Dog Walking Ojala

“Kalia has been wonderful for our pup Echo. She is friendly, punctual and had excellent communication while we were away. We recommend her highly!”

About: I've been a pet guardian all of my (long-ish) life and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented — I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I'm currently not working full time, so I have time to help you look after your animals. My dogs (springer spaniels) lived very long and happy lives, and now I have a solo cat at home. I am available to visit your animals in your home, take them for walks, clean up after them and play with them. I can't have overnights at the moment due to my own pet.

About: Hi! I'm Sherrie. I'm the kind of pet sitter who sends photo updates, and may leave your home looking better than when you left. Originally from Hawaii and now based in Ojai, yet travel to you elsewhere is no problem! I've spent years caring for homes, animals, and all the little details that help owners relax while they're away. Dogs and Cats seem to like me. Whether your pet is a couch potato, an adventure buddy, a professional squirrel observer, I'll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. When you're away, I'll provide: • Pet care and companionship • Walks, playtime, and belly rubs (when approved by management) • Medication administration if needed • Home security checks • Regular photo updates My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your trip without worry. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. Looking forward to meeting your furry, feathered family member. I own my own company so normally have nice flexibility. I can do last minute work at times as well. Happy to discuss. Just ask! I will follow your lead on how to care for them on your property. I always like a solid list of information. Email is fine too

About: I worked for a family friend in their home pet sitting business. I fed, administered meds, walked, played and loved on lots of different breeds of dogs. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I have a pretty wide open schedule at the moment. For now I’m leaving it wide open to see if there’s anything I don’t want to work and then can make changes from there, I’m flexible on times and days. I have an enclosed deck and a fenced in yard with grass and gravel. Plenty of room for the dogs to run around and enjoy some sunshine or some shade from our large oak tree.

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I also have been fostering cats and dogs for the past decade. I’ve taken care of animals with disabilities, seniors, and puppies / kittens :) I’m a photographer so my schedule is pretty free. Most days I am at home working on the computer, which makes it easy to spend time with your pups :) I’m a very loving pet sitter. I know basic training and will take them on really fun walks. They will also get all the cuddles!

“Kelsey helped me out in a pinch! Mesa had a wonderful outing and Kelsey sent me lots of pictures and updates! Will be reaching out to Kelsey again in the future.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes daily walks, feeding, and providing attentive companionship. I’m comfortable handling energetic puppies as well as senior pets who need extra patience and care. I focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment so pets feel secure and happy while their owners are away. I am available to care for your pets on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays, Saturday and Sunday all day. Tuesday and Thursday I am available after 5:30pm. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a close eye on behavior, and maintain a routine that matches what your pet is used to. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same care and attention I would give my own.

“Ari is a gem. Great personality, grounded, responsible and kind. Dogs have a sixth sense. When my Sofi ran into the house to greet me after her walk to say I’m back she immediately returned to Ari for some rubs. I knew then I was totally comfortable giving my sweet girl’s care to Ari. Three walks done and many more planned. Thank you, Ari, for making Sofi’s life better. She loves her walks.”

About: With a degree in Animal Sciences and as a veterinary assistant, I’ve worked at rescues, clinics, and volunteered at shelters, providing compassionate care to animals in various environments. Pet care is a key part of my daily routine. I care for my two cats, turtle, and rabbit, ensuring they get proper food, attention, and exercise. In my own home and my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, comfort, and attention to each pet’s individual needs. For cats, I maintain a calm, stress-free environment, ensuring they have plenty of space, food, and litter care. With rabbits and turtles, I make sure their habitats are clean, safe, and have the appropriate temperature and nutrition. I keep a consistent routine for all pets, providing plenty of affection and playtime, while also respecting each pet’s personality and preferences.

“Christina was an amazing Dog Walker! She met with my dog before I left for my trip and learned how to walk her and care for her. she also sent me pictures every day when she was walking my pup. I would definitely hire Christina again to walk my dog! I appreciated her quick responses and updates!”

“Meagan was reliable and gave Sammy good walks helping to give my parents a break from walking him. Will use Meagan again if my parents have another fall or need help with Sammy. Thx”

“Milana was punctual and sweet and did a great job with our pup Rosslyn who can be a bit nervous on walks with new people. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I have taken care of animals for most of my life from reptiles to bunnies. I have a special bond with dogs because they are truly a mans best friend. Having a healthy dog ensures that they have a happy life :) Pet care fits into my weekly routine easily and it helps both them and myself get exercise as well as getting to know a cute little creature and their personality. I treat other peoples pets with respect, empathy, and kindness. Everyone is different and that also includes pets. Things happen you just have to have the right mindset and you will overcome any obstacle like the dogs need to bark at the dog across the street.

About: I’ve helped rescue two dogs so far within these past few years. Animals have really brightened up my life. I love caring for pets any size and age. My old co workers would call me the doggy whisperer because I liked talking to the dogs that would come in with their owners and the dogs seem to take a liking to me. I’m not sure why dogs gravitate to me. I think it has to do with how much I appreciate all the love they have to give. They truly are little fury blessings. I am grateful to come in to contact with pets. I enjoy making them smile from ear to ear. With great responsibility, there also comes great rewards with having pets. I’m here to help anybody in need of a dog/house sitter! My availability is currently open anytime Monday through Sunday, day or night! I also am available for holidays and all summer long if you need me. I am currently only open to house sitting inside your home or pet sitting in your home. Temporarily in a transition of moving so, my place currently isn’t available for dog boarding.

