Dog Walking Ventura

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for over 20 years. I currently have two dogs that I raised from puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that great pet care requires. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Policies: $15 late fee on drop offs and pickups over 30 minutes past the agreed upon time (unless previously discussed) Please reach out if you need to change the schedule. Thank you! I currently work as a freelance software developer, so I have a flexible schedule with open availability for pet care. This gives me the ability to provide reliable, consistent care and be available for walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs throughout the week. During walks and drop-ins, I prioritize safety by using secure leashing practices, monitoring the environment, and making sure pets have fresh water and plenty of attention. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners know their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to make each visit stress-free and enjoyable while treating every pet like my own.

About: I have always had dogs in my life. From mutts to German Shepards to bully breeds, I love them all! I am comfortable walking and hanging out with any and all friends and will handle all breeds with compassion and the care they deserve I am available any day from 9am to 1pm. I am a stay at home mom so I am available during school hours during the week! I will play and hang out with your friend for however long you would like me there to make them comfortable. I will walk dogs as much as is needed for their activity level

About: I'm new to Rover but NOT new to watching/caring for animals! I've taken care of animals for a long time. I grew up on a farm, and did chores for the chickens, sheep, horses, and of course, dogs! I now pet sit for friends and colleagues' cats and dogs. My husband and I don't have my own animals right now, so we enjoy getting to take care of other people's fur babies. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I like to know your expectations, and make sure you and your pet get exactly what you need! I have watched dogs in my apartment on multiple occasions. The apartment complex is dog friendly, with doggie bags on the sidewalk and a nice little dog park as well!

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old and they were all different sizes. I am a very loving and caring person to the dogs even when they’re not mine. Let me know any concerns or goals you have for your pet. We will also help with potty training and crate training. We would love to assist in any thing available. We’re happy to watch your pet with any medical issues, anxiety, senior pets, etc. & more than happy to provide whatever will be best for yours.

“Alice loves John. When she hears his voice she literally runs to the door. John greets her with a big body rub. He also talks to her. You can tell that he really enjoys doing this job.”

About: I have been an ongoing volunteer at the Animal Defense League of San Antonio since I was about 9 y/o, taking the dogs on walks and socializing the cats and kittens. I have thorough knowledge and experience with raising and fostering kittens, as well as dogs just under 1y/o. I've owned and fostered cats and dogs at varying life stages, throughout my entire life as well. I am well experienced and knowledgeable in animal care and the handling of a myriad of pets and wildlife. While currently also shadowing a very experienced and accredited dog trainer, I am definitely confident in my ability to provide extra care and love for your sweet, fur-babies. Currently, I am in-between jobs, so I as long as I have about a day's heads-up, I'm usually free pretty much any day to care for you furry friend. I perfer to start my work day around afternoon to late afternoon, though morning time isn't a deal-breaker. I want your pet to experience the least amount of stress possible (especially during the first couple visits), so I try to stick to their daily routine as much as I can. For walks, I am quite comfortable walking bigger dogs that may come across as a lot to handle, despite being of a smaller stature. I have experience with training arduous or physically demanding dogs to walk beautifully on the leash also. As for drop-in visits and sitting, I will always stick to the schedule you provide and the safety and well-being of your pet will always be my top priority.

“Thanks so much for getting my pups out of the house for walks while I was gone!”

About: I have been animal sitting since I was in single digits. Now I have my own well adjusted (mostly) fur babies that I care for. Rogue, Kevin, Remy and Bernadette are my world. I take pride in the fact that they are never afraid of a raised hand an have never known a day of starvation. Toys are plentiful in our home, as are warm places to sleep. Lap cuddles are always welcome. I have trained two service dogs, as well as taught many more dogs basic manners. No harsh words or raised voices, but reward based systems instead. I am currently a stay-at-home pet mom, so my schedule is wide open. The only standing obligation I have is church on Sundays, which can be adjusted with notice. Same day requests are doable as long as it is not same day boarding. My schedule is already bent to the will of my own fur babies, I can easily to adjust to whatever you need! I have a fenced in yard, and a single story home for safety. I have my own fur babies: Rogue, my senior cat who minds her own business. Kevin, my senior large dog who is a retired service dog. Then my two year old pups, Remy and Bernadette. Remy is an active service dog, while Bernadette has separation anxiety. In our home no animal is left alone. In boarding situations a private space can be provided for your animal. Kennels and gates are available for separation if needed.

About: My goal is to make sure your babies feel safe and genuinely cared for while you’re away so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a college student with a highly flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I plan my days around their needs whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company. It’s important to me make sure every pet feels loved and attended to while their family is away. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions to help keep their experience as stress-free as possible. I have a dog-friendly yard for outdoor time with plenty of space for crates, cages, or litter boxes if needed. I have multiple rooms available in my home for pets who may need a quiet separate space to gradually get comfortable before interacting with other pets or exploring the home. I understand that every animal adjusts differently, so I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and personality to help them feel secure. I routinely send photo updates for peace of mind!

About: Hi, I’m Jovan! Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve had dogs for over 14 years and can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ve provided pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for a wide variety of pets. From energetic dogs who need long walks to shy cats that need gentle patience, I tailor my care to what each animal needs. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, or special routines — reliability and consistency are always my priority. My background in healthcare and hospitality has made me dependable, observant, and attentive to detail. Those skills carry over to pet care — whether it’s keeping pets safe on walks, ensuring they’re fed on time, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone is caring for your pets. With me, you can trust they’ll be in caring, responsible hands. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you always feel connected. On weekdays I am available after 430! On weekends I'm available before 5pm!

With 14+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles, I’m attentive to each animal’s needs, whether that means giving an energetic pet playtime or creating a calm space for a shy cat. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing updates and photos so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are in responsible, loving hands.
