Dog Walking Hillcrest

“Rosie was awesome and was super flexible! She has been great at communicating and I'm so glad I can trust her in my home with my baby Malaa! I am having Rosie take Malaa on walks twice a week now. Makes my life so much easier after a long work day.”

About: I have animal care experience dating back to beginning over 10 years ago when I volunteered at Tilden Little Farm in northern CA. I have cared for household pets and farm animals alike. I am a big animal lover and am an active foster for kittens through the SD humane society. I love going on a stroll with a sweet doggie or two. I have two kitties of my own at home. I can’t wait to meet yours. I work around your pets needs, I am flexible with my schedule. If you tell me to jump, I will say how high! And then probably offer your pet a treat 💕 I create trust by following direction and going above and beyond within reason. I like to exceed expectations and care for your pet the way I’d want my pet to be cared for.

“Kayla is amazing with animals! My dog louis loves her. She is a life saver and i booked her days before my trip. she did a meet and greet the next day with louis. she was super easy to work with. If you need a nice responsible person to help you with your animals should hire this person.”

“If you’re looking for a reliable, kind, and communicative pet sitter, it’s Kaitie!! Our dogs can be a bit of a handful but Kaitie is always so patient and caring with them. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our sweet pups. Thanks Kaitie!!”

“So communicative and prompt and Ollie can be of a handful! Thank you so much!”

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.

“Georgia was amazing with Stevie and connected with her right away! She has such a kind heart and very understanding of our pup’s needs. Already looking forward to his next walk with her.”

About: Lifelong caregiver to pets and people! As an ER travel nurse, I bring compassionate and attentive care to your pets. I lead a pretty active lifestyle and enjoy taking care of pets that like to join me for a run on the beach. For the less active pets my ER Nursing background helps me take care of pets with health complications, medications, and post surgical needs. I work as a travel/per diem nurse and divemaster, so my schedule often alternates between stretches of work and consecutive days off. I’d love to spend those days off caring for your pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort obviously come first. I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your home, take good care of your pets, and keep you updated while you’re away.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them. As the owner of a 13-year-old Beagle named Pepa, I understand how important it is to give every dog the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I’m active, responsible, and enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they’re comfortable and happy. Caring for my own senior dog has also taught me the importance of being patient and adjusting to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog is young, energetic, or prefers a slower pace, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets the time and attention they need. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions and respect their routine. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for during every visit. I treat every pet like I would treat my own.

“Estephanie was great with my dogs and so helpful with a last minute request”

“Jennifer was really good with working with my rescue dog who has trust issues and wouldn’t let Jennifer put the leash on him at first. However, she was able to get my dog to warm up to her quickly and get my dog to feel comfortable. They built that initial trust, and they ended up having many great walks, and my dog seems to like her very much.”

About: Safe, clean, and loving space! As the granddaughter of a veterinarian, I've grown up around dogs my whole life, and I dog sat for friends back in Alaska before moving to San Diego. I have a 10 month old wirehaired pointer, Charlie, and I've done all of his training myself. Charlie and I live a very active life, with a solid daily routine that keeps us both happy, balanced, and well exercised. I believe the key to a well behaved dog is a fulfilled dog, especially with working and high energy breeds. Charlie gets out several times a day for exercise and mental stimulation, and I'd love to welcome your dog into our routine. I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long stretches. I attend graduate classes a couple of days each week, and on those days I come home midday to check in, feed, and give pups a potty break and some play before heading back out. Most days I'm home with Charlie, so your dog gets a consistent routine, plenty of attention, and lots of time outside. I live in an apartment within walking distance of grassy areas and fenced dog parks, so potty breaks and short outings are easy. For longer adventures, Charlie and I regularly drive to Fiesta Island or Grape Street Park for off-leash play and exercise. If you and your dog don't go to dog parks- not a problem at all! I have a few areas close to my home that we go for laid back sniff walks. I believe the best boardings start with a meet-and-greet. Before any official booking, I'd love for you, your dog, Charlie, and me to meet so we can make sure the dogs coexist well and respect each other's boundaries. Charlie has great social skills and no signs of reactivity, and he recently shared his home with a senior dog this summer. Protecting his safe space is important to me, because it helps me keep our home a calm, comfortable environment for your pet too. Charlie is high energy and plays best with dogs his size or smaller, so I'm happy to talk through whether we're a good match for your dog. He is currently intact and will be neutered once he reaches the recommended age in a few months.

