Dog Walking Shangri La Estates

“Marissa is fantastic. She’s always on time and takes my pup on different walking routes all the time to keep him excited and interested. She lets him take his time sniffing around and people watching. We’ve already referred her to other neighbors and friends. 100% recommend!”

About: I have sixteen 5 star reviews on Trusted House Sitters (along with my wife Allison who joins me on most dog and cat sits.) We have taken care of dogs of various sizes as well as a lot of cats. We both work remotely which makes us very flexible for pet care. I can work remotely from anywhere on my laptop (part time!) which allows me plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. After my years as a Trusted House Sitter, my goal is to spend most of my time dedicated to caring for animals as they are my passion so they will be my number one priority! I care for your pets in your home, I will be in most of the day working online so they will get plenty of potty breaks and attention. I am always available to contact and will make sure you receive photos and updates multiple times a day.

“Miranda is always prompt, willing to adjust timing if possible, and very good with communications. She really stepped up when I needed help due to an injury. My dog loves his walks with her!”

About: Hi! I'm Seth. and I have over 30 years of experience caring for all kinds of animals. I have returned to California and I am now located in Santa Cruz! I'm comfortable with all dog breeds, all sizes and all ages. I am patient, kind and maintain a tidy, safe, and relaxed environment, caring for your animals and your home, inside and out. I spend my free time volunteering at equine rescues. I live a relatively quiet life, keeping my social circle very small which works well with dedicating myself to providing a full time pet care service. I am also experienced with special needs and senior dogs, and up until very recently, I was a daily volunteer at Starry Skies Equine Rescue and Sanctuary in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I worked to provide gentle, attentive care to horses, mules, donkeys, ponies, goats, pigs and cattle. Dogs & cats are my primary specialty, but I connect easily with all animals. I pet sit as a full time job and I will be seeking equine rescue volunteer opportunities to fill my availability. My availability is generally wide open. I do not have a "regular/day" job. I offer a true, full time pet sitting service. We will start with a 15-30 minute in-home meet and greet. Please provide a printed list detailing veterinary office/phone number, preferred emergency animal hospital, routines/routes, typical walk times and duration, and any helpful reminders that will help me in keeping your dog(s) and other animals safe and happy. A one time demonstration of your preferred feeding schedule/routine is a good idea, so if possible the meet and greet should be as close to this time as possible, allowing me to feed them will start the trust association into my care. Unfortunately, I'm not hosting any animals in my home at this time.

About: My family has always been passionate about giving animals the best possible life & experience that we possibly could. I have owned multiple dogs of different sizes and owned for multiple kinds of reptiles. I have experience carrying for special needs dogs as two of our dogs needed extensive medical care and medication administered multiple times of day as they near the end of their lives. I consider myself to be very calm and respectful of people’s fur babies and home. I’m currently working part time, just 10 hours a week and I spend most of my time when I’m not working doing schoolwork. I’m a local college student and avid pet lover. Im passionate and safety oriented. I’ll spend most of my time caring for your pets and reading my textbooks. I’m a quick learner and can follow any instructions you set for me. I have experience administering medications to dogs as my previous dog required multiple bouts of different medication throughout the day during the end of her life. I also have experience with reptiles and heating requirements and general feeding schedules.

“Shylynn is amazing. I would say highly recommend but I don’t want her to get too found out! My pup SO enjoys his walks with Shylynn. A true gem. So grateful”

“Rachel is a great walker. She has been walking our 2 10 month old GSC pups for about 6 months every day now and has been aiding in training during walks. We definitely reccomend Rachel for her above and beyond efforts, dependability, and character! Keep up the great work and thank you for everything your doing!”

About: I have had animals growing up my whole life. I love all types of animals and love being outside! Whether it’s a dog or a cat or even a bunny, I’ve had experience with them all. :) I am free early mornings, midday between 12-30pm and overnight. I have work from 4-10pm most days but free all day on Mondays and Tuesdays. I currently have no animals living at home. I have a backyard that is fenced off with a grass lawn. I am a quick walk to the beach.

“Isabella was great with my dog Alfie! He’s a big guy and also recently rescued and he instantly loved her. We did the first walk together so she could see the routine and some of his quirks which was really helpful!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. My parents and my sister have dogs that I help take care of and love to take on walks! I don’t have a dog of my own because I’m not allowed to have one where I live but I’d love to get my dog fix through helping take care of yours! I’m currently in the middle of finding a new job. I just moved back home from San Luis Obispo. I’m open weekdays mostly mid mornings. I walk/run down at rio almost everyday and love to stay active. Would love dog friends to join! I have a fenced yard off the main roads. My parents have a golden doodle and a couple of cats that love to run on the property plus it’s a very family oriented and friendly neighborhood.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have watched friend’s, family’s, and neighbor’s pets for many years. I love all animals but have a soft spot for greyhounds, whippets or any sight hounds. I currently work during the weekdays but am available in the evenings and on weekends. I work full time but am available in the early mornings, afternoons, evenings or weekends! I’m based in Aptos so have more flexibility for walks and drop ins if you’re close to here. I’m happy to come to your home to take care of your pets, but cannot host them at my current place. I always treat your home with full respect, and happy to help with other housesitting related things like getting your mail or watering plants.

