Dog Walking Los Osos

“Marlena is great with my dogs. Reliable, consistent and kind”

About: Looking for opportunities to walk and play with dogs and to be ignored by cats. All will get tender care. Senior care, adult, puppy/kitten attention. To provide care consistent with what you want for your beloved companions My schedule is flexible and can accommodate planned and short notice pet/companion care visits. Your companions will have my full attention with visits and walks. My two beloved cats are indoor only. Love being brushed and to play with their toys. My dogs were always secured in a fenced yard and monitored while outside. Walks, fetch, floor play with their toys. Lots of love for all just hanging out with them.

About: I’ve always been known as that person who animals just tend to trust. I’ve been told on many occasions how certain animals don’t like people but for whatever reason they give me a chance and I love when I get to show them love and prove that their fur babies made the right choice trusting me. Even when I was a baby I used surround myself with all sorts of animals because I love all of them so much. I hope to have the opportunity to give all the love I can to all the animals willing to give me a chance. I do take night classes Monday- Thursday typically anywhere from about 5-9 and I work days that I don’t have school. I’m very flexible but Monday-Thursdays are usually best for walks and drop ins. From how I’ve been described by others, I’m a very friendly, trusting, and loving person and everyone and their pets can expect that from me as well. As far as other peoples houses and everything I like to leave things the way I found it or better.

“Kayla is kind, gentle, patient, and punctual! She is very good with our dog Aspen and has reliably house sat for us as well as walked our dog. I highly recommend her!”

“Cara is awesome! My dog is very slow to warm up to new people but he got comfortable with her super fast. She’s his new best buddy. She’s quick to respond and excellent with communicating. Would totally recommend her!”

About: I’ve been around and caring for animals for over 20 years, and caring for pets has always been something that comes naturally to me. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from playful puppies and energetic dogs to independent and more laid-back pets. I currently have pets of my own, so I understand how much trust goes into leaving your furry family member with someone else. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I work a flexible remote schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. I’ll communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve rather than simply being left alone. I have a clean, comfortable home with two friendly cats, and while my yard is not fenced, I’m always happy to take dogs on walks for exercise and enrichment. I take safety seriously and would never leave a pet unattended outside. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routines, including leash walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Forest has great communication, was easy to book with, and followed all my instructions for walking our small dog Jasmine! Will be booking again in the future and would recommend Forest to a friend. :)”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, and have always been a big dog lover of all shapes, sizes, and breeds! I frequently pet-sit for my friends and family, including exuberant young puppies, gentle older dogs, cautious reactive dogs, and anything in between. I love to play with and walk dogs at their own pace and preference, and am happy to help support and reinforce your training plans and pet rules. I have been an elementary teacher for just over a decade and am taking some time off, so my schedule is very flexible, and I would love to fill it with helping care for dogs in our community! I know it can be hard to leave pets at home for work or social events, but rest assured that with me your pet is in loving and safe hands so you can work, play, and enjoy life without worrying about your furry friend. After teaching for over a decade, I am taking some time off and would love to fill it with caring for pets to help others in my community! I have a very flexible schedule and am available to visit, walk, and care for pets on weekdays between 8 and 6. I can also be available on weekends with prior arrangement. I grew up with dogs and pet-sit often for my friends and family. I have a fenced-in yard and live in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood. I am also a close driving distance to many parks, including the Laguna Lake dog park. I am happy to drive within the Central Coast area to visit, play with, and walk your beloved pup as well!

