Dog Walkers in Simi, CA

“Jesika was such a huge help, always showed up with a smile, my puppy was overjoyed to see her and she was very communicative through our time. Would definitely hire her again.”

“Joy has always been great with my dog, Houston and he loves her. She is attentive with him and patient, as he is an elderly dog. I can rest easy anytime I leave him with her.”

“Terri is a responsible, trustworthy and caring person. If you are looking for someone who will show your dog all the love and attention then Terri is who you want. Terri has watched my dog who is an anxious dog however when I drop him off he is eager to be with her. Her natural ability to relate to a dog is amazing. I am so relieved that I can leave my dog with her knowing that he will get the love, attention and exercise that he needs.”

“Lola gets very excited to go on her walks with Heather. She has been great; very communicative, punctual and reliable. We scheduled a meet and greet before our walks and Heather came over and went over everything with us to make both me and Lola comfortable. We can trust her wholeheartedly with our gremlin!”

About: Hi there! My name is Gillian. I have extensive experience with animal care including two years of working at a dog boarding and daycare specializing in dog socialization, experience working at an SPCA in Windhoek, Namibia where I worked with socializing and caring for stray and surrendered dogs and cats. I have experience with special needs dogs (i.e. blind and deaf). I love all things animal and would LOVE to spend more time caring for your dogs and cats! I was laid off recently so my schedule as of now is completely open to care for your pet, I can’t wait to meet them :) I have grown up alongside animals from pigs and goats, to bunnies and snakes, and of course dogs and cats. I love them all and will treat them like they’re my own.

“Nessa and Kiara cared for our little Morkie, Huckleberry, for over 2 weeks. They took very good care of him, letting him out regularly, taking him on his daily walk, and making sure he had his food & water. They were even kind enough to text me pictures. I have total confidence in their ability to care for our pet, and would gladly use them again.”

About: I grew up caring for our family's energetic German Shepard, and numerous pets. I regularly sit for blue healers and an array of cats including two of my own. I understand differences in temperaments, energy levels, and social behaviors to support dogs' unique needs. Your pup is in great hands! I work from home part of the week and I'm able to take on animal care periodically and at set times throughout the week and most weekends. Animals' safety, care, and comfortability are my top priority. I live on a rural property and have a mostly fenced yard - the unfenced portion is surrounded by a creek that serves as a partition. I would never let dogs off leash unsupervised or allow them to be exposed to or engage in any unsafe activity.

“Ronda is a genuine lover of animals. She is very responsible and caring. I never worry when she's got Jake in her care. He is always so happy to see her. I'm afraid he's not gonna want to come home! Her home is the perfect spot for a liitle doggie vacation. ”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was small. Was raised on a farm so have always had a heart for all four legged friends. I available pretty much any time. I work early shifts sometimes but it shouldn't get in the way. I am looking for a long term schedule I have a fenced in front patio. I also have 2 small dogs that live with me that are very friendly they have had their shots and have been neutered and spayed. I take them on several walks a day, they could use the friends

“If Barbara were not a person she would be a dog, or a cat, or a donkey, or a goat, or a duck, or a chicken. Just ask any of those animals that she lives with and they would agree. Probably the highest pet care praise that Barbara can receive comes from the actions of her veterinarian's family. Even though he has his own vet practice and can board his dogs there (probably for free), when they go on vacation they pay Barbara to care for their dogs at her home. Barbara lives in a rural setting with no close neighbors to be bothered by barking, or braying, crowing or clucking. Her property is fenced and cross fenced and has many shelters and feeding stations for livestock animals as well as a variety of large indoor and outdoor spaces for smaller critters. If you only want someone to visit your pet pal and tend to their needs and take them for a walk, Barbara enjoys that too. One of her favorite things to do is to walk through neighborhoods that are new to her so she can enjoy the view of other people's gardens. If I were someone's pet I would be glad if Barbara came to visit me, and even more glad if I got to visit her.”

“Sadie B. is a fantastic dog sitter. We've known and used her for years. She's responsible, lovable, and logical. She is great with small dogs, understanding that they need to be protected and also great with large dogs given their need to exercise. She understands how pet owners feel about their dogs and animals, as she also is a pet owner. She has had puppies and also elderly impaired dogs in her life. She's been the owner/lover of small, medium and large breeds. We love that she understands that our small dogs need to be held and slept with and that our big dog needs to be crated and worked. You will love her.”

“I think she’d be a great walker and sitter. She has grown up around dogs and has had her own dogs over the years. She has had dogs from a puppy to a very old senior dog that was blind and one that needed insulin shot. So she is very knowledgeable. Even if you have a cat too that lives with your dog at home, she’d be able to care of them too. She’s been around cats for a very long time as well. She’d handle your pets with great care as if it was her own.”

“Alyssa loves animals! She is responsible, has so much patience, is so caring and has a knack for understanding their needs. I call her the dog whisperer. When we adopted our current rescue dog, who has many trust issues, Alyssa was the first one to gain her trust. They quickly fell in love with one another and built a special bond that is forever.”

“We loved having Haley walk our pup! She went above and beyond to make sure his needs were met and was excellent at communicating. I would highly recommend her!”

“My dog just loves Danielle and her calm energy. It’s only our second walk and she was sad to see her leave. We’ll be using Danielle again.”

“Emma is wonderful! Zuzu adores her and she has excellent communication with her visits.”
