Dog Walking Shellville Colony

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was born. We had a lab and a labradoodle, who sadly passed away a few months ago. Now that we have an empty house, I decided to use my experience to help dog parents in need. I have a lot of experience handling horses, so I can take good care of any size dog:) I am currently on summer break, so I have availability. I am a bunny parent and have taken care of her on my own for 5 years. We just lost our dog, but he was my furry best friend for 12 years and I took care of and walked him. I have a large area outdoors for my bunny to play in safely, and she is secured in a hutch inside the play area at night to ensure safely from predators. When it is too hot or too cold, she will come inside the house and be free roam. She is fed unlimited hay, a portion of high quality pellets and a variation of fruits and veggies as treats. She is very healthy and happy and living her best life. I prioritize the health and well being of all animals.

“I can only say great things about Gabriel! On pretty short notice, Gabriel was able to walk my 2 small dogs for 10 days. He clearly loves dogs & they loved him. He is very reliable & attentive to the dogs needs. I won’t hesitate to hire him again.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Growing up, I raised and cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and rabbits through 4-H, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I also volunteered at the Napa Animal Shelter, where I helped care for animals and learned the importance of patience, safety, and compassion. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on their pets while they were away. I’ve also fostered kittens, which gave me experience caring for young animals and paying close attention to their individual needs. I currently have two dogs and four cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away !!! Caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy, it's what I’ve chosen to dedicate my time to. Because pet care is my primary focus, I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable care throughout the week. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, stick to their routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. With years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities, I understand that trust is everything. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I’ll provide calm, compassionate care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit !!

“Cathleen handled my two labs with love and care. She exudes a very calm nature and my dogs in a first walk without me had a great time. Cathleen is kind, caring and is energetic and is great in handling big dogs. We can hardly wait for our next time with her!”

“Kari was great! It was not easy to get to us and she was perfectly fine with it. She loved our baby, was on time, and made sure he got the best walk! We are super grateful and will book her again”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, through every stage of their lives. Growing up with dogs, they have always been like family to me. I’ve had experience with all different kinds of dogs and cats and have also worked at a doggy daycare / boarding center. Spending time with furry friends never feels like work to me. I am fortunate to live at home where I know my own dog is always cared for when I am away, so I can confidently care for yours too! I always enjoy being able to go for walks and make visits during the day in between managing my other responsibilities. As a student, I typically have more availability in the afternoons and evenings. I am happy to visit and walk with your pups during the day, providing them each the individual care that they deserve. I am open to doing group walks as well, depending on your pet’s preferences. I am also able to pet sit, where I can care for your fur babies in the comfort of their own home!

“Thank you Aileen! I’m new to using pet services and you helped me feel better about going back to work knowing my new puppies were well looked after.”

About: I am a person who cares! And I care most when it comes to your pets. My pets are my life and I understand that they are family. As an uber driver, I have a very open schedule and the ability to make frequent stops to check in with babies throughout my day! I would come equipped with a first aid kit and all safety materials. I would assure I had participated in any and all safety trainings available.

“Mariah was so great with our dogs! I felt so confident and comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Great communication and very reliable. Will definitely be booking with Mariah again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but I’ve had experience taking care of dogs on a dairy farm which got a little rowdy at times. I’m currently starting a job that will hopefully be full-time But might be a little shaky for a couple months so I’ll have a lot of free time to walk your dogs! I have a fenced yard and two dogs that are friendly for your puppy dog to play with. And if they just need a walk I will make sure that that puppy will have the best sleep after.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I first started fostering puppies and kitten at the age of 12. I am new to Rover but I have extensive hands on experience, including working for two years at small animal hospital and volunteering at local animal shelter. Currently, I am continuing my education in Veterinary Medicine during my undergrad, with the ultimate goal of becoming a Veterinarian. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort and well-being. Right now, I’m currently out for summer break. This gives me the flexibility to cater to your pets, ensuring all of their needs are met! House sitting servicies includes staying overnight with your pet so that they have confort and company in their own home. I’d be around for daytime care aswell for potty breaks every 4-6 hours, meals, playtime and of course cuddles! 30 minute walks include a fun stroll through the neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pet some exercise, mental stimulation and a breath of fresh air!

