Dog Walking Arroyo Grande

About: I grew up with animals and have always had a special connection with them. I have worked with animals of all walks of life in an animal shelter & truly enjoy getting to witness their success. When working at the animal shelter I used to take dogs on walks and to the play pens where they would socialize with potential new families and other dogs. While they were in the play pens it was my job to ensure things ran smoothly and to deescalate any situations that might arise. Being able to celebrate in an animals victories and see how much they have grown & learned over time is like nothing else! I am wholly committed to anything your pet may need during our time together, no interruptions unless there is an emergency. If you have any questions about availability outside of my specified time frames please feel free to reach out and I will see what I can do! I would never do something to put your animals in harms way, I am incredibly thorough and will follow any specified instructions. If I have any questions about your pets needs I will be sure to seek clarification before taking any actions.

About: I’ve always loved animals, and I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my life (wishing I could have all the animals!). When I was younger, I would cuddle up with my pets and even read to them. Back in high school, I worked at a local grooming salon, where I bathed dogs and cats. Since then, caring for animals has continued to be something I truly enjoy. I’ve been pet sitting for the past 7 years and have loved getting to know not only the pets, but their owners as well. I’ve also trained my own cat to do all kinds of fun tricks! I deeply understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets and giving them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Starting October 6th 2026 my availability is pretty open. Please take a look at my availability because some days may change or send me a message. My cat has feline herpes and daily I give him oral medication to help calm his outbreak. It's not curable but I try to manage it. I have taken care of pets who need medication 1-3 times a day. I do my best to make pets feel comfortable as much as possible.

About: I’ve had dogs and cat for the last 7-8 years. They have been so good to us and we’ve enjoyed them more than I imagined. I have a business that I’ve owned for seven years and I’m able to make my own schedule. Also, my homeschooled kids are home and willing to help if I ever need it. I have done 20+ years of babysitting and childcare in my home and other peoples homes. Plus, I’ve had clients that I have worked for and have trusted me with their keys to their home for seven years.

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: Hi, my name is Matt, I’ve cared for pets for over 20 years and I would love to take care of your dog! I’m home all day, enjoy spoiling my doggie guests with affection, and have a large home and yard for lots of play😁 I have a friendly cavadoodle of my own, so ideally we like to host pups that get along with others! I work from home full time with a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate any scheduling needs. I enjoy getting exercise with my dog guests in the morning by playing in the yard, taking a walk around the neighborhood, or taking a beach walk if allowed. Rest of the day is more play with me and my dog or if your pup prefers to lounge and relax after a ruff day, I can set them up to hangout with me separately while my dog relaxes in my spare room if needed. I have a very large, clean, safe and secure home and yard for dogs. I have ample space indoors, doggy beds available, and am happy to accommodate dogs health needs as requested. I also live 5 minutes away from a 24 hour vet hospital and have experience in identifying potential medical issues with dogs🏥 I work from home with a flexible schedule and and can hang out, play, go on walks, hit the park, or do anything else that your pup needs on the spot! When a dog arrives, I like to show them lots of affection and give them some sort of treat to help build some trust and companionship. I then like to give them a tour of the home like I would a human lol... Most dogs love sniffing around my large fenced yard and I always make sure to accompany them so that they can get used to me keeping an eye on them. From there, I usually like to be in the same room as my dogs at all times unless they are taking a nap on the couch and or want their alone time :)

About: I’ve had several different kinds of pets growing up and currently have my own dog and cat. I know that each animal needs its own special kind of love and I am dedicated to understanding and proving your pet with exactly what they need while I care for them. I am currently staying with family so I have an open schedule! Book me for all your pet needs and I can provide quality care :) I have a fenced in yard with three other dogs in the home to keep your pet company. These dogs are very friends and well adapted to meeting others. I can provide walks and timely feeding while caring for your pet.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started dog sitting when I was 6 years old. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with a wide variety of pets and am comfortable caring for both common and more unusual animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, snakes, reptiles, horses, and other small animals. I’m comfortable following individual feeding schedules, exercise routines, cleaning routines, medication instructions, and other special care needs. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple types of animals in the same household. My goal is always to provide dependable, attentive care and make sure your pets receive the same love and attention they would get at home. I am currently not working at the moment, so I have my full days to give your pets the attention they need. Whether that be all day/night or just visits a few times a day. When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, while also respecting pets who prefer their own space.

