Dog Walking Pismo Beach

About: I’ve always loved animals, and I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my life (wishing I could have all the animals!). When I was younger, I would cuddle up with my pets and even read to them. Back in high school, I worked at a local grooming salon, where I bathed dogs and cats. Since then, caring for animals has continued to be something I truly enjoy. I’ve been pet sitting for the past 7 years and have loved getting to know not only the pets, but their owners as well. I’ve also trained my own cat to do all kinds of fun tricks! I deeply understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets and giving them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Starting October 6th 2026 my availability is pretty open. Please take a look at my availability because some days may change or send me a message. My cat has feline herpes and daily I give him oral medication to help calm his outbreak. It's not curable but I try to manage it. I have taken care of pets who need medication 1-3 times a day. I do my best to make pets feel comfortable as much as possible.

“Travis is wonderful - he kindly met me before regular walks started so that I felt comfortable giving him keys & he could meet my dog Charlie. He has been super reliable, takes photos & gives excellent, thorough updates. It’s wonderful to know Charlie is in such good hands. Thank you Travis!”

“I appreciated Bonnie asking if she could stop by to meet Kimba a day before her walk. Kimba instantly loved Bonnie so the pairing was great!”

About: I am passionate about animals and have always loved being around both fluffy feathery and scaly creatures! 🐶I have been taking care of neighbors, families, and friends pets for the past 4 years. I am experienced in taking care of dogs of all sizes from puppies to elderly dogs. I am always super excited to meet any animal and I love them all, from excited puppies to older less energetic pups. I have a great amount of experience in multiple animals including: - Dogs 🐶 - Cats 🐱 - Small Rodents (hamsters, guinea pigs, rats) - Birds of Many Different Species 🐦 - Farm/Large Animals (Cows, Pigs, Horses, Goats, Chickens, etc.)🐔 - Reptiles (Turtles, Tortoises, Chameleons, Bearded Dragons, Snakes, etc.) 🐢🦎 I have had over 2 years of exotic animal care, ranging from spiders, snakes, frogs, chameleons, turtles, birds and just about any feathery or scaly animal you could think of! I can’t wait to meet your pets and hopefully become there new best friend! ❤️ Currently I am an Animal Science student at Cal Poly and am super willing and able to accommodate all of you and your animals needs! I would love to spend as much time as possible with your animals! I will follow all instructions left by owners and can crate dogs, cats and other animals if necessary. When walking your animals, I will carefully walk them and ensure that they are safe at all times. Prior to staying I would love to hear all about your animals behavior and normal daily activities that way they are the most comfortable and happy during my time with your pets! 💗

About: I groomed dogs in 2022 & 2023 and developed genuine deep relationships that will last a lifetime. I truly appreciate each pets characteristics & personality. I’ve enjoyed thoroughly the time I’m blessed with in serving the communities furry friends! I’m available full time right now and am interested in short or extended stays I use the gym for an hour, 3 times a week but flexible there. Ready for new jobs to come my way. I’m always trying to insure pet safety 1st. I ensure they are heard and pay particular attention to changes in behaviors as these are tell tell signs of anxiety etc. Walking to bond and encouraging play is always pertinent . Talking in a loving way where they feel loved and ready to respond is vital to building trust.

About: Dogs are sent from God to make human lives complete. I'm lucky to have 1 well-adjusted one. It's a privilege to spend time around dogs; I treat them with respect and also have expectations for them. The result: a happy pack! (When you're making your dog care choice, please know I prefer dogs who are potty / house trained & treated for flea / tick). Dogs are like my children. They're having fun and learning at the same time. Exercise, water, attention and play time is what makes a good dog! They're a priority when they're with me and no decisions are made without considering how it affects my dog / dogs. I understand each dog is unique; they have their own personality and experiences which make them who they are. That being said, there isn't a "cookie cutter" way to treat a dog. Knowing each one, what they fear or love, what it takes to make them happy is what makes for a good outcome. My ultimate goal is for your dog to leap out of your car when he / she arrives at my home or sees me walk through your door.

About: I have had a pet dog for several years in the past, and I more recently have been connected to households in my hometown neighborhood to provide petsitting care for 7 households so far. Having worked with aging and young dogs, and am able to administer medication and make sure they are nourished and able to exercise. I have also had the pleasure to care for chickens and cats. Additionally, I spent a year developing technician skills in professional pet grooming services in a veterinary setting. My passion for animal care began when I started volunteering with training and socializing cats and dogs at my local animal shelter. Last summer, I worked with baby birds at a wildlife clinic. After finishing school at UC Davis, I am still looking for part time or full time work. I am generally not busy outside the home for necessarily more than 5 hours at a time. I am available all week currently! I would be happy to care for your pet at your home, but am open to the discussion of any alternative arrangements. I am practiced at being a housesitter or dog walker.

