Dog Walking Montecito Heights

About: I'm fortunate to have cared for animals since childhood and find true joy in treating others pets as my own. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on my consistency, responsibility and compassion when they need someone to look after their babies. I am very comfortable with multiple animals, senior care and challenging personalities. I am able to remain calm in chaos and understand the importance of communication. My three-year old German Shepherd mix, Pharaoh, keeps me on my toes and engaged with the latest in pet parent world! Currently in between jobs which allows me to be flexible depending on the needs of the client and their pets. While I do have my own boy dog, Pharaoh, our routine can be adjusted without issue. I will follow the exact instructions needed and am very communicative in terms of sending photos, videos and ensuring there are no disruptions to a pets routine. I have a deep understanding of how important consistency is to building trust with an animal and will do everything required to make sure both the client and their baby feel safe and at peace.

“Jana was awesome helping to walk Fela while I was gone. She communicated on arrival and departure and even sent pics from their time together. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I can remember growing up I had boxer, pit bull terrier mix, and border collie retriever mix. I can provide a safe and loving environment for all of your fur baby's needs. From pet sitting to short or long walks i’ve got experience with it all. I’m currently a full time student but have the flexibility of being completely online. I’m available mostly anytime for services throughout the week. Please message me to double check my availability before booking. I'd love to take care of your fur babies how ever you need. Making sure they are in a safe & loving environment is my top priority.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages before, from terriers to Scotch collies. These dogs have ranged in age as well, with some being as young as 1-3 and the oldest being 15. I make sure to communicate frequently to ensure pets receive thoughtful and fun care that is also respectful of their boundaries. I’m a teacher and currently on summer break, so my time for pet care is pretty open and prioritized right now! Rover is my primary focus at the moment, so let’s chat about some care for your pet! Whenever in a new environment, I make sure to inspect all possible exits or potential areas for danger or risk for pets. Additionally, respecting your home and your boundaries is a top priority of mine! I don’t use things unless I’ve asked about them and will communicate if a situation ever arises. I don’t have boarding as an option at the moment, but if that ever changes, pet safety and comfort is always a priority!

“Maggie and Kah are amazing! I really appreciate them taking good care of Kimchi, communicating really well, and being super reliable! Thank you so much for all you do for us busy pet owners. Highly recommended!!”

About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by dogs. From growing up with 3 of them to taking care of my sisters when she got her own I’ve always loved doing it. I’m a huge animal lover, patient and excited to help take care of furry friends! Right now my schedules very free and I couldn’t imagine a better way to fill it than spending it with animals. I love to travel and drive and meet new people, animals or just try new things! I’ve always been a very sensitive and caring pet carer who turns to the owner first with questions. I don’t take how a pet is raised into my own hands but I make sure to provide them with a lot of care.

“My fear reactive senior chi-terrier mix met Lori (out of the house) and was like, oh hi, like they'd known each other for years. And when we returned to the house my year old maltipoo who usually barks at everyone was also like, oh hi. Will this always be the case everytime with every dog or even everytime with my dogs - I cannot guarantee that - but I attributed this first calm meet and great behavior to Lori's kind, calm, dog-lover vibe. :)”

About: Probably my biggest flex as a person is that ALL animals LOVE me. I always feel so blessed and honored that animals receive me so warmly and readily. I have taken care of a wide array of animals! From fish, to cockatiels, cats, dogs, and a few reptiles!! I loveeeee all animals and have a biology degree that's afforded me so great knowledge on the veterinary realm! I work remotely so I'm available for a house sitting / checks in's and walks, whenever! Just schedule with me with enough time so we can coordinate and I'm sure we can make it work! I'm very privy to following whatever instructions you may have for your pet! Outline whatever needs to be done for your little angel and i'll be sure to follow it! I understand each animal has different needs, so please feel free to detail them to me

