Dog Walking In Riverside

“Katrina was wonderful! She responded quickly and was so kind during our meet-and-greet. Bucky felt immediately comfortable with her and even went right up to her for pets. She asked great questions, paid attention to every detail, and followed all instructions perfectly. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.

“Rachel came and helped me very last minute for dog walking when I had long work days! She was very responsive and so easy to work with and my pets are very happy :-)”

Experience&Embrace

About: I have 3 years of hands-on pet care experience with a diverse range of animals, specializing in dog and cat care, with additional expertise caring for chickens, lizards, bunnies, and other pets. My clients appreciate my flexibility, attention to detail, and ability to handle both young puppies and senior pets with equal care and patience. I'm currently pursuing my dog behavioral training certification through GoodPup, giving me deeper insight into pet behavior and communication. I also bring an EVERLIT Pet First Aid Kit with me to every booking and walk—your pet's safety is my priority. What sets me apart is my commitment to exclusive, focused care. I don't have my own pets and I never double-book: your pet gets my complete, undivided attention. I work from home with flexible hours, which means I'm available throughout the day for their needs: morning and afternoon visits in a single day, weekend availability, or multi-week house sitting. This flexibility is especially valuable for puppies, seniors, and high-energy dogs that need consistent attention. My clients appreciate knowing their pet is receiving dedicated care in a calm, stress-free environment where I prioritize safety, respect your home, communicate transparently, and tailor care to each pet's unique personality. I work from home with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily accommodate your pet's needs: House Sitting: Full-time presence in your home with availability throughout the day and overnight. I'm particularly great for puppies and senior dogs that need consistent attention. No extra cost for pets requiring constant care. Regular Visits: I'm flexible around your schedule and can easily manage both morning and afternoon visits in a single day. I'm always available on weekends and can adjust timing based on your needs. Flexibility: I'm comfortable with extended multi-week bookings. My work-from-home setup means your pet never feels alone. I'm genuinely present throughout the day, working in your common areas while providing company and regular updates. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets I care for. I ensure they're comfortable, follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and engage in playtime tailored to their needs. I keep the environment clean, respect clients' homes, and communicate regularly to maintain trust and transparency. If it's my first time caring for your pet, I provide an optional care guide for you to fill out with questions about your pet like walking routes, food schedule, favorite toys, and more. For house sits specifically, this includes questions like where cleaning supplies are located and house care preferences like watering plants and getting mail.

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have always had my own dog (inside dog, outside dog, sometimes both). I have entered and won obedience and showmanship shows with my dogs. I trained two of my dogs in 4-H for over 5 years. Growing up with pets has allowed me to develop a strong love for all kinds of animals. When caring for others’ animals, I always keep in mind how I would want my own animal to be treated. I am currently working on my teaching certificate which is completely online! This allows me to make my own schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings! I live in an apartment. I am open to cat/dog sitting depending on the breed. I live in a very walkable area where I can take the animals outside when needed.

“Priscilla was so kind and patient with my new rescue dog! He really took to her and within just a few walks was visibly sad and upset when the walk was finished!”

“Madison replied to a last-minute need and did a great job! Very reliable and communicative. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi! My girlfriend and I are dedicated and experienced Rover sitters with a true passion for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve spent years caring for pets through Rover and beyond, building a strong reputation for reliability, attentiveness, and creating a safe, fun environment for every dog I watch. One thing that makes my care unique is that my partner and I work together as a team. With both of us present, your dog gets double the attention, supervision, and playtime. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just keeping your pup company, we make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and loved at all times. I have experience with: • High-energy dogs that need lots of activity • Senior dogs requiring extra patience and care • Maintaining routines (feeding schedules, medications, etc.) We treat every dog like family and focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication while you’re away so you always know your pet is in good hands. If you’re looking for dependable, attentive care with plenty of love and playtime, we’d be happy to help! I like to take the pups to zilker or just spend time with them at home. Don’t mind going on walks if it’s a nice day out. I make sure to play with them, feed them routinely and take them on walks. Open to any other suggestions if needed of course. Thanks

“Abby was so awesome with our dog Marlow! She came over, got to know him and they instantly hit it off. She is caring and responsible. I would definitely recommend.”

About: I have cared for and watched dogs all my life! Love taking them on walks for some good exercise for us both! I also have my own dog (currently not so me in city) and he was very high energy, so I am used to that as well. All dogs are welcome! I would be able to take any lunchtime walk in between 12 pm-1 pm and also 5pm-7pm. Can be flexible if any other time is requested, just please let me know and I can work it out. I am sure to be careful and watch them on a frequent basis to ensure that they are comfortable and happy. Work from home so I can keep a watchful eye on them! I have a pretty spacious apartment so lots of room for them to roam around. When it comes to walking, I have many paths and walkable areas by me as well.

