Dog Walking Vineyard

About: Experienced pet sitter providing attentive, personalized care since 2015. I’m skilled at working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I take pride in following detailed care instructions to a T and matching each fur baby's unique energy whether they need a high intensity run or a cozy cuddle session. Hey howdy hey! I offer flexible availability for weekend care and long term extended stays. Because every pet has unique needs, I build my daily routine entirely around the owner's established schedule keeping walk times, feeding schedules, medication routines, and playtime completely consistent with what your pet is used to at home. I treat every pet like family while fully respecting their home environment and established rules! I strictly follow your guidelines regarding routines, allowed areas, and feeding habits. I maintain a clean, safe space, provide regular updates and photos, and reach out whenever I have a question to ensure your pet stays happy and safe.

“She is fantastic. She is on time everyday. Asks great questions and I believe she cares about my dogs. She tells me daily how they did. I’m so glad we hired her. Thank you”

About: It has been said to me that my first words as a child were ... barking! While I don't remember that, I do remember always having a connection with all furry companions. I grew up with dogs and cats and on occasion would visit my great grandparents' ranch, with horses, goats and more. I loved giving the animals snacks. More recently, I moved onto a small farm. I helped take care of over a dozen chickens and 2 turkeys; feeding, watering, cleaning the coop. My formal career experience has been in education. In addition to many childcare and classroom support jobs, I also taught public school for 5 years. In either environment, my natural tendency is using my natural empathy to provide personalized care. I am not only a sitter on Rover, but have used the service myself to board my cat before. I know what it's like to leave your baby in someone else's hands! Please communicate specifically to me so that we can rest assured all needs are met for your beloved pet(s). I will treat your furry family member like I would want mine to be treated - patiently, attentively, carefully and lovingly - and only ask that you communicate any expectations or other information clearly and thoroughly. I may ask a lot of questions to clarify, and welcome any of yours! (Además soy bilingüe ❤️) I currently update my schedule on a week-by-week basis. I work part-time as an in-home Instructor for developmentally disabled adults. This is only during weekdays. My availability will vary due to the unique schedule of that job. For example, if a client has a cold, that would be a cancellation on short notice, which would allow me to be available with Rover. So far I've had sufficient flexibility to pet sit and especially housesit in the area. I will reply to your request ASAP and we can go from there. Thank you! For this reason, I prefer to fill my schedule on a day-to-day basis, or at least weekly. I'm happy to answer any questions about specifics, so there is no confusion. Naturally, I'll provide the same consideration I'd expect from someone taking care of my home or pet. Most owners have written instructions down and that has been helpful. I tend to note things down myself, even if they're very simple, just to assure that they are not forgotten. I'll be detail oriented, focused, careful and respectful.

About: As I studied animal science for the majority of my high school and college career, I have learned the necessities of various animals and worked with them from a very young age. This has given me a great deal of patience and experience, as I have taken care of dogs with speical needs, and even more exotic animals like guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, and farm animals. I have prior experience volunteering at Bradshaw Animal Shelter, as well as Priceless Pets Vet Clinic in Southern California. My own golden retriever unfortunately passed away, and he had a condition called Megaesophagus, which is a condition that required him to sit up in a bailey chair to eat and take medication three times daily— he taught me a lot about caring for special needs dogs. I now have two rabbits and a bearded dragon, but I love dogsitting because I miss having my own dog as well. I love to meet various personalities and get to know everyone’s fur babies. I am a realtor and personal trainer, so my schedule is completely self-determined. I train clients early mornings, and any realtor duties I have are scheduled independently so I can work with tons of needs for dogs. I would love to come feed your dog and take them for bathroom breaks, as well as playing and walking with them! I understand how hard it can be for some dogs to be alone while you are out, so I will spend great time with them. I am a very active individual so I can walk as long as needed, and I am open to other activities as well! I provide consistent updates so you can feel comfortable that your dog is taken care of.

“Melissa is a great communicator and very attentive to Jengo’s needs and wants. She went the extra mile on several occasions to show him some love.”

About: Being a dog mom myself has taught me how different every pup can be.

“We needed a dog walker on very short notice and Julie came to the rescue! We were able to connect over the phone on the way out of town and then connected her with my Mom, who was staying with the dogs at our house. Loved that she was comfortable to make a plan over the phone at the last minute- as there was not time for anything else. My Mom said the dogs loved her the moment she entered the house and that she was very friendly and on time. I will definitely be using Julie again- nice to have someone you can trust when life gets in the way!”

