Dog Walking Rancho San Rafael

About: Trust your beloved pets to a mature, responsible adult. I enjoy a loyal following of repeat clientele because my clients understand that I can be trusted both with their beloved pets and with their homes. We can board up to two dogs at one time, but they must be from the same family home. I am a successful small business owner and I work out of my home. I live within convenient probity proximity to downtown Glendale and the 134 freeway. Each visiting dog may arrive with a bed, blanket, toys or anything else you think necessary for them to enjoy a sense of stability and security. If requested, we're happy to send updates, pictures and videos to assure you that all is well with your pet. Being away from a home can be a stressful situation for any pet, and we do our best to keep your pet calm and comfortable during their stay.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets. I have always had pets in my home and understand the love, patience, and responsibility they need. My friends and family often trust me to help care for their pets when they are away. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide walks, visits, feeding, and attention based on each pet’s needs. I am responsible and will make sure your pet receives the care and attention they need. I provide pets with a safe, clean, and calm environment. In a client’s home, I will follow the owner’s instructions and keep the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, playtime, and care. In my home, I will make sure pets feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention. I always respect each pet’s personality and needs and make safety my priority.

About: I adopted my first own dog in 2012 and cared for him until he passed of old age in 2024. He was a half English half American bulldog. Now I have a French bulldog, an 8‑year‑old cat and a guinea pig. I understand dog and cat behavior and routines really well. Friends and family have trusted me for years to feed, walk, and give meds to their pets and I treat every pet like part of my family. I understand the true purpose of walks for dogs and always let them take their time sniffing and exploring so they feel mentally stimulated and relaxed. I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and available any time, any day. I’m used to juggling different feeding, walking, and playtime schedules, and your pet will get lots of attention and company throughout the day. I follow your feeding, walking, and crate routines so they feel safe and consistent. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with seniors and more nervous pets, and I always keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re comfortable and secure.

“Isabel is excellent! She’s punctual, is a great communicator, and is very natural with dogs. She observed a lot of things about my dogs temperament that I really appreciated . She has also done dog sitting in my home and is very trustworthy.”

“Big thanks to Tamar who was such a huge help for our dog. Tamar has been an absolute blessing for our family and our senior dog, Benny. At 15 years old, Benny has a lot of special needs, including help getting up and down the stairs and extra patience as he moves through his day. Tamar was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive with him from the very beginning. Benny is usually very timid around new people, but Tamar’s warm and gentle demeanor helped him feel comfortable with her surprisingly quickly. She also kept us updated with great communication and sent the cutest photos during her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind. We are so grateful for Tamar and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog sitter!”

About: I’ve grown up around big dogs such as labs my entire life which has made me very comfortable around animals. I also rode horses for 14 years so have worked with many types and sizes of farm animals. I have my own kitties and have cared for friends cats and dogs as well. I can do absolutely anything you or your animal need. I’m a very active person who loves hiking, long walks, and spending time outdoors, so bringing a dog along is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m also an early riser and have no problem getting up for morning walks, feedings, or whatever routine your pet is used to. I still ride horses and regularly spend time at the barn, so caring for animals is a consistent part of my everyday life—not just when I’m pet sitting. While I do have a part-time job, I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets receive the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. My goal is to maintain the same routines, care, and attention they’re used to, making the transition as stress-free as possible. I treat every animal with the utmost care, patience, and respect, taking the time to understand their unique personality and needs. Whether that’s keeping to their normal schedule, offering extra playtime, quiet companionship, or plenty of affection, I strive to fill the gap while you’re away so they feel secure, happy, and genuinely cared for until you’re home again.

I’m always nervous about leaving my Zoey with just anyone but Pia has such a trusting spirt and i’m glad I went with my gut & chose her!”

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, from growing up with a cat to horseback riding, owning a horse, helping care for other people’s horses, walking friends’ dogs and having dogs of my own, including a German shepherd and two dachshunds. I currently don’t have pets, which is a big reason I’m signing up for Rover. I miss having animals around and would love to help care for yours. I’m an avid walker and hiker, so getting in my steps with a furry companion sounds wonderful. I’m comfortable with both larger and small dogs, and I also love cats, whether that means cuddling, giving them space or simply making sure they are well cared for. While I’m new to pet sitting through Rover, I’m a responsible, competent and trusted animal lover. Having had my own dogs, I know how much it means to find someone reliable and kind to care for your furry family members while you’re at work or on vacation. I’m a semi-retired freelancer with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I prefer early morning through mid-afternoon visits, but will try to be accommodating according to your schedule. I don’t have a fenced yard and am not able to host pets in my home, but I’m very happy to come to you for drop-in visits, cat care and neighborhood walks. I love getting outside with dogs and am equally happy to to spend indoor time with cats.

“Traci is awesome and sent a lot of photos and let us knew how the doggies were doing- great communication thank you!! They can’t wait to see you again”

About: Hi, my name is Angie! I love animals like my blood relatives and I would love to be your next fur baby caretaker! I've lived in a house with 3 dogs for my entire life, and love to play, walk, relax, and explore with them. Since I was 8 I've been actively taking care of pups (feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, and cleaning up after them), so I'm definitely confident with taking care of dogs. My earliest memories were with a Husky, Doberman mix, and Super-mutt, and then I grew up with my GSP, Australian Shepherd, and Chi-Poo (who is now the happiest 14-year-old old lady). In college I also fostered cats – a sibling duo I took care of for 6 months, as well as a litter of 6 kittens – so I love to be with both dogs and cats alike, and know how to take care of both sweet creatures :) I'm available for dog walking, dog sitting, or cat sitting, and have availability throughout the week (with only Sunday afternoons fully blocked off). I can take care of small and big dogs alike, and love to be active – so no amount of energy is too much for me! I have taken care of dogs from 6 weeks to 14 years, and cats from 2 weeks to 6 years old. I just graduated from USC, and I'm very responsible and know how to look after and take care of our precious pets. Feel free to reach out today with any questions about future care, and I look forward to becoming your pet's best friend! I'm free for walking throughout the week, and am very flexible with my work schedule since I'm a figure skating teacher. Sundays I am unavailable from 11AM-4PM, but I am otherwise available to take care of your pets or board for a period of time. I have lots of toys, treats, and love to give, and having experience with both old and young pets, I adapt to energy levels very quickly and know how to build connections and trust with animals. I am very clean and responsible, and if any mess is made I clean it right up. I can find a way to make even the smallest space a wonderland for pets, and am confident that I can keep them entertained until their humans return.

About: I’ve been fortunate to grow up with animals most of my life and lucky enough to continue having little fur companions in the home through roommates. I’m proud to say I’m my friend’s go to for pet sitting (+ house sitting) while they’re away in long trips as I love to play, cuddle, and take care of their little ones as if they were my own. I enjoy taking my family’s dogs for long walks whenever I visit and cuddling with the cat if she’s gracious enough to give me attention. I’d love to meet your pet and thanks in advance! 💗 I’m generally free before 2 pm and after 6 pm with open availability on the weekends though my schedule will vary on a weekly basis and can be pretty flexible! It’s not always easy for pets to be with a stranger but with trust, respect, and patience I hope to create a safe atmosphere. I’d love to implement the methods that have already been established by the pet owner to create a familiar environment and easy transition for your pet.
