Dog Walkers in Rutherford, CA

About: I’ve had neighbors, friends and family rely on my to take care of their kids and pets since I was about 16 but I didn’t start really doing it a lot until I was about 18 and driving. I’m used to taking care of kids and animals at the same time so just taking care of animals would be pretty easy for me. I currently only work weekends 11:15-5:15pm other than that I’m fully available. I do play in some soccer leagues but I’ll only be gone about an hour and a half of the days I play. I am comfortable putting dogs in crates, picking up after animals, feeding them, letting them out and giving them as much love as they will take lol.

“Ronald walked my two dogs - one who small and anxious and the other who is medium sized and high energy. He came over to meet them beforehand and they warmed right up. Will definitely ask him to walk them again in the future!”

About: I love dogs and have had them for years! Mostly English Bulldogs who require attentive care. I grew up with Labradors trained for duck and dove hunting. As such, my English Bulldog fetches and has the heart of a Labrador for three tosses before she collapses in the cool grass. I currently have a 12 year old English Bulldog Princess at home who has her whims catered too. She however does not like walks as much as I do. Hoping to take your dog along on a walk through town, or a “sniff and stroll” if that’s more their speed. Also, happy to do house visits in town for your peace of mind. Very responsible and respectful. I am a Yountville resident and work from home. Occasionally I have days away but know well in advance for scheduling. I am at early riser too! I would love to check-in on your dog or walk your dog during the day from your home and return. Best for day check-ins. I can also hang out with your dog at their house for a little bit focusing on cuddles and belly rubs.

About: I have lots of experience caring for pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with them, I cater to each pet’s individual needs. I’m passionate about animals and strive to provide the best care for your pets while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, as I prioritize giving each pet the attention and care they need. Each day includes feeding, walking, playtime, and regular check-ins to ensure pets are happy and healthy. Weekly, I ensure pets get consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and any special care they may require, like administering medication or grooming. Pet care is a rewarding part of my schedule, and I make sure to provide a structured and loving environment for every pet I look after. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and explore. Pets receive regular meals, daily walks, and engaging activities to keep them happy and healthy. I also provide lots of attention and affection, treating them like family members. Whether it's grooming, training, or simply offering companionship, I make sure each pet feels loved and secure during their stay.

About: Hey there! I'm a gal who doesn't own a dog (just 3 cats!) who works from home some days of the week and is happy to take care of your pooch! I joke with my friends and family that I'm a kennel for their pups when they go out of town - why not help out other local friends! I have owned dogs my whole life but just don't have the time to own one currently so I'm happy to help out those that need someone to watch their fur baby! We have a wonderful large fenced yard in a quiet part of St. Helena. Your dog can have free access to the home and our fenced in yard. Quiet neighborhood next to vineyards where the pup can play! Happy to help you out - bring on the dogs! I love them all and am a fun and active person who will take wonderful care of your pet ( just ask my friends how obsessed I am with my cats Grover, Fat Freddy & Ralph!!). Thank you! I work from an office most days with the exception of event weekends and some evenings. I do sometimes have to leave during the day but your dog would be in a secure home with us. Fenced yard on the vineyard and close by lots of walking and vineyards. We do have 3 cats so I prefer your dog to be cat friendly or be able to take some hissing from them.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Now that I’m living away from home I really miss having pets around. Help me get my dog fix and I’ll love your pets like my own! I’m working full time but I am available every day, generally during the daytime. I’d love to come take your dog out for a midday walk while you’re working. I’m also training for a marathon, so if your dog is more energetic I’d love a running buddy. I can take care of your dogs in your home or take them for walks! I love long walks and hikes with active dogs, but I’d also love short walks with your elderly pups too!
