Dog Walkers in Samoa, CA

“We can't say enough about how appreciative we are for Junny and Jomhel! They are always on time; the dogs come back happy and tails wagging; and the daily pics are worth the price alone. You can tell a lot by how a dog reacts to someone and they are always bright and content when they go for their walks with Junny and Jomhel. Highly highly recommend.”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I’m passionate about providing top-notch, personalized care for your furry family members. Whether it's a playful pup, a senior companion, or a pet with special needs, I tailor my approach to meet their unique requirements. What sets me apart: -Flexible Care: I’m happy to stay with your pet all day if needed, ensuring they get constant companionship and attention, whether you're at work or away. -Medication Administration: Experienced in giving pets oral meds, injections, and other treatments as needed, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands. -Puppy Training: Helping puppies with the basics like housebreaking and socialization, all with positive reinforcement methods. -Senior Pet Care: I understand the needs of older pets, providing gentle walks, extra comfort, and ensuring they receive their medication on time. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and I’ll treat them like my own—providing a safe, caring, and enriching environment in your absence. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I work part-time from home, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets. Whether it's during the day for a midday walk, some playtime, or extended care while you're away, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs. In my home, your pet will feel like part of the family. I have two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends, so if your pet enjoys socializing, they’ll have a blast together! We have a small, secure fenced front yard where they can safely play and explore. Plus, I'm always happy to take them to local beaches, parks, or walking trails for fun outdoor adventures. If your pet prefers to stay in their own environment, that’s absolutely fine too! I can come to your home and provide as much care as needed, whether it’s for short visits or staying overnight. I’m flexible and will ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved, sticking to their regular routine while you're away. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize your pet's well-being and will always adapt to their unique needs, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid, and grew up with multiple cats and dogs around me at all times. I've always loved animals and found joy in caring for them, including walking, playing, bathing, and feeding. I have experience caring for dogs and cats from ages 0-17, including providing special routines and administering medicine. I'm currently working part-time in the area, so I will have plenty of time to meet new animals. My schedule is quite flexible at the moment, so I am available most days. For me, a pet's health and happiness take precedence, so I always treat a pet as if they were my own, giving them all the attention they deserve. Some pets can be shy, so I always try and meet them where they are comfortable.

About: I have been trusted to take care of others’ pets for approximately nine years now. I absolutely adore animals and think they deserve the world, so your pet’s wants and needs are my number one priority! If my prices are not in your range, I am happy to negotiate something that is fair for us both. I am a full-time medical assistant who works 3 12 hour shifts each week. On my days off I have plenty of time to walk, bathe, feed, and play with your fur baby. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away. I am willing to check in on your pets as many times as you feel necessary, or even stay with them throughout the day. I always say “treat others how you would want to be treated,” so I hold the same expectations to myself that I would have someone who was watching my pet.

About: With over two decades caring for animals, I understand the importance of consistency, structure, and heartfelt connection. I tailor care to their unique & individual energy level and temperament, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged. Skills include: • Providing daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Administering medication and special dietary care • Following training cues and behavioral guidelines • Handling puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs • Ensuring safety and comfort during solo time or socialization • Offering basic grooming and cleanliness maintenance I’m dedicated to creating a fun, secure space for pets to thrive while their humans are away. I’m currently focused on getting a book published, which means my schedule can be flexible yet full—if you catch my drift. Working with animals not only keeps me inspired but also supports my growing business, which combines professional cleaning with attentive pet sitting. ⸻ Pet care is a meaningful and energizing part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, feeding, or simply offering quiet companionship, I prioritize pets’ well-being and happiness every day. Because I’m currently working on publishing a book, I have the flexibility to dedicate focused, consistent time to each animal I care for. This means I can adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra playtime, medication administration, or simply being a calm presence while you’re away. Our family continues to heal from the loss of our beloved cat, Giraffe, last year. Caring for animals has been a vital source of comfort and strength as we embrace this new chapter. I’m dedicated to creating a clean, calm, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cherished. I look forward to providing thoughtful, reliable care for your furry family members while you’re away. Pet care is not just a job for me; it’s a source of inspiration and joy that fits naturally into my lifestyle and supports the balance I’m building in life here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to their needs. In Your Home: I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions — so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep their space clean, respect their boundaries, and offer companionship and playtime based on their personality and energy level. I also ensure your home stays tidy and secure while you’re away. In My Home: If your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, comfortable space where I prioritize consistency and care. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and adjust accordingly to keep them happy and relaxed. No matter the setting, I treat every animal like family — with patience, respect, and affection — ensuring they feel safe and loved throughout their stay.

