About: Over the years, I’ve taken care of all my friends dogs. I’m currently the lead babysitter for my landlord’s chihuahua. I’d love to meet your pup today! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, so I’ll be able to prioritize your pets! It’s enriching work for me. I will adhere to whatever rules you have for your pet in their environment. I will only walk them in safe designated areas, and am extremely attentive.

About: Hi! My name is Evgeniia. I'm a caring and responsible person, and I would love to help you with your dog. Dog walking is a great way for me to earn some extra money, and I'm happy to help busy pet owners. I will treat your dog with care and make sure they are safe and happy. I would love to meet you and your furry friend! I am currently looking for extra work and pet-sitting is my main focus right now. Since I am not working another job, I am completely free and available at any time. My schedule is 100% flexible every day of the week. I can easily fit your dogs into my daily routine and give them all my time, care, and attention. Your pet's safety is my absolute priority. I offer a secure, fully fenced yard and have two very friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. I understand how important clear communication is, so I will always strictly follow your feeding, crating, and care guidelines while providing frequent photo and video updates!

About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was a baby, and they've always been a huge part of my life! Over the years, I've cared for 3 cats, 2 dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, so I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I love getting to know each one individually. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, giving medication, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I'm dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. Animals bring so much joy to our lives, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply companionship, I'll make sure they receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'm happy to follow their schedule to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every pet as if it were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions you provide. In your home, I will respect your space while ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they need. Whether it's playtime, walks, medication, or extra cuddles, I'm committed to providing reliable and loving care. With years of experience caring for cats, dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, I'm comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities.

About: I've taken care of family pets for more than twelve years and had owned two chihuahuas. I can bath, walk, and play with them and keep them company. I currently own the cutest pug named Lily. I am a travel medical assistant with open availability due to it being a slow season. I like to walk every morning to the park or the farmers markets on Saturdays. If you have a fencing yard or crate, I can let them out for walks and for play. If you need help bathing or administering any medication, I'd be more than happy to help you.

“Marissa was an amazing dog walker! She’s incredibly detailed and attentive, showing a deep understanding of dog behavior and how to make every walk enjoyable and safe. Her kindness and patience made such a difference, and she even shared helpful tips that we’ve used with great success. I highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable dog walker!”

“Our two dogs were happy and worn out after a half-hour walk with Belinda. She's scheduled to dog sit for us in a few weeks, and we're very confident she'll take great care of them.”

“Last minute dog walking, so thankful for Maureen!”

About: I have always had dogs around or as pets growing up. I have experience in administering medication orally and topically as I had a senior dog who was diagnosed with cancer. I currently have two dogs: 3 year old and 8 months. I have training experience as I worked with trainers with my own dogs. I’ll have plenty of time to give your fur baby attention and short / long walks. I have a subcompact SUV where I can take them to the dog parks nearby if allowed. I crate train my youngest fur baby and keep her on potty schedules in the evening. My 3 year old is completely potty trained and roams freely lounging.

About: With years of hands on experience caring for my own dogs, family/friends and volunteering at rescue animal shelter dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I bring more than just reliability. I bring genuine love and connection to every pet I meet. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs, from energetic playtime to calming routines, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. My goal is simple: to give your dog the happiest, safest, and most tail wagging experience while you're away. I am currently working a part time job so the days I am available to work are Monday's, Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's! I am available anytime from 8am-1pm and if needed evening walks as well just shoot me a message and I will do my best to work around your schedule and needs! I am very open and flexible! I understand how important it is to build trust with both pets and their owners. For me, safety is always a top priority. At home, I ensure my pets are in a secure environment by using properly fitted collars, safe walking routes, and monitoring their behavior during play to avoid any potential hazards. I keep my home pet-proofed, making sure harmful items are out of reach. When I’m looking after clients' pets, I treat them with the same level of care and attention, sticking to any specific safety guidelines provided by the owner, like dietary restrictions, medication schedules, or leash rules. Trust is earned by being reliable, communicative, and consistent, so I make sure to keep pet parents updated with photos, texts, and progress reports.

About: I have taken care of dogs for 10 years. Love taking walks and able to give meds. I am very sensitive to a dogs feelings and enjoy seeing them happy. I'll do whatever it takes. I am retired so I have plenty of time to spend and play with my furry friends! I'll be staying at your home, so I will stay close in the community. I also love to help people with their garden! I am great at following all instructions given by the owner. I take them on long walks, playing fetch and cuddling up on the couch with them.

“We had the pleasure of having Anastasia watch our furbabies this past weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier! She was very communicative, thoughtful, and helpful throughout the entire stay. She asked great questions about their care, including things I may have forgotten to mention in my instructions, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Our dogs had a wonderful time with her, and we truly appreciate the care and attention she gave them. Thank you so much, Anastasia!”

