Dog Walking Temecula Ranchos

“Ako is an amazing dog walker. She always updates you when she’s with your dog and sends lots of pictures! She absolutely goes above and beyond for her clients and takes care of your pet like they’re her own. I would highly recommend Ako to others.”

About: I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. We ADORE all animals! Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a huge heart and could not live without animals in my life. I am very active and look forward to the opportunity to walk, play and love on your pets! For the past 40+ years I have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, horses and more. I recently lost my Great Dane after a decade of getting to love him. He had DCM since he was a puppy so I have extensive knowledge of caring for that, giant breed needs and know how to track and administer many medications. Being a stay at home mom I've often thought about walking and caring for other animals while they're humans are away at work or vacay! I recently discovered Rover and know this is a perfect fit for me! I am very patient and have experience with all areas of pet care from walking to medication dosing and everything in between! I am currently home full-time while homeschooling my youngest child who is now in his teens. Our schedule is extremely flexible, which allows us to work with whatever schedule needs you have. I have a very large, completely fenced in yard with a locked gate. We are taking a break from pet ownership and would love to open our home to care for your animals. I have experience caring for dogs and other household pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, long or shorter walks, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements to ensure your pet feels happy and secure.

About: Our family has taken care of friends and families pets along with our own. Grew up with dogs, comfortable in giving medication, bathing as needed. This family of 4 enjoys being outdoors playing in our fenced backyard or walks to the nearest park. We have two small dogs (spayed maltipoo and neutered beagle yorkie) who loves other dogs and is very friendly. We have 2 kids between 12-16 that enjoy new pets. We want you to feel comfort in leaving your 4 legged family member with us. Both of us work from home during the week and off on weekends. With our own pets, we have a schedule from 7am to evening from breakfast to play time.

“Madison was fantastic! She walked my puppy, Ted, for three days and exceeded all my expectations. She was always on time, super communicative, and sent me adorable pictures of Ted during their walks. I really appreciated how flexible she was with my time requests, which made coordinating with her so easy. Madison's friendly demeanor and care for Ted gave me peace of mind, and it was clear she genuinely enjoys working with animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Thank you, Madison! 🐾”

About: I am currently a veterinary assistant student, taking care of your animals will give me the opportunity to be able to expand my school experience and give you confidence in me and my capabilities when it comes to taking care of your pets. I am currently a student, my class schedule is Monday-Thursday therefore i am not able to do overnight stays during the week. Friday-Sunday i am completely free and will be able to take care and put my full attention to your pets. I will be available to do drop ins and walks during the week anytime before 5pm. I know how to work well with animals and give them the time they need, i will work to gain the pets and owner’s trust. I know how to handle animals if they are misbehaving and need to be put in a time out if anything of the sorts were to happen.

“Marisa tried her best to get Nori walking each day. For some reason, Nori doesn’t like to go walk with any dog walker other than my husband. She doesn’t walk with me either😫 Marisa was so patient, and kept at it until she got comfortable enough to walk and follow her lead. We will definitely ask Marisa to help out again.”

