Dog Walking in Ocean Beach, San Diego, CA

“Lea is a great young lady. Very dependable and on time every day. I will definitely use her again if I have the need in the future. Lea has been taking my dog down to the local wetlands walking the paths with my dog Polo. I love seeing the pics. Thanks Lea”

“When my stubborn pup refused to walk in the rain, Tachel waited him and out and got him to pee knowing I’d be home late. Then she proceeded to have an epic play session with him inside. She alys goes above and beyond with my anxious pup (who adores her!).”

“Virginie has been wonderful! Very communicative and proactive in arranging a meet and greet. Rosie loved her immediately, which is always a good sign. She’s been so patiently flexible with our ever-changing schedule. Definitely recommend her!”

“Melissa is amazing. This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous. We had a great initial conversation to make sure she was set up for success, and I appreciated the pictures and notes following each visit. I will definitely be using her again. I've already referred her to my neighbor!”

About: I offer housesitting with many years of experience with petting and as a Property/Estate manager in Montecito and Santa Barbara now San Diego. I only watch one family of pets at a time. Your pet will be treated as family. We go on hikes, beach days, walks, play outside in the yard and go to parks if these outings are appropriate for your pet. About this sitter: Really love what I do and the animals I care for. I grew up with many animals. My parents bred Doberman Pinchers. I love playing with the dogs, I believe it keeps both myself and the animals I watch happy and healthy to play out doors as much as possible. I also love to cuddle with the animals, they are so sweet. All the animals that come to visit us are treated as part of our family. Why I love dog sitting I grew up on a large property in San Diego with Doberman's, Germain Shepherd/collie mix and my grandfather raised Rottweilers. I just adore dogs and cats. I love to take them to the beach, hiking, and cuddle on the couch.

“Kirra was amazing with our pups! They loved her from the start! She’s great with communication and keeping us updated. We’ll be more than happy to have her walk our little ones more often”

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats, and even running a pet sitting business in my neighborhood. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I now have my own golden retriever, Wrigley, who brings even more joy into my life. With years of hands-on experience, I understand the unique needs of pets and am dedicated to providing them with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Currently, I work for myself and am remote, so my schedule is flexible. This means I have plenty of time to devote to your pets! I have an eye for detail and will always take meticulous care when I'm with your pet, whether in your home or out on a walk.

Growing up surrounded by dogs and now owning a cat of my own, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for animals. I am highly skilled in administering oral medications, providing tailored meals to specific dietary needs, engaging in playtime, and ensuring pets of all ages receive the care they need. Whether it’s walking dogs of all sizes, cleaning up messes, working with energetic puppies, supporting elderly pets l, or handling dogs with behavioral challenges, I am dedicated to creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every animal I care for. I am actively seeking a full-time position in San Diego and currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me ample availability to provide high quality pet care services.

My goal is to create an stress-free environment where your furry family members receive the best possible care in comfort of their home.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have been a go-to for family and friends who need an experienced and trustworthy pet /house sitter. I work from home and get to spoil my pup with walks every few hours, tons of cuddle and play time, and love to provide a happy home for doggos who need it when away from their “pack”. I also have some training experience from a professional dog trainer! ☺️ I grew up with pets my whole life and safety is a high priority for me. I take precautions to make sure dogs are safe at all times because I know I would want the same for my own pup! ☺️ I work full-time but since I work remotely, I have the flexibility to spend time taking care of furry loved ones. I can do some weekdays and have more availability on weekends. I have an apartment in a safe community close to the beach where I can take dogs for walks. I have a small outdoor space and a poodle mix who loves to play with others. ❤️

“Susan was so amazing with Willow! She was very reliable as well as flexible. She was on time every time and switched timing around when need be. Would recommend Susan to everyone! A big plus too is that she will run with your pup!!!!”

“I contacted Max for a very last minute booking and he came by the night before I needed him to meet and greet my pup. My dog loves him at first sight! He was super polite, authentic, and happy to walk my dog! Can’t ask for much more. Will definitely recommend him!!”

