Dog Walking South

“Amanda has a lot of patience when it comes to walking dogs — particularly my senior Cushing’s pup who can sometimes be stubborn about her midday stroll. Still, it hasn’t taken much for her to bond with my baby! I look forward to continuing to use her services!”

“Amy is awesome! We have been requesting her for a once a week afternoon walk/lunch for our recently adopted little Chihuahua, Mickey. She is very thorough with her rover cards and takes many pictures during her visit. Very good communication as well. We are still learning Mickey’s personality so I appreciate that she is flexible with his needs. Thank you Amy!”

About: I have had many dogs of my own, cared for them as puppies into their old age. Big and small, from Golden Retrievers to Chihuahuas. I have pet sat many times for cats and dogs. I have a very open and flexible schedule, I am on summer break currently. I am available everyday of the week and weekend, and have reliable transportation and the flexibility for longer stays. I spend quality time with them, play with them, and make sure they are eating, drinking, and exercising properly. Making sure they are happy and comfortable with me.

About: Hi! My name is Maggie, and I’m a junior at UCSB studying biology. I’ve grown up around all kinds of pets and have always loved caring for animals. I currently have two dogs of my own, Baby, a Yorkie, and Lexi, a Golden Retriever. They are definitely opposite ends of the dog spectrum but I love them so much and am very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! I also have previous dog sitting experience and understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m hardworking, energetic, responsible, and detail oriented. I love being outdoors, hiking, and going on walks, so I’d be more than happy to bring your furry family member along for some exercise and adventure. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away! I’m currently home from college for the next couple of weeks, so my schedule is completely open and very flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around whatever schedule is best for you and your pet. Whether it’s walks, dropins, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’d be more than happy to help! I have two dogs of my own who I feed, walk, play with, and care for every day, so pet care is already a big part of my routine. My little Yorkie, Baby, even sleeps with me every night! I’m very attentive to pets’ routines and make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and are always in a safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and will follow any specific instructions carefully so their pet can stay comfortable with their normal routine while they’re away.

“April is amazing! Very kind, attentive, and naturally intuitive dog person. She was communicative and responded quickly to messages. 10/10 would book again!”

About: I grew up with animals, have cat and dog sat for friends for years. I also have experience with fish, lizards, snakes, frogs, etc. I always send pictures and make sure the details are right! Also my name is Alex - Rover won't let me change it ; ) Hi! My name is Alex. I am a writer and filmmaker with a flexible schedule and often work from home. Happy to stop by once or to build a longer dynamic with your pet and create a routine. I always make sure they are comfortable and happy and engaged. How varies depending on the pet! But I like to take it slow and make sure they are comfortable with me and know me.

“Nataly has been walking Pixel for about a month and I can only say good things about her. Pixel is 14 1/2 to so she is labeled “handle with care”. Nataly is caring, reliable, pontual, and very responsive. I can only say good things about her and I’ll keep re-booking her as long as she has availability.”

“Dean is simply the best. Best companion for our pup we’ve ever had or met. Thank you for everything Dean. We are so sad we’re moving away and won’t be in your area anymore. I recommend Dean 11/10—thank you for everything!”

About: Animals have been a big part of my life since I was little! I’ve trained all my dogs with basic commands and often help friends with theirs. Gabby, my sister, helps with me with all sittings and services provided. She is in the process of getting her Biology degree, animals are one of her passions. It is impressive to see her care for the animals and how they all love her. Our dog is now a senior, so we understand the special care and patience older pets need as well. My schedule is flexible since I work remotely, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your dog or cat! I usually take dogs for walks around the neighborhood every 4 hours, but I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs. If I do need to run errands or be out, Gabby will be physically present with your pet until I am back. I treat every pet like my own! Whether they stay at my place or I care for them in their home, I make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe. I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I always give them lots of attention and affection. I also like to send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing

“Kyle is a great dog walker. He provided photos and updates on my pup. I trusted him to give my pup the best care, always looking out for his best interest. I highly recommend Kyle.”

About: I go the extra mile to provide exceptional care for your furry family members. What sets me apart from other sitters is my experiencin senior pet care and my genuine passion for animals. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily life. I prioritize feeding, exercise, playtime, grooming, and bedtime routines to ensure my pets' well-being and happiness always. I offer unwavering love, attention, exercise, grooming, and a safe environment for my pets. Their well-being and happiness are my top priorities to my babies.

“Namie just started walking my dog and she’s been great. My dog liked her immediately. Namie is on time and I appreciate her notes about my dog’s walk. My dog is reactive with other dogs and 65-pounds. Namie has been able to handle her with no problem. Definitely recommend her.”

“This was our first experience with Rover and Diana made sure to make me feel comfortable with explaining to her about the needs of my fur baby. She was very patient and my dog loved her! Which is a plus!”

About: I provide a highly attentive, structured environment where your dog becomes part of the family, ensuring they get everything they need and more. A Welcoming, Social Home: I have a friendly dog who loves company and a daughter who adores dogs, meaning your pet will receive constant affection and socialization. Versatile & Specialized Care: I confidently handle a wide variety of dogs. My experience includes training young pets with positive reinforcement and providing patient, dedicated senior care. Constant Attention: Thanks to a highly flexible schedule, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive consistent supervision, exercise, and tailored care. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, as I have a highly flexible schedule and can prioritize walks, exercise, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day and week. This allows me to be reliable with timing, adapt to pets’ needs, and accommodate both recurring care and last-minute requests. I care for pets in my home by following their routine closely so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get proper exercise and enrichment, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I keep the home clean, handle litter or waste, monitor behavior and health, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.

“Kia did a wonderful job walking our very large Great Dane, Zoey, He took the time to do a meet and greet ahead of the booking and asked lots of questions, so he was familiar with Zoey’s needs. Zoey can be a bit nervous with new people, but she was comfortable with Kia from the start. Would definitely book with him again!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I volunteer at two cat shelters, where I’ve handled everything from feeding and administering medication to socializing shy or nervous cats. At home, I have 6 cats of my own, so I’m well-versed in the daily care, behavior patterns, and little quirks that make each cat unique. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly love spending time with cats and understanding what makes them tick. I work from home and on a super flexible schedule so I have a lot of time on my hands. I love cats and any time I can spend around them is time well spent :) I know cats are creatures of habit so I will try my best to follow your instructions closely and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I know most kitties tend to not be super playful with strangers but I will try my best to provide some entertainment:)
