Dog Walking Santa Margarita

“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.”

About: My family has our own dog Wilbur (see profile pic) who I love to take on walks and runs! I also like to play with him! One of his favorite games is tug of war. I’m a student on at Cal Poly SLO. I’m in class Monday-Thursday, with no classes on Fridays. I’m available in the morning and afternoon throughout the week. I’m willing to work with you so we can find the time that works best for both of us! I will make sure your dog is hydrated by offering water during walks. I also like to give Wilbur a treat at the end of our walks, and I’ll do the same for your dog if you like! When checking up on your dog, I will make sure they have enough food, water, and attention.

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.

“Carlos has taken care of our husky 3 times now! Twice for long holiday vacations, and once very last minute. He is very reliable, dependable, and trustworthy! He sends us lots of pictures too. Totally would recommend him. Thanks Carlos!!”

“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 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: I’m an Animal Science student with 8 years of experience caring for and working with animals. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I’m comfortable handling active dogs and making sure each walk is safe, fun, and suited to your dog’s individual needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos after walks. I’m currently a 3rd-year Animal Science student and have plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings around my class schedule. Dog walking fits perfectly into my routine, and I love spending my free time outside and staying active. My schedule varies slightly by day, but I’m happy to work with owners to find consistent walking times. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities and can easily adjust each walk to your dog’s needs and comfort level. I pay close attention to my surroundings, your dog’s behavior, and any instructions you provide. I prioritize safe leash handling and will always treat your dog with patience and care.

“Hailey was amazing! Prompt and easy communication, was available on short notice. Maggie loved her immediately. Will absolutely be using her again!”

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: *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: Growing up I have always been surrounded by and taken care of animals, including my own dogs. I have pet sit for the past couple years over the summer for various families, so I have years of experience under my belt. I love animals of all sizes and am not afraid to handle big dogs (they are my favorite). I am a current college student at Cal Poly, so I am free typically after my morning classes, in the afternoons and evenings as well as weekends. I will always make sure your dogs get the best care they can in your home and will take care of them to the best of my ability.

“Wonderful always!”

About: Growing up with dogs throughout my life, I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, giving them plenty of attention, and following each owner’s instructions closely. I’m currently a college student home for summer break, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the care and attention they need. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and other daily care. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, keep pets supervised, provide fresh food and water, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also keep the home secure and will provide updates during each visit.

“Kaylee has been wonderful with my large goldendoodle! She is always quick to respond, dependable and great with him. My pup looks forward to their walks. She has been a life saver on multiple occasions and I would definitely continue to choose her to care for my dog.”

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.

“Mariah was great with my dog! She was very attentive to him, sent photos while out walking him, and made me feel really comfortable knowing he was well taken care of!”

“Our new puppy is sometimes shy around new people...but not Brianna! Brianna's already been to our house a couple of times for midday walks, and we love the detailed updates she provides about her visits. Everything is always left organized and clean, and we really appreciate the peace of mind knowing that Jacky is so well cared for while we're away.”

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.

About: Been taking care of pets since I was young! Have taken care of friend’s and family’s pets. Previously volunteered at the Cal Poly Cat Program. Recently graduated with a degree in animal science! I work full-time, and would love to take care of your animal(s) on my days off and before and after work! I have a car to be able to take them to the park and/or beach! I have a pet-friendly house with a bark yard and live in a nice neighborhood to be able to take them on a walk! I also have more than enough room to set up a kennel if needed.
