Dog Walkers in Somis, CA

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, so I have years of experience with animals of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to older pets who need extra patience and love. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I’ve raised them since they were young, so I understand the attention, training, and care every animal needs. I’m an athlete and love going on walks, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs or take long, leisurely strolls with older pets. I’m also comfortable handling feisty or shy pets, and I always focus on building trust, keeping pets safe, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I treat every animal like family and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m willing to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure your pets feel cared for, safe, and comfortable. I just finished school and currently work as a waitress for about 4 hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I’m looking to spend those off-hours doing something I genuinely love caring for pets. My schedule is really flexible, so I’m able to fit in walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day and week. Whether you need regular visits or last-minute help, I’m happy to make it work around my shifts. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or extra cuddly and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. I also respect your space by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. When caring for pets in my own home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and explore safely. My dogs are kept in my garage during visits so your dog has full freedom to roam in the yard or, if they are an indoor dog, stay inside the house comfortably. I already have two dogs and a cat, so I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels safe and happy. Walks, playtime, and lots of love are always part of the day. No matter where your pet is, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, happy, and loved just like they’re part of my own family.

“Trevor took excellent care of our 75lbs dog while we were away. He kept her food and water bowls full, gave her meds daily and took her on 2 big walks a day. Would definitely contact him again the next time we need someone to take care of our dog!”

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.

“Curt is awesome, both our dogs took to him immediately, and I had zero worries about them while we were away! I appreciate Curt’s “can do” attitude—such a relief because many part-time dog walkers have schedules that are super limited. Plus, he has a great sense of humor!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have years of experience working with large dogs with anxiety and high energy, especially German Shepherds. I have been trained in reconditioning and desensitization training for anxious/traumatized dogs. I also love working with small and medium dogs. I am very attuned to the body language of cats and dogs and am attentive to their nervous system to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I’m currently working part time and my schedule is very flexible. I can also do most of my work remotely so I can be with your pets even more. I can be available most days and nights. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whatever that may look like. I know that when you are away, that can be more stressful for your pet so I try to do whatever I can to make your pet more relaxed and happy. If I am house sitting overnight, I will clean any dishes I have used, launder any sheets or towels if I am able and generally leave a tidy space for you to return to.

“Marcie is amazing, kind, calm, and my Valentina loves walking with her.”

“Jennifer really helped me out when I was in a pinch. She took great care of my dog. She walked the entire 30 minutes and made sure he had water before she left. I plan to use her again in the future.”

Kevin B.

“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.”

Ashley B.

“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!”

Melissa L.

“Maureen has been wonderful to our Frankie and we cannot wait to use her services again in the future.”

Alicia T.

“Cameron is great with my giant puppy! He’s a lovebug, but has no idea he weighs 160lbs. He can be slobbery and can be a lot. She’s very comfortable with big breeds. I will definitely be using her again.”

About: We're an animal-loving family, offering calm, reliable care for animals of all ages and sizes. I was mom to a Belgian Malinois her whole life and grew up with cats. While we can't have pets of our own right now, caring for others' furry friends is our happy compromise. My schedule is flexible. I work from home full time, 5 days a week and can therefore provide regular potty breaks, stimulation, and cuddles as needed. There is also a dog park and facilities to wash dogs 500 feet from my home. Whether you have high-energy dogs that need regular exercise and stimulation, or low-key cats or dogs that just want naps and cuddles, I adjust to meet the needs of your furry friends. If you're comfortable, I can take your doggy on short, local hikes or adventures. Or ride around town as my errand companion. If you have more low-key dogs or cats that just want a quiet, calm place to relax and receive snuggles, my home is just the place for peaceful decompression.

About: Does your dog like casual strolls through parks? Me too! Do they like going to beach and dipping in the ocean? Me too! Or do they like snuggling on couch and watching Gardeners World & Northern Exposure??? Me too!!! Let’s be friends!!! 🥹❤️ I have had dogs and cats and other pets mostly my whole life. I have a lot experience caring for friends and family dogs, such as Labradors, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, Chow-chows, Bichons, Mastiffs, and other mixes. Now that I currently have free time, I would love to care for yours. I have lived with roommates with dogs from Bulldogs, Pitt-bulls, Boxers to Pomeranians. I worked and lived many years on a farm where taking care of three Rottweiler farm dogs at the same time was part of the job description. It did not seem like work at all, because farm life with dogs is absolute bliss. I have an interest in learning about the holistic approach when caring for my dog. I want her to have the most optimal life in the most natural way. I admire Juliette De Baïracli Levy a lot and am currently learning about her work with animals. My approach is friendly yet stern enough for the big furry friends. I love big dogs as I have had lifelong friendships/experience with many Rottweilers and an entire littler of Labradors who are now Seniors. When I was caring for the dogs on the farm, two Rottweilers came as puppies while I was caring for another who was middle to eventually Senior. I would give the Senior medicine. And eventually one of the puppies grew up and got sick and needed medicine too. I believe the Rottweiler is my spirit animal for they always magically show up in my life. <3 My current dog is a big German Shepherd Cattle dog mix, sweetie girl. She is two years old and acts like a big puppy. She is curious with high energy. She is very cute and smart so she tries to test limits, but overall thrives to be a good girl. It makes me proud when I get positive feedback from those that meet her. I am currently working part time as well as studying which allows me to very easily fit in pet care every day in my routine. I am currently unable to share my home for boarding care. I’d be happy to care for them if they need someone present for overnight stays.

