Dog Walking Rimrock

About: Hey there! I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets while you're away or take them out when you're too busy. I live with my own little crew of three cats and one dog and have fostered and cared for other animals over the years. I'm located in Yucca Valley on the mesa and have experience working and volunteering with cat and dog rescue groups, including handling large breeds and recently rescued dogs. I can provide walking, pet-sitting in your home, and active play for any size dog. I'm highly responsible, attentive, and punctual, and sensitive to pets with special needs or quirks. I love getting to know individual animals and catering to their personalities and needs. Medication, special needs, senior pets ok!

“Emily is a caring and knowledgeable pet care expert. Our dog loves her, and we feel so lucky to have found her!”

About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.

“Destiny was great with kimchi! Very responsive and kept me updated throughout the stay! I recommend her for any pet needs!!”

“Layla was amazing with our girl!! She sent me updates including photos and videos during their walk together and even went out of her way the night prior to meet Nova despite me booking last minute! So happy we found Layla, we already booked her again!”

My goal is to provide dependable care and clear communication so you can have complete peace of mind.

“Juli was very patient with our older dog. He can be difficult to get going, and she had him on his way! Slow but sure!”

Kirsten M.

“Elizabeth was awesome! She visited to walk and feed our 3 dogs and everything went smoothly. Each dog has their own quirks and Elizabeth took her time to make each dog feel comfortable. She left thorough notes in the app and was very communicative leading up to the visits. Would definitely recommend!”

About: When you book with me, you are booking someone who has her own pets and knows what it's like to need someone else to take care of them when you're away. I am a pet parent with 4 dogs! Not only that, but I have numerous experience taking care of other's pets. I've taken care of family's, friend's, and neighbor's pets. I am also a caregiver on another pet app called Wag! I'm working part time currently, so I have lots of time in my schedule to fit in dog walks, sittings, or drop-ins. I also have my own car (am willing to do a good amount of driving), and am currently taking a break from school! I have a fenced front yard and backyard at my home! I do have 4 dogs, but they're all friendly! It would also be easy to separate your dog from my dogs, as well as keep yours or my dog in a crate (I have two extra in my home).

About: I love dogs, but can't currently own one since I travel a lot for work and need to be a little flexible. I miss playing, hiking and cuddling with a pup so let me take care of yours. I travel a lot, but I have some room in my schedule to allow for some dog-sitting, playing, hanging and just general taking great care of your pup. I currently have a fenced in yard and a great hiking area nearby if you your pup is well behaved and won't damage my home. Unfortunately in May that will change and I will only be able to dog-sit in your home, but I am comfortable coming to your home where your pet feels safe. I'm attentive and follow instructions very well.

About: I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who keeps routines consistent, provides personalized attention, ensures pets feel safe and comfortable, and gives plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I have two cats myself, so I prioritize consistent visits, feeding, walks, and attention to keep pets comfortable and safe. While I am not offering boarding or day care at my own home at this time, I am quite responsible in my treatment of other people's property while caring for their pets. I can follow directions, keep gates closed, and follow safety protocols.

About: I have had larger dogs my entire life and have pet sat for family for about 4 years. I love animals and am willing to work with dogs who may need extra help! I am currently a full time student at SUU and a part time employee. I’m willing to work with your schedule as long as your willing to work with mine! I respect the clients home, boundaries, and rules with their pets. Everybody has their own beliefs about how to care for their pet and I believe as a sitter my biggest responsibility after the pets safety is to respect those beliefs.

About: Hello! My name is Sam. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have watched and taken care of dogs for many years. My husband and I have a Australian Red healer named Arturo and he also loves other dogs but if yours doesn't that totally ok! I would love to come walk them around the neighborhood, watch them for the night or weekend or just check up and feed them if needed. I am available and in Yucca Valley but able to travel to other nearby cities. I am a student and working freelance right now so I have a lot of time to be flexible right now. I can do weekdays or weekends. I would take special care when someones home and to leave it as I found it if not better. If at my place, I am a very neat and clean person and my dog has a good sized yard to have plenty of space if it was to be shared.

