Dog Walking Carpinteria

“Noah was super kind and very attentive. His communication skills were great and Moose got a good workout in for his first walk. I'll definitely be using him again.”

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.

About: I loved dogs so much when I was young that when I was 13 I started my first job as a dog washer at the “European Grooming” dog groomers up the street from my childhood home. I would work there all day every Saturday and loved it because I got to be with so many dogs. I also have been a second mom to my friend’s two Pitbull pups which have been quite a handful, but noting I can’t handle! I have experience helping to train and discipline even the most hyper and aggressive pupsters. I’m currently working part time remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I just moved here and I think it would be fun to get to walk dogs while walking around this beautiful area 🌊 I can’t have dogs come to my home because my roommates have territorial cats, but I am happy to house sit and walk dogs to help families who need a reliable dog sitter.

“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 worked professionally with dogs for over 5 years at a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also have a multi-pet household of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling routines, feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and giving your pup or kitty lots of love and attention. 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: 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.

About: I've walked, and taken care of my dog for eight years. What ive learned from taking care of my dog is learning how to take care of a dog with anxiety. This can be said for my brothers dog as well, as he also has anxiety, and Ive tooken care and walked him frequently. I'm very detail orientated with dogs, so that they feel comfortable and happy. So ify they need some kind of specific care, I will make it a priority. Im currently just going to Santa Barbara City College. I have college on Mondaya, Thursdays, asn Fridays from 10 to 3.

About: I have 19 years of experience caring for all breeds of dogs and cats, and a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I walk or hike daily, and would be thrilled to have your pet join me for exercise, fresh air, and fun! I'm flexible, reliable, and patient, always taking the time to understand and meet each pet’s unique needs. I'll love and care for your animal as if they were my own — giving you total peace of mind while you're away. I recently relocated to Carpinteria from South Africa, but I previously ran my own pet sitting business in San Francisco, California. As I grow my new business here, I’m excited to offer my services to local families who want the very best for their pets. I work from home running my own business, which means I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to yours — weekdays, weekends, and everything in between. Your pet’s routine becomes my routine, ensuring they're comfortable, loved, and well-cared for at all times. I live in a beautiful 3-bedroom condo in Carpinteria with my husband and our 15-month-old son, who absolutely adores animals. We have a spacious outdoor patio and a private potty area downstairs, making it a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I would love to meet you and your pet in person to get to know each other and see if we're the right fit. You're welcome to visit our home and see firsthand the loving, safe environment your pet would enjoy. I have 19 years of hands-on experience providing personalized, attentive care for dogs, cats, puppies, rabbits, birds, and horses. I grew up on a farm in South Africa, surrounded by animals of all kinds, and have been riding horses since the age of four. Caring for animals has been a natural and important part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began pet sitting at age 15 and continued throughout college, running my own dog sitting business from my apartment in San Francisco. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of personalities — from energetic puppies needing early training to senior pets requiring extra support, medication administration, and plenty of patience. My experience includes daily walks, hikes, in-home boarding, drop-in visits, administering medications, senior care, and working with shy, anxious, or reactive companions. I take the time to understand each animal's unique needs and personality, creating a safe, nurturing environment where they feel completely at ease. What sets me apart is a lifetime of experience, a deep-rooted love for animals, and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care. Growing up on a farm in South Africa gave me firsthand experience with a wide variety of animals from an early age, and running my own dog sitting business in San Francisco during college strengthened my ability to care for pets in a busy, urban setting. I’m confident caring for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and even horses and chickens. I take pride in creating a calm, loving environment where each animal’s routine is honored and their individual needs are truly understood. Every pet I care for is treated like family — with patience, respect, and genuine affection.

“Lauren was awesome! Super flexible and helpful. It was so hot and she was accommodating with timing to keep the pup safe. Would love to have her walk our guy again in the future!”

About: Hi my name is Melissa! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a 7-year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. Raising and caring for my own dog has taught me so much about patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I’ve also worked with him through dog training, so I’m familiar with positive reinforcement techniques and basic training tools that help keep dogs happy, engaged, and well-behaved. In addition to caring for my own pup, I’m the go-to dog sitter for my cousins, family, and friends whenever they’re out of town. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, sticking to routines, or simply providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the level of care I give every dog. I don’t see pet sitting as just a job I treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I make it my priority to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, follow your dog’s routine closely, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and one-on-one attention. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am available in the mornings or afternoons. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already care for my own 7-year-old dog every day, so adding walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention for other pets is something I truly enjoy. I have a flexible schedule outside of work and make it a priority to give every pet the time, care, and attention they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. As a dog owner of 7 years, I understand how important routine, patience, and safety are. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions while making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Jayme is super accommodating and wonderful with my puppy! She plays with him, walks him, feeds him.. keeps him happy and entertained! You can really tell how much she adores animals! I am so happy to have found her! Odie loves her!”

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born. I’ve had bunnies and cats and fish and dogs and birds. I’ve learned great ways to meet each of these animals with gentle and respectful care. I primarily work Monday-Wednesday 11am-8pm. I’m much more available in the evenings and weekends to take care of beloved pets. Pet walks would be most accessible on Thursdays-Sundays. I do not offer pet care in my home, I don’t have pets because I live in a very tiny apartment and know that’s not conducive for their wellbeing. In my client’s home, I show the utmost respect and care for their items, animal care needs and I triple check that I leave everything clean and locked.

“Chloe was great with Aria! She took her on two nice walks and I know Aria enjoyed getting out and exercising! Chloe confirmed on relatively short notice and was kind, communicative and professional. Thanks Chloe!”

About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a lifelong dog lover and animal person. I raised a 15-year-old Havanese from puppyhood through her senior years, and now share my life with Willow, my playful and social one-year-old cattle dog mix who absolutely loves having dog friends around. We live on a peaceful mountain property near Carpinteria with lots of outdoor space to explore. Our days are full but relaxed — usually a mix of time at home while I work on graduate school coursework, walks around the property, afternoon rest time, and beach outings or little adventures into town. I love matching each dog’s energy level — whether that means active hikes and play sessions or a slower-paced day with cozy naps and calm companionship. I’m currently in graduate school studying acupuncture, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see your pup enjoying their stay. I have experience with training and behavior work, including helping raise a previously reactive rescue dog. While I have that background, I’m currently focused on hosting dogs who are comfortable social playmates for Willow, so I’m not taking reactive dogs at this time. Our home also includes chickens (securely enclosed), and I’m happy to accommodate pickups or coordinate logistics to make things easy. If you’re looking for a safe, loving environment where your dog can enjoy outdoor adventures, companionship, and attentive care — I’d love to connect! As a graduate acupuncture student, I spend most of my days at home studying, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and structured care. Our daily routine includes relaxed time at home, walks around our mountain property near Carpinteria, rest breaks, and beach or town outings depending on your dog’s energy level. I’m able to accommodate active dogs who love adventure as well as pups who prefer a slower, cozy pace. Because I’m home frequently, dogs are rarely left alone and get lots of attention, enrichment, and outdoor time throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a peaceful mountain property with plenty of outdoor space and a calm home environment. This property is unfenced. My dog Willow is a friendly, playful cattle dog mix who enjoys respectful dog companions. Dogs are supervised during interactions and introductions are done thoughtfully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m experienced with training and behavior awareness, comfortable administering basic care, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and boundaries. Our chickens are securely enclosed. I provide regular photo/video updates and maintain clear communication so you always feel confident while your pet is in my care.
