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.

“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!”

“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!”

“Michelle was great!”

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.

“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.”

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: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my fair share of experience with a wide range of animals. I love all kinds of pets, creatures, critters, you name it! I believe all pets deserved to be treated with love and care. I helped raise our family puppies growing up, so I am familiar with potty training and kennel and leash training. I am familiar with strict regimes and medication application if needed. I also am quite strong (not to toot my own horn) but if needed, I am comfortable lifting geriatric dogs no greater than 80lbs. Hi, my name is Maddi and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for dogs. I’m 27 and grew up in San Clemente, CA, where my family and I always had our labs by our side whether it was at the beach, on a hike, or camping under the stars. I am free in the mornings and afternoons for walks, and can squeeze in a beach day if your pets likes to go swimming! My work schedule is dynamic, but for most given days I can dedicate two-three hours for walks, cuddles, whatever else you could need. As an active, outdoorsy person, I know the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and engaged. I have hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I treat every animal like my own, showering them with love, attention, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle session, or a weekend of pet sitting, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I am familiar and have experience training my family puppies, so if needed I can stick with a strict regimen. I will treat your pet with the utmost caution when it comes to walking in public/neighborhoods. I respect that not all dogs/animals are friendly but deserve to be outside as well, so I tend to walk on the opposite side of the street when passing another pet or person. I am also familiar with socialization and reading dog's social behaviors. At home, I make sure to double check that all exists are secured before I leave and that the house is locked before heading out. While I am indoors with pets, I will give them my undivided attention and love, as well as making sure they are well fed and have plenty of water for when they will be left alone. I will do whatever necessary to make sure that you and your pet feel safe and secure, and most of all happy!

About: Hi! I am a pet owner for over 14+ years. Cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, turtles, and fish, I’ve had them. I’m so happy to say that all have lived happy lives with so much care and love from family. Plus tons of my family members are vets so I’ve had the amazing opportunity to meet different animals and learn all about them. This allowed me to understand animals and cater to their needs rather than be confused and let them be. I’ve also taken care of 3 cats, 5 dogs, and 3 kids all at once, so I believe I’m pretty trustworthy and responsible haha. In my house, your animal is like my own and will be given all the love in the world. Regardless, I always put pets needs over mine because they are the special creatures in Life that need all the love and care they can get :)

About: Hello! I'm a professional dog handler with 6+ years of experience at a dog daycare and boarding facility and a lifetime of nonprofessional pet care (Currently own one pup). I normally manage large, mixed groups of 30 or more dogs daily at my day job. This includes hands on-experience for almost all breeds and sizes, from Shih Tzus to St. Bernards! I am confident and comfortable maintaining a safe, fun environment for your furry friends to enjoy while you are away on your next vacation or outing. Both in my professional work and a lifelong passion for animals, I've learned that great pet care is never one-size-fits-all. Many pets thrive with personalized, one-on-one attention, and my approach is always tailored to the individual pet which includes experience with: - puppies - senior care - disabled or special needs - reactive or anxious pets - high energy dog breeds The core of my pet care philisophy is that the best experience comes from three things - trust, transparency, and communication. I'm always happy to set up a meet / greet so we can make sure everyone is a right fit ☺️ I am also an aspiring pet photographer, so if you want me to try to take some high quality portraits of your pets I would be willing to at no extra charge. Note: I am also open to cats or other small animals, upon inquiry. I work at my day job in the late afternoon for a few hours so I have most of the day to hang out with your pawed pals! I am close to all of the fun places a dog loves - the dog park, the beach, etc. Whatever your pet's passions are, we will make a day of it (or multiple days if you want!) I provide the skills and tools to help give you the peace of mind that your pup is safe and in good hands while you're away. My background includes: - Medication administration (No IV) - Proven handling techniques for conflict prevention and de-escalation to keep dogs calm and happy. - Light first-aid (cuts, bites, hot spots, etc.) - Allergy Mediation (food, environnment)

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.

Through various clinical roles, I have gained experience walking, cleaning, administering medication, and providing overnight care to healthy, sick, and senior dogs and cats alike. I have lots of free time for animal care! Now that I am home from college for the summer, I want to be able to continue to spend my time around animals and continue to build my passion for animal care. I have a large fenced backyard and one dog at home. I have lots of experience with dogs and spend lots of time caring for my own, so I’d love some more pups to come join us!

I know how to administer medication and I know how to train the little ones. I volunteered an animal shelter, so I work with all different types of personalities and no task is too big! I am currently on summer break and available all day! I do have work here and there but shifts are no more then 4-6 hours long. I will not be putting pets in my own home, but preferably if I am staying in your home, I would like detailed instructions on how you take care of your fur baby just to make the whole entire experience smoother for them and for me.