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats ever since I was little. Currently, I do not have any cats or dogs of my own but have plenty of experience sitting for both. I am trustworthy and while you are away, I can offer your pet a calm, gentle presence and love! During the week, I often have a lot of free time on my hands. I have established a routine where I take an hour walk in the neighborhood after work and am just looking to incorporate my love for animals into my daily/weekly walk or routine. To care for pets, I always ensure their basic needs are met (ie., food, water, comfortable place to sleep). Once I get to know a pet better, I can understand more of its' unique needs (ie., whether or not to get it toys or put a blanket on top of it when it's sleeping). I think creating a safe, trusty environment first depends on the receptivity of the animal towards me.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the patience and genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I’m gentle with pets of all ages, personalities, and abilities, and I’m never afraid to get down on the floor and take the time to earn their trust, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I’ve rescued and cared for animals in some pretty challenging situations, including dogs on the streets experiencing severe heat stroke and emergencies during Southeast Missouri’s extreme weather. I’ve also fostered kittens who were sick and needed extra care, patience, and nurturing before they were healthy enough to be adopted. I’ve always had a dog since the day I was born. I started raising my own dogs since I was about 9 years old, and I’ve been involved in house training, crate training, maintaining daily routines, and administering medications according to their prescribed instructions and labels. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure pets stay on their normal schedules while their owners are away. I’m also a clean freak, and I believe taking care of your home is part of taking care of your pets. I’ve personally experienced coming home to dirty litter boxes, pet vomit, stains, and messes that weren’t cleaned up after previous sitters. That’s something I never want a pet owner to experience. If your pet makes a mess, I clean it up. I’ll keep litter boxes maintained, clean up accidents, vomit, tracked-in dirt, and other everyday pet messes, and leave your home the way I found it, or better. To me, pet sitting isn’t just about making sure a pet is fed and let outside. It’s about making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood while their person is away. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most at home. Animals deserve the world in the short time we get with them, and I want to make sure I give them that. I recently relocated back home to Temecula from my college town in Missouri and currently have a very flexible schedule while I look for a part-time job. I’m a stay-at-home fiancé and pet mom to two dogs and two cats, so I’m already home caring for pets every day! My pets are all spayed/neutered, up to date on their vaccines, and social. I’m currently available throughout the day, with my only regular commitment being about two hours at the gym. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and work around their routines. My dogs wake me up at 6am on the dot to go potty and eat breakfast, and at 5pm they are ready for dinner. I value my pets’ routines because without them, I wouldn’t have a routine myself I have a fully fenced backyard where my inside dogs are able to safely go outside throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and cues-if they’re telling me they need to go out, I let them lead me to the backyard rather than making them wait. I have a 35-lb female Terrier/Lab mix and an 80-lb female Silver Lab. Both spayed and up-to-date on their shots. My Silver Lab is a gentle giant who was especially popular with the “littles” at doggy daycare, often spending time with the 10–25 lb dogs. She was also raised around my grandma’s Yorkies, so she’s very comfortable around smaller dogs. Your pet will always be treated like the VIP! I’ll make sure your pet gets priority during playtime and attention, even if that means taking the ball away from my own dog so your pup gets a turn!🎾

About: Currently welcoming new dog-walking and drop-in clients! I check messages daily and would love to learn about your pet’s routine. Hi, I’m Megan! I bring more than 10 years of professional animal care experience from animal shelters, dog daycare and boarding, and working as a zookeeper. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including seniors, pets needing medication, and those who need extra patience to feel comfortable. My experience has taught me to read animal body language, notice subtle changes, and follow detailed care routines. Whether your pet loves an adventure or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll take the time to learn what helps them feel safe and happy. As a pet parent to my dog, Blueberry, I understand how much trust goes into choosing a sitter. You can expect thoughtful care, respect for your home, and photos and a personal update after every visit. I plan my bookings carefully so each pet gets dedicated time and attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and will confirm visit times with you before booking to make sure I can meet your pet’s needs. Before our first booking, I’d love to meet you and your pet, learn their routine, and go over any questions or special instructions. Your pet’s comfort and safety guide every visit. I follow your care instructions closely, check collars, harnesses, and leashes, and make sure doors and gates are secure. On walks, I pay attention to your dog’s body language and give unfamiliar animals and people space. Shy or cautious pets get time to warm up at their own pace. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and learn all the little quirks that make your pet who they are. Before leaving, I’ll make sure your pet is settled and your home is secure.

“Gabriel was great with Rue! Communicated with us well and was right on time. Rue seemed very happy and excited. Will definitely book with him again.”

About: I am a Massage Therapist for over 26 years taking a little break from the spa world. I found myself having extra time. Recently, my friends have been asking me to dog sit for them and I thought why not open my services to my community. I recently watched a very sweet dog for a week became very attached giving lots of love and massages. I have a friendly five year-old dog that loves companionship. We have a pool that we all love to get into and cool off. I can give dog baths, dog walks dog parties. Have comfort in knowing that your dog will be well taken care of. I have the flexibility with my work schedule to only be gone 5 to 6 hours any given day. I can do check-ins a couple of times a day as well as overnight sitting in my own home. We have a decent size fenced yard. We live on a pretty quiet street with only one or two dog neighbors. My dog copper is very friendly and loves company. Copper normally stays inside, especially during the hot months. We have a park nearby that I like to throw the ball and get the wiggles out. On occasion, we take our dog to a dog park.

About: I have been trusted to take care of others’ pets for approximately ten years now. I absolutely adore animals and think they deserve the world, so your pet’s wants and needs are my number one priority! If my prices are not in your range, I am happy to negotiate something that is fair for us both. I am a new nursing student who is focusing on school right now. I have plenty of time throughout the week to walk, bathe, feed, and play with your fur baby! I will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away. I am willing to check in on your pets as many times as you feel necessary, or even stay with them throughout the day. I always say “treat others how you would want to be treated,” so I hold the same expectations to myself that I would have someone who was watching my pet.

