Dog Walking Rancho Murieta

About: I grew up in a home filled with animals, so caring for furry family members has always come naturally to me. During the 7+ years I lived in Philadelphia, I taught at a large charter school and began house and pet sitting on the side for fellow teachers and staff. Over the years, I had the privilege of caring for so many sweet furry babies, including pets who needed extra attention, medication, and around-the-clock care. I truly grew attached to many of them and missed them dearly when my Philly chapter came to a close in 2024. Today, I proudly call Sacramento home and am excited to share that same love and care with a new community of pet friends! I’m a firm believer that animals can see and feel the energy of humans in ways we sometimes cannot. I lead with warmth, patience, attentiveness, and genuinely good energy…and animals tend to pick up on that pretty quickly. I’ve yet to meet a furry friend who didn’t eventually warm up to me. 😊 I’m especially comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra support, including administering medications, following detailed routines, and providing consistent care throughout the day or night. I work best with thoughtful pet parents who deeply care for their animals, their homes, and the energy within both. When you book with me, you can expect plenty of LOVE, communication, respect for your space, and most importantly…ACCOUNTABILITY. 💛 I work remotely and have plenty of time to share with your furry family members. I love nature and take many walks/hikes as a form of self care. I’m sure we can work just about anything out—flexibility is our middle name😉.” Interactive pup toys to keep them engaged (i.e Kongs, Hide&Seek Treats) My energy can be extremely high most times so playtime is always a thing both indoors and out!! On a chill day/evening you’ll find my toddler (if approved) and I cuddled up or sprawled out on the floor with your fur babies vibing.🕯️

“Cole was amazing with our beagle puppy, Cowboy. Cole was super communicative and friendly, and he took Cowboy on a long walk at the nearby dog park. Cole has dogs of his own, so he has a wealth of knowledge on how to train and take care of our dog. Would highly recommend Cole!”

“Barbara has a very Calm disposition and is very good with Mowgli. He enjoyed his walk with her and seems calm when around her. She is very prompt and respectful. And communicates well. We will be definitely asking her to take our Mowgli for a walk again. Thanks Barbara!!”

About: I have had my miniature poodle for about 3 years and she is amazing. We do just about everything together. She my little best friend. I work from home full-time, so pets are never left alone. Dolce and I start our day around 6:00am with a potty break and breakfast. I take her out every four hours, and we go on walks when the weather is nice. She’s well-socialized, loves company, and is very gentle with other pets. Having a steady routine means your pet will get consistent care and attention throughout the entire day. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. Dolce is a calm, mellow house dog who spends most of her day relaxing near me while I work. She’s friendly and enjoys having visitors around. Pets in my home get a peaceful environment, plenty of supervision, and lots of affection. I treat every animal like my own and ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved here.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life! I’ve been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from little puppies to older dogs. My grandma also fostered dogs, so I was always surrounded by them growing up! I have 4 years of pet-sitting experience, but I’ve also grown up taking care of our own dogs my whole life. people always tell me how much their dogs love me! I absolutely adore animals and would treat your fur babies like my own! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online! I’m available all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have in-person classes Tuesday and Thursday but can discuss morning or evening visits. I’m also happy to stay overnight in your home! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll always follow their normal routine, respect your home, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your fur baby is in good hands!

“Thank you for always taking such great care of my baby girl, Penny! You are always flexible with my schedule and Penny is so happy to have fun with you while momma is at work 🥰 Would recommend 100%!”

About: Hi I’m Kaeli, your pet’s new best friend! Thank you for stopping by. I’ve grown up with small pets and dogs and have 5 years of professional animal care experience working at an animal shelter. I’ve been petsitting professionally for about 2 years and love the relationships with families I’ve built. I’ve taken care of and fostered puppies, kittens, senior dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits… you name it! I am comfortable with pretty much anything with or without legs! 🙂 I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your family’s schedule and pet routines. Whatever you need, just ask! We can figure it out. My own household is a brat pack of rescues—2 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 rabbits. They are spoiled… Some would say too spoiled 😆 While I’m not home with them, my husband holds down the fort. I’m confident your pets will feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I treat them like they’re my nieces and nephews. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to see if we would be a good fit.