About: I have had all types of different experiences with dogs from bathing, walking, fostering puppies, and house sitting. I know how to handle leash aggression and bigger/more aggressive dogs. I can do street or trail walking and dog parks. I work part time in hospitality and also pet sit and dog walk. I have a dog friendly car and can get places easily. I am good at scheduling and making time for extra things. I have 2 friendly dogs that I walk daily and throw the ball for down the street. We play with toys like tug of war also with ball toys that they run around the house with.

About: I have pet care experience of at least 8 years, and I really enjoy taking care of pets, they bring me so much joy. And if you need someone who is energetic to take care of your pet, just let me know! I am currently enrolled at UCSC, so I am unable to take care of pets when I have class Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1:20-2:25pm and Wednesdays 5:20-6:25pm. I am also unavailable on Saturdays all day. Other than that, I can fit pet care in between my schedule every day of the week except Saturdays! Since I live in an apartment with roommates who have a dog and a cat, I am unable to take care of pets at my home. However, I can pet sit at anybody’s home! I have experience doing overnight pet sitting without any flaws in making sure they’re fed and that they’ve been consistently played with throughout the day.

About: I have many years of professional pet sitting experience in addition to growing up with pets and caring for family and friends’ animals. I am experienced with small to large breeds, as well as cats, birds and other animals. I am patient and very energetic. I love playing fetch on the beach, going on long walks, hiking, and cuddling at home. I do not currently have a dog or pet of my own so you will not need to worry about your pet getting along with other animals. If I happen to be hosting another pet, I always check with each party before accepting extra clients. I am available to walk dogs several times daily including long walks up to an hour or longer if desired. If your pet gets very dirty from the beach or a hike with me I am happy to bathe them at no additional fee and keep dog shampoo on hand I plan to be with your pet 24/7 while they are in my care unless otherwise discussed in advance. I thoroughly enjoy hosting pets and want them to feel comforted, loved, and entertained. I work part time as a nurse on days I don’t have clients booked. Dogs are allowed on the couch and bed and will be provided with all the snuggling and affection they desire! They have free roam around my one bedroom home. I also have a back patio with a fire pit where we can lounge or play fetch. I’m walking distance to the beach and love taking dogs down to the beach to play or to other nearby beaches for long walks. I play dog videos (squirrels, birds, or other soothing sounds etc) during stays which many dogs seem to be enjoy.

About: I have taken care of animals as long as I can remember. At 12 I raised my first service dog, and since raised another service dog through Guide Dogs of America. I have house/dog/cat/bunny sat for animals of all ages and temperaments. I am excited to meet your furry, or not so furry, friend! I am currently working part time so I will have lots of time to take care of your pups. I am more than happy to discuss scheduling. I am comfortable with many different environments. Personally, I have a fenced in backyard which allows for plenty of outdoor running room. If there are certain things you need done for your dog just let me know.

About: We are an animal loving family and will treat your pup as our own when they come to stay with us. I am a full time mom to my 16 years old daughter and 3 years old English Springer spaniel, Chester. We have enough love and time to give to our prospective "new friends". Our sweet Springer spaniel Chester loves having a buddy to play with. My daughter is a huge animal lover and has a great experience walking multiple dogs. I have been dog owner (from small breeds to large) for several years and absolutely adored every moment with them. We treat dogs as a family members, they are allowed on the furniture and can lounge and sleep wherever they feel comfortable. Our house is located in Live Oak with a walking distance to the Harbor, Arana Gulch and Chanticleer dog park. We have a fenced in backyard to play around in. I am an active person so you can be assured your pup will be well taken care of for exercises. We love dogs dearly and love to spoil them! I will take great care of your dog while you are away and look forward to hearing from you.

About: Growing up, I was lucky to share my life with a wide variety of animals, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Dogs have been a constant part of my life, and they truly hold a special place in my heart. Beyond caring for my own pups, I’ve also had the joy of house sitting and looking after friends’ pets over the years. I’m deeply passionate about animals, and I take the responsibility of their care very seriously. With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I would be genuinely excited and honored to care for someone else’s dog. You can trust that I’ll treat them with the same love, attention, and devotion I give my own. I work from home so I am available to watch your animals any day of the week. This also allows me to provide drop-ins anytime. Because I work from home I can take care of your animal in your home. This helps to ensure they are comfortable in their own space.
