“Jessica was great, shared lots of great details about what she did with our pet. She was always on time and very kind. I would highly recommend her!”

“Crystal jumped in at the very last minute to walk my dog! She was extremely communicative, was right on time, and was very good with my bigger dog. I will be returning to her for future walks for sure!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I briefly worked in a vet clinic during undergrad, so I am comfortable with senior animals, active animals, and administering medication. I also volunteered with the San Diego Humane Society’s Wildlife program in the past, as well as the Long Beach Aquarium. Although I am used to caring for mainly cats and dogs, I love all animals and would love to help you with other pets such as guinea pigs, chinchillas, bunnies, birds, etc. My sister is also starting vet school this fall, so she is only a phone call away if needed. :) Your pet’s comfort and safety are top priorities for me, and I will care for them as if they were my own! I am a post-bacc student, and also a server/bartender 3 days a week. I currently have the summer off from classes (until late September), so I have more flexibility right now for pet sitting/walking. My times can vary a bit on the nights that I work at the restaurant, but contact me and I am happy to coordinate our schedules. I will have the utmost respect for your home and your pets. I know it can be scary to trust someone you don't know with your pet and home, so I strive to do a great job and keep your pet(s) happy! Please feel free to provide me with a list of rules and expectations, and we can work together to make sure you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible with me. I do not offer boarding in my own home at the moment, only because my 2 cats become very stressed when other animals are brought into the home. I need to respect their boundaries and comfort levels as well.

About: I have loved dogs my whole life, but I did not realize how deep that love could be until I adopted my first dog, Flynn, 11 years ago. He was a 90lb German Shepherd with reactivity towards other dogs, which led me down the path of learning everything I could about canine behavior and training. I have taken multiple dog training classes focused on positive reinforcement techniques and have used tools such as clicker training, prong collars, and e-collars. I learned how to navigate situations in which Flynn was reactive, making sure I had full control of a very strong dog at all times. I raised Flynn from 8 weeks old (puppy shark phase) to his calmer senior years. The challenges I faced with Flynn taught me how to read canine body language, manage reactivity, and handle high energy, strong dogs with patience and love. After losing Flynn, I thought I could never get another dog again, but come February 2024, I welcomed 7-week-old GSD mix Artemis (Artie) into my life. It has been a completely different training experience in much more challenging ways. From potty training to crate training and leash manners, she has tested everything I have learned (and helped me learn more). Every challenge and every puppy shark bite has been completely worth it. She is now thriving and continues to learn thanks to consistency, structure, and ongoing enrichment. I also have hands-on experience with senior dog care. I started caring for our elderly family dog (Socrates) after my father passed away 4 years ago. He is now a 14-year-old Dachshund Terrier mix with limited mobility and some incontinence. I provide daily care, including hygiene and administering medication, and provide a clean, comforting environment to support his quality of life. He is getting a lot of treats and love in my care. My goal is to build trust and communication to maintain a safe environment for dogs and others. Whether your dog is a puppy in training, a reactive adult, or a senior who needs special attention, I bring patience and knowledgeable care. Every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours special. I'd love to meet them and offer care you can trust. My life revolves around my sweet pup, Artemis (aka Artie). This means that besides work and taking care of her needs, I am quite open. I work remotely some days and can drop in on your babies during the day or in the evenings. On the weekends my availability is wide open. Building trust through consistent communication is important to me. Since I know that every dog is different, I understand each has individual needs and am eager to learn them. As a dog owner, I also understand how important it is for someone who is caring for your dog to know your dog and know what they need (I'm the type who writes a whole manual for any sitter). In my home, I have a senior dog who likes his alone time and an energetic, young GSD mix dog. For daycare, your pups can interact as little or as much as appropriate. I also have a small fenced yard where I can play with the dogs.

About: From dogs, cats, frogs, and everything in between, I’m an avid pet lover! My current rescue is a German shepherd mix named, Butters. I spent my day’s walking and playing with her. We also love visiting her fur friends! I am currently working part time so my availability is open Mondays-Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for day visits. Weekends I’m free all day! I have a large, fenced yard with a loving fur baby, Butters. She is a social pup and would love some company! Dogs can be in and out of the home as they please. But bedtime is always inside! I also have room for a crate if needed.