About: My 400+ hours of experience training shelter dogs make me the perfect caretaker for any breed of dog. Every interaction we have with our dogs teaches them something and I’m dedicated to teaching them the skills they need to be successful: impulse control, leash manners, and confidence. I tailor my sessions to the dog in front of me: their mood, personality, breed, health, and confidence. Seniors, reactive dogs, bullies, giant breeds, pullers, fearful dogs, jumpy, mouthy, and more all okay — I’ll walk anything! I’m a college student freelancing and running a jewelry business between classes. My days are flexible. You can see which days and times I’m free on my calendar. Free on holidays, sometimes with extra charge. For in-house visits: I bring to your home only items you’ve approved: you must let me know if your pet has any food allergies or tendencies to eat certain toys. I can walk your dog, offer training sessions, and give food enrichment like puzzle feeders and lick mats for dogs and cats by your request. I can send in pictures and video. My experience with a variety of cats and dogs has taught me how to read body language and meet an animal where it’s at. For dog walking, I like to bring treats to build and maintain your dog’s obedience on leash. If this is something that aligns with your goals for your dog, I can use your treats or my own (in which case you must inform me of any allergies or intolerances). I strive for a 15 foot distance between the dog I’m walking and any other animals.

I take great pleasure in making your best furry friends feel safe and loved! Your pets are my clients too!

About: I have been caring for fur babies for 6 years. I started watching dogs because my little girl at the time was terrified of dogs. I knew the only way to help her overcome her fear and learn to read the cues of dogs was to work with them one-on-one. We started with one fur baby and have since welcomed many beautiful fur babies who have become part of our family. We will treat your babies like family, and they will live their best vacation life with us. We document daily with pictures and videos so you can feel like you are a part of their days. We have also taken care of senior dogs and puppies. We look forward to taking care of your babies and meeting you all! As of now, pet care is my primary job. I take care of many babies, and they require a lot of my attention. If we go somewhere and they are small enough, we take them on outings and put them in our doggy stroller. Bigger dogs, if events are pet-friendly and the parents agree, we take them with us. We also love to take them to the dog park and on walks. I have a fenced yard. I do not have a pet of our own. When we do drop in care, we are very respectful of your home. We follow all directions given and make sure to keep you updated on your pets care.

About: I have been house and petting sitting for over 25 years. I have cared for every type of animal you can think of! I have mostly cared for dogs, cats and smaller animals, however, I also have extensive knowledge when it comes to large livestock animals. I grew up participating in a club called 4H where I raised lambs and pigs. I have also had several job opportunities working for dog obedience trainers and breeders doing handler work and even some show training. I have had many clients over the years, many of whom I’ve been with for 10+ years. I grew up with dogs in the house but, for the last 20 years this has been a cat domain! My last cat Sugar was with me her entire life. I rescued her from the street and had to learn how to bottle feed her and everything else that comes with a newborn kitten. I feel very privileged I got to spend her 17 years with her. Now I have 3 rambunctious boys taking over this house but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I would love the chance to get to know you and your fur family, I assure you they will be in the best of care. I am not currently working a 9-5 job so I can provide any care needed, anytime you need it! Schedule is open to new clients! Your pet is my priority, I want to a make sure the time i spend with your pet works out best for them. I have small fenced-in yard with a very high height. I have a crate set up in a spare room or your pet can roam freely if you choose. I can provide many other services around your home should you need additional care. I very much enjoy spending time with animals in their own environment, I want your pet to feel safe and assured when you are unable to be home.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I’ve lived with animals my entire life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and I understand their routines, personalities, and needs. I own cats, and many of my friends have dogs and cats that I’ve helped take care of, giving me hands-on experience with different temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I care for my own pets every day, which includes feeding, cleaning, playtime, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. I plan my schedule around pet care, so I’m used to being consistent, on time, and attentive. Because of this, it’s easy for me to fit pet sitting, walking, and check-ins into my routine and give each pet the time and care they need. I care for pets by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home or a client’s home, I provide fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, litter box or cleanup care, and lots of attention. I respect the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and house rules. I always keep the environment clean and make sure pets are supervised and never left feeling stressed or ignored.

About: I have taken care of pups all different sizes, ages, and energies! I love being active with dogs, or just sitting on the couch while watching Disney movies too (Pets is a favorite of course). Making sure dogs feel comfortable and safe is always my main priority! I am a freelance news producer that works from home! Whether you need me for a potty break, play time, or a walkie I’m there! I am very cautious while caring for pups and will follow the directions you leave me in your home TO A T. I have a 6 month old golden retriever puppy named Lewie at home and I’m always watching him to make sure he’s safe! I’ll do the same for yours too!

Whether your dog wants long walks, playtime, or just a cozy companion to hang out with, I’m happy to match their vibe and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away 🐾 I work night shifts, which means I’m home during the day to give your pets lots of attention, care, and supervision.
