Dog Walkers in Mountain Center, CA

“Julie is fantastic. She took great care of our gal Mesa for an afternoon while Mom and Dad were playing in the mountains. She clearly loves dogs, both hers and others, and is a pleasure to meet and work with. We will certainly use her again when an all-day adventure comes calling next. Thanks Julie!!!”

About: I am truly a die hard dog lover and I treat every dog as if it were my own. I currently have two dogs and I know how it feels to have to entrust another person to care for them in the same way you would. I've had pets (cats & dogs) my entire life. All animals are different, like humans, and my approach is to provide a bespoke experience to make her/his/their time with me the best ever! As much information as you can share about your pet the better I can create the ultimate vacation for your furbaby! Walks, hikes, dog park, relax and chill, bathing, Play dates, beach, … Pick-up & Drop-off is included in my rate complimentary. I can provide references as well for your comfortability. Thank you! I work from home and have a flexible work schedule so I can adjust my time to what is needed. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible. I have a large wrap around deck that is closed off with pet gates. I am outside if dogs are outside I am extremely mindful and present while with your pet.

About: I have house sat + pet sat for different animals from young and spunky, to wiser and older, and pets that were preparing to cross over the rainbow. I have sat for young dogs, senior dogs, and senior cats with special needs. I have professional experience in esthetics and art so it comes natural to me to have compassion, love, and care for creatures and humans! I always communicate with owners if ever there are any concerns or questions regarding their fur babe. I also love to take cute pet portraits on our walks of them in their natural states of happiness and send them to the owners so they know their animals are doing amazing and are in good hands, living their best dog or cat life! Currently, my availability is most flexible on Saturday evenings through Monday evenings for overnight stays and Thursdays for all day walks and check-ins if needed. The rest of the week I am available in the evenings and can accommodate for walks/check-ins. Just ask! I prefer to care for your pets in your home for overnight stays as your pet is already familiar with its surroundings, scents, and all their usual comforts. I find it more comfortable for the pet especially as most pets will miss their people, naturally! I provide all the snuggles and space they need depending on how the animal is feeling, lots of walks, treats and little adventures so that they are always having a good time. Building a relationship on trust with animals is something that I aim for from the beginning!

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I started watching my family friend’s and mutual’s furbabies and I love it! I’ve been caring for pets other than my own for about 3 years now. I am not working a job at the time so I am pretty open as long as I have some time in advance to clear! I feel very comfortable in going in to other people’s houses while respecting their space and caring for the animals according to their schedules. I have done this for several people before!

About: My wife and I have always had various pets in our homes from dogs to reptiles. My wife Amanda has over 5 years experience in the pet care industry from grooming to administering oral medications. I am a disabled Veteran and a stay at home dad so I have plenty of time to check-in, visit or care for your fur babies. My wife has a flexible schedule and spends her free time at home caring for all our animals. When caring for pets—whether in my own home or a client’s home—I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment above all else. I ensure each pet is in a secure space free from hazards and always follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and medication. Building trust is essential, so I take time to connect with each animal, learning their personality and comfort level to help them feel relaxed and happy.

I am available most all days and I am able to work with your schedule. I have a fenced yard that your fur babies can run around and use the potty. I have two cats, a 8 month puppy and a little senior dog. I can separate the cats if need be. I have a large kennel if that is what you prefer. I also have enough space if you need to bring your own crate or kennel. I am open to any needs you may have.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets! From fish to birds to dogs, I love them all. I have experience taking care of puppies and also senior dogs, like my pup of 14 years. I’d love to make sure your pal is well taken care of! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friends! I’m available most days and am fully willing to work with your schedules! My home is fully fenced in front and back yard so no worries about unwanted friends. I’m comfortable with adapting to what makes your pet comfortable, may that be more quality time, enrichment, outside time, or whatever they may need.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and for the past 13 years I’ve been consistently caring for my own pups. Over the years I’ve worked with just about every breed you can imagine: Terriers, Huskies, Dobermans, Pitbulls, Boxers, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Labs, Schnauzers, Poodles, Pomeranians, Border Collies, German Shepherds, Great Pyrenees, and more. No matter the size, age, or personality, I love getting to know each dog and what makes them happiest. At home, my wife and I share life with two Huskies and a cat, who we treat like our kids (yes birthdays and all!). Because I know how important our pets are to us, I extend the same level of love, patience, and care to every pet I look after. I come prepared with tandem leashes, a pet stroller, and standard leashes for walks of all kinds. I always pick up after your pup and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time outside. For peace of mind, I’ve completed First Aid & CPR training (through both college and my career), and I stay up-to-date on general emergency response. While my certifications are human-focused, my training has given me the ability to quickly assess situations and take action; whether that means recognizing signs of overheating, making sure hydration is available, or adjusting for temperature and activity levels. I’m also OSHA certified, which means safety and awareness are second nature to me. Your pets will be in caring, capable hands, and I’ll treat them like my own from the moment we meet. I currently work a full-time government job. My wife is a teacher, so our lives are pretty busy. I am looking to do this as a part-time and enjoy combining a few things I enjoy: pets and exercise. Current Schedule: I get up around Noon, on the days I work (Wed, Thurs, Friday, Sat, Sun) I work from 6PM to 6AM. I will only accept care appointments between 1PM and 4:30PM. On Monday and Tuesday I will accept care appointments between 1PM and 6PM. Currently boarding is off the tables since my wife and I are busy. But I can make drop-in visits! In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they always have access to fresh water, healthy food on schedule, clean bedding, and plenty of love and attention. I keep playtime safe but fun, and I’m mindful of the temperature, hydration, and overall comfort of every pet in my care. My own pets get birthday celebrations, vitamins, and daily exercise, and I extend that same level of care to visiting pets. In a client’s home, I respect your routines and follow instructions closely so your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. That means sticking to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes or outdoor areas, refreshing water bowls, and making sure walks, playtime, and cuddle time happen as you prefer. I also handle clean-up (messes, accidents, fur, or litter) so your home is just as you left it. My goal in either setting is to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in capable and loving hands.
