5. Kevin L.
About: Having grown up my whole life with animals including dogs of all ages, cats, rabbits, etc… I have learned a great deal about the different care and attention that various house pets require such as the administering of their medication and making sure they get the amount of physical activity they require every day. I am student at UCSb but right now I am back home for summer break and currently have an open availability for the whole week. I will treat your pets with the up most attention and care as if they were my own and provide you with updates throughout the day. I will respect your home and ensure the security and cleanliness of your home.

“Leah was great. My pooch was very happy and tired after his walk. Leah arrived on time”
7. Jessica N.
About: I have experience owning and caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs, and everything in between (including dogs with all different needs and abilities). Caring for multiples is also second nature to me, so if you’ve got a pack of your own, I can handle them! My schedule: I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet's/pets' needs for attention, exercise, and simulation! I am totally devoted to the animals in my care, and I build my schedule around their needs. A Day In The Life: I live in a condo, and it's an upstairs unit. Although I do not have a yard, I am quite active with my dog Mo. In addition to the several walks we do around the neighborhood every day, we make sure to do at least one longer outing that allows him to run and get good and tired! We regularly visit the Douglas Family Preserve, dog parks, hiking trails and the beach.
8. Sophia W.
About: Before I understood I was a dog person, I started training my cats to sit on command. My passion lies in the care and training of dogs. I've raised dogs from puppies, I have fostered, and I have a good understanding of behavior and what makes your pup happy! I also have experience with farm animals and small animals (like as bunnies and geckos.) Due to my school schedule, I will be available after noon on week days and have full availability on weekends. Just let me know what you need and I am willing to try and find something that works for both of us. I try to stick to the family’s schedule whenever I can so that your pet feels the most comfortable. I also love doing mental stimulation exercises and basic agility training.
9. Cecily T.
“Cecily has been boarding our energetic pup for us for over 2 years now! She is a fantastic, trust-worthy, and super active person - we know when we leave our dog with her that he will come back to us happy and exhausted. She has boarded our dog at her house and has also stayed at our house to watch him, depending on our needs. Our dog gets along so well with Cecily's dog and they have the best time together. I highly recommend Cecily to watch your pet as she is a real animal lover!”
10. Kepa B.
“Kepa is an excellent communicator! He also clearly loves dogs. I appreciate having him as a reliable companion for our pup!”
11. Benjamin S.
“Benjamin has been an EXCELLENT dog walker for Oscar! I can tell because Oscar whines until I can get him collared and leashed-up near the door once he hears the doorbell! Wonderful addition to the family!!!!”
12. Georgina C.
“Georgina is the best petsitter we've ever had! She is prompt, reliable, and communicative. Our dog is reactive and extremely leery of strangers, but Georgina easily won her over with her gentle, intuitive dog-sense and calm demeanor. She has also been great with our cats, rabbits, and chickens. I highly recommend her as a dog walker and petsitter.”
13. Aya S.
“Aya and David are reliable and caring dog walkers — Riker is always happy when they come to pick her up.”
14. Camila C.
About: I've always grown up around dogs and have had experience caring for them at the various stages of their lives. I also know the best places in town for dog walks depending on the dogs needs. My cat care experience has grown since I began cat sitting for a close friend finding myself now torn between cats vs dogs debate. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule allowing me free blocks of time throughout the day. I am also around on nights and weekends. Your pets are my priority and like with any new pet I want to establish trust. I am all about making them as comfortable as possible and ensuring the best care.
15. Natalie B.
“Natalie went above and beyond care for my dog and expressed a genuine love for animals. If you're looking for a responsible and loving dog walker in the area, I highly recommend Natalie.”
16. Alyssa G.
“Thank you Alyssa for walking coco today, I knew that he was in your hands when he was with you. I would definitely use you again, thanks a bunch!”
17. Gabe P.
About: I am a proud lifelong friend to a sweet Brussells griffon/Italian greyhound mix, Cocoa (10yrs). I have a passion for these amazing creatures and love spending time in the park playing or practicing different tricks. I know how difficult it is to find a place or someone to care for your pet while you are away. Personally, I always think "No one will take care of Cocoa the right way." So I want to make sure each pet gets that personalized loving attention while their human friends are away. My household consists of two people who love having little companions around. We have a perfect socializing environment for puppies and dogs to socialize and learn to be respectful mates. I enjoy taking long walks down eastern parkway and through prospect park.
18. Madeline D.
“When Madeline was young she wanted to own a dog ranch where she could rescue, love and take care of many dogs and still has that dream. Madeline lives with two dogs who love to follow her everywhere. Over the past several years Madeline has enjoyed multiple jobs dog sitting for many families. Debbie D”
19. Isabella M.
“A friend recommended me Isabella to sit my dog while I was on vacation. I left my dog (dachshund male) named Chapi with her for a week. She looked so happy playing and running around with her dog. You can tell Isabella loves animals. I would most definitely recommend Isabella to care for your dog”
20. Rio R.
About: I grew up around almost every animal… raised several of my own and have always taken care of neighbor, friends and family’s animals. I love animals! I currently am a part time nanny with a very flexible schedule. I am looking to also fit in my passion for animals into my work schedule. If you have specific dates don’t hesitate to reach out for my availability. I am very active and love to have a animal companion with me. I am very tentative and responsible! If you have any special directions or concerns please feel free to message me.