“Mia never disappoints and always goes above and beyond! Have booked her multiple times and will continue to!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have enjoyed caring for pets my whole life. I had my sweet girl Stella, a pug, for 13 years. I crate, potty, and recall trained her as a puppy, fed her a balanced diet of vitamins and homemade food throughout her life, and gave her loving, gentle care in her senior hospice years. I’ve also cared for my mom’s boxer for a year and even taught her, her favorite trick… tossing a treat up with her nose and catching it! I’ve looked after my friends’ pets as well, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, senior dogs, birds (parrot), a chameleon, and special mentioned of a disabled Frenchie who needed a little extra help to go potty. I make friends with any neighborhood kitties when they let me. Usually just takes a bit of chicken or turkey. Lol I work from home and also work a couple part time jobs so I am home often. When I do leave, it its only for about 4 hours or so. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that giving their family peace of mind makes leaving them just a little bit easier.

“Krysta has been dependable, reliable, and great with our two high energy dogs. She goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs are taken care of and get the proper attention they deserve. I highly recommend Krysta.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and genuinely don’t remember a time when animals weren’t part of my life! I started house-sitting for fellow military families when I was 16, which taught me early on how important it is to respect routines, homes, and the deep trust people place in someone caring for their pets 🫶🏼 I’m a sensitive, intuitive, and I pay close attention to each animal’s cues. I’m especially gentle with pets who need time to warm up, prefer their space at first, or experience separation anxiety. I’m happy to meet animals where they are, whether that’s instant best-friend energy or a slow, steady build of trust. I’ve cared for pets across all life stages, from puppies to senior pets who need extra patience, structure, and care. One of my closest friends is a certified dog trainer, and I’ve learned a lot through him (and his dog) about behavior, communication, and creating calm, consistent environments for dogs. I’d love to be a steady, loving presence so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away! I am currently working remotely and have a very flexible schedule, for both weekdays and weekends! I'm happy to work around your and your pet’s schedules, but my standard house sitting rate assumes I can step out for errands or other commitments during the day. For requests that require more attentive supervision throughout the day, we'll discuss a fair additional fee before booking. It’s so important for both you and your pets to feel your space is respected. I’m very careful with details and keep notes to keep your home safe, clean, and honored 🙏🏼

“Maddie is patient and caring with our special needs dog and it was easy for her to understand our dogs needs :)”

About: Hello My Fellow Dog/Cat Lovers! My name is Bren, and just wanted to share with you a little about myself while you are making your choice for a dog walker/pet sitter. I have been blessed to start my dream business, Temecula VIPets, full-time, after 30+ years in the medical field and property management. I have lived in Temecula’s Harveston Lake Community since 2008, and I have had the pleasure to care for and rescue dogs and cats (all sizes/breeds) for over 50 years. I have never met a dog or cat I did not like and vice versa. Currently, I have two spoiled little terrier-mixes, Sofia and Sissy, which I rescued 7 years ago. And yes, I enjoy spoiling them, like I will enjoy spoiling your pet(s) as well...each dog/cat will enjoy their special Temecula VIPet treatment while staying with me, or during our walks, or my drop-in visits to say hello - caring for your pet(s) is my #1 priority 💖 Living in the Harveston Lake Community is wonderful, as it provides the best place for me to give your dog(s) unlimited walks a day around the lake and it gives them socialization with other doggies. Unlike other boarding, my home is a relaxing and a calm environment for them to play and take naps. To soothe your dog(s) from anxiety, I have doggy music playing all the time.

About: Im an active person who enjoys being out doors. I love taking care of my friends and families pets and taking them to dog parks while their family is gone for work or weekend get-away. Caring for dogs has helped my anxiety and help the pups get the care they need while their family is away. Ive been dog sitting for about 10 years now with dogs as small as chihuahuas and some as large as 50-100lbs. I have a pet tortoise so i am open to caring for reptiles and other pets besides dogs/cats in your home. Im currently available Monday through Friday to come to your home and care for your pet, with some weekend availability to stop in to check on your baby as many times as you’d like.

About: I have lots of experience with big breeds like mastiffs and shepherds. I had a german shepherd for ten years and I trained her as a puppy to do security work with me. I currently have two chihuahuas and four cats in my home. I bond great with animals and I’ll bond great with yours. I have a very flexible schedule. I work from home and I can do same day walks and drop-ins. I can also offer long-term house sitting. I did private security for three years and am confident I will keep your pet and home safe while you’re away. I can provide baths, walks, road trips, or anything that makes your dog or cat happy.
