Dog Walking Cayucos

About: I have watched my neighbors pets for a long time now! Walking, feeding, and staying the night at their houses. I grew up with dogs so I love to be around them! I also enjoy long walks personally and would be happy to take your dog on nice long adventures! I am currently going to Cuesta College, fairly part time, but besides that I am free! I have a good amount of flexibility and free time these days. Therefore I can hopefully cater to your needs! I like to be attentive to the animals that I am with, especially if I’m working with clients that don’t have a fenced in yard! I enjoy making them feel comfortable by throwing a ball or playing tug of war etc.

About: Our family members have been animal lovers our whole lives and have had a number of dogs and cats over our lifetime. Before kids we had 5 years of pet and house-sitting experience. Based on word of mouth from friends and acquaintances. We provide a nurturing environment where your pets feel like part of our family. As parents of three kids, we involve our children in daily pet care routines, teaching them responsibility, respect and compassion. This hands-on approach ensures your pets receive personalized attention and affection.​ We understand that each pet has unique needs. Whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or providing extra playtime, we customize our services to ensure your pet's comfort and well-being.​ We believe in keeping you informed and are happy to provide updates and photos of your pets during our visits, so you can rest easy knowing they're in good hands.​ We are deeply connected to our local community. Our services are designed to support families and pet owners in our area, fostering a sense of trust and familiarity. Our kids are in a hybrid homeschool program my husband works a remote job from home and I am a full time mom so we are in and out several times a day but rarely gone more than 30-60 mins at a time. Which means we are available for pet care at regular intervals majority of the day 7 days a week. We live on a one acre property set back from the road and fenced around the sides and back. We do have a gate that we put across the driveway at night to keep the deer out of the fruit orchard so we have the possibility of fencing the whole property by putting the deer gate up in the day. We have a separate fenced back yard off of our deck with dog door access from the living room of the house. We have 2 cats that have their own space in the garage with in and out access. And we have a 30 lb 16 year old dog named Ninja he is mellow and sweet and sleeps most of the day.

About: I am a college student looking to spend some time with some pets since I grew up having them. I go on walks every day in my free time and would love to have a companion that needs to get outside too! I have had a collection of jobs including working with children, the elderly, young people with disabilities, and of course, pet sitting and dog walking. All of this makes me a responsible and respectful person that is a great fit for taking care of your pet! Currently a college student that can walk in the mornings before class everyday. Primarily I would love to walk or house sit Fridays through Mondays. I am a cat owner now and grew up with a lot of dogs. I am an avid hiker and love long walks. My job growing up was always taking the dogs for long walks until they were tuckered out.

About: I provide attentive, personalized care, maintain routines, give regular updates, create a calm home environment, and treat every pet with genuine patience and affection. Thanks! I work part time, usually in the mornings. I have ample time to play with pups, give plenty of potty breaks, and provide them food. I have a partially fenced yard and one very friendly pup to keep yours company. I can also provide great care at you home too.

“Kaylee has been wonderful with my large goldendoodle! She is always quick to respond, dependable and great with him. My pup looks forward to their walks. She has been a life saver on multiple occasions and I would definitely continue to choose her to care for my dog.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, including livestock. I’m responsible for overseeing the wellness and nutrition of every animal, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs. My experience also includes training and handling livestock, ensuring they are well-behaved and healthy. Whether it's managing animals’ care, training, or addressing specific needs, I’m comfortable working with animals of all types and ages I’m currently looking for part-time work and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and can accommodate morning, evening, or overnight stays. I also ensure regular check-ups to stay on top of everything. When caring for pets in a client's home, my approach is always centered around the pet’s individual needs and comfort. I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and familiar, especially when they're away from their owners. I offer a variety of services depending on the pet’s requirements, such as daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and regular check-ups to ensure their wellness. For overnight stays, I maintain the same routine as at home, keeping things consistent so the pet feels at ease. I also offer special attention to senior pets or those with specific health needs, making sure they get the care and attention they deserve. Communication with the pet owner is key, so I send regular updates and pictures to keep them informed and reassured that their pet is in good hands.

About: My family has our own dog Wilbur (see profile pic) who I love to take on walks and runs! I also like to play with him! One of his favorite games is tug of war. I’m a student on at Cal Poly SLO. I’m in class Monday-Friday. I’m available in the morning and afternoon throughout the week. I’m willing to work with you so we can find the time that works best for both of us! I will make sure your dog is hydrated by offering water during walks. I also like to give Wilbur a treat at the end of our walks, and I’ll do the same for your dog if you like! When checking up on your dog, I will make sure they have enough food, water, and attention.

“Kiah is great at reading our dog’s energy. She cut a walk short to not overwork him but spend the remaining time playing in the backyard with him. She’s such a good resource for us!”

“Eric is a wonderful dog walker. He is dependable, has flexible availability, is warm with animals, and even managed to win over our feisty chihuahua who doesn’t like strangers. We will definitely be asking Eric to dog sit for us in the future!”

About: I come from a family of animal lovers and have always been surrounded by either a new puppy, an elder dog, or a dog in their prime just looking to have fun. A lifetime of experience, and 7+ years of professional experience, has introduced me to dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have no problem with shy guys, energetic puppies, or elder dogs who just need a friend. I have the tools and knowledge to care for dogs all across the board, and not only that, but I love each dog with all my heart and treat them with the utmost respect. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a very flexible schedule, and do remote work. I can easily work with you and your schedule to come to your home to watch your pet, or pick up for pet for the day etc. I have a large fenced in yard to watch your pet for the day if they come to me. I am great at following any specific instructions and can also walk your dog around our 50 acres. If you are looking for someone to come to your home, I follow everything closely, and love working with you and your pet so everyone is happy and comfortable!

