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: I have worked the last 25 years working in the medical field. Part of my job was providing pet therapy visits to hospice patients both in the private home and assisted living facilities. My Corgi named Pepe and I did team training and became certified through Love on a Leash. I have decided that I would like to help others with their dog and cat needs rather than getting another dog at this time. I am currently retired and am very flexible with my weekly schedule. I am available as a one-time sitter visit or a repeated weekly if preferred. Feel free to ask me if I am available before 11am or after 3pm for a drop in visitor for a dog walk or cat drop in visit. It's my goal to try my best to meet your schedule needs. I just don't do night dog walks or drop in visits. I understand the importance of making sure an animal feels comfortable with me and allowing it to approach me. I will always use a leash when walking a pet outside for their safety. I currently have a disabled, indoor cat. I make sure that her litter box is scooped daily and that her needs are a priority. I make sure she has fresh water and food, treats daily. It's always important to know from the pet owner what treats they prefer for their pets or food sensitive issues.

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: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of feeling secure. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether they enjoy gentle walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I will provide the dependable and attentive care they need. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog of 12 years, I am not quite ready to welcome another puppy of my own. Caring for other people’s pets has become an especially meaningful way for me to continue sharing my love for animals. I understand how deeply pets are cherished, and I will care for yours with the same tenderness and attention I would want for my own. Since I work from home, I’m available any day of the week and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve. I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to earn their trust, follow their routine, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your care instructions carefully, pay attention to each pet’s unique personality, and provide lots of love, patience, and companionship. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send regular updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

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.

About: My uncle used to own a boarding and grooming facility in Tucson, Arizona and I worked for him. This included feeding dogs and cats as well as cleaning litter boxes and kennels. I also administered medication’s. Since being in the Coachella Valley, I’ve also done pet/house sitting for a family that had four dogs and three cats & another family that had four dogs & a blind orange cat. I have one small and spunky multi poo that has to have three medications that she will not chew so I have to physically administer it with a feeding syringe. I have one cat now, but at one time I had five that were all rescues and lived out their old age with us. I work full time, but I’m able to request time off if I get to pet/house sit. I’m also available before & after work & on my days off. I will carefully follow all instructions for the pet & home I will sit for. Everything from dietary needs, medication and walking. I will even bathe your pet.

About: I care about the quality and attention that I give when taking care of pets. I used to walk 8 pugs at a time. I was known as the pug walker. I am a lecturer in communication studies and believe in clear and open communication with my clients. I promise to treat your pets as if they were my own. Kindness and compassion are a big part of my philosophy of life. I will give your pet love and my undivided attention when I care for them. I am an animal lover and love cats and dogs equally. I have always had both cats and dogs but currently do not have any pets. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that you can sense that I am a great petsitter. I am currently working part time and have a great deal of flexibility for taking extra special care of your fur babies. I love spending time with all kinds of animals. I am respectful of space and treat anyone's home with care and utmost respect. I am willing to work together to create an excellent experience for everyone involved.

About: 🐾 Need a Reliable Dog Sitter? I've Got Your Tail Covered! 🐾 Heading out of town or working long hours? Let your pup stay safe, happy, and loved right in their own home! ✅ Experienced & trustworthy ✅ Daily walks, playtime & snuggles ✅ Administering meds if needed ✅ Updates & photos sent to you ✅ Available weekdays, weekends & holidays Whether it’s for a day, a weekend, or longer treat every dog like my own! Retiring soon, I work from home. I can’t really have a dog. I look forward to spending meaningful time with animals and sharing unconditional love with your furry friend while you’re away from home. My approach to pet care is always personalized to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness. Depending on the services requested, here’s how I typically provide care: Feeding: I follow the specific dietary instructions provided by the pet owner, including portion size, feeding times, and any special dietary needs or restrictions. I make sure fresh water is always available. Medication: If pets require medication, I administer it carefully according to the owner’s directions. This includes pills, topical treatments, or any other prescribed care, while closely monitoring the pet for any side effects or changes in behavior. Walking and Exercise: For dogs, regular walks tailored to their energy levels and physical condition are a priority. I ensure they get enough exercise and bathroom breaks to keep them healthy and happy. I’m attentive to leash safety and environmental conditions during walks. Play and Enrichment: Pets receive plenty of interactive playtime, stimulation, and affection to keep them mentally engaged and emotionally satisfied. This might include playing with toys, training exercises, or just spending quiet cuddle time. Comfort and Supervision: I maintain a safe and calm environment, making sure pets have a cozy space to rest and feel secure. I monitor their behavior closely to detect any signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. Communication: I keep pet owners updated regularly with photos, messages, or videos, sharing how their pet is doing and any noteworthy observations.

