Dog Walking Summerland

About: I grew up with dogs since the age of 3 and, as an adult had dogs for the past 26 years. I’ve trained three puppies into respectable, loving adult dogs. And my last two dogs I trained as therapy dogs, who visited elder day programs & senior living facilities as part of their service. I work from home as a geriatric social worker and have the good fortune to set my own schedule, which allows for a lot of time for dog walks, trips to the beach & belly rubs. Exclusive access to our fenced in yard, walks in an upscale neighborhood & lots of belly rubs in our beautiful home will be granted. If appropriate, I live a short distance from the beach & beach play dates can be arranged. I have an 8 yr old golden doodle therapy dog, who will be your pup’s guide & playmate. I work as a geriatric social worker from home and make my own schedule so your dog will get loads of attention & the best of care. Sorry, no cats allowed as I’m allergic. With our 1 acre property w a surrounding fence, your dog can explore safely while I sit close. Many belly rub and neighborhood walks throughout the day will be incorporated. I have space for a crate if Clients want to bring one. I also love to snuggle with dogs and allow them on the furniture. If the days are hot I have a puppy pool, A/C & the beach is a short distance away.

About: Caring for animals & the homes they live in is something I take seriously. For more than five years, my family & I have cared for dogs of every age & personality, from energetic puppies to senior companions needing gentle, attentive care. I work primarily from home as a consultant, allowing me to spend much of the day with the pets in my care while maintaining their normal routines. I’m an early riser who values consistency, so feeding schedules, walks, medications, and daily rituals are followed carefully to help pets feel relaxed and secure. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I treat every home with the same care, discretion, and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to return to a peaceful home and a happy, well-cared-for pet, knowing everything was handled thoughtfully while you were away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can travel with confidence.

About: I have taken care of all types of pets since I was a child. i have been adopted by Oliver and Dozer (my rescuers) through KPAL -Kenai Peninsula Animal Lovers. I have Oliver & Dozer a pair of bonded brothers. We are now in Carpinteria, CA and have joined an extended family of pets, Mia (a 12-year-old Sheppard mix, and Buddy an 8-month-old Sheppard mix). We are situated on a large property with plenty of room for our multiple daily walks. I am flexible and am able to work around almost any schedule. We can accommodate for almost any situation. let’s have a discussion and i will adjust my schedule to care for our four-legged friends. I live on 9 acres, and the dogs will stay with me and my rescuers (Oliver & Dozer) in addition to Mia and Buddy. I monitor them at all times. We also take long walks near the home, sometimes visit the dog park, or go to the beach, I live down the road from Padaro state beach in Carpinteria.

“Cheryl has been super great with our puppy, Noxie! Nox is really timid with people but got along really well with Cheryl, she even perked up and wagged her tail the second time. Cheryl is very accommodating of our schedules and has also personally reached out to me to confirm things when my app was having trouble notifying me. She writes really long and detailed reports after each walk and attaches pictures too. We highly recommend Cheryl for dog walking your fur baby!”

“Matthew was absolutely amazing with my dog, Leo, while I was away in Switzerland! He was incredibly attentive and made me feel completely at ease knowing Leo was in such good hands. He sent me lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciated while being so far away, and he was also super flexible and accommodating with my schedule. Leo was happy and well cared for when I got home. I would absolutely trust Matthew with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Brad is absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! They have very different personalities and energy levels—one is young, energetic, and always ready to play, while the other is older and prefers a much calmer pace. Brad does an amazing job balancing their individual needs and temperaments, making it seem effortless! Both dogs absolutely adore him, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. He’s patient, attentive, and genuinely great with animals. I highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker!”

About: I have a lot of love and experience with animals! My family has always loved animals, and I’ve grown up having multiple dogs throughout my life. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love spending time playing with them, giving them attention, and taking them on walks. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and want to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a student at SBCC and currently only have classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, so I have plenty of free time on the other days to care for your pup! I’m able to be flexible with my schedule and would love to spend my free time taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention and care. I’m unable to have pets stay in my home because I live in student housing, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home! I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and they have everything they need.
