Dog Walking Ridgemark

“She did a fantastic Job. Fiddle loves her!”

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, both personally and for clients, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with a member of your family. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large, strong dogs, and I always adjust my approach based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and comfort. I don’t look at dogs as just pets. I treat them like family and give them the same attention, patience, and care I would want for my own. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for a potty break, feeding, playtime, or simply giving them some company while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also know how reassuring it is for owners to receive updates, so I’m happy to provide photos and check-ins during visits. You can feel confident knowing your dog will be treated with genuine care, respect, and attention every time. Since I work from home, I have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule, which makes pet care a great fit for my routine. I’m able to make time for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day without having to rush around a traditional work schedule or commute. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so getting out for a walk, stopping by to check on them, or giving them some extra attention is something I look forward to. I’m available for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits depending on what works best for you and your dog. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can also be more flexible when plans change or when your dog needs a little extra attention. My goal is to make their routine feel as normal and comfortable as possible and to give them the same care and attention I would give my own. I know dogs are more than just pets, they’re family. When I care for your dog in your home, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, playtime, a potty break, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: One thing that makes my home different is that I intentionally only care for up to two guest dogs at a time. Unlike larger boarding setups, this means your dog receives the individual attention, affection, and supervision they deserve—not just another spot in a crowded home. I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years and have loved them since I was five years old, when I got my first cat. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets—and I’m comfortable with all breeds. I’ve also cared for many pets for family, friends, and Rover clients, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Because I work remotely, I’m home for most of the day, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. My home is calm, safe, and full of love, playtime, cuddles, and walks. I’m also comfortable administering medication and pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel like they’re staying with family while you’re away, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re receiving the care and attention they deserve. Because I work remotely, I’m home most of the day, which makes pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I start my mornings with a walk or playtime, and I take regular breaks throughout the day to give pets attention, cuddles, and outdoor time. Evenings are usually calm and cozy — perfect for a relaxing stroll or some quiet time together. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs, whether that’s frequent walks, meal routines, or medication schedules. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same — to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest, so their day feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space where they get plenty of cuddles, playtime, and outdoor walks. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own, keeping things tidy and peaceful while giving your pet lots of attention and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and cared for.

“So prompt and amazing!”

About: I have over a year of hands-on dog care experience and genuinely love working with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and understood while their parents are away. From active pups who need long walks to calm seniors who need gentle routines, I adapt my care to each dog’s needs. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and the amount of one-on-one time I give each dog. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and house rules exactly as instructed. I provide playtime, enrichment, exercise, potty breaks, and lots of affection to keep your dog relaxed and happy. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and multi-pet households. You’ll always receive updates and photos so you can feel confident that your fur baby is getting loving, professional care. My pet care routine is structured around my full-time role at Labcorp (7 AM – 4 PM). I provide morning care before work, including feeding, walks, and medication if needed. After my shift, I return promptly for evening care, extended attention, walks, and overnight stays. Pets are never left without consistent care, and I provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions exactly as given feeding, walks, medications, and house rules to keep your pet on their normal routine. I always make sure pets are safe and secure, and I treat your home with respect by keeping it clean and locked. I also send regular updates and photos so you feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Building trust with both you and your pet is very important to me.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have taken care of many dogs. I’ve also had bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, birds growing up. My dog has also had babies. So I have experience in taking care of puppies because I helped my dog give birth. Pet care fits into my routine because I am currently enrolled in college and I am mostly just focusing on that right now. Being able to see some dogs for a few hours would be a great way to fit some exercise into my routine. I care for them by always being attentive and making sure they are loved and cared for. I also love walking and being with nature, so it would be fun to take out some new doggies for walks.

About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.

“Lisa was great with both of our babies! She gave great updates and the dogs loved her! Will use her again 10/10 would recommend!!”

About: I've cared for multiple dogs and cats since I was a child, as a teenager and have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home that I love and adore ! I'm currently working as a teacher in the Gilroy area and am free to are for your pets after 245 pm and before 830 am. I have a fenced yard at home where my dogs are free to come in as they please to certain areas of the house until I get home with the access of their dog door. I take the dogs out for walk before and after work, weather permitting and play, groom, feed on a regular basis.

About: Being a previous doggie owner who I raised from puppyhood, I have experience taking care of dogs at all stages of life, and of all breeds and sizes. I also have experience taking care of livestock, I owned a horse, and have lived on a goat and chicken farm. I connect very much with animals of all kinds and am happy to give them love, nourishment, exercise and comfort. I am unable to have a doggie or kittie of my own right now so having the honor of caring for your furry family member gives my life meaning and enrichment <3 I am going to school currently online through a college out of San Fransisco. The rest of the time I have free to spend with your animal and take care of your home! I like to wake up early and go for a walk and have plenty of time between study sessions to go on walks and care for your pet. I will give regular walks, feed at the same time each day and offer a lot of cuddles and support. I know sometimes animals can feel anxious when their person is away..being a previous dog owner I understand that and I will treat your pet with the upmost consideration for their feelings and do everything to help them relax while their people. :)

“I have asked Mary Ann to help with the care of our family dog twice now and both times she was responsive with booking, cleaning up an accident inside the house, giving meds and showing up in time frames requested. We are really grateful for her help and service.”

About: My family has always been passionate about giving animals the best possible life & experience that we possibly could. I have owned multiple dogs of different sizes and owned for multiple kinds of reptiles. I have experience carrying for special needs dogs as two of our dogs needed extensive medical care and medication administered multiple times of day as they near the end of their lives. I consider myself to be very calm and respectful of people’s fur babies and home. I’m currently working part time, just 10 hours a week and I spend most of my time when I’m not working doing schoolwork. I’m a local college student and avid pet lover. Im passionate and safety oriented. I’ll spend most of my time caring for your pets and reading my textbooks. I’m a quick learner and can follow any instructions you set for me. I have experience administering medications to dogs as my previous dog required multiple bouts of different medication throughout the day during the end of her life. I also have experience with reptiles and heating requirements and general feeding schedules.

“I am beyond pleased with the exceptional care and attention that our male dog walker provided to my two schnauzers. In just two walks, it is evident that he genuinely cares for them. His sweet demeanor and dedication make him a standout choice. I will definitely be utilizing his services again”

About: I grow up with dogs and pets in my home and animals have always been a big part of my life. Having had a senior dog myself has taught me a lot so I have a lot of experience administrating medications and routines. But also we now have a puppy that is full of energy and have a very different and varied personality and routine. I had the opportunity to work with all types of dogs and cats. From all ages and breeds. I’m a full time dog sitter and I love it. So when I have a booking and spend all of my time with them, walking, playing, training, napping, meals, etc. I love go take pictures and videos that I send my clients so they can see what I’m doing. I have a puppy of 6 months that it’s super sweet and loving. He will make sure your dog has an amazing play time with us. We live in front of a park that is perfect for walks and play time.

“Jamie was wonderful to work with! She took the time to calmly listen as I shared all the details about my dog’s daily routine, arthritis, likes, and needs. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. She also showed me her home and backyard, which made me feel very comfortable and confident that my dog would be in a safe, loving environment. We had a great 30-minute walk together, and Jamie was so gentle and kind with my dog. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and takes the time to get to know each pet. I would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a compassionate pet caregiver. In fact, after our meet-and-greet walk, I felt so comfortable that I’ve already booked her to dog sit for my dog for 10 days in July. Thank you, Jamie!”
