Dog Walking Somis

About: Hello. My name is Veronica. I live close to Pleasant Valley High School in Camarillo. I took a break from dog sitting, walking, etc. the past several years as my job required me to be out of town in office on several days. My office work has since changed. I now work only part time (gradually easing into retirement) and work remotely from home. When my beloved Dexter passed away, I rescued my current dog, Dakota. Unfortunately, due to his traumatic start in life, he does not get along with other dogs; therefore, I can no longer watch other pet parents' dogs in my home nor can I stay overnight in their homes. However, I am available to dogsit during the day in your home and also walk your fur babies. I do love to be outdoors. I am an enthusiastic animal lover (the reason for my vegetarian lifestyle). I especially love dogs. I am very active. I regularly hike trails and walk daily. I will text or e-mail you constant updates including photos of your loved one(s) while in my care. About this sitter: I am a passionate animal lover.......the reason I am a vegetarian. I especially love dogs and could not imagine life without at least one dog in my family. I love being outdoors and lead a very active lifestyle.....canyon hikes, beach walks, and neighborhood walks/jogs. My current best friend, Dakota certainly keeps me moving! I have had at least two dogs in my family my entire life....and as many as four dogs for many years. My last two senior dogs passed away several years ago, leaving me with only one dog, my Boxer, Dexter, who then passed away almost 3 years ago due to advanced heart failure at age 11. Within a month later, I rescued Dakota, a labrador. I couldn't imagine my home without at least one dog sharing it with me.

“Kathleen cared for my elderly pitiful 2-3 times a day for over a month after it had surgery. She was very reliable, communicative and great with following postponed instructions and caring for our dog.”

“I’ve been using Nancy for my pets for years so I was really excited when she joined Rover. She’s very reliable and I trust her wholeheartedly with my pets to know that what I ask will be done right the first time! My dog and cat both adore her and get so excited when she comes over!”

About: I have been boarding and caring for animals through Rover for almost 6 years. Due to my recent move, I am unable to accomodate boarding in my unit. However, I am available to walk your puppies or drop in to check on them. I have experience with all kinds of breeds and temperaments. Let me know how I can help! My dogs and I love to take long walks around the neighborhood and love to explore the outdoors through hiking. I work a full time job but always make time for my pups. Let me know what your pups routine is and I will make it happen. I can also take care of any special needs that your pup may have.

About: I raised a puppy through her senior years and took care of my neighbor’s dogs (walks, check-in visits, and overnight stays) for many years I’m a full-time graduate student taking evening classes Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available mornings on those days and have full availability the other days of the week and weekends. Having lost my senior dog last year, animal companionship is really important to me and I welcome any opportunities to make some new furry friends :) I am currently living in an apartment and unable to host overnight stays, however I am offering dog walking and check-in visits to client’s homes

“Michelle was great!”

“Super nice & trusted! Would recommend Melissa to watch anyone’s pet! My dog was scared at first, but Melissa was patient and made sure Olive was able to warm up to her before walking her!”

Abby P.

“This was the second time I had Sierra review my dog, Bodhi. She was on time, came on short notice, and sent a pic of my dog chilling on his blanket. Very happy with her service and would recommend her to anyone.”

Clair L.

“Natalie was great! She took good care of our pup while we went out to breakfast. She gave him lots of attention and pets (evidence shown as she was covered in dog hair😂) She was communicative and respectful. I would recommend her if you’re ever in the area.”

About: Helped take care of a geriatric dog who was incontinent and lost the use of her legs in the last year of her life. I have had animals in my home all my life, from dogs, cats, birds, and lizards. I usually work a couple of days a week for half days at Michaels. I am available for check-ins most mornings and in the afternoons. I live in a condo with tons of space for running around. I have two of my own cats, and any boarders would have to be fine with them. My cats have their space. I respect any habits and boundaries you have at your house for your pet. I can brush and clean up after the pet, and play their favorite game.

About: I am 28 and have had animals my whole life I grew up always having dogs and I love them so much. I have helped birth puppies, fixed hurt paws or any injuries. I have always love helping care for animals my grandma taught me those skills and the love for all animals.

I am available all nights right now. Anytime after 230 I go to barber school 5 days a week 8:30-2:30 Tuesday thru Thursday and Friday n Saturday 8:30-4pm thanks

About: I’ve gotten my first dog when I was 4 and ever since we’ve increased our family with two more. When I was small I created my own business and took care of dogs from loved ones and friends. I am a lover to all sizes and breeds and will not say no to any pupper. I am a part time student and employee, but mornings and weekdays I am usually always open. I will make time for your puppers as I humanly can. I have a wooden and brick fence that goes higher than my head. We have multiple places for our dogs to go potty and I also have a really nice and big park with lots of grass for those zoomie times our dogs always have. I am currently self-employed through Rover and have the time to care for your loved one! As long as there is communication and mutually agreement with your companion’s care, then we’ll have an outgoing time. I personally won’t be accepting any care for your companions at my house due to spacing and limited room, I apologize for the inconvenience.

