Dog Walking in College Area, San Diego, CA

About: I have been caring for pets for around 4 years and have experience with all sizes and breeds. Understanding the importance of a specialized diet and how to administer meds or other special care needs. I am an environmental science major with a passion for animal husbandry and ensure that every receives the best care. As a pet lover I have the time and commitment to make sure every animal is properly care for. I care for pets with a happy attitude, guaranteeing that they will always be the first priority when present. Being apart of an animals routine is very important and I will be able to change my abilities based on the certain needs.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including multiple dogs and cats. Both of my parents are veterinarians, so from a young age I was exposed to how to care for animals and developed a strong understanding of pet health and safety. I interned at a veterinary hospital in 2024, where I had hands on experience assisting with animal care in the oncology department. I’m currently in my final semester as a biology major at SDSU, with plans to attend veterinary school and work in a vet hospital after I graduate. I also have years of experience dog walking and pet sitting, and I truly love caring for every pet I get to meet! My schedule varies week to week, but I’m very flexible and happy to work around your pet’s needs! I do my best to accommodate different routines, feeding times, and walks. I provide care in clients’ homes. I make sure to follow all routines and safety instructions carefully, respect each home, and keep the owners updated of what's going on!

About: I have grown up with 3 to 4 dogs at a time my entire life. I truly have a passion for animals and enjoy making them feel well cared for. I’ve cared for my own pet pets as well as pets for family and friends whether that is walking, sitting, or spending the night! I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have worked with various breeds, sizes, and energies, and overall adapt to your pets personality. I am a student at SDSU and only have classes twice a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I also work a part-time job twice a week. I have availability to walk/care for your pets and ensure they have a great time. I prioritize pets safety and comfort. I follow instructions very closely and make sure the pets feel cared for and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated. I like to give the best treatment I can give whether that’s long walks or even just fresh water throughout the day. I love to wind down with cuddles and making them feel safe.

About: I started pet-sitting when I was 16 and I’ve loved it ever since! I absolutely adore all animals and have cared for pets of all kinds, from month-old kittens to 14 year old dogs. I can’t get enough of them! My care experience spans from one-hour dog walks to week-long house sitting. I am also a very good communicator and respond to texts very quickly! I am currently a student attending SDSU, so I am able to provide help and services any day of the week past 4:00 pm, and anytime on the weekends! My schedule can be generally flexible. Not only do I make sure the pets I look after are more than properly fed, hydrated and walked, I also make sure they are given good affection, cuddles, and love! I get super scared leaving my cats alone when I leave my house, so I understand very well wanting to making sure they’re properly cared for.

“Andrea is great with Maverick. He's very needy and has separation anxiety. She has great patience in getting Maverick to leave the house when he doesn't want to. Thank you Andrea!”

About: For the past three years, I have been the primary caregiver for a dog, gaining hands-on experience in daily care and long-term responsibility. I handled feeding schedules, regular walks, grooming, bathing, and basic training while making sure my dog received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also monitored changes in behavior or health and made sure vet visits and medications were handled on time. What sets me apart from others is the consistency and care I bring to animal care. I don’t see pets as a temporary responsibility, but as family members who rely on trust, patience, and understanding. I’m attentive to routines, sensitive to a dog’s emotional needs, and quick to adapt when something feels off. My experience has taught me responsibility, compassion, and how to create a safe, loving environment skills that allow me to provide reliable and thoughtful care to any pet. I am now only working part time! so that gives me plenty time with our furry friends. I like to work my schedule based on you guys so it’s really flexible I have a fenced backyard and smoke feee environment! i’m very knowledgeable on why is toxic to animals and will always keep a look out for that. I also love walking around the neighborhood and could say that it is safe.

“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 love to be outside and active so taking long walks with dogs is enjoyable for me! I will spend quality time with them cuddling and playing with them or just simply being around them in their home. I am a full time student and will be working part time so I am here to work with the owners to make sure I am a good fit! I do not mind driving or getting up early to care for them and make it work! I will be diligent in following the house rules with keeping things clean, pets safe, as well as taken care of. I will make sure they are provided with all that they need.

About: I have been taking care of both dogs and cats for over 15 years and can confidently work with pets of all ages. I grew up with both a 12 lb dog and a 115 lb dog so I am comfortable working with dogs of any size. I am an extremely active college student that is more than happy to take dogs along with me on hikes, walks, or the beach. I can work with both puppies and senior pets and am more than willing to help with any special accommodation that your pet may need. :) I am currently a college student at San Diego State University who has online classes except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. My schedule is flexible and allows me to take dogs out whenever it is necessary. I am active and go on walks and/or hikes daily, normally in the mornings. I can do my work from any location as long as I have WiFi. In clients homes I can confidently feed, walk, and watch pets in any environment. I am happy to spend some time playing with pets and catering to any social requests. I live in a house with 3 other college aged girls who all have experience in watching pets and love taking care of them. Most girls have classes during the week days so I am home alone. Our house has wood floors and a large backyard with grass and wood. It is completely fenced off and we normally leave the sliding door open so pets can freely walk in and out.

“Matt is an exceptionally awesome dog walker. My energetic Airedale terrier loves him and I REALLY appreciate the ground he covers with her outdoors in a short period of time!!! With Matt I know she is actually getting a lively energetic vigorous outing (as opposed to an amble and sniff) which makes all the difference when I'm at work. Photos of her are panting/smiling/happy outdoors. If you have a smart/hunting/working dog or a high-exercise needs dog, Matt is who you want. Seriously. Also he gave my pup extra TLC/company when she was in surgery recovery and he didn't even know us then. Such a kind person.”

“Jessica really made me feel comfortable leaving our dog home. Great communication, execution, pictures and love to Milo! 10/10 would use again!”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have always lived with a cat and a dog. I have even helped my doodle birth and care for a litter of puppies which was a really cool experience! I have been with animals all ages, from puppies and kittens, to seniors. I am currently a full time nursing student, so I am availing for house sitting mostly on weekends! But always feel free to reach out, and i’ll see if I can fit something in like house sitting or dog walking during the week as well. I will be caring for pets in my clients home. By doing this the animal is already used to this environment and can maintain routine and feels safe.

About: I was raised with two dogs since I was a baby, and I have helped look after dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I am also a zoology student with a passion for animal behavior, so you can rest assured I will give your pet the best care I am able to. I am currently home for the summer and have availability for any time and day of the week. I have a flexible schedule and will work around when I am needed. I am able to go to your home whenever needed. I will clean up after your pet and provide play, food, and enrichment as instructed.

About: Hi! I’m Riley . I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have had six of my own over the years, a Border Aussie, Beagle, Labrador, Husky, Australian Shepherd, and Cocker Spaniel. Because of that, I’m really comfortable with all types of dogs, from small to big high-energy working breeds. I’ve been pet sitting for over a year and a half, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I enjoy getting to know their personalities, sticking to their routines, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience with basic training and keeping pups active and engaged. Whether your dog wants long walks, lots of playtime, or just someone to chill with on the couch, I’ve got them. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!💛 Besides my classes, I’m pretty flexible, so pet care fits into my routine really easily. We can plan everything around your dog’s schedule and what works best for you. I’m happy to adjust and make sure your pup gets the attention they need. I care for pets in my own home by introducing them to my housemates and seeing if they are comfortable first in my home. Then I will take them to the beach and parks that are right next to my house. In the owners home I will be respectful of their belongings and not touch anything I shouldn’t. I will feed pets if needed on schedule, give them attention, walks, and doing anything else asked if needed.
