Dog Walkers in Santa Venetia, CA

“Chris is very caring and conscientious and we appreciate his attention to detailed instructions for our dogs so much. He arrived and took the dogs for their walk on schedule and even spent some time with them after their walk. Our dogs can be persnickety and willful but he is very patient with them.”

“Leonard was awesome to work with on all levels! He took care of my dog both as an in home sitter for overnight stay and for day sitting. He was extremely easy to work with as he would flex his hours everyday according to my schedule. My dog absolutely loved him! He took her to the beach and hiking and was always with her at home. He even bought her a toy on his last day which he let her select (not surprising that the toy closely resembles a squirrel :). Leonard also has a very pleasant and approachable personality - I would highly recommend him to take care of your dog. I look forward to Leonard and my dog reuniting on another stay!”

“Stella is just GREAT and Lucy loves her! I've already instructed that she be given a weekly tip of $10 in perpetuity (as long as she's walking Lucy twice a week!). PR”

“Kelsey was awesome! She communicated very well, and Tonks (our very shy Corgi) quickly opened up to Kelsey! She also considered the day's heat and adjusted her walking schedule to ensure they were shaded. Awesome service!”

“Carla is just wonderful! I trusted her the moment I opened the door to meet for the first time. She let me know what her plan was & sent pictures during & after of our sweet husky! Thank you so much Carla, you’re amazing!!”

“Thomas is super reliable and flexible with our last minute walk requests! He’s clearly a natural with dogs — our 75lb chocolate lab loves him and comes home happy and ready for nap.”

“Chuck was wonderful with our two husky mixes. They’re both high energy and have their own quirks on walks but Chuck was totally unfazed and even took them out in the pouring rain. Our dogs love him, you can tell they’re in great hands when he walks them.”

About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, especially cats. I have over 13 years of hands-on experience working primarily with felines, including administering medication and reading subtle behavioral cues to adjust my care to each pet’s comfort level. I’m calm, patient, and highly attentive, which is especially important for shy, senior, or medically-needed pets. I also have experience walking dogs and regularly pet sitting for dogs I cared for frequently, and I’m excited to continue expanding my work with dogs as well. I treat every pet as an individual and focus on building trust so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own space. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m an early bird, so I’m able to accommodate early morning visits, and I work split shifts, which allows me to be available for midday check-ins as well as evening visits. I prioritize flexibility and do my best to work around each pet’s schedule to ensure they receive consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I can follow any special needs medication etc to care for your feline friend properly in the comfort of their home. I am attentive and pay close attention to any changes in your cat’s behavior.

About: As a passionate animal lover, what sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of and commitment to the well-being of pets. Additionally, I have a special affinity for senior pets, ensuring they receive the gentle care and attention they need. My skills also include recognizing and responding to different temperaments and health needs, creating a comfortable and safe environment for all pets in my care. Whether it's administering medication, providing extra cuddles, or tailoring activities based on their age and energy levels, I prioritize their happiness and health above all. Your furry family members will be in loving hands with me! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. And this is the job I chose to make a living from. I love it very much Caring for pets in a home, whether it's your own or a client's, involves several key responsibilities that can vary depending on the type of service offered. Here are some general practices: Feeding: Ensure pets are fed a balanced diet appropriate for their age, size, and dietary restrictions. This may include providing fresh water and following specific feeding schedules. Exercise: Provide regular physical activity based on the pet's needs, which may involve walks, playtime, or engaging in activities that stimulate them mentally and physically. Grooming: Regular grooming is essential, including brushing fur, trimming nails, and maintaining hygiene to keep pets comfortable and healthy. Health Care: Monitor for any signs of illness, provide medication as needed, and keep up with veterinary appointments for vaccinations and check-ups. Safety: Create a safe environment by removing hazards (like toxic plants or small objects) and ensuring the pet has secure access to appropriate spaces.

“This is my first time getting a walker for my 2 nervous pups. So happy I found Veronica…she has a ton of experience & my pups warmed up immediately upon meeting her.”

“Lydia is great! She helped us walk Nova while we were on a trip and had my mom staying with Nova. My mom cannot handle Nova due to her reactivity to other dogs, squirrels, and cats. Normally they would just play in the back but our yard was too flooded to permit it. Lydia jumped in to help on very short notice and in the middle of some crazy weather. She was punctual and took Nova out on a different walk each morning that we needed her. She is communicative, responsible, and took good care of our spoiled princess baby. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a baby. My family had taken in squirrels, ducks and chickens as well as having 2 cats and 1 dog. I am currently a student and I am planning on working to earn money for college. I am only taking in person classes and only work limited hours at a Pilates studio. I have a fenced yard, and a large bay trail only a few blocks away. I have 2 cats that do not bother and 2 very friendly dog.

About: I have had many years of housesitting and dogsitting experience. Staying at peoples houses for around 2 weeks at a time. I have worked with very anxious and timid rescues along with the most friendly and welcoming dogs. I truly love animals and being around them. Being in college I miss my pups more than anything! I am a student and an athlete, but I have plenty of time in between practices and school to take care of any animal necessary. I also work in retail, but if I have longer shifts, I can take care of the animals during my lunch! I am open to walking, keeping up with training, feeding, etc. I love to go on runs with my dogs, play fetch and cuddle. As for home care, I like to keep up with the saying “leave things better than how you found them.” I will definitely keep up with household cleaning. I actually enjoy cleaning quite a bit when I have the time for it, I find it to be an anxiety reliever for me!

About: People usually ask me to watch their cats or dogs or just spend time with them. I truly love animals and being around them! I have volunteered at cat shelters and have had cats my entire life My schedule is pretty open on Saturday and Sunday (usually weekends) so I am able to watch your friends or take them on walks or drop in! I have been walking dogs and sitting cats for the past couple of years for friends and on the WAG! App. Animals must feel comfortable with their sitter, I intend on doing all I can to build that trust!
