i would have your pets get as much exercise as possible. I would take them to parks and play with them until they are completely satisfied! They deserve the best care and most out of their play time. They would have access to toys and would be in a safe environment to run and play, possibly with other dogs as well unless otherwise requested.

My walks vary depending on the dog. If the dog is active and energetic, I will take the dog for a longer walk. If the dog is slower or elderly, I will give the dog a shorter, more leisurely walk and more pampering time. I am also comfortable with walking multiple dogs at once.

I love dogs so combining activities like running with them, throwing a ball, taking them to the beach, into the water, to the parks for some leisure walks would be ideal for me. Of course, will respect the owners wishes to accommodate based on the age of the dog, dog's preferences, etc.

I prefer to walk one dog at a time (but can walk 2 max) so I can really tune into their needs and preferences.
I'm a fairly fast walker and dogs enjoy it.
Another big joy for them is to sniff and I'll give them plenty of time to do it and explore.

We go to Douglas Preserve. Usually off-leash adventures when appropriate. I bring the crew that is staying at the time and so there is also plenty of supervised socialization! We are back at the house after that where dogs have access to the boarding area and yard where there are toys to play with and other things to do!

Pets are precious! Caring for someone's friend(and family) is a huge responsibility and one I take extremely serious. While your furry friend is in my care we will explore local parks and possibly meet new friends, but my biggest mission is to develop a relationship in order to gain trust. I have no problem and will enjoy more than one animal and any recommendations or personal requests. Hope to meet you soon!

Depending on the dog, I love to go on longer walks/hikes up mission canyon. Or just a casual beach walk. Though my long arm is a little short, I’m always up for a game of fetch or tug-o-war. I'm good with walking multiple dogs but no more then 3 at a time. :)

Dogs walks and/or excursion walks are according to your pups exercise needs. I can provide neighborhood walks, trips to on-leash or off-leash parks and trails, and trips to on-leash or off-leash beaches. In addition, I can provide single or multiple dog walks.

I can walk up to two dogs that are between 20-40lbs and up to three dogs between 1-20lbs. The walks will be active so they can get their daily exercise and long enough for your doggies to enjoy the sunshine. Feel free to let me know how many walks your pup is accustomed to and I'll be sure to make it happen.

I am a collegiate soccer player who loves a range of activities. I design my walks based on the personality and fitness of you dog. Some of my favorite exercises include leisurely walks by the beach, hikes through the Montecito hills, and playing catch at local dog parks. I understand that each dog is different and am willing to go on runs with you dog if that is what they need!

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Santa Barbara

  1. Look for a dog walker who has passed a background check.
  2. Ask a DogVacay dog walker for a free Meet-n-Greet. Take your pet for a short stroll in Santa Barbara, letting the dog walker hold the leash. You’ll know quickly if this is the right person for your pet.
  3. Then visit your home with the dog walker, so your pet becomes comfortable with this person in the dog’s territory.
  4. Make plans for letting the DogVacay dog walker into your home. Some people may feel comfortable providing a key. Others keep a key in a combination lockbox. Many people use smart locks and programmable key codes.
  5. Discuss the length and route of the walk in your neighborhood in Santa Barbara. Cover what kind of updates you want (such as a “bathroom” log or behavior notes).
  6. Explain what your treat policy is after a walk. Keep treats safely stored, and let the dog walker know where to find them.
  7. Make sure your pet has the right harnesses, collars, leashes and equipment for a safe and fun walk.
