Dog Walking Rancho Santa Fe

“In the days of people being flaky and irresponsible, what a relief and joy it is to have found Danielle!!! I knew from the initial prompt response from her that she was going to be a rare find!!! I have an 80 lb Pitbull that I pulled from Lancaster Animal Shelter in March. He is a great dog but strong and intimidating looking. I had a friend spending the night but I needed someone to walk him and hang out with him. He had so much fun with Danielle and got exactly the activity he needed! She did alot of enriching activities with him and I SOOOO appreciated the photos and vids and updates of how she left him (ie where the water was with pics, he was out in the house or in the office, etc). She made my international trip so much more relaxing and less stressful knowing he was being well cared for! I have already booked her again and will most certainly continue to use her in the future!!!”

“Garrett was awesome walking my 2 pups. Garrett really helped us of a bind at short notice. He was responsive, friendly and my dogs immediately liked him from the moment they met!”

About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and have been the designated dog sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always checking in on pups, taking them for walks, and giving them lots of love. I’ve also spent plenty of time caring for dogs overnight while their owners were out of town. I truly treat every dog like they’re my own and love getting to know their unique personalities. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pup, whether they need a walk, a quick check-in, or someone to stay with them while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I work full time remotely in HR and love traveling and exploring new places! I’ve always loved dogs and have wanted one of my own for years, but with my current travel lifestyle, now isn’t the right time. Dog sitting and walking feels like the perfect way to spend time with pups, get some extra steps in, and make a little extra money to put toward my travels. I’d love to give your pup some love and attention! I’m a responsible, respectful, and trustworthy person who will treat your home and pets with the same care I would my own. I’m very mindful of personal spaces, keep things clean and tidy, and always follow any instructions you provide. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, checking in on your pup, or spending more time in your home, you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring and respectful hands.

“Mark is super nice, professional, mature and trustworthy. This was our first Rover experience so we were a bit skeptical about the type of person we were entrusting with our beloved Westie. Mark gladly agreed to meet with us which gave us a chance to get to know him. So far we have used him for about 8-10 walks and we are super pleased with him and with Rover.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 30+ years as a professional dog trainer, combined with my calm, compassionate approach to animal care. I specialize in reading canine body language, helping pets feel safe and secure. I also have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs with special needs, ensuring they receive the right balance of exercise, patience, and gentle attention. My availability is very adaptable, offering flexibility throughout both weekdays and weekends. With at least one week’s advance notice, I can easily accommodate your scheduling needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them with the same love and attention I gave my own. I follow each pet’s daily routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I maintain a clean, calm environment, ensuring their comfort and safety at all times. With my background in dog training, I’m skilled at reading canine body language, which helps me provide reassurance and reduce stress while their family is away.

About: I love your pets! :) I love to take dogs on nature walks and hikes in our beautiful town. I have always loved animals and love and care for pet as if it was my own. I was also trained at the humane society as a dog caregiver, and volunteer to give love and snuggles to the dogs waiting to be adopted. I currently have lots of time in my schedule to walk your dog and play with your pets! I'm available for same day requests too! When I am not walking dogs or cats, I teach yoga and meditation, and offer light and sound healing. I will care for your pet based on its needs and your instructions! My last pet sitting client request that I spoon fed her dog bc she likes it better - and I was Happy to! :)

“So kind and accommodating! My poor guy was limping and had been stung by a bee and she went and checked on him for me while I had to go into work quickly before taking him to the vet. She sat with him and gave him lots of love and was so nice. Would definitely use her again!!”

“Lyndsey was great!. Although I didn’t meet her I was grateful she could let Teddy out with her busy schedule She was flexible with walk times, posted pictures of my pup and was communicative on the app which is awesome ! As a fellow nurse I felt safe having her come to our place and walk Teddy - I will def use her again!”

“Jacob was so awesome with my dog. She loved him immediately. I could tell bc she had the zoomies on their second walk together. Couldn’t recommend Jacob highly enough!”

“Ellyn was so great! Super communicative and my dog Zorro was happy and cozy when I got home after his walk. She helped me out last minute and fit me into the schedule. I’m so grateful!”