About: !! MY PRICES ARE SLIDING SCALE FOR PEOPLE WITH FIXED INCOME!! (just message me) I love dogs and all animals, if you have more pets along with your dog I'll happily care for them also! I can care for special needs animals, and accommodate for animals with allergies. I'm very easy to contact and I'll send you frequent updates and pictures of your pets while I'm caring for them! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I'll do an initial meeting in your home to make sure your dog(s) are comfortable with me in their territory, and we'll discuss all your pets needs while I socialize with them! I can't wait to give your dogs lots of love and exercise, they'll definitely be spoiled with me as their sitter or Walker. We'll have tons of fun playing together! I'm currently working part time at a local doggy daycare, im looking to find a second source of income doing the thing I love most which is working with animals of all kinds! I work 5 days a week M-F but I'm willing to work around my schedule to accommodate for your pets specific needs! I always go into meeting animals with a lot of patience and care depending on their temperment levels with new people. I never rush into a greeting with a pet because I want them to know they can trust me to respect the boundaries they've set and I won't force interactions. I'm very careful to respect house rules set by the pet owner and maintain a clean environment for the animals to relax in comfortably.

About: I've grown up with cats and have helped or fully taken care of them since I was 8. I currently have 3 cats (ages 2, 2, and 3) which I feed, clean the water bowl, and solely sift/clean/change the litter boxes. I also have an almost 5 year old ball python who I've solely taken care of since he was 2 months old. Currently job-hunting, so besides taking care of my own pets I will be able to fit a lot into my schedule! I will also be more flexible. At home I both keep things locked up and away that I do not want the cats getting into, and keep an eye out for whatever they may find. I also sift 2-3 times daily, and change litter boxes weekly. My ball python's tank gets emptied and cleaned every other week. My cats and snake have never and will never directly interact with each other. However I will carry my snake around to let him explore as much as is safe.

About: I've been a dependable care provider for many dogs in the past few years and really love what I do! Dog boarding is one of my main services and your pooch will be very tended to between myself and my roommate! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! 90% of the time while I am at work, my (also experienced dogsitter) boyfriend is home. With enough advanced notice I can be sure your dog is not left alone at all if needed, though if not otherwise specified depending on my schedule they may be alone up to 3 hours at a time. I am great at reading animal behavior and making sure your pet is comfortable. I also make sure to adhere to your guidelines carefully when caring for your pet. I'm experienced with animals who have separation anxiety and issues eating when in a new environment so you can rest assured they are as comfortable as possible!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life and family. I find a lot of joy in caring for them and appreciate the reciprocal relationship that develops with them over time. No matter what mood I’m in, my interactions with animals often leave me in a positive state of mind. I work full time, Mon-Fri from 8-4:30. Any time outside of this I am happy to work doing sitting or walking, and I’m open to staying overnight. I can be somewhat flexible with your needs. I am looking to supplement my income, but also just really enjoy having animals in my life and can’t have them in my own home. My landlord does not permit animals in the building, so I would have to come where your animals are. I can either walk a dog from your home, stop by for feedings , or house-sit as needed.

“Ember is a very reliable and patietwalker. She uses positive reinforcement to encourage our timid puppy to walk farther each time. We highly recommend her!”

“Dewey loves his time with Melissa! She is really great at directing him, fun and rewarding time together. As a young dog consistently is so important, Melissa focuses on good behavior and gentlycorrects when Dewey is getting off track.”

About: I am adventurous, active, and love to explore new places. I can’t wait to spend time with your dog walking around my area and exploring dog friendly activities around this area. We can stay home or go on an adventure to your liking. Snuggles and love are included at no extra charge. I can administer medications if needed and will follow any specific instructions to a tee. My dog is my baby and I would only want her to be treated as such. I have been very successful using Rover as a customer, so I know the quality of service you and your dog are expecting and I insist on delivering that to you. Walking, running, playing, fetching, snuggling, hugging, and giving praise for being a great dog is what I specialize in:)

About: I’m a longtime Humboldt community member (28 years), avid cyclist, and lifetime animal lover. I currently have one shelter rescue cat, Batty, who I fell in love with at the Humboldt Animal Rescue Team (HART) shelter where I volunteer every week. I have taken in many stray or abandoned dogs and cats over the course of my lifetime; always getting them their shots and a vet exam, followed up with spay/neutering, and regular vet care. I treat animals with love and kindness while being firm and consistent about behavioral expectations. I treat your pets in my care as I would my own. I can also care for birds, furry critters, some reptiles, and fish. I have always had a special affinity with cats; I’m usually the guy at the party who is in the other room playing with the cat. Pet care is all I do, so nothing interferes with the care that your pets need. Whether it’s sitting at your home or just dropping in for daily care. I can provide drop-in visits or stay at your home with your pets, not only feeding, providing fresh water, and cleaning up poop and/or litter box, but taking dogs for a walk, playtime, and providing your pets with love and attention, and assuring them that everything is ok, and that their people will be back soon. I will spend time getting to know your pets, earning their trust, and offering my friendship. I’m also available for 30-60 minute dog walks. I’m always happy to text you updates and photos while caring for your pets. I’m a member of Pet Sitters International, the association of professional pet sitters, listed as Pet Sitting Stays, LLC and insured through Pet Care Insurance (PCI).
