Dog Walkers in Pasatiempo, CA

About: I grew up in the country with many different animals, mostly rescues. I am very familiar and comfortable with caring for and training many different animals. I currently do independent work dictated by my own schedule. I am usually pretty flexible and able to take last minute requests for walks, pet care and training. I don't offer pet care in my home but I try to accommodate the unique needs of every animal with sensitivity and compassion. I'm very used to a wide range of animals, mostly rescues and some formerly abused animals.

About: Lifelong cat lover at your service! I’ve had cats my whole life and truly understand their unique personalities, quirks, and cuddles.

I have recently taken a break from my full time job and my schedule is fully open to take care of your little kitties for when you need an extra hand.

About: Hi, I'm Jenn! Having six years of experience as a vet tech, six years of experience caring for pets professionally, and caring for my personal furry companions animals for over 6o years, I bring an exceptional blend of experience, care, and responsibility to my pet care. I have a huge heart for cats and dogs and love to see them happy in their environment. My sensitive nature allows me to be highly attuned to animals and their needs. Others have often commented on my ability to anticipate the needs of people and animals before they are aware of them. I believe in the health and wellbeing of all living things. When your animal is under my care, you can be assured they are receiving the nurturing and care they deserve. I am available for walking, visits, boarding, and more. Please inquire for your particular needs and desires for your pet in your absence. I would be happy to keep your pet loved and safe while you are away. Injections, special needs, training/rehabilitation I am in a very open and expansive time currently in life. I am widely available round the clock for your pets needs. I am available daytime, evenings, and weekends. I do not have a fenced yard on the property I live on in the country, so when boarding with me, dogs will be on leash when outdoors. They will enjoy the many walks they will have around here. When at your home, I take care of your fur baby and belongs with the utmost respect and safety.

About: My first dogs were a Boerboel and a Great Dane. Since my husband is allergic, we now focus on non-shedding dogs. and were blessed to spend 2 wonderful years with our furbaby Thando. Thando was a poodle mix and suffered from MegaE and a number of other issues that led to him spending the last 6 months of his life with a feeding tube. While caring for a special needs dog was new for us, it has been the biggest blessing in our lives. We learned to enjoy each moment - running on the beach, tube-feeding at a winery, holding our furbaby up for long periods of time against regurgitation. After Mr T’s passing, we adopted a new furbaby into our family, Fritz. He is also a poodle and potentially Maltese mix who loves all dogs and people. About 8 months later, we adopted a sister for Fritz, Cleo. Cleo was already four years old when we adopted her but she is very playful and loves to wrestle with Fritz- even though she is three times his size. They are crazy about each other and have become inseparable. We love all sizes and ages of dogs, and would be happy to take your dog running or just chilling on the couch with us. We have a small fenced yard with a sandbox that we specially built for a home-based "dog beach", we are familiar with dog-friendly hikes, parks, restaurants and beaches in the area, and we would make your dog a part of our family for their stay. We'd love to meet you and your furbaby. I am home full-time with our two dogs (9 & 11 years) and two kids when they are not in school. We go for walks in the neighborhood or on the beach. I only look after dogs in my home and we only take non-shedding dogs. They become part of our family of two adults, two kids and two dogs.

About: Stemming from a childhood with German shepherds, I’ve loved being constantly surrounded by animals for most of my life. I have experience with dog walking, playing with other dogs, watching overnight, and can accommodate as needed! I have open availability with a preference toward mornings and afternoons. Specifically, available to dog walk in the morning and check-in throughout the day as needed. I can provide proper assurance as needed. I live in a home with plenty of backyard space for your pup to run around, and happy to run through specific safety features!

“David was professional, on time and good with communication. He did an awesome job walking our reactive pup while making sure she was comfortable.”

