“Jill has been great with my 3 dogs. My youngest dog, Marley, was a little stand-offish at first. Jill was patient and was able to take him on his walks. They all enjoy getting out with Jill. She is responsive, flexible, and professional. I highly recommend Jill to take care of and walk your pets.”

Boarding stays of up to 5 nights available in a large fenced yard. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly, well trained golden retriever at home. I'm comfortable with whatever arrangements you need when taking care of your pup at your home.

“This was our first time having Veronica walk our three dogs separately. She followed our clear instructions for each dog and was able to put a clear cone back on one of your dogs. She responded promptly to our messages and did a great job taking pictures and providing updates for each dog. We recommend using Veronica for your dog-walking needs.”

I am able to still make sure that your pet is cared for I am very trust worthy, I have worked with a couple of repeat clients, I’m only worried about making sure that your pet is satisfied with exercise and comfort while owners are away.

About: Ive had a variety of pets since my first fish tank at age six. Ive responsibly taken great care of all animals Ive had personally or have helped with. Im an empathetic person that is happy to be able to be there for all pets and animals in general. Ive helped rescue and return home many lost dogs; my heart is in helping. My schedule is very flexible; I can accommodate most requests and will always communicate to ensure everything and everyone is taken care of. I am here and ready to help. My dog wallace is wonderfully kind and playful. She has a huge heart and enjoys every person and animal she meets. We play in our fenced backyard with grass for relaxing in sun or shade. My senior cat mostly stays in one room and does her own thing; she has met several dogs that have stayed with us and has had no problem with any. There are three parks and a well landscaped college campus within easy walking distance for interesting, enriching walks.

“I have never hired a dog walker for my boy Jack. But Nadia is a gem! She loves Jack and was very attentive to his needs. I will be hiring Nadia again soon!”

About: I've always been an animal lover and know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. As the owner of a senior Weimaraner, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for older dogs who may need a little extra patience, attention, and assistance getting around. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to cuddle with, I'll make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m currently studying part time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me plenty of time to care for your furry family members! I love staying active and enjoy incorporating walks, outdoor activities, and playtime into my daily routine. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and am happy to accommodate your pet's individual needs and schedule. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some extra playtime, or just a little company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention! Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priorities! My background working in healthcare has taught me the importance of being attentive, responsible, and communicating clearly. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I'll take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

“Jewels was amazing walking my dog for a week. She was very professional and mindful of my dog’s needs. She was always punctual for the walks and provided my active pup with much needed exercise. Really appreciate her help and will definitely book her again.”

“My rescue dog is shy and has some confidence issues about new people. Courtney has been amazing at building up her trust and now my dog loves going for walks with her. I highly recommend Courtney for her skills and expertise and understanding of dogs, especially rescues who need a little extra love.”

About: Hello! I’m an experienced, lifelong dog lover dedicated to giving your pet the calm, patient, and structured care they deserve. I am the proud owner of Reese, a very sensitive dog who has taught me exactly what it takes to care for pups who need a little extra time, gentleness, and understanding to feel safe. If your dog gets anxious, easily startled, or just prefers a calm and reassuring presence, they will be in excellent hands with me. Because I care deeply about your pup's safety and comfort, I always strictly monitor sidewalk temperatures to protect sensitive paws from hot asphalt. If the pavement is too warm, we will stick entirely to shaded dirt paths or grassy areas. Reese and I walk almost every single day along the beautiful Buena Vista Park and Open Space trail system. I know the best shaded paths, the quietest routes to avoid sensory overload, and how to safely navigate local trails. Whether your dog is a high-energy explorer or a shy pup who needs a slow approach, I provide tailored walks filled with patience, safety, and plenty of updates. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! When I am not caring for animals, I am a homemaker and a parent educator for my son, who attends a hybrid homeschool charter. Because he is at school three days a week—Tuesday through Thursday—I am perfectly open and available to walk your dogs while you are away at work. The rest of my week is highly flexible. Since my weekends are completely open, I make a deeply responsible, present, and attentive overnight house sitter and walker. I can't wait to give your pets the gentle, high-quality care they deserve! Animals are family, and I know firsthand how deeply important they are to our lives. My rescued dog, Reese, saved my life in many ways, and she taught me what true, patient pet care looks like. Because Reese came from an abused background, she cannot handle loud noises or yelling on the TV. To make her feel safe, I learned to maintain a calm, gentle, and warm temperament at all times. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to care for sensitive, shy, or anxious dogs who need a soft touch and a peaceful environment.I treat every client's pet with the exact same respect, intuition, and love that I give Reese. Their emotional and physical safety is my top priority. For example, I always check the sidewalk temperatures with my hand before we ever step out for a walk to protect sensitive paws.

