Dog Walking Channel Islands Beach

About: Over my lifetime I have had small medium and large dogs. I have also had my share of cats. I am experienced with senior dogs and giving any type of medication if needed. I am retired and I recently lost my 10-year-old French bulldog (Remi). I have found that I now have a lot of time on my hands as he was my main focus. I am available weekdays and weekends. I am available to care for your pets in your home keeping them safe and stress-free. I will give them love and attention and give you regular updates so your time away from them will be as stress-free as possible.

About: I have two large-breed dogs of my own who I love to the moon and back, so I understand just how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’ve taken obedience training classes with my own dogs, and one of the biggest things I’ve learned is that dog training is just as much about teaching the owner as it is the dog! Those experiences have taught me patience, consistency, how to read a dog’s behavior, and how important it is to understand each dog’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, including large, strong, and high energy breeds. I also grew up around cats and have plenty of experience caring for them through my family. What sets me apart is that I’ll treat your pets the way I would want someone to treat mine, with genuine love, patience, attention, and respect for their normal routine. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout my day. As a dog owner myself, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention are already a natural part of my daily routine. I’m available for weekday and weekend care and can be flexible with timing depending on you and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule to help keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s boundaries. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, stay aware of our surroundings on walks, and never put a pet in an environment or situation that makes them uncomfortable. Having two large dogs of my own has also made me very comfortable handling bigger, stronger, and higher energy dogs. I also believe communication is a huge part of building trust. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 6. Having my own dog was literally the dream of my life since I remember. I’ve always loved animals and have had pets my entire life, - at different times, my family had 3 dogs, 4 cats, parrots, hamsters, and even chickens. I’ve always been the go-to person in my family for walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after our pets, and I truly enjoy every part of it. I love all animals, and I genuinely believe they feel my positive energy and trust in return. I’d be happy to help with pet sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking any time of day, including overnight stays. Please feel free to reach out anytime. I’m flexible throughout the day and will be glad to take care, home sitting or walking your pups, including overnight stay, please feel free to contact me. I can care for your pets in your home or spend time with them in your backyard. Unfortunately, I’m not able to host pets in my own home at the moment.

About: I have been a dog mom coming up for 9 years. The love and care I have for my own I enjoy giving to all dogs. At the moment I do not have a job that requires me to be at a certain location during the day so I am free mornings and afternoons. I make sure all pets are walking normally before and after and make sure that they don't consume anything off the streets. My main goal is to make sure dogs are tired or atleast distracted during their walk so they get the sense that they went out and can get a good nap in after.

About: I grew up with dogs in my home and taking care of friends and neighbors pets growing up. I love to exercise and I think dog walking is a great way to do so and makes it more enjoyable. I'm currently working part time a few days a week so I have plenty of time to pet sit, dog walk, ect. My availability is flexible. I think it's important for all animals to be taken care of with love and kindness. I'll follow any rules you may have and direction or instructions.

“Bradley is awesome! My dog loves him!”

About: I grew up taking care of animals. I currently have one Russian Tortoise, one pug, and two chihuahuas. One is diabetic so I have experience with giving insulin injections and monitoring pet health. I have house sat and pet sat for years. I also worked at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo for one year and worked with animals and conservation. I am currently a student and have plenty of availability. I have class Monday and Tuesday from 3-7 pm, and Thursday from 4-5pm, but can work around it. I live in a an apartment in a safe community, with a gated yard. I have a doggy door for access to the yard. There are tons of walking paths around.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. I grew up with Cody, a large chocolate Lab who was an amazing family dog. I was responsible for feeding him, walking him, and helping with his everyday care. Through taking care of him, I became very comfortable handling and caring for larger dogs. I’ve also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs and have experience with basic pet sitting, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and will treat every pet I care for like they’re part of the family. I’m a student at CSU Channel Islands and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with breaks between classes that allow me to come home throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I also live with two close friends who are very responsible, so someone is almost always home, making our place a great environment for pets who enjoy having people around. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and bathroom breaks. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s personality and comfort level and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away.

About: I’ve had experience working at a dog daycare which came with lots of responsibilities including dog watching, bathing, cleaning, and feeding- including administering medications. I currently work at an animal shelter where I handle dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, weight, and breeds. Using balanced training methods, I can also offer light training (puppy teething/mouthing, basic cues, some leash manners, resource guarding, engage/disengage with reactive pups, social bridging with shy ones). I’ve also worked with deaf, blind, and tripod doggos! I currently work a full time job 4 days a week with Sunday/ Monday/ Tuesdays off. Not available the rest of the week since I work long hours. Full honesty and transparency is the way to go! Direct communication is best to achieving the best service without any miscommunications. I’m typically a quiet person, and can provide a calm environment for your pet! Safety is a priority, I’m trained in recognizing dog/cat body language and behavior- recognize when they’re content, uncomfortable, shy, anxious.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life. I have a lot of experience with big dogs & I have a pitbull. I know very well how to handle dogs who pull or can be aggressive on walks. I fostered for 3 years with SBCAS & have cared for elderly dogs, dogs with severe injuries, and other serious medical issues. I’ve also taken care of plenty of other animals including cats, rodents, & reptiles. I am trained to handle & administer medical care for cats & dogs by the Ojai Humane Society I work evenings & weekends so I’m free all day to take care of your animals while you’re at the office or out of town. Happy to take your dog on a long walk or hike. I have a high energy dog so I’m used to doing a lot of playing & running if that’s something your dog requires.

About: I am hyper-attuned to your dog's needs ensuring your pets sense of trust and well-being is secure. Showing up and being present is my priority! I work primarily from home, and my schedule is flexible from the morning to early evening time, making it easy to schedule service times that work conveniently with your schedule and pet needs. Routines and consistency are important to ensuring a dog's sense of the world and trust because they can anticipate what to expect each day. With my own dogs, I wake up and take them for a jog first thing in every morning. The routine accompanied with the daily exercise makes for very happy, well-behaved and content dogs. I will bring that same perspective to your pet's life. Additionally, I am a long time Rover customer and when I was single and working 9-5, I relied heavily on my dog walker and sitter to show up daily, on time, in a loving, attentive way. For those of you who are away from your pets for long periods, please know that I understand the importance of being that consistent person in their life who shows up on time and meets their needs in your absence. Being a Rover walker and drop-in visitor is my way of giving back and saying thank you for all those who supported my pups for so many years!
