Dog Walking in Yucca Valley

“Shawna always arrived on time and took good care of my spotted babies! I love the rover report card and how it shows exactly where they walked! I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable walker who is also very knowledgeable!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for the last 40 years—my own & others. I’m great with energetic dogs. Have also taken care of cats & birds & donkeys. I’m an author working on my second book, so my time is flexible. I have two dogs of my own but they don’t mind if I hang out with other animals. I have two dogs of my own—one from New York, the other a desert dog—so I understand the unique challenges of taking care of all types of dogs in this environment.

About: I am a certified dog trainer, working towards a special certification in behavior. I have experience caring for and training dogs of all ages and breeds. Caring for animals and training is what i do everyday, whether its for my own pets or helping educate families about theirs. I will try my best to accommodate your pets needs so they feel safe and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard and many ways for your dog to socialize as I have two dogs, cats, and plenty of friendly people and animals they can interact with.

About: I love being with dogs! I have been a dog Mom for 35 years, and I run a nonprofit dog rescue. Through my extensive experience with dogs, I feel I understand the emotions, language and needs of pups. My joy is seeing dogs feel safe and cared for, and watching them thrive! I am good with dogs in all stages of life, especially senior pups. I am home with the dogs! Dog care and being with the dogs is my priority. Your dogs will have loving companionship and attention, to help them feel comfortable, relaxed and nurtured. My home is set up for the comfort of the pups! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds, for better snuggling. I have fenced yards made for the pups’ safety and security, and I own 28 surrounding acres of beautiful, pristine desert land, where pups can run, walk and play. There are no roads, traffic or passing cars. Dogs love the freedom of this exquisite area! I call it a Doggy Disneyland!

About: At Dream Ranch the style of Dog/Cat Boarding is designed to provide your pet with a totally “enriched” boarding experience, which I accomplish by giving pets the things they need most: behavioral choices, exercise, socialization, and the absence of stress. Dogs/Cats prefer real homes and outdoor play yards over kennels or warehouses. By their very nature, they require socialization with other dogs/cats and with people, not solitary confinement. I am experienced and I segregate the dogs/cats according to size and temperament, and monitor each pack so that all dogs/cats are in a stress-free environment. I play, run, fetch, nap, cuddle, bark and talk during the day (including our fantastic water play yard), and they sleep slumber-party-style in our home with a bunch of new friends at night. And they are never locked up or left alone…that’s right, there are no cages here. (Unless you tell me otherwise, &/or your pet's daily routine involves crate/kennel training already) Sometimes life doesn’t allow for pet's. Fortunately for you, Dream Ranch always does! When you need a second home, book a stay for your pet(s) at Dream Ranch!! There’s No Place Like Home… And There’s No Place Like Dream Ranch For Your pet's When You’re Away! 24/7 hours a day, 365 days a year!

About: Hi, I’m Marnie, a compassionate, thoughtful, and reliable caregiver with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. From growing up with dogs and cats, volunteering with foster organizations to raising my own dog from six months old, animals have always been a central part of my life. As a proud dog mom to a senior pup, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pet with the same love and attention you would. I’m experienced in administering medication, handling special needs or senior animals, and providing plenty of care and companionship. Whether it’s a daily walk or a quick check-in, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and affection they need to feel safe and cared for. I’m also very active and love spending time outdoors, so your dog will always have a great time on our walks. As a professional writer and photographer, I’ll provide frequent updates and frame worthy photos of your pet, so you’ll always know they’re in good hands. I’ve provided pet care in both Los Angeles and Connecticut, and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! 🐾 I’m a professional writer who works remotely, so my schedule is very flexible. I can be available to care for your pet on weekends, evenings, and weekends! I can crate your dog or follow any other instructions you have to ensure that they are safe on our walks and in the home.

“Felice ALWAYS does a wonderful job. My dog Kiana loves going on walks with her. Felice is caring and reliable. Highly recommend her. I've used her services many tines.”

About: Ever since I was young I have always loved animals. I was working as a veterinary medical recepnist for a while to which I learned a lot about pet health. I would love to be the sitter you choose in the area :) I can cat/dog/reptile sit any day of the week. I rather go to your house and do pop bys than stay over night but terms can be negotiated. Would consider letting pets come to my place if friendly with other animals I check on animals typically every 3 hours and spend about ~ 30-40 minutes with them every time I stop by. As stated I worked at a 24hr veterinary hospital as reception, even thought I may not be a qualified nurse or doctor I do keep monitor of pets health and will notify owners if I have any concerns

“Juli was very patient with our older dog. He can be difficult to get going, and she had him on his way! Slow but sure!”

Kirsten M.

“Elizabeth was awesome! She visited to walk and feed our 3 dogs and everything went smoothly. Each dog has their own quirks and Elizabeth took her time to make each dog feel comfortable. She left thorough notes in the app and was very communicative leading up to the visits. Would definitely recommend!”

Michele J.

“Heidi was great! Will definitely be using her again!!”

About: I’ve cared for many different kinds of animals including cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and rodents! I adore animals and have always had various of my own. I’ve made amazing relationships with most everyone I’ve pet & home sat for and I love doing it! I am currently taking time off from work for the summer, I am building an online business that I spend a few hours on during the day, and otherwise I am free for most of the day including weekends! I was working in child care previously and I am passionate about careful and adequate, and loving care for both children and animals in every capacity :) I have a cat and I care for a dog at the house I’m currently living at. For my cat he gets his meals at the same time every day, we play together for at least 20-30 minutes each day and he gets groomed once a week or once every 2 weeks! Dogs need a bit more attention in having time outdoors and otherwise feeding and grooming schedules are about the same as I adhere to with cats!

About: I have a farm and a lifelong love for all animals! Currently, I care for my three furry friends and livestock, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My hands-on experience with a variety of animals and a trusted reputation among friends and family set me apart. I specialize in drop-ins, walking, and occasional overnight pet care, providing attentive and personalized care for your pets. Whether it's a quick visit or a refreshing walk, your pets will be in good hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! As of right now, I am free most days during the daytime, unless stated. (Usually from 12:30pm till 3pm) Additionally, I sometimes bring someone from my family to accompany me (approved by you ofc). This provides better engagement for your pets and ensures there’s someone to assist if anything were to happen. At a client’s house, I prioritize creating a comfortable environment for their pets by following their routine and preferences. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, companionship, and playtime, while also respecting the home’s guidelines. Communication is key, so I’ll provide regular updates and stay attentive to their pets' needs!

“Excellent experience working with Sarah. She arrived as we discussed and was very respectful of our home. Lola was very happy when we got back from our event. Sarah is also excellent with communication and we were grateful for the ease of booking her to walk our pet.”

About: I have had dogs for pets since I was a baby. I currently have two 2 and a half year old Labrador retrievers who constantly want attention. I know what it is like to be nervous having a stranger watch my pups while I am traveling for work. I would like to be a safe place to watch your pup. I have a flexible schedule right now so I can meet most accommodation depending on the requests or needs. I am looking to make Rover a priority job. I am a very clean, honest, organized, and trustworthy person. I would want someone to treat my pets with respect and care and I intend to do the same.
