Dog Walking in Escondido

“Tamara was very patient with my difficult dogs. Both of my dogs are afraid of strangers. Tamara took the time to listen to what works well for them. My scaredy cat brought out her happy tail on the walk and my bully was taking treats out of Tamara’s hand by the end of the visit. Thank you Tamara!”

“Heather walked our 1 year old Great Dane "ELLA" while I was laid up from surgery. Ella's a lot of dog and Heather did an excellent job. Ella loves Heather and I would highly recommend her.”

About: I have always had dogs around or as pets growing up. I have experience in administering medication orally and topically as I had a senior dog who was diagnosed with cancer. I currently have two dogs: 3 year old and 8 months. I have training experience as I worked with trainers with my own dogs. I’ll have plenty of time to give your fur baby attention and short / long walks. I have a subcompact SUV where I can take them to the dog parks nearby if allowed. I crate train my youngest fur baby and keep her on potty schedules in the evening. My 3 year old is completely potty trained and roams freely lounging.

About: My entire life has revolved around pets. From cats to turtles, gerbils, lizards, dogs, chickens and more, my experience is well rounded. I have taken care of animals at every stage in life and can’t wait to meet your pets. As a mom, having availability is a priority in life. I am self-employed and usually my schedule is very flexible. I can usually provide last-minute services as well as a scheduled routine. Providing services in my client’s home works best for my lifestyle. My two cats are finicky about their environment and are not interested in having other animals around.

About: I love all animals and have raised many dogs and cats throughout my life. I've fostered pups for a rescue organization for over 3 years and worked with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I'm very experienced with potty training, leash training, crate training, etc. I've worked with a dog trainer consistently for over 3 years in order to hone my skills and to assist me with some of my most challenging pups. I'm happy to offer pet care services such as drop ins, dog walking, playing, overnights, and dog sitting. I have lots of experience with both dogs and cats. Making sure your pet is safe and happy are my top priorities. I take every precaution to ensure that pets are secure in their environment and follow all instructions given by the client.

“It was comforting to know that Bailey was taken on her mid-afternoon walks without having to worry. Mckennah was very prompt and I love all the pictures that were sent. It’s a peace of mind that there’s someone that you trust to walk Bailey while I was away. Thank you Mckennah!”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and care for them with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors — and I adjust my care based on each dog’s individual needs and energy. What sets me apart is my calm presence and emotional sensitivity. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, understood, and completely at peace, just like they would with family. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I do some local deliveries during the day, but I always come home for lunch and stay nearby. In the evenings, I’m always home, so your dog will have plenty of company, care, and attention throughout the day and especially at night. I offer a peaceful, clean, and welcoming home where your dog will always feel comfortable and cared for. I only take one dog at a time, so they receive my full attention and a stress-free environment. Dogs are free to rest wherever they feel most at ease — on the couch, the bed, or their own cozy spot. I stay nearby during the day and am always home in the evenings to ensure they’re never left alone. Their routine, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.

“Ana did a fantastic job with my baby girl Stella. My pup is very timid and nervous around strangers, but Ana was able to coax her out of her hiding places very gently. She made sure Stella ate and was able to take her on a short walk outside. This was a last minute request and Ana was super accommodating! I will definitely be using her again in Escondido.”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my experience, attentiveness, and genuine care for each dog’s individual needs. I have over eight years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping dogs active and engaged. I understand how important structure and consistency are for dogs, especially when their owners are away, and I make sure to follow schedules closely. I also pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort, adjusting my care to match each dog’s personality. Whether a dog needs lots of exercise, extra reassurance, or a calm companion, I take the time to provide the right balance of activity and attention. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine alongside my other responsibilities. I currently work a part-time job and am also a part-time college student, so I’m very used to managing my time and staying organized. Even with a busy schedule, caring for pets is a priority for me, and I intentionally plan my days around consistent routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning litter boxes. Because I balance work, school, and pet care regularly, I’m dependable and mindful of staying on schedule. I make sure pets receive the attention, structure, and care they need throughout the day and week. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like an extra responsibility, it’s something that naturally fits into my routine and something I truly enjoy. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow any instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and general care, so pets feel comfortable and secure in their environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. I also place a strong emphasis on cleanliness and safety. This includes cleaning litter boxes, food and water areas, picking up after pets, and keeping their space tidy and comfortable. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and a calm atmosphere at all times. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, attentive, and loving care.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, administering basic medications, and following specific routines. I always focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care and quality time with your pets. I’m available on weekends for boarding and during weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I love being able to fit pet care naturally into my daily routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, comfort, and routine at all times. In my home, pets are supervised, have a clean and calm environment, and are given plenty of attention. I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely and can crate pets if requested. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and well cared for during each visit. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any special needs, and I always provide updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 4 years, caring for my energetic and anxious Belgian Malinois, Harley. Through her, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding how to meet a dog where they’re at—whether they need to burn off energy or just feel safe on a walk. Beyond my own dog, I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I regularly watch my mother-in-law’s senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra gentleness. I’ve walked and looked after a neighbor’s dog, my cousin’s small dog, and grew up in a home with large breeds like a German Shepherd and a Mastiff. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a small companion dog, or an older dog who needs special care, I always adjust my pace and approach to fit their needs. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and happy—just like I would want for my own. I currently walk my own dog twice a day, so caring for pets is already a regular part of my routine. I can easily fit in additional walks or potty breaks during the day, making it simple to give your pet the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a calm and pet-friendly approach, and adjust to each dog’s needs—especially if they’re anxious or shy. I treat your space and your pet with care and respect, and I provide regular updates so you feel confident and connected while we’re together.

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

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of animals as soon as I could walk. I’ve grown up rescuing , dogs, cats, birds , reptiles, etc. I’ve fostered many animals and have found many little ones their forever loving homes. I’ve dealt with the good, the bad, the sticky, the stinky, I do it all. To me, animals are like children, they need a lot of attention and care. I promise to be the someone who treats your fur babies the way you would want them to be treated. I work as a barista from anytime from 3:30am - 3pm. I go to school online so my only obligation other than school is work. I’m flexible. I can make anything , anytime work. My pets are my babies. To me animals, all kinds, are just as important to me as humans are. They are very loved and cared for in my household. If my fur baby wants play, I’m there. If they’re too tired to socialize, I’m never forcing any pet to do anything they don’t want to. When my pets were recovering from their spay/neutering, I was their beck and call 24/7. I’m there too groom, clean litter boxes, walk after a mean, pick up after them, play with them and love them.

“Christina is wonderful! I've never let anyone but family walk my dog but since we've had a baby I needed extra help so we set up recurring weekly walks to make sure Mango has the attention she needs. Mango has arthritis and can be leash aggressive because she was attacked by dogs a while ago so Christina met with us so we could show her how to walk her in a way that keeps her safe. She brought her partner too so that in the event she couldn't walk her, he can help as a backup. Christina always gives us a heads up when she is on the way and arrives on time, communicates well with how Mango did on the walk and brings her back on time. She was very flexible with our schedule changes and we feel so grateful to trust someone else with our precious love. ❤️”

“Amanda is so sweet! She came to do a meet and greet and immediately treated my pets as her own! Pets and love within seconds! She even brought in the dog food from the porch (thank you so much btw, I know that thing is HEAVY!) I’m sure Hagen can’t wait for next time!”

“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.”
