Dog Walking Carlsbad

“Kat is great! Bruce has been on two walks with her so far and has had a great time. Kat is extremely responsive and communicative, and we felt totally confident in sending Bruce off with her. She's good at using the app and giving updates, which we appreciate. Bruce seemed so happy when they got back, and we will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have experience taking care of all kinds of animals - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, etc - and loving every minute of it. And never fear large dog owners, I grew up and am well versed in playing with and walking dogs larger than me, so your large fur baby is in good hands. I work in the medical field doing shift work thus I have a very flexible schedule and I am happy to work around your pet care needs :) I am very adaptable and will be happy to provide whatever makes you feel like your pets are the most safe and comfortable (whether that be crating or making a comfortable bed etc).

About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I have spent time with horses, chickens, rodents, birds, dogs, reptiles, fish, pigs, and of course kitties🐾 I take great photos and write detailed reports with each visit. I am huge on communication and making sure both pets and pet parents are always happy🩷 ~ Meet and Greets are a requirement for the safety of your pets and myself ~ 🖤Medications 🖤Hospice I have a very open schedule! I am very flexible when it comes to hours in the day, days of the week, and I’m always open for night shifts! I have 24 pet rats who live their best life. They are rescued feeder rats and could not be cuter! They are spoiled and living the Barbie life they deserve🖤

About: I've been around dogs my whole life, feeding them, walking them, reading their moods, knowing when they want to play and when they just want to lie next to you. I'm calm and confident around animals of all sizes and personalities, including puppies going through the chewing and housebreaking phase. What I bring is attention. I notice when a dog is anxious, tired, or just needs a few extra minutes on a walk. I treat every dog like they're getting the same care I'd want for my own, and I keep owners updated so they're not left wondering how things are going while they're away. I'm new to Rover, but not new to animals. If you want someone who's genuinely there for your pet and not just checking a box, I'd love to help with walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. My schedule is wide open right now, so I can work around your routine easily. I'm generally available any day from early morning through late evening, roughly 8am to 10pm, and happy to adjust as needed. All of my care happens in the client's home. My goal is to keep things as normal as possible for the pet while the owner is away, so I follow whatever routine is already in place: feeding times, walk schedule, and any specific instructions left for me. For house sitting, I stay at your home so your pet keeps their usual environment, bed, and yard instead of adjusting to somewhere new. For walks and drop-ins, I stick closely to the schedule you set and give the pet real attention during each visit. I send photo or text updates so you know how things went while you're away. If you leave specific instructions, I follow them exactly rather than improvising.

“This was our first walk & was impressed. My dog felt totally at easy with Justin. I really appreciated Justin’s flexibility with my schedule & he had great communication during my short notice request. We look forward to booking again soon.”

About: I grew up with many cats and adopted/foster dogs and began volunteering at my local animal shelter when I was 16. Through these experiences, I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and levels of timidness. Three years ago, I adopted a previously-abused, very insecure Siberian husky who, with patience and love, has blossomed into a super friendly and confident dog. I am currently getting my Masters in Business online and working part time. My school schedule is very flexible and I am available for day-of bookings. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own and am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment. I know how intimidating strangers can be for some pets and how important having patience is. I am detail-oriented and will follow any instructions to a tee and be very respectful of your home if providing drop in visits. I believe in thorough communication and provide consistent updates to ensure peace of mind.

“Bailey enjoyed his walk with Michael and seemed to be more accepting to him. This will help when Michael does house and pet sitting in the future. Thank you Michael.”

