Dog Walking In Harbor City

About: I have experience giving medications (pills, liquids, ear/eye drops) as well as experience with senior and small dogs especially. Senior care is my strength but I love dogs of all ages. I work from home part time and am home all day Friday-Monday. There are no children or pets in the home so I am able to provide my undivided attention. Your dog will be inside my home most of the day as I do not have a yard. I do however have a large park/lake across the street that I frequent that is great for walks.

About: Cats and dogs have been a constant in my life. From pitbulls to labs, I've grown to love the variety of personalities that come with pet care. I have 3 years experience pet-sitting. I've cared for the pets of family and friends. I've sat and walked both small and large dogs, providing enrichement in clients homes, too. I'm currently the owner of two cats going on 8 years now! At home, I genuinely enjoy being able to take care of my own zoo of animals - rodents, reptiles, and aquatic pets too! I hope to share this love for animals by lending a helpful hand to other pet owners! I work part time; I receive my schedule on a week to week basis. So, my availability is flexible meaning I have lots of opportunities to fit into your care needs for your pets! I accommodate to each animals needs taking things like their home environment, temperament, and personality into consideration to best fit their needs and provide a comfortable care experience!

“Pearl was amazing! She dropped in before our first booking to meet me and my dog, Lola. Pearl fed and walked Lola and sent photos of our happy pooch! Thank you so much for taking great care of Lola. We had peace of mind while out for the night and came home to a happy pooch!!”

About: I grew up with dogs since I was a child. I grew up with Shiba Inus, so I know very well about them. I currently don't have any pets as my girl passed away from old age last year and haven't gotten a new furbaby since she passed. I have been a professional dog walker/boarder/care taker for 5 years before pandemic and had many recurring clients when I was in the Bay area. I love walking them and always give 1 on 1 attention. Some of the compliments I get all the time are how detailed my updates are with many pictures and videos. I personally love to take many pictures and videos of my pets and kids, so I just take a bunch when I walk them or have them over my place. I always make sure they have water (iced water when it gets hot) before I leave with treats (unless pawrents say otherwise). I always update with their potty details too as I know as a pawrent that you want to make sure your furbaby is doing well. If I feel something is wrong, I immediately contact the pawrent. If they made a mess, I try to clean up the best I can before leaving as I know how tiring that can be unless told otherwise. Another compliment I get is how well I am with senior dogs or dogs with medical needs. The dog I grew up with was with me since he was 3mo old until he passed (15.5yrs old). He had many health complications the last 3yrs of his life that I learned how to give every medicine that you can think of including eye meds, pills, syringes, etc. I always have pill pockets, so just in case they don't want the meds in their food, I can always wrap with pill pockets instead. I am very keen, so once I get to know your furbaby, I will be able to see any changes or sense a difference and will let you know. Since my dog was very quiet, we missed a lot of signs from him although I had a doubt as a kid. I don't want that happening to anybody or any dogs. I am also certified in pet first aid and pet cpr. I take pride in as a caretaker and love to be your furbaby's new buddy to hang out with! I currently work at home, so I can be with your furbaby all the time even when my kids are home. I don't mind taking them for walks or even to the park after work as long as weather permits Dogs are free to roam in kitchen/living room area and will have access to unlimited water. Treats will depend on what permission I get from each pawrent. They will never be alone with my kids without any adult supervision as I know how rough kids can be. My kids are taught, but are still too young, so I will never leave them alone with any dogs. I never left them alone with my senior girl even when she became weak and ill with her last few months of her life.

About: Having a passion for animals had allowed me to be able to adapt to the needs of each pet I encounter. From ferrets to good ol' doggos, I am comfortable with all sorts of pets. I'm a Student Parent and being able to help pet parents in-between class and parenting myself is a perfect fit in my schedule. It allows me to control my schedule. Currently I am unable to keep pets in my home. My services are pet sitting or walking. Thank you for this understanding and I hope to work with you and your pet soon!

About: I specialize in taking care of cats. I’ve had cats as pets since I was six. I have minimal experience looking after dogs but am capable of doing so. I work part time at a local remand am doing an internship two days a week. I am taking classes online and will have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). I keep my cats indoors but have looked after indoor/outdoor cats. I can provide whatever type of care you want for your pets in your home.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats almost my entire life and I know how to take care of them well and make them feel happy and safe! I live in an apartment with my family, we all love pets and equally experienced with taking care of them :) I’m free all day and I’d be more than happy to take your pet in! If there happens to be any reason that I am not free I will update my schedule. I will make sure your pet feels safe and happy here, and provide them anything that they need. I live with 3 cats and 1 dog, they all get along and I’d be more than happy to look after your pet as well!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for many years, including my own large-breed dog, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, responsible and calm in any situation, and I make sure every dog feels safe, understood and well cared for. Owners trust me with feeding routines, potty schedules, long walks, playtime and keeping their dogs relaxed while they’re away. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs — whether they are energetic, shy, or still learning. My goal is to give your pet a comfortable, stress-free stay and to keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the day I live with my Rottweiler and provide calm, structured, and attentive care in a home environment. I’m with the dogs most of the day, so they’re never left on their own and always supervised. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, relaxed, and safe — whether that means playtime, walks, or just having space to settle in. I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and boundaries, especially when dogs are staying together. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel secure, respected, and at home. I live in a quiet, safe home with great walking areas nearby. Dogs are always supervised and kept on leash during outdoor time, as I don’t have a fenced yard. I introduce dogs slowly, monitor interactions closely, and make sure everyone has space when needed. Safety and comfort always come first.

