Dog Walking in Bay Ho, San Diego

“Brandon did an excellent job taking care of Rusty during the holidays. He got lots of walks and attention. Given it was our first time using Rover, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But Brandon handled everything very professionally, and I will now look to use Rover again in the future”

“Morgan was beyond amazing taking a last minute request! She made me feel at ease with her communication and kindness. I definitely will be using her in the future”

About: I bring a grounded, heart centered approach to pet care. I create a calm, connected experience where your pet feels safe, seen, and loved. I’m dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home and routines. Whether it’s a playful adventure or a gentle visit for your pet, I meet animals where they are with presence and compassion. I’m currently working my own at home virtual coaching business, and part time work at different locations in San Diego. My schedule is fluid and I can easily block out the times you need my services. When I drop in your home to care for your pet or take them on a walk, I treat your home and routine with the same respect I’d give my own. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to walk times and play preferences. I aim to keep your pet’s day as normal, calm, and comforting as possible.

About: I have had pets my entire life- from birds to cats to fish to dogs to turtles...I’ve cared for and loved them all. I have done extensive volunteer work with rescue organizations in the past as well and I’m familiar with appropriate interactions with aggressive or scared dogs, how to care for puppies and new moms, as well as general care of dogs, cats, reptiles and rodents. I have 2 dogs of my own- a 5 year old staffordshire terrier named Cilantro and a 8 month old Cane Corso named Miss Lady. I am a fully disabled veteran with a lot of free time on my hands. My only stipulation is that your dogs must be friendly around children as I have a son who may accompany me sometimes. I do not offer services at my house, I prefer to keep your pet in the environment it is familiar with, therefore the environment will vary.

“Shauna took our 95lbs 10 year old German Indian Dog for 30 min walks every day we were away, and we came home to a happy pup! The cute walk photos we received over the long weekend were great, too. Shauna is awesome.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a high-energy dog of my own, so I understand their needs at every stage, from playful puppies to active adults. I have experience caring for puppies as well, ensuring they get the attention, training, and patience they need. Whether your dog loves long walks, active play, or just a little extra care, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after while you're away. I work part-time from home, which allows me to offer flexible and reliable pet care. I provide drop-in visits for both cats and dogs multiple times a day, ensuring they get the attention and care they need. For dog owners, I also offer daily dog walking services between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, or just some company, I’m here to help! When I do a drop-in visit, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I start by checking on their food and water to ensure they’re well-fed and hydrated. If they need medication, I carefully follow any instructions provided. For dogs, I take them out for a potty break and spend time playing or giving belly rubs—whatever they enjoy most! For cats, I clean the litter box, give them affection (on their terms), and engage in playtime if they’re in the mood. I always make sure to give plenty of attention, whether it’s a cuddle session, playtime, or just keeping them company. Before I leave, I do a final check to make sure everything is in order, and I’ll send you an update with photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: Hi, I’m Daphne – your trusted house and pet sitter in La Jolla! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caretaker, I bring years of hands-on experience, reliability, and genuine affection for animals to every home I care for. I'm a proud mom of two teenage humans and two beloved cats, happily married, and living in beautiful La Jolla. Over the years, I’ve helped many friends and neighbors care for their pets and homes, and I’m now expanding my services to offer that same dedicated care more widely. Our two cats, Dasher and Rivers—who we’ve raised since they were just three months old—are the heart of our home. My experience also includes raising and training a Lhasa Apso during my college years, a German Shepherd puppy while living in New York City, and two beagles—one from puppyhood and the other a sweet rescue mix. I’ve completed numerous obedience training courses and have read extensively on dog and cat behavior. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers a calm, quiet presence, I tailor my approach to suit their unique personality. I’m familiar with caring for homes of all sizes, including those with complex security systems and detailed house rules. You can count on me to follow any specific instructions for your home and pets with precision and respect. I’m also very flexible and happy to provide visits on an as-needed basis. Your home and your pets will be treated with the same care and love I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I freelance from home and have a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to easily tailor my day around your pet’s needs—whether it’s regular visits, walks, or last-minute changes. I’m happy to adjust if a family member comes home early and no longer needs my visit, or if schedules change daily—like working around an on-call routine where I get that day’s plan each morning. Flexibility and reliability are key to how I work, and I’m here to make things easier for you and your pets. I treat every client’s home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own. I'm comfortable managing security systems, following specific house rules, and caring for pets in everything from cozy spaces to expansive homes. If your pet is only allowed in certain parts of the yard or house, I’ll be sure to stick to those boundaries. I always clean up after pets, whether that means scooping litter, picking up in the yard, or wiping muddy paws. I’m also happy to play fetch or engage your pets in their favorite games in designated areas to help them feel relaxed and entertained. My favorite downtime often includes curling up with a book or watching TV—ideally with a furry friend by my side. If your pet sleeps in your bed or likes company overnight, I’m more than happy to share the same space for extra comfort and companionship. Above all, I deeply respect your home and privacy. I take great care with your space and belongings and follow any specific instructions you leave. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

