Dog Walking San Luis Obispo

“JOSH was great to work with. He was very prompt and also very flexible if a time needed to change on occasion. He and my dog, Shiloh, seem to bond quite well over the weeks that I needed JOSH‘s walking services. I highly recommend JOSH for taking care of your pet, without reservation.”

About: 7 years of hands-on daily dog care with my own dog, plus regular pet sitting for neighbors and friends: feedings, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Between classes, I’ve got a flexible schedule that works great for walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I know how much routine matters to dogs, so I keep things consistent and send you photo/video updates every visit. Hi there! I’m Addyson a college student and dog mom of 7 years. Along the way I’ve become the go-to sitter for my neighbors and friends, covering everything from quick walks to full weeks of vacation coverage. Being a student keeps me flexible and full of energy, and honestly, dogs are my favorite study break. I light up around them and I treat every dog I watch like my own. I split my time between Frisco, TX and Orange County, CA, so I’m able to offer care in both spots. Whichever coast your pup is on, expect photo updates, a consistent routine, and a whole lot of love. Can’t wait to meet your dog — let’s set up a Meet & Greet! 🐶 When I’m caring for your pet in your home, your space and your pet’s safety are my top priorities. I stick to your exact routine, feeding times, walks, favorite toys, all of it, so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I always double-check gates, doors, and locks before letting your dog out and make sure your home is just as secure when I leave as it was when I arrived. I keep things low-key and private while I’m there, no visitors, no broadcasting that your house is empty, and I send photo and video updates throughout every visit so you always know how things are going. If anything ever comes up, I make sure I have your vet’s info on hand and respond quickly. Whether I’m in Frisco or Orange County, you get the same level of care and attention in every home I step into.

“Adrienne took wonderful care of my pup Gage! She is clearly a dog lover. The feeling is mutual, Gage is always excited to see her. My dog can be stubborn on walks but Adrienne had no trouble handling him. She clearly has experience with larger dogs and is very responsive and responsible. Highly recommend.”

“Claire made sure our cattle dog got plenty of exercise & our dog was excited to see Claire’s when she arrived. We will ask for Claire again in the future.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dog, Malibu, was part of my family for 16 years. She lived with my parents for the first nine years of her life, and I cared for her personally during her final seven years. She even became a world traveler with her own pet passport. Caring for Malibu through her senior years taught me patience, consistency, and how important it is to adjust care as a pet’s needs change. For the past two years, I have also helped care for a cat named Sami. That experience has taught me how to build trust with cats, respect their boundaries, and pay close attention to their routines and behavior. I’m dependable, organized, patient, and respectful of other people’s homes. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, litter-box instructions, and any special requests. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention while they are away. I work remotely Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., which allows me to be home with your pet throughout the day. I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and supervision while still maintaining their normal routine. Because I’m home during the workday, your pet will not be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for overnight care, evenings, and weekends, depending on my schedule. I live in a quiet neighborhood with several safe and enjoyable walking routes nearby. My two-bedroom apartment provides a calm, comfortable environment, and I have a fenced back patio that is perfect for supervised sunbathing, fresh air, and naps. My home also has air conditioning to keep pets comfortable during warmer weather, and there are multiple parks less than five minutes away for walks and outdoor time. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication directions, household rules, and any special care needs. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I prioritize safety, consistency, cleanliness, and regular communication. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their pet is comfortable and well cared for.

“Paolo loves when Clare comes to help us out with walks! He gets so excited when he sees her walking up the driveway and can't wait to spend time with her! She is very knoweldgeable about dogs and quick to respond.”

“We need and appreciate the help with this energetic young dog. Waldo tries to leave with Zara after the walk is over even though his tongue is hanging out… He really loves her.”

About: I have two dogs at home and have had a lot of experience dog and cat starting in elementary school and every year since then! I’m a college student so my schedule is a bit all over the place. Besides classes Monday-Thursday I have no specific commitments so plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I cannot take care of animals in my own place but I’m excited to take care of dogs and cats where they’re used to — their own home :)

“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”

About: I have worked with neighbors pets since I was in high school, haves pets of my own since I was born and am currently a hospice volunteer. My schedule is very open as I am a fourth year student at cal poly that doesn’t have many classes left to take. I also wake up usually pretty early if needed to feed pets early in morning. I like to make sure that in my house the environment is set up especially for a puppy for instance that it can’t go out running in the street and using positive reinforcement to help train the puppy to make the experience safer while walking the dog.

“Forest has great communication, was easy to book with, and followed all my instructions for walking our small dog Jasmine! Will be booking again in the future and would recommend Forest to a friend. :)”

About: *If this is your first time booking a sitter on Rover, use code BELLAC07359 for $20 off! Hello! My name is Bella and I am a current Cal Poly student studying environmental science and pre-law. I absolutely love animals of all kinds and will be a great help with your pet care! I am no stranger to the extra care that elderly or baby animals need. I spent my childhood growing up near a farm taking care of animals of all sizes. While I took care of livestock, I also cared for the four dogs and three cats that lived in the house. Because of this, I am able to care for any pet, big or small, timid or energetic. I am currently a student at Cal Poly, therefore I am able to care for your animals before 11 a.m. or after 4 p.m. on weekdays. I am free on weekends all day. I have no problem waking up as early as needed or staying the night to pet sit. I am excellent at following directions and will take any schedules given to me seriously. I have the upmost respect for other people’s homes and pets.

About: I have extensive experience with pets and livestock, from my own animals growing up to working five years in veterinary medicine. Whether your dog needs a stroll around the neighborhood or your kitty needs regular insulin injections, I can handle it all! My degree is in animal science, and I previously worked as a technician specializing in oncology and critical care. I am comfortable with special needs, geriatric, or young pets that may need additional supervision. In addition, I can provide basic aquarium care as well as livestock care (in case you have horses, cows, goats, etc). I am currently working from home, so my schedule is flexible to pop in for a walk or house-sit! When housesitting, I will be around all day to ensure that your pet’s needs are taken care of. While I am no replacement for their parents, I treat everyone’s pets as if they’re my own! This means lots of interaction, enrichment activities, and playtime. When your pets see me, I want them to know they’re in for a loads of fun— hopefully this helps take their minds off missing you too much.
