Dog Walkers in Montecito, CA

“I’m so happy we met Cheryl! I’ve never hired a dog walker before, and Stanley is used to getting really good exercise each day, and I don’t expect most people to give him as much as we do. She did and I appreciated it so much! She communicated well and loved my sweet dog, so I give her high marks and will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of not just my own Animlas but others, for a couple years! Animals are genuine sweet creatures and I love to meet new animals!

Honestly whatever is needed I can most likely do! I hope to meet your sweet babies.

About: Hello! We are a family of 4 (our girl is 8 and our boy is 12) that loves dogs!! We also have allergies so only hypoallergenic dogs please if you are booking for boarding or day care. We have one dog, and Aussie doodle, that is very social and loves having friends over! :) Dogs must be good with children, other dogs and have good manners. :) We have a nice big fenced yard for lots of outdoor play, a great neighborhood for walks, and we are also very close to the beach and mountains if you have an active dog that likes to get out and about. We can’t wait to love your sweet dog as our own and shower it with love and attention! We have flexible working-from-home schedules. Our kids are in a school schedule with extra time in mornings, evenings and weekends. We would love to welcome your dog as our own! We have a fenced yard. As long as the dog is hypoallergenic, we can have the dog in our home. We love snuggling and playing!

About: Over 35 years of animal care experience with a lot of extra time on my hands post retirement. I would love to share that time with your fur babies!! I am a recently retired government employee of 27 years. I have three dogs and two cats of my own, including one special needs cat that is 15 years old. I live in Santa Barbara, but can travel and would love to care for your fur babies!! I will treat your babies and your home like they are my own! There is a risk of them potentially getting too much love as we are huge animal lovers in this house!!

About: In recent years, I have built a strong trustworthy reputation via more than 80 (yep, eighty) 5-star reviews on a leading house/pet care platform. Photos of some were in here, but the system removed them. Happy to share that information with you when we are in contact. Most sits span several weeks, with a 4-week minimum being easiest on the schedule. I do tend to book in advance. Because I have cared for senior pets (several being older than 15: both dogs and cats, some sight or hearing or limb-disabled), administered meds which also includes insulin shots, and managed various sizes and breeds, pet parents and high end homeowners appreciate this reliability and standard. In some cases, we have only Zoomed before a sit, and never met in-person. Due to great reciprocal communication, the results were wonderful. I offer experience both house & pet-sitting, and am a former (& future) homeowner. I’ve had all kinds of pets throughout my entire life. In adulthood, a Lhasa Apso was my co-pilot for 13 years, and I will have others. For now, I enjoy supporting and caring for yours. Let’s Zoom and take it from there. Looking forward. We will discuss this. Historically (for more than 20 years), I have been able to work from anywhere. We can talk through the options together. Unless you hire me for an overnight sit, I will be coming to them for drop-in or other care. I will not be bringing your pet(s) to my location.

About: I have had dogs my entire life since I was a little boy. Last year my wife and I rescued an 8 week old who is very good with all dogs. I work from home with a fenced in yard. I usually take my dog on walks in either the morning/afternoon around my neighborhood, then again off leash somewhere around town every single day around 4pm-6pm. So, your pup will have lots of free time outside and around the house and get a great workout or two in! I have a fenced in yard and I work from home! I can watch them all day and with work flexibility can take them on lots of walks.

“Cheryl did a great job of caring for and exercising our 4 year old lab from our Montecito Airbnb. Carley instantly liked her and was nice and tired when we returned. Cheryl was an excellent communicator and working with her was a breeze. Carley seemed quite pleased as well. I highly recommend her.”

“We are so grateful that we found Monika on Rover. She is a wonderful person and was great with our dogs; they love her! Monika was clear and straightforward in her communication and punctual. Since we had not met in person before, it was very important to me that she arrive on time so that we could have a human meet-and-greet! I recommend Monika without hesitation.”

About: We've owned and loved our cockapoo until the end at 13 yo and we cared for her deeply. After she passed the house was so empty that we started fostering dogs. The first dog we got gave birth 4 hours after she arrived at our place and it was magical. We've also fostered a lot of kittens , baby rabbits and a guinea pig and we respect all animals and want to make them feel loved and secure We are a family with 4 kids (ages 8-15) that have grown up with taking care and respecting animals I am a local realtor and think the dog would be home alone max 2 hours a day We have a fenced in backyard that they always have access to. The front is not completely fenced in so they can only go in the front when they have their leash

About: Pets have been in my life ever since I was born. I’ve taken care of dogs from the ages of 8 weeks to 15 years old. My first dog had a variety of health issues, and I learned at a young age how to give insulin, manage medications, strict feeding schedules, and so on. In the past 4 years I’ve raised 2 puppies — now grown 70 lb+ standard poodles. One had to undergo hip replacement surgery at just one year old, and I took care of him everyday when he had to be crated and on trazodone for months. I know the importance of letting dogs get their energy out in a safe environment. I also adore cats, and have had 2 lovely orange tabbies to look after as well. I’m currently a full-time student, with open weekends and flexible weekdays too. I can fit a drop-in or walk almost every day of the week, and am available for all other additional services on the weekend as well. I will leave your home just as I found it — and with a well-fed, calm, happy pup or cat for you to come home to.