About: Hi everyone! I’m just starting out on Rover but I’ve been a dog lover since day one. I have experience with dogs both big and small, in urban landscapes and suburban. I am attuned to their varying levels of energy, motivations, and comforts, all of which lets me form a quick bond with them! I’m a full time student at the UC, and work a part time job. Unfortunately, our hours at work were cut so until September, my schedule is relatively light! College dorms and apartments dont exactly have an abundance of dogs so I’ve been lacking in animal love. I hope to get my fill on Rover! My dogs have always been a part of the family, so that’s how I treat them! On my dog walks, I like to let them sniff all they want (but no eating!), I have no problem jogging if they’ve got some zoomies, and above all, I just want them to feel satisfied and ready to rest when they return home. I respect dogs as much as I respect people!

“Jaden is dependable, always on time and does a great job walking my dog!”

“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!”

“Tyler is responsive and friendly. I appreciate the pictures and updates she includes at the end of the walks, and she even set up a fan for my pup after their walk on a really hot day. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with two spoiled cats and a soft spot for every dog I meet! I have been volunteering weekly at the shelter and want to incorporate even more dogs into my life. I’ve also completed dog behavior and handling classes to better understand canine body language and care. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m all about making pets feel safe, loved, and entertained while their humans are away. As a pet owner I know that it can be hard to leave your pet and I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I have a very flexible schedule and would like to be working as much as possible! I am available throughout the week from Monday through Friday. I live in an apartment with a very picky cat so I won't be bringing pets to my home but will be patient and loving with pets in their homes.

“Jade is an absolute gem to work with! She was so attentive to our elder dogs many detailed needs. She communicates frequently, asking questions and letting us know how our little ones are doing. She sends plenty of sweet photos and really exhibits so much care. I recommend her without hesitation!”

I am working remote, and will have plenty of time for your pets! I’m an early riser, and very active to fit your pets wants and needs!

About: I have owned big dogs my whole life. Two labs, a retriever and a Catahoula mix. I have never know my life without a dog in it. Since I was little I would help take care of the dogs. From them being puppies to elderly dogs. I have watched my own dogs as well as others. I have also an accompanied a mobile dog groomer during her work. I helped wash the dogs as well as keep them calm and happy while she worked. I definitely learned A LOT about cleaning up after puppies while working with her. I am currently home for the summer from college and I do not have any other jobs so I have a lot of free time. I available all week except for when I will be out of town. I understand that every dog has different needs. I am fully flexible and willing to work with your dog in whatever way they need. For example, I have helped my dog through her fear of fireworks by wrapping her in a blanket and holding her (a little peanut butter helped too). Or if your dog needs a lot of exercise to stay calm and happy I will run around for hours. I am adaptable to the dog and I can help in whatever way is needed!

About: I have been a dog lover since I got my first dog, Kiwi the puggle, about 20 years ago. While I can't have a dog at my current place, I love to hang out with my friends dogs and dog walk/sit when I can. I have experience dog sitting a variety of dogs - from a senior german shepherd/mastiff mix to a bernadoodle puppy, to high energy australian shepherds and golden retrievers. I would be more than happy to take your dog for a long walk or hike (if that's what they'd like), and am fine with just hanging on the couch and giving pets. I also have experience cat sitting! I had a rambunctious tuxedo cat in college named Chia who I loved dearly. I was the regular sitter for my friends cat who required oral medication. I've cat sat for a number of other cats, from a range of playful to timid to independent. Happy to tell you more about myself and my experience, and I hope to have the chance to look after your adorable fur baby! I work from home Monday and Friday, so on those days I have flexibility to provide the care your pet specifically needs. While I am caring for a pet, I want to make them as comfortable as possible and prioritize attending to their needs. I try to respect your pets needs and boundaries as well as respecting the home that I am sitting in. If a dog seems high to medium energy, I try to provide stimulation through walks and play. I also make it a priority to respect the boundaries of your pet. I will give them space and let them come to me if they are shy, will be gentle and patient if I sense anxiety, all the while trying to let them know that they are safe & that I am a friend.
