“Due to an injury, living upstairs I’m not supposed to do much of and having to use a cane for awhile, I desperately needed help asap walking my big girl. We are active and usually walk at least two miles twice a day. I came across Daniel’s profile, nervous as I’ve never had anyone but myself walk my sometimes very hard headed strong Cane Corso. I really appreciated that his profile noted that he’s comfortable with bigger breeds and has one of his own. I can’t say enough good things about his work ethic, kindness, gentle demeanor, quick communication, punctuality, professionalism - all of it! Not to mention my dog with some serious separation anxiety by the 3rd morning was up before the alarm in the morning to put on her “necklace” and go walk with her new bestie! She now pouts and looks out the window for an hour after their walks! (ha ha thanks Daniel!) I have booked future walks with full confidence and absolutely no hesitation. I am so very very thankful for his way with my working breed dog and his help!”
About: My family and I have owned dogs all my life. I grew up with them since I was a little girl, specifically two German shepherds! I know how to take care of them so they are loved, safe, and well exercised with multiple potty breaks! I love all animals but specially dogs and their little unique personalities! I am a freelance graphic designer so my schedule is super flexible. Depending on the size and needs of the dog, I can walk your dog for up to an hour. I will usually start by making sure the water bowl is full, give them a treat and some love then make sure they are well exercised and tired before I leave.
“Trustworthy, prompt, professional and even cleaned up after my dog when he was sick even though she didn’t have to. I appreciate her caring and kindness with my puppy.”
“Thank you for the long walks this week! Regina continues to be reliable and excellent to work with. Daisy is always happy and healthy when we return home from work.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Not only did I grown up with pets, I also have a lot of pet sitting experience, both in my own residence and others. I’m currently working from home, that leaves me with a lot of time to play with your furry campion. In addition to having a flexible schedule, it would be nice to have something to get me away from my desk. I live in a very walkable neighborhood.My condo has an open floor plan and I have a grassed patio. I’d also be able to crate if necessary.
“Lilly is amazing! She regularly walks our dogs and pet sits our dogs and cat while we’re away. She is kind, reliable, and a true animal lover. She always takes such good care of our animals and our home and goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is comfortable. So grateful to have met her and highly recommend her!”
About: I have 15 years of caring for pets of my own and well over 10 years of sitting for neighbors and friends pets. I have experience with dogs (of all sizes), cats, and pocket pets of all ages. I even have experience caring for elderly pets and those that require medication. Education background in animal care (Bachelor's in Animal Science and Associate’s in Animal Care and Training). I work part-time for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. I usually work early mornings and late evening shifts a few days a week. I have a flexible schedule and readily available most mid-days. Through my personal experience and education background I understand how to handle animals safely and confidently. While also ensuring your pets comfort. I understand leash safety and feel comfortable walking dogs of various sizes.
“Excellent provider of dog walks. Her services have greatly improved our houses quality of life. Jazmin is a great communicator and I feel no anxiety while she is walking our dog.”
“So far, I’ve had Alyssa’s walking service for 3 times and I am happy to have found her. With my work schedule change, I am seeking a trusting sitter whom I can turn to to make sure not only my poppers bio needs but also mental needs are met(to know that their walker takes good care of them like I do). She has helped me with additional needs gladly and I am starting to build more confidence with her as we increase the request! Her warm presence was recognized by my poppers (critical!) and this give dog mom a peace of mind. We’ll continue to work together and as she get to know more about mines, we will endeavor to more services!”

“I have only had Hayden walk my dogs once but he is scheduled to walk them on a weekly basis. He was very prompt in coming to my home to meet me and the dogs and seemed comfortable with them. After the walk he left comments about both dogs which I appreciate. I look forward to a longer relationship with Hayden and my dogs.”
“Shay was fantastic. She went out of her way and took time to meet Luke my lab before our scheduled date. This really helped me and eased any worry I might have had. Normally use only family to look after Luke.”

Sofia did very well with my dog! She took her to the beach and walked her around town when I was away. When I returned I saw them interacting and I could tell my dog was very happy. She also took great care to not let my cats escape while she took the dog out. I highly recommend Sofia!
It was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I found Daniel for dog-walking services! I was out of town for 6 days and needed assistance with 3 walks per day. Daniel was punctual, communicative, and super-friendly. My dog connected with him instantly, and I will definitely be rebooking Daniel for my future needs!
Jesselle is a lovely person and dog walker! Due to an injury, I booked her for a week to help me out in the morning with my sometimes stubborn separation anxiety type Corso. Being as Jesselle had listed she has large dog experience, I felt more confident she would be able to handle my dog. She is very sweet, very kind, on time professional and my dog absolutely loved her after the very first day. Made me feel so much more confident as I navigated the help that I needed. I am very thankful and appreciated of her and highly recommend her.
Jacqueline was wonderful with my dogs! Always on time, super friendly, and easy to communicate with. My pups absolutely loved her and were always excited to see her. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog walker.
Tom was INCREDIBLE with my 2 dogs. He walked them every weekday for 5 weeks straight. He was communicative, punctual, caring, and my dogs always came back well exercised and happy. I highly recommend Tom to anyone who needs dog care in San Diego. He’s the best.
Sarah was amazing with my two pitbulls! She was communicative, reliable, and kept me updated with photos and videos. She took great care of my dogs and made me feel completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. My doggies absolutely loved her, and I could tell they were happy and comfortable with her. I look forward to booking with her again! 🐾💕
Tina has been an excellent walker for my older dog, Charlotte. I am chronically ill and housebound right now. I have my dog walked 3x a day. Sometimes walkers can’t cover their walks or cancel last minute. Tina has subbed in for almost all of the walks I’ve offered her outright. She has shown up for every last minute walk for which I needed coverage. My dog is a special needs dog, and Tina has been very good at following my requests on how my dog’s walk needs to be limited or otherwise. I would definitely recommend her!
