I’m available to walk your dog from 6 AM to 10 PM every day. If you have any special accommodations or questions just ask—I’m always happy to help where I can. As a longtime dog owner and dog walker myself, I can ensure that I will give your dog the attentiveness, care, and respect they deserve.

Joe-el was amazing and he went above and beyond when he took fantastic care of our cat Sunny and our chinchilla Waffles. Not only was he patient with me but he seemed to genuinely love being with Sunny. His report cards were super clear and very detailed, which I really appreciated. He was also very communicative and responsive which really helped me to feel comfortable. I can’t say enough great things about Jor-el and he’s made me feel so much more comfortable leaving my little fur baby at home. — he will be out go to cat sitter!

About: I’ve been a dedicated pet owner and caregiver for years, with hands-on experience raising both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and over time, neighbors, friends, and family have consistently trusted me to look after their pets—whether for daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care. I’m extremely attentive, reliable, and intuitive when it comes to animals. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, provide plenty of exercise and affection, and create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to more relaxed or senior pets, and I always adjust my care to fit each animal’s personality and needs. Beyond basic care, I take pride in going above and beyond—whether that’s sending thoughtful updates, being highly responsive, or making sure your pet feels genuinely comfortable and loved. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I aim to give pet owners complete peace of mind knowing their pet is in great hands. I have an extremely flexible work schedule, so I have time for pop-ins and/ or walks for your pets. I’m typically around starting at 6am-5pm, unless I have to be in person for work. provide attentive, reliable care in your pet’s own home where they’re most comfortable. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. For walks, I prioritize safety with secure leashing, awareness of surroundings, and adjusting pace to your dog’s needs. I always respect your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates with photos so you feel confident while you’re away.

Shelby was so great in a situation - she did a meet & greet with my super shy guy ahead of caring for him. Unfortunately he got sick the day I was out of town all day and she ended up having to deal with the mess, literally and figuratively! She went above and beyond and was a great communicator. We appreciate her!

About: I’ve had and taken care of a variety of dogs my whole life, ensuring that they’re fed, walked, and well-cared for. I love all animals and would love to keep your pups (or cats) company! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! My schedule varies, but I am available for at least half of the day on weekdays to stop by for drop-ins or walks. Unavailable between 3:30-4:30 PM on all weekdays. Currently unavailable on most weekends but willing to make exceptions if scheduling allows. I am currently unable to board or care for pets in my home, but am more than happy to do drop-ins at your home and/or walks!

About: I have grown up and taken care of animals and pets for as long as I remember. I adore pets and want to make sure they feel happy, healthy, and cared for while you’re away! I can administer medication as well! Pet sitting fits into my daily life perfectly! Working remote allows me to give pets the proper attention they need, due to such a flexible schedule. Directions will be followed perfectly when taking care of pets! You know your pet best, and I am here to make sure they are taken care of properly! If visiting a client’s home, I always like to meet the pet first and get clear directions from the owner, so your pet knows me, and I feel confident and comfortable with my care.

About: Growing up I had a chocolate lab and three doodles which formed my love for dogs. Dog sitting for neighbors was my very first job and have experience watching dogs for friends and family throughout my life. From high energy nuts to chill doodles I have plenty of experience and love for all types of dogs. Currently accepting bookings for hypoallergenic/low shedding dogs only. I work remotely and spend most of my time during the week in my office in my two bedroom apartment. I live alone and typically only leave during weekdays for the gym, the driving range, grocery shopping / farmers markets as part of my daily routine. I am active and love to go on jogs / walks to the beach to balance out the time I spend in front of screens. On weekends I like to go to coffee shops, golf (9 holes max if dog sitting), and get out in nature. Dog sitting fits well into my chill routine. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but I chose a career in sales. The frequent travel has held me back from getting my own and dog sitting when I’m home is my solution to getting that dog love missing in my life. I am happy to take care of many different types of dogs. If they are chill and just need love and attention or they need lots of walking and action, either is good for me. Happy to send plenty of pics of your dog and me having a blast doing whatever it is you recommend they like to do. My apartment has hardwood floors, two balconies, is 1224 square feet, and plenty of large windows which dogs love to stare out of. I also have a giant dog bed my roommate left behind that I kept for pet sitting. There are doggie bags included right outside my apartment and the neighborhood (Dylan Point Loma) is very dog friendly. Convenient to take a walk at any time right from the apartment around Point Loma.

About: From one lab, to two goldens, and most recently two small dogs, I’ve grown up with many dogs. I have also pet-sat for family and friends. I’m an acclaimed dog person and I’m eager to help care for your furry friend. I work from home, so I am available to pop in to walk your dog during the day and on weekends if you need someone to care for your dog. I share my apartment with a roommate, so unfortunately I cannot care for your dog at my home but I’m more than happy to stop by or stay at your home. Whatever the preference, I will make sure your dog is happy, healthy, and safe!

I couldn’t recommend Paulette enough! She is so kind, responsive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My cats adore her and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands. Every time I come home they are happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She also sends the best photos and videos while I’m away which I always look forward to. My house is always cleaner than when I left it when I return. Paulette is truly wonderful, I am so happy I found her.
