Please call me if you are more than 10 minutes late. Yesterday you were 20 minutes late. When you sift cat box, DON'T FLUSH LITTER DOWN THE TOILET! It ruins the plumbing pipes.

Nice walker! She walked only one dog (Lucy), Wag charged but charged for two dogs. Since this isn't indicated by walker, I will have to reduce tip.

Christy has been a great help! She doesn t just walk my dog, she takes the time to clean up a mess she sees and also brought in some Amazon packages that were delivered. She goes above and beyond what she has to do.

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Ventura

College Area

The College Area of Ventura, CA is ripe with culture, arts, education, and recreation. In addition to Ventura College, the family-friendly area has a high school and technical school. And it’s home to Arroyo Verde Park, which sits on the northern end of the neighborhood. This 132-acre park has tons of room for you and your leashed pooch to enjoy, with several hiking trails, picnic areas, and grassy pastures. You and your pup are sure to love this beautiful outdoor location that sits in the foothills of Ventura. Before 9 a.m., your dog is even welcome to explore off his leash, so make the most of the dog-friendliest hours!

Midtown

Midtown Ventura is one of the most popular places to live in the city. With bustling neighborhoods, hospitals, restaurants, book stores, and fun shops, you can easily spend a day here finding new things to enjoy. Walk with your pup through the shopping area for some window shopping and head over to Topper’s Pizza, a pawsome pizza place with dog-friendly outdoor seating. You can also take a trip to Camino Real Park, a 38-acre area for sports, group events, and fun. The park has a fenced-in area for off-the-leash fun, complete with clean-up bags and double gate entry for extra safety.

Downtown Ventura

The Downtown area of Ventura sits conveniently between some of Ventura’s best residential areas, large freeways, and its gorgeous beaches. The historic area will be a blast to explore with your furry pal, from artsy exhibits to music events. Or, take a stroll through the district and enjoy the views of historic buildings that give you a peek into vintage California. If your dog is a water lover, you have to check out Ventura’s beaches, only moments away from the heart of Downtown. Surfer’s Point Beach is the perfect spot to enjoy some peace and quiet with your pal. Then, you can visit one of several dog-friendly restaurants in the area, like Rice by Mama, a Thai restaurant with outdoor seating.

Hollywood by the Sea

Oxnard is about nine miles southeast of Ventura’s Midtown. The city is known for its gorgeous beaches that don’t get as crowded by tourists as other large beach towns in California. The Hollywood By the Sea neighborhood is right on the gorgeous coast of Oxnard, where you and Fido are perfectly welcome to visit Hollywood Beach. This beach welcomes dogs on their leash until 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. If you’re spending the day in this blissful beach area, head over to Sea Fresh Channel Islands, a seafood-loving restaurant with a dog-friendly patio that overlooks Channel Islands Harbor. Bone appetit!

Factory Outlets

Fifteen miles west of Ventura is Camarillo, California. The Factory Outlets area is sure to have your pooch begging to come back. You can enjoy a walk in the “bark” at Springville Dog Park, a huge, grassy area with plenty of space for large dogs to run, and smaller area for small breeds to stay safe. Also in the area is a PETCO store, where dogs are welcome to beg their owners for new toys and tasty treats! You can even get a bite to eat with your furry friend at D’Amore’s Pizza, at one of its outdoor tables. The dog-friendly restaurant will even give your pooch his own water bowl!
