About: Back in the Netherlands, I grew up surrounded by animals and have always loved caring for them. My family had a flat-coated retriever, a golden retriever, two cats, a rabbit, and fish, so being around pets has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have experience helping train dogs and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Since moving to San Diego, I really miss having animals around, which is why Rover feels like such a great fit for me. I would love to give your pet the same care, attention, and affection I would give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and keeping pets company depending on their routine and needs. I understand that every pet has their own schedule, so I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, whether that means specific walk times, feeding routines, medication reminders, or extra cuddles and attention. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client’s home, I will follow your instructions carefully and respect your space, your pet’s routine, and any house rules. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, water, and any special care instructions are handled responsibly. I know how important trust is when someone cares for your pet, so I will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and attention. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

Every dog loves enthusiastic playmates. Phillip fits the description. He is consistently professional, friendly, helpful and always right on time. I need to feel that my older dog is safe when going out walking in our neighborhood, the city. Phillip "brings it", when he comes to see Colette...she feels at home with him and Phillip leaves the pictures to prove it. :-).

About: I have been in the animal care and training field professionally for the last 14 years working with a wide variety of animals. I have also done professional dog training with a range of different breeds, so I’m comfortable walking and caring for dogs with all sorts of needs and/or behavioral issues. I currently work full time, but am available to care for your pets before and after work as well as on my lunch break if needed. My days off are Sunday and Monday and I will have extra time on these days to spend with your pet! :) I will gladly follow all care instructions you set up for meeting with your dog in your home and walking them outside of the home!

About: My name is Anna! I am a dog lover, owner and walking aficionado. I have spent the majority of my life both around and taking care of animals - from family and friends to my very own, dogs become instant family to me. I enjoy that happy dog smile of outside freedom and will make sure your pup is getting the fresh air, exercise and love they deserve! I'm experienced and confident with dogs of all breeds for games of fetch, long walks to match their energy (fast-paced, mellow, etc.,) administering medicine, to the classic belly scratch they crave. I look forward to meeting your pup and providing a wonderful experience :) I work remotely and have flexibility for all check-ins, neighborhood walks, potty breaks, administering medicine, etc. I am available mornings, midday and evenings to support your dog's needs. I offer the highest level of respect for your home and will ensure your dog picked up after, mail is brought in, if plants need watered, etc.

About: I am a lifelong dog owner and pet lover! I have had dogs my whole life and have been pet sitting since I was a kid for family, friends and more recently roommates. Over the last few years I fostered 6 dogs with the Cantu Foundation until I foster failed with my dog Finn! I have worked with dogs from 3 months to 15 years old and love caring for all ages and breeds. I would I be able to make sure your young puppy keeps up with training while you are away. My previous roommate has a cat that I loved and would love to care for yours as well! My lab mix Finn loves all dogs and gets along with cats as well! He would love to be your pet’s new best friend, but no worries if your pet is best solo. I live a few blocks away from the Grape St dog park and can take your dog there if they are good at the park! I also frequent OB dog beach and fiesta island with Finn and can bring your dog along as well! I work from home in South Park so am available to watch your dog for the day in my home (must be dog friendly and we can do a meet and greet with my dog Finn beforehand) or I can take your dog on an afternoon or evening walk either with my dog or solo! I live 4 blocks away from the Grape St dog park and can take them to play if they get along with other dogs. I have a very friendly dog that will play with or keep your dog company in my home! I have a small grass area in front of my house for easy potty access, or can take them on longer walks around the South Park neighborhood. If you would like me to come to you, we can certainly meet beforehand to get to know each other!

Julio is great with my dogs! My border Collie puppy is nervous around new people. Julio was very gentle and patient with him. I appreciate Julio's calm demeanor and his commitment to learn about the dogs he walks, especially their behaviors and routines. He has good communication and feedback. Overall will definitely be booking again with Julio for dog walks!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home, so your pet will have my full attention all day long. I currently have a cat and a 15 year old senior dog, so I truly understand the bond we have with our older furry friends. Since I care for a senior dog myself, I’m very comfortable with medical needs. I can easily handle: Injections (like insulin) and any oral medications. Special diets and strict feeding schedules. Senior care for pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. Because I’m home 24/7, I can provide constant companionship and as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be treated like family here I work from home full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule. Your pet will have my companionship 24/7, with constant supervision and as many potty breaks or walks as they need throughout the day A typical day includes lots of cuddles, mental stimulation, and fun games. We will explore the nearby park and enjoy long walks. Since I’m always home, I can strictly follow any feeding or medication schedules your pet requires

About: Hi! I’m Yana a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver based in San Diego. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have had dogs since childhood. As an adult, I cared for two small dogs a Chihuahua and a Dachshund who lived long, happy lives and eventually passed away due to old age. Currently, I share my home with my orange cat, Cooper, and my Boxer, Sheila. Living with different personalities and energy levels every day has taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique needs from playful and active to calm and affectionate. Animals have always been an important part of my family, and I treat every pet I care for with the same patience, attention, and love. Animals have always naturally trusted me, and I genuinely enjoy understanding each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own whether that means playtime and long walks for energetic pups or slow, calm companionship for shy or anxious ones. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

Leilani did a great job with Atlas! He’s very walker dependent, so we spent a lot of time going over what works for him. She was able to follow all of my directions and manage him well! He’s e collar trained and I had her take it just in case. She’s definitely comfortable with strong pups!

One of our dogs is very wary of new people and takes a long time to warm up to them. Not with Kali. She met him once before we left on vacation. Her first walk it took him 2 blocks to chill out. After that he was so stoked to see her and leave the house with her. Dogs came back so happy and fully exercised. Highly recommend. Will 100% use her again.
