Dog Walkers in Verde, CA

“I'm a type A worry wart when it comes to my furry family members. I am so very thankful that Kayla was able to help us navigate a last minute request to look in on my dog and cat. Kayla was super sweet with both our dog and cat (our dog was super sad to have them only for visits!) and we are so thankful for their help!”

About: Hi there! I’m Miki, based in Arroyo Grande, CA. I’m back on Rover after taking a break for a while. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 10 years of pet sitting experience — both personally and on Rover. I previously maintained a 5.0 ★★★★★ rating, but during a break from the platform, the score temporarily shifted to 4.9. Rest assured, my commitment to caring for pets with love, patience, and professionalism hasn’t changed one bit. I’m back and eager to welcome more furry friends into our home! At home, we have: • Lucy, our sweet senior Shih Tzu who loves her naps and quiet time • Anko, a playful 1-year-old Lab mix who’s board-and-train certified and loves making new doggie friends 🐶✨ Whether your pup prefers cozy relaxation or a fun playmate, our home offers the perfect balance. We take long walks, visit local dog parks (like Laguna Lake), and treat every dog like a member of the family. ✅ Dog-loving household ✅ I work from home 100% ✅ Experienced with both seniors and high-energy pups ✅ Safe, warm, and communication-friendly environment Looking forward to meeting your pup and providing the “feels like home” care my returning clients know and love! 🐾✨ I stay at home pretty much all day every day as I work from home. Especially when your doggy stays with us, I don’t leave the house unless it’s really necessary or go to park with doggies. Our front yard door stays open all day so doggies can go in and out whenever they want. I have a fenced yard, so they can play outside anytime they want. I work nights so doggies constantly feel safe and comfortable even at nights. (They usually like to sleep right behind my computer desk at night)

I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away With my part time work schedule it works out perfectly!

“Riley made my first experience with rover.com a great one. She was able to fit me in on short notice. She quickly covered excellent pertinent questions then set off to explore my hilly neighborhood. She gave me a useful report on her return (I’m a new dog parent just adopted) and clearly worked hard at giving my dog some good exercise. Thanks Riley!”

“Caitlin goes above and beyond the call of duty and it shows! My doggo is super attached to me so wasn’t so excited to go on a walk with her on their first day. Because she took the time to build his trust and spends extra time with him to build an alliance, I have nothing but great things to say about her!”

Laura P.

“Zara was great with our dog, Millie! She took her on extra long walks and took her to the park where she could roll around in the grass. I would recommend her :)”

About: I have grown up with family dogs my entire life, and absolutely love running around with them on the beach or anywhere else. I also have taken care of my neighbors and friends pups, whether that be an over night stay or going on a stroll. I have had a pet cat in the past and currently take care of the neighbor cats on occasion. I work part time and have plenty of free time on my hands. I usually work no longer than 6 hours, and have very open evenings. I have ample time to take your four legged friend on a walk/hike/run! Or to drop in for a visit. I am extremely responsible and will always make sure to feed and let your pet out for a potty break on time as well as playing and making sure they are happy and content.

About: Can’t wait to hang out with your pet. I’ll always make sure they have fun with me. I’d love dogs but I think it’s a big step and prefer to be a sitter for now It fits in because I have a lot of free time and I’d love to spend time with animals ! Also I really love that I can get out and exercise and I am adding that to my daily routine Making sure my home or clean and free of any harm to animals or any one really. I live near the beach. So it’s perfect for a walk and there is a dog park nearby
