Dog Walking Escondido

“Emily has been great walking Clay over the past 2 weeks while I’ve been laid up. Clay usually takes time warming up to new people, but he hasn’t had any issues with Emily. We are looking forward to her continuing to walk him until I am on my feet again.”

“We absolutely adore Heather! Our Billie girl is shy and needs time to warm up. Heather did not rush Billie and let her come out of her shell on her own time. This gave Billie a safe and warm environment. We could not be more thankful for Heather’s patience and grace. On our initial intake, Heather came prepared! She asked meaningful questions about Billie that put us at ease. We knew Billie was in the best care. 10 out of 10 recommend Heather. She has the perfect way about her for your fur baby!”

About: I love dogs and cats! I own one of each, and have fostered about forty. I have learned great leash-training skills, and behavior management of fearful dogs to help them feel more comfortable. I am fit and enjoy exercise, so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or even hikes! I can also administer treats on a walk if a dog needs some leash-training. Most importantly, I will treat your pup with kindness and affection. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the summer and holidays. For care in my home, I only live about five minutes from work, making it easy for me to check on animals during the day. For care in your home, I bring my own dog with me overnight. She is good with other animals. I am currently home full time for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside and love to take dogs for walks. I am also happy to chill inside and relax and give scritches. In my home, I have a secure fenced yard outside and a large crate available inside. At others’ homes I am respectful of my surroundings and treat all animals and property with great care.

“Carley is always so amazing with the dog and cats.”

About: Hi, I’m Niki! I’ve had over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and grew up in a household with them, so being around pets has always been second nature to me. Friends and family consistently rely on me for dog sitting because they know I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, my love for them has never changed. I’ve had my bunny for about six years now, which has only strengthened my patience, consistency, and commitment to caring for animals every day. I also volunteer doing dog walks and “day out” trips at the Humane Society, which has given me experience working with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. I prioritize safety, routine, and creating a calm, comfortable environment so each dog feels secure, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home four days a week, which allows me plenty of time to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and regular walks throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to maintain feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and exercise without feeling rushed. Because I’m home most of the week, I’m able to provide a calm, attentive environment and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m also available for weekend care upon request. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets comfortable while maintaining their usual routine. During walks, I ensure dogs get safe, structured exercise tailored to their energy level, along with positive reinforcement and attentiveness to their surroundings. Safety is always my top priority. For drop-ins, I follow feeding schedules closely, refresh water, provide potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment, and give plenty of affection so pets don’t feel stressed or lonely. I also monitor their behavior and overall well-being during each visit. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

“Brandi has walked Luna a few times and has been great! Good communication and very thoughtful of my Pup. Definitely recommend Brandi for your pet care needs.”

About: i have 3 animals as of writing this. 1 cat and 2 senior dogs. they all have wildly different personalities and health needs which i have no problem meeting at all. my female dog needs diet restrictions and food modifications for her jaw, my male dog needs very gentle care as he’s sensitive but is high energy, and my cat needs feeding help as he will eat too much and throw it all up everyday if i let him 😅 In the past, I had another 2 senior dogs and 2 more cats. My late german shepard coyote mix needed gentle emotional help as she had trauma from her past family, and the pitbull had breathing problems and temperature sensitivity. Both of my past cats were divas and picky. All of this i happily accommodate as i pride myself on knowing animal body language and making sure they get the best care they can based on what they need. That, and I just love animals 😁 No ask is too big or ridiculous, if it keeps your pet happy and healthy, I’ll be more than happy to do it! I am a full time university student so my schedule will change 2x a year BUT i am very flexible despite that. I make time for my own animals so i can absolutely make time for another’s animals to put your mind at ease. I provide my bets with necessary diets they each need, comfort they all need or want, play they need or want, and do my best to read body language to figure out something i cant immediately tell. I always have food and water out, multiple beds and blankets everywhere for them to sleep, and multiple treats to give when I come home to them.

About: I have tons of experience with all kinds of animals. I have loved and cared for: -kittens, senior cats, and pregnant cats -puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs I’ve also had birds, fish, and bunnies. I have also volunteered with horses and other farm animals, although I’ve never personally owned any. I am currently a college student and a manager at an ice cream shop. I’m looking to help my community and fill my time! I work most days but, most of my classes are online. I am willing to be flexible! I am very particular when it comes to client care. I don’t believe you can “spoil” an animal because they’re our babies! Let’s take care of them the best we can together. Any requests for pet care are fine by me as long as the animal is safe and happy! My animals(I have 3 dogs and 2 cats) all get along well, are fed well, and regularly see a vet.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and currently have a Corgi-Lab mix named Tank. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including pet sitting for NFL players back in my hometown. I'm patient, compassionate, safety-focused, and committed to treating every pet like family. You can expect reliable communication and care that goes above and beyond. I work from home during Central Time business hours, which allows me flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy staying active and love incorporating dogs into my daily routine. Safety is my top priority. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while you're away. 🐾

“Wendy is fabulous, she was not only on time but she was 5 minutes early. Paul enjoyed his walk with her. If your looking for someone who lives what she does this is who Wendy is.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who understands how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone you trust. I’ll treat your pups like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including senior dogs and pets who may need extra patience or attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages.

I'm mainly a stay at home mom while working remotely a few hours/week so my schedule is very flexible! I'm available for doggy day care, boarding, drop-ins and walks! Our home's living area is a bit small so I understand if that does not work for the bigger dogs! But, as long as they don't mind, we don't mind! We have a fenced yard with a grassy area where your dog can relax outside. There is a small doggy door where the smaller dogs can have independant access to the yard. Larger dogs would not fit through the doggy door but since I'm home for most of the day, I will be able to provide outside access whenever needed. I have one small dog name Leo who is 9 years old. He is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix. He is mellow and prefers to keep to himself. I can separate Leo from your dog if needed! Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pup with someone you can trust, and I do everything I can to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions, just let me know!

“Colean is awesome. She is so comfortable around my new buddy Tobin, and Tobin loves the time he spends with Colean. She is very communicative of her schedule and is very pleasant to work with. She has a great knowledge of dogs and has given me some great tips and feedback on how to work with Tobin.”

About: I’ve always grown up with big dogs in the house. I grew up with German Shepherds and it was my responsibility to walk and feed them every morning and night. I also grew up playing a ton of sports so I would run with my dogs as well! My current dog is a White German Shepherd named Ghost! I took on the responsibility to raise him from 3 months to now. I’ve been through all the puppy stages. I am always the first one that family members and friends call to watch their animal and I have a ton of experience watching multiple animals at the same time. My biggest goal is to provide your best friends plenty of exercise, adventure, and happiness!! I am a student at CSUSM and have plenty of time in between classes during the day. I also have plenty of time after and before school to walk your animals or even stay with them during the day or overnight! I care for the pets in my home and my family members and friends homes by providing them with plenty of attention and care! I love hanging out with all types of animals and giving them the energy, exercise, time, and more that they need; whether it be walks, runs, pets, treats, anything that their heart desires and that their owners allow! Nothing truly makes me happier than playing with animals and seeing their pure excitement and happiness come alive!

“Our two dogs were happy and worn out after a half-hour walk with Belinda. She's scheduled to dog sit for us in a few weeks, and we're very confident she'll take great care of them.”
