Dog Walking Willis Palms

About: I grew up on a farm in England with working dogs, which gave me a love for animals and led me to a life working professionally with them. After 32 years of running my own pet care business in Los Angeles, I relocated to the Coachella Valley where I continue to walk, exercise, and socialize dogs, while also working as a dog trainer. I'm available Monday thru Friday from 7am until 5pm, so we can work out walks and visits depending on your schedule and your dog's needs. Your dog will always be walked on leash, with the exception of fenced dog parks. Dogs can be crated during transport, if that makes them more comfortable. With my many years of experience, I know exactly how to work with dogs with a focus on the safety, calm, and happiness of the animal.

About: I've been a pet owner my entire life. From being raised on a dairy farm, to owning a small hobby farm, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and horses have all been a huge part of my life. Transitioning to a "snowbird," lifestyle, I have more time to spend loving on my own Frenchies and other people's pets as well! I have a lot of experience with dogs that need special attention to diet, allergies, specific schedules etc. Would love to meet you and care for your animals treating them as if they were my own! I'm retired and have a flexible schedule. I'm active with several hobbies but also available most days unless otherwise noted. I exercise a lot so love to walk and play with pets as much as possible. I prefer to care for pets in your own home, keeping it simple for you and your dog to be comfortable in their own environment.

“Faith is absolutely fantastic! Murphy looks forward to his walks and always comes back so happy. He could not be in better hands. Highly recommended!⭐”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats all my life with my own pets and or family members pets as well! On top of that, my Mom also has her own in-home dog care business through Rover, which I do help her with. Most of our smaller pups tend to cling to me, which I adore. Especially if your doggo is a cuddler, your pet and I will have a grand ole time. I currently work part time, with that being said, I will always have time for your littles and bigs, both before and after work! Currently I work Thurs-Sun 9am-5pm, and when any changes arise I always let my pet parents know in advance to make sure both you and your pets stay as happy as possible. When booking with me, it really is always smiles :) I’m able to spend my night and or day with your pets in the safety of your home. Playtime, love and walks would be completely unlimited. I also love to take photos of your pets, to update you throughout your booking, as if you never left!

“Ashley was amazing! We really appreciated her last-minute flexibility when our puppy desperately needed a walk after being inside all day while I was working. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which was such a huge help. Our pup had a blast with her! Ashley was also very accommodating with our request to take her for an indoor walk since our dog is sensitive to the heat. She was communicative, reliable, and made me feel comfortable knowing our puppy was in great hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!”

“Fantastic experience with Mara getting our pupster back into the routine of her daily walk! Rarely have I seen our girl so happy about going for her walk; she literally glows her special smile when walking with Mara! Mara also takes the most interesting, artistic photos of our pupster and shares with us.”

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, geckos, hamsters, fish, ducks, and rabbits. Animals have always been a big part of my home, and I treat every pet like family. Currently, I share my home with three cats and a dachshund, and I understand the importance of patience, routine, and lots of love when it comes to pet care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping your pet comfortable while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m currently working from home so I have the flexibility to provide care to any fur babies. I like to wake up early so I can start my day off right and give pets the needed routine for an active and healthy day. Although it’s not very large, I have a fenced yard, which will allow for fur babies to play or simply soak up some fresh air. I also live minutes from the Station 86 dog park as well as have a grass area in my community, which is gated.

“Joe was a great dog walker and companion for my little Violet. He took the extra time to make sure she was comfortable with him and she fell in love with him. I would highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to provide the individualized care, patience, and attention each pet deserves. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, maintaining their regular routines, or simply providing comfort and affection, I enjoy making pets a priority and treating them like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and routines. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I absolutely love animals, not just my own. But all, & turned it into my job! Being around animals is a complete joy in my life. I’m a 20 year old with a part time job. I take pride into my jobs because not only is it my job, but I enjoy my jobs & they’re apart of my routine. I have a dog of my own. I got him when he was 2 months old and now he is 5 years old. I make sure he has everything he needs; food, water, extra like toys, sweaters when it’s cold, etc. I wake up with him & go to bed with him. I trained him everything he knows. My boy is my LIFE!