About: Animals have an incredible ability to ease the tension they sense in the ones they love, so in turn I would like to provide a sense of safety and love with each encounter with your pet. Your chosen family is often stronger than the one you are born into, and these animals that we have taken into our homes and hearts show it clearly and consistently. I have worked in an animal hospital for about 2 1/2 years and in my time I learned many tools to create a safe and welcoming environment. I can trim nails, clean ears, brush out matts comfortably and give sanitary haircuts. I was trained to give thorough baths to make pets squeaky clean! I can also administer medication and have taken care of pets who are getting up there in years. I have experience watching 20-30 dogs in a group setting and can walk up to 7 dogs comfortably at a time. I have basic dog training knowledge and I am familiar with animal behavior and how to deescalate potential dangerous situations and soothe an anxious animal. I will soon be going back to school and have a part-time job so my schedule is flexible. I am looking to add walking pet sitting and bathing back into my routine. Written instructions on specifics on how to care for your pets are helpful in making sure your standards of care are being met. Trust is a need not a want when it come to animals, some need easing into meeting a new person and some are all in on the initial meeting, whatever the case forcing a connection is the best way to destroy it. Taking time to bond is something essential to animal caregiving.

About: From zoomies to snoozies, I’ve got every pup covered! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a wise senior, I treat every dog like my own, because to me, they are family. With experience across all breeds and ages, I’ll make sure your fur baby gets the love, care, and attention they deserve! I work full-time in a hybrid format, with Fridays off after 1 p.m. On weekends, I’m available for dog sitting, walks, or any other pet care needs you may have. My apartment complex features a dog park and a walking path around the grounds, offering plenty of space for outdoor fun. I understand the importance of regular walks in a dog’s routine, so I make sure my own fur baby gets several each day. We also have a sunny patio where dogs can relax and soak up the rays. Felix, my pup, is great with other dogs—he’s patient, playful, and almost fatherly with puppies, while with older dogs, he knows to embrace the laid-back pace of retirement life.

“Eli was easy to reach out to! She walked my boy for the fulfilled amount of times/days requested and fed him per my request. She’s very sweet :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 7 to 10 years old. Also good with any size dogs, walking, sitting I can do. I have dogs of my own that I take care of most of the time. I have a small chihuahua up to a medium boxer. I am very playful with dogs that are hyper. I have a hyper boxer who loves running and playing and sprinting around the back yard

About: Growing up on acres of land, raising everything from hamster to horses, showcasing my rabbits in The Future Farmers of America, cats, dogs, birds… I just love animals, ok? :) Nowadays I spend my time close to the beach with my beautiful Basenji Bixby and my two human kids. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’m a work from home mom so I am available 24/7 for your pet’s care and consideration. I love working with individuals to find a schedule that works for them! I have a fenced patio and one sweet pup for your dogs to play with. I can crate your dog at night or different times of the day if that makes you feel more confident. I use positive reinforcement and treat training with my own dog. Happy to continue these routines with your pooch. Dogs are allowed on couches and beds. We have a “child proof” like system within our home to ensure your animal is never in contact with anything that could harm the dog. My dog is a garbage disposal so we have strict rules to ensure that he cannot swallow anything harmful.

“Thank you for always being so communicative and kind!! I always have so much peace throughout the day knowing my pup is in your hands. Thank you!”

About: Hello dog owners, I used to have total of five dogs in my lifetime. I know that being an owner, you don't want your dog to be lonely and neglected. My last dog passed away because of old age. I finally have the opportunity to help owners like you to care for your dogs. I can provide play, walks, take out for peeing and pooping, feeding, bathing, brushing, towel dry, blow dry, brushing teeth, and lounging. I have a backyard that is gated and fenced. Just letting you know that I do not provide food and supplies for bathing, brushing, or teeth brushing at this time, maybe later I can provide these services.. My hours are flexible. If your dog have fleas, please have the fleas control before having me take care. If your dogs/pets need medical meds or injections, I am not servicing that because I have no experience how to. Thank you for reading this material. Respectfully, "Annie" Keslyn N Please let me know since I will be only working with your pet for only weekdays and probably a few hours or whatever schedule what your pet weekly routine is so that can service...for instance, consistent feeding times, dedicated exercise periods like walks or playtime, and quality interaction time throughout the day, ensuring your pet has a predictable schedule for their basic needs and wellbeing. I have fence around my home. If you prefer, I can walk the dog around your area. Also I live across the street from the park, I can walk or jog walk the dog there or play fetch.

“I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She has been walking my two dogs for the past three months consistently 3 days a week while I work in office. My dogs can be a handful, with their bad leash habits and bad manners… Katherine has never had any issues or complained. She’s been so patient, responsible, and caring towards them, handling their craziness with love like I would. She’s also incredibly thoughtful. One particular day, I canceled due to being home from work sick and wanted to give her her lunch break back - she offered to still come, knowing I needed the rest. That meant so much and just shows the type of person she is. Katherine is dependable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Now that I dont need a walker with work schedule changes, I want to make sure others know she’s fantastic!!! Me and my boys are so thankful for the last three months with her 🐶🐶”
