“Neyda was wonderful with my dog Oreo. He took to her right away, and I will continue to use her for walks and to take care of him. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“Noah was great with Gracie. She's a very high energy dog and she came back from her walks exhausted and ready to nap. I needed someone who was flexible with times and Noah was prompt in responding and being flexible.”
“Katherine picked up my little dog and took her for a walk. She has been extremely accommodating and even brought my puppy a treat because it was her first birthday. She’s very caring and truly loves dogs. I highly recommend Katherine.”

About: I've had dogs and many other pets my entire life- a boxer, pugs, Akita, Cairn, and a terrier mix with health issues, requiring extra care. I'm recently retired, so pet sitting will be my full time priority. I will devote all my care and attention to your pets, plants and garden. As an avid walker and hiker, I especially enjoy caring for dogs who love outdoor time and exercise. I also love exploring new communities and being in nature, so pet sitting is a great fit-it allows me to care for animals while experiencing new places in a meaningful way. I no longer have pets of my own and truly miss the companionship they bring, which makes caring for animals especially rewarding to me. Spending time with pets feels grounding and joyful, and I genuinely value creating a calm, reassuring presence for them while their people are away

“Cheryl did a great job of caring for and exercising our 4 year old lab from our Montecito Airbnb. Carley instantly liked her and was nice and tired when we returned. Cheryl was an excellent communicator and working with her was a breeze. Carley seemed quite pleased as well. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog walker based in Santa Barbara and Montecito. I truly enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, especially small and medium-sized pups. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I always make sure walks are calm, safe, and enjoyable, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel at ease. I’m responsible, punctual, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available mornings and afternoons most days, and I enjoy staying active, so dog walking fits naturally into my day. I always make sure pets get safe, focused, and caring attention. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times and stay in safe, pet-friendly areas. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I avoid any unsafe situations or distractions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care directions.

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of animals, from reptiles to large mammals since my childhood. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while on trips or even just out for the day. I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have also received some formal education in veterinary care as well as worked multiple jobs as a veterinary assistant. I’m currently working a full-time job so weekends and/or when owners are on vacation are my best times, as well as after work if owners are caught up on the job and need assistance with walking or feeding. I will happily watch your pets in your own home, even overnight on weekends. I take extra care to provide the best service I possibly can, catering each visit to each owner’s preference. I have experience in medication administration as well as animal handling to create a fear free environment for your pet and keep your mind at ease.
About: Hi, my name is Basilia, I also go by Juno. I have grown up around dogs all my life.

I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, nervous or anxious dogs, and dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance to feel comfortable. Building trust with animals is one of my favorite parts of pet care, and I love helping shy pets come out of their shell and gain confidence over time. I’m also trained in dog CPR ,as well as how to respond if one has a seizure, and I stay calm in stressful situations while always prioritizing safety. Whether your furbaby loves adventures and playtime or prefers calm companionship and cuddles, I’ll care for them like they’re my own.

I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with afternoon to evening availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I love staying active, spending time with animals, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority.

About: I've taken care of family and friend family pets growing up. My mom set up daycare for children and families would bring their pets often. (Watching my mommies growing up was my first experience and I now enjoying caring for others on my own leisure time) On my personal time, I've taken care of colleagues and friends family pets. My chihuahua will come with me on home visits otherwise I will require 1 hour break to go home to feed/walk my furbaby. I live by Bacara, I have the backyard that leads to Ellwood preserve. I do not use dog food to feed due to the high sodium, I cook meals using protein, veggies and Japanese potato. I'm happy to walk/care for family pets starting at 6am and latest walk at 6pm unless you are requesting overnight. Bed time is by 9pm or earlier. I have trim pets hair and given baths, this is complimentary for overnight stays even for 1 day. I have the materials and only cut hair by hand. I will keep majority of the hair 🙂 so you will not return surprised, your furbaby will look rejuvenated and polished 💖 I treat all furbaby as my own and cook extra portion for yours. I will walk the dogs together, 3 max at a time including my chihuahua. My chihuahua is allowed everywhere in my home so your furbaby is allowed to go anywhere except for kitchen when I'm cooking. Walks happen every 4 hours unless we are sleeping. I do not crate any furbaby so will not take you if this is something you request, I believe family pets should be included so will be in couch or bed. If they are in the floor every room has a fluffy bed. I do not have cat climbing build, only fuzzy beds! 🐾
About: I'm a lifelong animal owner and lover - large breeds and small or with fur, scales, hooves, or feathers. My live-in partner is a work from home professional and certified dog trainer and I'm the Hospital Manager of a local veterinary hospital. Together, we offer a uniquely loving, experienced, and structured environment for pets of any size or special needs. Pets in our care are spoiled with snuggles and lots of love, treats (when permitted by their owners) and rarely spend time out of our sight. Long walks and playtime with our cattle dog and chihuahua wear out most dogs in no time. Unless specifically requested by their owners, dogs in our care are never crated for extended periods or locked inside without access to a fenced patio. Schedule: I offer an open, flexible schedule for clients with pets of all kinds. My pups and I begin each day with a walk to the beach, then home for a quick bath, brush, and nap before more playtime in the afternoon. Having someone that works from home allows all the time in the world for our pups and our visiting guests to be pampered, offering customized care for their unique needs. I treat drop-in visits like I would my own home, bringing in packages and ensuring everyone is happy and healthy before departing. Pets in my care are given extensive mental enrichment and physical exercise, with photos sent each visit to pet parents to ease any concerns and keep you informed about what your beloved furry family member is up to each day.
About: Hello There! My little family and myself are pet lovers! 🥰 We have two dogs, two cats and a bearded dragon. Our home has always been a bit of a revolving door for furry friends. I have been dog walking and pet sitting locally for the past 17yrs and have plenty of references. I am out and about most mornings doing dog walks, typically 9/930-12ish and available again most afternoon or evenings depending on what you need. I work for an afterschool program during the school year so my schedule tends to open up a bit more during the summer. We have a high, fully fenced in back yard w plenty of shade. I tend to take boarded pups w me on my walks if the temperament works. We live in a very quiet little corner in Carpinteria surrounded by parks and bike trails.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Carpinteria on Rover is $26.64 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,412 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Carpinteria. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Carpinteria. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Carpinteria.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
