“Leah was wonderful with Winnie. She went above and beyond to care for Winnie and clean up any accidents that sometimes happens with older dogs. We will be sure to use her in the future.”

About: I've had a love for dogs my entire life and would love to be that person for them when you are away. They are my new best friend. I have open availability to take care of your special friend. I can be an early bird or night owl just for them. Thank you In your home I will always follow your rules. That is very important to me so your pet gets the best care they possibly can. I will always reach out with questions.
About: Dogs are my happy place. I actually prefer being around dogs than people! I feel like they bring out the best in me and I help bring out the best in them. I adopted a senior dog 3 years ago and treat him like my child. I keep up his medication schedule and ensure he is always comfortable. I cook all his food to ensure he is getting only the best! I can administer eye drops, ear drops and can provide tasty treats to trick them into taking their medicine. I'm currently in between jobs and am looking to walk dogs as a way to get out of the house and also to provide me with something to do each day. I am basically available any time. I take the utmost care in my dog and will do the same for yours. I will happily set up a meet and greet upon our first booking together so that you can see my interaction with your dog. I always walk closest to the curb to ensure the dog can't run into the street and I will always cross when I see another dog coming in order to protect your pup. I live in an apartment which doesn't provide much space but I love taking dogs to the park (and dog park with your permission).
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I’m currently in nursing school. I’ve had dogs my whole life, ranging in all sizes (15 lbs-80 lbs). While I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve also been dog sitting for as long as I can remember for neighbors, family friends, etc. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and will always treat your animals like they were my own. I adore my own dogs and they are my whole life. I understand leaving your animals in the care of someone else can be scary and can cause anxiety for both humans and pets so I am always upfront and communicate to keep you updated. I would love to be able to take one stressor off your plate by taking good care of your animals! I’m currently in school for nursing and I do have some full days, but I am always flexible to work around my schedule. I know it in advance as well and can be upfront to see if it would be a good fit. I’m comfortable just stopping in, staying at your place, truly whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Im very used to having a lot on my plate and having a schedule so I can always make one work. I am not able to board animals but I can stay at your house, do multiple drop ins throughout the day, etc. I’m flexible! I will always update you when I get there and when I’m leaving so you know the care your animal is getting!
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising two Frenchies and a Chihuahua. I also care for loved ones’ pets when needed, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care. Since I am currently not working, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate my full attention to caring for pets. My days are focused on providing love, playtime, walks and companionship, making sure your furry friend feels happy and well cared for throughout the day and/or night. I’m available to give your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll keep up with their usual routine–feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. When the dogs are calm and resting, I will use that quiet time to tidy up and clean around the house, so everything looks even better than when you left. It’s all about keeping your pets and home happy!
“Christina was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the experience. I was working in a different time zone and I was frequently reminded that my dog was in good had with all of the pictures Christina sent on a daily basis.”

About: Hi! I’m Cassandra, I’ve spent more than 35 years around dogs and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve cared for all kinds, including a disabled Jack Russell, and my two beloved Boxers who are no longer with us. My 5-year-old son, Jackson, adores animals too, and together we’d love to welcome your pup into our home and treat them like family. I work from home full-time and am available every day to provide attentive, consistent care. Your pet will receive the best possible treatment and plenty of love while staying with us. I have a fenced backyard with grass, perfect for safe playtime. I also love going on walks and will make sure your pet gets lots of exercise and attention, just let me know their routine!
“Ryan is incredibly insightful and thoughtful - Our pup is a rescue and was attacked as a puppy so she is quite skiddish and quirky. He was so caring and considerate with her. He eased her into everything and took extra care. His detailed updates were also greatly appreciated! I would absolutely recommend Ryan and will be reaching out to him for future walks. Cant say enough wonderful things!”

“I highly recommend Victoria as a dog walker. She was prompt, friendly, and professional, asking all the relevant questions to ensure our black Labrador was well taken care of. I had an injury and needed a dog walker at the last minute. Victoria responded to my request within minutes and arrived at my house shortly after. It was an amazing experience, and I will definitely hire her again. She’s awesome!”

