Dog Walking Santa Barbara

“Cheryl is extremely responsive and reliable. We have hired her four times in the past year to provide our dogs with walks and check-ins while we are away. She provides peace of mind through pictures, messages, and Rover report cards. The dogs always look happy in their photos which allows us to relax and enjoy our time away!”

“Peyton helped me with a few midday walks for my 15 month old dog. She is a clear communicator, asked what expectations I had & provided pictures and updates throughout each of her visits. My dog can be a little skittish with strangers but he immediately warmed up to her. Highly recommend Peyton!”

“Dawer has brought joy, commitment and hard work to his commitment to walk our golden retriever, Honey. He has been and continues to be such a gift to our family. Our dog, Honey, who has survived a number of illnesses since Dawer became her walker, paces around near her regular "Dawer time" - and no matter how she is feeling on that day - she RUNS to him. He is truly gifted in his interaction with animals and a blessing to Honey and to the many in his circle of friends and colleagues. If you need a compassionate, bright and evolved human to walk your dog and support your dog's life, literally and figuratively , select Dawer.”

About: I bring almost a decade of pet care across several different professional facilities. Whether a puppy, unruly, shy, or elderly I've dealt with it all! I've managed chaotic play yards but I love forming strong one-on-one bonds with all furry creatures- I was many a pup's favorite in the yards, especially the ones who were less confident. I am currently open and flexible in order to accomdate a variety of client schedules. Whether you need a regular walker or weekend drop ins I'm your girl! The safety and well being of your dog is always my priority! I have my own rescue dog who came with a few behavioral quirks and have worked with him extensivley to be an upstanding citizen as well as manage his behaviors in general.

About: I can't remember a time without a furry (or occasionally aloof, whiskered) friend by my side. I literally came home from the hospital to a wagging tail — my family's dog was my first welcome committee, and honestly, it's been downhill ever since. In the best way. I've shared my home with cats who ran the place like tiny CEOs, and two dogs who kept me on my toes and taught me more about patience than any human ever has. If you've got a dog who needs zoomies and belly rubs, or a cat who'll deign to acknowledge my existence on her own schedule, I speak both languages fluently. I'm also a proud supporter of the Santa Barbara Humane Society — animals have given me enough joy over the years that giving back isn't optional, it's just what you do. When you leave your pet with me, you're not getting a stranger who "loves animals" in the vague, profile-filler kind of way. You're getting someone who will send you the update photos, learn your dog's weird quirks or your cat's exact opinion of strangers, and treat your critter like my own — because that's the whole job. As someone who's self-employed, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I recently said goodbye to my beloved companion, and while I'm not quite ready to welcome a new furry friend into my own home yet, caring for other people's pets has been incredibly meaningful. It keeps me connected to what I love most while giving me the chance to shower someone else's best friend with all the love and care they need. I work from home, I'm flexible throughout the day, for pet companionship and supervision. I'm also an active person who loves getting out, so regular walks to the park, beach, or around downtown are part of my routine. Your furry friend will get both the comfort of a home environment and the adventure of exploring Santa Barbara's best spots.

“Ryan is a great dog walker for all sizes, personalities and ages. Our young puppy adores him! Ryan tires him out and reinforces our training.”

About: My motto is that it’s my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I’m with your pup , I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it’s my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they’re used to at home . I’m a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as can just come second nature for me ! Although I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, my experience with pups is much more far reaching than that. I’ve worked with dogs big and small and loved taken care of all of them equally It’s always great to chat with owners about what makes their pup tick ! Finally , I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and have helped care for pets of all kinds, from neighborhood pups to family cats. I’ve participated in dog training classes, I’m certified in animal CPR, and I’m currently a pre-veterinarian major studying biology. So this isn’t just something I enjoy, I’m truly passionate about it. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, a check-in, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! As a college student, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have lots of time during the week and weekends to hang out with your pets. Walks, check-ins, playtime, I’d be so excited to do any of these with your furry friends. I love being outside and active, so spending time with animals is honestly the best part of my routine. I’m super mindful about keeping pets safe and comfortable, whether I’m in your home or out on a walk. I always follow care instructions closely, and I’m trained in animal CPR, so I’m prepared for emergencies (just in case!). I’ve also taken pet training classes, so I know how to read behavior and respond calmly if a pup gets nervous or overly excited. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure and happy, and to leave you feeling totally at ease, too.

“Dario is the best. He has taught our dogs so much. Our dogs love him and we do too! We use Dario weekly to care for our fur babies! Thanks, Dario!”

I follow each pet’s routine closely—meals, walks, medications, and bedtime—and keep a close eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. I never leave dogs unattended during outdoor time and always use secure leashes and gates for extra safety.

About: I have a lot of love and experience with animals! My family has always loved animals, and I’ve grown up having multiple dogs throughout my life. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love spending time playing with them, giving them attention, and taking them on walks. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and want to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a student at SBCC and currently only have classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, so I have plenty of free time on the other days to care for your pup! I’m able to be flexible with my schedule and would love to spend my free time taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention and care. I’m unable to have pets stay in my home because I live in student housing, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home! I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and they have everything they need.

About: I've always had a deep love for dogs, having grown up with them. Unfortunately, my current living situation doesn’t allow for a pet. However, I’ve had the privilege of caring for friends and family’s dogs, ranging from weekly to monthly stays. I’ve even spent nights at their homes to ensure their pets are well-cared for. I am newly retired and love taking walks at the beach, park, and around the neighborhood. I would enjoy animal companionship to keep me company. I’ve cared for dogs in various living situations, including those who sleep in crates or inside the home. I’m comfortable working remotely on a laptop, allowing me to spend time outdoors or in a separate room, minimizing disruption to the dog’s routine.

About: Dogs have been a big part of my life. From chihuahuas to border collies to huskies and German Shepards/ Belgium Malinois - I’ve been around them all. I had my chihuahua for 14 years and went through all the stages with him. I was the family and neighborhood dog/cat and house sitter until I moved away for college. I’m a recent college graduate who just moved back to SB and am looking for some enjoyable work while I sort out my gap years. I love all animals and know I would love hanging out with your pet! I swear pets understand what we are saying and some even know how to communicate if you read them well enough. I will give your pet the attention they need and provide the appropriate care. I’ve cared for sick pets that need someone to go the extra mile and have no problem doing it.