About: I’ve cared for pets and livestock my entire life, and animals have always been a huge part of my daily life. What sets me apart is that I live on spacious property, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy a calm environment while they’re away from home. I treat every animal like my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable during their stay. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of my lifestyle. Living on property means I’m consistently outside and active, so dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day — not just scheduled walks. I’m used to maintaining routines for both pets and livestock, so feeding schedules, medications, supervision, and individual care needs are something I take seriously. I enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment where they can feel relaxed and part of the family. Because I live on property, dogs have space to play, explore, and get exercise throughout the day while still being closely supervised. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine and environment. I provide dependable care, attention, exercise, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, and lots of affection while also respecting the client’s home and instructions. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I work to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible.

About: Hello! I’m Victoria, a reliable and experienced pet sitter who provides calm, attentive care so pets feel safe and comfortable in their home. Many animals seem to relax quickly around my steady, reassuring presence. With 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs while keeping their routine consistent and low-stress. I focus on maintaining familiar schedules so pets feel secure while their family is away, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and supporting their well-being. I’m especially good with pets who benefit from a calm, predictable environment. Clear communication and consistency are important to me so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and supported. My goal is always for you to return home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. When house sitting, I spend a good portion of the day in your home so your pets receive companionship and stability throughout the day and evening. I specialize in steady, routine-based overnight care and do best with well-established household rhythms. For clients outside my immediate area, I begin with a video meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine and make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m also happy to arrive a bit early on the first day to ensure a smooth, comfortable transition. If you’re looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter who truly enjoys and understands animals, I would love to connect with you. I am currently working part time remotely and so I have plenty of time to play with your beloved pets. I'm around alot, especially for the first 3 days when they're usually missing their owners a great deal. It's helpful when the owner leaves instructions for what to do for the pets so that I am aware of their schedule because pets love to stick to routine.

“Jenny stayed with George (my pug) for a long weekend and she couldn't have made us feel more at ease while we were away! Constant detailed updates, tons of pictures, and it was easy to see she was giving George just as much love as we would have given him ourselves! Highly recommend Jenny :)”

About: I am not your typical sitter; working with animals is just a way of life. There isn't a single animal I wouldn't love to work with! Whether it's your common household pet, your barnyard companions, or even the more unusual exotic creatures, I possess the expertise to care for them all! Rest assured, your pet will be in excellent hands when you choose to book with me. If your pet has any special requirements, I am more than willing to accommodate them. I also have experience in administering medication to all types of animals. Caring is simply my nature; I spend my days working full-time with animals while pursuing a degree in biology. Additionally, I am a mom. I constantly stay busy and engaged with both my children and pets. Your pets will receive the same treatment and respect as my own. They will be showered with all the love possible! While you are away, your pets will enjoy my full attention and care.

“Katie is great, she took the time to let my stand-offish dog get comfortable with her and kept in contact with me the whole time. Thanks Katie!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats both in my home and in shelters for 10+ years. Experience with newborn kittens and senior dogs as well! Many years of fostering cats makes me an experienced cat sitter, in addition to dogs and I also have experience with large animals as well. My current schedule is very flexible and I can work around a few weekly appointments/commitments to make time for your adorable pets needs as they arise! I believe in leaving your home just as or better than I found it, and assisting with you pets needs/care as cleanly, unobtrusively, and as throughly as possible

About: I have been passionate about caring for dogs my whole life. I don’t currently have pets so spending time caring for animals through Rover has been amazing! I currently work remote, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule for boarding, sitting and walking pets. I have experience with young puppies, senior dogs, special needs dogs and have done dog training as well. I have been a certified Dog-walker through Wag for 5 years and have built a very happy customer base there before recently joining Rover as well. I promise your pet is in the best hands with me! I currently work remote so I have lots of time and flexibility to provide pet care. A day with me includes lots of playtime and long walks. If I ever have to leave for a short period of time, my home and yard are the perfect safe space for a dog/cat to hang out and play! Pets in my care will be given plenty of love and attention and I will always go above and beyond to make sure they are happy and their needs are met.