About: Hi, I’m Hayley! I am a lifelong canine caregiver with decades of experience caring for family pets and shelter dogs ranging in ages from needy or high energy youngsters to delicate seniors. I was a Mobile Adoptions Volunteer at the San Diego Humane Society for 5+ years and have active involvement in fostering at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I work from home full time, with a relatively flexible schedule. Fitting in a regular walk or check in to a nearby home is very easy for me to do on weekdays and occasionally on weekends. Whether it’s for a midday walk or a quick check-in, I understand that finding a reliable person to look after your pet requires an immense amount of trust. I'll make that experience seamless through clear communication, honesty, and a genuine commitment to your dog's wellbeing. I stay highly observant so I can catch the "little things" like a shift in energy, a micro-behavior, or a subtle sign of discomfort. My priority is making sure your dog always feels safe and understood. I am comfortable following complex care instructions, including strict medication schedules, behavior management, or specific home boundaries.

About: I've never not had a pet (or five) at home. Primarily cats and dogs, but my brothers were known to bring home a lizard every now and then. I can run and exercise your dog or just love on them and take them outside. I have no problem staying at your house - it's often the best way to make sure your dog is comfortable! I understand the special needs that older dogs and puppies have. I have a wide variety of experience - from my own animals, to other peoples' pets as well as professional animal training experience. I will help you leave your beloved animal in good hands so you can enjoy your time away and return home to a happy pet! I'm currently working freelance and remotely. So I am able to spend most of my time with your animals, and give them as much attention as they need. I have been staying at other poeples' homes to watch their animals for a few years now. I'm very respectful of your home and belongings. I do think it is the best way to make the animals feel comfortable. Even the shy ones have the comfort of "home court advantage", and it helps them warm up faster.

About: Hi, I'm an animal-lover who works from home, which means your pet gets plenty of attention throughout the day. I have over 25 years of experience caring for animals and believe dogs thrive with regular exercise and playtime. My own dog, Kiwi (a 6-year-old wonder-mutt), stays at home with her dad. Whether your best friend is a dog or cat, I'll make sure they're comfortable, active if desired, and well cared for while you're away. I work from home M-Th from 9-4 and am off F-Sun. I wake up early for a walk before work. Mid-day breaks and walks are necessary for both me and the pup! I always end the day with post-work walk, whether in the afternoon or in the early evening if it's too hot outside. When I'm caring for a client's pet, I follow their routine closely: same feeding schedule, same walk times, same house rules, so there's as little disruption as possible. I make sure dogs get the exercise and engagement they need to stay happy, and for cats, I focus on comfort, consistency, and quiet companionship.

About: I’ve always been the go-to person for caring for pets among family and friends, and I truly love the comfort and joy animals bring. I’m a calm and dependable caregiver — whether it’s long walks, cozy cuddle time, or just being a steady presence when their people are away. Pets feel safe with me because I meet them with patience, gentleness, and respect for their routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I love creating a space where they feel cared for like family. What sets me apart is my nurturing energy and reliability — I’ll always show up with my whole heart and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is loved and supported. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine! I’m very flexible and I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I make sure my schedule revolves around giving consistent, loving care, and I’m committed to showing up reliably for both you and your pets. I care for pets with the same attention and love I’d give my own. In your home, I make sure to follow your routines and instructions exactly so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I keep their environment safe — double-checking doors, gates, and leashes, and always being mindful of their needs and comfort level. I believe trust is built through consistency and respect: respecting your home by leaving it just as I found it, and respecting your pet’s personality by meeting them where they’re at — whether that’s extra playtime, gentle cuddles, or quiet companionship. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels cared for, and you can have total peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I began my pet care career as a groomer for three years, giving me a wealth of experience in handling, care, cleanliness, and professionalism. During that time became certified in first aid, bathing/ brushing, and other professional courses. I have since worked for several regular clients weekly, and continue to study dog behavior and training. I am a full time pet care professional and dog walker. I am prepared to work all week and even weekends and holidays to suit your needs. I strive to treat your pets as my own. Whatever you need, I will follow as advised, while keeping your home clean and tidy. I love paying attention to and learning about the unique needs of every animal I work with. You can rest easy knowing that I am insured.

Every pet has a unique personality so whether yours likes to nap, run, nap, cuddle, hike bark at things, go for car rides, get lots of pets, sniff the same spot for 10 minutes, play fetch, or just have someone to hang out with, I'm happy to meet them wherever they're at.
