Dog Walkers in Monte Rio, CA

“Amanda has a wonderful calming energy with dogs. My shy dog warmed up to her immediately and trusted her. She is punctual, thoughtful and definitely “gets” dogs. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”

“Another great Willa Walk week! Exceptional care especially with providing extra care and love while Miss Willa heals from her hiking injury last week which resulted in an emergency room visit with suture procedure. Andrea truly is a Willa whisperer and just so talented, caring, and a natural intuit. Huzzah!”

“I did not physically cross paths with Alexis however it seems everything went smoothly and my pup seemed so happy to make a new friend. Will book again!”

“Jamie is really great! A dog whisperer. Our reactive dog warms up to her right away. She was able to hold his leash and pet him on first meeting. Awesome! Our dog will definitely continue having walks with her. She’s going to be his new walking person for sure.”

“Caleb is a super easy going and reliable dog walker. He has a calm presence, and my dog always seems more relaxed after spending some time with him. Would highly recommend him looking after your doggo!”

“Devan has taken care of Koda, my sweet retriever when I was away for vacation several times. Every time he was easy to work with and Koda really likes him. He sent me pictures of them on hikes and Koda looked really happy. I know my Koda is well taken care of with Devan and that made my vacations so much more enjoyable feeling that peace of mind. I highly recommend Devan for dog sitting.”

About: I currently have a cat named Kazuki I take care of. I also dog sit for two other family friends for two dogs, as well as a dog and cat! I am currently in school part time, so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pet! The only days I will not be available are Tuesday and Thursday’s. The rest of the days I am here to help care and play with your pet when you are unavailable so they can get the love they can get while you’re away! When I am at a client’s home I make sure fencing is secured if needed. My home has a fence as well. I also make sure they have enough place to play whether it could be inside or out. I prefer to be outside with them! I love being active with animals but if you’re pet is somewhat a couch potato OR old, I can comfort them in whatever way they feel comfortable.

“Thank you for taking such great care of Riley! She's not used to being walked by strangers but she was a happy dog when I got home and sure looked happy in her photos from the park! I will definitely rebook the next time I need a someone to walk her!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was in my teens. I was an assistant to an equine vet and have trained horses my entire life. I love dogs and cats and am good at reading their body language. I’m trustworthy and dependable. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to do extra work. I’m a single mom and am looking for extra income doing what I enjoy. I am extremely vigilant about doors and gates being shut completely. I respect the owners wishes. I treat homes of others as I would my own home.

“Alison is so wonderful! We are very thankful to have found her through Rover. She is so prompt and a joy to communicate with. My dog enjoys his time with her and loves his walks around our neighborhood.”

“Toni provided excellent care on the many occasions she took care of my animals. She was able to handle several dogs, a cat and a bird. She may have even fed the chickens (and enjoyed the eggs)! I always felt secure going away when I could have her taking care of my family of feathers and furs.”

“Angelina is absolutely fabulous with animals! I have a cat she cared for when my twins were young. She’s extra attentive about giving quality time. She sends photos to give peace of mind. She has a magic touch where animals walk up to her to be petted and comforted. Her warmth is magnetic. She is also very cleanly in the home and picks up. She goes the extra mile. She puts care into everything she does. Angelina is the BEST!”

About: I’ve had a pack my whole life. We are currently only home to one pup and we thought we might do some Doggie day care to fill the hole left in our hearts when our Zoey and Nora crossed the rainbow bridge. We recently returned to our home in Occidental after 18 months in Vermont. Since I’m in between jobs, and we have all this space, I though we would do a little doggie day care. I have a fenced acre yard and multiple kennels for pups who like the security of a crate. We also do some crate training and basic command training.

“Emma was very kind and loving towards my dog she's very knowledgeable about animals, is very dependable, she also groomed my dog her years of grooming experience and veterinary experience and overall love for caring of animals really shines thru in her passion for her work it's good to know my Dog is safe in her hands and she'd be able to recognize any signs of distress I'd definitely use her services again ❤️”

“Jonathan is a loving caretaker for your pet. Upon our first meeting we decided on a quick meet and greet so he could be introduced to our dog. I wanted to be sure that the person watching her would be a good fit. My dog loved him. Jonathan understands the needs of the animal and gives them the proper love and treatment. He's super friendly and easy to talk to. Plus, will give you texts and photos of their visits while you're away. It puts you at ease. Any animal would be lucky to have Jonathan as their caretaker.”

“Kaiel took my sweet but reactive pup out for a walk and fed her dinner while I was out of town. Kaiel was super responsive to all my messages, came over for a meet and great ahead of time, was really great with my pup, and sent lot of photos and a nice message after the walk. I highly recommend!”