About: For many years I've taken care of animals. I have acquired an ability to adapt to the needs of specific pets. Whatever they need, I'm there. I'm detail oriented and very observant when it comes to animals. Rest assured, I will make sure your baby is taken care of to the best of my ability. Comfort and care are my priorities. I'm extremely open! I like to work around your schedule. I live with family right now and do online schooling. It's asynchronous meaning I can do it any time. I always keep my pets comfortable and clean. From grooming, to cleaning bedding and washing out bowls. I'm very cautious to any contaminates that can compromise the safety of a pet. Bacteria is especially rampant in outdoor areas, so I make sure my dogs are clean in the area they sleep/eat.

“We are obsessed with Katie and so are our pups! One of our dogs has barked at every single person who has ever stepped foot in our house, everyone except Katie! And we tend to have a ton of guests, our minds were blown. We’ve met with Katie twice now, and each time she has been very intuitive, attentive, knowledgeable and”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for decades now. I love pets! They are truly our best friends. Making a pet under my watch comfortable and happy is my top priority. My day revolves around my dogs, waking up and taking care of them from the moment I get up to the moment I go to bed. I understand how important quality care for your pets is, with each pet demanding it’s own approach. I am an experienced dog walker and runner. I am also knowledgeable of taking care of pets in the home, from medicating pets to making sure they are safe, secure, and happy in their home.

About: Hello! Don't let my profile location deter you from reaching out, I have a very wide service area. I am available to care for all of your pets while you're away! Please contact me for a quote if you have a pet you'd like me to care for other than a dog or cat (submit it as a dog/cat request) ☺️ New to Rover? I have a discount code for you if you book your first service with me! I am available for night and evening drop-ins to feed and play with your pets. Do you work nights and hate leaving your babies alone? Are you going to a fancy dinner and want to make sure your pets are okay when you're gone? I can come by and give you some peace of mind. I can also care for other pets, including lizards, fish, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I am a huge animal lover. I adopted a senior dog years ago and he was the best dog ever, up until his very last day in December, 2023. Our household has water snails, fish, three cats, a dog, and a pig! I have experience with rabbits and hamsters and other small pets, and I have experience with special needs animals. My longest boarding to date was 5 months for a senior cat with Cerebellar hypoplasia. My schedule recently changed, so I am available on most days for drop-ins and walks. I also offer boarding, house sitting, and daycare. We are a very animal friendly household. I have a fenced yard and a kiddie pool so your doggos can play and keep cool! My piggy will be there to keep your baby company and I have a 14 year old kid who loves to snuggle and play with all your pets! Cats will enjoy their own space so they can feel comfortable ☺️ !!!Important Notes!!!: I love watching and caring for your snuggle bug(s)! However, I have to sleep too. If you can't pick up your pet before 7pm, one additional day of boarding or doggy daycare will be added to your booking. An additional fee will be added for dogs over 40 pounds. Dogs under 1 year and/or "bully breeds" will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. By booking with me, you acknowledge that if your puppo damages property, you are responsible for any cost of repairs or replacement. When damage occurs, it is usually caused by pets that do not crate or have high anxiety when left alone for even short periods. My policy on dog breeds and sizes is in place because of two separate incidents. First, I lost a beloved pet to a boarded Rover doggo on Christmas morning, 2020. Having to put my little pig Minnie in the freezer after being attacked on Christmas morning was a horribly traumatic experience. In June 2023 I was attacked by a 110lb Rover dog at a meet and greet and had to go to the hospital. If the owner had not been present, I would have been killed. These are incidents that I will not risk repeating. Thank you so much for understanding!

About: My name is Brittney, I am about to be 30 years young! I am very reliable, outgoing and steadfast. I have been caring for and house sitting for 12 years now! I get along easily with dogs, cats any animal really. Animals are very important to family's , children, seniors and I am always aware of my surroundings an can handle situations very well. I know animals are apart of most family's life so worrying is only our first instinct, but to know someone will be there to help, helps ease those worries. As I said before I am very reliable, and also have a daughter, she is 7, Being a single mom has made me more devoted to be better in every way possible! I work very early, am off bye noon, and have the weekends off! My mom is staying with me she also does Rover and helps in the mornings before she goes to work. I have a huge, fenced in yard very well gated. My house is clean, specially the floors for the fur babies to get around easily.
