Dog Walkers in Avila Beach, CA

“Great job! My dog loves her.”

“Reliable and nice.”

“Zara was amazing. She sent me photos of Molly. Great communication. Would definitely not hesitate to have Zara care for my girl anytime. Thank you Zara!!”

“Thank you for taking good care of my boy and walking him. Craig went above and beyond to make sure my boy was well exercised and enjoyed his time. I get a little nervous because my dog is big and can have some leash reactivity, but I knew he was in good hands with Craig and I got updates and photos to show that he was behaving and enjoying his time. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I also worked at a doggy day care so I know how to handle many different types of situations with high energy and/or aggressive breeds. I’m currently in college and doing online classes so trying to make extra money while being able to do something I love and be able to create my own schedule. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a very respectful golden retriever who grew up around an elderly dog. He loves to play and I am able to walk multiple dogs at once and my home has lots of space to play and stretch their legs.

“I had a great experience working with Darian. He walked my pooch for a full week while I was busy in meetings and couldn't walk him myself like we normally do. My buddy boy was happy and tired after a good strenuous walk (which he needs and loves!) and Darian even set his food dish down for me after the walk so he could have his breakfast. Thank you Darian, looking forward to the next time!”

“Victoria was able to walk my dog on very short notice and saved me from having to leave work early to let my dog use the bathroom. She is very friendly and provided great photos and updates. I highly recommend!”

“Joanne is wonderful and I feel so fortunate that she's been able to take care of my dog and keep an eye on our home. My dog adores her! Joanne leaves our house in perfect condition and shares regular updates. When Joanne spotted a flea on our dog, she let me know right away and gave my dog a bath! I thoroughly trust and reccommend her!”

“I’m so grateful to have met Tori. She’s trustworthy, shows good judgment and has great communication. Everything you hope for when searching on Rover… She walks my dog during a few weekdays, which is extremely helpful during the work week for both me and my pup. Thanks Tori!”

“Hannah is a great pet sitter! She watched my dog Pluto and took such great care of him. She even taught him how to sit and treated him like her own. I was never worried about Pluto when she watched him.”

“Eva is an amazing animal caretaker! She loves animals of all kinds, and is extremely responsible and thorough as a sitter. She will care for your pet as she would her own, and can be trusted to follow any and all instructions. Any pet in her care is in wonderful hands.”

“I have known Alexandra for over 15 years now. She is reliable, very attentive, and caring. Alex had 2 dogs and a cat and she took very good care of them, always making sure they are comfortable, happy and content. She takes her responsibilities very seriously, and what I also like is that she is well versed in Jin Shin Jyutsu for animals. I would trust her with my pets anytime.”

“I have known Arnold for close to 25 plus years, we met while volunteering at Animal Services and in rescue. He has a sense of such empathy, compassion and insight with animals (His love for dogs and cats is truly cannot be measured). His heart is so big and he is so protective and enduring with the animals in his care. Arnold is also very, very responsible, very punctual and very conscientious about schedules and time. He follows instructions, clarify if there is any question and also will ensure all areas of his responsibility to care for an animal is covered. I personally would trust him with any of my animals, since I know he would treat them like I personally would treat them. You could not find better for your dog or cat.”

“Colton’s personality and patience was a perfect match for our dogs! He is professional, timely and cares deeply for his (dog) clients. We love our dogs like family and trust Colton to care for them when they need to get their “walks” in. We are thankful for Colton’s help!”

“Mark was great! He was able to meet for my last minute need. I had a meeting to go to but had my dog with me so he met at my meeting location and walked my dog for an hour while I attended my meeting. Huge help for the day!”

“I am the owner of a three-and-a-half-year-old goldendoodle (mostly golden retriever), who is one of the most social, energetic, and friendly dogs one might ever meet. However, I owe his entire outlook and energy to Ethan Alexander, and his inexplicable touch with dogs, and a special affinity for dog care. As a rescue, Bosco was always really anxious. We are unsure of his previous circumstances, but there are many pointers to his previous home being abusive, unclean, and uncertain for the puppy that he was. Entering a point in my life where I wouldn't be around all the time to care for Bosco and work on warming him up to other dogs/people outside the household, I turned to Ethan. In the weeks that I happened to be gone from the home, Ethan came to feed, spend time with, and walk Bosco, and work on his contact with other animals. From the moment they met, Bosco lit up with an energy I had not seen since bringing him home. Ethan's perseverance with exposing Bosco to smaller pets that he owned, and eventually his own dog, quickly warmed him up to be the loving dog he is today. Every night that I came home, Bosco wanted to be let outside to play AGAIN, where he never had before. He began to eat more, became less solitary, and due to his newfound comfort with the outdoors, allowed for the proper grooming and veterinary care that the typical dog would benefit from. In the best health of his life, Ethan enjoys visits from Ethan occasionally along with the new time that I am able to spend with him, taking him around the neighborhood that he once feared to play with dogs he once despised. Because of Ethan's own experience gently nurturing and raising a dog from undesirable circumstances, he is the best addition to ensure a more social, happy, and healthy life for pets in need.”

“Matthew has taken care of my young dog on multiple occasions for hours or nights at a time, and does a great job with him. My dog was a rescue from a high-kill shelter in Korea, and therefore has a lot of anxiety dealing with new people. Matthew made him comfortable with him and is one of my pup's favorite people to be around.”

“Olivia was nothing short of amazing for our two dogs during our long vacation. She shared pictures regularly and we could tell how loving she was to them, and how much they adored her too. It was great to relax on vacation knowing our sweet girls were in the best of hands, and I would not even think twice about having Olivia watch our girls again. Highly, HIGHLY recommend without reservation!”

“Jada is awesome! She has taken care of my senior dog Jack for years. I work long hours so she comes by to walk and spend time with my pup. She always sends me updates and communicates with me. Also when I go out of town Jada stays with my dog at my home. I feel so at ease when Jada takes care of Jack. She gets back to me right away with any requests or questions I have. She is positive, reliable and loves animals! I would recommend her to any pet owner.”
