Dog Walkers in Solvang, CA

About: Since a very young age (about 5+), I have been taking care of a myriad of animals and learned animal body language from them. It was incredible and I learned a lot of valuable skills from them. After that, I took up teaching myself how to train dogs (plus puppies and cats) with positive training methods. It was a lot of fun and very rewarding to see how they engage, come together with themselves, and gaining a more fulfilling life. And now I am offering pet sitting! I have a lot of time and availability to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. *Note: Puppies must have had all 3 of their puppy shots in order for me to accept. I work from home so my schedule is very free and available from short to long stays. Perfect for people who love to travel or need consistent daily routines for their pets. I care for my client's home with respect and great care. I like to keep things clean and feeling good for everyone. The pets I will be a good friend to, treating them with kindness, play time, exercise if needed, and being consistent with their desired routine.

“Katrina has been so patient with my dog who does not do well with strangers. She has been understanding and doesn’t push her boundaries. I am so grateful our family found her :)”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love caring for them like they’re part of the family. I’ve helped watch over pets for friends and relatives whether it’s daily walks, feeding, giving fresh water, or lots of belly rubs! I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. I always try to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel happy and relaxed while their owners are away. I know how important routines are, and I’m careful to follow any specific instructions to keep your dog safe, healthy, and comfortable. I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week. I attend school from 8 AM to 12 PM, Monday through Thursday, and work part time on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. That means I’m fully available Mondays and Wednesdays after 1 PM. Friday’s through Sunday I am available all day every other week. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure they’re in a calm, secure, and pet friendly environment, whether we’re on a walk or visiting their home. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and behavior, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations. I follow all care instructions carefully and communicate clearly with pet parents, sending updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I treat every dog like family and work hard to earn their trust and keep them happy.

About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.

About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs. I have been petsitting and walking dogs for over 10 years. As well as on going three years experience working at a Veterinary Hospital. I believe that it is important to take each dog's individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. I enjoy any kind of interaction I can get! I have a 10 year old Yorkie at home who loves to play fetch and goes wild with the word "walk". He provides me with lots of cuddling and laughs. My goal for every pet is to make them feel loved, cared, and appreciated for! I am currently working part time, so i'll have plenty of time playing with your pups! My hours are very flexible and I am easy to contact just shoot me a message. I am always aware of pets getting out so I make sure leashes are on and gates are closed before letting pets out of the house.

I have two doggies of my own so I am very precise with timing. I will follow the owners instructions exactly as said and take numerous pictures through out the visit. I offer carefulness, love, dependability and flexibility for your fur babies!

About: Animals are my Spirit Animals. I like animals more than most people. If a dog doesn't like you, I'm not sure I can like you. Most cats like me. All kidding aside, I am thoughtful, caring and connected to animals. I have had dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, fish, turtles, tortoises, chickens, ducks and frogs in my past. I currently have an 11 year old beagle that is my wingman. I have helped with senior dogs and cats. I have basic puppy training skills. And I have been a pet "first responder" to bobcat attacks in our area. I know the best places to walk dogs, the best ways to keep foul safe and the way to most animals heart. I look forward to helping you and your favorite pet enjoy vacations or a day away from your home. I am a yoga instructor and I have a cold pressed juice business I teach a couple of classes a day giving me plenty of time to spend time with your animals! I believe we can work together to create a safe, fun and loving environment for your pets whether I stay at your place with them or they need to come to my place we will work together to create the best situation possible for your furry, feathery, scaly or hairy family member while you are away.

About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my family ever since second grade when I presented a book of poems titled "I Love Dogs" to my parents begging them for a furry friend. I then started dog-walking and pet-sitting as soon as neighbors and family friends would have me. All these years later, getting to know dogs of all shapes and temperaments brings me as much joy as ever. I'm currently working a flexible schedule and am available to fit pet-care in most days. We can work together on a routine that works for both of us. I have a lot of experience dog and cat-sitting for pets of all different breeds and personalities. I am comfortable accommodating different homes and pets according to my client's particular needs.

About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!). My heart is big, and I’m a sucker for all creatures. I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption. With a flexible work schedule, I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m physically fit and active, enjoying hiking and beach outings, but I’m just as happy to chill if that’s what Fido or Fluffy prefers. As a homeowner, I can ensure a stable and safe environment for your pets. I am comfortable with special dietary needs and have experience with litters of puppies and elderly dog care. I’m not afraid to get dirty and have administered insulin shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m not squeamish about medical needs either. I promise to love your fur baby as much as you do! Currently, I work from home part-time, offering me full flexibility and availability to meet your needs with a little notice. I’m all about pets and snuggles, and I will always ensure that any special needs or requests you have are taken care of to the best of my ability! I work from home part-time, with my little one in school and shared custody, allowing me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs with a little notice. Whether it's an active day of play or a cozy snuggle session, I'm here to provide loving care for your furry friend. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving space with constant supervision and attention. At your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring comfort and consistency. I am experienced with special dietary needs, medical care, and providing a safe, engaging environment tailored to each pet's needs.
