Dog Walking Castaic

“Having Nihcole care for and walk our pets twice each day gives us so much peace of mind and joy when we're away from home. She's a bargain, in addition to being professional, well loved by our pets and bringing positive energy with her to every visit. We're pleased to be able to write a review and recommend her to other people who don't want to board their furry family members when they can't be at home. Nihcole's the best!!!”

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.

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’m a dependable and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I’ve handled daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, playtime, and overnight care while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m especially good at adapting to each pet’s personality — whether that means keeping up with high-energy dogs or being patient with anxious or senior pets. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands. I’m currently a student and have a very flexible schedule and will be happy to accommodate you. Please feel free to reach out to me. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment with lots of supervision, exercise, and interaction throughout the day. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and energy level to make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 7 years, giving me hands-on experience with daily routines, exercise, and attentive care. I’ve also cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds, from puppies to seniors. I understand that every dog has unique needs and energy levels, and I’m patient, reliable, and focused on making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.I’m Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

I prioritize safety by closely following all care instructions, routines, and guidelines provided by pet parents.

About: I have experience with big and little dogs which I’ve been doing for over 30 years. 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: 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.

“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'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.

“Eliot dies a great job taking our big puppy on regular walks 😊”
