Dog Walkers in Ojala, CA

About: I grew up with dogs and have long term fostered 4 of my own. 2 of which were puppies that I trained, and 1 being a senior dog. My experience with different age ranges has helped me understand the needs of pups at different stages of life. I absolutely love dogs and I am so excited to meet yours. I work part time in the evenings. You can find me during the day on the trail already so I’d love to have your fur babies accompany me! I’m privy to the needs of older or super energetic pups and can confidently say that when they are leashed up with me we will have a safe and great time.

About: Need someone to care for your fur baby? I’m your person! Certified in giving love, belly rubs, and compliments like “who’s the best dog ever?” (spoiler alert, it’s yours). I’ve spent over eight years working hands-on with animals, from volunteering at humane societies and rescues to caring for pets in boarding, daycare, and grooming. I may be a retired groomer, but my soft spot for clean paws and wagging tails is forever. Whether your pup is shy, sassy, or a total goofball, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely adored. Animals have always been my world, and I truly believe nothing beats that tail-wagging, pure-love greeting when you walk through the door. I’ll treat your pets like family, the kind of family that gets spoiled and praised all day long. Pet care fits into my day the same way coffee does… it’s a must! I love starting and ending my days with wagging tails, happy paws, and a few goofy zoomies. My schedule’s flexible, so I plan everything around walks, meals, cuddles, and playtime. Basically, if your pet’s happy, my day’s already a win. Keeping your pets happy and safe is my full-time mission. I follow all your instructions like a pro, from meals to walks to any special care your furry friends need. I bring plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and unsolicited affirmations so your pets feel loved, spoiled, and totally in charge while you’re away. Basically, I make sure they have the best day ever, every day.

About: Animals are my passion. I cared for my beloved Parson Russell Terrier, Milo, from 2000 to 2015, and he’s the reason I fell in love with caring for all animals. That love led me to volunteer at the Berkeley Humane Society as a cat companion in 2014, and later at the Santa Cruz SPCA as a dog walker from 2024 to 2025. I’ve also transported rescued animals—most memorably a German Shepherd from NYC to his forever home in Florida—and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets for many years. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m fully committed to providing exceptional, reliable, and compassionate care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, your pet will be treated like family. I follow your pet’s established routine—feeding, walking, medication, and comfort—and during extended stays, I’m happy to water plants, collect mail, and keep your home tidy. My mission is simple: to care for your pets with genuine love, respect, and dependability. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for you and your pet. My background in customer service has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every pet care visit. I provide reliable, compassionate care that keeps your pet comfortable and secure in their own home. I follow their regular routine, prioritize safety, and care for them with the same attention and love I would give my own pets.

About: A lifelong animal lover with a passion for creating nurturing, safe, and joy-filled experiences for your furry companions. With a background in holistic wellness, conscious event facilitation, child support work, home and plant stewardship, and executive assisting, I bring a high level of attunement, reliability, and heart to all my pet-sitting adventures. Whether tending to a cozy home or spending quality time with your pet, I show up with presence, warmth, playfulness, and genuine love. I’ve always been drawn to animals for their unconditional love and vibrant spirits, and I make it my mission to ensure they feel just as seen, loved, and secure when you’re away. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds and energy levels—from energetic pups who need long walks to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. My intuitive, calm approach helps create a grounded and trusting environment. I also know how to adapt and attune to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s a midday walk to shake off some zoomies or a calming, sound-bath-like experience for an anxious pet, I tailor my care accordingly. Safety and communication are always a priority—you’ll receive heartfelt updates and thoughtful check-ins along the way. Rest assured, your beloved pets will be treated like family. I’m genuinely excited to meet your furry loved ones and share some sweet, soul-nourishing adventures together. I also offer experienced house-sitting and plant care services, so if you’re ever in need of in-home support, I’d be happy to help. I balance my schedule to make sure pets get the attention and care they need. Whether it’s morning walks or evening cuddles, I prioritize their routines while still having flexibility in my day. Caring for animals is a rewarding part of my week, and I love making it a special experience for them. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy, fun environment where they feel safe and loved. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything running smoothly, following feeding schedules, playing, or snuggling as needed. I ensure every pet feels comfortable and at ease, making them my top priority.

