Dog Walking National City

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old. Not only have I been responsible for my own family pets, but I’ve also helped care for the pets of friends and family members over the years. These experiences have taught me the importance of being reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m committed to following your pet’s routine, providing plenty of attention and care, and maintaining a safe environment. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.I will treat your pets with the same care and affection that I give my own. I’m available all day Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, I’m available after 1:00 PM. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Safety is a nonnegotiable and I will do everything I can to keep your pet safe. When it comes to instructions for your animal, I will ask as many questions as I can do to ensure everything is planned out to your liking. When it comes to trust with animals I will give them all the space they need to get use to me.

“Vanessa is absolutely amazing. She is extremely accommodating and has not once said no to helping me out even if it’s a few hours before. She takes the best care of my puppy Lucy and always goes above and beyond for her walks as well as sending me the cutest pictures during. I highly recommend her to anyone nearby!!!!”

About: Before I could speak my first standard language, I would speak with animals. This led me to care for neighbors', friends', family's, fosters and stray animals beginning in elementary school. Every shape, size, breed. I find peace & ability to converse with all, threading genuine connection with any and all animals. I currently make my own schedule, and always seek to spend time with a friend or family's animals. A key thing to note is that my fiancé & I share a vehicle, so we are a package deal. She is also an (inactive) Rover provider and can share her info upon request. I am very physically active and enjoy a pup to run / hike with as well. I travel throughout the metro area for business and meetings as well, so I am willing to go anywhere to be a blessing. Transparency and communication is key, always reaching out to the client to ensure I am following proper procedures. I provide the service of package / mail collection, taking the trash out on trash day, pup-poo yard clean up, and as a skilled trade handyman - can provide assistance / service upon discussion. I strive to leave your home as clean or better than when I arrived.

About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.

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.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small animals like bunnies and guinea pigs. 🐶🐱🦎My family and I have raised multiple puppies and cared for seniors, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m actively working on potty training and basic obedience. I’ve provided pet care for friends and family including dog walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality/play time with pets. I treat every animal like my own and would be happy to send updates/photos so you always know how your pet is doing. 💗 I’m a military spouse who moved to San Diego about a year ago. Since I’m not working another job, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m unavailable most Thursdays and Fridays however, I’m open and able to accommodate care and scheduling needs. I provide care in your home and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I give them plenty of attention and keep their environment clean and safe.

“Armando was a life saver! I needed a last min walk because I got so busy with work and my pup was being a distraction. He was so kind and Presley came back very tired (yay)! I’ll book him again for sure”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. When I was active duty I spent a lot of time watching other service members pets. I would help any time they needed! I trained my own dogs and keep their activity levels up! I am doing school online so I have a VERY flexible schedule! I’m also active so I can do lots of walks and potty breaks! Patience it key! I believe all dogs are incredibly smart they just need a second to understand! Food motivation is always a good trick to help get them on the right track!

About: I am an animal care specialist for the U.S. Army. I have 9 years of veterinary experience. I have worked in veterinary clinics for 7 of my 9 years. I am currently working with marine mammals. I love my job and I love all animals! I have had veterinarians who took interest in animal behavior so I take a special interest in that as well. I don’t just want to care for your pets while you’re gone I want them to have someone they can trust and love. Pet care will fit into my routine as requested by the client. Basic needs being Am and PM potty break, and feeding. I am absolutely able to do walks, medication, or anything else upon request. I will be able to let pets out for bathroom breaks before I go to work and after work. If the pet(s) need to be let out at lunch this can be requested and discussed during booking! I like to have a home meeting before it is time for me to pet sit at your home. This allows me to meet and understand the behaviors of the pet(s) in their natural state, give them an opportunity to get familiar with me and get my bearings of the home. I will respect any of the client wishes for play, walk, sleeping, and feeding. I am able to assist with pets that may have more demanding medical needs or medication schedules.

“Great communication and very timely. Really listened to my dog and what he needs. He didn’t want to walk in the rain one day so she spent some time playing with him to get more energy out. Very grateful for Jennifer!”

“Pups are so excited to see Marie when she picks them up and ready to go on their little adventure. :) I feel so comfortable leaving them in her care.”

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every dog has different needs. I currently have both an 11-year-old English bulldog and a 1-year-old pug mix, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic walks and playtime to slower-paced senior care. I pride myself on being attentive, reliable, and communicative, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs extra patience, medication reminders, a consistent routine, or just plenty of love and belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My flexible schedule allows me to give dogs the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to accommodate different routines, provide regular walks and potty breaks, and adjust my day to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, provide plenty of affection and enrichment, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a clean environment. I also send regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their furry family member is in good hands.

“Angela was amazing. She was patient and kind with our puppy while getting to know our Bailey at meet and greet. She was on time and spent time making sure Bailey was cared for and loved.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for 10 years, unfortunately his last year of living required vet visits and daily medication. This experience taught me how to take for senior dogs and monitoring health changes while being patient and showing care I am currently a student at SDSU, this allows me to have flexibility to put all my attention onto your pets! ( last minute calls too! ) Taking care of pets is extremely important to me, I see dogs as a family and I take care of every pet with love and kindness.

About: Growing up on a small farm in Utah, I was responsible for many animals (horses, chickens, goats, ducks) since age 9. Not to mention my personal pets (Guinea pigs, fish, horny toad, lizards, birds, Chinese water dragons, bearded dragon, bunny, cats and always a dog) Naturally becoming the family pet sitter, groomer and trainer. It has always been easy for me to connect with animals. I am easy going, down to earth, and friendly. My best interest is in your pets happiness. I am always available when on a pet job. I may have other client’s animals to drop in on but will always return in a timely manner. Boarding at my home is preferred but I am always flexible. I understand every client is different. I am great at routine management and am always reliable and professional. I always highly maintain respect for the household and pet’s personal space with a fun, loving, and positive energy. In your home I like to clean and freshen things up before your return. In my own home I make sure pets are comfortable by having plenty of toys and beds to lounge in. My home also has a fenced yard to release zoomies and get some sun.
