Dog Walking Rancho Mirage

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.

About: Hello! Tina & Jason here, a couple of lifelong dog lovers who absolutely adore dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! I spent two years with the SPCA in Orlando, Florida, caring for furry friends and helping them find their forever homes. We also had a rescue dog of our own and experience with shy, timid, and lovable pets. We’re both kind-hearted, patient, and passionate about animals, and we’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and right at home! My partner will be the one handling the walks, making sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, fresh air, and adventure. Together, we make a great team and will treat your fur baby like one of our own. We’re flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule, including last-minute requests. Please reach out to us directly to get your pup taken care of! We can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member. Lots of love, attention, tail wags, and FUN guaranteed! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure to plan my days around walks, feeding, playtime, and attention for any pets I’m caring for. I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule to fit the needs of your furry friend, including morning or evening walks, potty breaks, or extra cuddles. I enjoy creating a consistent routine for pets so they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a very old dog named Biscuit. She is definitely my snuggle buddy. At home, Biscuit is allowed to roam anywhere in the house. Your fur baby can do the same!

About: I’ve always loved animals my whole life and grew up taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve pet sat for family and friends many a times. I’m very good a training puppies as well as caring for older pets. These last couple of years i’ve pet sat a lot more and have gained a good amount of experience! 🤍 I’m currently working part-time as well as being a full time college student but I will have plenty of time to drop in and make sure your pets are doing well! I can work around my work and school schedule to drop in before and after if need be. I want to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home so i’ll be sure to stay with their normal routine. I’m very patient and equipped to handle different medication or special routines. I understand that it can be scary leaving your pets in someone else’s hands but I want to reassure you that you can count on me to make sure that your pets are being cared for properly. I respect your home and their space and will keep you updated with how your pets are doing after each visit. I want your mind to be at ease while you’re away and your pets to be safe and happy!

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 absolutely love dogs and find each one unique with their own personality and quirks. I would be happy to walk your fur baby! I’ve learned a lot working at shelters and rescue missions. My schedule is open for anyone needing a dog walker or a simple drop in. I give you my best “YOU”when your away. I give finishing touches of fresh cold water, cool downs, water on our walks with a few high quality treats along our date! Your fur baby is my number one priority and attention while in my hands. I’ve earned my 5 stars and very thankful of them. My goal is wagging tails and happy pet parents! I’m open and never take on too many dogs to assure attention to your dog! It’s my full time job! Communication w/ pet parents is my number one requirement. Safety is equally important so with great communication very little can go wrong. I make sure your dog is as comfortable as my dog. If they don’t get along, there’s gates up and private suites. I put great effort to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable.

About: Hi there! I’m very observant and caring with pets. I have a lot of experience in senior care. My own dog, who passed in 2024, lived to 15 years old, was blind and diabetic. Because of him, I’m comfortable with special care needs. I am a full time nursing student at College of The Desert. My availability/calendar on Rover is always updated and accurate. I provide dog sitting services on a part time basis during the semester :) The months of December-Jan 2026 I will be taking some time off from pet sitting. Unfortunately my home does not allow pets so I can only sit in the pets/your home! I am excited to meet your fur baby and give them all my love, care and attention! I like to send a lot of photos and videos because your comfort is my comfort (Unless you ask me not to!) One thing that really helps things go smoothly is a detailed schedule & notes (written or typed) for your pet if they have any. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to keep your pup safe and happy.

“Very responsive, on time. Was patient with my shy old guy! Definitely hire Jessica again!”

About: Genuine Dog-Lover looking to make new canine friends. As a dog owner once myself, I know the special bond between humans and dogs, and the attention that humans seek for their loved companions. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet, and taking them on great walks, playing with them, and providing a comfortable home and toys when you're not available. Several years of experience with a variety of dogs (and cats) and happy to welcome them into my spacious home, or come visit at their home. Have read a variety of sources on pet care, training, health, and body language, and ready to show your pet the same love that I would give my own... and receive that amazing endless love from them as well. Vaccinated for Covid-19.

About: MY EXPERIENCE WITH PETS: While I am new to professional pet-care platforms, I have a lifetime of personal experience loving and caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, I have successfully handled my own pets, both cats and dogs, as well as my neighbors and extended family pets. I am fully comfortable handling different dog sizes on a leash, reading feline body language, managing feeding schedules, and keeping litter boxes pristine. Whether it’s an energetic dog who needs a long, focused walk or a shy cat who just needs a calm, patient presence for playtime and feeding, I treat every pet with the absolute highest level of safety and affection. They become my number 1 priority. My daily and weekly routine is built entirely around pet care, treating both dog walking and cat sitting as my primary focus. • My Daily Routine: I split my day into clear blocks to meet different pet needs. My mornings start with early dog walks and cat breakfast drop-ins. My middays (11 AM to 3 PM) are fully focused on high-demand dog walks while owners are at work. My late afternoons and evenings are dedicated to cat dinner feedings, litter box maintenance, and final evening dog walks. • My Weekly Routine: Every Sunday evening, I map out my schedule and travel routes based on my bookings. This ensures I can seamlessly transition between energetic dog walks and quiet, patient cat drop-ins without ever rushing a client. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities for both dogs and cats. I prevent accidents by maintaining total focus and eliminating distractions during every visit. • For Dogs: I always utilize a secure, double-check grip on the leash and never let a dog off-lead in unfenced areas. I strictly cross the street to avoid unknown dogs and keep a close eye out for street debris or chicken bones that a pup might try to eat. • For Cats: I am incredibly vigilant about door security. I never open an exterior door without ensuring the cat is safely contained in another room or far away from the entryway to prevent escapes. • Trust & Emergencies: I maintain clear, instant communication with pet parents by sending real-time photo updates and report cards. Before our first visit, I require a meet-and-greet to document the pet's behavioral triggers, emergency veterinarian contact details, and where first-aid supplies are located in the home