“Steven was above and beyond with my big dog Wallace. He took to time to check in with me in advance to learn a little of his background, and left my dog cared for, energized, and happy. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I grew up around animals, caring for a pet is second nature to me. I”m experienced with large high energy dogs as well as slower paced seniors and small breeds.I am very patient, loving and responsible. Comfort and safety are my top priorities. Im free evenings and weekends and this is the perfect way to make a little extra in my free time. I would love to meet and work with different breeds :) Strictly follow feeding schedule and diet restrictions, pay attention to details provided either written or verbal. Report that everything went smoothly and indicate any mishaps. Respectful of your home making sure to leave everything as it was :)

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets. I'm comfortable with daily pet care responsibilities, including feeding, cleaning up after pets, maintaining a safe and sanitary environment, administering oral medications and flea treatments, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets and situations. I've even assisted pregnant dogs and cats during labor and birth, which has taught me to stay calm, attentive, and responsive when animals need extra care. I'm also always eager to learn and expand my experience with other types of animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving pet owners peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and ensure pets receive the attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate a variety of care needs, including walks, and drop-in visits. I'm also available on weekends, making it easier to provide care when many pet owners need it most. I do my best to work with each pet owner's schedule and provide reliable, consistent care. At this time, I am unable to host pets in my apartment, but I have experience caring for friends' and family members' pets in their own homes. When caring for pets, I make it a priority to maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and feel secure. I carefully follow each pet owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and daily routines to help pets feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive attentive care, companionship, and a safe environment at all times.

“We just started working with Daniel and we are so happy to have connected with them! They are so kind, accommodating and excellent with communicating! My puppy was so excited to see them again! 🙌🏽✨”

About: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I spend most of my time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every cat has different needs and routines, and I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while they're in my care. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where cats can feel comfortable and secure. My home is pet-friendly, and I take care to keep doors and windows secure and remove potential hazards. I have experience caring for my own cat and understand the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and giving pets the patience and attention they need. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are well cared for.

About: Priscilla has helped raise and care for over 7 dogs growing up. She cares for different breeds from small to large dogs. Neighbbors, friends and family rely on her to walk their pets and even drop them off/pick them up from grooming appointments. She ensures her own pets feel safe, happy, and loved and will do the same for yours! I am available on weekends with advance notice. I work from home Monday-Friday and am free to make house calls if there is accessible WiFi. I have a fenced front and back yard with ample space. There are a total of 9 pets on my property and I cannot provide boarding services. Sorry.

“Toya is responsive and flexible. I booked her to walk my 2 dogs and entered the wrong date. She was accommodating and worked with me to get everything sorted. I really appreciated her offer to do a meet and greet with me before walking them. She gets a ????? review!”

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and have been caring for pets since I was a young child. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. I'm patient, attentive, and truly enjoy building bonds with every pet I care for. Your fur baby's happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priorities. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet. As a dog mom myself, pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, daycare, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the routine and instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I use secure leashes and harnesses during walks and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of pet sitting for friends and family for the past 15years. I was fortune enough to be raised around animals & now take the time to care for them. I have experience with giving medications, senior & disabled pets. I look forward to hearing from you! Pet sitting has always been a constant and now my schedule allowed for more time to dedicate to pet care. It’s a pleasure to be able to do many things, but pet sitting it my favorite. When I care for pets I find it best to stick to their schedule. As well as giving them the time & care to get comfortable with me.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was about 10. I grew up in the country, so being around animals and helping take care of them was just a normal part of growing up. I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out and giving them lots of attention. I have my own little pup now, who is very much my baby, so I completely understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you’re leaving your dog with. I’ll treat your pup like I’d want someone to treat mine—with lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their lead, whether they want to get out and explore, take a slow walk around the neighborhood, or just curl up on the couch and relax. I work in the film industry, so my schedule varies throughout the year. During breaks between productions, I have plenty of flexibility and availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. When I’m on a project, I keep my calendar updated so you always know my availability in advance. Whether you need a last-minute walk or consistent care while I’m between projects, I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable, loving care for your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and live near a great hiking trail for dogs who enjoy getting outside. I also have a friendly 1½-year-old Dachshund who loves making new friends and happily plays with dogs both big and small. I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep your pup’s routine consistent, and send plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
