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.

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.

“Josh was great! Punctual and very reliable. He was really attentive with both of our dogs and each of their needs. He has a great attitude and we would love to have him walk them again.”


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: 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!”

“Sean did a wonderful job looking after my two cats, Midge & Birdie, while I was out of the country for two weeks!

He also sent me lots of pictures of my fur babies while I was away so I could see how they were doing!”

Madison S.
“Madison is awesome with pets, she has raised several dogs, a cat, and two goats and was the neighborhood pet sitter. She is dedicated and dependable and has a friendly personality. She participated in Future Farmers of America in high school for two years and learned how to care, train, support animals, and won a 1st place for best goat in market. If you are looking for a kind and caring pet sitter Madison is a great choice.”


Nathali B.
“Nathali was an exceptional dog sitter for my 60lb doodle. He felt safe around her, a big plus since he’s very shy. She was professional handling him and communicated the whole time. I will be scheduling all my walks and long care needs with her!”


Tyler B.
“Tyler took care of my 1 year old cocker spaniel for 6 mos... and would still be our go-to guy if we hadn't moved! He is reliable, easy to communicate with, and will even use to the same rules/commands to keep structure for the dog. I commute 1.5-2hrs each way and the long hours away from home left me very stressed about the well-being of my pup... Tyler alleviated those fears and helped reinforce good habits (and commands) in Gilligan. I have never seen my pup so excited to see someone as when Tyler would come for their daily walks! Tyler came to be our dog walker through a locally run organization in my old neighborhood. The company was going through growing pains and I almost considered finding another option, but then Tyler happened! Tyler always went above and beyond, taking Gilligan on excursions each day to ensure he was adequately exercised and socialized with other people and dogs. I highly recommend Tyler.”


Sierra L.
“Sierra is an amazing, and reliable pet care giver. Her love for animals is truly apparent in how she interacts with and cares for them. She has cared for our animals many times while we’ve been traveling and we always have peace of mind that not only are their basic needs being handled, but they are also receiving lots of attention and love. I highly recommend Sierra as an animal caregiver. Not only will she provide top level care, she will also be a surrogate parent for your pets while you’re away.”
