Dog Walking Del Mar

“Ellie takes wonderful care of our Tapi. She's very attentive, cares for him like he's her own dog, and communicates very well. She's prompt and super reliable. We're very happy to have her.”

About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and I don’t rush visits—I take the time to truly connect. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and pets who need a little extra reassurance. I follow routines closely, keep communication open, and always put your pet’s safety and comfort first. My goal is to make your time away completely stress-free. I’m currently working remote part time, so excited to spend my time with dogs outdoors. Throughout the week, I plan my schedule around drop-ins and walks so each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I treat every visit as quality time, not just a task, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and seen. Pet care keeps me active, grounded, and genuinely brings joy into my day. In your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow your instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, playtime, potty breaks, and any training cues you use. I keep the home secure, respect your space, and always leave everything clean and in order.

“One of the best walkers around. Pretty knowledgeable takes her time with a new puppy just starting out. Has a super awesome amount of patience.”

“Lyndsey was great!. Although I didn’t meet her I was grateful she could let Teddy out with her busy schedule She was flexible with walk times, posted pictures of my pup and was communicative on the app which is awesome ! As a fellow nurse I felt safe having her come to our place and walk Teddy - I will def use her again!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager, and I truly love spending time with animals—it feels like such an honor and a privilege. While I don’t currently have pets of my own due to my travels, caring for other people’s pets helps fill that void until I can adopt a furry friend of my own! I work from home with a flexible schedule. I pet sit and dog walk for friends and family whenever I can because I love it. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is secure, free of hazards, and suited to the pet’s needs. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including dietary restrictions, medication schedules, and preferred routines. When walking dogs, I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding unsafe areas and extreme weather conditions. In a client’s home, I ensure doors and gates are properly closed, and I respect the pet’s space while providing plenty of attention and care. My goal is to create a stress-free, comfortable experience for both pets and their owners!

“Sarah is amazing! I’m so grateful for her love for my little man 🐶. She’s always so easy to communicate with and keeps me up today on her visits / walks with Cuzco!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since as long as I can remember! I’ve helped train puppies and large dogs. I was a foster to many different types of dogs for two years! I will go the extra mile to care for your animal by playing with them to get them mentally and physically exercised. I love all animals! I am a teacher so I have my summers off! I am available on weekdays and weekends as long as I get a days heads up. I can travel to your house to let the dog out or feed your cat. I have a fenced in yard and no animals or kids. When going to your place, I can bring my own leash and toys if needed. I have my own mode of transportation so traveling back and forth will not be a problem.

About: Ive had a cat for a long time in my family and now I have 2 cats of my own. I can clean litter boxes, feed, play, bathe, groom(even matted cats),shave and pet them.

I constantly take breaks to make sure I play and pet cats I have an entire extra room that will be for your cats and I will use slow introduction to get our pets to get along as well as feliway.

“Brittney to the rescue! She was super accommodating to us being first time Rovers. She communicates very thoroughly and thoughtfully. Our little doggo was super happy to have her come take him for a quick walk, pee, & poop. Thank Brittney for taking care of our pets so well. We can tell you really love animals of all types.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and San Diego-based grad student with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up, my family always had dogs in the house, from rescues, energetic pups, protective breeds, and sweet seniors, so I'm comfortable with just about any temperament or need. Over the years I've dog-sat for friends and family, and I regularly help with my mom's dog walking and sitting business when I'm home. I’d love to give your dog some extra love and attention while you’re busy or away. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, or just some company, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and always make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. Can’t wait to meet you and your dog! My schedule is fairly flexible on both weekdays and weekends. I'm available for midday walks, potty breaks, and overnight stays. Happy to accommodate last-minute requests. I will always prioritize keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and stress-free whether at my place or yours. My neighborhood is quiet, residential, and has plenty of walking paths and green spaces!

About: I’ve had many animals growing up, frogs to bunnies to dogs. They have always gravitated towards me, greeting them with loving open arms. I am excellent at walking dogs even if they are a little leash scared. I have dealt with situations where you encounter other dogs that don’t see eye to eye, staying calm and diverting the situation results in the best outcome. I understand some animals have schedules and I value those as much as the owner. Our pets are part of the family always. Currently have a lot of free time, my schedule is really open to any times. I can be flexible and work around your daily schedule. I will always enter a home with caution to assure the pet is not frightened, make my presence known, and help them welcome me. Following the rules of the house and knowing important details about the pet is very helpful to make sure they feel comfortable too. Taking the pet on the desired walk time or playing with them indoors/outdoors. Also, being respectful of the home you are in, as you are trusting me with your fur baby.

About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.

“Debbie is absolutely a gem! She was so open to walking Cuzco for me, he felt comfortable with her. She kept up in communication with me while I was away. She went above and beyond for him, and I’m so grateful!”

About: I work from home, which means your dog gets attention all day, not just morning and evening! Since I was a teenager, friends and family have trusted me with their dogs, and that trust has only grown. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages - from a 9 year old Shih Tzu to an 85-pound Doberman - and I treat every dog like my own. I live in Del Mar, surrounded by green spaces and parks, so your dog will get 3–4 walks a day in a beautiful area. I live with my husband who is another dog lover! Here’s what you can count on from me: - Frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing - Strict adherence to your specific instructions and routines - A calm, loving home environment with no other pets I’d love to meet your dog and learn what makes them wag their tail! Feel free to reach out with any questions :) **Lastly, I go by Valentina (middle name) - that’s why you see that name in some of the reviews** Schedule: I work from home in Software Sales with a flexible calendar, so I can easily work around your dog’s existing routine - whether that’s a mid-morning walk, a post-lunch nap, or an afternoon play session. Weekends I’m even more available My home is calm, pet-proofed, and free of other animals. I’m also trained in oral medication administration, so dogs with special health needs are always welcome.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love their company. My cat Manny was with me for 18 amazing years, and I’ve also cared for several dogs—including a Cocker Spaniel I raised from a puppy. As he aged, he developed glaucoma and eventually went blind. Supporting him through surgeries and daily care taught me how to provide patient, gentle, and loving support for senior pets and those needing extra attention. I care for dogs right here in Del Mar, just a few blocks from the beach—only four blocks from the Del Mar Dog Park on 9th Street and within walking distance of Del Mar Dog Beach. I offer exclusive, personalized boarding, so your pup will receive my full attention and care. Your furry family member will enjoy snuggles, shady seaside walks, fresh ocean breezes, and—if you approve—delicious home-baked biscuits and treats. I also offer safe, supervised socialization with other dogs at Del Mar Dog Beach or Del Mar Dog Park (9th Street) offered on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays after 3:30pm. (only if approved by you). Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or just relax with a calm, caring companion, I’ll treat them like family—and send you plenty of adorable photo updates while you’re away! I work part-time and from home, which gives me the flexibility to fit my day around your pet’s routine. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or beach outings, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I understand how important consistency is. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, have a clean litter box or yard, and most importantly—lots of love and attention. I take a calm and respectful approach to meeting new dogs and cats. I let them come to me on their terms, and whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone to quietly share space with, I’m there for them. For dogs, I provide plenty of one-on-one time—walks, play, mental stimulation, and affection—based on their energy level and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages, including those who may need extra help due to medical or behavioral issues. I always keep safety and cleanliness a top priority and will stay in communication with you throughout the visit so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

“Great dog walker and super responsive and friendly! Our puppy loves her.”