About: Aside from having cared for my toy poodle for 12 years until he passed, I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family either during the day or entire vacation. Followed owners’ instructions and gave needed updates on pets’ wellbeing. I’m currently a full time student at community college Monday through Thursday, so while I am capable of being home in between classes, your pets will be able to have my full attention and care Friday through Sunday nights. I have a two story house with a fenced yard for your pets to play. I will abide by whatever instructions required to care for your babies, crate and frequently give potty breaks and walks. Aside from that, I would love to allow them to wander around and lay on the couch.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for my own pets. I have a 6-year-old dog who has been part of my family since she was a puppy. She has had several litters over the years, and I helped care for both her and her puppies until they found loving homes with my friends and neighbors. I also had a guinea pig for about five to six years, so I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. Taking care of animals has taught me to be patient, responsible, and attentive. I know how important it is to follow a pet’s routine, whether it’s feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply giving them attention and comfort while their family is away. I’m happy to send photo updates and communicate with you so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I will treat every pet with the same love and care that I give my own, and my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently working in part time.

About: Toda mi vida he tenido animales, soy una chica colombiana de 43 años que le encanta pasar tiempo con los animales, me encantan y los niños también, yo me considero la mejor niñera de animales. Actualmente tengo mucho tiempo libre trabajo desde mi casa y con los trabajos que me salen cuidando anímales, actualmente tengo un hermoso gato que lo adoro. Vivo en una casa donde tengo un gato más adelante me encantaría tener más anímales perros gatos hasta he pensado en crear una fundación de anímales, definitivamente eso lo que quiero hacer en mi vida

About: A dog’s trust is earned, and I’ve had many experiences with dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. I volunteer at an animal shelter, which has allowed me to pick up on behaviors and quirks, and improved my ability to adapt to anything unpredictable. Safety and comfortability is my utmost priority, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try my hardest to make sure your dog is having fun! I am a uni student, so my free time may vary depending on the day. However I am pretty flexible with time when I’m not commuting or in class, as school is my biggest obligation at the moment. I am easy to reach so I can also send more updates when there’s changes in my schedule. I value safety and comfortability as I believe pets should be regarded on the same level as children. Pets are a lifelong commitment and responsibility, without safety, they can’t feel comfortable. I truly believe animals are the happiest when they feel safe. I currently have a cat who stays indoors but is given the opportunity to go outdoors when the weather is nice (under supervision). She has plenty of toys to keep her mind stimulated, places to hide if she feels overwhelmed, and comfy areas for her to snooze in.

About: I have taken care of animals for almost 7 years! I am constantly around animals, and I love learning the needs and wants for each dog and/or cat. Every animal has their own little personality that makes them the best, and I want to learn what your animals need in order for them to thrive in my care. I am comfortable around all dog/cat breeds, and have experience taking care of a range of breeds. When I come to walk, spend time with, and take care of your animals, they are my first priority, and I will do everything in my power to make sure they feel loved and cared for. I understand that every dog or cat needs different things, and I am more than willing to adapt to meet you and your pet where you need me! I have a dog and cat of my own- a rescue Labradoodle named Beau, and a short-haired tabby named Kona! They mean the world to me, and I will treat your animal with the love and respect that I treat my own animal babies with! Skills: I have ample experience in treating dogs who require medication, as well as senior dogs who need some extra care and attention to ensure comfortability and happiness. I am happy to lightly groom your pet if needed. For any medical accomodations, just give me a heads up so that I can best take care of your doggie! I have had almost a lifetime of taking care of cats, and am not a stranger to the many different and cooky personalities they can have. I have experience with a range of kitties who vary from requiring a little more space to get comfortable, as well cats who are super extroverted and friendly from the get-go. I have experience in brushing and maintaining both short-haired and long-haired cats, nail clipping, litter box maintenance, teeth brushing, ear cleaning, giving oral medication, etc. I am currently working part-time, but I have a lot of flexibility and work mostly mornings and early afternoons. I am also a college student with a very accommodating schedule! I have a lot of free time during the days and evenings, so I am virtually always able to come check-in and spend time with your fur baby! I have 5+ years of experience in housesitting, so navigating new environments in nothing new to me. Whatever your dog/cat needs, I am willing and able. Cleaning up after animal accidents/tidying up after playtime are things that I love to do to ensure that you and your animal feel comfortable in your home!
