Dog Walking in Watsonville

“Ky has been wonderful with my two terriers. Some days they are reluctant to go on their walks, but she is patient with them and they really like her. She is punctual, polite and seems to know a lot about dogs. I look forward to engaging her services in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Shawna — Unlike a regular dog walker, I provide one hour structured walk/runs to safely burn excess energy and reinforce calm leash behavior — ideal for high-drive dogs. I specialize in structured walks (working with dogs that pull the leash) and 2+ mile minimum walk/runs to help dogs burn energy and feel calm. I’m comfortable with strong-willed or high-energy pups. Whether your dog needs a peaceful walk, consistent leash guidance, or a good run, I bring calm, confident energy and real experience. Some dogs thrive on variety! If you’d like your pup to enjoy the beach, trails, or a park, I offer 1hr adventure outings starting at $120. This includes transport up to one hour drive time round trip, a safe and fun outdoor experience, and drop-off back home. Extra driving is billed at $60/hr (not including my own commute). Let me help your dog stay happy, tired, and well-exercised. A tired dog is a happy dog. Caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I have a high-energy cattle dog of my own, so daily walks, playtime, and structure are built into my routine. I’m also a runner, so exercising dogs through long walks or runs fits naturally into my schedule — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my days around being active and outside, which makes it easy for me to give pets the time, attention, and movement they need I’m happy to care for pets in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and affection. I’ll respect your space, keep things clean, and communicate clearly while you’re away. I always aim to make your pet feel safe, loved, and calm while you’re gone — and make the transition as stress-free as possible for both of you

About: With 4 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m certified in dog CPR and have multiple dog handling certifications, which means your pup’s safety is always my top priority. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and extra love. I treat every dog like my own, with respect, understanding, and lots of belly rubs! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I currently work part-time as a kennel technician, so I’m already caring for animals daily feeding, cleaning, monitoring health, administering meds, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Outside of that, I make time each week for pet sitting and drop-in visits. My schedule fluctuates so I always try to work my schedule around yours! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In clients' homes, I stick closely to your pet’s routine regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any house rules you’ve set. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own space while keeping you updated with photos and messages. When pets stay with me, they get a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, enrichment, and quiet time to relax. I limit the number of animals I care for at once to make sure each one gets the time and care they deserve. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first, no matter where they are.

About: I’ve had many year of experience taking care of dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, goats, birds, many of my family members would leave for vacation and I’d be the only one taking care of their pets, I had a great time playing with them and feeding them.

About: Growing up all my family have always had dogs so I have years of experience caring for small, medium, and large dogs. I also have two cute cats, both three years old. I can follow strict feeding schedules, I can administer oral or topical medications, as well as walk, play with, and clean after dogs and cats. I am currently taking a break from working a 9-5 position, so I’ll have plenty of time open for pet care in my weekly/daily routine. I currently live in a small apartment with two cats so there’s plenty of toys and trees/scratchers for them everywhere! I can’t currently care for pets in my home.

About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by dogs. From my own, to my family’s. Currently I have two small ones of my own but I love taking care of my boyfriend’s two big babies too. Anytime I visit other countries the dogs always feel safe enough to come close to me. I’m currently a full time psychology student but most of my classes are online. On my free time I would just spend it with my dogs. Therefore I thought of the great idea of walking dogs whose parents have a busy schedule. For my pets I take them on two small walks everyday. For one of them it’s a little longer since she’s 2 (my other one is 9) therefore she gets tired more easily.

I have a completely free schedule at the moment, so I am available for many different kinds of bookings! Feel free to message me as I am most likely available.
