Dog Walking El Cerritos

“Karilou has walked my dogs in the past. Gus, my new pooch, immediately took to her. Karilou is friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, has a degree in animal behavior, and also has a knack for capturing awesome photos of Gus. She is nothing short of amazing. Thank you Karilou. Glad you're back!”

About: Hi! I just moved to San Diego from OC with my 4 year old Goldendoodle Willow (who I’ve raised since she was 8 weeks old) to get my masters in social work. She loves hanging with new dogs of all sizes! At home, my mom has two dogs and I’ve been dog sitting for years now. I’ve always been an animal lover and truly enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like part of the family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns I’d love to help! Because I have a puppy at home, I have managed my schedule around her needs and can do the same for your pups! I have all the free time working remote, I’d love to hangout with your dogs and I know my dogs would too! My yard is fully fenced in with lots of area to run. Our home is one story and I work from home, so I’ll be with them the whole time!

About: Hi! I’m Andrew, a student at San Diego State University who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. I’m reliable, responsible, and active, making me a great fit for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’ve helped neighbors in the past with dog-sitting and have only had positive reviews! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’ll also be working part-time, but I only have two classes each week, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits. I’ll always keep my Rover calendar updated so you know exactly when I’m available. I know pets are part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I have over 7 years of hands-on experience with both big and small dogs, including owning an Old English Sheepdog whom I regularly took on long walks, beach trips, and hikes. I’m comfortable with energetic pups who need exercise as well as senior dogs who require patience and gentle care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and safety, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. My goal is always to make your dog feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my pet care commitments to ensure each visit, walk, or stay gets my full attention and is never rushed. I’m organized, punctual, and make sure pets receive consistent care at the times they’re used to. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and playtime are already a regular part of my routine. This allows me to comfortably care for both high-energy dogs who need exercise and more relaxed or senior pets who need a slower pace.

“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 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: What sets me apart is how attentive and patient I am with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take my time to make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for during every visit. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in, I treat each pet like they’re my own and make sure they get not just the basics, but genuine care, affection, and attention. Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and consistent every time. I am currently with a lot of free time, trying to stay active and what better way to go for walks than with a dog. I’m very attentive, patient, and reliable. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during every visit.

“Mike was great with my pup, Mac! He was accommodating and communicative, sending me many pictures and updates of their walk. Highly recommended!”

Anneliese L.

“Tara’s been wonderful with energetic Roo. He looks forward to her visits and it’s great not worrying about him going without play and a walk!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals since I was a kid! Friends and family regularly trust me as their go to pet sitter when they’re out of town, and I take that responsibility seriously. I currently have one dog and three cats who love living with my roommate and me, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple pets and personalities. I stay active with regular walks and runs and would love to bring your pup along for some extra exercise and fun! I currently work full-time, but have a pretty flexible work from home schedule. On days I work from home, I am able to provide full-time dog care. Days I go into the office, I am able to provide care from 6-7 am and then after 5 pm. I provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s normal routine to keep them stress free. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medications, and home care basics. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!

“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!”

Abby R.

“Our pup loved his walks with Savannah! I usually stress abt having anyone care for him in my absence, but she made the whole thing very easy and worry-free for us. We even got little report cards of his walks and activities. We’ll def be using her again! 🤍”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I recently relocated to the San Diego area and looking to build my clientele here. I currently have two Giant Schnoodles and two English Mastiffs, so I'm very comfortable with everything from energetic playtime to caring for any and all breeds. You can trust that your pet will receive dependable, attentive, and loving care every step of the way. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, feeding, or lots of love and attention, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I'm very active and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they stay happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give every pet the best care possible and provide you with peace of mind knowing they're in great hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Since I care for my own dogs every day, I'm already in the routine of giving pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I make it a priority to be reliable, punctual, and responsive so your pet receives consistent, high-quality care. As a military veteran and current healthcare professional, I understand the importance of responsibility, trust, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family, follow your care instructions closely, and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and clear communication every step of the way.

“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.”

“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.”

About: I have owned pets since I was very young, and I currently have 2 cats and a dog at home. I have a close family friend who runs an independent dog-sitting business, and I have assisted her many times throughout my life. I have taken care of many different ages and breeds. I will be available between December 18 through January 9 as I will be back home from college for my winter break. I have no other commitments so I can be very flexible and have plenty of time to play with your pup! I tend to keep my pets inside, only letting them out without a leash if the area is securely gated or fenced off. I can follow any specific instructions for your home that will make you feel at peace with your pet’s safety.

