Dog Walkers in Kingsville, CA

About: I've been around animals my entire life and currently care for two horses, a donkey, and a dog as part of my daily routine on our ranch. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs, cats, and several reptiles, giving me experience with a wide variety of animals and their unique needs. Caring for animals is more than a responsibility for me—it's something that brings me genuine fulfillment and helps keep me grounded. From feeding, grooming, and exercising animals to monitoring their health and well-being, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentive care. As a pet sitter, I strive to provide the same level of love, safety, and attention that I give my own animals every day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I will make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I am reliable, trustworthy, and committed to treating every pet as if they were part of my own family. Pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. Early every morning, I get up early to feed my two horses, donkey, and dog. I make time to check in with each of them, give them attention, and make sure they're happy and comfortable. I also ensure all water troughs are full, muck stalls and runouts, and provide turnout time in designated pastures for grazing, exercise, and enrichment when appropriate. In the evenings, I bring the horses back in, separate them into their individual stalls so they can eat safely, feed everyone again, check that their environment is secure for the night, and close up the barn. Caring for animals every day has taught me the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and maintaining a reliable routine. Because animal care is already built into my daily schedule, caring for clients' pets fits naturally into my day. After completing my morning ranch chores, I have the flexibility to visit and care for other pets, and I treat them with the same attention and care I give my own animals. I enjoy making each pet part of my routine and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's needs and follow the owner's instructions closely. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive exercise and bathroom breaks as needed, and get plenty of attention and companionship. I also monitor their behavior and overall well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems unusual. If requested, I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. Having experience caring for a variety of animals—including dogs, cats, reptiles, horses, and a donkey—I understand that every animal has its own personality and comfort level. Some pets want lots of playtime and affection, while others prefer a calmer approach and space to relax. I adapt my care to what makes each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive reliable, attentive care while their family is away.

“Riley did a great job with my shy grown pup. Riley shared quality feedback and photos with me on how Dakota responded to her, even after meeting her, which was helpful. Dakota is a shy girl, but sometimes warms up quickly. She gets homesick from her mama, but Riley handled it well. She was timely, responsive, and professional.”

About: I have been a full-time puppy whelper for the past 8 years and come highly recommended with lots of references. I welcome all different breeds. I am always home. While I do have to pick up and drop off my children for their various sports and activities, it’s just a five minute drive away.I am always available. Plus, I’m attending school online from the comfort of my home. I live on 1 1/2 acres with a mini horse, two small goats that like to visit the neighbors and two potbelly pigs. Additionally I have two older French bulldogs who are house trained and very friendly, as well as two cane corsos who get along well with all animals including pony,goats, and pigs- they’re all pals! All of my animals are well-behaved , and I’ve often been told I should’ve been a vet or a dog trainer because of my love for animals. I have two separate backyards-one for the smaller dogs and one for the bigger ones. However I’m accustomed to rotating them due to my experience as a whelper. I know how to manage introducing new dogs and keeping them separate if needed.My dogs have access to indoors and outdoors, and they sleep in the house at night. I’ve set up set up my garage to be cozy and welcoming for dogs to stay in at night.

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom of two little ones and a big animal lover. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I have about 10 years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that pets are family members, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Since I’m home most of the day with my kids, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick check-in, or loving company while you’re gone, I’d be happy to help. I’m also looking to earn a little extra income for my family, and there’s no better way to do that than by spending time with furry friends. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Since I’m a stay-at-home mom with my little ones, I have a very flexible schedule and am often available throughout the day. In some cases, my children may come with me for drop-in visits or certain pet care tasks. They are gentle, respectful around animals, and have grown up around pets themselves, so they are very comfortable and calm with them. Our family loves animals, and we always treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care. When caring for pets, I always do my best to follow the routine and preferences discussed with their owner. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I aim to keep their feeding times, walks, playtime, and general care as close to their normal schedule as possible. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Have had a wide variety of animals my whole life! From goats, cats, dogs to even a snake once- you name it. I love them all. I have an Anatolian shepherd & a Siamese cat that are my best friends. I will treat your pets with the same love and respect as I do my own! My availability is usually I’m completely free for walks, drop ins & house sitting Monday-Wednesday and then Thursday-Sunday I work 8:30-4:30 but am able to after. If you have any questions, feel free to message me! :) I am currently very available and will have a flexible schedule going forward. Looking to help out as much as possible with your fur babies! I care for animals like how I do my own. Extra love and attention with respect & confidence. I love learning different animals personalities & will go off of that and their routine set by the owners!

About: I have taken care of pups in multiple different capacities since I was 18. From taking care of older dogs (giving them meds, changing diapers,etc) to watching puppies and helping potty train them. I have always loved dogs, but that love grew so much more when my husband and I got our Corgi-Australian Shepherd pup 3 years ago. I understand the feeling of wanting to make sure your dog is taken care of when you are gone for long hours. If you choose me, I will make sure to not only follow your instructions but make your pup feel loved, so that you can enjoy your day and not be worried. I work part time from home so I do have Mondays and Fridays off. So I’m flexible on those days and then weekend, if I have advance notice. Leave detailed instructions for me so that I can keep your dog/house safe and sound :) The more details the better so I can ensure your happiness with my service.

About: Owner Away? I’ll Sit and Stay. I am willing to take care of your dog at my house or yours and have been an avid lover of our furry friends for as long as I can remember. Besides caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish and gerbils of my own in the past, I have been declared the animal whisperer in my family. I am currently a third-year student studying to create prosthetics for animals at Cal Poly University and volunteer with Guide Dogs for the Blind as well as two other organizations that foster and rehouse animals to their furrrever homes. I would love nothing more than the opportunity to meet with you and your pet to give them the best level of care while you're away and to help you feel confident in trusting to leave your fur baby with me. I am currently taking this quarter off of school to focus on work and so I have quite a bit of free time as my job only requires that I work from home. That being said, whatever availability is required to fit your needs, that is a department I am more than flexible to appease. Ideally, I would like to offer care in the client's home, whether that be pet/house sitting or just walking the dog. In that situation, I would be more than happy to take care of upkeeping the household if need be (i.e. water plants, take out the trash, pick up the mail, etc.) I live in an apartment complex where smaller animals are allowed so depending on the client's case, I can try to accommodate housing arrangements in my home instead.

“Danielle has been the best person I've ever had for Bodhi. She takes the best care of him and talks to him so kindly. I will always hire Danielle when I need someone to take care of my Bodhi💕”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. After receiving my degree in Animal Science, I worked for an animal sanctuary for 6 years where we helped rescue, rehabilitate and care for animals in need. I've also been petsitting for neighbors and friends since I was 12-years-old. Since leaving the animal sanctuary, I’ve found myself really missing caring for animals and would love to help anyone, animals especially, that need assistance. Love playing, walking, and cuddling! Go for a morning walk before work. Take my dog to work with me and take him on a walk at lunch. Or if working from home, go for a walk on our lunch break. Gets fed 3 times a day and many treats! May go to the river or creek after work or on weekends. Dogs are allowed on couch for cuddles. I have a doggy door so dogs can go outside as needed. All doors and windows are closed and locked. The backyard is fenced with nice grassy area to run around. No kids, toys, or sharp objects in house for animals to hurt themselves on.