About: Hi! I’m a graduate student in Animal Behavior & Welfare working on my thesis in wildlife detection dogs from home. I’ve worked with dogs & cats for 10 years and have trained dogs for 8, including service dogs through a professional nonprofit organization. I have raised countless puppies in this time, so I can certainly help properly socialize your puppy so they can grow up to be the best version of themself. I also compete in dog sports for fun with my dogs, two working line German shepherds and one husky mix. So I’m well equipped to care for dogs that are… “a lot!” I’m on my way to becoming an Applied Animal Behaviorist and have finished all my coursework in behavior with a 4.0 GPA, so when your pets come with me, they’ll benefit from my extensive knowledge on understanding behavior and maximizing welfare. My prices might be a little higher than others, but I promise it will be worth it for the level of care & expertise I provide! I’m home full time as I finish my thesis remotely. The animals I care for come first, whether it be early morning potty breaks or afternoon activities. My schedule is flexible and I have ample time to give your pets the attention they need, while also giving them quiet time to rest in a private space. When pets stay with me, they have their own spare bedroom to sleep in. They can have a crate in there, or stay loose in the room and sleep on the bed. We have a small yard, so I opt to take dogs out 4 times a day to potty in a small park right outside my front door. We can play here too! A lot of dogs like to sunbathe in our yard, including my own. I have three dogs who all have different preferences in their dog friends, so it’s likely your dog will find a best friend here. Or, if your dog prefers not to be around other dogs, that’s no problem either. They can hang out with just me! I always use long lines and either harnesses or safely fitted collars to walk dogs, so they can have maximum freedom to express themselves while also staying safe and comfortable.

About: Hey there! My name is Anna. Whether it’s walks, visits, play, or potty breaks I want to help you make sure your pup is well taken care of! Regardless of age, breed, size, or ability I think dogs deserve the best from the people around them and I’m happy to give that! I currently work part-time and have afternoons and evenings available on weekdays and full availability on weekends. I also have a dog and if your pup is dog friendly she is happy to make new friends! I am not currently set up to care for animals in my home. However, I am comfortable doing so in your home and I am very respectful of others spaces.

“Mariah was great with my dog! She was very attentive to him, sent photos while out walking him, and made me feel really comfortable knowing he was well taken care of!”

About: When i started taking care of my family’s dog, it was high maintenance, but also a very rewarding experience! Being surrounded by cats and dogd brings me great joy in life. I am a student who puts in 15 hours of school every week but I only have two classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings! I am available any other time. I am a very organized and aware person. I feel very comfortable caring for animals in other peoples home. Sometimes all animals need a little extra love.

“Joshuah went above and beyond to take care of our dog. Our dog is reactive and he was open to learn how to navigate those situations. Would book again!”

About: I grew up on a small farm with dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and goats, so I've got a lifetime of experience with all kinds of furry friends. Professionally, I've worked at a couple different dog boarding/daycare/training places before switching to a job that was more fitting to what I went to school for. I’m comfortable with various types of pets in terms of breed, age, temperament, and lifestyle (up-keeping training, giving meds, disabilities, etc). I'm currently working full time but am free most mornings in the week for walks or playtime. I'm free most weekends for overnight pet sitting and am open to extended at homesitting as well. Despite working most of the week, I'm pretty flexible and open to working around different schedules in order to meet the needs of your pets as well as meet the needs of the owner. I'm down to run, play, walk, clean, cuddle, groom, escort, chauffeur or even just chill with your animals, whatever they need. :) If I'm staying in their home, my goals is to maintain their routine, whether that's specific feeding/medication times or upkeeping current training commands. I've taken care of dogs of almost all ages and activity levels so I can adapt to most needs that your pup may have.

About: I have been raised in a multi-pet household for the entirety of my life. With my mom being a French Bulldog breeder, I have a lot of experience with puppies, dog training, dog walking, and basic grooming. I have an equal love for both cats and dogs and would love to watch yours! I am currently working as residential cleaner in the Bitterroot. This is a part time job and leaves with me with time to fit animal care into my schedule. I typically only work mornings and early afternoons, giving me the time to schedule some afternoon/ evening walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. As I am living in an apartment without a fenced yard, I currently am unable to care for pets in my own home. However, I am fully capable of pet sitting at the clients home. I am a responsible, dependable person and I will be able to feed/walk or any other types of care on a set schedule.

About: I have had a dog since I was 8, but I have always been surrounded by various animals. I have taken care of not only my own dog but also those belonging to my family and neighbors, gaining valuable experience in the process. I attended all of my dog's puppy training classes and learned from the trainer how to teach her numerous tricks. Additionally, I have assisted my friends in training their puppies to acquire essential skills and even taught them a few tricks, such as rolling over. Moreover, I volunteered at Animal Assisted Happiness, where I provided care for a variety of animals, including bunnies, goats, chickens, horses, and more. I currently work part-time, which allows me some flexibility to take care of your dogs. My availability includes all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but it may vary from week to week, but I am usually able to accommodate your needs. Feel free to send me a message, and we can work out the details! I enjoy playing with dogs and teaching them new tricks! Taking walks is a favorite activity of mine, and I'll ensure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time and opportunities to explore with long sniffs during our walks. Keeping their hydration in mind, I always make sure the water bowl is filled. Additionally, I prioritize their comfort by providing timely potty breaks and opportunities to go outside as needed.

“I had Cloe walk my pup while I was at work and she did a great job! I looked forward to seeing her rover report card and pictures. I will definitely use Cloe again”
