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.”

Ashley B.

“We LOVE Randi!!! She takes great care of Ruda, even taking her to play at her house with her dogs before it after her walk, if I want. But she always walks her, which she needs for exercise, not just babysits. We couldn't be happier. She is walking her twice a week. I wish I'd found her sooner!”

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

“Thanks so much for accommodating our very last minute request. Jennifer was on time and walked her for the whole 30 mins.Freya was super tired when she got back and we were so glad to be able to get her that walk while we were busy. She went straight to her mini pool to cool off!”

Sandusha D.

“Julie has been a very reliable dog walker. She gives a full detailed debrief and LOTS of pictures which I love! You can tell she loves what she does, and does it well. Thank you!”

Nancy B.

“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!”

Jennifer 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!”

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 been a pet sitter since I was in middle school and have had the pleasure and opportunity to care for many different furry companions! I am no stranger to administering medications and have pet-sat many different dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I have no issue caring for cats and/or dogs that have any sort of deformities, amputations, or just look weird and funky in general. A dog is still a dog and a cat is still a cat, and every pet deserves love regardless of what they look like! I am currently a college student who loves caring for all kinds of fur babies! You can be sure I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens to their hearts’ content! I’m still getting used to how this app works with its settings, so if you have any questions about pricing and scheduling, shoot me a text so we can discuss it! I'm willing to talk things out if you can't initially afford my rates! ¡También soy fluida en español! My clients will always receive the best care that I can give them. Every animal is different and has different needs, and I am prepared to meet them all! I'll be sure to send pictures and videos regularly of me and your pet(s) having a great time! I'm willing to protect your pet(s) as fiercely as you are, and I will happily administer medications and clean up messes! I take great pleasure and honor in making your best furry friends feel as safe and loved as they would if you were there!

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.

“Punctual, responsive, respectful. Was very detailed and listened to directions carefully. Arctic came home extremely happy, relaxed and tiered. We have officially found our dog walker.”

About: Hi! I'm Gabby, a recent CSU Channel Islands graduate with a B. A. in Psychology. I'll be starting my Master's in Counseling Psychology (MFT emphasis) at California Lutheran University this fall. I'm currently looking for part-time dog walking, dog boarding, and drop-in visits that work well with my graduate school schedule. I've loved animals my whole life and began volunteering with Ventura County Animal Services as soon as I turned 18, where I volunteered for about three years. I also started pet sitting in 2019 and have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight house and pet sitting, and boarding dogs in my home. I have two female Labradoodles and two cats, so any dogs staying in my home must be friendly with both dogs and cats. I'm comfortable caring for pets overnight and always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away! Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule while I’m in graduate school, so I’m available for daytime and overnight boarding any day of the week, as well as dog walking and drop-in visits. Since I have pets of my own, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life, and I enjoy making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My two Labradoodles are indoor dogs, but they have access to a large, securely fenced yard where I let them out throughout the day to run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I don’t have a doggie door because my two cats are indoor-only, so all outdoor time is supervised. My dogs are very friendly and love meeting new dog friends, and my cats are comfortable around dogs, so I only board pets that are friendly with both dogs and cats. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. At night, my pets have their own comfortable sleeping routines. My older Labradoodle sleeps with my parents, and my younger Labradoodle sleeps with me. Any dog boarding in my home is welcome to sleep in my room if that helps them feel more comfortable, or I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for them and their owner, such as sleeping in a crate or their own designated sleeping space.

“Curt is awesome. Our very large dog looks forward to his walks with so much excitement. Curt seems to really enjoy him and the feeling is mutual.”

About: I spent my entire life with cats and dogs and I honestly can't imagine a home without them. Over the years, i've cared for everything from newborn kittens that needed bottle feeding to senior cats and dogs who required extra patience, medications and specialized care. I have experience giving oral medications and caring for pets with ongoing medical needs. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I've rescued several older cats and dogs because I believe they deserve just as much love and comfort in their golden years. I know every pet has their own personality. Some are playful and social, while others are shy,anxious or simply needs someone who understands that trust takes time. I will take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you're away. I will take care of them as if they were my own. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax, knowing they're in good hands! I am currently retired, so I have lots of time to devote to you're animals besides my own. I can work my schedule around most days and times. When caring for your pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, trust and keeping their routine as normal as possible. I will carefully follow all feeding instructions, medications, schedules, walking routines, and any special care directions provided by you. I always make sure doors, gates and windows are secure, and I will closely monitor your pet during walks, playtime, and feeding.

“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: 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.

“Amanda was so great with my two goldens! She handled them both very well! She also did a last minute drop in which I booked an hour in advance and she accepted the request right away and was so nice and courteous! Definitely booking her for future visits again!”

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! I have two dogs of my own and am willing to help someone else out around my work schedule. Just let me know what you need. I am no longer able to support boarding dogs in my new unit do to the space. However, I am able to walk and drop in on your puppies.

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.
