Dog Walkers in Oro Grande, CA

About: I spent every summer on my grandparents’ farm, caring for furry, scaly, and feathered friends. Those experiences taught me early on how to give animals the love, attention, and proper care they deserve. Today, I bring that same experience and compassion to every pet I look after—offering reliable care, plenty of playtime, and lots of cuddles whenever you need. I work from home and am a mom to twin 1-year-old girls, so my days are busy but full of love—and flexible enough to give plenty of attention to pets. I’m home throughout the day for cuddles, playtime, and care. My cousin also works from home, so we make a great team—your furry pals will always have extra eyes on them and plenty of company. It’s a happy, lively home where pets get lots of love and attention all day long. I have a fully fenced yard with separate areas for playful or shy pups, plus indoor dog-friendly spaces. My two friendly dogs provide companionship, and I have large crates for pets needing quiet time. Every pet in my care stays safe, comfortable, and happy.

Things I would like to know for a safe, trusting and successful stay! - Is your doggy sick and/or contagious?* - Interesting habits that would be helpful to know (humping, chewing on paws, separation anxiety, excessive barking etc.) - Current or past illnesses, injuries, or traumatic history/triggers - If they are taking any medication or require any special care instructions - Is your pup up-to-date on vaccinations and flea & tick medication?

“Dan is the MOST DEDICATED dog walker I’ve ever experienced! He was fast with reply’s and came over as soon as I booked. He brought a potty bag and water for my dog and also checked the weather and the cement just to make sure it was safe for her to walk with her bare paws. On the walk a BIG dog ran out of its owners garage and tried to attack Candy, but thanks to Dans superior skills he was able to respectfully and professionally keep it in one spot until the owner was able to retrieve their unleashed pet. Dan brought her back immediately and explained the situation fearful she may have been injured, but no, Candy got away just fine and SuperDan saved the day with minor scrapes. He was very sincere in apologizing for the incident and refunded the walk. YOU WONT FIND MORE DEDICATION! 10/5 stars. Thank you Dan!”

About: I just moved to SoCal from Colorado to begin a PhD program in physiology and biophysics at UC Irvine. I have flexible working and remote classroom hours which allows me to stop in for home visits or walks during the day, cuddle with your pup at home while studying in the evening, or stay in your home while you’re enjoying a beach, ski trip, cruise, work conference in a swanky hotel, or whatever is keeping you away from your beloved fur-child. I have trained puppies in their first stages of becoming important epilepsy alert service dogs, three of my own babes from puppy on, including my current best friend who has intense anxiety, so I have a plethora of breed and behavioral experience and am always happy to give advise and help! I am also certified in domestic animal (and human) CPR and emergency first aid should any unforeseen events occur while you’re away. I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, from a shit zu named Oreo to an ornery 125lbs golden named Cali, indoor and outdoor cats that would torment everyone in the house, cuddly rats, stubborn farm stock, boring hermit crabs; you name it!! Cali was my first puppy on my own, my first baby and was 8 weeks old when I adopted her and used google as my guide to train her. She turned into the biggest love bug, considerate, and tender girl. Everybody that ever met her fell in love immediately because of her heart. I lost Cali a couple of years ago and nursed her needs as an elderly dog. She became incontinent, lost use of her back legs so I had to support them and walk with her anywhere she wanted or needed to go, including to potty, and had to give her both oral and injected medications for many years. Going through this created a very special place in my heart for elderly dogs, so if you entrusted yours in my care, know they will get the same love and compassion I gave my sweet Cali. My best friend now is a border collie/Newfoundland mix named Pe’ahi, who is way to smart for her own good and has been the best travel and backcountry Jeeping buddy!

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.

“Very friendly, and showed my dog, Luke, lots of love. He seemed happy and got a good walk. Melissa was good with communication and seemed to be available a lot of the time, so far, so, make sure you book now while you have the chance.”
