Dog Walking Grover Beach

About: I’ve always loved animals, and I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my life (wishing I could have all the animals!). When I was younger, I would cuddle up with my pets and even read to them. Back in high school, I worked at a local grooming salon, where I bathed dogs and cats. Since then, caring for animals has continued to be something I truly enjoy. I’ve been pet sitting for the past 7 years and have loved getting to know not only the pets, but their owners as well. I’ve also trained my own cat to do all kinds of fun tricks! I deeply understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets and giving them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Starting October 6th 2026 my availability is pretty open. Please take a look at my availability because some days may change or send me a message. My cat has feline herpes and daily I give him oral medication to help calm his outbreak. It's not curable but I try to manage it. I have taken care of pets who need medication 1-3 times a day. I do my best to make pets feel comfortable as much as possible.

About: I groomed dogs in 2022 & 2023 and developed genuine deep relationships that will last a lifetime. I truly appreciate each pets characteristics & personality. I’ve enjoyed thoroughly the time I’m blessed with in serving the communities furry friends! I’m available full time right now and am interested in short or extended stays I use the gym for an hour, 3 times a week but flexible there. Ready for new jobs to come my way. I’m always trying to insure pet safety 1st. I ensure they are heard and pay particular attention to changes in behaviors as these are tell tell signs of anxiety etc. Walking to bond and encouraging play is always pertinent . Talking in a loving way where they feel loved and ready to respond is vital to building trust.

“I appreciated Bonnie asking if she could stop by to meet Kimba a day before her walk. Kimba instantly loved Bonnie so the pairing was great!”

About: While going to college I walked approximately 10 dogs (individually) per month with occasional 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable with all size dogs; Chihuahua to Great Danes. If the dog likes to run, I’m up for that too. I like to be active and I know some dogs need a good run to get out their energy. I’m open to pet care. My house is pet friendly, and has a backyard enclosed with a 6 ft fence, gate that locks and a grassy area. I care for pets as if they were my own. I can give baths, make sure they are fed on time - including medication, and bathroom breaks, and most importantly walks or runs.

About: Can’t wait to hang out with your pet. I’ll always make sure they have fun with me. I’d love dogs but I think it’s a big step and prefer to be a sitter for now It fits in because I have a lot of free time and I’d love to spend time with animals ! Also I really love that I can get out and exercise and I am adding that to my daily routine Making sure my home or clean and free of any harm to animals or any one really. I live near the beach. So it’s perfect for a walk and there is a dog park nearby

“Lars has been great! He is reliable and friendly. Highly recommend.”

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.

I’ve grown up with both cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. I have a plethora of house/pet sitting experience. I understand the joy and responsibilities that comes with caring for a pet. I'm honest, compassionate, responsible, and reliable. I love the outdoors, so I enjoy taking your pets on walks. I promise to give your pet lots of care and attentiveness. In my care, pets often receive more visitation time than the standard half hour (if my schedule allows) simply because I love their company. You will never be charged for this "overtime" and if you prefer me to stick to half an hour, I will be happy to comply. Walks: On a walk with me, Rover dogs enjoy sunny strolls or jogs through the surrounding neighborhood, parks, and local beaches. Additionally, I always bring toys and treats on our adventures to ensure maximum fun. Drop Ins: During "drop ins" we will take care of business first (potty/food/medication/etc) unless otherwise requested. Then, we usually play inside (as allowed) or outside (as allowed) and we will absolutely snuggle. Sometimes we'll play fetch or learn commands. "House sits" combine the benefits of "walks" and "drop ins," with the addition of and any/all of the following options: -Overnight visitation (from dusk to dawn) -Live in (full overnight and some daytime occupancy - to be agreed upon before visit) -Constant occupancy (full 24 hour supervision for house and pets) During "house sits" we may go to the park or go for an extra walk if it's a nice day. Feel free to make special requests for these visits and I will gladly consider. *SMALL FEE APPLIES FOR MEDS I’m currently open to taking new clients and promise to take excellent care of your fur babies!

About: From belly rubs to mail pickups, I’ve got it covered. 🐕💌 Because your furry friends deserve the best staycation ever! Book your house sitting or boarding today—let the tail wags begin! 🌞🐾 ——————-Worry-Free Pet Care-——————— I would be delighted to serve as your pet's home away from home as summer and graduation draw near and people start planning their well-earned getaways. ————OFFICIAL YEARS ON ROVER: 1!!🎉🎉——— I have had the most amazing experience taking care of dogs this last year. I hope to meet even more amazing individuals and animals in the future. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. My mom's bosses used to leave their pets in our care when they went on long trips (up to 4 weeks). To this day, I still take care of a few dogs around my neighborhood, going on walks, giving them baths, and providing in-home care. I currently work full-time, but I have plenty of free time to give your pet plenty of love, attention, care, and affection, making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for! For the dogs that have seperation anxiety or want cuddles and belly-rubs all day. If any special accommodations are needed that is no issue. In your home. I would be respectful and vigilant to the homeowners house. They’d get the same treatment as if they were in my home and gets tons of walks. Most importantly they would be safe in my care! Any special routine/schedule would be followed as instructed by the owner.

“Very pleased with Abigail. She is as very punctual to meet our dog. She made sure to ask questions and know about our dog’s needs as well as our preferences with time and schedule.”
