Pet Sitting Santa Margarita

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.

“Carlos did an amazing job watching my doggos. He was very understanding and you can tell he truly cares. He was very prompt with communication and asked all the necessary questions in order to care for my doggos properly which I really appreciated. I was able to take care of my business and not worry about my doggos.”

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and have care for animals as big as cows to animals as small a guinea pigs. I am comfortable with senior, special needs and high energy animals alike. I currently work 9-5 but have availability before and after office hours and all day Wednesday and Thursday. I am happy to stop in and check on your fur babies early morning or into the evening. My pets are my family and I treat all animals with that same level of love and respect. I want all my clients to know their pets are safe and happy while they are away.

About: Hello! I'm Regan, an Animal Science student at Cal Poly SLO with a lifelong love for animals. I've grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, fish, and chickens, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for animals. This has made me comfortable with pets of all different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. Along with my personal experience, studying Animal Science has given me a stronger foundation in animal health, behavior, handling, and proper care. I'm extremely comfortable with feeding, walking, following medication instructions, maintaining routines, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I know that every pet is different, so I make an effort to learn their individual routines and personalities rather than treating every animal the same. I pay close attention to changes in behavior and well-being, and I'm very detail-oriented when following owner instructions to ensure you know your pet is in great hands while you're away. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets with the same attention, patience, and care that I give my own animals. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and overnight care around my classes, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I spend a lot of my free time around animals already, so incorporating pet care into my day comes naturally to me. I’m also very organized with my schedule and will only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and any household rules or preferences. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure before letting pets outside or leaving the home. I understand that being trusted with both someone’s pet and their home is a big responsibility. I’m respectful of each client’s space and will always leave their home just as I found it. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and will communicate with owners if I notice anything unusual. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Great communication and showed love for our babies.”

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.

“Joshua was an excellent pet sitter! He was communicative, reliable, and took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands. We truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommend!”

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 have had dogs my whole life. My oldest is nearly 15. I have 4 currently, lab, shepherd, border collie mix, boxer. I can handle pretty much any breed, temperament, & love them all! From puppies to seniors, I’m comfortable helping with any needs. I’m also a big trail runner, so if your dog needs a little extra I can help! I have a flexible schedule working for myself, so I can adjust my schedule to meet you & your pets needs, whether that’s dog walks or drop by visits! My dogs are all crate trained while I’m away or in the car. At home they have free roam with a fenced in yard. I will care for your pets like they were my own.

About: Hi! My name is Yujin Emily and I am passionate about caring for animals. My own dog, Mae, is a lovable and unique little beast! I don’t get to see her so often anymore, and really miss taking care of a furry friend. I have interacted with dogs of all temperaments and can understand what it’s like to care for a sensitive pet. Let me know in particular if your pet has any unique qualities and I will cater my care to them! I work overnight but am available throughout the day for walks and day-sits! My shifts are generally Friday night through Sunday morning, but I am available for house/overnight dog-sitting throughout the week. I do not have the space in my own place to board pets (unfortunately) but have experienced shadowing other dog-sitters, as well as long-term house-stays and pet-sits. I am conscientious and respectful of the pet and owner’s needs and preferences first.

About: I have always been around animals, whether that is cats or dogs. I enjoy house sitting and would love to help anyone that needs a sitter/ walker! I also enjoy helping around the house so feel free to ask me! I currently am working part time so I have plenty of available time. I am free every night, and can work in other times that are needed. I have a fenced yard and an extra crate to keep your pet safe. I have one friendly dog that loves to have company around.

“Helona is the best. She sent me photos, videos and always recorded her times that she checked in and checked out. In addition she play with my dog and bought her a toy!!! Doesn’t get better than that.”

About: Growing up with horses, I developed my passion for animals at a young age. I ran a petsitting business for 7 years in Charlotte, NC and am aiming to get started again here on the Central Coast! Experience includes house sitting, livestock care, dog walking, and drop-in care. I do currently work full-time 12 hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I am available in the evenings from 5 to 10 still. Fridays through Sunday are fully available. For seven years, I provided house sitting for many repeat customers that travelled often and for extended periods for work. I have also worked on various horse farms. My breadth of experience allowed me to be flexible with any accommodations you may have. I do have a my dog, Coco, that likes to join along but this is not a requirement.

“Brittany is an amazing person and an amazing caregiver. She has a bright energy that all of our animals thrive off of. She is very communicative, timely, and flexible. We have a challenging husky that she handled with ease. Highly recommended!”

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.
