About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life. I have a lot of experience with big dogs & I have a pitbull. I know very well how to handle dogs who pull or can be aggressive on walks. I fostered for 3 years with SBCAS & have cared for elderly dogs, dogs with severe injuries, and other serious medical issues. I’ve also taken care of plenty of other animals including cats, rodents, & reptiles. I am trained to handle & administer medical care for cats & dogs by the Ojai Humane Society I work evenings & weekends so I’m free all day to take care of your animals while you’re at the office or out of town. Happy to take your dog on a long walk or hike. I have a high energy dog so I’m used to doing a lot of playing & running if that’s something your dog requires.

“Mike was on time and courteous, and most importantly, developed an instant rapport with my skittish shepherd. He was great at handling her when she tried to bark at a little dog, and got her under control without being harsh. I feel good about him walking her alone.”
“Sage takes such good care of our Penny girl. It's obvious they enjoy walking together. Sage is so thoughtful and goes above and beyond to help with small chores that are such a huge help to to me. Thank you Sage. Penny can't wait until next time ☺️🐾”

About: Animals are my passion. I cared for my beloved Parson Russell Terrier, Milo, from 2000 to 2015, and he’s the reason I fell in love with caring for all animals. That love led me to volunteer at the Berkeley Humane Society as a cat companion in 2014, and later at the Santa Cruz SPCA as a dog walker from 2024 to 2025. I’ve also transported rescued animals—most memorably a German Shepherd from NYC to his forever home in Florida—and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets for many years. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’m fully committed to providing exceptional, reliable, and compassionate care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, your pet will be treated like family. I follow your pet’s established routine—feeding, walking, medication, and comfort—and during extended stays, I’m happy to water plants, collect mail, and keep your home tidy. My mission is simple: to care for your pets with genuine love, respect, and dependability. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week for you and your pet. My background in customer service has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and attention to detail—qualities I bring to every pet care visit. I provide reliable, compassionate care that keeps your pet comfortable and secure in their own home. I follow their regular routine, prioritize safety, and care for them with the same attention and love I would give my own pets.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, attentiveness, and genuine care I bring to every pet I watch. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep owners updated, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I plan my schedule to make sure I can give each pet consistent, focused attention. I am available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and on Wednesdays from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. These morning and early afternoon hours are perfect for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I prioritize being punctual and dependable, so you can count on me to be there when your pet needs care. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, take them on walks, clean up after them, and spend quality time playing or simply keeping them company. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I always send updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. If caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable. I maintain consistent feeding and potty schedules, provide supervised playtime, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs whether that means extra exercise, basic training reinforcement, or gentle care for senior pets so they feel at home and well cared for at all times.

“She did an amazing job taking Valkyrie on walks, being on time and communicating regularly updates with pictures, videos and msgs. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Valkyrie is looking forward to her next walks with Lexy. Thank you again.”

About: Hi I’m Sara! An actress and lifelong animal person. I raised my family’s Maltipoo Rocky from age 9, have volunteered at shelters, and have been trusted by friends and family to care for their pets for years. On top of that, I have extensive cat fostering experience with animals of all temperaments and care needs, including my own cat Flinty, who I socialized from feral to fully thriving. I like to provide affordable quality pet care🫶🏼 As an actress, I have a genuinely flexible schedule! No rigid 9-to-5. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and can adapt to whatever routine works best for your pet. Your animal’s happiness and health is my priority and I strive to provide a service I would want my furbaby to receive! **If desired during of my visits I can bring in mail/packages, water plants, turn on/off lights, feed fish, etc. for free! Just ask :) I will ensure all safety measures are in place when visiting your home making sure all doors/gates & alarms are set into place before leaving your property. :)

About: I have two large-breed dogs of my own who I love to the moon and back, so I understand just how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’ve taken obedience training classes with my own dogs, and one of the biggest things I’ve learned is that dog training is just as much about teaching the owner as it is the dog! Those experiences have taught me patience, consistency, how to read a dog’s behavior, and how important it is to understand each dog’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, including large, strong, and high energy breeds. I also grew up around cats and have plenty of experience caring for them through my family. What sets me apart is that I’ll treat your pets the way I would want someone to treat mine, with genuine love, patience, attention, and respect for their normal routine. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout my day. As a dog owner myself, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention are already a natural part of my daily routine. I’m available for weekday and weekend care and can be flexible with timing depending on you and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal schedule to help keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s boundaries. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, stay aware of our surroundings on walks, and never put a pet in an environment or situation that makes them uncomfortable. Having two large dogs of my own has also made me very comfortable handling bigger, stronger, and higher energy dogs. I also believe communication is a huge part of building trust. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Santa Paula. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Paula. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
