Dog Walkers in Isla Vista, CA

About: I’m a pet owner who has worked with Dozens of dogs and cats since the age of 10, Including Dogs of friends and neighbors, and have loved doing so every time. As a student, my schedule can differ, but I’m willing to properly communicate to make our schedules work and to prioritize you and your pet. From experience, I always approach an animal in a loving and respectful manner, keeping an eye out for potential threats to ensure the animals safety.

“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 have a large family but we are also a large family of dogs! My family has so many dogs I couldn’t count them on my two hands.

I am a full time student but I just started summer so I am available anytime any time during the week (or weekends if needed) I have a lovely fenced yard with grass and I am a 5 minute walk to a dog friendly beach! I lived around a lot of nature with great hikes :)

About: I love pets every since I was a kid I’ve always had one and taken good care for them because they mean soo much to me and will always be my number 1 friend! Dog sitting and care for pets will always have time for me in any routine that am in because of the passion and love I have for them. My favorite part of my schedule is taking the dogs out for a walk, hike, or play around the park, or take them out for runs. I care for them like any other human I feed, care, love, and adore them. I take them out 3 times a day one in the morning, afternoon, and at night to walk, or use the bathroom, or any other type of requirements needed.

About: I have had a black lab since I was 13 back home in New Jersey. I love spending time with her (Luna) whether it is going for walks or swimming at the beach or just watching tv. I have taken a lot of care of her especially when she had stroke and lost a lot of function in her body so now she walks with a limp. I am good with understanding dogs, taking care of dogs, and playing with dogs. I also have experience watching my cousins dogs over multiple weekends and have been paid for overnight stays watching dogs over the weekend. I am very interested in finding a dog to walk and hangout with for the next couple months and would be happy to meet with anyone! I currently just graduated college so I have no real routine or schedule for the next two months before my actual graduation ceremony. My schedule is very flexible and I will likely be gone one or two weekends maximum and here in Goleta on the weekdays. I can’t accommodate a dog in my home right now since I have other roommates. However, I’m happy to come to whoever’s house and watch their dog there or just take the dog for walks.

About: I worked at Dioji for three years with all breeds and sizes and was a manager for some of that time. I am confident in feeding, bathing and medication administration! I am a recent stay at home mom so my infant son Felix will be joining me! My schedule will be as flexible as he is and if your dog is uncomfortable with young children this is not a good fit. I have a large fenced yard at my house. We live in a shared home so the dog will most likely stay outside with supervision.

About: I ran my own successful pet care business in Brooklyn for 5 years, have worked for 2 vet clinics & a grooming salon & raised many furbabies. I'm available to petsit in a client's home anytime. I'd be with your pets when not at work, so they're not alone too much while you're away. I can stay over at a client's home any day of the week for up to 3 weeks. During a sit, I offer all day hang outs for lonesome pets on the weekends, and I'll stay in each evening.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and my major responsibilities started at about 8 years old. I aided my own senior dog with her health issues as well as my neighbors dog who requires extra medical attention. I am well-versed in dog-breeds and the nature of these animals. I love all dogs and have always been the dog-walker for my neighborhood. I have experience with puppies and am comfortable with large dog breeds. This will most likely be my main job, as I am a university student returning home for the summer. I am super flexible schedule wise and can easily meet any expectations. I have a fenced yard and my own dog who is 10000% dog-friendly. I am used to crate-trained dogs as well as those who may need to be restricted in the house. They will have my full attention no matter the environment to ensure they are well taken care of.

About: I grew up having dogs and have been taking care of them from a young age. I dog-sat for a family for about 3 years with a young dog and a senior dog. For this family, I walked them, took them to dog parks, fed them, helped train them, and also spent the night when needed. The senior dog required special tasks like extra monitoring, diaper changes, and help with mobility. When their senior dog passed they adopted a 6 week old puppy which I then took care of as well. I helped with his potty training, socialized him with other people and dogs, and taught him some basic commands. Overall, I have experience with all ages of dogs and would love the opportunity to spend time with some amazing pets! I am currently a student at Santa Barbara City College, but only go onto campus one time a week so I have an extremely flexible schedule and lots of time to take care of your dogs! My home is one level, open layout, with a gated front yard to secure your dog! I live near the beach with many beautiful walking trails if your dog ever needed to come to my house for the day.

