Dog Walking Portar Ranch

“Highly recommended! Lexy took great care of our loved pet. She’s not only patient, but also kind. Received detailed photos and notes for each walk, so as the parents, we know what happened and we feel safe in mind even we are far from our pet. Will definitely ask Lexy for another favor if we needed in the future!”

“Janelle did great with Sherman on his walk. There was some trouble with the front door entry, but her communication was fast ,so we were able to resolve that situation quickly. I would hire her again for future services!”

About: I’ve pet sat animals since I was 11, taking care of friends and family. I have the most experience in smaller to medium dogs, but I’ve taken brief care of a few larger dogs before. I’ve looked after a couple puppies and I can handle them, but don’t have tons of experience if that’s a need for you. I’m in the Animal Care and Training Program at Moorpark College so I am fairly adept at handling animal behavior. I am also first aid certified in the case of emergencies. I am currently on summer break and have a very flexible schedule, able to fit most client’s needs. I can drop by any time and can give your pets the attention and care they need. Once I start my fall semester my schedule will be updated and may have less flexibility. I will spend time and watch over them wherever their preferred environment is, whether it be inside or outside, I have no trouble sitting outside with your pets who love to sniff around. They can be walked as often as suggested and will be given ample potty breaks if pet sat inside.

“Good job.”

“I can’t recommend Julia enough - she walked my two dogs, followed all my care instructions and sent me detailed pics, videos and descriptions about her time with them. Her communication is amazing! I’m an instant repeat client!”

About: Hi there! My wife and I are lifelong pet lovers-we both grew up in homes filled with animals and couldn't imagine life without them. For us, pets are true family members, and we care for every dog we host as if they were our own. I work part-time, and my wife is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so one (or both) of us is always home to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and playtime throughout the day. We're available any day of the week, and our schedule is very flexible. ⏰ Drop-offs and pick-ups are usually best between 8:00AM and 10:00 PM, as we adjust our routine around our baby's schedule-but we're happy to discuss other times if needed (additional fees may apply). ‼️Just a heads-up: our Daycare is designed for stays up to 8 hours. If your pup needs to stay longer (around 10–12 hours), especially with very early drop-off or late pick-up, an extra fee will apply. This helps us be fairly compensated for the additional time your dog will be with us.‼️ 🐶 We only host one Rover family at a time to ensure your pet receives our full attention and care. If you have two dogs, we're more than happy to welcome both! Otherwise, your pup will be our only guest during their stay. 👶🏻Our baby also adores dogs! Just let us know if your pup is comfortable around children so we can make sure it's the right fit. 🔒Our home is always secure-doors are locked, and all outdoor time is fully supervised. We have both a fenced and an open yard for play, and we run HVAC 24/7 to keep the indoor temperature comfortable year-round. Feel free to book a Meet & Greet or message us with any questions! Bonus: We also speak Spanish!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and my experiences have ranged from puppies to senior dogs with special medical needs and disabilities. I’m an animal lover and have love and respect for all living beings. I do my best to make sure your fur baby is comfortable, attended to and loved. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, so I will have all the time available to take care of your beloved dog. I’m available for boarding, daycare, drop in visits and walking. My home has a roomy, fenced in backyard and I have a super friendly pup at home. There is plenty of space to play, run and sniff! I do not let the dogs go outside unattended. They are always supervised to ensure safety. I’m also able to crate your dog whenever needed if that is preferred.

About: I grew up caring for a wide range of pets such as dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, and rodents. My mom loved taking animals in and giving them a loving home. I’ve always had a love for providing the best care and attention to animals in need as well and have helped rescue a few animals with my mom growing up. I am currently applying for grad schools and am at home full time, therefore I will be able to give your furry or feather friends all the love and attention they need! I currently have very flexible hours as I am at home full time so I am able to provide the best care possible for you and your pets! I have one kitty that is very friendly. She can be separated from your pet if needed. I would walk your pet however many times needed a day and will go based on your feeding schedule needs. I love taking pets out to the park, beach, or runs if requested!

