Dog Walking Allied Gardens

About: I have worked with up to 30 dogs in one room alone and I also have taken care of a lot of dogs, going on frequent walks, feeding, cleaning up poop, it all! I also am very familiar with markers of a possible illness, so I can accommodate that as seen fit. Currently in school Tuesday - Thursday: Tuesday: 9:35am-3:40pm Wednesday: 12pm-4:50pm Thurs: 9:35am-3:40pm But anytime other than that I am available for dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting! I love playing with dogs/cats so you can trust that I will keep them entertained, if that's what you wish, and I always like to go above and beyond in anyway I can!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had 2 labs and a German Shepard growing up. I currently help dog sit and walk my neighbors dogs and my schedule is extremely flexible I currently have an extremely flexible schedule so I can work Monday through Sunday and I am willing to work with anyone on fitting my schedule around their needs. I currently live in a small ADU Unit in a backyard that is fenced off from my neighbors who own two friendly dogs, due to how small my unit is I would prefer to stay at a clients home if I needed to dogsit overnight!

About: I have grown up taking care of dogs my whole life and have plenty of pet care experience. I welcome any size cat or dogs! I am currently full time in the hospital as a student and have plenty of time to care for pets in the evenings and anytime on the weekends. I live right next to a dog park and my apartment is pet friendly. Additionally I do not have any other pets so your companion will have their own space and not need to worry about any other animals

“This was my second time booking a dog walk with Audrey and she was great! Super caring and communicative, she made it easy to not worry about my pups at home.”

About: I’ve been handling dogs of every size 15 years — family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with walks, feeding, house checks, and daily routines. I’m comfortable with energetic pups that need structure and seniors that need extra patience, slower walks, and special needs. I stick to your instructions, send photo updates, and treat every dog like they’re mine. Hospitality background means I’m reliable, on time, and good at following a plan. I work in restaurant management in San Diego, so my availability is strongest on weekday mornings and early afternoons, plus select evenings and weekends depending on the week. Drop-ins, walks, and house sitting work well around that. I’ll confirm exact windows before you book and keep the same routine every visit so your pet isn’t guessing. I care for pets in your home so their space, crate, feeding setup, and rules stay the same. Doors stay locked, gates stay as you left them, and I follow your instructions on walks, meds, and who they can meet. You’ll get photo updates during the visit. If your dog is crate-trained I’ll use it; if not, I won’t force it.

“Always takes great care of my dog Misty. Makes sure she's feed and plays with her. Best sitter I've had.”

“Rebecca was amazing with our pup Koda, who is a bigger dog. She is very responsive and communicative. We appreciated her help so much she gave us peace of mind during our trip!”

Liz P.

“Hana is great with Juliet. She tries to keep her in the shade cause she knows my girl. Juliet doesn’t like to be hot and that keeps my girl happy.”

Corina C.

“I have a 155lb Great Dane and I am very weary of letting just anyone walk him because of his size and strength. Caity might not be big, but she’s mighty! The first walk I got cute pictures and updates, and when she showed up for the second walk it was like I no longer existed and it was the Oceyn and Caity show! That made me feel good that he has a good time with her. I’m pregnant and on bed rest so I can’t walk him myself… but even when I can walk him again I still plan to keep Caity around 😊”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for over 14 years. Friends, neighbors, family, friends of friends, I’ve spent 20+ weekends a year house/pet sitting, and have averaged 3 dog walks a week for the last 3 years. I also have my Dog, Cat, and Pet First Aid Certificate as well as my Pet CPR Training Certificate from American Red Cross. Right now, I’m taking online courses for my profession. In between classes I would like to take breaks by taking care of animals. It’s both a stress reliever and something I love to do. I keep an eye out for any safety concerns or measures that need to take place to ensure the safety of your animals. Safety is key!

“Susanne is a sweet and lovely person, very good with animals. I was lucky that she was free to help me out in a pinch. I highly recommend her.”