About: I love caring for animals especially taking dogs along with me on my walks. It makes for a more entertaining walk and gets your pup out of the house! I am currently between jobs so I am free all week with no distractions and can care for your pets as needed. I live in a dog friendly community as well. I currently do not have pets of my own but I grew up around pets and I pet sit for my family and friends when needed. I am planning on getting a dog in the future and am using Rover to get my feet wet.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I recently lost my own dog in January, and I know firsthand just how much our pets mean to us. My pup was a very shy but loving girl. I also have a 10 year old family dog who I absolutely adore. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and love everything from long walks and playtime to cozy cuddles. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! 🐶❤️ I am currently working part time in the mornings. I am typically done around 11:30am. I love being outside and going on long walks. I would love a fun furry friend to hangout with in my free time! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, responsible, patient, and will make sure your dog or cat is always in a safe and comfortable environment. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, instructions, and individual needs closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I love animals, especially cats and dogs. I come from a “dog family” but have had the privilege of meeting some amazing cats, and have one of my own now. I’ve had a lot of pet care experience over the years, watching many different family member’s and friend’s animals. Specifically experience with older animals, animals with high needs diets and nervous or shy animals as well. Being aware of and sensitive to dog/cat behavior is super important in providing positive pet care! I’m currently on summer break and have more free time. I work part time and enjoy a lot of hobbies, but am able to accommodate many different pet schedules. I am lucky to have a very flexible schedule and can focus primarily on pet sitting and pet care. I feel very comfortable accommodating to your needs and preferences. I am flexible and enjoy new challenges when provided them. I am happy doing whatever is best for you and your pets!

About: I’ve had Golden Retrievers my entire life and currently have two of my own, Ace and Cider :) Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I have experience with puppies through senior dogs. I understand the importance of providing plenty of exercise, attention, patience, and loving care so every dog feels happy and comfortable Pet care fits perfectly into my life right now! I recently finished playing professional basketball overseas, in Australia so I have a very flexible schedule until my next season begins. I have plenty of time to give your pet the love they need. At home, I have two Golden Retrievers with a big backyard. I regularly feed them in the mornings and nights, take them to the park for walks, and spend lots of time training them. It's so rewarding to see them grow and thrive with the care and attention they deserve! I always make sure to provide the same level of care and attention to other people's pets as I do for my own. I ensure that they are fed, given proper exercise, and of course, get all the pets and treats they deserve. It's all about making sure each furry friend feels loved and well taken care of!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and started helping care for family, friends, and neighbors’ pets when I was around 8 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities—from shy or reactive dogs to dogs that love everyone they meet. I’ve also looked after multiple dogs at the same time and am comfortable handling different energy levels and needs. I’ve cared for cats as well, including both territorial cats and super affectionate ones. I’m comfortable giving medication to cats and dogs and am always willing to learn about the needs of other animals. I genuinely love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. Open to: • Quick walk • Long adventure • A drop-in visit • Overnight care I can usually accommodate a variety of schedules. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of love while you’re away. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide care that feels safe and stress-free for them.

About: As a big time dog lover, I would love to spend some time taking care of and loving on your fur baby! I have many years of experience with dog ownership, rescue dog fostering, and dog sitting. I also have experience taking care of and training rescue dogs with reactivity or anxiety. I am currently working part-time and have significant capacity to make sure that your pet is well taken care of when you are away. Whether that be providing companionship by relaxing on the couch, or going for a nice long walk or a run at the park or beach. Having used Rover as a dog owner, I know the importance of communication! I will send regular updates with photos of your pup so you know what we are up to and don't have to think twice while you are away. Spending time with dogs is like my own personal therapy and it always makes me feel happy to have a animal friend around. I recently had a long-term foster who I miss dearly, and I would love to have some more dog time in my life. I am currently working in person on Tuesday's and Thursday's and have limited availability those days, but starting in June I will be fully remote and available. I prefer to watch the pet at my home as I have ample space and a big, fenced in backyard for them to play and go potty! I also am open to and have experience with crating dogs for night time or when being left alone if that is prefferred.