About: A personal tragedy brought me into the world of dog walking/sitting in NYC years ago and it has consequently brought much healing and peace into my life, along with the chance to meet amazing people and their beloved pets. It's been an eye-opening experience and I'm grateful for all the opportunities owners have given me to care for their beloved animals, so that they can tend to their loved ones and other parts of their lives. I've taken care of dogs and cats in NYC, Spain, Boulder and California and excited to continue this journey! I'm working from home (WFH) on an East Coast schedule, so I'm up early and available daily and weekly, depending on the needs of the client. Adaptable, attentive, and friendly, I can ensure that the animals are comfortable in their own setting and adhere to the routines of their owners as they see fit. I am reliable, punctual and respectful of the owner's homes and spaces.

About: My animals are a part of the family. I currently have a 2 yr old Bernedoodle named Darla & a 6 yr old Pomeranian named Tina. I volunteer at the local animal shelter, I am an animal rights advocate & charity supporter. I believe in a healthy, fun life & its your dogs right to live that amazing too! i look forward to meeting your dog! I work from home while i am watching your dog. I pay attention, provide care & have a home that dogs love! I have created a safe, clean, fun, attentive environment. I have a private fenced yard, that i have double'd the safety of with chicken wire. The dogs have indoor/ outdoor freedoms. I can walk your dog if requested, i play with them in the yard to see they get daily exercise.

About: ​"I bring a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by a commitment to reliability and safety. I don't just 'watch' your pet—I curate their day. Whether it's a high-energy park adventure or a consistent, disciplined walking routine, I prioritize your pet's specific temperament and needs. ​I treat every booking as a professional contract: you can count on punctuality, clear communication, and photo updates that give you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I approach every interaction with the professionalism you expect from a dedicated care expert." ​Because pet care isn't one-size-fits-all, I maintain a highly flexible schedule to accommodate your routine. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday feeding and play segments, or dedicated evening companionship, I structure my days around making sure your pets stay on their preferred timelines. I am available for both weekday and weekend bookings, ensuring consistent, reliable care so your fur babies never miss a beat while you're away. I prioritize a secure and attentive environment for every dog I care for. While I don't have a yard at my home, I am an extremely active person and live near several wonderful local dog parks and scenic trails. I love taking my visitors on frequent outdoor adventures and long walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is a clean, organized, and stress-free space where your pet will be treated like family and given my full, undivided attention.

About: I have raised, trained, and loved my own dogs my whole life. I have had long-term experience with senior dogs, rescues with ptsd, and puppies! I will love your babies as if they were my own. I am available to walk, drop in, and sit Thursdays through Sundays. I am a full time student. I was a waitress for 2+ years. I want to help your babies be taken care of while you’re busy paying for their treats. I am super easy going yet extremely reliable. I solve problems efficiently. Most importantly, your dogs’ safety is my top priority. I am experienced with dogs who have special needs.

About: As a loving pet owner myself, I understand the importantance of finding a caretaker that you trust. I will love your pets as I do my own. I will make sure your pets are happy and cared for regardless of breed, size or age. You will have peace of mind knowing I am caring for your beloved pets while you are away. I have pets that have to be cared for in a specific manner, so I understand the importance of following instructions to be sure your pets are safe. I do not work outside the home. My time is not limited or scheduled. My girls are home schooled so we have no other commitments than to be sure your pets are cared for. I am able to come to your home as a drop in, or stay in your home while you are away. I do not board in my home due to aggressive pets of my own.

“Emily was great! We came to ojai for a wedding and Emily came to our hotel to take our dog out. We would definitely use Emily again if we came to ojai.”