About: My mom and I had a loveable and adorable black pomeranian. I helped with potty training him from when he was a puppy. I thought him tricks, walked him, helped give him his medicine, groomed him, feed him & gave him water, and mostly loved him. Dogs are great company and are so loveable. I helped my ex with his tea cup yorkie. I feed him, gave him water, bathed him, cleaned up his pee pee pad, helped with giving him his medicine and I enjoyed his company very much. Dogs are not only our pets but a member of our families and can be at times like our little one. I miss laying down with my dog and my ex's dog also. Currently, right now I'm looking for a full-time or part-time job. So at the time being I have plenty of time to play, walk, feed & be your fur baby. I am available to board him/or her on the weekdays & weekends. I would always take out your pup with his/her harness or leash. I stay in a quiet neighborhood and I will always make sure he/she has food & water as well love.

About: I’ve helped train, and care for dogs for several years, and I love working with all sizes and breeds. It makes my day to be able to work with dogs and be able to care for them. Currently have a flexible schedule, as I make my own hours and with part time work and online classes. Willing to work on weekends as well. I work well with schedules and instructions particular to each individual dog. I make sure to follow what the dog parents goals are when it comes to care, as well as bring a fun and loving energy to every dog I care for.

About: I have cared for and been around animals my entire life, and absolutely love them all. No breed restrictions here! Over the past almost decade, I've worked in numerous pet care facilities, along with rehabilitation centers for other animals including bats, sloths, flying squirrels, etc. Now I’m working at a chiropractor/massage location, but still absolutely love animals with a passion! I strive to love and care for your fur kid as if it's my own. I’m extremely patient, love to go on walks, and cuddles are my speciality. I can honestly say, I’ve never met an animal I didn’t immediately fall for. The only complaint I’ve heard from a pet owner was that I just might spoil their pet more than them. Not only will I take care of your fur babe, but I’ll also care for your house as well. Need mail brought in? Plants watered? I do that too. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I’ve worked with and cared for animals my entire life. It doesn’t feel like a chore—it feels like second nature. Each day, I make sure animals are fed, have clean water, and a comfortable space, but I also prioritize their emotional well-being through play, walks, or simply spending quiet time with them. I build my day around their needs, whether that’s early mornings for feeding and exercise, or evenings for grooming and bonding. On a weekly basis, I set aside time for deeper care, like washing bedding, refreshing living areas, and doing more detailed grooming or health checks. I find joy in noticing the little things—changes in behavior, shifts in appetite, or even subtle signs that an animal may need extra comfort or medical attention. Because I truly love animals, caring for them never feels like a task to squeeze in—it’s something I look forward to and value. They become part of my rhythm, and ensuring they’re healthy, safe, and happy is a responsibility I take to heart every single day. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I approach it with the same level of love and responsibility I would give my own animals. I always start by learning about each pet’s unique needs—feeding schedules, routines, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions—so I can provide consistent, comfortable care. In the home, I make sure their environment is safe, clean, and enriched. That includes fresh food and water, daily exercise or playtime, litter box or waste cleanup, and keeping their bedding and living areas fresh. I also pay close attention to their behavior and body language, since small changes often signal when an animal needs something extra. Beyond the basics, I focus on giving them companionship and reassurance. Whether that’s long walks, interactive play, or quiet time for pets who enjoy simply being near someone, I make sure they feel cared for and not just “looked after.” For clients, I communicate regularly with updates and photos, so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and loved while keeping their routines as normal as possible, so clients can have peace of mind while they’re away. For me, it’s not just about making sure they’re fed and safe—it’s about making them feel loved, secure, and comfortable. More than anything, I want every pet to feel at ease while their family is away. I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for a beloved companion, so I put my heart into giving both pets and their owners peace of mind.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I specialize in puppies and senior dogs, providing personalized attention to keep every pet safe, happy, and loved. I am the sole caregiver responsible for all pets in my care. I am available most weekdays in the afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I provide dog walks, pet sitting, and overnight stays at my home as needed. I am flexible and can adjust to accommodate clients’ schedules. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all pets. Pets are supervised at all times, have access to toys, fresh water, and cozy spaces.

“My 5 year old doodle has been walking with Jailene for over a week now. We decided our pup needed more midday exercise than we could provide, so Jailene swooped right in to come on time everyday: friendly, confident, professional, and no frills. My dog even looks cool walking with her! They get an uphill mile in each weekday for 30 mins and our pup comes back worked, happy, and relaxed. It's been very easy to communicate with Jailene and we trust that our dog is in good hands.”

“Amazing walker! Punctual, caring, and sent great updates with pictures. My pup came back happy and relaxed—highly recommend!”