About: I am a recent Graduate from San Diego State. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for over 10 years to walk, feed, bathe, and just give scratches or cuddles to their fur babies. I have taken care of all ages of animals from puppies to seniors, big or small. Since my own dog passed away two years ago giving back and taking care of others animals has lifted my spirits and made others lives easier:) I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to watch your pups! My schedule is adjustable so I am free weekends and weekdays as needed. If I do have work I am available anytime before 9 am and after 3 pm or anytime before 4pm and anytime after 9:30 pm, but I only work 3 times a week. I live in an apartment with a Siamese cat who needs to be fed, played with, and who’s litter box needs cleaning that I try to help my roommate out with from time to time. I can easily crate your dog if needed, administer medication or specific dietary food choices for your pup, and complete any other specialized requests you mahave such as grooming or cleaning up after your pet. I have done it all!

About: I’ve cared for dogs in both my home and clients’ homes, offering drop-in visits and regular walks. Though I’m still building experience in puppy training, I approach every dog with patience, consistency, and genuine love for their well-being. I am available 6 days a week from 10/11am to 9/10pm, depending on my schedule changes. I am a part time college student but I am very free and open. Pets are only allowed on the patio when I’m outside with them, ensuring their safety at all times. During walks, I prioritize safety by keeping dogs securely leashed, avoiding high-traffic areas, and staying alert to their surroundings. I’m diligent about following each owner’s rules and routines to provide consistent, reliable care and peace of mind.

About: Hi, all! My name is Grace. I have been taking care and walking dogs my whole life, I but entered the professional pet care industry about 10 years ago. I love taking care of dogs and other animals from all walks of life, as I believe all living things should have the best quality of life that they possibly can. I have also been an athlete for over two decades, and cannot wait to have fun getting active with your animals. I offer jogging/running for the more athletic pups, and a more leisurely stroll for the dogs that like to take life a bit slower, as well as dog-sitting and drop-ins for all animals in between. I can't wait to meet you and your fluffy friends! I work part time in the afternoons and evenings, so I able to take your pets out for a fun activity in the mornings and afternoons until 2pm. I look forward to building a relationship with your furry friends! I do not offer in-home care as I live with roommates and a strictly human-friendly cat, but I love to extend my hospitality to the setting where your pet is most comfortable, their own home. I am pleased to offer safe and fun care while I am in your home, with lots of activity or snuggles depending on the energy levels.

About: I'm the proud parent of a 5y/o high-energy labradoodle (Lenny), and our routine of three walks every day means I understand exactly what dogs need to feel calm, stimulated, and happy. I know how to read a dog's energy, when to up the pace, when to slow down and let them sniff, and when they just need to decompress at their own pace. Before getting my own dog, I spent months researching dog behavior, needs, and communication. I've also worked with a professional dog trainer to understand how to lead a dog confidently and calmly, skills I bring to every walk! Over the years, I've cared for a variety of different dogs for friends, neighbors, and coworkers, so I know how to adapt to different personalities, sizes, and temperaments. I'm a big lover of sniff-friendly walks. Research shows that letting dogs sniff and explore is one of the most powerful ways to lower their stress and keep them mentally healthy, so I always make space for that, whatever the pace of the walk. :) Whether your fur baby thrives on a brisk, energetic walk or prefers a leisurely neighborhood stroll, I'll match their needs and yours. I'm happy to discuss your dog's pace, preferred routes, and any training cues before we get started. Fresh air and walks are a big highlight of my day! I'm happy to be flexible based on the time of day and length of walk your pup needs..I already walk my own dog three times a day, so adding walks for your pup fits naturally into my routine. I keep my schedule intentional, I won't overbook, so your dog always gets my full attention. Your dog's safety is my first priority. I've worked with a trainer to understand leash handling, body language cues, and how to respond calmly in unexpected situations. I always use secure equipment and won't walk more than one unfamiliar dog at a time without discussing it with you first. I treat every dog like a family member. I'm consistent, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog's wellbeing and happiness!

