“THE BEST! We are traveling in the Encinitas area with our extremely active dog. Emily has taken her hiking twice! We paid for the hour long walk service and it was well worth it. Immediately you will note that Emily is extremely kind and loves animals. Would 1,000% recommend booking with her.”
4. Nanna T.
About: I am an all around lover of pups. At work, breweries, parties and more I am always to be found playing on the floor with the pups. I live in a pup friendly apartment, have a pup friendly office, and enjoy taking pups on urban and trail adventures. I enjoy getting outside and love to have a little bud with me when possible. I do have a border collie mix myself and I'm very comfortable with high energy pups. I’ve also had an Australian Shepard myself and frequently watching a golden retriever (now 6 months but since she was 4 months). I'll be sure that your pup is happy, whether that means hanging on the couch, going for a walk/run, or running around for a few hours.

16. Jaida J.
About: I have grown up with dogs (and other pets) of all kinds. I love providing the attention and care that each animal needs, I want them to know they’re loved! I am working part time as a barista, and am a student at Pacific College. I can fit time in to my schedule most mornings to provide care or take a pet for a walk. I have a beautiful fenced-in yard right next to a huge garden. I live in a social, friendly neighborhood where there is no shortage of furry friends walking down the street. I like to keep things tidy and will make sure that things stay neat in the clients home and/or my own. The pet is always the priority and I will be sure to give them everything they need along with a healthy dose of love.

Her loving nature shines through as she treats each pet like her own, offering plenty of attention and affection. Rocio is attentive to their needs and follows instructions carefully, providing peace of mind when I’m away. I trust her completely with my furry family members, and they always seem excited to see her!”