About: With over 30 years of experience, I provide personalized care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort and happiness. What sets me apart is my focus on behavioral consistency and specialized attention for different life stages. I have extensive experience in puppy training support, using positive reinforcement to maintain your training goals, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra companionship. Whether it’s high-energy playtime or calming cuddles, I tailor every visit to match your pet's unique personality and energy levels. My background as a professional photographer makes me a uniquely patient and observant pet sitter, as I am already trained to anticipate subtle body language and capture a pet's truest personality. I bring that same artistic eye and calm focus to my pet care, ensuring your "best friend" stays engaged and comfortable in their familiar routine. Because my 2026 photography schedule is flexible, I am now fully open for pet sitting and can offer the reliable, high-quality care your pets deserve. As a special bonus, you won't just get a safe and happy pet—you will also receive beautiful, high-quality "souvenir" photos of their daily adventures while you are away. In 2026, creating a safe and trustworthy environment for your pet is my highest priority. Whether I am caring for them in my home or yours, I begin every engagement with a thorough meet-and-greet to align on routines and tour the property for potential safety hazards. In your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, including locking gates, managing alarm codes, and ensuring hazardous items like cleaning supplies or loose cables are inaccessible. To build lasting trust, I maintain transparent communication by providing real-time updates and professional-quality photo check-ins throughout the day. My approach is designed to preserve your pet's familiar routine, reducing their stress while ensuring your home remains secure and respected in your absence.

“Azucena is WONDERFUL! She is reliable and has great communication. She walks my doggy when needed, who loves her, by the way! And she has house sitted for us while we were out of town. She sent me pics and kept me updated the entire time. She really is a gem and a Godsend. She goes above and beyond. She will continue to be my go-to walker/sitter!”

“Analisa is the best! She is great with our 2 year old Bernadoodle, easy to communicate with and extremely reliable. We appreciate her weekly walks and drop-in pet setting when we need her for longer stretches.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young. I have had multiple big dogs of my own growing up and I am very comfortable around all kinds of dogs. I’m patient and reliable, and I enjoy making sure each dog feels loved and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or a calm stop by, I’m happy to adjust to each dog’s needs. I am currently a student with a set schedule that allows me plenty of time in mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for your pets, whether thats going for walks, playing, or just a quick visit! I treat every dog like they’re my own. Walks, play time, and visits are always secure, full of exercise, and tailored to each dogs needs!

“Lauren was fantastic with our dog and communicated so well. Would absolutely use her again. She’s so nice too!”

About: I've owned multiple breeds of dogs from overly energetic Jack Russels, to water-loving Huskies, to lap cuddling Maltese. I am excellent with dogs and would love to spend time with your fur baby. My specialty is tiring out active medium to large breed dogs, however I'm happy to tone it down to a stroll for your elderly or pocket-sized pup. Positive affirmations and personalized attention are a given as well! I am also a big gardener and am able to water and maintain your garden/indoor plants while you’re away as well. I have experience with caring for disabled dogs and for managing aggressive behaviors in dogs as well. I have full open availability for walks, dog park play sessions, hikes, beach outings and overnight stays. My dog can tag along or stay home depending on your preferences. I will treat your dog with as much care and love as I do my own girl, Chloe. It is a scary and daunting process to find and trust a pet sitter which I understand first-hand. I can assure you I am obsessed with dogs and would be honored to spend time with your fur babies.

“My dog does not do well with boarding and can be standoffish and barky with new people. We hired Tianyi to come 3x per day for a walk when we were away and to make sure our dog's food and water were set. She was so great with our dog. She gave us updates and pictures. When we came home our dog was happy and excited and was in good health and spirits. We will definitely use Tianyi again! I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my entire life, and I truly love animals. They bring me so much joy, and I believe they deserve nothing but the best care, attention, and love. I’ve also ridden and cared for horses since I was 10… I always joke that if I can confidently handle a 1,200 lb animal, I can probably handle your dog! 😊 My friends would describe me as loyal, reliable, responsible, and genuinely happy to be around. When your pets are in my care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m also very respectful of your space and will take just as much care with your home while you’re away. I currently work remote 100% of the time so I can be there during the day time and evening. I also love to go on long walks so they can join for those if you’d like. I would treat your home exactly how I treat mine with respect, care, and with lots of love! I am clean responsible and would ensure your dog is loved on all the time. They might not even notice you are gone (;

“Erin is very sweet and I can tell how much she loves all animals. She was very prompt and sent me lots of pictures of my dog's walk! I look forward to having her walk Murphy again!”