About: My dedication ensures your furry friend receives the best care possible. I specialize in personalized care tailored to each animal's needs, whether it's training, administering medication, or providing extra attention to senior pets.

I provide attentive care, considering the pet's age and needs. As a full-time pet sitter, I'm available for them throughout the day.

“Wendy arrived when scheduled to walk my dog Milo. She is very sweet and loving towards him. I could not ask for anything more. I recommend her for anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable.”

“Paige was awesome! She walked our pup a few times this week. She was quick to reply and updated us with pictures from the walk. I can tell he had a great time again. We look forward to booking again!!”

About: Ever since I was a child, animals have been naturally drawn to me and I’ve always felt the same pull toward them. There’s something incredibly special about the quiet understanding that can form between a person and a pet, and I’ve been lucky to experience that bond time and time again. Whether it’s a shy cat or an energetic pup, I take the time to connect, read their cues, and create a space where they feel safe, loved, and at ease. I have had the honor of nurturing some incredible dogs along my journey and have been a reliable source no matter what stage of life the these precious companions are in. I share my life with three amazing animals—Kona, my 8-year-old “forever puppy” and loyal sidekick; Mochi, her playful and goofy 1-year-old little brother we recently adopted; and Boogz, my sweet senior cat who keeps us all grounded with her calm, cuddly presence. They’re all part of the family, and they go wherever life takes me (though Boogz prefers the comfort of home!). Kona has seen more of the U.S. than most people, and their unique personalities have taught me so much about compassion, patience, and how to meet pets where they are. I live in Pacific Beach and love taking advantage of the California sunshine every chance I get. I’m very active and health-conscious, so long walks, playtime at the park, beach strolls, and outdoor adventures are a regular part of life—for me and my pups. Whether your pet loves to lounge in the sun, chase a ball, or curl up in a cozy corner, I’ll make sure they feel cared for, understood, and loved. I’m patient, warm, and playful and I bring those qualities into every walk, drop-in, or cuddle session. I also take your pet’s health and routine seriously, making sure their needs are met with both structure and love. If you're looking for someone who truly gets animals and treats them like family, I’d be honored to care for yours! I work from home and have a very flexible structure which means LOTS of time to give attention to the pets. Whether it’s day or night, I am almost always within arms reach of the pets. I understand how important routine and structure are to pets. I’m happy to follow any care instructions or household guidelines to help your pet feel secure, respected, and comfortable. Whether it's feeding schedules, crate time, leash rules, or medication needs, I’ll honor your preferences to keep things consistent and stress-free. Our pets have free rein of our space but we also have gates that are put up to close off certain areas if need be. This was helpful when introducing our new pup to the cat.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds and have been dog sitting since high school. I have one dog now and love to take her on walks, to the beach, and for puppycinos! I currently work from home M-F and am up early and stay up late! I take walks throughout the day, so might as well bring a fur friend along with! I have one cat and one dog who get along well with each other. Both of my pets are very calm and my dog loves other dogs!

