Dog Walking Isla Vista

About: I have been helping take care of my family pets since I was born! I have experience with geckos, cats, dogs, fish, birds, and more! I’ve also pet sit for my friends and family members. I’m currently a student at UCSB. I don’t have any classes on Tuesdays or weekends, and I’m free to dog walk or pet sit most evenings. I promise to give your pets the best care possible! Whether you want me to play, walk, crate, feed, or change your pets’ litter boxes, I’m willing to work hard and do whatever your pet needs.

“McKenzie is the absolute best! Dependable! Wish I could use her everyday. Tries to problem solve with you, flexible. Above all, my dog Tully loves her and enjoys their brisk mile walk 💕”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have lots of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes. All of the dogs I’ve owned have been over 100 lbs, so I’m especially comfortable handling and caring for large breeds. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, where I gained experience working with animals with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets plenty of attention and love while their owners are away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life since I’ve always had dogs and cats of my own. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or just hanging out and keeping your pets company! I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets with someone new, so I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. I’m super comfortable with both cats and dogs, especially big dogs since all of mine have been over 100 lbs. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to and I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away!

About: Hi! My name is Maggie, and I’m a junior at UCSB studying biology. I’ve grown up around all kinds of pets and have always loved caring for animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, Baby, a Yorkie, and Lexi, a Golden Retriever. They are definitely opposite ends of the dog spectrum but I love them so much and am very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! I also have previous dog sitting experience and understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m hardworking, energetic, responsible, and detail oriented. I love being outdoors, hiking, and going on walks, so I’d be more than happy to bring your furry family member along for some exercise and adventure. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away! I’m currently home from college for the next couple of weeks, so my schedule is completely open and very flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around whatever schedule is best for you and your pet. Whether it’s walks, dropins, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’d be more than happy to help! I have two dogs of my own who I feed, walk, play with, and care for every day, so pet care is already a big part of my routine. My little Yorkie, Baby, even sleeps with me every night! I’m very attentive to pets’ routines and make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and are always in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and will follow any specific instructions carefully so their pet can stay comfortable with their normal routine while they’re away.

I promise that I will always be attentive and caring.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I’ve helped train puppies with basic commands and crate training, and I’m also experienced in providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets—including administering medications, helping them move around comfortably, and sticking to special diets. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also volunteer at the shelter so i’m comfortable taking care of dogs big or small along with any special care requirements they have :) I work part time but have a very open schedule!

Their well-being is always a priority, and I’m flexible with my schedule to accommodate their needs. In both my home and my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow all instructions carefully, keep a clean environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also provide updates to help build trust and peace of mind.

“Julia is fantastic. She seamlessly worked into my schedule with a no stress but positive attitude that provided a calming presence for my occasionally nervous rescue pup. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of dogs in my family, for friends, and for neighbors since I was ten (walks, baths, and feeding), and have overnight stay experience! I am a student at UCSB with a lot of time throughout the day to pop in for walks and drop-ins! On weekends, I am completely free to housesit as well. Trust is super important not just with pets but with you. Making both happy and comfortable is my top priority, and that means fun pics on every walk!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both extended stays and drop-in visits. I’ve hosted an energetic, medium-sized mixed breed dog in my home for a full month, providing daily exercise, structure, and lots of attention. I’ve also cared for two Shih Tzus for a week-long stay, managing their routines, meals, and comfort needs. In addition to boarding, I’ve done house sitting and check-in visits, ensuring pets are well cared for in their own environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently a student at Santa Barbara City College, with classes Monday through Thursday. My schedule is light—usually just one or two classes a day—so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. I’m able to plan my routine around walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. My flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and present, whether it’s for daily visits, extended stays, or overnight care. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and a consistent feeding schedule. I make sure pets get lots of affection and stick as closely as possible to their usual routine. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and maintaining their normal schedule. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates, and make sure pets feel relaxed and well cared for while their owner is away.

“Leanna was great! She arrived here on time and the dogs came back tired and clearly had a great time on their walk/outing to the dog park. Extra grateful for her being available for our last minute request. We will definitely use Leanna again in the future :)”

About: Hi! My names Taylor and one of my biggest passions is caring for animals. I have 5+ years of experience in caring for pets and have always loved ensuring they feel safe and loved. I currently have a Maltese-Yorkie dog and a tuxedo cat. Throughout the years I’ve also had 3 yellow lab dogs and 2 other cats. Majority of my caring is done through my own pets, but I’ve also done consistent care for families including overnight stays for 5 dogs at once, and overnight stays for 3 cats at once. I’ve also cared for rabbits, fish, and hermit crabs! So I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals. As of today, I’m primarily looking for drop-ins or dog walks, but I am very flexible and always willing to help, so please reach out and I’ll try to accommodate you! I am currently a first year student at SBCC this year studying psychology. I am on campus 4 times a week for classes but have majority of my day outside of classes to fit in pet care! I currently live in student housing where I don’t have my own animals at school with me. At home, I provide daily walks to my dog, playtime outside, playtime with toys, and ensuring there is always water and food in her bowls. For my cat (outdoor), I give him playtime with toys or time to roam outside. I also ensure his water and food bowls are always filled. Both of which, I always make sure they are loved! In a clients home, same goes for their pets, ensuring their pet feels safe, happy, healthy, and extra loved.
