“Petunia was simply wonderful, able to accommodate me last minute on a holiday weekend and very communicative and caring about my dog. She is what Sonoma dog parents need!!! ??”
“Jayme was wonderful as a Dogwalker for my 3 year old mini poodle in the Watertown area. She treated my pup as her own and was absolutely lovely to work with. She was super flexible with timing and even last minute booking. She is great with sending text updates & pictures of your pet while out on the walk. Unfortunately we moved away from the area but I would take her with us if we could! We love Jayme!”
“Alena is excellent! Reliable, caring and goes above and beyond. I will definitely rebook her again for all my future needs. 10/10”
About: As a pet owner, I want to know that my dogs are safe and happy while I am away. I know they become stressed with strangers and knowing that someone takes the time to make them feel at ease, going the extra mile to ensure their comfort makes all the difference. I will always treat your pet(s) like I would my own, which is more like family not simply a pet(s). I currently work the night shift so I am available for walks starting as early as 6am-6pm. I typically take my own dogs on 4 walks a day ranging from 15-30 minutes with an additional park time to let them simply be dogs and run to get out their zombies. I ensure a safe environment by securing hazardous items, preventing access to harmful substances, and creating a comfortable and familiar space for the pets. I follow the client's instructions regarding feeding schedules, food types, and water availability. I ensure fresh water is always accessible. I maintain a clean environment, including regular cleaning of food and water bowls, litter boxes, and pet bedding. I keep the client informed about the pet's well-being, any changes in behavior, or any concerns that arise. I provide pets with love, attention, and comfort, ensuring they feel secure and cared for.
About: Huge dog lover. A 3 year old mini goldendoodle named Ellie is my little four legged friend. Love dogs of all sizes, large and small. I work remotely and so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m also new to San Diego so walking dogs is a perfect way to explore! I am not able to host dogs in my home, but am very comfortable dropping in to visit dogs at the clients home or other location.
“Christine has been walking my dog every day this week and has been awesome! Very communicative, thorough, timely, dependable and has managed my dog with ease, even though he started with some separation anxiety, not wanting to walk. After just a couple of days he excitedly started running downstairs for his walk and comes back bounding up the stairs, happy! It’s been a pleasure working with Christine and plan to continue booking walks!”
“Aaron is awesome! Such a friendly, professional, responsible and punctual person. Our sweet girl Rosie clearly loves him and enjoys their walks. Aaron is very knowledgeable about dog care and you can tell he adores animals. He gives us great updates and photos that show she’s being very well taken care of. He’s also been extremely accommodating with our scheduling needs and has responded promptly each time I’ve reached out to him. Definitely recommend him for all your dog walking & pet sitting needs!”
“Sofya was wonderful with my dog! She was extremely reliable and easy to work with. I felt at ease knowing she would be there to take my dog got out to potty and exercise while I was at work. I will definitely be booking again! :)”

About: I have had pets my entire life, including a variety of dog and cat breeds. My pet responsibilities have ranged from bathing, walking, feeding, playing, and anything else the pet required! I absolutely love animals of all types. I currently have a cat of my own and volunteer at a non-profit animal rescue in my free time. I work from home and have a flexible daily schedule. I am completely open on the weekends! I can easily accommodate your and your furry loved ones needs. I have one cat, she is not too social with other animals so I will not offer boarding. However, I can come to your home whenever you need! I am used to cats and dogs that try to dart and am very cautious when opening or closing doors / gates.
“Kaitie was able to accommodate a walk on short notice and we were so thankful she was able to help! She provides the best updates and pictures of our pups. It makes us so happy to know our dogs are in good hands.”
“Lara was very responsive & friendly. My pup felt comfortable with her very quickly & enjoyed her walk?”
About: I have nearly 5 years of pet care with a year of them being puppy care. I am empathetic and find fun ways to keep your pets engaged and excited. I am currently working from home 8-5 on the weekdays which allows me to have more time to care for pets. I have weekend availability as well! I am attentive and love to care for pets in the best way that I can. I am organized and I know what to look for in terms of supporting your pet in the best way that I can
About: I’ve been working at a dog daycare and boarding facility in SD since November 2022. Prior to that, I took care of my sister's three dogs many times throughout their lives as well as a few clients' dogs on an as-needed basis. My experience includes puppies, young dogs, senior dogs, small dogs, large dogs and a deaf dog. Whenever I would take care of someone's dog, I implemented their strategies and training methods - whatever the owners were working on at the time. I've also taken care of cats (indoor and outdoor). 5 days per week, I work 6 hour shifts at dog daycare. In addition, I have another job 4 hrs on three mornings per week. I’m off on Fridays and Saturdays. I live in an apartment with a roommate and friendly senior dog. My roommate loves dogs and works from home and would be around even while I’m at work.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I love being around dogs and love to take them for walks and giving them lots of cuddles. In my care you can enjoy your time off or vacation worry free about your fur baby! I work from home so I am flexible to feeding and walking schedules. I live in bankers hill so the walkabout is great for doggies. Balboa Park is a few blocks away so every walk will be an adventure. My entire house is pet friendly. Everyday I clean up and make sure there are toys and places to relax. I have a balcony for when they want to be outside while I work.
