Dog Walking Pedley

About: About Me Hi, I’m Marissa, owner of Shining Light’s K9 Services! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—including those with aggression, reactivity, or other behavioral challenges. Over the years, I’ve worked in multiple dog hotels/doggy daycares, in pet grooming, and as a freelance trainer, giving me a well-rounded understanding of canine care and behavior. I specialize in creating a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every dog I work with. Whether your pet needs a calm walk, a high-energy run, targeted training, or simply loving companionship, I tailor my approach to their unique needs. Administering medications is never an issue, and I pride myself on excellent communication so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and progress are always my top priorities. With me, your fur baby will be in experienced, loving, and capable hands. Pet care is my full-time job and passion. I run my own business, Shining Light’s K9 Services, from home, so caring for dogs is part of my daily routine from morning to night. I structure my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training sessions, and any special care each pet needs. Because this is my full-time work, I have the flexibility to give your pet consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, I offer multiple sleeping options so your dog feels at ease—whether that’s a cozy crate, a comfy dog bed in my living room, or even in my bedroom if that’s what they’re used to. I maintain a clean, secure environment, with constant supervision and safe spaces for rest or play. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions exactly to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure food, water, and medications are given on schedule, and I always take time for walks, play, and affection. Whether at my home or yours, my goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, so I have gained quite a bit of experience taking care of them and picking up after them. I absolutely love animals with all my heart, and have cared for all sorts of them: cats, dogs, turtles, fish, birds, you name it! I am extremely responsible and have the patience and love to fulfill all of your pet’s needs! I feed my dog and cats every day. I pick up after them in the yard every couple weeks. I walk my dog occasionally, but play with him every day. I pet and play with my cats all the time! In my client’s home, I follow all instructions and timelines. I show love and care to each and every animal. I clean up after the animals when needed. Whatever you request, I will do! And more!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was little and I currently have 2 cats that I have been caring for the past 8 years now and a puppy that belongs to my sister that I look after a lot to help her out sometimes when she’s working and so I think that I’m definitely a great person to rely on for these kinds of things. I’m currently working part time as I am a third year college student who’s major is fine and applied arts and goes to school currently but can take care of your pets anytime of the day all week including weekends and holidays. I care for them by having a feeding schedule for them, cleaning up after them, bathing them, taking them on walks and just playing with them through out the day.

About: I've trained dogs my whole life! Love teaching them and creating a safe and loving environment for both you and them, it brings me joy I currently work at a school with special needs kids! I'm off at 2pm, from there on i spend my time training furry friends . I have a fenced house! 2 pets that will accompany your pet. I train them from behaviors to attention to making sure they are safe

About: Hi, I’m Afton! I provide one-on-one care by accepting only one family’s pets at a time! I have a very quiet home, which is perfect for new guests. I have found that hosting one family’s pets at a time leaves me with more time to spoil and help your pets settle in. I love gaining new experience in pet care, I have watched newborn puppies, kittens, and even ducks! I have a senior pug, he has been with me since I started kindergarten. I absolutely adore senior dogs due to my experience with him, they hold a special place in my heart. My background also includes time at the Riverside Animal Shelter, where I trained dogs and made sure they were well-socialized, and ready to be adopted. Along with this, I have also volunteered at the Hidden Valley Nature Center! Mainly taking care of the animals and helping to maintain their habitats. I am a college student, working towards a masters degree. Working for Rover allows me to go to school and at the same time work from home. My neighborhood is very hilly if dogs need to let out energy. Regular bathroom breaks and additional walks are always part of our routine to keep them active and content. My goal is to make sure each dog feels loved, safe, and well cared for. I will provide a lot of enrichment activities to keep them occupied, puzzle toys are always a favorite.

“Ariel walked our dog Orson everyday for two weeks when we were on vacation and him with my mom. Ariel was amazing and very kind and patient. Orson was shy in the beginning and she was very patient and kind with him and by the second week he was so excited everytime she came over for the walks. She was also always very punctual and reliable. Will definitely call her again for dog walking next time we are out of town.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all types and sizes for about ten years, I say I'm an extremely patient and attentive, very easy-going flexible person who loves to be around animals. I am currently a full-time student at UCSC and study remotely. I am looking to do this part-time on the weekends no matter what time. I live in an apartment there are many places to walk dogs nearby. I love daily runs and stay active I enjoy finding little unique characteristics of each new friend. There are a few nearby parks to go to.

About: Hi! My name is Sherleen and I love dogs and have always grown up with them. I had a childhood chihuahua that I took care of for over 15 years. I now have a malte poo and a pug that I’ve been raising for over 11 years since before they could be weaned from their mom. You can imagine the nights waking up to feed them like human babies! I’ve picked up doggie accidents that seemed like natural disasters and have groomed and bathed my dogs since having them. I’ve cared for dogs from shelters who have trust issues around humans, dogs with behavioral issues and health issues. This includes giving them routine medication around the clock, dedicating time to gaining trust, or as simple as them needing help cleaning themselves after using the restroom. I own 2 Brachycephalic dogs so I also understand the attention those breeds require. Personally, my pug is allergic to fleas and ticks so my house and yard are flea and tick free for her safety! I am a college student who’s doing classes in person on the mornings and can 100% dedicate attention and care. Please message me if you need me during a day I don’t have “available”!!! I’m also really available during holidays! I can do special requests and update my calendar for you (M,Th, 11:30 pm- 6pm) (T, 1:30 and ongoing) (W, 12:30 - 6pm) Just message me and I’ll work something out for your situation! Pets are our babies and deserve nothing less! I currently work with students as an orchestra tutor and a coach working with students ranging of ages. I work around schedules for students and I can do the same for people needing pet sitting! I As a school district worker I am required to do background checks and fingerprints to be a teacher, I understand having a stranger take care of your dog can be stressful but with this knowledge I hope I can ease some of your minds. As a dog owner it’s only essential to give your dog attention, interaction and above all, patience. Dogs like playing, walking or just chilling with their owners and those things vary between dogs! Some have way more energy than other dogs and it’s important to know what they need especially since they can’t talk for themselves. In my household I have a yard that my dogs stay outside for the majority of the day. When bringing in new dogs, I will keep your dog/s indoors and take care of their needs at all times with me so in the case they’re not used to other pups I have a barrier.

“Thank you Britney for being so loving and taking good care of our Tobey. He loves his walks with you and for giving us peace of mind his always in good hands. 💗”

My wife and I both work from home full time so we will be able to take care of your pet hands-on and there won’t be a time they will be left by themselves. Any directions that are given, I can follow with care and will be quick to follow up should any questions arise. My wife and I both work from home full time and we are not required to be in front of our computers the whole time. We will be able to accommodate any requirements needed for the pet.
