About: Hi there! 🐶 I’ve always been surrounded by dogs they’ve been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Labradors and Schnauzers, I truly believe every dog has their own unique personality to love and care for. Whether your pup is a couch cuddler, a treat enthusiast, or an energetic explorer, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Big or small, shy or social, I adore them all! 🐾 I’m currently hybrid the days I’m home I have all the walk breaks I need and the days I’m in office I can take a walk during my breaks every 3-4hours. I’m in a big spacious apartment and have light coming in from all angles. There is a park nearby with lots of grass that I love to walk at. If your dog plays fetch they’ll love it!

Kevin was an amazing dog walker! He was super responsive and friendly from the start, and it was clear he genuinely cared about my dog, Kit. He went above and beyond by giving her a long walk so she could really burn off her energy. When I got home, she was calm, happy, and relaxed—which says everything. I’d definitely recommend Kevin to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!

About: LOWER PRICES. Just started this account, so I will have low rates until I am able to get more ratings. So take advantage :) 💕 I have both a cat and dog of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I provide gentle, loving care, from peaceful walks to cozy sitting: making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. 🐾💛 I’m a part-time barista and love caring for pets! I provide walks, playtime, and cuddles to keep dogs and cats happy and loved. I’m available Friday, Sunday, and Monday after 2 PM, and all day Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. 🐾💛 I treat every pet like part of my family. At my gated home, they can safely enjoy my secure patio, play, and relax while getting lots of cuddles and attention. At a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, feeding, walks, and play, making sure pets feel happy, safe, and comfortable in familiar surroundings.

About: I love dogs and I am a reliable, caring, physically active, and trustworthy dog-walker and sitter. My mom adopted a pug I used to walk on Rover since the owner could sadly no longer keep him. I have been doing this on and off for the last few years depending on my schedule. My experiences include walking and caring for Pugsly, my cousin’s Mini Aussie, my coworker’s lab mix, a doodle, among others. I don’t have a dog of my own so I love walking other dogs in the neighborhood. I prefer and feel most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs. I cannot currently board dogs but I have the availability to house-sit. I am attentive to each dog owner’s needs and preferences. I aim to provide a meaningful and positive experience for both you and your dog. I work Mon-Fri as a paralegal in Del Mar from 8:30-5. I could walk your dog before and after work. I also have some weekend availability and am open to dog sitting in your home. I can provide references upon request. I can take your dog out two to three times a day. I am not currently hosting dogs at home. I love to play with them and cuddle with them and am very attentive to specific needs and requests you may have. I am responsible and detail-oriented and can tailor the experience to you and your dog’s needs.

About: As a marine biologist by trade, I have committed my entire career to the care and understanding of animals. I have cared for a diverse number of species, not only a large number of fishes but also my own pets and those of friends and family such as cats, dogs, bearded dragons, and birds. As a volunteer at wildlife rehabilitation centers, I have also cared for birds of prey, snapping turtles, songbirds, waterfowl, and small mammals such as rabbits and squirrels. My heart is set on respecting and caring for these animals, and I would love to help you with your pets. You will know your pet is with an incredibly responsible and attentive lady, who is also fun and loves to play with these little guys. I am also a good communicator: your pet will be in good hands! :D I am able to take care of pets before and after my work at UCSD as an animal behavior scientist. On the weekends I am free all hours to take care of your pet. My cat is fed the best food I could find, that he loves, and we play many times a day to help with his wild energy. We snuggle a lot and he has a peaceful environment, with window spots to watch the neighbors with a plenty. I am very attentive to his health because he has FIV, so we have annual vet visits as well as I pay attention to his health to make sure he doesn't get sick unexpectedly and attend to his stinky teeth. Your pet will be cared for in the same way: I have a mindset of a vet and will make sure they are safe and cared for, and if anything comes up we will communicate well and rapidly get your pet healthcare they need. Beyond the essentials of good regular food and cleanliness (litter boxes immaculate), I also take time to play as long as they want or enjoy a good walk together. My lap is open- happy to snuggle and enjoy a good sit together to make up for missing their people.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sherry is someone I trust completely with Luca. From the very beginning, she has been dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. Whether it’s a planned walk or last-minute help, I know Luca is safe, comfortable, and well cared for with her. Sherry keeps me updated and treats Luca like her own, which gives me total peace of mind. Knowing I can rely on her and trust her in my home with my dog means everything. I’m incredibly grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!!

Rachel is the one person I completely trust to care for my Charlie. She consistently goes above and beyond, treating her with the same love and attention as if she were her own.
