Dog Walking in Upper State, Santa Barbara

“I initially ran into Cheryl at the beach and we let our dogs play for a while before I realized she was a dog walker. I immediately wanted to book with Cheryl after having to gottent to know her and how attentive and friendly she was with the dog she was currently walking. I'm so happy I did! She walks my dog Bailey and does a great job and shows her new places she's never been before! She's very responsive and it's very clear how much she cares and strives for the highest quality of work.”

“Eva was great! She arrive on time and took Peaky out for his walk. He is a big husky so he was panting pretty heavily when he got home so Eva stayed with him until his breathing calmed down and she felt it was safe to leave him. She was in contact with me the entire time. Peaky and I thank you!”

About: As a dog caretaker, I have a passion for caring for and nurturing furry friends. I have always had a deep love for dogs, and my years of experience in the field have taught me how to provide them with the best care possible. From feeding and grooming to exercise and playtime, I take great pride in making sure that each dog in my care receives the attention and love they deserve. One of the most important aspects of being a dog caretaker is understanding the unique needs and personalities of each individual dog. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog who requires extra patience and care, I am dedicated to providing personalized care for each dog in my care. I understand that every dog is different, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable environment that meets their specific needs. In addition to my years of experience in dog care, I am also committed to ongoing education and professional development. I regularly attend seminars and workshops to learn about new techniques and technologies in the field, as well as to stay up-to-date on the latest research and best practices in dog care. I believe that ongoing learning is key to providing the best possible care for the dogs in my care. Above all, I am dedicated to providing a loving, nurturing environment for each and every dog in my care. Whether it's a quick check-in or a long-term stay, I take my role as a caretaker seriously and am committed to making sure that every dog receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. I believe that dogs are truly special creatures, and it is an honor to be able to care for them and make a positive impact in their lives. As a remote worker, my schedule can be unpredictable at times. However, I am committed to providing the best possible care for the dogs in my life, which is why dog day care is such an important part of my routine. By enrolling my furry friends in a reputable dog day care facility, I am able to ensure that they are receiving the socialization, exercise, and attention they need, even on days when I am tied up with work obligations. This not only benefits the dogs, but it also allows me to focus on my work with peace of mind, knowing that my pets are being well-cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. Additionally, dog day care provides a valuable opportunity for my dogs to interact with other dogs and people, which helps to promote healthy socialization and prevent behavioral issues. Overall, dog day care is a vital component of my schedule as a remote worker, as it allows me to prioritize both my work and my beloved furry companions. Having a fenced yard and providing constant supervision, coupled with love, is the ideal environment for dogs. A fenced yard provides dogs with the freedom to play and exercise in a safe and secure environment, while constant supervision ensures that they are always being looked after and protected from potential hazards. This combination of factors promotes both physical and mental health, as dogs are able to engage in their natural behaviors while also feeling secure and loved. Furthermore, the bond between a dog and their caretaker is strengthened through constant supervision and affection, creating a positive and trusting relationship. Overall, a fenced yard and constant supervision, combined with love, provides the best possible conditions for dogs to thrive and lead happy and healthy lives.

“Kathy is amazing, and I always go with her for dog walking/sitting needs. Flexible, kind, trustworthy and responsive. Best of all my dog loves being with her!”

“Ina has walked my dog, Indy, for the past three years. Indy and I truly love our walks together but there are days when work makes that impossible so we call on Ina F. The second Ina shows up, Indy races out the door without hesitation with a huge smile on my face. It makes me so happy knowing that he is off on a great adventure with someone who truly cares for him and his safety, and someone Indy truly loves. Ina always takes him to different places so the walks stay fresh and exciting. Indy always comes back to me safe, happy and ready for a nap. We absolutely love Ina like a family member. She is sweet, loving and conscientious. Ina has never canceled or failed to show up on time. She is dependable. I would never hesitate to recommend Ina for any of your pet needs. Ina is simply the best.”

“I have known Katie for almost 20 years and for as long as I can remember she has always had pets and has loved and cared for them as if they were her own children. I am very particular for who watches my dogs and when I do need a pet sitter she is my first call. When she does care for them, she treats them as if they were her own pets. She follows their schedule and the instructions I give her very closely. If she has questions she doesn’t hesitate to reach out and clarify. She is one of the most loving and caring individuals I know and I know will treat your animals with the love and respect that they deserve!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, back home I have four dogs, one beagle, one husky, one labrador and one border collie so I know how to take care of different breeds. I've also had my neighbors, friends and cousins rely on me to care for their dogs, feed them, take them on walks and play with them. I really love dogs and I miss my dogs every single day! I am a full time student but I have a flexible schedule. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on the mornings from 6-10 and after 3pm, and open availability whole weekend! I am always on the look out for them and take them on walks/play with them. I can crate them if needed and also feed/take medicine if needed.

“Thank you, Cara! I am so grateful.”

“Rebecca is very compassionate and responsible when caring for our dog. She has been around dog her whole life and our Maddie loves her !!”

“Mykenzie is friend of a friend who has taken care of my dogs many times when we go out of town or just need them walked. I own 2 Maltese's and 1 Doberman and Mykenzie is the only girl I know that can handle all 3 without issues! But she is great and watches the dogs for a couple of my friends too with no issues.”

“We recently booked our dog Milo through Rover for a weekend stay, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. From the moment we dropped off our dog, it was clear that Daisy was both experienced and caring. Milo instantly felt at home, and Daisy kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which made us feel at ease while we were away. It was great to see Milo so happy and well taken care of, whether they were on a walk, playing with toys, or just lounging around. When we picked up Milo, he was calm and content, a sure sign that they had been in good hands. The entire process was smooth and worry-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Daisy again in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Aariah is such a loving and responsible caretaker. She definitely has a gentle way with animals, and I would never hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“James was great for Apache. He was on time, communicated throughout and sent me lots of photos which I appreciated very much. James even went out of his way to take Apache for a few car rides (with my permission of course) for different walk destinations. Overall James has been amazing! I will definitely get James to walk Apache again and recommend him to anyone.”

“Wendy is the best pet sitter I've ever experienced. She is an animal whisperer and treats all animals with the love and respect they deserve. Wendy has dog sat for two of my dogs (big and small) in the past couple of years and both of my dogs have adored her. She's ultra responsible and full of fun ideas for keeping my dogs happy when I'm out of town. I can't recommend her more highly. Liz L. Santa Barbara”

About: My family home had every kind of rescue dog under the sun: puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, disabled dogs, giants, and pipsqueaks! I’ve fed, walked, and played with them all. I currently work for myself part-time which leaves me with pretty open and flexible availability. I am willing to work out a schedule that works for both of us. I provide attentive and personalized care for your pets in the comfort of your home, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you're away. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, walking, and playtime, making sure your pets' routines are maintained. I am happy to spend extended time with your pets, staying late in the evening and returning early in the morning to ensure they get the attention they need. However, I typically do not stay overnight, as I find this allows me to keep both your pets and myself well-rested and ready for a fun day together. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well-cared for during each visit.
