Dog Walking College Area

“Aria has watched and cared for Sierra prior to me joining rover. She has done a great job communicating with me and taking care of Sierra. This included overnights and giving her a pill each day. She has a dog of her own named Millie who gets along with Sierra.”

About: I have experience with taking care of animals since high school, I am now a 25 year old grad student ready to continue my experience! I am on summer break from my grad program at SDSU, so my currently schedule is extremely flexible. I have my availability open all summer! I am open to catering to the needs of your fur babies! I’ve been trusted with all kinds of tasks & I am sure I can take on whatever you may need.

“Stella is awesome! She is responsible, sweet, and patient with Arlo. She arrives on time and with a positive attitude. I love that Stella takes lots of great pictures - Arlo looks like he had a blast on their walks. So glad we found her!”

About: Before I could speak my first standard language, I would speak with animals. This led me to care for neighbors', friends', family's, fosters and stray animals beginning in elementary school. Every shape, size, breed. I find peace & ability to converse with all, threading genuine connection with any and all animals. I currently make my own schedule, and always seek to spend time with a friend or family's animals. A key thing to note is that my fiancé & I share a vehicle, so we are a package deal. She is also an (inactive) Rover provider and can share her info upon request. I am very physically active and enjoy a pup to run / hike with as well. I travel throughout the metro area for business and meetings as well, so I am willing to go anywhere to be a blessing. Transparency and communication is key, always reaching out to the client to ensure I am following proper procedures. I provide the service of package / mail collection, taking the trash out on trash day, pup-poo yard clean up, and as a skilled trade handyman - can provide assistance / service upon discussion. I strive to leave your home as clean or better than when I arrived.

“Very happy and glad Jessica could help us with a last minute appointment to walk out beagle, we got great pictures and updates on his walk! Would be happy to book another walk with her again!”

About: 14 years of professional dog walking & sitting experience with all breeds, sizes, and ages. Every pup gets personalized attention, patience, and plenty of love. As a full-time student, I keep my schedule flexible to fit yours. I'm available early mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I'm always communicative, reliable, and easy to work with. When dog sitting, your pup has my full attention, always. I make sure every visit includes play time and/or a walk so they stay happy and active. I'm also very aware of my surroundings, especially around other dogs, to make sure your pet stays safe at all times.

“Brenda was amazing! She handled my quirky dog with no problems! She’s was always on time and very communicative Will be rebooking her for sure!”

About: I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Poodle mix, so I know firsthand how nerve wracking it is to hand your dog off to someone you don't know. I get it! I'm not just a sitter, I'm a dog owner who actually understands what you're trusting someone with. And as a Great Dane owner, giant breeds and big personalities are my comfort zone. No size is going to phase me! I run my own creative business, so my schedule is genuinely flexible in a way that most sitters can't offer. No 9 to 5 I'm working around. I can typically accommodate drop ins and walks at times that actually work for you, not just whatever's left in my day. I'm the dog mom who leaves a five page document for my own sitters, so trust me, no request is too silly. Special feeding routine? Weird little habit your dog has that you think "how will I explain this to the dog sitter"? I want to know. I'll follow it. And I always send photo updates so you're not just sitting there wondering how your pup is doing.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and currently have one of my own, so I understand the deep bond we share with our pets. I also have years of experience with dogs—walking, feeding, playing, and overnight house sitting. What truly sets me apart is the level of medical care I’ve provided. When my late cat became ill, I had to administer subcutaneous IV fluids and oral medications daily. That experience taught me not only technical skills but also patience, gentleness, and how to comfort pets during vulnerable moments. I’m confident handling medications, understanding pet behavior, and creating a calm environment for animals of all ages and temperaments. Your pet will be in loving, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets with plenty of time, energy, and attention. I’m available for house sitting and drop-ins during the week, and on weekends. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away! When I care for pets, whether in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routines and preferences to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and keep a calm, pet-friendly environment. I always prioritize their well-being, monitor behavior closely, and provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.

