Sarah was great with our dogs! She was very patient getting them to warm up to her and took one for an extra long walk to give more time for them to do their business. Highly recommend, would book her again

About: I grew up on a farm in England with working dogs, which gave me a love for animals and led me to a life working professionally with them. After 32 years of running my own pet care business in Los Angeles, I relocated to the Coachella Valley where I continue to walk, exercise, and socialize dogs, while also working as a dog trainer. I'm available Monday thru Friday from 7am until 5pm, so we can work out walks and visits depending on your schedule and your dog's needs. Your dog will always be walked on leash, with the exception of fenced dog parks. Dogs can be crated during transport, if that makes them more comfortable. With my many years of experience, I know exactly how to work with dogs with a focus on the safety, calm, and happiness of the animal.

Fantastic experience with Mara getting our pupster back into the routine of her daily walk! Rarely have I seen our girl so happy about going for her walk; she literally glows her special smile when walking with Mara! Mara also takes the most interesting, artistic photos of our pupster and shares with us.

About: I can address the unique requirements of large and small breed dogs. I provide specialized care for senior and advanced senior dogs, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and healthy. I work full-time but seasonally at a large local hotel and my hours vary. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around calendar based obstacles. I find that most animals actually like to stay in their own yard, but if need be, I do have decent sized back yard and it is secured by brick walls / concrete barriers.

About: I have had my own dogs since I was a new born. The first were big dogs. A golden retriever and a brittney spaniel. As of currently my family consists of 3 little doggies and a hognose snake. Rags is my wired haired Doxie, Archie is my Chihuahua terrier mix, and Tessa is relatively unknown but we think she’s a corgi mixed with a chihuahua. My hognose is named morty. I rescued that love bug from his very forgetful (previous) owner. I’m working part time and I also door dash, Uber, instacart. I strive for my ability to be independent. I usually work my butt off for three days and stay home with the animals for the rest of the week. I figure spending more time with my animals I’d be happier. I am happier. Animals are like a zen zone for me. They’re easier to talk to and be playful self with. I keep my dogs food and water replenished. For my neighbors dogs that I occasionally watch from time and time again dude to her surgeries, I make sure they go out every 3 hours and I don’t feed them till 8am and 6 pm every day.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for at least 10 years, mostly with having my own. I know they are a big part of our families and how much we love and care for them. I am great with playing and cuddling and walking and absolutely love it. I currently work from home and so I have plenty of time to schedule dog walks, care and dog sits according to what is needed. I have a large green belt, that is very private. It is not fenced, but I have the ability to take the dogs out as much as needed. I also live in a very nice area where I have many trails and beautiful areas to walk.

About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was 7 years old. I had pet sat dogs and cats; puppies and kittens. I pay attention to your pets body language and cues to make sure they are well and happy. I am a university student currently with lots of free time!

I check on what your pet usually touches like food bowls, potty pads, etc., and refill and maintain as needed.

About: I have always had animals. From cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. From babies to elders. My love for animals has always been a source of joy in my life and I would love to care for yours too! I did just have a baby over the summer so I would have him in tow with me at visits. I am a stay at home mom of a beautiful daughter and newborn son, 2 dogs and 3 cats. I am available to come by as needed to ensure your babies are taken care of. I am very diligent in following directions to ensure your pets safety and your peace of mind. My pets at home are treated like they are my children and I know you feel the same about yours.

Marisa has been amazing! She’s kind, reliable, and someone I trust with Luna. She’s always on time, communicates clearly, and sends plenty of updates and photos which I really appreciate. She also respects all the routines and rules I’ve set, and checks in if she has any questions... I feel at ease knowing Luna is in such good hands.

About: I am a true animal lover. I grew up in the Midwest on a small farm, so I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I have had dogs my whole life and love having them around. My husband and I owned a Boxer mix named Roxie for 9 years. She was like family, however she passed away recently from a 3 year battle with Cushings Disease. We are not yet ready for another, however I miss the companionship with a dog. I am perfectly fit for this job, as I love and appreciate all the time I get with dogs/animals. I am comfortable with all breeds. Your pet will be treated like family, and I look forward to hosting all sorts of dogs!
