Dog Walking Santa Margarita

“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.”

“Faith has watched our dog, Marty, on multiple occasions - overnights and walks. She is always responsive, follows directions, and our pup loves her. Would highly recommend for a reliable sitter / walker.”

“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: I have hands-on pet care experience for two dogs, a Rottweiler and a pit bull mix, at home and volunteering 3 years caring for adoptable dogs for Animal Rescue Recon including daily feeding, walking, and clean up with varying temperaments, energy levels, and needs. As a full-time student at Cal Poly, my schedule allows me to be available Friday through Sunday to dedicate my time to feeding, walking, playtime, and providing reliable care for dogs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide timely feeding, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor each pets’ behavior, follow any specific instructions, cleanliness, and clear communication with pet owners.

About: I like to walk the dogs daily around the Atascadero Lake. I have a decent size fenced backyard with room to run and use my poop scooper daily. I am retired and looking for things to do during the week (mon-Fri) to fill my days. I have always loved the company of dogs and love to take them on daily walks. I have a dog bed in my bedroom, where your dog would sleep at night. The dogs water bowl is always kept clean and fresh. The dogs would always be welcome to hang out in the house with me, too.

About: From drop-ins to overnights, let me be your dog's best friend while you're away. Care includes feeding, medications, walks, cuddle time, ball throwing - whatever your dog needs and likes. Semi-retired so plenty of time to love your critters. Unless your animal prefers a short visit (sometimes shy or reclusive cats) I like to spend at least 45 minutes with your pet (s) during drop in visits. Obviously on overnights I spend a much longer time. I know the peace of mind that comes from having a trusted pet-sitter and I want to provide that peace of mind for you. You know your animals best so I will always follow your instructions to the letter. Rest assured that their welfare and comfort is ALWAYS my number one concern.

About: Hi! 🤍 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and getting to spend time with them is honestly one of my favorite things. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets over the years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s little personality and what makes them happiest. Whether it’s a peaceful walk, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and can follow any routines or training you’d like me to stick with. I work full time, but I make dedicated time for my Rover pets and will always show up reliably and communicate with you so you feel completely at ease. I’d love an opportunity to care for your fur baby! 🤍 Spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to, so I make dedicated time for pet care throughout my week 🤍 Even with a full time job, I plan my days so I can give each pet the attention and consistency they deserve, whether that’s morning visits, midday checkins, or evening walks. I’m very intentional about my schedule and only take on what I can fully commit to, so you can feel confident your pet is in reliable and caring hands. I know my way around a leash for any dog size, great and small, and will reinforce any training if needed during the drop ins and walks.

About: I have tons of animal experience, from chickens to horses and everything in between. Many of my high school years were spent in dog and cat rescue, and I have taken multiple animal science courses in college so I am very comfortable with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I'm not scared of by or wary of animals that might need more time to warm up. I'm also very active and outdoorsy and am always looking to have an animal join me on my various adventures and outings if that is what they are into. I work with dogs and cats of all sizes, energy levels, and ages, and can give oral medication, injections, or do bladder expression if needed. I am currently on summer break from my college classes and working part-time remotely from home, so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of scheduling. I’m comfortable playing, feeding, giving medication, crating, or anything else your pet might need. I treat all animals with the love and respect they deserve.

“Alyssa is incredibly personable, kind, communicative, and detailed. She wasn't intimidated by any of the quirks my dogs have or the challenges associated with picking my dogs up for walks and taking an elevator with them. She always alerts me of scheduling conflicts or changes in the timeline, and it's been a tremendous help for me.”

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.

“Jazzlynn has been excellent! She is very attentive to Sierra and Sierra can’t wait to her next visit. I highly recommend her ?”

“Carlos is awesome! He's one of the few people I trust with my dog. He's great with my pup, sends pictures and updates, and is super flexible and easy to work with. Bentley always has a better day when he gets to see Carlos!”

Amy M.

About: I have watched multiple ages of dogs! Some middle aged, all the way to 5 months! I love going on walks and will be happy to have a furry friend to join me. I have helped clean up after them, feeding, grooming, and just hanging out with them! I am a college student but have complete access to a car! I can stay overnight, I can get up early, stay late or even pop in to the house to make sure they get lunch! I will meet their expectations. I couldn't just go over to a clients house and just feed a dog. I would feed them, play with them, etc.

About: I believe that pets aren't just pets. They are one of us, making them a big part of our families. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. My cats are usually out of sight until they are hungry. We have dog gates to keep everyone safe. I have a large fenced yard and a daughter who loves animals. We are a very dog friendly family. Your dogs will be in a fun home environment and love you for letting them stay here. We also have chickens and ducks! However, they are locked up and inaccessible to the dogs. About this sitter: I am a 37 year old stay at home mom and wife. I have a 14 year old daughter. She loves animals and is very gentle. My husband and I own our home. We have a large fenced in yard. I can walk dogs, help to potty train, help with basic obedience, crate train, take to dog parks, even come and clean litter boxes and feed cats! My dogs are crate trained and sleep in their crates when we are not home. My dogs get to be on the couch and bed with us. We do not leave them outside when it is too hot or too cold, but they do love to lay in the sun. Pet care fits great with my schedule, as taking care of my family is my number one priority. Working a 9 to 5 job just doesn’t fit in with my daily life. Pet care is fun, unique, and never the same! I have a fenced backyard. I would never leave your pet outside unattended. If I’m at your home, I’ll play with your cats or dogs. I’ll gain their trust (not just clean litter boxes or pick up after them). I make sure to take lots of videos and pictures so you know they are happy and taken care of. Your pets are treated with respect and like my own when I care for them.

About: I am a certified dog mom. I have raised two pups starting at the age of 7 weeks. I know the time, love and care that is needed for these pups to get the care they deserve. I am here to make your life a little easier. Your pup is in good hands! I also have experience with e-collars. My schedule does change weekly. Each day is different for me. Feel free to reach out and I’ll see what I can do to help! I have a flexible work schedule that allows for me to take the dogs out for up to an hour. Depending on your requests there is flexibility. I make sure to give the dog space until they are ready to approach me considering I am entering their space. I make sure to read their body language to get a feel of what the dog is looking for.
