Dog Walking Upper State

“Aimee is awesome. My dog, Tico, loved her. She is very friendly, reliable, consistent, mature, punctual and a good communicator. She walked Tico for me each day for almost 3 weeks due to foot surgery. I would trust Aimee to take care of my dog if I needed to travel, too.”

“Cody is the best dog walker and sitter that I have found through Rover. He's very communicative, clear, and has a calm demeanor with animals. I have a malinois and Dutch Shepherd mixed breed, which can be intense and intimidating at times. Cody had no problem stepping in and walking my dog. I highly recommend Cody and we'll look him again when I have a need.”

“Took great care of Boomer :)”

About: I can't remember a time without a furry friend by my side. I literally came home from the hospital to a wagging tail—my family's dog was my first welcome committee, and that set the tone for my entire life. Over the years, I've been lucky enough to share my home with cats, and have owned two amazing dogs who kept me on my toes and filled every day with joy. Each pet has taught me something new about patience, unconditional love, and the unique personality that makes every animal special. My love for animals extends beyond my own four-legged family. I'm a proud supporter of the Santa Barbara Humane Society because I believe every animal deserves a loving home and compassionate care. Giving back to the animal community is something I'm deeply committed to. When you trust me with your pet, you're not just hiring someone who loves animals—you're connecting with someone who understands that pets are family. I treat every dog, cat, or critter in my care with the same love and attention I would give my own, because that's what they deserve. As someone who's self-employed, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I recently said goodbye to my beloved companion, and while I'm not quite ready to welcome a new furry friend into my own home yet, caring for other people's pets has been incredibly meaningful. It keeps me connected to what I love most while giving me the chance to shower someone else's best friend with all the love and care they need. I live in a cozy casita with a secure, fenced patio area—perfect for outdoor playtime and fresh air. Since I work from home, I'm around throughout the day, which means your pet gets plenty of companionship and supervision. I'm also an active person who loves getting out, so regular walks to the park, beach, or around downtown are part of my routine. Your furry friend will get both the comfort of a home environment and the adventure of exploring Santa Barbara's best spots.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, routines, and needs. Weather it’s daily walks or overnight visits, i’m confident handling all of your pets needs I am currently unemployed and am home from college for the summer so can devote as much of my time possible to walking, watching, feeding, and living your pets! I pride myself on great communication while you are aware to ensure both you and your pets are satisfied! I can send you photos through the day if that is something you are interested in, and can take into account any special needs your furry friends have.

About: Hi, my name is Basilia, I also go by Juno. I have grown up around dogs all my life. I have experience house/dog sitting for my friends and neighbors in high-school, and even more experience taking care of my families big dogs. Further, I have some experience taking care of senior dogs, as my late Akita spent nearly 5 years on intensive medication. I love playing with dogs, taking them on walks, going to the dog park, and making life good in the safety of their own homes. I’m a student at Santa Barbara City College, but my flexible schedule allows me to spend plenty of time with your animals! I have at least 2-4 hours a day available to spend playing with, walking, or otherwise taking care of your babies. I prioritize pet safety in my care. I listen carefully to your rules about where the animal is/isn’t allowed to go, and can provide intensive support for your animals. I make sure to spend time building trust with the animal using treats or soothing methods upon meeting them, so that they feel safe and comfortable around me.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Having grown up around various breeds, ages, and sizes, I’ve gained the skills to care for everyone from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors. I have experience with at-home training and have been dog sitting and walking professionally for 9 years. As an attentive observer, I pay close attention to each dog's unique personality to ensure they have exactly what they need. Whether your pup thrives on long outdoor adventures or prefers quality downtime and belly rubs at home, I’d love to give them the dedicated care they deserve! I work during the day Monday through Friday, but I have plenty of flexibility to make pet care a priority. Since I only work a half-day on Fridays and can come home during my lunch hour to check in on everyone, your pets won't be alone for long stretches. My schedule is very consistent, so I can offer reliable walks and plenty of quality playtime. Whether it’s a midday visit or long-term pet sitting, I structure my day to ensure your pets get the exercise and attention they’re used to. I’m also a very quick communicator, so you can expect regular updates and photos during our time together! Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Coming from a healthcare background, I am a very attentive observer by nature. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific routine and am highly comfortable following precise dietary needs or medical instructions. Whether I am caring for your companion in my home or yours, I maintain a secure, calm, and supervised environment. I’m very comfortable managing different temperaments from energetic pups who need a watchful eye to shy cats who need their space respected. You can trust that I will treat your pets with the same level of care, detail, and responsibility that I give my own!

“Jenna was prompt in her response and gave Ellie the best walk! Will rebook in the future.”

Lauren E.

“Ashley is very caring and helpful for my dog’s reoccurring walks during the work week. We were able to communicate easily regarding expectations, booking walks, and detailed updates so I knew my dog was being a good boy. She took care of following care instructions and following up with any concerns. Puff was very happy when I got back from work. Will book with Ashley again!”

Jeddson King M.

“Leanna was great! She arrived here on time and the dogs came back tired and clearly had a great time on their walk/outing to the dog park. Extra grateful for her being available for our last minute request. We will definitely use Leanna again in the future :)”

About: I grew up with the responsibility of taking care of my family dogs growing up, so they have always been a big, loving part of my life. As an adult, I have lived with 3 different dogs and have helped raised two from pups. I am always the go-to dog sitter for all my friends when they are out of town since I live a very active lifestyle. I’m always out for walks on the town (or runs) if that is your dogs cup of tea. I absolutely adore doggos and would treat yours as if they are my own! I am a musician in town and work sporadically playing shows on the weekends. My schedule during the week is super flexible as I am home writing/working on music. I run/walk daily and can accommodate these to your pets schedule with ease. I live with my boyfriend in 3 bedroom apartment with a small yard out back. He is also a dog-lover and was as excited as me for signing up for this app! My landlords do not have an issue with there being dogs on property. We are a short walk to the Mission Park in Downtown Santa Barbara.

“Ryan is a great dog walker for all sizes, personalities and ages. Our young puppy adores him! Ryan tires him out and reinforces our training.”