About: This is my first time working to take care of animals. I have had fur babies my whole adult life. Mostly dogs but I have also had cats. I have a cat and a dog right now I’m retired so no work to worry about. I’m available almost anytime and it would be easy to work around your schedule. Thank you for the privilege I would love to watch animals in my home but I have a small place and a pit bull and a son living with me right now. I would care for your fur baby like I care for my own

About: Hi, I'm Leilani! I have been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 9 years old. I have experience with everything from training puppies to caring for senior dogs, including tasks like bladder expression, administering medication, and regular grooming. I'm also comfortable working with reactive dogs, ensuring they get the care and attention they need. I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry friend! As a current student on the path to vet school, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your fur baby! I'm available most weekends and weekdays, and I'm happy to accommodate last-minute requests. If something comes up, don't hesitate to reach out—I can easily adjust my plans to fit your needs! I have extensive experience with dogs and puppies of all sizes, including those who need walks and reactive dogs (those who may be wary of other dogs). Ensuring your pet’s safety and trust is my top priority, and I am committed to creating a positive and comfortable environment for them. If needed, I’m happy to work on helping your pet feel more at ease with me. I can also provide update photos if you'd like. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

About: It has been said to me that my first words as a child were ... barking! While I don't remember that, I do remember always having a connection with all furry companions. I grew up with dogs and cats and on occasion would visit my great grandparents' ranch, with horses, goats and more. I loved giving the animals snacks. More recently, I moved onto a small farm. I helped take care of over a dozen chickens and 2 turkeys; feeding, watering, cleaning the coop. My formal career experience has been in education. In addition to many childcare and classroom support jobs, I also taught public school for 5 years. In either environment, my natural tendency is using my natural empathy to provide personalized care. I am not only a sitter on Rover, but have used the service myself to board my cat before. I know what it's like to leave your baby in someone else's hands! Please communicate specifically to me so that we can rest assured all needs are met for your beloved pet(s). I will treat your furry family member like I would want mine to be treated - patiently, attentively, carefully and lovingly - and only ask that you communicate any expectations or other information clearly and thoroughly. I may ask a lot of questions to clarify, and welcome any of yours! (Además soy bilingüe ❤️) I currently update my schedule on a week-by-week basis. I work part-time as an in-home Instructor for developmentally disabled adults. This is only during weekdays. My availability will vary due to the unique schedule of that job. For example, if a client has a cold, that would be a cancellation on short notice, which would allow me to be available with Rover. So far I've had sufficient flexibility to pet sit and especially housesit in the area. I will reply to your request ASAP and we can go from there. Thank you! For this reason, I prefer to fill my schedule on a day-to-day basis, or at least weekly. I'm happy to answer any questions about specifics, so there is no confusion. Naturally, I'll provide the same consideration I'd expect from someone taking care of my home or pet. Most owners have written instructions down and that has been helpful. I tend to note things down myself, even if they're very simple, just to assure that they are not forgotten. I'll be detail oriented, focused, careful and respectful.

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years or so by myself. Growing up my parents watched dogs for friends and family every so often. We also had a border collie mix of our own for 15 years and I was responsible for taking care of him. I currently work M-Th; 9am-5pm but fairly free before or after work for walks and playtime. I tend to get up early on work days but a night owl on the weekends. I enjoy getting out on the weekends like going on walks with hikes. I currently do not have fenced in hard but I do have a large grass area right outside my house that is dog friendly and is great for playtime and even doggie pool time.

About: I’ve always had a family dog ever since I was a kid. So I know how to play with them. But I didn’t start taking care of one as an adult until 2014. Ever since then, I fully understood the time, patience and responsibilities it requires to fully take care of a dog and its needs. I currently work fully remote at home. It’s not a super demanding job where I’m always on my computer so I have time throughout the day to check on, walk and play with your fur baby. I will treat your home as if it was my home. I’m a clean person and always put things back where they belong. If there happens to be an accident in your home, I will clean it up.

“Brandie was great with my dog. She came over twice to become aquanted with him beforehand and then took great care of him during her visit. Her communication was too notch and my dog was very happy with her.”

About: Hi! My name is Kimya, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I volunteer at shelters and I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, from small to large breeds as well as bully breeds. I understand firsthand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that goes into providing excellent care. In addition to caring for my own pets, my experience consists of volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I’ve worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. This experience has helped me become comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to shy, nervous, or misunderstood dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. Over the years, I have also gained experience caring for dogs with medical and behavioral needs. While I am not a veterinarian, I am attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to monitoring changes in appetite, energy level, mobility, skin and coat condition, digestive health, and overall well-being. I understand how important it is to notice when something isn’t quite right and communicate with owners promptly. I believe every pet is an individual, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar schedule, or simply having company while you’re away, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and understand the trust that comes with leaving a pet with someone else. You can expect dependable care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that your pet is in capable hands. I am available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and boarding depending on the dates needed. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will provide updates and photos throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs with special behavioral or medical considerations. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and any household rules you have in place. I have a fenced yard and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and routine so I can provide individualized care.