“We booked Katherine for dog walking for our 2 doggies on our wedding day, when we had the meet and greet time I immediately felt her love for animals and her positive energy. We appreciate her for being such an amazing person ❤️”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I provide compassionate, loving and reliable care. I have grown up with dogs. Have a natural way with them. Every pup feels familiar to me. With years of experience in care, I’ll treat your fur baby like they’re my own family! I’m available anytime, day or night- 7 days a week to provide loving, dependable care for your fur baby. Whether it’s overnight care, daily visits or walks and drop ins, I’m very easily reachable and responsive. While in my care, I dedicate my time to taking care of the pets I’m responsible for. Whether it’s walks, feeding time, cuddles, or playtime, I’ll ensure they feel cherished! My family is small. I live with my husband who is a dog lover himself. Our son goes to UCSD, and lives on campus. When he’s home, he cuddles and loves on dogs just as much as we do. Our home is safe and convenient. Quiet neighborhood of townhomes. We have a wide open greenbelt where all the dogs go to play and walk. There are play times where the neighborhood dogs come out to frolic. However if you me fur baby is not into that, we don’t have to socialize. Can definitely tailor the experience to your dogs preferences. Your dog is my top priority! What they like, I like.
About: Hi my name is Alexis I am very friendly with all pets, and I absolutely can’t wait to meet your pup no matter the size or breed I’ve experienced from as small as a chihuahua to as big as a Rottweiler. I am very athletic so I will be able to keep up with your high energy pet. I take care of my sisters German shepherd mix a lot and he is very active. I promise to treat your pup as if he/she were part of my family. I am very very excited to meet you and your pet. I hope you consider me to watch over your little family member. I hope to hear from you soon. I am currently working part time 5 minutes away from my house so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pup! There is a small park in my neighborhood and the dog park is also a short walk away so I would take your pup on as many walks as he/she is up for. I don’t have any pets at the moment but I used to have a chihuahua and a Rottweiler I also don’t have a fenced yard or a big backyard that’s why I prefer walking to the park or dog park
“Helena did such a great job! Havana can be a little reluctant and slow sometimes in her old age but Helena was super patient with her and made sure she got a good walk. I’d definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life and have been pet sitting for friends and family for years. I also have a very energetic blue heeler–border collie mix of my own, so I’m used to handling high-energy, playful pups who love to stay active. Whether it’s long walks, games of fetch, or just some good cuddle time, I make sure every dog feels loved, safe, and cared for like my own. I’m patient, reliable, and always pay attention to each dog’s unique needs, from energetic puppies to older dogs who just want to relax. Pet care easily fits into my week because I love spending time with dogs whenever I can! I’m fully available on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays, and on the other days I’m free after 4pm once I’m off work. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I make sure to give each dog plenty of attention, playtime, and love during the time we have together. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. I give lots of attention, exercise, and affection so your dog feels happy and at ease while you’re away. I always make sure water bowls are full, keep the space clean, and send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: Great Scott! My name is Olivia. I love dogs like family, and treat them the same way. Your pup’s comfort, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. We brought home my first pup when I was 4, and I have been taking care of dogs ever since. You can see my pup, Holly, in my profile. Fun Fact: Her birthday is Christmas Eve! I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of flexibility to take care of your pups. Currently, Wednesdays-Saturdays are the best days for me, but I am available mornings Monday and Tuesday. What sets me apart is my dedication and follow-through. When you book with me, you receive reliable care and service that goes above and beyond. I listen closely—to my clients, and their pups. In addition to loving your pups, care to me means safety on every walk, comfort in each season, and an hour pups truly enjoy.
“Tatum has been looking after my very stubborn golden retriever and is just the best. This is the first time I have left him and she has done such a great job. I would highly recommend her for any of your pets needs!! It’s also a plus when your baby loves them too! 💕”

About: I’m a trustworthy working professional looking to watch cute dogs on the weekends. This is my first time not living with a dog, and I’m in much need of canine time! I’ve had Golden Retrievers all my life and I’ve always been the go-to neighborhood dog watcher & walker growing up! I’d love to help walk, play, or watch your dog on the weekends! I’m currently working full-time at a medical device company but I am generally around and available on the weekends! I don’t have time at the moment to get a dog due to my busy work week schedule but I’d love to be able to be around and help out with dogs on the weekend! My roommate is allergic to dogs so I wouldn’t be able to bring dogs to my house but I’d be willing to be outdoors and explore the area with a furry friend or come to the dogs home to help take care!

Stephanie did an awesome job walking my dog!! She drove him and took him to a trail, and even walked him a little longer then the time I requested. She left great notes, making me feel comfortable with the decisions she made with him on their walk. Thanks again, Stephanie!

Mariia went above and beyond with my dog, Mr, Puk. She not only walked my dog but played fetch with him as well. When Mariia left, my dog tried leaving with her 😂. Mariia was polite and courteous upon our interactions. She will be my go -to dog walker moving forward!