“Joey was great with Mochi! He provided constant communication and was very attentive to her while we were away for a weekend.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and am a former preschool teacher of 15 yrs. Which means I have a big heart, a lot of patience and highly adaptable . Working with kids and animals has been a long time passion of mine. I’m here for whatever your pets needs are! I’m working part time and my schedule is flexible. Being an outdoorsy person, I often go on walks for mental and physical reasons and it would be amazing to have your furry friend join. I strive to look after your dog as if they were my own. I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy and looking forward to our next interaction!

“Allie is so great with my dog Sophie, who is a 13 year old lovable but leash aggressive dog. She handles her well and wasn’t hesitant to take us on as a client. She is also great about accommodating my unpredictable schedule, last minute requests and goes out of her way to be available for Sophie. Highly recommend!”

About: Dogs have always been a central part of my life, but my deepest expertise comes from a dedicated, hands-on journey with my own beloved pup, Max over the last few years. He came into my life facing severe, chronic gastrointestinal and digestive issues. Navigating his health needs—from managing meticulous daily dietary regimens and specialized food preparation to maintaining absolute consistency and routine—has given me an elite level of experience in attentive, detail-oriented pet care. I completely understand that a dog is a true family member who deserves the absolute best. My dog is the center of my universe. He will never go without because I am his advocate and protector. What sets me apart is my patience, my high vigilance, and my ability to connect naturally with dogs. I am exceptionally skilled at managing specific health routines, recognizing subtle shifts in behavior or comfort, and providing a calm, structured environment. Not all dogs bark when they need something. Some dogs speak very softly and my dog Max has taught me how to listen and hear what he’s saying. Your pup will have a fantastic, welcoming companion here—Max is incredibly friendly, loves other dogs, and makes a wonderful, gentle playmate! Whether your pup needs a strict feeding schedule, specialized boundaries, or just a caring partner who treats them like royalty, I provide dependable, top-tier care tailored entirely to their unique comfort and safety. Important Booking Policies: My Ideal Guest Checklist: To ensure a safe, peaceful environment for Max and your pup, I am only able to host dogs that are fully house-trained, non-destructive, and completely non-aggressive. I cannot accept dogs with a history of biting, severe resource guarding, or continuous, excessive distress barking. I am available full-time, which means I am home for the vast majority of the day and can easily accommodate regular feeding, play and potty schedules. My days are flexible, allowing me to provide a steady, reliable presence. However, my schedule does include running errands or personal time, so guest dogs should be comfortable spending some time relaxing on their own. I focus on providing a calm, balanced environment where your dog gets plenty of attention, but also has the independence to rest comfortably while I am out. House Guidelines: No crates required: Guest pups do not need to be crate trained. I prefer to let dogs roam freely and will only use a crate if you request it. Home respectful: Dogs DO need to be fully house-trained and respectful of the space (meaning no destructive behaviors or chewing on furniture when left alone). My apartment utilizes a wide open space floor plan. My living space is a calm, peaceful, and fully pet-safe environment designed for comfort. I have two ceiling to floor windows so your pup will have a great view of the outside. I live with just my Chi-Spaniel, Max. Because guest dogs are welcome to roam freely rather than being restricted to a crate, I maintain a completely clutter-free space where they can truly relax. Pups have access to comfortable resting spots and a secure, structured setting. Right outside, there is a large, beautifully landscaped paseo where I walk my own dog, Max, providing a wonderful, dedicated outdoor path for your pup's walks. Safety & Peace of Mind Strict Routine Adherence: I follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, boundaries, and any special care details. High Vigilance: Having managed specialized pet care needs myself, I am incredibly observant and highly attuned to a dog's body language, comfort levels, and well-being. Controlled Walks: All outdoor exercise takes place on the secure paseo, keeping your dog away from heavy street traffic. Longer Walks: I take Max on longer walks on city sidewalks. If your dog likes to be outside and have longer outings, I’ll take your pup with us. Regular Updates: I provide communication and photo updates periodically, if requested, so you know how your pup is settling in and relaxing.

“Carly did a great job walking Sammy and also worked on training him not to jump or pull. She was also very prompt and on time - would highly recommend!”

About: Animals bring me such a huge amount of happiness. I have experience on this app, on Wag, as well as house sitting clients , friends and family. Over time, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other pets, and I truly understand that they’re never “just animals” they’re best friends, companions, and children to many. The love and trust they give us is so pure, and the least we can do is give them the same in return by making sure they’re safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, and my goal is to provide that by creating a fun, safe, and caring environment for your loved ones while you take care of life’s and all its duties. 🐾❤️ I work from home so you don’t have to worry about your furry loved one being alone for long period of time. I have a flexible open schedule I will work around your time ! My apartment complex has a lot of green area including a dog park. It’s a dog friendly environment neighboor. They will have plenty of space to explore .