I'm honest, compassionate, responsible, and reliable. I love the outdoors, so I enjoy taking your pets on walks. I promise to give your pet lots of care and attentiveness. In my care, pets often receive more visitation time than the standard half hour (if my schedule allows) simply because I love their company. You will never be charged for this "overtime" and if you prefer me to stick to half an hour, I will be happy to comply. Walks: On a walk with me, Rover dogs enjoy sunny strolls or jogs through the surrounding neighborhood, parks, and local beaches. Additionally, I always bring toys and treats on our adventures to ensure maximum fun. Drop Ins: During "drop ins" we will take care of business first (potty/food/medication/etc) unless otherwise requested. Then, we usually play inside (as allowed) or outside (as allowed) and we will absolutely snuggle. Sometimes we'll play fetch or learn commands. "House sits" combine the benefits of "walks" and "drop ins," with the addition of and any/all of the following options: -Overnight visitation (from dusk to dawn) -Live in (full overnight and some daytime occupancy - to be agreed upon before visit) -Constant occupancy (full 24 hour supervision for house and pets) During "house sits" we may go to the park or go for an extra walk if it's a nice day.

About: Hi! I’m a graduate student in Animal Behavior & Welfare working on my thesis in wildlife detection dogs from home. I’ve worked with dogs & cats for 10 years and have trained dogs for 8, including service dogs through a professional nonprofit organization. I have raised countless puppies in this time, so I can certainly help properly socialize your puppy so they can grow up to be the best version of themself. I also compete in dog sports for fun with my dogs, two working line German shepherds and one husky mix. So I’m well equipped to care for dogs that are… “a lot!” I’m on my way to becoming an Applied Animal Behaviorist and have finished all my coursework in behavior with a 4.0 GPA, so when your pets come with me, they’ll benefit from my extensive knowledge on understanding behavior and maximizing welfare. My prices might be a little higher than others, but I promise it will be worth it for the level of care & expertise I provide! I’m home full time as I finish my thesis remotely. The animals I care for come first, whether it be early morning potty breaks or afternoon activities. My schedule is flexible and I have ample time to give your pets the attention they need, while also giving them quiet time to rest in a private space. When pets stay with me, they have their own spare bedroom to sleep in. They can have a crate in there, or stay loose in the room and sleep on the bed. We have a small yard, so I opt to take dogs out 4 times a day to potty in a small park right outside my front door. We can play here too! A lot of dogs like to sunbathe in our yard, including my own. I have three dogs who all have different preferences in their dog friends, so it’s likely your dog will find a best friend here. Or, if your dog prefers not to be around other dogs, that’s no problem either. They can hang out with just me! I always use long lines and either harnesses or safely fitted collars to walk dogs, so they can have maximum freedom to express themselves while also staying safe and comfortable.

About: Your dog is as much an individual as you are and we are here to help your puppies to have exactly the experience that they need. I am a life long dog lover and have had many dogs over the years (work travel prevents me from ownership right now). Over the years my household (me, adult son, grand daughter (6)) have adopted or fostered a wide variety of dogs from a puppy to be trained and moved on to forever home to senior dogs who ultimately ended up with their forever home right here. I am excellent at giving medication (was a LPN for humans), long walks that I enjoy as much as the dog, and am open to any dog related service your dog may need. I will always treat your dog like the wonderful individual they are. I am open to any size dog and ANY breed (I have great relationships with pit bulls, Chihuahua's, and other high difficulty breads) All dogs must have flee control and be up on vaccinations (and licensed). I was reading the Rover information for customers and it said you should ask about how much cuddle time, playtime, and walks cost. Your pet will get all the cuddles, walks, and playtime they can stand for free. I do this because everybody in my house loves dogs and want to make new furry friends. If you have non-dog pets (chickens, goats, horses, donkeys, reptiles, and the like contact me through the house sitting version and we can work out the details and price. Feel free to contact me with any questions I am a work from home writer, artist, photographer, and journalist, so I have lots of open time. I do travel for work in the summer months which does leave some days completely unavailable, but otherwise ready to walk from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. There is no other way to say it, I love dogs and will treat your dog with more respect than most humans receive. The walks will be well planned and any care will be exactly what you requested.

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. I have 3 elderly cats that I have had since 1st grade. I have cared for my family’s dogs and cats.

I am currently a student with a very flexible schedule and with time to spare. I love spending time with animals and providing them with a safe and comfortable experience. I listen attentively to owners instructions on how to care for their pet as no pet and environment is the same. I will follow up with questions if anything comes up or is not clear.

About: I have loved animals my whole life. I have always had a dog growing up and I got the chance to have a cat for a year, and have had 2 reptiles.

I would absolutely love the chance to take care of your pets! I am always on top of safety. Going for walks I will always have a leash, poo bags, and treats!
