Dog Walking Valley Forest

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to have a dog or cat, so I cherished my pet turtle and fish. At 16, I finally got the chance to own dogs, and I’ve cared for and trained both since they were puppies. From potty training to leash training, the experience taught me responsibility, patience, and personal growth. Being around animals has always brought me joy, and I love giving them the care and attention they deserve. My work schedule fluctuates throughout the week. I have 2 dogs now and 1 angel baby. My soul dog passed away in Oct 2025. Mochi is a Miniature American Eskimo and Bean is a Boxer! When caring for pets, my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I follow their regular routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime, to minimize stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect while ensuring their pet’s needs are met. From belly rubs and cuddles to keeping up with training and medications, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and requirements to make them feel right at home.

“Valentina is absolutely amazing! She is so sweet and kind and took such great care of my Winnie. She made sure to include pictures and a detailed summary and went above and beyond. As a nervous dog owner, she eased my nerves and made sure my Winnie was a happy pup before, during and after the walk. She is reliable and I will most certainly be happy to use her in the future.”

I am a trained army vet tech and have experience working with and caring for animals. The only services I’m unable to provide are boarding since I am living on base.

“Mercy is very responsive to messages. She was very patient when first meeting Harri to let her warm up to her at her own pace. Mercy has been great to work with and has gone above and beyond by bringing in packages when she’s here.”

About: I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs. Ingres up with cats and dogs. I helped train dogs on the military and I have fostered cats and dogs. I am currently looking for part time jobs. I recently retired and looking for something to keep me busy. I love animals and have a bunch of experience with care. I do have a fenced in yard. I also have two great kiddos. I have supplies to sit for cats and dogs if that’s needed.

About: I am a furmom to our adorable and loving shih tzu, Buckley! I worked in 2 animal hospitals (now work from home) and have knowledge of pet care and any other information needed that goes along with caring for your babies! I have open availability and myself or my husband will always be home to care for your babies. Any time, on call, and any hours as well. I have a fenced backyard to play and run around. I allow the pet to be free in my home and will provide all the cuddles and love while in my care!

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and previously worked at a doggy daycare where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities every day. My job has given me hands-on experience supervising playgroups, understanding dog body language, and making sure dogs stay safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ve also taken care of my own dogs for years, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and older dogs who may need a little extra patience and care. I’m also experienced caring for multiple dogs at once and making sure everyone feels safe and included. I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure your pet feels relaxed and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for! Caring for animals has been a regular part of my routine through both my professional experience working at a dog daycare and caring for pets in my own life. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and monitoring pets’ well-being. I make reliability a priority and ensure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it keeps them in a familiar, comfortable environment and helps reduce stress. When I provide in-home care, I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times, keep the home clean and respected, and give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up walking dogs, raising kittens, and training puppies. Now I have two cats who are super chill and keep to themselves when dogs are around. I don’t have a dog right now because I travel occasionally, but I love spending time with them and have cared for dogs of all ages. I’m active and enjoy walks in my neighborhood and at a nearby park (with your permission, of course). I also have a yard, but dogs would only go out supervised for playtime or potty breaks. I’m experienced with giving oral medications and happy to stick to any training routines you’d like. As a Rover user myself, I know how important it is to trust your sitter, and I’ll treat your pets like my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home, so your pets will never feel alone. My mom and adult sister live with me, so there’s always someone around to ensure a safe and loving environment. (We all love animals!) Caring for animals is a natural and enjoyable part of my life, and I’d love to make your pet feel at home with me! My priority is making my home a safe and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. Dogs are supervised at all times, whether they’re playing in the yard, going for walks, or relaxing indoors. Cats stay inside and can have their own space away from my two chill, cat & dog-friendly cats. In my clients’ homes, I stick to their routines, ensuring pets feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or administering medication, I focus on keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress free while their owners are away.

About: When I was a caregiver not only was I caring for them but I was also caring for their pets. Since I took care of a great deal of seniors I got a lot of experience caring for all the different types of fur babies. Not only did I enjoy playing , feeding and caring for their pets but walking them on the daily was definitely enjoyable. Regarding my schedule I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I’m resdy to play and enjoy my day with your fur baby.As for onboarding goes during the week works best for me. I have a fenced in backyard so taking your fur baby out to play and run around wouldn't be a problem. I’m able to provide potty breaks. I also have a plastic pool out back incase he/she wants to splash in the water and cool off. I only ask for kennel for them to sleep in over night.

“Nancy was great with Molly, they bonded quickly The walk went well, Molly was happy. Nancy has a good understanding of dogs and has patience. Definitely would recommend her and use her again.”

About: My first ever dog Rey Mysterio who is now 12 was taught by myself at the age of 12 to sit and lay down. Ever since then I’ve just loved him and his brother Duke along with my two cats as much as I can because they’re here for a good time not a long time. I think animals need a little extra care and affection to fit into their lives because all they do is love and care for us. I’m currently working only a part time job and looking to leave soon due to some medical issues with my carpal tunnel syndrome, but that doesn’t get in the way of loving some fur babies! I feel that doing rover will still help me continue to live my life and provide for my cats and myself and my partner while looking for something easier on my hands. I can also be an early bird but am mostly a night owl so late night drop ins aren’t a problem at all! I keep both of my cats indoors because they were raised inside before they were adopted and we kept it that way. I keep a litter robot now for them just because of how much they use the bathroom but I didn’t mind scooping it up at all before I bought it !

“Thank you for always being so sweet to Lola and sending pictures”

I am willing to do drop INS after 6pm on certain days and vacation time I care for my animals with lots of love, usually I try to take the time to be with them since working full time you don't always get to.