“Deidre is our new go to regular dog walker. She has taken such great care of my fur baby while I’m stuck at work all day. She has even been available same day and her communication is on point. I can’t say enough positive things about her. She even goes above and beyond and brings in packages left on the front door. I can tell how happy my pup is on walks with her from the pics we get through rover. 10/10 recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Amanda, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 25 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and that love has only grown stronger with time. I’ve had the privilege of sharing my home with many pets over the years and currently live with two amazing dogs—Max, a sweet and loyal Black Lab, and Tucker, a playful and friendly Goldendoodle. They’re both a big part of my daily life and a constant reminder of how special our furry companions truly are. My experience includes caring for pets of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing a gentler approach, I provide calm, patient, and loving care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also comfortable with basic training reinforcement, giving medications, and handling multi-pet households. I offer: * Dog Walking- Whether it’s a short potty break or a long stroll, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need. * Drop-In Visits- Quick check-ins for feeding, playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away. * Overnight Boarding (in your home)- I’ll stay with your pets in their familiar environment, keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My goal is to provide the same level of care and compassion I’d want for my own dogs. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to connect and learn more about how I can support you and your pets! I work a flexible part-time job, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of schedules and pet care needs. Whether your pup needs a long morning walk, a midday drop-in visit, or overnight care while you're away, I’m here to help. I’m available for: * Extended dog walks throughout the day * Overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable and cared for * Backyard playtime or relaxing visits for pets who just want some company and attention Because of my flexible schedule, I can often adjust my visits to match your pet’s routine—early mornings, evenings, or weekends included. Just let me know what works best for you and your pets! When caring for pets in their home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and creating a calm, stress-free environment that feels secure and familiar. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their own space while you're away, and I do everything I can to ensure they feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared-for in your absence. Here’s how I provide trustworthy and safe in-home care: * Consistent Routines: I stick closely to your pet’s daily schedule—walks, feedings, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and bedtime—to help maintain a sense of normalcy. * Crate Training & Comfort: I’m very comfortable with crate-trained dogs and fully support the routine and structure it provides. I make sure crate time feels safe and positive, never stressful or used as punishment. * Respect for Your Home: I care for your space just as I do your pet—keeping it clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. * Open Communication: You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. * Earning Your Pet’s Trust: I build trust through a calm, patient approach and lots of positive attention. Whether your pet is outgoing or shy, I always move at their pace. * Prepared & Observant: I’m attentive to changes in behavior, eating habits, or energy levels and know how to respond quickly if anything seems off. Your pet’s well-being is my number one priority. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I consider it a privilege to be trusted with their care. My goal is to make them feel safe and happy—and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away.

“Cailey has been so great with my golden retriever Carl! I really feel at ease going about my day knowing he is in such good hands for his walks! Couldn’t be happier with her services and love all the update pics! Thanks Cailey!”

About: I love animals. I have had a cat for the past 8 years and I also used to volunteer as a dog walker at the local shelter. The only reason I don’t have a dog of my own, is the amount of travel I have to do with my “day job”. With my job, when I am home, I am totally free. When I’m at work, I’m out of town. My schedule changes monthly. If my schedule is open, I can pretty much help out at any time. Lots of exercise, snuggles, and attention. I occasionally have had to give my cat meds, which I can do if necessary for your pet too. I love to go on walks, so that would be involved too, if you so desire.

About: I have extensive experience in caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs that require special attention. My approach is rooted in patience, understanding, and building trust with the animals I care for. I provide daily walks, playtime, and ensure pets are comfortable in their environment. I’m also familiar with administering medication and managing dietary restrictions for pets with special needs. What sets me apart is my passion for making pets feel at ease while their owners are away. I am particularly skilled at puppy training, helping them develop good habits early on, and I also specialize in senior dog care, offering gentle and tailored approaches to keep them active and comfortable. I am flexible and available around the clock to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether it's early morning walks, mid-day playtime, or late-night feedings, I work with your schedule to ensure that your pet gets the attention they need at any time of day. While I do have other commitments, pet care is always my top priority, and I’m happy to adjust to the specific routine that works best for your pet. When caring for pets in my own home or your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I ensure that pets are kept in a secure environment, whether it’s a cozy, pet-proofed space in my home or an area in yours where they feel comfortable and safe. I follow any specific routines or rules set by pet owners, including feeding times, exercise needs, and any house rules. In my own home, I make sure that there are no hazards that could harm the pets, such as exposed cords or dangerous plants. I also provide plenty of toys, comfy spots to rest, and access to fresh water throughout the day. When staying in your home, I take extra care to maintain your pet's routine and environment, ensuring that they have a sense of normalcy and security while you're away.

“Gwen was amazing. We have 4 very active Shelties including a new puppy. Gwen was great with them and quickly got to learn their personalities and quirks. She was a great communicator! Loved the photos and updates. Will definitely book her again!!”

About: I grew up on a farm, and have been caring for animals my entire life. We always had several dogs and cats, etc. I’ve always felt comfortable in the presence of an animal, especially pupper dogs. My Aunt is a vet so I always went to her clinic to spend time with the animals who hadn’t yet found their one true home. I have experience in dog and house sitting, and can meet each dog’s individual needs whether it be a special routine they do or certain foods they eat. I believe all animals should be loved as much as they love their family, and I’m so excited to be working with dogs big and small alike!:) I just moved to town so I’m pretty free most mornings and days! I can do nights as well.