About: Hello! My name is John. Thank you for taking your time to view my profile. I have been taking care of animals since I was a lad. From our own family dog (rest in peace, Bokddoungee) to the pets of my family, church, and friends, I've always been tasked to care and love their beloved pets. I hope to be of service to you and your family! I am currently in transition between careers and in the meantime am working temporary gig jobs. I accept shifts day by day and so am flexible in my hours. I will run or walk your dog, depending your dogs ability. I will change out their food and water and replenish when needed. And of course, I will pet and love them, and tell them what a good boy or girl they are.

About: Hello there! I'm Bruna, your go-to pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals that started when I was just a wee one. Growing up with a pack of Brazilian Mastiffs (back in the day when “adopt, don’t shop” was more of a suggestion), I learned the ins and outs of puppy care, from wiggly newborns to their fabulous, drooling parents. I took my passion to the next level with a Veterinary Assistant course in 2006, where I interned at Shelter Island Vet Hospital and ultimately became a Veterinary Technician. I spent countless hours caring for surgery patients, ensuring they received top-notch care—while secretly plotting to take home all the adorable animals (don’t worry, I only have two dogs and a cat at home, plus a 17-year-old human who thinks he runs the show). For the last 16 years, I've been a Registered Laboratory Animal Technologist, dedicated to providing the best care for research animals. So, whether it’s cuddling with your pup or negotiating peace treaties between your cat and the neighborhood squirrels, I've got the skills to handle it all! When I’m not pet sitting or ensuring my own furry friends stay out of trouble, you can find me running my startup—picking up dog poop and cleaning litter boxes around town. Yes, it’s as glamorous as it sounds! With me, your pets will not only receive expert care but also plenty of love, attention, and maybe a few silly pet anecdotes. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! Pet care is at the heart of my daily routine! As a full-time pet sitter, my schedule revolves around ensuring your furry friends get the best care possible. I also run my own startup business, picking up dog poop and cleaning litter boxes, which keeps me on my toes and deepens my connection with the pet community. When caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my home, I have a pet-friendly setup with plenty of space for play, relaxation, and exploration. I ensure all pets have access to fresh water, comfortable resting spots, and engaging toys. At a client’s home, I follow their routines to maintain consistency for the pets. I’ll stick to feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions they provide. I’m committed to keeping the environment stress-free and familiar for them. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a cozy cuddle session, or just keeping an eye on their favorite napping spots, I ensure that each pet feels loved and cared for like part of the family!

About: I have had pets my whole life, and have experience caring for them as well as feeding, walking, and playing with them. I also have done plenty of dog sitting and dog walking for neighbors and family alike. I work part-time and go to school full-time, but it my school is online so I will have a lot of flexibility to walk your dog! I care for pets exactly as I think their owners would. I follow all instructions and try to treat the pet as my own to make them feel comfortable while their owner is gone.

About: I have been pit sitting for friends and family for over a decade now and have 6 dogs and a cat of my own. One of my dog has 1 eye so I am well versed in how to give perscriptions and eye drops for any special needs pets. I have a big back yard and a huge heart with room for your pet. I care take for dogs and cats everyday since I have a large family of pets myself. I can help with pet meds and any special requirements your pet may need. With a large yard and a well trained pack helping your pet feel welcome and safe is our specialty. There is always a lot of outside time and if your dog is well trained they can accompany us on pets walks outside of the house.

About: I currently work at a doggie day care and clinic where I have been for more than a year. I have learned a lot about all different dogs that have different personalities. I have also learned things about behaviors and some grooming things. I love getting to know new dogs and I don’t pick favorites. I have experience with boarding, overnight stays, drop ins, walks, and pet transportation. I do great with any requests you may have! I’m currently working at a dog daycare so I have time on my days off as well as when i work in the afternoon. I’d like to switch over to doing Rover full time soon. I love getting to see different dogs personalities and to get to walk a lot. I am currently living somewhere that doesn’t allow dogs and I want to be able to give my love to as many pets as I can while I wait for my dream dog!