“Ashley was amazing! We really appreciated her last-minute flexibility when our puppy desperately needed a walk after being inside all day while I was working. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which was such a huge help. Our pup had a blast with her! Ashley was also very accommodating with our request to take her for an indoor walk since our dog is sensitive to the heat. She was communicative, reliable, and made me feel comfortable knowing our puppy was in great hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, and dogs have always been a central part of my home and my heart. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I’m comfortable handling everything from daily routines to those moments when a pup isn’t feeling their best. I take pride in making sure every dog in my care gets plenty of walks, playtime, and the kind of attention that keeps their tail wagging. Whether your dog needs a calm companion or an enthusiastic play session, I’m here for all of it and will treat them like my own. I’m retired and home all day every day, so your dog will always have someone around. I’m around morning, afternoon, and evening love having a pup by my side throughout the day. I live in a condo with access to a fenced yard, so there’s a safe spot outside for fresh air and playtime whenever your pup needs it. I have a dog of my own at home, so your dog will have a buddy to hang out with as well.

“My dog Daisy LOVES David! He was very sweet and attentive to my high-energy pup and took her out on long walks to the park to make sure she got her energy out while I was away at work. Thank you David for loving my sweet pup as if she were your own!”

About: My close friends and co-workers have deemed me a dog-whisperer due to the way dogs gravitate towards me. I currently watch dogs of all breeds and sizes on a monthly basis and aim to provide the most caring, loving service possible. I find dog-sitting to be a fulfilling side job that brings me much joy and satisfaction. Ultimately, I want the owner to feel at ease while their away for an extended period of time.

About: Lover of all animals. 20 years experience with our own dogs and others both HUGE and Small. Recently said goodbye to our old boy (a Large Great Weimar) and looking to spend some time with new doggy friends until we get our next. Extensive history with senior dogs and all of the care that goes along with that (assisted bathroom walks, pill schedules, dog bed changing, pee pads, etc), especially patience and love. Also happy with long walks or hikes for the adventurous tail waggers out there! My husband works from home full time, and I currently am available to give my full attention to our pet friends. So walks and attention at any time are not a problem. We have a large fenced in yard with additional barriers that can be added if needed. Lots of grass and play areas for fetch available. We also live in a gated golf community, with many paths and trails for any length of walks and play.

About: KEEPING FEES LOW... SO YOUR PET CARE DOESN'T COST AS MUCH AS YOUR VACATION! Lifelong Animal Expert & US Champion Equestrian – Elite Care for Your Pups! Hi, I’m Rich, animals have been a central focus of my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I learned the deep responsibility of animal care from a very young age. This foundational passion led me to a competitive career as a US Champion Equestrian, a journey that taught me how to read animal behavior, anticipate needs, and maintain absolute patience under pressure. Beyond my time in the arena, I have extensive hands-on medical exposure. I spent years assisting both large and small animal veterinarians in New York on everything from routine check-ups to intense, fast-paced emergency calls. Because of this, you can rest easy knowing I am highly observant, calm in emergencies, and fully capable of handling pets with specialized health or behavioral needs. On a personal note, I’ve loved and owned dogs since I was 8 years old. Today, I am the proud pet parent of two rescued terrier pups, so I deeply understand the unique patience, structure, and endless affection that rescue dogs need to feel safe and happy. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, meticulous medical attention, or just a calm and confident presence while you are away, I will treat them with the exact same elite level of care I give my own animals. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I'm available throughout the day and night to assist with your pet care needs. Check my posted schedule to ensure the dates you need are available or my website to schedule. Pet walking and drop in visits only. At this time, I'm available for drop in visits, walking your pet, or transportation to and from the vet.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for three high-maintenance, large-breed dogs—including walking, bathing, feeding, and handling their unique needs. I understand how much care and patience big dogs require, and I’m confident in managing strong, energetic pups with love and consistency. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the week and availability on weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and have time to play, walk, and care for them just like I do with my own dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I treat them like family. I follow any instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and special needs. I make sure pets feel safe and loved by keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and respecting their space. I also keep the home clean and tidy, just as I would want someone to do in mine.

“Taunya helped my fiancé and I in a pinch when we needed our dog walked while we skied. She was communicative, prompt and sent photos even though it was only a 30 min walk! I really appreciated knowing how our baby was doing while we were out for the day. If you need someone to care for your pup in Bend, definitely recommend Taunya!”
