Dog Walkers in Lilac, CA

About: I believe in the freedom a pet has to do their business and for me to be their poop collector. I will help your senior dog get around if they need a little extra help or with your puppy to gain confidence exploring a new area. I have 3 dogs. 2 Senior at 11 years old and 1 younger at 3 years old. They are taken care of first thing in the morning and last thing at night. 1 has many allergies that we care for each day. When helping out at a pets home I follow directions of the owner. If the pet is allowed in the yard I will stay with them while they are playing and or exploring. I clean up after pets if they accidently make a mess or spill some of their food / water.

“Anna did a great job walking our dog! She was on time and very communicative. It seemed like our dog enjoyed the walks and was looking forward to her return :)”

About: I have taken care of my dog since I was in college, living with my brother. My brother has relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe the dog while he’s at work. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your puppies! My schedule is flexible for any kinds of services from Monday to Sunday. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby company. I also can play the ball with your puppies and have some treats if needed.

“Emily is a sweet young lady who immediately connected with our dog. She took him on several walks and he loved every one of them. She communicated well with pictures and a route of the walk so you know exactly where they went. We are looking forward to having her also dog sit for us in the future.”

About: I specialize in energetic walks/runs. It’s enjoyable playing and taking care of pets! Always a pleasure to see those puppy ears stand up and see that tail wag back and forth! 🐶 Being outdoors enjoying the day, while having a fun connection with pets is a high point of the day! My medical experience includes licenses as an EMT and an EKG technician. I take my relative’s pets on a walk around the dog park multiple times a month. In addition help prepare their food and even help shower / dry the puppies.

About: What sets me apart is my well-rounded experience caring for animals in both professional and personal settings. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant and dog trainer, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health care, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m calm, reliable, and truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether that means going on long walks, playing with high-energy pets, or providing quiet companionship for shy cats. I treat every pet like my own and always strive to give them the attention, comfort, and care they need while you’re away. As a military spouse newly relocated to Fallbrook, I’m using my flexible schedule to offer dependable dog walking and drop-in visits for local pet owners. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing attentive, reliable care to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, which can include playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I also provide neighborhood dog walks to help keep your pup happy, healthy, and active.

About: Growing up in the country, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahua's to larger, and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit-bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their exercise routines, feeding habits, and personality quirks. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. I have demonstrated and learned all these factors through the San Diego Humane Society and my Dad (dog trainer). Rounded up I have five years of experience with various sizes and breeds, making knowledge, communication, and compassion key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all types of dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior challenged dogs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the animals in my care. As a graduated student, I have the freedom to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I schedule feeding times, walks, and play sessions around my coursework, giving each pet the structure they need while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. Having free weekends also allows me to dedicate more time to pets, who need consistent attention or engagement. I use my time for exercise, mental stimulation, or grooming, depending on the pet’s needs. My focus on time management ensures that pets are always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into my routine. Whether it’s providing a calm and nurturing environment during the week or engaging in more active care on weekends, I ensure that pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, allowing me to meet the needs of every animal I care for. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment that fosters trust and well-being. Safety is my top priority, which includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, removing hazardous items, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses and supervise them closely to protect them from potential dangers like traffic. Building trust with pets is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, creating a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, spending quality time playing, or offering soothing companionship during quiet moments, I ensure they feel valued and cared for. The environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and follow their care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for the pet. Ultimately, my approach combines attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.

About: Working at a dog groomers (Raining Cats and Dogs) taught me a lot about patience, attention to detail, and how to read each pet’s behavior and needs. I learned how to handle dogs of all temperaments, from nervous puppies to aging seniors, and developed a deep understanding of their needs! Alongside grooming, I've also provided personalized pet sitting services through Nextdoor, building strong bonds with pets and their owners! My main goal is to provide the most professional, compassionate care for your animals! Currently, I am self-employed as a homebase nail technician. This is the reason why I do not provide any at home pet sitting or boarding services. However, on the bright side, I am able to create my own schedule! This helps me accommodate to your personalized routines or needs. I offer dog walking, drop, ins, and pet sitting services. I do not have a preference on height, size, or breed all animals are welcome! I also have experience with cats and more than happy to take care of your cat as well.

About: Hi! My name is Angel, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent my life around all kinds—dogs, cats, and more—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. I love dogs of all sizes, from tiny teacups to gentle giants like Great Danes! I also have a soft spot for pups who may be a little anxious or shy; I’m calm, patient, and always happy to give them the extra care and comfort they need. Whether it’s a walk, playtime in the yard, or just some quality companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help in whatever way makes you and your pet feel most comfortable. I treat every animal like family and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Pet sitting and dog walking fit perfectly into my schedule, as I currently work part-time and have plenty of flexibility during the day, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve, whether it’s a midday walk, a play session, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’m committed to being reliable and consistent, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. When caring for pets in your home or taking them on walks, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn and follow any specific routines or preferences you share—whether that’s feeding instructions, favorite toys, walking routes, or how they like to be comforted. I’m mindful of each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. On walks, I make sure they’re secure with their leash or harness at all times, avoid any unsafe areas, and never rush them. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and never alone for too long. Communication is important to me, so I’m always happy to send updates, photos, and will check in with you if there are any questions so your pet gets the best care possible.

About: I love animals and have had pets since I was young. I am fascinated by their ability to communicate with us in different ways. I enjoy training dogs using positive encouragement. I have a dog who is a senior. She requires gentle care, typically keeps to herself but is still very active with tricks and loves her puzzles! She knows all the basic commands but also knows sit pretty, dance, spin, and can be “shot dead”! Our rescue puppy, Luna, is still a beginner! She will do well with other dogs who enjoy playing and going for walks! Full time pet care with lots of love and attention. I will treat your beloved pet like my own. Nothing less than what our loyal, furry, friends deserve. I have two friendly dogs to keep your sweet fur baby company. My neighborhood has a safe road to walk away from busy streets with a nice elevation gain to get that energy out!

“Hayley is great! Super friendly, reliable, was on time and very communicative. She walked my dog for the full hour and provided good feedback and cute pics! My golden retriever gets extremely excited meeting new people and it can sometimes be a little chaotic lol but Hayley handled it with ease and was really great with Lady. Will definitely rebook with Hayley!”
