Dog Walkers in Carpinteria, CA

About: I was born into a pet-loving home and began helping with pet care as early as age six — feeding, walking, and helping with training our family dogs. Since then, I’ve spent over three decades caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and professionally. My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and built on a lifetime of hands-on experience. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a Montecito-based business owner and endurance athlete, I spend much of my time on the trails and beaches — often with a dog by my side. My lifelong love of animals, combined with my endurance background, makes me especially well-suited for larger or high-energy breeds. I genuinely love bonding with dogs and take pride in being a calm, confident presence — a natural pack leader they can trust. I care for the dogs I walk as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I’m known for giving dogs the exercise they truly crave, whether that’s an energizing trail walk, a beach romp, or a steady neighborhood outing. I stay fully present and engaged, making sure each walk is safe, stimulating, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality.

“I couldn’t be happier with Katherine’s service! I highly recommend her to other dog owners. I have a newly adopted dog who is a rescue and he is very nervous in new surroundings. Katherine came to our house for a meet and greet before hand which allowed my dog to get to know her. Katherine was patient, accommodating, and very knowledgeable of animal behavior and training techniques. She sent me pictures throughout the day so that I had peace of mind that my dog was being well taken care of while I had to work. Thank you Katherine!”

About: My husband and I have both had dogs our entire lives and we now have one pup of our own at home. We have been dog sitting for friends for 6+ years and live an active lifestyle to keep all the dogs entertained and tired out. We dog sit all ages, breeds, and sizes and our dog is very friendly with other dogs. We are happy to provide walks, bathrooms breaks, runs, baths, and snuggles! We are both currently working full-time hybrid with very flexible schedules for walks, runs, and time on the beach. We are available to dog sit during the week or on weekends. Due to our hybrid schedule, at least one of us is home weekends & most weekdays for snuggles, treats, and walks/bathroom breaks. We live in a cozy 2-level condo with our own outdoor space as well as an upstairs balcony for the pups to lounge on. We are a 5-min walk to the beach and bring our own pup there almost daily. Our home is set up for dogs and we can happily crate your fur baby, if needed. We can feed at any designated times and provide lots of cuddles and walks throughout the day.

“Chloe was a true lifesaver today! I had to be out of the house and needed to make sure that my doggies could be walked for their potty breaks. I got in touch with Chloe just this morning and she graciously accepted to take the dogs out on a walk, paying close attention to the instructions I provided. It was wonderful to know that Chloe had me covered and that I did not need to worry about the dogs when I was gone. Chloe checked in With me when she arrived at the house, and also when she left. I am so pleased to have found Chloe and will definitely use her next time I need to be out for a while! Thank you Chloe!”
