About: I believe in the freedom a pet has to do their business and for me to be their poop collector. I will help your senior dog get around if they need a little extra help or with your puppy to gain confidence exploring a new area. I have 3 dogs. 2 Senior at 11 years old and 1 younger at 3 years old. They are taken care of first thing in the morning and last thing at night. 1 has many allergies that we care for each day. When helping out at a pets home I follow directions of the owner. If the pet is allowed in the yard I will stay with them while they are playing and or exploring. I clean up after pets if they accidently make a mess or spill some of their food / water.

“I highly recommend Linda as a dog walker. She walked my two dogs several times a week for almost 2 months and my dogs absolutely loved her. Linda is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, and I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in her care. The first few times she had to coax them to leave with her (my dogs are velcro dogs) but by the second week they were waiting for her arrival, recognized her car and couldnt wait to get started on their walks. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again and I know my dogs will miss her special attention and fun outings. Thanks Linda!!”


About: What sets me apart is my well-rounded experience caring for animals in both professional and personal settings. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant and dog trainer, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health care, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m calm, reliable, and truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether that means going on long walks, playing with high-energy pets, or providing quiet companionship for shy cats. I treat every pet like my own and always strive to give them the attention, comfort, and care they need while you’re away. As a military spouse newly relocated to Fallbrook, I’m using my flexible schedule to offer dependable dog walking and drop-in visits for local pet owners. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing attentive, reliable care to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, which can include playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I also provide neighborhood dog walks to help keep your pup happy, healthy, and active.

I have a senior Yoranian (Yorkie-Pom) that’s an indoor pup and two outdoor only Great Pyrenees mix puppies. I also have two baby goats and six chickens. I've been caring for my friends and family's furkids most of my life while they were away on vacation or times where they were at work for extended hours. So this is a perfect way to have plenty of interaction with many dogs without having more of my own! Lol :) I love furkids and would love to watch and care for your furbaby while your away for a few hours or a few days. I’m mostly home since I have my two young children with me. Even if I’m out, someone is usually at home to be able to watch and care for our furguests. We have 1.25 acres and different fenced off areas. If your furbaby needs to be away from other animals, we can keep them completely separate. I’m a stay at home mom so mostly home to be able to care for your furbaby.

About: I'm a stay at home mom of 3 kids. I love being around animals and so do my kids. We have 4 dogs ( two huskies and 2 yorkies) of our own and can't get enough of them. We love to go on walks and right now we go on about 3-4 walks a day. I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs and help them get some exercise or be played with. Ideally I would like to take my kids with me on the walks/play sessions so I would prefer dogs that are friendly with children. I live in a neighborhood with great trails and plenty of grass. My kids would love if your dogs liked to play fetch since ours don't. We can do drop ins as well!

Will definitely rebook with Hayley!”

Sean P.
“Sean did a wonderful job looking after my two cats, Midge & Birdie, while I was out of the country for two weeks! He emptied their litter boxes every time he came over, fed them both wet and dry kibble according to their established schedule, and played and pet them when they were feeling social. He also sent me lots of pictures of my fur babies while I was away so I could see how they were doing!”
