Dog Walking Riverside Rancho

About: I’ve always had pets of my own and have been caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with kittens, adult pets, and senior or medically complex animals, including providing around-the-clock hospice care for my own beloved cat after his ataxia diagnosis. I currently share my home with Leon, my one-year-old cat, and Chicken, my 26+ year-old African Grey parrot—both rescues (Chicken was found abandoned and taken in) and very loved. I love caring for pets—cats, dogs, and birds of all types and sizes—and I’m happy to welcome other small animals too, just let me know! I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. My goal is always to schedule any services based on the needs of you and your pet(s). I will always follow any instructions on how you prefer your pet to be cared for. Otherwise, I will always care for them in the safest and healthiest way available. The same way I care for my own pets. Leon is an indoor kitty with unlimited access to fresh air and sunshine from his lounging cots attached to our large windows. He loves his wet food, and his meals are on a “flexible” schedule, and no all day grazing. He receives lots of playtime with his humans and more independently. Of course, he gets brushed, not always with a happy purr, but he gets as much as he will tolerate.

“Natasha is a very kind and caring person, she genuinely loves dogs and cats and they love her back. she is a dream pet sitter, reliable a great communicator, easy to talk to, trustworthy. Coming home after a surgery, I needed someone who could be calm and respectful when picking up my little guy for a walk, and she was all of that. Her sweetness, and respect made me a fan, and we are missing her after almost a week of her kindness.”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with a small menagerie of pets. I also took care of my neighbors' dogs when they traveled. When I was 13, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter, where I learned how to handle cats and dogs with different levels of socialization. As an adult, I adopted a dog with severe separation anxiety and later managed his other health issues as a senior. I also rescued a feral kitten from the street and then foster failed with another kitten. So if your pet is a rescue and/or nervous around strangers, I will be sure to treat them with extra patience and care. I have a fairly flexible schedule at the moment, so I'm available for both one-time and recurring care for your pets. I would love to make their care part of my routine! It is important that your pet feels safe and like their routine is minimally interrupted while in my care. While I may be a new face, I will be sure to stick to your instructions regarding their routine.

“John was extremely good with the dogs, very knowledgeable on handling them. Communication was excellent and John was very flexible with walking them. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”

“Sarah took great care of my dog and cat - it's so nice to be able to go away and know that they will be fine. I also appreciated Sarah's kind patience with a last-minute change of plans. Many thanks!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life whether my own or my neighbors. I would be oh so happy to be able to care for you doggy child! I work from home on social media so I have an abundance of free time. I have two roommates that mostly travel so I’m usually in my apartment alone. I have a roof top and plenty of room to run for your doggy. The dog will only access the roof with my surveillance of course.

About: I was the go to pet sitter in my old neighborhood and loved every second! Now that I moved to the big city I want to get back into it. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also used to compete in dog agility competitions so I know a decent amount about training/ handling. I also have experience with Cats, horses, sheep, goats, rodents, and cows! I truly enjoy the opportunity to care for all types of animals and I'm very patient. I have a gentle approach but a tough will. I currently do gig work for film and part time teaching of after school arts programs so I'm very free most of the time :) I am very true to your care guide! However you like your pet cared for that's what I'll do. On top of that, I like to spend time with the animal as much as I can both for their benefit and mine. I give lots of affection and if allowed, treats!

“Alexis is by far the best walker I’ve ever used. I have a cat that I walk on leash and she can be super fearful of new people. She’s never let anyone other than myself or Alexis put her into her harness. That’s when I knew this walker was a keeper. Will gladly rebook (and tip) anytime!”

About: CPR & First Aid Certified | Insured & Bonded I have loved animals of all kinds since what seems like birth. I have years of experience caring for and working with pets of all kinds, ages, and health levels. I offer walks, drop-ins and some sitting services (see note). I am currently a stay at home mom so my days are flexible. ***Note regarding SITTING Services: I am typically unable to stay overnight in your home. However, this does not prevent me from providing high quality, attentive care. I guarantee that I will return promptly first thing the following morning to tend to your pet’s needs. I commit to working with you to find a schedule that works for you and instills confidence that your pets are taken care of up to your standards. I have experience administering medication, both oral and injections. My last dog had severe health issues and food allergies that required daily shots, pills, and home cooked meals with numerous supplements. I have experience with puppies as young as six weeks old (and kittens as young as two) as well as seniors. I’m comfortable taking care of special needs animals as well. I am communicative prior and throughout service, including updates, recaps and photos. I am incredibly patient with animals and their behaviors and pride myself in making them comfortable with me. When on walks your dog’s safety is my number one priority. I always carry a doggie water bottle in case they get thirsty or it’s hot. I'm currently the pet parent of a high energy Australian Cattle Dog/Husky mix and a well-meaning Siamese mix. COVID vaccinated. I have flexible availability Sunday-Saturday for one-time and recurring services. I am available for last minute walks, drop-ins and sitting. I am excited to meet your pets! For sitting clients, I will work with you to find a schedule that works for you and your pets. I can come over as early, stay late, and spend lots of time with your pets. I pay attention to details and aim to follow all the instructions to the letter and I pride myself in being very communicate. I have experience meeting both gregarious and shy dogs. I have patience to let your pets come to me so that they feel comfortable with me in their home. Safety on walks is number one priority. This starts with secure leash/harness and includes awareness of triggers, and being conscious about the heat/cold.

“Madeline is very sweet and took Lulu out for a walk today! She took care of all of Lulu’s needs and my baby girl seemed very happy with her. Yay!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Bertha! She has been an absolute blessing for me and my dog, Penny. From the very beginning, it was clear that Bertha truly cares, not just about doing the job, but about the dogs she works with. Penny warmed up to her right away, which says a lot, and every time Penny see’s Bertha, Penny’s tail would practically wag off! Bertha is reliable, thoughtful, and so gentle with Penny. She always takes the time to send little updates or pictures, and I can tell she pays attention to the details. It’s such a comfort knowing that my dog is in loving, capable hands when I’m not around. Thank you, Bertha, for taking such good care of Penny. We’re both so grateful for you!”

“Corey has been wonderful with my Shiba, Maple. She can be very difficult with new people but Corey had no trouble at all getting her into her harness, out on walks, and taken well care of. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