About: We had two corgis who lived long full lives walking them out at River Park or around our old Lompoc neighborhood was always special. I believe in keeping dogs close and nurturing them with positive reinforcement. I am training for half marathons again. Our dogs were my best running buddies. I like having a pet temporarily. I work as a realtor so I am in charge of my schedule. Taking and sending photos of your dogs' stays in progress is fun. I am very responsible. Our girl corgi was a 5 week old puppy when we got her. After we adopted the boy at 2 years old he was a 4H dog that we trained and learned to train for showing. Taking care of my BFF's cat and dog while she traveled for five to seven days in a few occasions was a special experience. Providing hospitality to pets in their home is my pleasure. Looking forward to seeing you and meeting and spending time with your pet Currently the only scheduled obligation I have is an environmental horticulture class at sbcc on Thursdays ends 05/25. Taking golf this summer. Looking forward to meeting new dogs in their homes. Taking care of dogs in their own home is a seamless way for your dog to feel secure and well taken care of with minimal changes for your dog to adjust to.

About: I've been a pet-owner since I became an adult, also growing up with pets as a child. My first pet as an adult was my cat, Carpet, who I acquired in the aftermath of the 1994 earthquake. Carpet lived with me for 20 years. During that time my cat, Rocky (aka Rocky Raccoon), joined us as a kitten. And when my neighbors’ dog Roxy needed a home due to her adoptive dad's ill health, I took her in. I adopted Roxy, my Staffordshire Terrier, when she was about 5 years old. I took great initiative to make sure she and the cats got along. Carpet, being older, liked her own space, but after she passed, Roxy and Rocky became forever friends (much like Warner Brothers' Tom & Jerry)! Both Rocky and I were devastated when we lost Roxy in the summer of 2018 at 14 years old. Roxy had struggled with many health issues and had been losing the use of her hind legs for a couple of years prior to that dreaded day. Taking care of Roxy taught me patience and a strong will to match her own. I learned how to care for an invalid and still make her smile. I know the expectations of senior dog care. I know it's hard to leave your senior dog, or any dog, in the care of a new person, but I can assure you that your dog will receive love and attention tailored to his or her needs. For active dogs, we can take a stroll to the jetty or a walk along the beach...all steps from my home.... or play ball in the park or a nearby field...or my back yard which has a nice run! On July 7, 2025, my dear cat Rocky passed away at the age of 20 from Chronic Kidney Disease. I took very meticulous care of her after her diagnosis to help her live her best life while managing the disease. When she was gone, it was the first time in my adult life that I lived in a home without a pet. I have not been ready to get another pet of my own, but I so miss having them around. That’s why I have opened up my home and offered my services to other pet owners. I know how hard it is to find the right fit and a person you can trust. I hope to be the kind of sitter I would have wanted for my own pets. I would love to have the company of your companion while you are away and provide them with a nice vacation home. *Please note: i am happy to travel further for House Sitting bookings or have your pet come to me. For Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking, I serve my local areas only in order to keep my prices low. Feel free to message me with any question. Thank you! I have used Rover sitting services in the past. Recently, I began working from home, so I am now offering my services as a sitter now that I can be available for the most part of the day and nights. Some days do require meetings or errands so in the event that comes up, we can discuss in advance how to handle. I can also bring your dog for a ride-along in these cases if possible and if they do well in cars. I live next to the beach and would love to take your pooch for a stroll or play some ball or even a swim if mom and dad allow it. I would be happy to day-sit for those working long hours and/or find some regular clients so I can build a relationship with your pet(s). I will strictly follow all rules given to me by pooch parents, as I know both pets and people have their quirks! I am open to watching more than one dog from the same home. I will never have another clients pets in my home when yours are booked to stay, unless and in case of an emergency and where I have your approval. Your pet(s) will have my undivided attention. I am the only human in my househould. On occasion, I will have a visitor. I have a doggy door in the house and dog beds for your dogs use, although, I may allow them up on the couch or in the bed with me if that's what they are allowed to do at home. I have tennis balls and chuck-its for playing, as well as some toys, but best of all, the beach is only one short block away! We can take a nice long walk on the sidewalks or on the beach. My home has faux wood flooring (more of a tile laminate) and an area carpet. I have a nice cement back yard about 12 by 80 feet long where your dog and I can play and/or sun bathe. Your pet would be by my side and taken for outings if they are up to it. If they are not up for outings, they will have access to a doggy door 24/7. For cat parents, I also have cat beds and kitty toys as well as a place to set your baby's own litter box so they can have the smells of their own home! (Due to owner's allergies, some litter products may need to be swapped. Most clumping litters are okay.)

About: All of my experience with animals has been personal and I love it so much. I grew up with animals in the house from cats to dogs then to having both. I currently have one cat of my own and my mom has 3 dogs that I look after as well. I’m a little different than anybody else in that I will make sure your pet has an amazing time while you’re away. They won’t even notice you’re gone. I won’t just take them potty and then sit on the couch, I love to play and entertain any animal! What many don’t know is that while a pets life may seem shorter than humans, its their entire life and they’re living it with us. So it’s my job to make sure I do all I can to keep your pets happy and healthy! I’m currently doing this full-time so my schedule works around you and your pets! Pets have been part of my daily routine my entire life. I make sure I listen to everything the owner says and be sure their pet has an amazing time. Most importantly that the pet doesn’t even realize you’re gone.

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.
