Dog Walking in 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: My family and I have been pet sitting for almost 3-4 years now. And I am now moving into my own business where I travel to clients houses for pet sitting! I've taken care of pets all ages and sizes and have had amazing experiences and created so many new bonds and friendships with pets and their owners! I am a college athlete so sometimes my schedule can get very busy during the winter but, I am mostly free on weekends. Any further scheduling or dates needed will require messaging me privately. I only travel to clients houses who need sitters within their home. I accommodate to all needs necessary to make sure their pets feel safe and secure while their families are away.

I would bring me great joy to spend time with all dogs Recently retired looking to fill in days and nights helping others take care of their fur babies as I love taking care of my little one I have a fenced in yard or I can crate the dog if needed. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac where there’s plenty of room to walk and play

About: My family has had both cats and dogs since I was 8 years old. I also have experience working at pet boarding center, so I know how to care for pets of all sizes! My favorite part of that job was dog walking! I am a full-time Physician Assistant student and I love caring for pets as a way to relieve stress and serve the community! My schedule varies weekly, but I am most often available early mornings and in the evenings! I understand I will be a stranger entering your pets home, and that can be scary for them. I pledge to lead with love and respect their space!

About: I’ve cared for newborn liters and have a soft spot for bulldogs! I have experience with all breeds! I love spending time with your fur babies!! Hi! I’m very flexible and willing to travel :) I have a lot of time during the day and tons of experience in pet care!! I make sure I understand the instructions the owner left for me. I care for the fur baby and give them extra attention!! Dogs get really sad when their owners leave and I want to make it easy for them!!

About: I’ve grown up caring for animals and currently help care for four dogs and a cat at home, so I’m very comfortable with different routines, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with young puppies, older dogs, cats, and multi-pet households, so I understand how important consistency and attention are. I’ve also worked with horses, which taught me to be calm, patient, and aware when caring for animals. I genuinely love animals and try to make every pet feel comfortable, cared for, and kept on their normal routine while their owner is away. Pet care already fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to caring for animals daily at home. I’m comfortable planning around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets consistent attention. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and times. I’m easy to communicate with and like to stay organized ahead of time, but I can also be flexible depending on what’s needed. I take pet care seriously and focus on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and in their normal routine. I pay close attention to instructions and each pet’s personality so everything stays consistent. At home, I care for a young puppy, so I’m used to staying active, patient, and engaged. I also have experience with a puppy who has allergies and needs more attentive, consistent care, so I’m comfortable handling more detailed routines. In addition, I have a senior dog, so I understand the patience and consistency that comes with slower-paced care and medication routines. I also really enjoy taking my dogs on walks and keeping them active. I have a cat as well, so I’m used to daily feeding, keeping up with the litter box, and adjusting to her personality, sometimes social, sometimes more independent. Overall, I’m very comfortable adapting to different needs while keeping everything organized and running smoothly.

“Juliette is amazing. She’s so professional and does a really nice job. My dog is lucky to have her in his life.”

About: I have walked neighborhood dogs since I was 11 years old. I serviced all dog owners, giving dogs fun experiences, and senior owners relief when they were not able to physically walk their furry companions themselves. I also serviced young owners who simply needed an extra hand during their day-to-day commitments. Need someone to check on your dog during vacay? Don’t fret! Your dog will be A-okay with me. I am currently holding a part-time clinical position in behavioral health, so I still have some open days during my week. Feel free to select any open slots available or just reach out! Inside the home, I am always checking and safeguarding the house to prevent any accidents or injury. While dog sitting for clients, I will also check each day for any little messes that pets may have left behind—especially if they are prone to peeing and/or pooping in the house. When I take my dog for walks, I always make sure that the weather is safe for his paws, or bring essentials like water if we are going outside for a longer time. If it is a hot day, I make sure he’s drinking plenty of water. I treat my dog for good behavior, or if I need him to come quickly. I keep my dog on a leash during walks but during place in an open field or dog park, he can go off leash and play. When a neighbor’s dog is in my care, I only let them off leash depending on their history with behavior, and where it is appropriate for them. And of course, I give them company.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, and I currently take care of three adopted cats. I’ve been caring for them for many years and truly enjoy building trust and meaningful connections with pets. I’m currently a stay-at-home wife, which allows me to have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your furry friends. I’m available from Sunday through Friday. I provide a calm, clean, and safe home environment for pets. I closely follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and care instructions. I always supervise interactions, keep doors secure, and make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times.