About: Greetings, and welcome! I’m Eucalyptus your Fur Baby Godmother. Animals have been the greatest joy of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for pets of all kinds, and for the past 8 years I’ve had the privilege of providing professional pet care for families who trust me with their beloved companions. My experience includes dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rabbits, ferrets, farm animals, aquatic pets, and many other exotic species. I’ve also cared for senior pets, puppies and kittens, pets with special needs, and animals that require extra patience, medication, or individualized attention. What makes me different is the connection I build with each animal. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and way of communicating. I take the time to earn their trust, making sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, anxious, or simply enjoys quiet company, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. Over the years I’ve helped reinforce good manners, redirect unwanted behaviors through positive interactions, and create calm, enriching experiences that help pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Pet care isn’t just something I do it’s my full-time passion. When your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is receiving dependable, compassionate, one-on-one care. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and extended stays, making me a great fit for vacations, business trips, weekend getaways, or whenever your pet simply deserves a loving companion. I can’t wait to meet you and your wonderful animal family. Until then, may your pets be happy, your travels be worry-free, and a little Fur Baby Godmother magic follow you wherever you go. My schedule is pretty open because caring for pets is what I genuinely enjoy doing. I tend to have a little more flexibility than the average person, so I’m usually able to work around different routines whether that means an early-morning drop-in, a spontaneous trip, a last-minute change of plans, or a cozy little sleepover. I like having the time to actually be there with the pets I care for. Not just stopping by, checking a box, and rushing off. I enjoy the little things getting to know their personalities, following their routines, giving them attention, and letting them feel like they have a little vacation of their own while their humans are away. So if your fur baby needs someone with a flexible schedule, a calm presence, and plenty of time for cuddles, playtime, or simply keeping them company… you may have found your person. I’ve always felt like animals have their own little language, and I genuinely enjoy learning their way of communicating. When a pet comes into my care, I like to meet them where they are. Some babies need structure and routine, some need a little extra patience, and others simply want someone to sit beside them while they decide you’re their new best friend. I follow the routines and care instructions their humans have created for them whether that means crate time, potty training, medication routines, playtime, socializing, quiet time, or plenty of cuddles. Their comfort and safety always come first. I’m also someone who naturally spends a lot of time outdoors, so I love having little adventures with my animal companions walks, fresh air, exploring, sunbathing, or just sitting outside together and watching the world go by. And my definition of a “pet” has never been limited to cats and dogs. I’ve cared for animals of all different personalities, sizes, ages, and species, including exotic pets. I find their little quirks fascinating and enjoy giving each animal the kind of care that makes sense for them. If your baby happens to enjoy a bubble bath, treats, an afternoon adventure, or an unreasonable amount of affection… well, they may have just found their favorite babysitter. I’ve jokingly been called the female version of Dr. Dolittle. I’ll take it. Really, I think animals simply know when someone genuinely enjoys being around them. And I’m very happy to be living in their world. Overnight stays are always welcome, too.

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

About: Hello! I'm Charlie I've been working for over 15 years taking care of children and on occasion, pets. I'm hoping to add more animals to my life as I am finishing my RN-BSN, the stress relief and excuse to get outside that furry friends offer is immeasurable! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs as an occasional sitter/walker and home co-habitant and have had a wonderful feisty cat for over 14 years. (She stays at home unless otherwise specified) I have the most experience with middle aged to older dogs, and manage to win over even the most tentative of furry family members. (I'm also shy, so I attribute it to mutual awkwardness.) I have experience giving eye drops, disguising medication's as treats (or convincing stubbon animals to take medication) and I am experienced in giving injections. I'm more comfortable and experienced with medium and larger dogs , cats of all sizes and temperaments (but i will not turn down the opportunity to make a small dog, bunny, scaley or feathered friend!) . I've experienced some mischievous puppy antics that have led to my finding out that I can keep level headed in an emergency. As I mentioned above, I work in childcare, so I have experience performing work unsupervised in other peoples' homes, am a nurse working on my BSN (so background checks are no issue) and can provide necessary references if requested to ensure my trustworthiness. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about me and my experience. Thank you. I'm currently in school part-time for my BSN while searching for new grad RN positions and helping out with a local nursing association. I have a flexible schedule and can often work around your needs. I usually housesit In a client's home while they are away, but am open to drop-ins. I try and follow a furry friend's routine as closely as possible and if I can't on a day, I make sure that they always get enough potty breaks and adjust walks accordingly. I do tend to take the longest walks in the AM (30-45 min) + before bed (30-1 hr) with shorter 15-30 min "potty" walks during the day . I take into account their needs (feeding/medication/b&b evacuation times) & normal excursion times and my schedule and plan the week out in advance. Written instructions help me with daily tasks or pet personality quirks if they are more set in their ways. I'm happy to water plants, gather mail, take out trash and am comfortable communicating with vendors (repair, pest control etc) if they need to visit when you are away. I treat the home better than I treat my own and aim to maintain (or exceed) the level of cleanliness that existed when I arrived. I'm not shy when it comes to vacuuming, laundering linens & pet bedding as needed while I am staying.