About: I've never not had a pet (or five) at home. Primarily cats and dogs, but my brothers were known to bring home a lizard every now and then. I can run and exercise your dog or just love on them and take them outside. I have no problem staying at your house - it's often the best way to make sure your dog is comfortable! I understand the special needs that older dogs and puppies have. I have a wide variety of experience - from my own animals, to other peoples' pets as well as professional animal training experience. I will help you leave your beloved animal in good hands so you can enjoy your time away and return home to a happy pet! I'm currently working freelance and remotely. So I am able to spend most of my time with your animals, and give them as much attention as they need. I have been staying at other poeples' homes to watch their animals for a few years now. I'm very respectful of your home and belongings. I do think it is the best way to make the animals feel comfortable. Even the shy ones have the comfort of "home court advantage", and it helps them warm up faster.

About: I work from home, so dogs in my care are never left alone and always have company, attention, and love throughout the day. They get multiple walks, dog park time, a calm cozy environment, toys, music, and their own comfortable space to relax. They’re also welcome on the furniture and can sleep in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I truly see dogs as family members, not pets. I treat them the way I would treat my own child — with patience, affection, protection, and lots of care. I love having them near me while I work, and I make sure they feel safe, included, and deeply loved every moment they’re here. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around and available throughout the day. That means your pet gets more attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent companionship—not just a quick visit. On a typical day, I can plan morning, midday, and evening walks/potty breaks, plus playtime and feeding around my work schedule. I keep things structured but flexible, so I can match your pet’s routine (especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets that need extra check-ins). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: safety, routine, and a calm environment. I’m detail-oriented, I follow your instructions closely, and I keep you updated so you feel confident the whole time. In your home (drop-ins / house sitting): I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I do safety checks (doors/gates secured, leashes/harnesses fitted correctly, no access to unsafe items). I keep the space tidy and stress low—especially for pets who do best in their familiar environment. I send photo/video updates and notes after visits. In my home (boarding / daycare): Calm, supervised environment with plenty of attention since I work from home. Frequent potty breaks, exercise, and structured downtime. I keep pets separated when needed (feeding time, high energy, or if a dog prefers their own space). Only pet-safe areas are accessible—no unsafe foods, small objects, or risky spaces. My safety rules, always: I don’t take dogs off-leash unless it’s a securely fenced area and you’ve approved it. I use positive reinforcement (no harsh methods). I watch for signs of stress or illness and communicate quickly if anything seems off. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to feel totally at ease.

About: My love for animals grew when I got my dog moe (the chihuahua in my photos) he is my bestfriend and he is the cutest dog ever! I love spending time with your pets and especially taking tons of photos to send to you. I like to give updates to you throughout the day so you know your bestfriend is safe with me! I do online school at the Junior College so I would be at your house for most of the time giving all the scratches and love to your pet ☺️ I am free throughout the week and can normally fit around anyones schedule. If things come up in the future they will be updated that week on my calendar if I become booked Whenever I leave to go run an errand I always check to make sure all the doors are locked. It is something I always do, even at my own home to make sure the pets are safe. I also like to take them out ever 2 hours just to be sure they are always relieved. If you ask for walks I always love doing them and getting some exercise for your dog and me!

“Stephanie was great with Zoro. Stephanie communicated well each day and was flexible with the times. I would definitely rebook again with Stephanie. The last day after the walk was over, Zoro jumped into the car with Stephanie to go for another walk. Thank you, Stephanie!”

“Jalen did a great job walking my big dog that loves to pull on his leash. He gave good daily updates and photos and I had great peace of mind while on my vacation knowing my dog was being well cared for. Will definitely be booking again.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a natural connection with them. Over the years, I’ve helped dogs with training, exposure to new experiences, socialization, confidence building, and learning how to interact appropriately with people and other animals. I currently have two 8-month-old best friends at home in Ocean Beach: Disco, my friendly, playful puppy, and Allie, my confident and curious kitten. Both are young, social, and well-behaved. With your permission, I’d be happy to bring either along if you’d like your pup to get some supervised socialization. Disco loves meeting and playing with everyone, while Allie usually prefers observing the action from somewhere up high! I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, body language, comfort level, and individual needs. I’m happy to reinforce existing training or work on leash manners, recall, impulse control, socialization, confidence, and basic obedience while they’re in my care. Most importantly, I want to provide an affordable, dependable service for our local dog community so that great walks, enrichment, socialization, and attentive care are accessible to dogs who might otherwise not get enough of them. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine with my 9-month-old puppy, Disco. Our days are built around regular walks, exercise, training, play, socialization, and downtime, so adding another pup to our adventures fits naturally into my schedule. I’m home and available throughout much of the day and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting, training sessions, baths, or longer outings. If your dog enjoys company, they’re also welcome to join Disco for walks, playtime, training, or adventures around Ocean Beach! I care for every pet according to their individual personality, routine, training, and comfort level. I’ll follow your house rules and preferred commands, reinforce good habits, and give them plenty of exercise, enrichment, play, and attention. Safety and trust come first, especially when introducing dogs to new environments or animals. I pay close attention to body language and temperament and never force an interaction. If you’re interested in socialization, I can also bring Disco or Allie along for a carefully supervised introduction. Otherwise, they’ll stay home and your pet will have my full attention.
