Dog Walking Riverside

“Rachel was a huge help when I was out of town for the weekend, walking and feeding my girl who has some behavioral issues. She was communicative, kind, and most of all - great with my pup! Thanks for everything and will definitely book again!”

“Thomas has been an absolute gem of a dog walker for our pup, Milo! From day one, his communication has been clear, timely, and reassuring — we always knew when walks were happening and how Milo was doing. He’s incredibly reliable and consistent, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even more importantly, it’s obvious how much he genuinely cares about dogs. Milo warmed up to him right away, and it’s been clear from their post-walk photos and updates that he absolutely adores Thomas! We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our furry family member. Highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for a caring, dependable dog walker.”

About: I’ve cared for numerous different kinds of animals over the last 7 years, especially dogs and cats! I’ve spent several years caring for an old pup that needs pills and special care. I’ve raised a puppy to be a very sweet and gentle well trained baby. I know how to get your pups energy out and care for your older animals. I am working part time and have plenty of time to play with your pets! I take my own dogs on walks 2-3 times a day, in addition to 2-3 play sessions with frisbee or fetch. My pups are my passion and I would love to have yours join the crew for a bit! I have a fully fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your pets entertained and happy! I take them on several walks a day and several play sessions. I have a separate area for pet if they prefer or need their space. My home is safe, fun, yet calm at the right times!

“I had a great experience with Hannah as a dog walker! She communicated promptly to coordinate everything and took my puppy Luna's schedule into consideration, which I really appreciated. She arrived right on time, took Luna on a nice walk, and sent lots of pictures throughout. Luna looked so happy and comfortable in every photo. It was clear she was in great hands, and I’d happily book with Hannah again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, including two Labrador Retrievers named Maverick and Goose, and a Beagle that I cared for over 10 years, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, exercise, and understanding different personalities. I’ve also done several overnight house-sitting and dog care jobs, working with a wide range of breeds, from small dogs like pugs to larger, high-energy dogs like huskies. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and caring for them. The first animal I really fell in love with was a manatee when I was about 5 years old living in Florida, and that kind of stuck with me. My time as a kid was spent at the beach boogie boarding out into the ocean hoping a dolphin would find me and become my friend. Growing up, I loved going to the aquarium and the zoo to learn about different animals, and I’ve always been especially drawn to red pandas and stingrays. That curiosity and appreciation carries over into how I care for pets—I really enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe and happy. In addition, I have a lot of hands-on caregiving experience through taking care of my brother who has special needs, as well as working with special needs youth. That’s taught me to be patient, attentive, and very in tune with individual needs, which I bring into how I care for animals as well. Pet care honestly fits into my routine really naturally because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I have a part-time job in the mornings and some evenings, so I have a lot of flexibility during the day to spend quality time with dogs—whether that’s going on long walks, stopping by for visits, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I grew up with dogs and took care of my Beagle for 10 years, so I’m very used to building my day around their needs. It doesn’t feel like a task to me—it’s something I love doing. Being around dogs, getting outside, and making sure they’re happy and cared for is something I naturally make time for every day. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and at ease by sticking closely to their normal routine. I know how important consistency is, so I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions carefully. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make sure their dog is always supervised and within my sight. I pay attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to what they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just relaxing together so they don’t feel alone. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I create a calm, safe environment where they get plenty of attention, exercise, and downtime. I really just try to treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel happy and cared for the whole time.

“Stephanie did an amazing job walking Mookie! She was incredibly helpful and showed so much patience during their first meeting, making sure Mookie felt comfortable and at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared about making the experience great for both of us. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog walker. Mookie can’t wait for his next walk with her!”

“Michelle responded quickly and took amazing care of Nika. She was very familiar with the neighborhood and confident in her care of dogs. I would absolutely ask Michelle to take care of Nika again.”

About: Please read :) I have taken care of my 14 year old chihuahua since he was a puppy! I adopted both my cats as kittens and they’re now 4 and 1 year old. Love to take care of pets and give them the attention they need! Please let me know if your pet requires specific needs regarding petting or feeding. I am open to taking care of any breeds. Please let me know if your pet gets aggressive around people or other pets! I’m currently self-employed so I can work based on you and your pet’s needs! I’m available for sitting on weekdays Mon-Fri. If you need to book for a weekend, please let me know at least a week beforehand, thank you :) I can provide your pet with proper care based on you and their preferences and needs. I can crate your pets if needed and help in any way possible!

“I had a great experience with Leilani! She was very attentive and communicative from the start. I really appreciated how she took the time to ask thoughtful questions to better understand my dog’s needs, personality, and routine. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: Like most reasonable people, I’ve loved animals my whole life. I spent many Saturdays as a young adult just hanging out and volunteering at the animal shelter because it made me so happy. I think what sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very patient, self-aware, and I’m not easily grossed out. I’ve sat still for hours waiting for an animal to trust me enough to approach me. I make sure to read their bodies before extending my hand, and I am conscientious of making noise because I want them to be comfortable. I don’t have a weak stomach when it comes to shedding, drool, or accidents. I am a substitute teacher for elementary schools in the area and I work when I can, but there are many days when there are no listings available, or that I’m working partial days. I’m generally pretty free. I will follow the direction and guidelines of the pet owner to keep the animal safe. I am a cautious person and would not let somebody else’s pet outside without a harness or secure fence unless otherwise directed.

“Kaitlin was quick to reach out about Pep making some unusual sounds and we were able to troubleshoot it together. I appreciate her being so thoughtful and kind to my pup.”

“Billy was great! We met Billy just a few days before our walking needs and he was friendly, communicative, and awesome with our 70 pound sweet dog. Smokey loved walking with Billy and was always happy coming home!”
