Dog Walking Encanto

About: In total I’ve had 5 dogs in my lifetime, dating far back to when I was a baby! Dogs of many sizes and kinds of dogs from small to big, a labrador rottweiler mix, bichon frise and the rest being rat terriers. So from about the time I was born until I was 13 (I am now 20), I owned 5 dogs :). I loved being able to walk my dogs, taking them to parks, just being in their company really. I look after my friends’ dogs on occasion as well as my relative’s when they’re busy and decided that I would love to make it into a career. I don’t have a job, and I’m a student at Southwestern, I was full time last semester but the semester ended just last week. I will be fully free for the next two weeks with the exception of Friday’s from 6pm-11pm (can be negotiated if need be!). I’m open every week day and every day of weekend, willing to work anywhere from 8am until about 5pm. I will be taking one class in the summer, ballet (dance), that begins June 15th, ends August 8th and runs Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:25am to 11:25 AM for all three days. I would not be allowed to host any pet in my house as we have two babies in the house and we’re not fully aware of their allergies yet, however, it would be best for me to do drop ins or house sitting sessions for that reason. I think doing a meet and greet beforehand would be amazing so that we could have a chance to meet each other first and maybe introduce me to your pet to see if I could be a good match to sit for them instead of blindly throwing me with them!

“Isabella is very punctual and did great with my big American staffy!!! Thank you so much!!”

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. My dog, Bearra, a Lab and German Shepherd mix, recently passed away after living an amazing 15.5 years. She was such a huge part of my life and taught me how important patience, love, exercise, and attentive care are for pets at every stage of life. As a teacher on summer break, I’m looking forward to spending more time outside doing something I truly enjoy, caring for and spending time with dogs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, caring, and attentive service for both you and your dog. I am a teacher on summer break, so I currently have a very flexible schedule with my days, evenings, and weekends available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I enjoy being active and outside, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine and gives me the opportunity to spend time doing something I genuinely love. While I do not have a private yard, my complex has safe grassy areas for walks and bathroom breaks, and I enjoy taking dogs on walks around Coronado, Seaport Village, and Miramar Reservoir. I treat pets like family, so they are welcome on the furniture and will receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care while they are with me.

“Amber did a great job walking Coco. Coco was instantly attached to her and showed her a lot of love. I felt very comfortable with Amber. I will definitely reach out to Amber again.”

About: I prioritize clear, timely communication with owners and provide honest updates, photos, and notes after each visit. I have taken care of several different pets such as cats and dogs. I will always ensure the best care for the pets under my supervision. I can also keep up with high energy pets, but also provide calm energy for the pets who like to just hang around. I am currently working part time and will be attending medical school starting in the fall. My weekends are almost always free and can frequently provide overnight care during the week. I will ensure to provide clear and frequent communication with host when taking care of your pets in your home or when visiting. Trust is a priority to me when taking care of your pets so I will ensure it is earned from both your pets and from yourself.

“Janet takes such great care of my dogs and makes it so much easier to be away from them. She’s attentive, patient, communicative, and my dogs absolutely love her. They always get plenty of exercise, attention, and quality care, and are happy and relaxed when I get home. I absolutely trust Janet with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!”

“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!”

“Monique is such an amazing pet guardian. She works well to accommodate and flexes with my schedule, is communicative and has such a calmness about her that my dog and cats all like and trust her. I’m at ease when I know my pets are under her care whenever I’m away.”

About: Hi! My name is Valeria, and I have always loved spending time with dogs and caring for animals. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to treat your pet like family. I have a puppy that I've been raising and caring for since they were three months old, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency that pets need every day. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I'm comfortable handling all kinds of personalities and activity levels. I love taking dogs on walks or runs, playing with them, and making sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for. Being the oldest sibling has also taught me a great deal about responsibility. I've spent years helping care for my younger sibling whenever my mom was busy, which has strengthened my patience, reliability, and ability to stay calm in different situations. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I'm always happy to accommodate any special instructions, behaviors, or needs to make them feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am currently a Senior in High School, so I am looking for a flexible job where I can still gather some money for college. I can work only on some week days and on most weekends. As I mentioned before I have a dog of my own and the whole apartment in animal friends. We have lots of toys and it is a safe environment for animals. I regularly walk my dog for long walks around my apartment complex.

About: I’ve had pets and taken care of them since I was a kid. Whenever I’ve had pets I always have treated them like if they were my babies and I don’t just care them as animals. I love treating them really good and making them happy. I currently working every day except Thursdays and Fridays. I always get out as 6 and I don’t have a lot of daily after work activities so I just spent a lot of time at home with my own fur baby. I have a cat of my own and he’s very playful so he would make sure your own fur baby is never feeling alone and has fun playing with him. I have various space for playtime.

“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’ve had a fair share of pets in my past. I once had a pug for 2 weeks and with that I taught him how to sit. I enjoy exercising so if your dog has a lot of energy I will gladly take them to the park or if you dog just wants to walk I can do that too. If they want to relax I can do that too:) ps. I don’t know how to work my availability on the app but on Tue/Thu im busy 1-5pm, Wed 5-9pm, Sat 6-9am I can work around my schedule, I’m very flexible about that. As long as we communicate everything can work. Walking or running with the pet also helps me stay fit :) I have a house with a big back yard. I would have an area where their food would be. (Let me know what food your pet likes or please provide the food 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: With years of personal experience caring for a diverse range of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and more, I offer reliable and compassionate pet sitting services. My deep love for animals ensures that your furry, feathered, or scaly friends receive the attentive care and affection they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment. Trust me to give your pets the same level of care and attention that I give my own. My schedule is ver open I work from home, and can drop in for visits any time. I am also available for overnight stays if necessary. My pets are very well taken care of they are senior cats, before that I had a dog for over10 years and I've also had birds and reptiles

“She was very courteous and took the time to meet our dog. She took great care of her and we would highly recommend her services.”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life! My wife and I are pet people! We currently have to pups of our own who would love to have friends over for play dates :) I currently work part time but someone is always home to hang out with your best friend! We have a large space for them to roam around at our house and two pups for them to play with and have fun! I will be able to accommodate anything! My house is fenced in with a doggy door so they can access the outdoors whenever their heart pleases! My home is set up to care for whatever you prefer for your little babies!

About: Hi, my name is Amanda, and I'm currently a stay-at-home mom. I've always been an animal lover and have had dogs for most of my life. . I had two dogs, Cal and Luna. Cal recently passed away after battling cancer, and taking care of him during that time taught me so much about the extra love, patience, and attention some dogs need. From keeping up with medications and special feeding schedules to just making sure he was comfortable, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. . Luna is a little over 7 years old, and I've had both of my dogs since they were puppies, so I understand the different care dogs need through every stage of life. . I treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, going on adventures, or just wants someone to cuddle with while you're away, I'm happy to do whatever helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Since I'm home full-time, your pet will get lots of attention and won't be left alone for long periods. . I look forward to meeting you and hanging out with your best friend!

“Bernice was able to come very last minute and accommodate a walk with my girl stella! Stella was tired after her walk and got along well with my sweet girl! Will def keep her as a regular :)”
