Dog Walking in Encanto, San Diego, CA

“Ra-chel was a trooper trying to find our place! She was excited to walk Benji and Benji was excited to be walked by her! She’s a pet parent so she gave him extra love. Would recommend and book with her again!”

“Vanessa is great with my 9month old dog and my dog adores her. I have never seen my dog warm up to someone so quickly. I can tell that she genuinely has a huge heart for dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“I am so grateful to Monique, she did such a great job helping to take care of our Yoyo while we were out of town. My dog is not always easy but took right to Monique. She kept me updated and sent me photos. Especially when you are out of town it is so important to know someone is taking such good care of your pet. I will definitely be reaching out to Monique again and appreciate her so much.”

About: I have 10 plus years experience with dogs, I have 2 fur babies who always bring me joy. I have loved animals from a very young age and treat them with love, kindness and respect. With my own 2 pups I cook, clean, play, get them to their vet appointments, clean their teeth, make sure they are groomed regularly. I treat my fur babies like they are literally my children, this is the same treatment your fur babies will get from me. I am available Monday - Friday from 4pm - 8pm and weekends upon requests. Would love the opportunity to work together and build a relationship. I currently am only offering either dog walks or drop in visits. I am not able to care for pets in my home, although that can change in the future.

“Natalia has been super with our boy! She has gone above and beyond to make sure our dog felt comfortable with her, he is loving his walks! 😊”

About: I’m Alex, and I share my life with three wonderful dogs of all shapes and sizes — Athena the German Shepherd, Toby the Dachshund, and Oso the Poodle. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, handling everything from bathing, nail clipping, and grooming to daily exercise and cleanup. Above all, I make sure they’re healthy, happy, and loved. I’m currently in my transition year from college to law school, so I have plenty of time and a very flexible schedule to spend with your pets. I’m available from early mornings to late evenings, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended visits whenever you need. Your pet’s health and safety are always my number one priority. During walks, I make sure they get safe, enjoyable exercise and plenty of fresh air. I typically bring my own dog bowls, fresh water for hydration, and treats if needed (with your approval). For drop-in visits, I check food and water, clean up any messes, and give them the care and attention they need — from playtime to quiet companionship. I follow your instructions closely so your pet feels secure, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Juliet is wonderful! Her communication is great. And I appreciate her patience with my kwirky fur baby. I will totally continue to use her!”

About: Hello! My name is Kimberly and I "fell into" housesitting/petsitting by way of friends' needs, and then got busier, and busier, and... I am a nurse and because of my flexible schedule I started taking my friends' dogs out during the week when they work full-time. On top of that, I housesit in order to make sure your animals can stay in their own environment when you are away. I have a loving Shepsky (Shepherd Husky) who is great with all animals and humans, and a 19yo tortie kitty that I've had my entire adult life! I feel better when I leave if they are in their own home. They are my furmily and I will treat yours as I would want for mine. I currently work 3 12 hour shifts, which means I have 4 days available during the week to care for your animals. Please note I try really hard to update my rover calendar, but my schedule flexes often so I am not always able to stay on top of it. Pets are never left alone at my house unattended. Please only well-socialized, well-behaved pets (aka - no marking, barking, aggression). We have a small, fenced area out front.

About: I’m a quick learner and always follow instructions carefully. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including playful young pets and quiet seniors. I’m gentle, patient, and always pay attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and keeping them safe, happy, and loved. I also keep the home tidy and peaceful. I currently have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to the needs of your pets and home. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I’m available to provide consistent and loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and happy, When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and cleanliness I would in my own. I always follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any special instructions. I prioritize safety at all times—making sure doors and gates are secure, keeping hazardous items out of reach, and closely supervising pets both indoors and outdoors. I create a calm and loving environment where pets feel safe, whether I’m there for a short visit or an extended stay. Trust, clear communication, and genuine care are always at the heart of what I do.

About: When you need someone to take care of your pet, you want someone who genuinely cares and treats your pet like they would their own. And that’s exactly what I would do. When I take care of pets I like to send pictures and videos of them everyday so it’s almost like the owner never left. It depends on if I have opening or closing shift at my part time job and what kind of care the animal is in need of. I have a very spacious apartment with a big balcony. There are a lot of grass spots that are easily accessible from my unit for easy bathroom breaks and outdoor walks. I can crate your pet if needed.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 7 and have always enjoyed every second of it. From the puppy stage with biting, to hyper teens, to senior dogs requiring extra care, I’ve done it all. As a past dog owner myself, I understand the importance of getting a trustworthy and caring sitter that is capable of providing even those small services that are unique to your pup. Do they need specific music to fall asleep? A home cooked meal for their special appetite? A weird food combination to get their medication down? I’ll do it all and with a smile! Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! I’m currently a college student home for the summer so I will have all the time needed to make sure your dog is cared for and given all the attention not only needed but also wanted! The free time allows me for great at home care but also possible trips outside enriching for both your pet and I. My home has a nice outdoor space for dogs to roam freely when they please as I like to keep the door open for easy bathroom/barking breaks. There is fencing and gates ensuring their safety if they prefer to be outside while I’m indoors. I currently have no dogs so your pet will most likely be the only one to enjoy the space.

About: Hello! Is it enough to say I love dogs? From playing fetch to snuggling at the end of a long day - I’m down for it all. I grew up around dogs and I’m more than happy to open my home to some new friends. I’m comfortable with old dogs, young dogs, big dogs, and little dogs. I can easily tailor my schedule to fit your furbaby’s. I have a fenced yard with more than enough room to run around and play. There are many parks around my house just waiting to be explored and adventures to go on. Your pup will need a vacation from all the fun we’re going to have. I understand how hard it is to pick someone to trust your dog with and I promise I’ll give them all the love and attention they deserve. I currently work full time from home with a flexible schedule, allowing for lots of play and cuddles during the day. I welcome the extra company! Our home has a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run around. We live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for long walks. We do have two dogs of our own, Luna and Mochi. Dogs are allowed on the couch but not allowed on the beds.

About: I make sure that every dog has enough attention, affection, and love. I would love to have the chance to show that I am willing and able to take care of your dog. I have my own dogs and can relate that they need the best care. I honestly just want to take care of dogs in order to get some experience for a future career as a vet tech. I have always loved dogs and any other animal. I am great at following rules and will always follow directions given. I know that each fur parent has their own specific routines and I will always try to follow it to the best of my availability to keep everyone comfortable. Currently I don’t have a full time job so I can dedicate my time to fit pet care most days of the week and most times throughout the day. When pet sitting I always have a routine. I make sure they’re fed, take a walk, spend time outside, drink water, and go to the restroom. I do the same with my dogs they have a scheduled routine as well as scheduled meal times and bathroom breaks due to their needs. My dogs are also trained to let me know when they need to go outside and have some fun time and use the restroom.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 4 years, including regular walks, drop-ins, and staying in clients’ homes for days or even weeks. I truly love working with animals and treat every dog like my own baby—with extra love, attention, and care. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs and always take the time to bond, build trust, and make them feel safe and happy. This is more than just a job to me because it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can be flexible with timing based on your needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I take pride in making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. When I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and make your pet’s comfort and safety my top priority.

I take trust seriously, and I always aim to make both pets and pet parents feel confident and relaxed.
