Dog Walkers in Pala Mesa, CA

About: I have been trusted by friends and family to pet sit the past 3 years. I love all animals the same and have owned multiple pets my whole life. I am working part time and college part time with a flexible afternoon schedule. Mornings on Friday-Sundays are always great and give me lots of free time. I have a secure fenced in backyard with chickens separated to the side. We have a dog crate inside. At this time I do not offer boarding while I am trying to train my puppy.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I've been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and currently have a furry friend of my own. With years of experience, I've become the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and neighbors, whether it's for a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. From playful pups to senior companions, I’m dedicated to giving each dog the attention, care, and love they deserve while their owners are away. Your pet will feel right at home with me! As a hairstylist and makeup artist working four days a week, I love balancing my creative work with my passion for caring for pets on my days off. With a flexible schedule, I can devote my free time to providing dedicated, reliable care for your furry friends. Whether it's a quick visit or an overnight stay, I ensure every pet feels loved and looked after while you're away. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I strictly follow every instruction provided by the pet parent. I understand how crucial it is to stick to routines and adhere to any dietary or health restrictions for your pet’s safety. Having a dog with strict dietary requirements myself, I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone and worry if they will be cared for properly. That’s why I make it my priority to follow all rules and guidelines, so you can feel 100% confident that your pet is in good hands.

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.

There is plenty of paths, grassy area both in my community and on my street! They will have access to any/all furniture (unless you have specific rules).....they will think they are at a *****resort =)

About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I have always been the person to call when my friends are going out of town and need a sitter, and I love it! I also have experience watching new born puppies and their momma. I work part time, about 4 days a week. So depending on my schedule I can easily find time to give your dog some love and attention. I have a fenced in backyard, and plenty of walking trails around my neighborhood when they need a walk. We also have a pet free home right now, so no worry about them getting along with other dogs or cats.

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. Grew up in the country enjoying the luxury of having many fur babies. I also spent many years volunteering at a humane society, learning about the different dog breeds. I specialized in the rescue cases. I know how hard it is to juggle work, travel, etc. when you have pets. I want to help ease your worries. I’m here to help! I recently just relocated from Hawaii so my schedule is very open while I look for full time employment. I’m here for whatever your pet needs. I will follow your pet care instructions that best suits your fur baby. Each pet is different in their needs and wants so I will customize for each.

“Sarah is the best! I’ve been using her for almost a year… she does everything from drop ins and overnights at my house when I’m on vacation, to daily walks, and giving my dog his medication. She’s been a life saver on the days/weeks that I’ve needed to work late or be out of town. Sometimes I think my dog likes her more than he likes me :) LOL! She is very dependable, reliable and responsible. I trust her with a key to my home and a code to my alarm system. That’s not something I take lightly. If you’re looking for a superstar “dog nanny” in the Tracy area please reach out to her for a meet and greet.”

“Our dogs love Nick. Probably more than us to be honest. He is great with the dogs, he always communicates what he’s doing with them and he has a genuine feel for interacting with them”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, and providing playtime. I’m comfortable with different sizes and personalities and always make sure pets feel safe and happy. I’ve made room in my schedule specifically for dog walking, so I can give each pet my full attention and keep a consistent routine. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by keeping dogs on leash, avoiding unsafe areas, and paying close attention to their behavior. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for.

About: I have been involved with animals most of my adult life. I have raised a Guide Dog with my daughter when she was in middle school and have volunteered at two separate rescue organizations. I volunteered at the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary taking care of cats for two years and am currently volunteering as a dog walker for the Humane Society in Oceanside. In addition, I have rescued a total of three dogs. My two current rescue dogs are part of the family and make me smile everyday. I am currently working part-time at an elementary school in Oceanside and can work with pets in the morning, on the weekends, and during my many breaks from school. My goal is to eventually dedicate all my time to working with pets. I will follow my client’s instructions on caring for their pet and will make sure their pet is safe with me out on walks. I have two bigs dogs of my own and know how to make sure that they never escape.

About: I’ve been pet-sitting for my neighbor for more than 18 years and I even have experience raising puppies for Canine Companions for Independence. I was also a dog walker for a brief time as well. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have plenty of time to dog/cat-sit in the afternoons and some late mornings. I’m hoping this will lead to some good opportunities. I have a fenced good-sized backyard with a dog-run and a big hill to run around. I don’t have a crate at the moment, so you will have to provide your own.

About: As a child I have always favored something fluffy 💛 I grew up with two amazing dogs a large Labrador and Britney Spaniel. I currently have two adorable kitty’s who love attention and cuddles. After serving in the Navy and moving back from Hawaii, I now work remotely in life insurance, which gives me the opportunity to keeps my schedule open to care for your babies any time or day. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me, and I’d love to give your furry friend the same love and attention. Remote worker with a flexible schedule, available for pet care throughout the day. Reliable, experienced, and ready to give your pet the attention they deserve! I treat every pet like family—whether in my home or yours. I follow all care instructions closely, ensure a safe space, and prioritize comfort, trust, and consistency.

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!

“Heather is such a gentle, loving dog walker! My Stella adores her and always comes back happy. I’m so grateful for the kindness and care she gives every single time.”
