About: I have owned toy dogs to Mastiffs and Everything in Between for 30 Years. I will keep your pet happy and safe through knowledgeable service. Free everyday as needed. Work for myself and will take your pets on workouts as required. Just give me a message and I will handle your pets exercise and socialization needs. I will walk them on a leash and be aware of weather conditions. While they are with me they will have food and water whenever they need it. And since I love dogs I will make sure they are always safe.
About: I have been a dog walker and dog sitter for around 6 months. I like to run with energetic dogs and walk with the more chill dogs. I can handle dogs that may pull or be stubborn. I typically bring my own poop bags in case it's needed. If I'm not busy hanging out with my friends or with school I will be walking dogs. I'm usually free on weekends and during afternoons on weekdays. When I do dog walks I like to stay aware of what the dog is doing and sniffing. I notice that some dogs like to eat random crap off the floor, so I tend to stay alert for that.
About: Finding someone to care for your pets can be tough at times, especially to trust others in providing the best service. As a pet owner myself it is my personal responsibility to treat every single animal i come across as a family member. I follow detailed instruction so i can make sure to care for them just as you would. I have experience with high energy dogs and larger breeds, and have no breed preference! I am great with senior dogs and can administer medication and follow any special instructions with animals who need special care! I wouldn’t want anyone to second guess choosing me as a care taker for their pets! I’ve been taking care of animals for friends and family since i was a little kid and i have always enjoyed hanging out with them to brighten up both of our days. Thank you so much to anyone who has let me care for their pets! -Your pet sitter Breanna I work from home and I’m very flexible, so I can work with any schedule to help accommodate your needs. Whether that be early in the morning, afternoon or evening I can help at any time! I like the help your pets feel at home and safe, I know a lot of pets can get anxiety around new people, so if that means taking them to a familiar dog park, walk where they normally walk or play fetch at home with their favorite toy I will follow all instruction!
About: I have grown up with a dog to care for all my life. I have dog sat, walked, and fed neighbor and friends dogs since I was about 12 years old!

About: I’ve been walking, watching over, and taking care of dogs of all sorts of ages, shapes and sizes in the San Diego community since my early days of high school. With experience with every type of dog from aging dogs to spry puppies. I’m currently at home from College so I have plenty of time to take care of pets throughout the week as my time can be spent giving the upmost care. I have experience boarding in various homes of the years while also being able to provide my own house where I have a 7 year old lab as a companion and a large backyard in the side of Rancho Bernardo
About: Hi! My names Jordyn and I was raised around all sorts of animals and always involved with their care from a young age until I eventually rescued several of my own. From snakes, fish, rats, cats, dogs, birds, etc. All of my animals have lived or are currently living out very long fulfilled lives 🥰. My last cat passed at 21yo and my sweet soul dog deuce was rescued at 5weeks and passed recently at almost 16yo. I almost always bond with animals instantly. I have pet sitting experience from my previous nanny job of four years as well for several friends and family members. I work full time from home and have a very flexible schedule with a great boss. I work as a heart transplant financial coordinator and have complete control over my work schedule. I talk to my pets A LOT - always have always will! I give them love on their terms and cater my treatment to each of their individual personalities because each animal is unique! I like to mirror as however the pet owner treats their pets as much as possible. My husband and I live in a 3br/2.5ba townhouse with a gated patio and large balcony. We do lots of walks to compensate for lack of full yard. My stepson is with us 50% of the time, every other week. They often share responsibilities of loving on and caring for the animals we board.

Kardi also gelled very well, as they say dogs have a separate feel for their lovers. We are going to leave our dog @Nikki's during our all upcoming trips.”