“Graham is the best! My dog doesn’t like other dogs and can be a handful, but Graham is so good with him and my puppy always comes back happy and tired from his walks. Graham is such a calm and kind dog walker, it gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. My daughter and friends rely on me to take care of their fur babies. They know they are loved, cuddled and well taken care of. They are just like part of my family. I am retired and spend time walking several times a day and would love a fur baby friend to hang out with. I lost my fur baby a year ago. I have a large fenced in area and lots of places to play. No pool. I have lots of great walking areas as well as play areas. I allow dogs to sleep with me. If they need to be crated for comfort that is fine too!

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I have experience with rescues. I'm an active sitter near hiking trails. Last minute availability is possible. I'm currently working from home part-time making pet care fit easily into my days. If you need daily drop-ins for feeding, walking, running or medications, or ball play, we can set up a custom plan for your fur babies. I treat every pet as if it's my own. If your pet has special needs, we can discuss how best I can make them feel at ease. I'm here to help and open to handling specific needs. I've been there myself with my own babies.

About: Hi there! I’ve been a lifelong dog lover — my first dog joined the family when I was 9, and I’ve been caring for dogs ever since. Over the years, I’ve looked after pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra attention and gentle care. I have a background in healthcare, so being responsible, attentive, and compassionate comes naturally to me. Whether your pup needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like my own — with plenty of love, patience, and consistency. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first, and I’ll make sure you have regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m a full-time grad student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the week and weekends. I’m typically available after 10 a.m. and can do late-night local check-ins as needed. I also have a car, so I can easily make quick visits or last-minute schedule adjustments when needed. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I’m reliable, respectful, and treat your space and pets with the same care I would my own. You can trust me to follow routines, keep things tidy, and ensure your pets are happy and secure while you’re away.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats. I grew up in a household that always had multiple cats. I just recently moved from my parents house where we had four, including a rescue I brought back from an overseas deployment. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including my childhood pet, a 14 year old Siamese in her final years, where I provided comfort, medication support, and close monitoring. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens, including bottle feeding, scheduled care, and neonatal support (including stimulation for bathroom and feeding routines), so I’m very comfortable with young or high needs animals. I also have hands on experience caring for dogs, including a family chocolate lab that I regularly walked, took on beach trips, transported safely in my vehicle, and maintained consistent feeding and exercise routines for. I’m comfortable managing leash behavior, high energy dogs, and ensuring pets get both physical activity and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine compassion and attentiveness. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort level. Treating any animal I encounter humanely is my calling. It is humans responsibility to care for them. I’m a substitute teacher, so I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I have no pets or children at home. I have a huge backyard that isn’t completely fenced, but property behind it. No smoking or people coming in/out for any reasons.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 14 years old for neighbors, family, etc. I've always had several pups in my home at a time because they're my little babies. All of my dogs have been very well trained and follow directions extremely well! I'm currently a full time student but all my classes are scheduled for Tue/Thurs, and I work part time from home on my off days as a lash tech. I make my own schedule so I have PLENTY of free time to care for your pups! Because I am home all week for the most part I hang out with the dogs all day everyday so no need to worry about your fur baby getting lonely! We'll cuddle and watch tv. Regular potty breaks are taken, my two dogs are on a bathroom schedule, they go first thing in the morning, once or twice in the afternoon, and once before bed. Other pups that I have taken care of seem to catch on to our schedule very quickly and have no problems with it! If there is a time where I do need to leave to go do a grocery pick up or anything like that I let the dogs sleep on the couch while I'm gone, but I do have a crate present just in case I do need to put the pup up if they don't do well being left out of the crate with no supervision.

About: I have several years of experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s walking energetic dogs, providing enrichment for curious cats, or giving gentle attention to senior pets, I focus on safety, consistency, and genuine affection. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, basic training, administering medications, and tailoring care to each pet’s unique personality — treating every animal as if they were my own Even with a busy school schedule, I plan pet care into my day to make sure no routine is ever missed. I’m reliable, punctual, and always confirm availability in advance. I treat every pet as if they’re my own, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and loved. I keep their space tidy, watch them closely, and stick to their familiar routines so they feel right at home.
