Dog Walking Hillcrest

“Tina has been an excellent walker for my older dog, Charlotte. I am chronically ill and housebound right now. I have my dog walked 3x a day. Sometimes walkers can’t cover their walks or cancel last minute. Tina has subbed in for almost all of the walks I’ve offered her outright. She has shown up for every last minute walk for which I needed coverage. My dog is a special needs dog, and Tina has been very good at following my requests on how my dog’s walk needs to be limited or otherwise. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting ever since I was little. Friends and family often trust their pets to me while they are away. I specialize in elderly dogs and have lots of patience when it come to dogs with special needs or medications I work part time at a coffee shop and go to school part time as well. I will be able throughout the week but mostly Thursday-Sunday I have lots of personal experience with elderly dogs and have a special place in my heart for them. Having a dog that was diagnosed with Cushings and severe separation anxiety, I am well equipped to handle medical needs or just provide comfort for any animal who needs it.

“Every dog loves enthusiastic playmates. Phillip fits the description. He is consistently professional, friendly, helpful and always right on time. I need to feel that my older dog is safe when going out walking in our neighborhood, the city. Phillip "brings it", when he comes to see Colette...she feels at home with him and Phillip leaves the pictures to prove it. :-).”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats and other pets for 10 years , and I grew up in a home full of animals, so being around pets has always come naturally to me. I genuinely love spending time with animals, understanding their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also enjoy helping people when they need an extra hand, especially when it comes to something as important as their pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to connect with animals of all ages. I’m especially good with young pets who need guidance and consistency, as well as senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and small details to make sure each pet gets personalized care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, which helps them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a part-time college student looking to earn extra income while doing something I genuinely love like caring for pets!

“Emily J. filled in at the last minute for my weekly Saturday afternoon walk. She is very friendly, and my dog liked her instantly. She is on time and professional. I would definitely recommend her as a walker.”

“Yasmine did great with Olive! This was my first time using Rover as an owner and Olive’s first interaction with someone outside her family. Yasmine was patient and understanding with Olive when she was unsure and barking at her, I am very grateful for her patience. I am also happy to book her for future walks!”

About: Hi, I’m Jana! I am a full-time physical therapist looking to spend time with some pups since I currently do not have one of my own. I’ve been a passionate animal lover my entire life, growing up with a beloved family dog and later raising my own Australian Shepherd from a puppy. Because of my Aussie, I am incredibly comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping up with demanding exercise schedules, making me the perfect match for active dogs who love long, fulfilling walks. Over the years, I’ve also become the trusted, go-to dog and cat sitter for my friends. Through these diverse experiences, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and know exactly how to read their cues to make them feel safe, secure, and completely comfortable around me. Above all, safety is my absolute top priority. I approach every walk and sitting session with extreme care, ensuring your furry family member is never put in danger. I can't wait to meet your pet and provide the reliable, attentive care they deserve! Certifications: Cat and Dog First Aid and IAP Dog Walker certified. I currently work Tuesday through Fridays so I am available Saturday, Sunday and Mondays when most pet parents may be traveling. Also, I am willing to walk or drop in during my days off for those who work weekends! When caring for pets at their own home I prioritize their needs as well as the privacy of my clients. I will always treat their home with respect. If your pup is staying with me, be assured I will keep them on their normal schedule and give them the love and attention they deserve.

About: I’ve grown up with pets in my home since I was 2 years old. I’ve pet sit for friends while they’re on vacation and have taken care of dogs with health issues that have required medication and special care. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule for dog walks and drop in visits throughout the day. I can often accommodate morning, lunchtime, afternoon, and evening visits with advance notice. I'll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet receives reliable, consistent care. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Before every walk or drop in, I'll make sure I understand your dog's routine, personality, triggers, and any medical or behavioral needs. I'll always use the equipment you provide (unless we've discussed otherwise), keep dogs leashed during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and pay close attention to their surroundings. During drop in visits, I'll make sure your dog has fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection while sticking to their normal routine. I'll also double check that doors, gates, and crates are secure before leaving. I know it's important to know your pet is doing well, so I'll send updates with photos and a summary after each visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Bailey was very responsive and communicative. She sent tons of photos and it was clear she gave Starski lots of love and pets for me. I would absolutely call her again any time I need to.”

About: NOTE: If you feel inspired to donate to a LEGIT rescue organization ARWOB is the real deal. ARWOB rescued a SIAMESE kitten (see my first few pics) who found me in Tijuana, Mexico before Thanksgiving 2017. None of the neighbors wanted to keep her & there are really no rescue places or shelters there. Kerrie was an angel & was able to send someone to Colina De La Presa to pick her up. She was transported across the border & hopefully found a new forever home. It was synchronicity that the Siamese sweetheart found me! She was precious😻 Worked for years independently as a sitter/walker in WLA, WEHO. Psych degree UCLA. I've helped family/friends/neighbors for years. I love all kinds of animals & reptiles. Some very high end clients personally requested me for visits, overnights, holidays when I worked 3 years at the Pet Staff, Inc. Available for late morning & Mid-day dog walks,cat visits: Hillcrest, N.Park, Point Loma, Mission Valley (will consider La Mesa, UTC, La Jolla, Chula Vista regions). Available for occasional overnight/housesit visits & NIGHT & weekend walks (pls inquire) Worked 3yrs w/Pet Staff (WLA, BH,Century City, SM, Palisades, WEHO, Mid Wilshire, Studio City). Rover for 2 yrs+ I'm also a Reiki practitioner & will offer energy sessions to your pets if you'd like. If you have pets with separation anxiety or other concerns, we could see if a little extra focused & intended energy therapy might help them (pls inquire). I've done reiki with humans and animals & helped patients & staff in hospital ICU, Hospice/Palliative & PTSD units. Personal work with TBI & cancer patients, neighbors, office clients. I was registered as a reiki volunteer at VA medical La Jolla in the hospice/palliative unit. I've worked in education & have a current teaching permit for CA. Current status verifiable online CTC. Certified 17 yrs. FBI/DOJ, fingerprint cleared & a mandated reporter against child abuse. VA federal system fingerprinted. As an independent contractor in pet care, I'm extremely observant & intuitive with animals & well versed in animal (and human) behavior. I understand that pets are "kids or family members" & they have deep emotional capacity & sensitivity-just like humans. I honor & respect these qualities. When fur babies are happy-their fur parents are happy. Why I love dog sitting: Since childhood, I've been around animals. We had two dogs and a cat. I saved tarantulas hit by cars, helped injured lizards and birds that fell out of nests. I've always had a love for animals & nature. My experience administering medication: Yes. And I closely observe behavior/mood, appetite, bm, bladder, physical activity & skin conditions when I care for pets & will leave you detailed notes or call if necessary. I was medical POA for an elderly parent, so my medical & observational skills from the past 23 years help for both human & pet care needs. Occasional walks & potty breaks with family pets. I'm looking to possibly increase my petcare activities in the future. I may be expanding Reiki with pets too. I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I'm patient, observant & kind. I'll check your mail, water your plants, send pics or texts daily if you wish. I'll also put out the trash bins if I housesit & will maintain a clean environment & respect your space & wishes. I'm good with your neighbors too~if they see me with your pets.

About: I have taken taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I had a golden retriever growing up. His name was Rufus! I am very friendly with dogs. I can’t not say hi to a dog if I pass by I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with the pups! I am very good with dogs and cats! I currently live in a two bedroom apartment. It’s not the best for dog/cat sitting. I would love to go over to owners and do it!