About: I have taken care of dogs for five years. I am gentle, kind, compassionate, and loving. I also am very caring and reliable. I treat animals like they are my own. I have my Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Psychology. I am looking to make this my full time job. I would make it like any other job I have done. A monday to friday with many clients. I don’t have any pets at home. I’ve dog sat before and walked. I fed and took care of a dog for many people. I have been doing dog walking and dog sitting a almost five years.

About: Hello my name is Brooke! I’ve spent years caring for and training my own dog, which has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, communication, and positive reinforcement. I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. What sets me apart is my calm, confident approach and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own; making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they deserve. I'm currently working part-time which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets and spend quality time with them. My schedule allows me to do walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I always make sure pets get the attention and consistency they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their usual routine. In my home, dogs have a calm, safe space to relax, regular walks, playtime, and lots of love. I make sure they always have fresh water, a cozy spot to rest, and plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their care instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always treat each home and pet with respect, keeping things clean and making sure your furry friend feels safe and cared for while you’re away.

“Sara was great! She walked our dog, Bruno, and was very patient with him with him! She kept me updated and is very easy to communicate with! I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I currently have 1 golden retriever that is now 1 years old and raised him from the age of 2 months. I also have 1 frenchie that is currently 1.5 years old and raised him from a pup as well. I have the patience and love that it takes to raise 2 playful puppies. All of their training has been done at home. As a young adult I also took care of my childhood dogs that have become seniors in the past. Taking care of my 2 fur babies plays a major role in my daily routine. My day begins with a dog walk, their breakfast, play time and potties throughout the day, dinner time, and nightly cuddles. I believe that pets are our children, and just like children they need our attention, love, and nurturing. In my own home my pets receive the attention of me and my partner. We spend a lot of time outdoors on walks and running in the grass. In my client’s home, I treat their pets as my own, giving them the attention and trust they deserve.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10, and love to play and do fun activities with pets! I am patient, friendly, and gentle with all kinds of pets I’m currently not working so I have a flexible schedule all week. I am able to do pet care daily each week and can accommodate most schedules It’s important for me to earn the trust of each pet I care for and respect their needs and boundaries. I love caring for cats as I have one myself, and love going on long walks with dogs to parks!

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life ranging from cats, dogs, Guinea pigs, mice, reptiles etc. my friends and clients have relied on me to walk and keep their animals company when their owner is away. I mainly do house sitting so I’m with the animal all day. I like to send tons of pictures and videos . This gives my clients a sense of security and reassurance that their animal is happy and content. I’m a currently attending grad school part time. This gives me a flexible schedule allowing me to stay and play with your animals. I prefer staying with your animal at their house so they feel comfortable in their own environment. Two days a week (Monday and Wednesdays) I have internship so I will be away from the house during those times for up to 6 hours At my place we have a fenced back yard for the dogs to play in. I have a in door cat that is free to room the house and find hiding spaces to sleep

“Angelo met us 1/2 hr prior to very first scheduled walk time with both our dogs. We all had a meet and greet. Discussed our dogs with him. Angelo seems gentle, patient and friendly. Our dogs responded positively during meet & greet. We felt confident with Angelo & look forward to scheduling more doggie was.”

About: I’ve had very much experience sitting for family and friends pets throughout the past 6 years. I do also have experience working with animals through volunteering at an animal shelter for about a year and a half. As of now, I am working in a vet clinic as a veterinary assistant. I am working my way to become a registered veterinary technician! I do have a dog of my own, he is two years old so he is very energetic! I always make sure to take him on walks before I go to school or work! My grandparents do also have a dog which I will always check on and walk as well! Not only do I have my own personal pet care but I also care for pets while I’m working as a veterinary assistant. My dog does get his regular walks and playtime since he’s still a puppy. I always assure he’s well fed, has fresh water and will sometimes give him specific enrichment toys. I always assure the same goes for my grandparents dog, although she is on the older side, I care for her very well.
