“Josette was great! My dogs loved her (even my very anxious nippy frenchie). She came overvtwice to make sure she had the routine down and the dogs felt comfortable. She left the house immaculate, even washing her sheets! Her communication was great and we will most definitely be looking forward to working with her again!”

I HIGHLY recommend working with her :) She asked a lot of great questions upfront so I knew she took the role very seriously. She is my new go-to sitter for sure! THANKS AGAIN!!”

“Jacob was great! Walter was very happy when we returned. He kept the place nice and clean, sent us photos of our pup and gave him lots of walks😊”

“Nicole was kind, confident, and loving with Forest. She made it a priority to meet up in advance of the stay, asked thoughtful questions, and learned Forest’s quirks! She took him on multiple long daily walks, sent daily recaps with photos, and left the house in perfect condition. Would definitely love to work with Nicole again in the future.”

Jennifer M.

“Gina is a great pet sitter! She sent lots of photos throughout the night, and my dogs looked so happy and comfortable with her. She took them on an evening walk, followed all instructions perfectly, and was very communicative and friendly. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”

Anna P.

“Elise did a fantastic job dogsitting Athena! She was very responsive, gave daily updates (with pictures). She even took time meet Athena before I traveled, and to learn some commands. I had a complete peace of mind during my trip and Athena was sad to let her go. I would definitely recommend Elise, and book her again, 💯.”

Brice S.

“Alexa was amazing! This was our first time leaving our two dogs with a sitter, so going into it I was a little nervous. Alexa came over to meet our dogs the day before she started pet sitting. She gave lots of updates and pictures during our time away, and was always fast to reply! She truly made us feel so comfortable with her watching our babies! We would love to have her sit for us again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had dogs of my own, giving me years of hands on experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs through walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and companionship while they’re away. I also grew up with two cats, so I’m comfortable providing cat care, including feeding, litter box cleaning, check-ins, and companionship. While I’m most experienced with dogs, I truly enjoy caring for both dogs and cats. In 2025, I launched WalkWell, a local pet care business focused on reliable, personalized dog walking and pet care services in La Jolla. I currently offer solo and group walks, drop-in visits for dogs and cats, and customized care based on each pet’s unique needs. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, so I enjoy making sure dogs get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need whether that’s a neighborhood walk, beach stroll, or simply some extra movement during the day. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care is built into my weekly routine through my business, WalkWell. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide weekday walks, drop in visits, and recurring care for both dogs and cats. I’m available for morning, midday, afternoon, and select evening visits, and I make sure each pet gets personalized attention based on their needs. Safety, trust, and communication are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. For walks and drop in visits in a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal routine, including walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of each client’s home and provide updates/photos so owners feel comfortable while they’re away. In my home, pets are treated like family and safety always comes first. I have a dog of my own, so if I ever accept daycare or boarding requests, it would only be for pets that seem like a good fit, are well-behaved, and get along well with my black lab. I prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand whenever possible to make sure everyone is comfortable.

“Kendall went above and beyond - especially with a last minute request! Pretty sure my pup wanted to keep playing with him when I came home! Thanks for teaching him tricks and sending great photos and videos. Truly above and beyond! Made me feel so at ease and Ranger instantly loved him. Highly recommend”
