Dog Walking in Lake Murray, San Diego, CA

“Kaden is a fantastic dog walker. He was friendly, communicative, and on time every morning and took great care of my shy new dog. I would highly recommend him to anyone with sensitive doggies and I'll definitely be reaching out to him next time I'm in town.”

Katie D.

“Makenzie is amazing! She always includes tons of photos and is great at communicating around anything with the regular walks. My dog is very nervous around new people, and she immediately loved Makenzie. She has a great presence with dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I've had animals my whole life and taking primary care for them was one of my first "big kid" tasks and I couldn't have been more thrilled. Giving love, scritches, walks, and ball throws is what I live for. If I'm not covered in fur at the end of the day, did it even happen? I'm a part time working mom with a flexible schedule. I would love to give your dog or cat that mid-day break they might crave while you're stuck in the office trying to earn them a bigger backyard. I'm happy to care for your pets in the same way you would. If a quick walk and kennel is all your furry friend needs, sign me up! If you need a mid-afternoon litter scoop because your kitty is very particular about the state of her litter box, no problem! If you need ball throwing, cuddle time, or anything else to make your furball feel the love, then let me know.

“María has been really patient with my girls. Tessa gets very anxious and barks and María met with us twice to allow her time to warm up. María is excellent with updates and we look forward to having her stay with the girls overnight.”

About: Hi, I’m Linda—your friendly neighborhood pet pal from the Northmont corner of La Mesa—a lifelong dog-and-cat whisperer with a soft spot for neighborhood strolls, sunny snuggle sessions, and furry companions of every kind. From playful pups to wise old whiskers, I’ve shared my home and heart with my dachshunds and kitties galore—and I still believe there’s nothing better than earning a tail wag or a quiet purr of approval. I'm 100% retired and based in La Mesa’s Northmont area, I live near Northmont park…with lots of room for running and chasing a ball, or just lounging under a shady tree. I bring calm, consistent care with a side of local flair. Your pet and I might wander familiar trails, explore shaded sidewalks, or simply lounge on the porch with the breeze in our fur. Whether it’s a walk, a weekend stay, or just a drop-in cuddle and kibble check, I’ll treat your four-legged family like my own—with warmth, punctuality, and lots of love. Let’s make your time away feel like just another cozy day for your pet. I'm 100% retired and based in La Mesa’s Northmont area. I am currently available 7 days/week. Prefer early morning walks if possible to protect your pet's paws from hot pavement and heat of the day. I prefer not to provide visits to my personal home, but more than willing to care for your fur babies in your home, where they're comfortable and in their familiar environment.

“I am so thankful for Suzanne for doing such an awesome job walking my little buddy the last few days while I was at work. She is friendly and reliable and Bruin loves her. He was so happy when I came home at the end of the day on the days she walked him!”

Please message me and we can get you on my schedule ☺️ 💛 Care I think having a set routine for pets is very important, especially when you’re away. Ideally I would try to best emulate what schedule you have your pet on with walks and feeding schedule.

“Lissette was fantastic! My dog has anxiety and I wasn’t quite sure how things would go but Lissette was able to quickly win my dog over. She sent detailed Rover cards and followed all of our instructions. She is also a great photographer! I would surely reach out to her again.”

About: Owning my own dog, I took care and played with it, frequently. I took my dog out 6-9 times a day to pee with a nannie pack, including water bottle and poop bag. I feed my pets in the morning and the afternoon. I play with them once and sometimes twice a day. I take them out for walk a minimum of four times a day. Once a week I wash them. About two times a week I brush them. Once a month I clip their nails. I respect the pet owners rules. I make sure that the pets eat, drink and pee/poop according to the owners schedules. I put the pets on leash’s prior taking them out for walks.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely love animals. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority.

Whether at my home or at my clients home, my clients can be rest assured their loving pets would always receive the same loving care.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. As someone who once traveled extensively for work, it was important to me to find a sitter who I knew would take care of my animals, just as well as me. Now that I have semi-retired, I get to focus on my passions. Walks, playtime, cuddle time, and yappy hour are all services I offer. I can accommodate whatever your pet’s needs may be. I will work with the routine you have created to keep your pet’s care routine seamless. I will treat your animal with the same love and compassion as I would my own. Safety is paramount and I want to ensure that when outside, the animal will be on a leash and in an environment where they will be comfortable walking.

About: I’ve previously worked at a doggy daycare for a year and a half - on top of this I have been dog sitting/walking since the age of 12. I have also been a foster through the San Diego Humane Society for over a year now! From this experience, I have training in feeding, grooming, helping with medical accommodations, and administering medicine to animals with certain needs. I also grew up in a household with 2 dogs at all times! I just graduated from college and have a part time job, so I’m very flexible schedule wise and have a lot of free time to help! While at the clients home, I care for pets by making sure they are the most comfortable and calm version of themselves! I respect the property while making sure the pet is getting proper care and love. I live near the beach as well so if your pet loves the water, I’m more than happy to take them there!

About: I’m the person friends and family count on when they go out of town. I have three dogs and a cat that I love to death. I’ve been looking after pets since I was 10—starting with my neighbors’ animals. I began pet walking and sitting more seriously around the time of COVID. I’m trustworthy, flexible, and great at matching your pet’s energy—whether that means a long walk or some quiet cuddle time. I’m currently on summer break from college at Cal Poly Humboldt, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times. I also have reliable transportation, which allows me to accommodate longer drives or last-minute bookings when needed. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep things tidy, and provide updates with photos.