About: I’ve always felt drawn to animals, even as a toddler, and I’m grateful they have always been in my life one way or another. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, parrots, bunnies and I’m 200% comfortable around all types of animals, including yours! Most of my happiest memories of a child include being around dogs and I have continued to be involved in their care in professional as well as volunteer-based ways. I consistently donate my time to rescues by fostering them, setting up adoption events and volunteering at shelters. I’m also the kind of person who will stop to say hello to a dog walking past me in the street. I adopted my own five-year old rescue, Pippin, who LOVES other pups and is happy to keep them company with me when boarding a dog in our home. I’m an active individual…exercise is very important to me—both for myself and Pippin, and I am a great match for high-energy dogs. At a bare minimum (unless otherwise specified by the owner), I make sure we walk for at least an hour and if your pup needs more exercise, I am more than capable of exercising for multiple hours! I go above and beyond with communication by sending regular photo, video and text updates in real time so you know your pup is healthy, happy and secure when in my care. I also make sure I understand your pup’s usual schedule and then do my best to stick to their regular feeding times, activity times (and level) and play their favorite games. Does your pup like hiking? Great, because I do too! In short, I get to know my clients’ dogs’ favorite things to do and then make sure our time together is a healthy mix of the activities they enjoy. It can be difficult for a pup to trust a new person right off the bat so I take the time to earn their trust through belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles and healthy treats. I have over two decades of experience caring for all types of breeds, temperaments and sizes, and I do whatever it takes to understand their quirks and then tailor my care to their specific needs. I work as a freelance copywriter but besides that my schedule is wide open for pet care during the evenings and on weekends. I have a student mindset and am always interested in learning as much as I can to provide your pup with the best care possible. Send me a message, I can’t wait to meet you!

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats all my life with my own pets and or family members pets as well!

Especially if your doggo is a cuddler, your pet and I will have a grand ole time. I currently work part time, with that being said, I will always have time for your littles and bigs, both before and after work! Currently I work Thurs-Sun 9am-5pm, and when any changes arise I always let my pet parents know in advance to make sure both you and your pets stay as happy as possible.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every pet in my care. As a dedicated dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and truly attentive watching over your fur baby. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I intentionally plan my week to make sure every pet in my care receives dependable attention, patience, and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also keep homes tidy and respect each client’s preferences and boundaries.

About: I have two amazing fur babies of my own Stella and Lily who are my whole world. I absolutely love all animals and currently going to school for psychology to hopefully work with animals more in the future. I have taken care of many dogs and cats before house sitting, overnights and dog walking. I have also always had a fur baby of my own and have fostered a few times. I love that I found this app to help people with their fur babies. I currently go to school online for psychology and if need to go do overnights I can easily take my laptop with me. Pretty much have open availability if you have any questions feel free to ask I pay very close attention my eyes never leave the dogs site even in a fenced yard. They are just like kids.

About: I’ve taken care of my own chihuahua since I was 12, but since moving to the US I couldn’t have any pets at home due to family member’s preference, I would love to have the chance to care for other people’s dogs! I’m currently staying at home growing my small business, and I have taekwondo classes every Monday and Wednesday at 6pm. On my free days I’m able to commit to caring for pets, but will not be available from 6PM onwards. I love being around dogs very much, and really love taking care of them, I’m very hands on with my past chihuahuas and love cuddling them so much.