About: I have extensive experience working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, having been a dog walker for several companies, including Wag. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of walking and caring for a wide variety of breeds, such as Dobermans, English Bulldogs, Cattle Dogs, Great Danes, and many more. As a devoted pet owner myself, I’ve gained valuable knowledge from dog trainers and always prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of every pet in my care. I strongly believe in positive reinforcement and reward-based training methods, ensuring a compassionate and effective approach when working with your pets. I am dedicated to following your specific guidelines and care instructions, understanding the importance of maintaining routines that your pets are familiar with. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companions in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own—with love, respect, and attention to their individual needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly schedule because I’m currently working part-time for myself, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship, I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs and ensure they get the care and love they deserve. In Your Home: When I care for pets in your home, I make it my mission to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free—just like I do with my own dog, Jack. I stick to their usual routines, whether it’s meal times, walks, or favorite play activities, because I know how much structure and familiarity mean to them. I focus on making them feel loved and cared for by giving them plenty of attention, belly rubs, and gentle encouragement. I always respect their individual personalities—whether they’re a snuggle bug or an independent explorer—and let them just be the amazing pets they are. Your home is treated with the same care, too, because I know it’s their sanctuary. My goal is to ensure you come home to a happy, relaxed pet who’s been loved like one of my own. In my home: When I care for pets in my home, they’re treated like part of the family! I have a securely fenced yard that’s perfect for safe playtime and outdoor fun. My dog, Jack, is the ultimate host. He’s a big guy—part German Shepherd and part Great Dane—but the only thing “intimidating” about him is his size. Jack is incredibly friendly and loves other dogs, people, and kids. He doesn’t know a stranger or an enemy, so your pet will have a great buddy to hang out with. I make it a priority to follow your pet care instructions closely, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s sticking to their specific feeding schedule, exercise needs, or preferred routines, I’m dedicated to meeting their unique needs. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care in a warm, welcoming environment, and I’ll make sure their stay feels just like home!

About: I have had my dog Lola for almost 10 years. She is truly my best friend and soul dog. I grew up with dogs, and have cared for them my whole life. We are so lucky to have dogs, and I would be so lucky to have the chance to care for your dog! I am an artist and I make my own schedule. I can be home whenever I need to be. Your pet will get my full attentions I will always care for your pet as if they are my own. Rest assured that I will keep you updated while you are away if you would like, and will create a safe environment for your animal.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I love to be outdoors and take pups for walks and exploring ! I live in a neighborhood perfect for walks with a fenced in back yard. I love every dog like my own. I also had cats growing up both indoor and outdoors. I have experience administering medicine as well. I am currently doing Rover full-time so my schedule is open to care for your loved ones! I am available for multiple check ins during the day. I have a fenced in yard and I am able to keep dogs overnight. I would also love to house sit or walk your dog in your home! Walks would be at least 30 minutes and visits would be filled with lots of love!

“Danielle did a fantastic job walking our dog Clio. She went above and beyond to accommodate her hesitation for walks and made sure she had an enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi! I can’t wait to meet your pup or kitty. 🐶🐱 I grew up with small dogs and I have years of experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding for dogs of all sizes. I have owned a cat before too and have experience caring for them. I have fostered for SD Humane Society so I am comfortable with all breeds, including Pit Bulls, Doberman, German Shepherds, and more. I’m a dog mama myself to a sweet pittie rescue pup. I adore all breeds and truly care to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I look forward to taking care of your fur baby. ❤️ *Unfortunately Rover takes a large portion of the earnings so prices are higher. I’m open to working outside the app to find a price that works for you. I work week days 7am-4pm. Otherwise, I’m available the remainder of the time for your pet! I’m currently only offering overnight care in your home - no overnight in my home. However I can offer a short daycare visit, as long as your dog gets along great with other dogs — as I do own a medium pup myself. I have a rescue dog (spaniel mix), around 35 pounds who gets along well with all dogs and people. I do not bring her to any rover jobs, unless you have a dog who would enjoy a playdate and specifically ask about her. Since I’m a dog owner myself, I’m always overly cautious for the pets safety and well-being. Pets are kept close to ensure that their safety is always #1.