About: Hi! I’m a professional journalist who works from home, so I’d be able to give your dog plenty of attention. My home is very close to the river, with hiking and bike trails for lovely dog walks. I run or walk at least twice daily (winter and summer), so I'd love to take your dog with me. I have a flexible work schedule and can do evenings and weekends. I grew up with dogs and have regularly cared for my friends' and neighbors dogs while they are on vacation as well as enjoying Rover for many years. I’d be happy for you to come over and meet me and see my home before you commit to anything. The pups usually feel more comfortable if they have a chance to sniff around before their first stay too! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dogs! Isla I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I'm an early riser and love to be outdoors as much as they do! I have a flexible WFH schedule so I can usually accommodate most drop off/pick up times before 10 pm. I never let dogs off-leash. You can't be too careful! I do not have any pets and only take one pup at a time for safety reasons.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since before I could walk! I grew up in a home with dachshunds, pugs, labs, and lovable mutts (not to mention guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards, fish and even a duck at one point), which means I've had hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and care needs from a very young age. Feeding schedules, daily walks, baths, brushing, and basic training were just part of growing up. At home, I help my roommate to care for a bichon and a dachshund. Beyond my own household, I've regularly cared for family and friends' dogs and cats, fitting into their routines seamlessly and keeping their pets comfortable and happy. I'm confident with both high-energy dogs that need a good long walk and lower-key companions who just want company and consistency. What sets me apart: dogs have simply always been part of my world. I'm easy-going, calm, and genuinely attentive. I'm generally a homebody so pets in my care get attentive and consistent company. I work fully remote (part-time) with a flexible schedule, which means pet care fits easily into any part of my day. I'm not squeezing walks in between a 9 to 5 or rushing to jump back into a meeting. I can genuinely adapt to what your dog needs and take all the time they need for extra belly rubs. I have my own car, so I can reach clients across a wide area reliably and on time, regardless of weather or transit issues. Last-minute requests and schedule changes are usually not a problem. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, my priority is keeping things calm, consistent, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow the owner's instructions closely (such as feeding times, walking routes, off-limit areas, any quirks or phobias your pet has) because familiar routines reduce stress for animals and build trust quickly. I'm attentive to safety on walks: I keep dogs on leash, pay attention to their reactions to other dogs and people, and don't take risks. I'll always communicate with you — a quick update or photo so you know your pet is doing well. Your home and your pet are treated with genuine care and respect.

“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”

Haley V.

“James was great with my pup, Princesa. He dropped in to take her for a walk on 2 long days when I was at the office and I came home to a relaxed and happy pup! Will definitely hire him again!”

“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”

Maya F.

“Very communicative and responsible with our young and vivacious puppy. Christian worked her flawlessly on walks, reinforcing some training we’ve been doing while adapting to any particular needs she had that day. I would highly recommend!”

About: Hi I’m Kelsey! I’d love to help you with your pet(s)! I’ve been pet sitting for years and have client testimonials I’d be happy to provide you with. Your pet will be in good hands! I will go above and beyond to truly spend time entertaining your pet and brightening their day while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including reactive dogs. I absolutely love spending time with animals and will truly treat your pet like my own. Speaking of my own, I have a boxer who is the absolute light of my life. I love him so much and spoil him rotten. I’ll treat your pet the same! Something you should know about me…When I walk into a house or business with a pet present that’s the first thing I’m paying attention to regardless of why I’m there. I work from home and love going on walks every day. I’d love to take your dog(s) with me on my next walk! Or if you need someone to stop by mid-day because you’re stuck in the office and just want someone to spend some time with your pet I can do that too. I’ll bring my computer with me! Did you think I forgot about cats? Never! I’d love to check in on your cat for you while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to visit your pet soon! I work remotely full time. I’m available most of the day for drop in visits and walks! I can come over in the morning for early morning walks before it gets too hot. I can come over mid-day for a lunch break walk or drop in visit. I can come in the evenings if you have somewhere to be after work and need peace of mind that your pet will be well taken care of. I will take extra care of your pets in your home. I’ll ensure they have everything they need and extra attention while you’re away. I love a good couch cuddle moment with your pet, walks of any distance or length, and am happy to interact with them using whatever toys or things they may have to use or play with. Mental stimulation is very important for pets, especially while you’re away to help their minds and bodies relax. I can use puzzle games, slow feeders, lick mats, or any other things you have for your pet to give them mental stimulation. I take great pride in leaving a place better than I found it and I’ll be respectful of you, your pet, and your home while I’m visiting.