About: If I had to add up all of the walks and ball throws in my lifetime, so far, it would probably be in the millions. I have had many pets over the years and I have cared for pets of family and friends since I was 7. I am a very compassionate person. I have experience with all types of animals: birds, reptiles, amphibians, spiders, rats, cats and dogs, just to name a few, the list is very long. Animals of all life stages are welcome with me. I am Pet First Aid certified. I even have experience caring for animals with special needs. Pets are part of the family and should always be treated with love and affection. If you choose to work with me, I can assure you, your pets will be in the best care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I work from home and enjoy having animals as part of my day. I have the flexibility to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship while working around each pet's individual needs and schedule. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and feel that caring for them is a rewarding part of my everyday life. I believe pets feel happiest and most secure in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. When caring for your animals, I focus on providing patience, love, and attentive companionship while keeping their daily routines as consistent as possible. Whether it's feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply being there for them, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved animals are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I have gained lots of skills in my profession working at shelters and animal hospitals. For both, I was responsible for feeding, cleaning and grooming all the animals we housed. Even vet care if needed. So no need to worry, nothing will come to a surprise for me! I’m currently working at California Wolf Center. My time is partly taken however I am willing to alternate my schedule to whatever suits your calendar best! I have a fenced yard and a home that is open to the dog/puppy. I do have two fur babies of my own that love to play with new friends, however my attention would be fully focused on yours to ensure they are enjoying themselves while they stay with us.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dogs, two cats, and fish, and I’ve also cared for birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits throughout my life. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routines. As a mom of two young children and an educator, I’m patient, responsible, attentive to details, and great at following instructions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind! I work part-time as a tutor and caregiver for an adult with special needs, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work best for their pets’ routines and needs. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I’ll do my best to provide dependable, attentive care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s day! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and feel comfortable while you’re away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, respecting each pet’s boundaries, keeping doors and gates secure, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, give your pets plenty of attention and affection, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, trustworthy hands.

About: Hi Im Reese, a recent graduate from IU with a degree in Animal Behavior. I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, turtles etc and in college, I got to work in a doggy daycare in which I cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. I also volunteered as an animal care intern at an animal rescue and adapted care to animals with disabilities. Open to taking care of any pets and excited to make fury friends! I am currently living at home over summer after graduating from IU. I plan to be here with full availability until August, and am hoping to fill my schedule with lots of time with wonderful pets. I have a fenced yard and a fenced off pool, and lots of backyard space. I live in a two story home with plenty of space and am able to spend several hours a day with pets. My sister has a cat that stays in her room and I will keep any pets away from the cat (even though she is a sweetheart and would do no harm)

About: I have been taking care of a variety of dogs over the last ten years. I have been able to give love to puppies, animals in their last months of life, and even three legged friends. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, hikes, playing fetch, and interactive enrichment games. My schedule as a substitute teacher gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week. I typically work anywhere from 2-4 days Monday-Friday, usually from around 8 AM–3 PM, so I have plenty of availability before and after school, as well as on days when I’m not teaching. I love being active, spending time outdoors, and being around animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to fitting into my routine. Whether it’s a walk, time to play, a drop-in visit, or house sitting, I’m happy to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need! I always start by learning each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Most importantly though, I follow the owner’s instructions closely. My goal is to make the pet feel like nothing has changed, even though their owner is away. For walks and drop-in visits, I enjoy getting to know each pet and finding fun ways to keep them happy and engaged. Depending on their personality and energy level, that might include going for a walk, playing fetch, trying interactive games, spending time outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection. I like offering more than one way for pets to get their energy out while also making sure they have everything they need before I leave. For house sitting, I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, play, and bedtime routines while keeping them company and making sure the home stays clean and secure. Since every pet is different, I’m always happy to adjust my care to their individual temperament, preferences, and needs.

“Victoria is one of a kind. Always has our pups best interest in mind. Extremely patient with our high energy dog and he absolutely loves her. Could not recommend enough!”

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and believe pets are family members deserving of dedicated, thoughtful care. Since the age of 12, I have had cats of my own and have regularly provided comfort and care for friends' and family's cats as well, giving me years of hands-on experience with feline behavior and needs. In 2020, I helped raise my family's golden retriever from puppyhood, managing crate training, obedience training, daily exercise, grooming, and all aspects of routine care. She turns 7 in January 2027, and I have supported her needs through every stage of life. I recently provided care for a 17-year-old small dog with heightened attention needs and separation anxiety, ensuring he stayed comfortable, calm, and well supported. I also share my home with two cats, ages 4 and 1, which has given me ongoing, daily experience with animals of varying ages, temperaments, and energy levels. When you entrust your pet to me, you can expect a consistent routine, attentive supervision, and regular photo updates so you always know how they are doing. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to build pet care into my everyday routine. I'm available Tuesday through Saturday for at-home care, both day and night, so I can be attentive to feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs throughout the whole day rather than just squeezing visits in around a fixed schedule. This flexibility also means I can respond quickly if a pet needs extra attention or company. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routine closely, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and engaged, while providing attentive companionship, especially for anxious or senior pets.