“Wonderful experience working with Mike! He's super communicative and flexible and my dogs (one of which is very scared of new people) both warmed up to him right away. Highly recommend and would book again.”

About: I grew up with 2 large dogs in the house at all times, they were very high energy often needing multiple walks or runs a day. I dog sat for various neighbors throughout high school and my first job at 14 was an under the table gig as an assistant for a local dog trainer for two summers. I work part time at a surf shop however the shifts are never more than 6 hours and don’t make it difficult to attend pets often. Your dog will be visited often typically every 4-5 hours (will be more often if the dog is crated or if the owner request) I am comfortable house sitting as well. When just pet sitting I usually visit the house 3-5 times a day, the first typically around 7-8am to feed your pup and hang out with them for 20-30 mins. The second is usually midday between 11-2 (depending on my work schedule), for my second visit I’ll take your pup on a walk (or run if requested) and then typically hang out with your dog at the house for up to a few hours while I do internship work on my computer or read a book. (On a busier day this longer visit will be spilt into two or three shorter ones). And lastly visting your pup for 20-30 mins to feed them again and use the bathroom before night around 7-9pm. I know everyone has different ways of caring for their pups, I’m very adaptable for whatever your dog may need

About: I helped take care of my first family dog for 10 years and I adopted a super sweet shelter dog last year. I unfortunately had to leave her at home with my parents while I attend college out here in San Diego so I am always happy for any opportunity to get some time with any furry friends. I love taking care of pets and helping them be as happy and healthy as possible! I just finished my 3rd year at SDSU studying Civil Engineering and this summer and I am going my first internship. With that, I am busy during weekdays but I am available weekends. Being around furry friend always helps me destress so I would love to house sit during the weekends! My availability lists Saturday and Sunday as I cannot do full days on Friday, but I am available after 6PM! I am able to maintain feeding and exercise schedules, make sure that there are no possible dangers to pets either in house or out and about on walks, and I just generally love spending time with animals to give them the care and engagement they need and deserve.

“Gabrielle was a perfect fit for my dog Dani! She was always reliable and very caring. Anyone would be lucky to have Gabrielle take care of their pets!”

About: I was raised surrounded by animals of all kinds that brought me so much joy and knowledge. I’m comfortable with tiny insects to large farm animals. I’ve done bottle feeding and walks with young animals. I’ve moved from home but would love to continue caring for animals all around! I work in education so my summer is open for anything! Only my Sundays am I usually busy in the morning to afternoon. I’ll seek to meet your needs as best as I can! :) My services will cater to you and your pet’s needs! I’ll always want to read the room to know the pets needs, while ensuring I stick to their care-schedule and keep them fed, entertained, and well kept in a clean environment!

“She was the best!! Was able to help me last minute and sent pictures of my doggy to show how happy he was!!”

“I hired Zane to walk my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Zane was consistently punctual, always arriving on time to pick up and drop off my dog. He also had excellent communication throughout the entire process, providing me with updates on my dog's well-being and behavior during the walk. What really impressed me was the level of detail in Beni’s updates. He would let me know where they walked, how long they walked for, and if my dog had any issues or special needs during the walk. It was clear that he truly cared about my dog's well-being and was attentive to his needs. Overall, I highly recommend Zane as a dog walker. His punctuality, excellent communication, and attention to detail make him a reliable and trustworthy choice for anyone in need of pet care services.”

“I am so thrilled with Sara! My pups are high energy and she really put them to work on their walk and provided so many updates! She went above and beyond just the walk and I know they had a blast. Will be booking her again!!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’ve always been around and cared for animals. I also have experience with leash aggressive dogs — my dog at home can be reactive around other dogs, so I have learned how to handle those situations calmly and safely. I am currently a student taking online courses over the summer, so I am often available everyday of the week unless I had prior commitments/appointments. I always check in with owners about their pet’s behavior before a walk or visit, so I know what to be aware of and what works best so I can make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.

“Audrey arrived on time for the walk. She was professional and sent pictures and a note at the end. I would definitely have Audrey walk my boy again!”