About: I have had a dog since I was 8, but I have always been surrounded by various animals. I have taken care of not only my own dog but also those belonging to my family and neighbors, gaining valuable experience in the process. I attended all of my dog's puppy training classes and learned from the trainer how to teach her numerous tricks. Additionally, I have assisted my friends in training their puppies to acquire essential skills and even taught them a few tricks, such as rolling over. Moreover, I volunteered at Animal Assisted Happiness, where I provided care for a variety of animals, including bunnies, goats, chickens, horses, and more. I currently work part-time, which allows me some flexibility to take care of your dogs. My availability includes all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but it may vary from week to week, but I am usually able to accommodate your needs. Feel free to send me a message, and we can work out the details! I enjoy playing with dogs and teaching them new tricks! Taking walks is a favorite activity of mine, and I'll ensure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time and opportunities to explore with long sniffs during our walks. Keeping their hydration in mind, I always make sure the water bowl is filled. Additionally, I prioritize their comfort by providing timely potty breaks and opportunities to go outside as needed.

“Karah was great with Pepper, our 1 year old black lab who is a ball of energy. We are grateful it went so smoothly!”

About: Hello pet lovers! I am Suzanne. A lover of animals, plants, and all living beings. I am a mother of 2 amazing children, Creid and Veda. We are animal loving homeschoolers. I have had pets my whole life. I have heaps of experience with cats, dogs, rodents, birds, chickens, and reptiles. When I was a teenager I house sat all the time and had a great time doing it. I used to work on farms in Central America caring for animals. I have a degree in Endangered Species Management and used to work as a Park Ranger with bears and birds. I am passionate about living sustainably- as close to my roots as possible- for future generations to enjoy this beautiful earth as much (or more!) as I get to. I am a stay at home mom with heaps of time to go to other people's houses. I make my own schedule every day so I easily adjust as jobs come in. I think it would be a great activity for my children and I. My son is 10 years old and is wild for animals. My daughter is 4 and is fascinated by animals. We don't have any pets right now and miss the time spent with animals. We are flexible to times and days. I treat all living beings with love and care. I've only had positive experiences with animals as I am quite confident in my energy around animals. I understand animals moods and boundaries and feel like I can read them. I know when to play aloof and when to be interested.

About: When i started taking care of my family’s dog, it was high maintenance, but also a very rewarding experience! Being surrounded by cats and dogd brings me great joy in life. I am a student who puts in 15 hours of school every week but I only have two classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings! I am available any other time. I am a very organized and aware person. I feel very comfortable caring for animals in other peoples home. Sometimes all animals need a little extra love.

“Julia was easy to work with and managed two dogs at once no problem! I’d definitely hire her again”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 4 years old. I love being around them, which is why I’ve always helped my neighbors while they were out of town. I’m currently a student at Cal Poly, making me available before 11 and after 2 during the week, and my weekends overall pretty open and available for drop ins or day long stays! I do live in an apartment where pets must be approved, so I will not be allowed to take your pet into my residency. However, I am more than happen to take your pet on walks either in your neighborhood or a pet-friendly park!

About: Every creature I meet - from fuzzy, waggy, purry fluff balls to mysterious little pocket-sized critters - is an adventure waiting to happen. I greet each one with sparkling excitement and big-hearted curiosity and love. 🏡🐶🐱 Due to remote working, I’m always here for your animal!! Animals at my house get the luxury of having interaction at their paws 🐾 Animals know I understand their secret frequency. My patience, gentleness, and playful spirit make them feel like they've found their long-lost best friend. I’ve had animals by my side my whole life, which is probably why I’m basically an animal whisperer at this point. They sense my intuition — that soft, instinctive way I know exactly what they need, whether it's a snack, a cuddle, or something else. Animals aren't just pets. They're honorary members of my family; my tiny roommates with fur. My home is their kingdom; my heart is their cozy lounge. Where I go, animals follow — because they know I’m the kind of human who truly gets them. I don’t just fit animals into my schedule — I weave them into my day. My routine is delightfully flexible, perfectly shaped to welcome paws. My schedule is flexible and intuitive, allowing me to build in regular check-ins, feeding times, walks, and play sessions without stress or disruption. I move through my tasks with patience, intuition, and a sprinkle of magic — knowing exactly when a dog needs an extra trot around the block or when a cat needs a dramatic feather-toy performance. Animals slip into my schedule so naturally you’d think they helped design it. To every pet I care for, I’m the whimsical guardian who arrives right when they need me — the keeper of routines, the bringer of fun, and the human who makes their day just a little more sparkly. Safety begins with awareness, consistency, and preparation. When caring for an animal, I create a space where their physical well-being is always the first priority. That means secure environments (no open doors if they are not allowed out, hazardous items, or unsafe spaces), proper handling, and mindful supervision during walks, play, or feeding. I pay attention to their routines, health cues, and comfort levels, making sure they’re protected from stress, danger, or anything unfamiliar that could overwhelm them. A safe animal is a relaxed animal — and I make that possible. A good environment is one that supports an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I create spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and full of enrichment — spots for quiet rest, opportunities for play, and room to explore without fear. My presence makes the environment even better: calm, welcoming, and filled with positive interactions. Whether the animal is staying in my home or I’m in theirs, I make sure their surroundings feel familiar, soothing, and full of the little comforts that help them thrive.
