Dog Walking Arroyo Grande

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: *MEET & GREET IS REQUIRED FOR FIRST TIME BOOKERS WITH Me* I have been working in the field as a vet assistant for almost 4 years now. I have immensely enjoyed caring for animals, and would love to continue that even outside of work. Both cats and dogs are welcomed; I do have 2 cats of my own. I grew up surrounded by cats, so I would say I have that feline touch. I understand that cats have vastly different personalities and may not want to be touched or played with. But if your cat happens to love playing and being petted, then I will happily meet those needs. I believe that open communication and transparency is important, so you’ll receive regular updates on your pets well-being while you’re away. I am skilled at administering oral medications and even subcutaneous injections, if needed. As well as caring for special needs and or elderly pets. I am trained in understanding body language and how to recognize signs of illness in pets. I am mostly available for walks, drop-ins, and house sittings. I have a part time job, and I am a student, so I will update my calendar regularly to reflect my availability to properly care for your pet. The safety of your pet is important to me and is a task I take very seriously. Your pet is in safe hands with me.

About: We would go on long walks in the neighborhood, to the park, and go to the beach about an hour and a half, and he/she will be by my side whenever we are outside enjoying a sunny or rainy day. Your pet will be love and will get tons of attention. I have been an animal lover since I was born. Always been around dogs and cats my entire life; and I will also give them lots of love and attention. I have always treat my dogs and cats as if they were my children. I'll be sure your pets will be loved and have a smile on their faces when you arrive home, either from a long day at work or a long or a mini vacation.

About: Can’t wait to hang out with your pet. I’ll always make sure they have fun with me. I’d love dogs but I think it’s a big step and prefer to be a sitter for now It fits in because I have a lot of free time and I’d love to spend time with animals ! Also I really love that I can get out and exercise and I am adding that to my daily routine Making sure my home or clean and free of any harm to animals or any one really. I live near the beach. So it’s perfect for a walk and there is a dog park nearby

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.

“Lars is great! He’s reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend.”

About: I've had pets my whole life and their care has always come naturally to me. I've brought dogs in from puppyhood and trained them in everything from housebreaking to tricks for fun. I find structure and love go hand in hand when it comes to raising well-behaved, happy pets. From an energetic dog to a geriatric dog that needs gentle care, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I am also very dependable and consistent — your pet's routine will always be respected with me. I'm a part-time employee and student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule to give your pets plenty of love and attention. I can generally accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and even some weekends based on your needs and my work schedule. I’ll work with your schedule to make sure your pets are happy, safe, and never feel alone. Your safety and comfort are your pet's priority. I live in a quiet, pet-free residence with a securely fenced yard where pets may roam freely. I also live with a kind old Catahoula who also tolerates other pets. Either whether you board your dog in my residence or in your residence, I have a clean and peaceful environment as well as adhering to your pet's schedule strictly to keep them feeling like home and loved. You can rely on me to treat them like family.

“Met up with Hannah for a meet and greet with my dog and she was great. My husky is a tough guy to walk sometimes if you lack confidence but she took him on and had full control. I’m excited to continue to work with Hannah and for her and my dog to build a relationship. Can’t wait for the next walk!”

About: I am a licensed Vet Tech who recently moved to the area. I have 10 years of experience working with a variety of animals in a clinical setting. Also, I have always had pets growing up as well. I can help you with anything from exercising your animal, boarding or even administering medications. I am new to the area and I currently have open availability. I have a dog of my own, but I am able to manage caring for your pet as well as my own. I have a fenced yard and a dog who loves to play. I can stay at your house or even have your pet stay over if needed. I currently live with my parents who are able to care for my dog if your pet needs more alone time. I can accommodate to whatever your pet needs.

“Angelia took great care of Charlie. Took her on a different stroll than her usual walk. She was happy when I arrived home, and everything was in great shape. Would not hesitate to ask her to walk Charlie in the future!”

“Alexsandra did a wonderful job with Nico! She has a very calm energy, which is a great match for our (super stoked) Boxer. He seemed to enjoy his walk and came back tired, which is always a good thing.”

“Wonderful always!”

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.

“Holly was so sweet and very communicative. I will definitely book her again!”

“Mariah was great with my dog! She was very attentive to him, sent photos while out walking him, and made me feel really comfortable knowing he was well taken care of!”

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 have a lot of experience with cats and even stray kittens. I’ve also taken care of big sassy energetic dogs who I have all cared for. 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 love all types of animals. I have experience in rabbits, cats & dogs. My family has always had animals, it’s a second nature to me. I am currently unemployed but looking for part time work. I would love to pick up pet sitting opportunities as much as possible. I have a free and open schedule. I do not offer pet services in my home but at the clients home I am more than willing to crate animals or let them out into a fenced in yard to watch them. I am good with rewarding with treats, having play time, picking up poop, cleaning, etc. I am fully capable of the responsibility it takes to care and build trust with animals.

“Becky was great with my pup Hendrix on a last minute walk request! He got lots of exercise and loved making a new friend. Will definitely use Becky again!”

About: Pets have always been a significant part of my life, and I've been fortunate to care for many animals over the years. Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after pets for others, mostly locally, through Trusted House Sitters. It’s been a rewarding experience, and I’m eager to expand my pet-sitting services by offering them through Rover as well. I currently am attending USF Law for my second year and am petting sitting while in school. I'm excited to offer my pet-sitting services and provide quality care for your furry friends! I make it a priority to give pets plenty of attention and love while their owners are away. I ensure they get the exercise they need with regular walks and plenty of playtime to keep them happy and engaged.
