Dog Walking in Arroyo Grande

“Mark did a great job of taking care of our three dogs for a seven days - really appreciate it, including getting some extra dogfood when we ran out.”

About: When you have 5 kids in the house, we ended up with a lot of different animals! We had everything, giant fish tanks with specialty fish, bunnies, hamsters, snakes, frogs, birds, lizards, of course dogs and cats, and we even fostered an opossum while we waited for the wildlife refuge to come get him. It teaches you a lot of responsibility at a young age and it gave me a lot of compassion for animals too. Pets are a privilege and we're so lucky to have them. I'm finishing up classes and preparing to transfer to Cal Poly for landscape architecture but I'm done for the summer. Back to serving and time to make some extra money! In my home my cats have a strict feeding schedule and a variety of feeding needs. One only gets wet food and dry food makes her sick, one will eat until he pops and the other free feeds with a microchip activated food bowl to protect from the previously mentioned fatty. I understand the complications that come with having pets, especially multiple pets, and I have all the love and patience in the world to give.

About: Hi, I'm Deanna, 34 years old born and raised in SLO 💚I've been a devoted pet lover my whole life. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals like rabbits and hamsters. I'm comfortable with basic grooming, litter box and habitat cleaning, and administering medications. I'm also a firm believer in providing lots of playtime and cuddles, ensuring your pets feel safe and loved while you're away. I will also send updated photos of your sweet 🐶 angel! I'm currently working a few days a week. So plenty of time for walks and cuddles with your fur baby 🥰 or if high energy breed-we can do runs! Always feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring a safe environment, exercise, and potentially grooming and veterinary care! If needing to be taken to Veterinarian appointmen we can make it happen!

About: From childhood to adulthood, I have always had a dog in my life. I am empathetic toward these kind souls and adore cute cats too! I am a former Coast Guardsman working as a behavioral therapist for children with autism and an aspiring teacher. As a full time online college student, I am more than happy to spend time with your animal. My role as a behavioral therapist only demands I leave the house on Mon, Wed, and Fri from 0900-1130 & 1530-1730. Outside of that and online classes (which have no schedule), I am free for pet care. I am athletic, so if your dog like to run, play, or take long walks, I will be there for it. As a self-proclaimed cuddler, your pet will receive tons of affections. Because of my military experience, I can closely adhere to any specific schedule your animal has.

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals all my life. Grew up Farming and Ranching. No chore is too big for Nurse Lizzy! I do work at Arroyo Grande Hospital 3 nights per week so I would coordinate your animal care with my schedule. But I am flexible. I have one wonderful chi weenie dog who loves all people and pets. He may come on walks with us. We can’t wait to meet!

“Travis is the best! Sends so many photos and keeps us updated on how Zoey’s walks are going. Even went above and beyond and brought some heavy packages inside for us. Very flexible with our erratic work schedule. Very lucky to have him and highly recommend without reservation.”

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, an experienced and trustworthy pet sitter based in Atascadero. For the past three years, I have cared for a household with five small dogs and two cats, providing them with feeding, medication, playtime, and plenty of love. I am confident in handling multiple pets and adapting to their different routines and temperaments. During the day, I work in behavioral therapy, which helps me develop a calm, patient, and detail-oriented approach—skills that are essential for giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I am available most evenings and weekends, and I’m happy to travel between Paso Robles and Nipomo. Whether you need drop-in visits, overnight care, or daily walks, I’m here to help. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I would love to meet your furry family members and become your go-to pet sitter! I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, and I communicate clearly with pet parents throughout the stay. I’m also mindful of safety during walks and visits—no off-leash time unless requested, and I double-check doors, gates, and feeding routines to keep everyone secure.

About: I've taken care of cats since I was a kid and have always loved them very deeply. I've also tended to small and medium sized dogs, but cats are my favorite :) mine's name is Honey and she's almost two years old! I have experience with intricate feeding regimes, deep cleaning litter boxes, playing with cats, and keeping their areas clean and tidy. I'm knowledgeable when it comes to their body language and moods and just want them to have the best time while you're away. I'm a freelance graphic designer currently taking a gap year before pursing an MFA! Meaning my schedule is fully open on weekdays and weekends, featuring plenty of time to care for cats of all kind. I make sure to update my clients routinely or as much as they personally request. Additionally, I greatly respect my client's home and pet areas, doing my role in keeping things neat and orderly.

About: Dogs are sent from God to make human lives complete. I'm lucky to have 1 well-adjusted one. It's a privilege to spend time around dogs; I treat them with respect and also have expectations for them. The result: a happy pack! (When you're making your dog care choice, please know I prefer dogs who are potty / house trained & treated for flea / tick). Dogs are like my children. They're having fun and learning at the same time. Exercise, water, attention and play time is what makes a good dog! They're a priority when they're with me and no decisions are made without considering how it affects my dog / dogs. I understand each dog is unique; they have their own personality and experiences which make them who they are. That being said, there isn't a "cookie cutter" way to treat a dog. Knowing each one, what they fear or love, what it takes to make them happy is what makes for a good outcome. My ultimate goal is for your dog to leap out of your car when he / she arrives at my home or sees me walk through your door.

About: I am passionate about animals and have always loved being around both fluffy feathery and scaly creatures! 🐶I have been taking care of neighbors, families, and friends pets for the past 4 years.

I can’t wait to meet your pets and hopefully become there new best friend! ❤️ Currently I am an Animal Science student at Cal Poly and am super willing and able to accommodate all of you and your animals needs! I would love to spend as much time as possible with your animals! I will follow all instructions left by owners and can crate dogs, cats and other animals if necessary. When walking your animals, I will carefully walk them and ensure that they are safe at all times. Prior to staying I would love to hear all about your animals behavior and normal daily activities that way they are the most comfortable and happy during my time with your pets! 💗

“Sasha is a great dog walker. Always on time and kept in touch with us the entire time we were gone. I would highly recommend Sasha and will definitely use her again for her services.”

“Marcus is the best! Now that I’ve said that don’t steal him away. Always on time and courteous, our dog Daisy loved him. He’s well prepared and wants to know all things about who he’s walking and he takes such great care. Also his leash skills are AWESOME.”

About: I've had multiple dogs throughout my life, most starting from puppies. My wife and I are dog lovers and we have 3 pugs of our own. We have had multiple big dogs at once but when they passed on, we decided to go the smaller route. We have housed multiple dogs at once for the weekend, done dog walking for friends and family and now wish to help out our community. If you need anything, please reach out to see if I can be of assistance. I'm used to walking large breed dogs and can even take them out to the dog beach if wanted. I can walk your dogs, bathe, feed, play, take to the beach, or just lay around with them. I do have 3 pugs that live with us so if you do need us to board, please let me know if they are not friendly and I can keep them away from each other. I have a fenced backyard, but all dogs are welcomed inside our home and allowed on furniture. Our fur babies are family and are treated like royalty and all pups inside our home get the same treatment. I can abide by any special diet restrictions or time for feedings. Our dogs eat twice a day with an occasional treat. Please let me know if treats are not allowed
