About: Hi I have been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs. I’ve had a dog of my own for 8 years, giving me personal experience in canine care, behavior, and training. In addition to my personal experience, I volunteer at The Animal Pad in San Diego, working hands-on with rescue dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I ensure every walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s needs—whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energy-burning adventure. I am currently only working remotely so have very open availability to sit and walk pets! I'm available Mid-days, evenings and weekends to house sit or walk! Am able to dog/cat sitting at your home and walk dogs! I am also able to board dogs overnight if friendly with other dogs as I have one of my own!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matilda was absolutely wonderful with our babies! They were kind, reliable, and clearly cared for our pups like their own. We came back to 4 happy and well-cared-for pups—couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!

Kaitie watched over my Shiba Inu, Sushi while I was out of town for a quick work event. Sushi was clearly very happy and in great care, she even dropped her off and picked her up from her regular weekly doggy daycare. I got daily update and adorable pictures.

This woman is AMAZING. She has been nothing but kind while I have a lot going on and needed help with my girls. They have lost so much training due to personal medical issues for me / also my dogs, and she stepped right up to help me. Her patience with my girls is amazing and I can tell they just love her. Victoria knows exactly how to work with dogs and handle them perfectly. Will definitely book again if she is interested.

Alina was perfect and I'm so happy to have found her! She house sat for my 12 year old dachshund for almost two weeks and he couldn't have been happier. She sent me photos and kept me updated on their walks, outings and cuddle time. He is an easy dog but can get anxious when I'm gone for long stretches. Alina provided the love and attention he needed so no sad or anxious behavior this time. I'm excited to have found a great person to care for him when I'm away!

Jinni is great! We weren’t sure how our toy poodle would handle spending time with a stranger (he can be a little shy and this was our first booking). We were so happy to see him hanging out on her lap shortly after we left! Clearly Jinni’s calm, easy energy made him feel right at home. :) Highly recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Amy was truly a dream. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She followed all of our instructions to a T—kept up with our pup’s training, stuck to her schedule, took her on long, enriching walks, and made sure she got plenty of love and structure. We received thoughtful daily updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Not only was our dog incredibly well cared for, but our home was left spotless and orderly—it honestly felt like we came home to a reset space. She met our needs and then some. We would book with her again in a heartbeat and feel so lucky to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend!

He's been perfectly reliable and has bailed us out in a pinch when we had life things come to up. We trust him 100 percent - we've had numerous walkers and he's the only one we've ever been so happy and relieved.
