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
“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. :-).”

“Armando was a life saver! I needed a last min walk because I got so busy with work and my pup was being a distraction. He was so kind and Presley came back very tired (yay)! I’ll book him again for sure”


About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and caring for animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets at all times. I have a fenced yard and always pay close attention during walks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets are comfortable and secure. I also understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each owner’s routine and instructions.
“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!”

“Was able to accommodate last minute booking with ease! Very kind and reliable! No issues during booking, initial meet up or scheduled visits. Highly recommend, looking forward to rebooking with Mara!”

I’ll make sure your dog gets good exercise, attention, and lots of love—and I’ll keep you updated along the way 😊 I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays to drop in or take your dog on walks. If you work on the weekends or are away for the day I can help check in on your dog 😊 Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I follow your routine, use safe walking practices, and keep you updated so you can feel at ease.
“Finding a dog walker while I worked night shift over the holidays seemed almost impossible but Lisa came to the rescue and I am so thankful!! She sent lots of pictures and updates from her walks with my pup and I felt very confident in her caring for him. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I know Winston is looking forward to more walks with her in the future!”


“I absolutely love Debbie! She is so amazing and my fur babies adore her! I could not have asked for a better dog walker, she is super easy to schedule with and works with my crazy schedule. My older corgi is super weird with new people but he took to her right away and I knew we were in good hands. I plan to keep using her services and highly recommend her if you are looking for an amazing dog walker!”

“Our two dogs love Ciara! They get so excited when they see her because they know that she always takes them for fun walks. Ciara is comfortable with all dogs, even our 80lb dog who can sometimes be a handful to walk.”
“Was my first time using this app and Andrea was great. My baby girl Jazzie enjoyed her time and loved the photos of my dog as they were on there walk. Definitely booking Andrea again!!!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat owner that loves spending time with animals. I live in North Park and work remotely with a flexible job, so I’m flexible! I love taking dogs on adventures and giving them the exercise and attention they deserve. I have experience with difficult dogs and cats and I’m happy to approach each animal with patience and love. I work remotely with a flexible schedule so it’s easy to find time for new furry friends. I love going for walks and exploring new neighborhoods! I have a fenced in yard around my house that’s secure. I take security and safety very seriously, always taking into account the needs and demeanor of the animal I’m caring for.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life but find myself at a stage in life with no pets. I miss having furry friends at home and before taking on the full-time responsibility of another pet of my own, I’d love to help take care of yours! There’s not much I enjoy more than a good dog walk. Looking forward to meeting your pet(s) and providing quality care while you’re away. I am semi-retired and have a very open and flexible schedule. I am generally available morning, noon or night. We can discuss details and timeline once you book my services. Safety is always first. My home is healthy and safe and I hope yours is too. I will adhere to your routine and requests, unless I feel anything is unsafe, and I will never feed your pet something they shouldn’t eat. Written instructions are requested and appreciated. Trust me, it is for the benefit of everyone, especially your pet that you leave clear and concise instructions. Thank you! 🙏
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and am a former preschool teacher of 15 yrs. Which means I have a big heart, a lot of patience and highly adaptable . Working with kids and animals has been a long time passion of mine. I’m here for whatever your pets needs are! I’m working part time and my schedule is flexible. Being an outdoorsy person, I often go on walks for mental and physical reasons and it would be amazing to have your furry friend join. I strive to look after your dog as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy and looking forward to our next interaction!
About: I have been fostering dogs through a local San Diego rescue for about 3.5 years. I love caring for all types of dogs, but have a particular affinity for large-breed dogs (our dog that we adopted is an 85 pound husky mix). Fostering dogs for the last few years and helping them find their forever homes has been such a rewarding experience, that I recently decided to turn my passion into a profession by going back to school to become a vet tech! I recently went back to school and currently only work weekends, so my schedule is very open during the weekdays in the summer months. During school months, I will be available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I have experience working with and walking dogs with extreme leash reactivity, and I will make sure to redirect your dog from any distractions or things that may upset them on their walks.
About: I grew up with a family dog and have cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life. I am used to cleaning, feeding, and playing! I am patient and look forward to caring for your children as my own- with love, respect, and care. I am currently not working this summer and will be available weekdays and weekends to care for your furry kiddos! I am pretty flexible at this point. :) I currently live in an apartment with two loving cats. I am used to caring for both dogs and cats in this environment. We have grassy yard out front the apartment for the doggies!

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.

I am really grateful for Jazmin walking Maggie. She had great photos and kept me up to date and was on time. I also appreciated the poop update when Maggie was having tummy issues, it was helpful to keep an eye on. I would absolutely have Jazmin walk Maggie again!

Irina was able to help with a last-minute drop-in, and I’m so grateful. Apollo takes really well to her, and she kept me updated throughout the visit. She took him to dog beach, where he had a great time, and sent the cutest pictures and videos. I would absolutely recommend her!

Sofia did very well with my dog! She took her to the beach and walked her around town when I was away. When I returned I saw them interacting and I could tell my dog was very happy. She also took great care to not let my cats escape while she took the dog out. I highly recommend Sofia!
It was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I found Daniel for dog-walking services! I was out of town for 6 days and needed assistance with 3 walks per day. Daniel was punctual, communicative, and super-friendly. My dog connected with him instantly, and I will definitely be rebooking Daniel for my future needs!

Jesselle is a lovely person and dog walker! Due to an injury, I booked her for a week to help me out in the morning with my sometimes stubborn separation anxiety type Corso. Being as Jesselle had listed she has large dog experience, I felt more confident she would be able to handle my dog. She is very sweet, very kind, on time professional and my dog absolutely loved her after the very first day. Made me feel so much more confident as I navigated the help that I needed. I am very thankful and appreciated of her and highly recommend her.