About: Our family members have been animal lovers our whole lives and have had a number of dogs and cats over our lifetime. Before kids we had 5 years of pet and house-sitting experience. Based on word of mouth from friends and acquaintances. We provide a nurturing environment where your pets feel like part of our family. As parents of three kids, we involve our children in daily pet care routines, teaching them responsibility, respect and compassion. This hands-on approach ensures your pets receive personalized attention and affection.​ We understand that each pet has unique needs. Whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or providing extra playtime, we customize our services to ensure your pet's comfort and well-being.​ We believe in keeping you informed and are happy to provide updates and photos of your pets during our visits, so you can rest easy knowing they're in good hands.​ We are deeply connected to our local community. Our services are designed to support families and pet owners in our area, fostering a sense of trust and familiarity. Our kids are in a hybrid homeschool program my husband works a remote job from home and I am a full time mom so we are in and out several times a day but rarely gone more than 30-60 mins at a time. Which means we are available for pet care at regular intervals majority of the day 7 days a week. We live on a one acre property set back from the road and fenced around the sides and back. We do have a gate that we put across the driveway at night to keep the deer out of the fruit orchard so we have the possibility of fencing the whole property by putting the deer gate up in the day. We have a separate fenced back yard off of our deck with dog door access from the living room of the house. We have 2 cats that have their own space in the garage with in and out access. And we have a 30 lb 16 year old dog named Ninja he is mellow and sweet and sleeps most of the day.

“Kim does such a great job with our high energy reactive dog. He always comes back so stoked! She is easy to work with and reliable. Our go to walker.”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playing, providing companionship, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, so I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family. I’m attentive to their routines, respectful of their individual needs, and always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, relaxing on the couch, or simply having someone around, I’m happy to give them the care and companionship they need. I work on call whenever I want so I am extremely flexible to your needs. Just let me know what you need and I will do my very best. I live right next to a dog park and love being outdoors all day for your dog to feel free and get as much fresh air as possible.

About: I’ve handled dogs and cats all my life and I can say with certainty that I bring comfort peace and joy to all animals I’ve interacted with. I love older dogs and cats as much as younger ones and I don’t mind putting in extra work to those that need my help a little more than others. I have a few classes through the week but I can definitely work around my schedule to ensure your babies get the love and care they need. We can also talk about a set schedule to best accommodate you and your pets. I care for my pets and others by making them feel comfortable in their own environment. I can bring a calming presence to any anxious fur baby and make sure they are happy and well cared for.

“Gabrielle is the best! She is so loving and sweet with my dog, and very accommodating. I instantly had total faith in her.”

“Wonderful always!”

About: I am a college student looking to spend some time with some pets since I grew up having them. I go on walks every day in my free time and would love to have a companion that needs to get outside too! I have had a collection of jobs including working with children, the elderly, young people with disabilities, and of course, pet sitting and dog walking. All of this makes me a responsible and respectful person that is a great fit for taking care of your pet! Currently a college student that can walk in the mornings before class everyday. Primarily I would love to walk or house sit Fridays through Mondays. I am a cat owner now and grew up with a lot of dogs. I am an avid hiker and love long walks. My job growing up was always taking the dogs for long walks until they were tuckered out.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets with different needs—from energetic puppies to older dogs needing gentle walks or medication. I’m attentive, calm, and detail-oriented, making sure every pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. You can count on me for reliable communication and genuine care every time. I'm currently working a part time job and available anytime after 4pm on Sundays and anytime before 4pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and free the rest of the week and very flexible on any time you need. My own two dogs, two decently sized border collies, one very energetic, one lazy, who have a whole backyard to themselves along with a kennel in the garage connected by a doggy door to the backyard! I feed them two times a day and walk them at least once a day, and constantly check their water bowls.

“Elly, was great with our dog Juno. She came to meet her and walk her per scheduled. Her communication skills are wonderful and she is truly passionate about her work. I felt very confident about her abilities and had no worries. I would recommend giving Elly a try.”

About: I have 6 years of experience in the veterinary field and have been pet sitting for more than 10 years. I am available for walks, quick 30 or 60-minute drops ins and the occasional overnight stay at your home. I am able to give oral and/or injectable medications, feed, provide light grooming, walk and/or run with your pet, and most importantly give them all of the love and affection they need! Im currently unemployed from the corporate world so I have plenty of time to walk/watch your pets. I currently do not have any pets so I am always excited for opportunities to incorporate them into my life. Since I mostly only do walks and check ins, I always make sure that safety of your pet is a top priority. Will always check for details about what leashes to use, where to walk, where to avoid, etc. will never let dogs interact with others unless given the ok from owner. Will always respect strict diets, commands, etc when given the information.
