Dog Walking in Santa Maria

“Even though Bella is flexible, Maria always lets me know if she is running even the slightest bit late at the beginning of our agreed window of time. She even brings any packages in. So thoughtful! Thanks Maria!”

About: I have been trusted to care for the pets of neighbors and strangers alike over the years. I trained and raised my own Aussie from eight weeks old (he’s now 7!) and he is the light of my life. He is my son and I will treat yours just as if he was my own! I also have plenty of experience administering topical, oral, and injection medications. I am a current PCPA (Pacific Conservatory Theatre Company) student who has a very light summer! I am very flexible with my scheduling and can adapt to whatever you may need whether you’ll be out of town for a few days or just need someone to come by and exercise/entertain your pet. I know some pets can be nervous when a new human enters their territory and I am very conscious and adaptable to that and their needs. I am willing to spend time and give them love if they want or give them their space. I am very respectful of my clients’ space and home and try to leave things better than I found them.

About: “I’ve owned dogs my whole life, so I know how to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, your dog is in trusted hands.” Well I’m currently in high school so it’s better for me to look after pets on the weekends. But I get good grades I’m a mature teen and I know what I’m doing when it comes to pets. I’ve watched my dogs in my home while my parents were out of town. I have lots of experience when it comes to watching dogs and I know how to keep them entertained.

“Cary & Brian are the best! Such a sweet couple and they were amazing with my Zola. Great communication, so natural with Zola and very professional. I am definitely booking with them again in the future!! Thank you so much Cary and Brian!”

About: Dogs have been my constant companions since I was a little kid. I’m so lucky to have two furry friends: a playful Black Lab and a loyal Doberman Pinscher. They’ve taught me the true meaning of joy and responsibility when it comes to our four-legged family members. I’ve also been in the military, serving in the U.S. Army. That experience instilled in me the values of reliability, discipline, and dedication, which I now bring to every walk, every tail wag, and every dog-sitting session. I’m currently working part-time as a dog walker and dog sitter, ensuring each pup gets the exercise, care, and attention they truly deserve. Whether your dog prefers a brisk power walk, a relaxing stroll around the block, or simply lots of love and belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and cherished. Time to get those paws moving! 🐾 I am currently available for part-time dog walking and dog sitting with a flexible, open schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care, I am happy to work around your preferred times — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends included. As a U.S. Army Veteran, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and trust. When caring for your dog in your home, my priority is to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety while respecting your home as if it were my own.

About: I've had the gift of house/pet sitting for 15 years, and it is without a doubt the most rewarding job I've ever experienced! Personally, I've had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, horses, and hermit crabs as pets, besides the odd rescued baby bird, bunny, or mouse. On top of cats, dogs, and fish, I've had the opportunity to care for alpacas, an African grey parrot, and saltwater fish/reefs, while pet sitting. Every animal I encounter has its own identity and temperament, which is always fun and interesting to observe and base my care on. I feel like such a winner when I get a standoffish animal to trust me! Throughout my life I've had an array of animals to bond with, though for a long period recently we had just one cat. Mournfully, a few years ago, my dad and I had to part with our beloved Stevie. She was our close companion for over 15 years, and I still miss her immensely. Her quirks and routines still cross my mind, which brings all the things that made her unique and lovable up into my heart. Pet sitting warms my heart, and definitely fills the need that I still have for animal companionship (but without the heartbreak). Pet sitting is a way for me to have the joy of loving and caring for a pet in an empathetic way: in their own home, on their own schedule, stepping into their owner's (figurative) shoes for a bit, to make *everyone* more comfortable. Time and again, it's proven to be the best way I've found to give personalized care to precious pets, and allow owners to truly enjoy their time away. My part-time library job offers me a lot of flexibility, leaving me the opportunity to do more of what I love. Traveling, exploring new areas, experiencing new food, going to music events, working out/walking, spiritual activities, and creative endeavors have a place in my life because of this balance. Of course that also includes one of the most rewarding ways to punctuate my life: house and pet sitting! I base my care around the individual needs of the pet and owner! Pets LOVE their routines, so I typically live in harmony with their modus operandi, on balance with my part-time engagements.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for over 30 years and have also fostered kittens for the animal shelter that I later adopted. I am a substitute teacher during the regular school year and am otherwise a DoorDash driver. I would work my schedule around what you need. My cats stay indoors and my 2 dogs love hanging out on our front enclosed porch or lounging inside. They all get along quite well.

“Krystal was amazing. Especially liked how she treated Charlie as if she was hers. Thank you so much Krystal”

About: Hi, my name is Landon, I'm from Salinas, California and it's my second year living in Eugene. I attended the university last year and now I'm taking a gap year to get my financials in order, in state tuition, etc. so I can finish my degree. My girlfriend and I have been together 3 years and her parents have 17 and 20 years of experience in the animal field. Her dad is one of the head animal control officers for Monterey County (where we're from) and has taught both of us so much about dogs and cats. Whether it be training methods, foods that are better than others, how to recognize certain behavioral habits, or any problem we come to him with, her dad has taught us how to truly take the best care of a dog. If I were to be accepted to take care of your pet, I would use all of my tools and knowledge and my whole heart to show your furry kid love. Currently, I'm looking for any job so my schedule is wide open! Caring for your pet will be at the top of my list as soon as I hear I can take care of them. So I unfortunately would not be able to care for pets at my house for extended periods of time, as my place doesn't allow ownership of pets, but one night wouldn't hurt at all. Any pet I encounter I treat as if it were my own, and with that comes smothering them with love, and caring to meet their needs as a pup while to a certain degree, spoiling them!

“Jami is so sweet with my Dog he loves her, she is patient and playful with him, she’s our favorite DoggySitter who we can trust every time we go out of town she’s available, I totally recommend her services.”

About: Hi I'm Tiffany! I used to groom for a grooming corporation for about 5 years and then on my own for a few years after that. I then took on house/dog sitting for close friends and really enjoyed it all before COVID hit. I love caring for animals and my heart is huge for dogs. I love to be active with dogs and helps me to stay healthy and fit too since all day I sit at a desk job. I have a 17 year old chihuahua dachshund mix who is my whole world, and his name is Shorty. I look forward to walking your pet or keeping your pet safe while you're away. :) Thank you very much. I currently work full time during the week so I have availability for your pup’s needs on nights and on the weekends. I can be available weekdays 6:30pm - 9:00pm and weekends available 10:00am - 9:00pm. I can dog sit at your place or check on them. I can also walk them so they get their exercise before bed and through the day on the weekends. I currently do not have a place to hold your pet for sitting so all sittings will need to be their homes.

About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life! At one point, my family had five dogs at once, and now we have one cat so I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and comfortable handling a variety of pet needs. Since I work at a school, I’m using the summer break as a chance to take on extra work and stay productive. Just looking to make some extra money during this time doing something I love. You can trust that your pets will be in great hands with me! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and truly understand the care, attention, and love they need to feel safe and happy. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just spending quality time with them, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always follow instructions closely to make sure your pets stay healthy and your routine is respected.