About: Hi everyone!! My name is Pricila currently based in Isla Vista!☺️ I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for 10+ dogs over the years. Some of my dogs even had puppies, so I’ve had hands-on experience helping raise litters and taking care of young pups from the beginning. I’m comfortable helping with things like feeding schedules, potty training, teething puppies, basic grooming, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I’ve also cared for older dogs and understand they sometimes need a little extra patience and help, whether that’s giving medication, helping them move around comfortably, sticking to special diets, or just keeping them relaxed and loved. I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part time and doing school at the same time so my availability is after 3pm Monday-Wednesday. Thursday-Sunday I have full availability! I currently don’t have a fenced yard but I am walking distance away from the beach! So me and many fur friends can run along and play at the beach. If beach isn’t your favorite environment, I also live near dog parks! No other fur friends in my home so I can dedicate as much time and energy to the fur friends!

About: I have my own goldendoodle who's a big fluffy ball of energy! I have more experience caring for large high-energy dogs but also love my smaller friends! I am very structured and detailed when it comes to any type of care your doggie needs. I am most available during the weekends, Friday to Sunday. For check-ins, I am very open to make it work with my daily schedule! I am very cautious to pay attention to details in order to ensure the best care for your fur friend. I am very open with communication between past clients of mine for hourly updates or concerns to maintain peace of mind when away from your dog. Being in a larger city also makes me cautious of where I go on walks and the safest route to take.

“Sheena has always taken such great care of our dog! As he slows down with age, we’re so grateful to have someone special to look after him.”

“Michelle is a fantastic! She is responsible, on time, and energetic. I highly recommend her for dog walking services. She puts my dog at ease when she greets him and leaves him exhausted when she drops him off. She is a lovely soul and I know my dog really enjoys being with her.”

Jennifer K.

“Was my first time using Rover and Megan was amazing! She always sent pictures of her walk and my dog loved her! She was quick to respond if anything came up - would 100% book her again. Thanks for being so good to my dog!!”

About: I have been providing pet (dogs, cats, and small animals) and house sitting services in Santa Barbara for the past 5+ years and have worked with many breeds and ages, including senior dogs. I provide individualized and attentive care for your fur babies. I’m dedicated to ensuring your dogs wellbeing while you are away - that means attention, playtime, exercise, feeding, and practicing commands. This is my primary work and my schedule is dedicated first and foremost to pet care. I do not have any pets of my own and do not board more than one dog (or a preexisting pack of dogs) at a time. I am happy to crate your dog if your prefer. I do not have a yard but guarantee numerous walks of varying distance and length, depending on your dog”s needs.

About: Hello! My name is Josie. I am a 21 year old college student studying early childhood education at University of Hawaii Manoa. I have grew up around dogs, and currently have two of my own who live with my mom in California. Since around the age of 13 I have watched multiple of my neighbors/ family friends pets. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I am currently a full time student who does not live with animals so getting to spend time with your animals would be such a treat. Because I am at school on morning I often go on walks in the afternoons so being able to bring a furry friend would be even better. I live in a very safe and walkable neighborhood. It's near a school where I often see other dogs running around as well! Your dog would be well cared for in my home. It does have a small set of stairs so if that's an issue please let me know.

About: I’ve been a happy dog owner for over 5 years and have firsthand experience caring for pets with consistency and attention. I’ve raised my own Shih Tzu and have helped care for other dogs of different sizes and needs, including a senior Newfoundland. That experience has made me extremely comfortable with both small and larger, older dogs who may need extra patience and care! I am currently a full time student at UCSB, but have slots in between classes every day of the week. On weekends, I am fully available. I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I follow eating and walking schedules closely, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel calm and well cared for.

About: I am a 28 yr old recent veteran. I’m a reliable and easygoing dog lover based in Santa Barbara who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I live an active lifestyle, so whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, beach adventures, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I’ll treat your dog like family. My goal is to give owners peace of mind and make sure every pup has a fun, stress-free experience!

About: I love any and all dogs! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a 7 year old well-trained aussie and 2 year old chihuahua at home! I would love to care for your animals as well ▼・ᴥ・▼ ♡ I am currently working in SB in my gap years before med school, but my schedule is pretty flexible on weekends! Just let me know what works best for you and your pet. I am open to whatever needs your pet requires. I am willing to walk, feed, play with, and/or give medications to your pet when needed. Personally, my aussie gets fed morning and night, goes on a 2.5 mile walk in the mornings, and sleeps with me in my bed.
