About: I have 15 years of caring for pets of my own and well over 10 years of sitting for neighbors and friends pets. I have experience with dogs (of all sizes), cats, and pocket pets of all ages. I even have experience caring for elderly pets and those that require medication. Education background in animal care (Bachelor's in Animal Science and Associate’s in Animal Care and Training). I work part-time for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. I usually work early mornings and late evening shifts a few days a week. I have a flexible schedule and readily available most mid-days. Through my personal experience and education background I understand how to handle animals safely and confidently. While also ensuring your pets comfort. I understand leash safety and feel comfortable walking dogs of various sizes.
“Due to an injury, living upstairs I’m not supposed to do much of and having to use a cane for awhile, I desperately needed help asap walking my big girl. We are active and usually walk at least two miles twice a day. I came across Daniel’s profile, nervous as I’ve never had anyone but myself walk my sometimes very hard headed strong Cane Corso. I really appreciated that his profile noted that he’s comfortable with bigger breeds and has one of his own. I can’t say enough good things about his work ethic, kindness, gentle demeanor, quick communication, punctuality, professionalism - all of it! Not to mention my dog with some serious separation anxiety by the 3rd morning was up before the alarm in the morning to put on her “necklace” and go walk with her new bestie! She now pouts and looks out the window for an hour after their walks! (ha ha thanks Daniel!) I have booked future walks with full confidence and absolutely no hesitation. I am so very very thankful for his way with my working breed dog and his help!”
“Tina has been absolutely amazing as our dog walker. She’s reliable, punctual, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, our dog gets so excited every time she arrives! Tina always keeps us updated, communicates clearly, and goes above and beyond to make sure our dog gets great exercise and attention. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our pup is in such good hands. We highly recommend Tina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Not only did I grown up with pets, I also have a lot of pet sitting experience, both in my own residence and others. I’m currently working from home, that leaves me with a lot of time to play with your furry campion. In addition to having a flexible schedule, it would be nice to have something to get me away from my desk. I live in a very walkable neighborhood.My condo has an open floor plan and I have a grassed patio. I’d also be able to crate if necessary.
About: Hi! I’m a San Diego–based college student who has always loved being around animals. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, my goal is to make your pet feel relaxed, cared for, and at home while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow specific routines, administer basic medications, and respect each pet’s unique needs. I believe communication is key, so I always provide regular photo and video updates to give you peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and care for your furry family member! Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine as a college student. I plan my schedule around my classes, which allows me to be flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m able to provide consistent care for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at the same times each day to keep their routine stable. I check my schedule weekly to ensure I can fully commit to each booking, and I prioritize clear communication and reliability so pets and owners can feel confident their care will never be rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I provide feeding and fresh water on schedule, clean litter boxes or cages as needed, and give plenty of attention and playtime tailored to each animal’s personality. I also monitor their behavior, energy levels, and health, noting any changes in appetite, mood, or habits. For pets that require medication, I administer it according to instructions and keep the owner updated. I treat each home and pet with respect, making sure the space stays clean and secure, and I provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident and reassured while they’re away.
“I have only had Hayden walk my dogs once but he is scheduled to walk them on a weekly basis. He was very prompt in coming to my home to meet me and the dogs and seemed comfortable with them. After the walk he left comments about both dogs which I appreciate. I look forward to a longer relationship with Hayden and my dogs.”
“Gabriel was great with our pup! He is a really good communicator, and I appreciate that he took the time to read our care instructions carefully. I also really appreciate that he was flexible and understanding with a last minute schedule change due to a calendar mistake on my end. Would absolutely recommend him.”
“Leilani went above and beyond to help with a reservation request for the next morning. Extremely professional and plenty of good pet photos! Would happily recommend to anyone!”
“I am so grateful I found Alyssa to care for my munchkins! She took wonderful care of my dogs and cats while I was traveling, and I will for sure book her again in the future. She went above and beyond, and it offered great peace of mind for me while I was away. Thank you so much, Alyssa! (Also, my cat who is extremely timid and has never come out of hiding for ANYONE, came out for Alyssa. There is no better review than that!)”
“She was very communicative and took pictures of my dogs and took them on a long walk. My dogs were so tired afterward. I really appreciate her also being accommodating with me. 10/10”
“Thank you for the long walks this week! Regina continues to be reliable and excellent to work with. Daisy is always happy and healthy when we return home from work.”
“Audrey was such a gem! My dogs loved her, and she was super reliable and communicative. I was out of town for a work trip and it gave me such peace of mind to know my pups were in good hands. I’ll definitely use her again and would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“Shay was absolutely phenomenal—truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever worked with! Our dog is very shy and nervous around new people, but Shay was so patient, gentle, and intuitive that he quickly warmed up to her and felt completely safe and at ease. That alone meant the world to us. She followed our (very detailed!) instructions perfectly and treated our home with the utmost care and respect, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and goes above and beyond for both pets and their owners. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Shay and will 100% be booking with her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I have owned and cared for both dogs and cats, have been around animals all my life, and would love to care for all types of pets! I have a lot of flexibility these days (post-grad life), so I’m willing and able to handle nearly all pet-care needs! I’m currently enjoying the post-grad school life, and have a lot of free time and flexibility to care for your animals. I also have a car, so am very mobile!

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!
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.
Ana is an absolutely incredible dog walker who is consistently punctual, highly communicative, and wonderfully reliable. She has a natural gift with animals, and our pup lights up with joy every single time she arrives. If you are looking for someone who provides top-notch care and total peace of mind, Ana is the perfect choice!
William is fantastic to work with. From our very first interaction, he is extremely communicative, professional, and attentive. He took the time to ask thoughtful questions to get to know Gucci, her personality, routines, preferences, and any special needs. It was clear that he genuinely cared about providing the best possible experience for her. His attention to detail, communication, and genuine love for pets truly set him apart.
Darya was so sensitive and loving with Taco. He was having a tough week with Daddy being away, and she was able to sweetly coax him on his walks each day. This was a great relief to my stress about working late while my husband was out of town. I will certainly be asking for her help in the future.
Tom was INCREDIBLE with my 2 dogs. He walked them every weekday for 5 weeks straight. He was communicative, punctual, caring, and my dogs always came back well exercised and happy. I highly recommend Tom to anyone who needs dog care in San Diego. He’s the best.
Sarah was amazing with my two pitbulls! She was communicative, reliable, and kept me updated with photos and videos. She took great care of my dogs and made me feel completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. My doggies absolutely loved her, and I could tell they were happy and comfortable with her. I look forward to booking with her again! 🐾💕
