins, with plenty of flexibility to work around your pet’s routine. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my longer in-person workdays, when I’m typically away from home from about 8 AM–5 PM. I’m unable to host pets in my home because pets aren’t permitted at my residence. I’m happy to provide loving care, walks, and drop-in visits at your home.
