Dog Walking Castaic

“Nihcole was excellent, easy to contact, very responsive to messaging and excellent with my two pups. Nihcole was easy to talk to and she took notes on the feeding routine. She was also very flexible when I needed to change a few things last minute. I throughly recommend Nihcole, we will definitely use her again when back in the area!”

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve had a major soft spot for animals big and small. I am the designated pet sitter for all of my friends and family, and have experience with everything from hamsters to newfoundlands. I’ve taken care of senior dogs, puppies, and am able to administer medications if necessary. As a dog owner myself, I understand the pressure of finding a good sitter and I would love to give you peace of mind! I am currently working events part time, and I pick my own schedule, so I have most days available for around the clock care. If I do leave the house it is generally only for short periods for appointments or quick outings. I am very present for the animals I care for and will spend time with them as well as feeding, walking, and playing with them. I’ve had sitters in the past for my own dogs who only came briefly for feeding and left, so I value quality time and understand they need more than the bare minimum.

“​I was looking for a dog walker super last-minute, and I got so lucky finding Jerry! We did an initial meet and greet with my pups, which went wonderfully. We’ve since had back-to-back bookings, and everything has been fantastic. Jerry is genuinely kind, and you can clearly tell how much he loves and cares for animals. My dogs are high-energy, but after their walks with Jerry, they are happily exhausted and ready to snooze. We are so grateful to have found him and will definitely be booking with him regularly!”

About: I have been around and handling animals my whole life. Big or small doesn’t make a difference to me. You can have 1 or 100 the more the merrier I’ve always said. I have experience with young big puppies and wait for you in the darkness to trip you cats. The “ excuse me may I have one more treat” horse to the parkour off you and everything goat. The sneaky kitties get caught redded pawed and the blubbering hounds sing with joy. I just moved back to Santa Clarita after living in Texas for 9 years. I’m currently doing handyman freelance work so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I try my best to make it seam like you’re not even gone by keeping to your pets normal scheduled routine and activities. That includes walks, feedings, medication, playtime, outside time a long with lots snuggles and plenty of treats (if allowed)

About: I am an active college student and mom to a 9 month old baby. I would love to take care of your fur babies as well whether if it’s just for an evening walk or have a sleepover during your vacation. I love to go to Starbucks or even just lounge on the couch and watch movies. I can provide any kind of care according to your puppy’s needs. I’ve taken care of my moms dog for about 8 years now and I adore dogs of all breeds and sizes and so excited to meet them all! According to each need of the dog I would either have a super active day, moderate work an outing and home or just a cozy, stay in day. I have mostly online school so I can rearrange my schedule to fit my work schedule as well. My apartment is perfect size for any pet and we are in perfect walking distances to huge parks and very close to a coffee shop to grab a pup cup ! We also have a great trail around which we could walk to.

About: I have always loved and enjoyed any kind of animal since I was young. On my free time I volunteer at my local animal shelter and donate when I can. Family and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets when needed. Any animal that I come in contact with is like one of my children! I take extremely safe and cautious with your pet. Your pet is in great hands with me. I'm currently an online college student, so other than that I will have all the time to play and attend to your pups! I am available every day of the week and available on weekends. Pet sitter: I have an enclosed yard, with lots of grass and shaded patio for your dog to play. I also have one friendly old dog that can keep your dog company. My dog can also be put in another room to allow your dog some space if needed. My home is air conditioned in the hot days and heated on the cold days. I have many areas for your dog to relax and feel great overall! Pet walker: I carry a pet water bottle when your pet gets thirsty. I am aware of my surroundings at all times in case of an emergency or danger.

“Ilona is amazing. Very friendly and takes great care of Munchie on his walks. She also goes the extra mile to help out with anything she can while visiting. I highly recommend her, and I am very happy with her services. 5 out of 5.”

About: Dear prospective client, I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 30 years. Professionally, I have worked as a walker for Mobile Mutts in Brooklyn, NY; a doggy daycare associate at NYC's Biscuits and Bath, and took care of pugs at a rescue called Pug Nation in Los Angeles, where I currently reside. In my personal life, I've been a devoted parent to 5 kitties and 2 pups. I've administered diabetes and other medication to cats; I've volunteered at multiple cat and dog rescues, where I was responsible for feeding, cleaning, playing and walking. I am passionate about animals and their well-being. I am an expert snuggler but also cognizant of a pet's boundaries and their special needs. I am a freelancer and have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on last-minute appointments. On most days, I am available as early as 7 a.m., and as late as 11p.m. I have a spacious and totally private, fenced-in backyard with grass that's a great space for some doggy playing and exercise. I live in a peaceful, safe community that's a dream for dog-walking. If pet-setting at your place, I will greet your pup with joy and love and make sure they feel loved. If crating is necessary, I am happy to do that as well. For kitties, I will play and snuggle and make them feel completely adored and engaged. Litterbox cleaning, medication administering, whatever your pet needs, they will be covered.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, but my biggest experience comes from raising my two Blue Heelers from puppies. My oldest is 15 years old and my other is 7, so I’ve had years of experience learning how different dogs can be at every stage of life. Blue Heelers are smart, energetic, and definitely have their own personalities, so raising them has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with high energy pups that want to play and stay active, but I also know how important it is to slow things down and give older dogs the extra attention and patience they need. What I think sets me apart is that I don’t see dog sitting as just feeding a dog and taking them outside. I actually enjoy getting to know each dog their personality, their routine, what makes them comfortable, and what makes them happy. I’ll give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is being treated like family while you’re away. I work a part-time job, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give dogs the attention and exercise they need. I’m available any time on weekdays and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to play, walk, feed, and spend quality time with them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I really enjoy being around dogs. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat their home and their pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep their pets on their normal routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, food, and fresh water. I also keep the space clean and secure and provide updates so the owner knows their pets are doing well.