About: I have over 15 years experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up living with large breed dogs in my home and have gained experiencing caring for dogs, cats, and other critters (birds, tortoises, rabbits, ferrets, etc.) all of sizes in my community as a trusted sitter and Humane Society volunteer. I have cared for dogs young and old, puppies who required constant care and seniors with mobility support needs. I am comfortable administering oral or topical medication and bathing dogs upon request and direction. I currently live with a curious 9 year old feline named Luna and am planning for our next four legged friend. Since moving to San Diego from the Bay Area, I’ve missed daily walks with my family’s dog, a Siberian Husky Malamute mix also named Luna, and cherish each opportunity I get to bring that care, joy, structure, and stimulation to a dog’s daily life. Safety, trust, and wellness are my top priorities when engaging with your pet. It is important to me to honor each pet’s unique needs, personality, and boundaries with each meeting. I look forward to being a loving, reliable human in your pet’s life. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule that allows for weekday drop ins and walks. If requesting house sitting during the week, please specify if a constant daytime presence in the home is desired. Trust and reliability are central to my work as a sitter and caregiver. As no two pets or homes are alike, it’s important to me to understand you and your pets’ unique needs and preferences and adapt my care accordingly. I want to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe, and your home clean and comfortable. I love snapping photos to keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout our time :)

About: Greetings, I am Ellen (and Zopa), your trusted and experienced dog sitter. Warning: Your dog will be spoilt with kisses, walks and snooggles! My husband and I grew up with dogs all our lives and have taken care of pups ranges from 2 months to 16 years old. I work from home full time so I will be home with your fur bebe during the day as well. We have a fur bebe of our own, Zopa, 9 yo gentle Lab Mix and he is both people and dog-friendly; except for unneutered male pups (sorry, we tried with a meet up, and no go with the Zopa) Zopa is not possessive with his toys; so our doggo toy box is available for your pup as well. We have a large fenced backyard overlooking a canyon; this is where Zopa normally sunbathe and nap during the day or stretch his legs in between naps, snacks and walk breaks. During hot days, air conditioning is available and usually on. (Our late bulldog used to cycle between the AC and covered backyard area in the summer 🥰) We do not discriminate against any dog breed although I require a meet-up prior to booking to ensure everything is good with Zopa, your pup, us and so that you feel more comfortable trusting your fur bebe with us. Nothing make me happier but to give your dog a comfortable stay - a home away from home with loads of love, kisses and pampering while keeping them safe so you can focus on your trip. WFH Full Time - Flexible Schedule I work from home full time. I’m flexible with your pet needs, such as feeding time, walk schedules, heat sensitivity, food allergy, etc. I’ll update you with pics and/or videos as often as you would like; usually around 3 times per day on average. (Including tagging you or your fur baby’s ig account 😊) Weekday Routine Neighborhood walks or park trips 2 times a day are Zopa’s jam; once in the AM and once in the PM. We are early risers especially on weekdays - Zopa and I usually complete our morning rituals including breffast and AM neighborhood walk by 7:30-8 AM. In the summer, early walks will commence to avoid heat and PM walk is usually a little later depending on temperature of the day. (dogs can burn their paws on hot surfaces e.g. asphalt) Our backyard access is available at all times from inside the house so the pups can choose whether to chill inside or outside. Weekend Routine I usually take Zopa for a longer walk, for a chill hike, or dog park fun times in the weekend. (Balboa park, Grape Street Park, Civita Park are some of the parks we normally frequent) Sometimes, Zopa is out shopping with me (Nordstrom sales people are his besties), or to dog-friendly restaurant / breweries around San Diego as well. We usually end the night with chill time in our backyard. Your fur baby will be like my fur baby as well with access to fully fenced backyard, a furry super chill brother, plus safe and fun home 🏠. I prefer boarding in my own home. If your fur baby has heat sensitivity (e.g. bulldogs, Samoyed, husky) we turn on our air conditioner and fans when it’s hot. Let us know what your fur Bebe’s fave things are and their routine; we can adjust accordingly.