“Great communication with lots of pictures of bacon on walks. She really took care of him like he was her own dog. I will definitely be requesting more walks from Alyssa.”

About: I've taken care of many pets in my life. I have watched my mom use Rover for many years and have helped with many stays and walks. During this time, I have gained experience working with pets who have specialized needs and require more attention than others. Energetic or not, all pets are different and require a good sitter who knows what to expect and handle many situations, and that's me! I can take your pet on walks or watch over them, making sure they're safe and sound. Updates every couple of hours will allow owners to feel peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I am available most days of the week and can help through early mornings or later in the evening. Pet care fits into my schedule and I will respond to any inquiries immediately! During walks, I can avoid other animals if that is required for your pet. We will spend quality time together and a good environment and trust can make your pet feel even happier during the walk. At home I am able to crate pets if necessary and give any medication that is required for them. Those pets with accessibility needs, I am able to carry them downstairs or upstairs if necessary and provide all other senior related care.

About: I’ve had private clients over the past two years consistent of house sitting and dog walking. Moving to a new area and switching to Rover to meet new pets to care for. I currently have open weekends and work a 9/80 schedule allowing me to be off every other Friday and available to help your pets! I provide attentive, loving care by following each pet’s routine, ensuring safety, clean environments, regular exercise, fresh water, meals, medication support, and consistent communication with owners.

“Trinity has been consistent & reliable with my pup on their past 8 walks. Trinity implements her commands & structure which is helpful in keeping our strong girl in check. Not only is she knowledgable & understanding about dogs my pup truly enjoys their time together!”

About: There has never been a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of dogs (and even a few wolves growing up)! My chihuahua-minpin mix Lo was an unplanned rescue (she was thrown out of a moving car in front of me) when she was about 6 weeks old. She’s 14 now and still a thriving terror in the absolute best way. I’m well-acquainted with the needs of different breeds, sizes, and ages, and fluent in canine behavior. Can’t wait to become besties with your beastie! I work remotely mostly over email so I’m very flexible in my availability. Visit times would largely be determined by already established feeding schedules and traffic. I’m happy to pop in for exercise/playtime, feeding, and cleanup! I’m detail-oriented and love a routine so I start with feeding (if medication is involved, it’ll be administered along with food unless otherwise specified) then change their water. Any necessary cleanup comes next, followed by exercise and grooming time.

“I’ve never had the chance to meet Lexy in person, but from what I’ve seen she’s amazing with pets especially dogs! She will always keep you updated with pictures during the walks and after. It was great to see our dog milo with someone trustworthy and friendly.”

About: Hi! I’m a dog walker and sitter in the Santa Clarita area. I am currently a grad student with flexibility in my schedule to meet your pet's needs. :-) I first began petsitting in 2015 in Maryland. Since 2022, I worked for the petcare company, BabygotBark, where I cared for an array of sweet dogs, cats and birds. I have experience caring for young to elderly pets, that have varied temperaments and sizes. I send updates, either daily or occasionally, whichever is your preference. This includes photos and excerpts on how your pup is doing. I also ensure your home is taken care of while you're away-- treating it gently and continuing any routines in your absence like watering plants and so forth. I value ensuring that you can travel without any worries! If you're looking for someone patient, flexible and communicative, you've found your person. Please let me know if you would like any contact references from past families i've worked with. :-) Take care! For my schedule, I also work as a design freelancer which ensures my schedule is often flexible with your dates of travel. My work comes with me wherever I go, so I am able to spend the majority of the day with your pet. During our meets and greet, I like to begin learning about their feeding, walking and grooming schedule so that they can continue the same routine upon your departure. I ask about their temperaments and any triggers to be mindful of. It's important to me that we continue the routine you've set for them-- to help them feel the most comfortable and confident during our time together. After our walks and feeding, I like to keep them company, any grooming care, and lots of love and cuddles.
