Dog Walkers in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

“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!!!”

“We love Carina! Our mini Aussie shepherd puppy adores walks with her. She is incredibly attentive, sweet and knowledgeable, has a great response time and is awesome about sending thorough updates and lots of lovely photos! It’s super evident that every walk is a fun and enriching experience for our little pup with Carina. We’re big fans 🥰🐾 Highly recommend!!”

About: I’m 23 and have grown up around animals my entire life — including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small pets like hamsters and crabs. I currently have two cats of my own, one of whom has a cognitive disability, so I’m very comfortable providing extra patience, mobility support, and attentive care when needed. I’ve dog-sat for pups ranging from playful puppies to sweet seniors and understand that every animal has unique needs, energy levels, and routines. Animals truly feel like family to me, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attentiveness I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be fully present and attentive during visits, walks, or stays. I am available for weekday or weekend care. I have a class from 9-12 Monday-Friday When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care instructions carefully. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, affection, and enrichment based on their age and energy level. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and keep spaces clean and tidy. I also provide regular photo and text updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages including my own dogs, who are both large breeds (pit/mastiff mix and boxer)! I feel comfortable caring for and walking large and/or reactive dogs as well as other dogs and animals. I also have puppy care experience (including my own) and know how to keep a watchful eye on them. I am currently available every weekday and weekend from 9am until 9pm and am very flexible and attentive with scheduling. I am available for check-ins, walks, in-house sitting, feeding, and playtime! While I can not board animals in my home, I can travel to yours where your pet will be most comfortable. I keep a constant eye on the animals at all times and care for them as if they were my own!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly can’t imagine life without animals. I grew up on a cattle ranch surrounded by dogs and cats so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From raising puppies to loving senior dogs through their golden years, I’ve experienced every stage and I cherish them all. I grew up with two Labradors and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and I currently have an 8 yr old rescue Chiweenie from Mexico and a 13 yr old Goldendoodle. Caring for a senior dog has given me a deep understanding of patience, attentiveness, and gentle care. For the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with 2 local dog rescues which has given me extensive experience with all types of dogs including those who are reactive, anxious or strong leash pullers. I’m comfortable administering medication and always approach each dog with a calm and loving energy. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe and completely loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and jogs, or prefers slow sniff filled strolls or cozy cuddle time at home, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and at ease. My goal is to become your go-to, trusted dog walker and someone your dog gets genuinely excited to see! I truly love dogs so much and I can’t wait to meet yours 🤍 I currently have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be fully present during my time with dog. I'm available weekday or weekend care. Safety and trust are everything to me. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can care for them just like you would. On walks, I stay alert and mindful, with experience handling reactive or strong leash pullers, always prioritizing their safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent while making sure water is full, feeding routines are followed, and medications are given if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for ◡̈

About: Hello! My name is Kirk, and am a lifelong animal lover, experienced dog walker & pet sitter, trusted families throughout San Diego and North County. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you’ve come to the right place. I grew up with Black Labs and multiple cats as a child and have been around dogs, cats and other pets my entire life. As an adult I’ve had six dogs and three cats of my own ranging from large, medium, and small breeds, which has given me a great understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. About ten years ago I began pet sitting for friends and family, and over the past 6–8 years I’ve regularly cared for walked and pet sit for dogs and cats throughout the year. I’ve worked with playful high-energy dogs who need long walks, older pets who need patience and gentle care, and cats who appreciate a calm and attentive presence. I pride myself on being an attentive, dependable, and loving pet caregiver. When your pet is with me they receive extra attention, extra love, and extra care. I’m very mindful of safety, routines, and making sure each animal feels comfortable and secure. Whether that means walks, playtime, companionship, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I make sure your pet feels happy and well cared for. I also have many personal references here in San Diego from families whose pets I’ve cared for over the years, and I’m always happy to provide them. For me, this isn’t just a side job, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy building my schedule around providing reliable walks, visits, and care for animals. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention and time they deserve. During the day I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a longer walk, feeding, or some companionship while you're away. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and relaxed. For dogs, walks are tailored to their energy level, some enjoy a brisk walk and exercise, while others prefer a slower, more relaxed stroll. For cats, visits include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and spending time with them so they feel calm and cared for. I try to keep my calendar updated regularly and respond quickly to requests. My goal is to be dependable and make scheduling easy so you can feel confident that your pet will receive consistent, attentive care. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make the experience calm, safe, and enjoyable for them while giving you peace of mind while you're away. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to follow the schedule and preferences you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure. A typical visit or walk begins with a quick check-in to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and relaxed. For dogs, this usually means a walk that matches their energy level, whether that’s a fun, active outing or a slower stroll around the neighborhood. After the walk, I make sure they have fresh water, settle them comfortably, and spend a little extra time giving attention or play if they enjoy it. For cats, visits include feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, and spending time with them in whatever way they prefer—some cats love playtime and attention, while others simply appreciate quiet companionship. I keep things clean, organized, and respectful of your home while I’m there. I also send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re being well cared for. Above all, you can expect reliability, patience, and genuine care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to make each visit positive, safe, and comforting for them.

About: I’m a reliable, caring, and adaptable pet sitter who truly loves animals. I’m always respectful of your home and attentive to your pet’s needs, and I make sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, well-fed, and well-praised (yes, I absolutely tell them how beautiful they are!). I’m athletic and active, so I’m happy to take dogs out for long walks, runs, or energetic playtime—whatever suits their personality and energy level. I have experience house sitting for both dogs and cats, as well as providing dog-walking services, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a Yoga Instructor, I have flexible windows of availability that we can discuss to find what works best for you. I’m communicative, dependable, and always willing to accommodate special routines, rules, medications, or care instructions to ensure your pet stays comfortable and happy. I genuinely love spending time with animals and am excited to take on more pet care opportunities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and helping make their time with me smooth, fun, and stress-free! I'm currently working part-time as a Yoga Instructor and I have a flexible schedule. I'm available for pet sitting, boarding, and walks 7 days a week I have a small fenced yard where your dog can relax outside. I have one senior cat who has been socialized with dogs that primarily stays in one area in the living room. I fully monitor and supervise when we're in her presence. I am also happy to travel to you and look after your fur baby in your space. I'm happy to do a meet and greet before to see if it's a good fit!

“Sarah is amazing! I’m so grateful for her love for my little man 🐶. She’s always so easy to communicate with and keeps me up today on her visits / walks with Cuzco!”

Karenna S.

“I’m so thankful to have found Analisa! My dog is super shy with new people and takes a lot to warm up. She sits with him for a full visit if he refuses to walk, and eventually got him to walk to our neighborhood park after several visits. Knowing he is cared for takes my stress away while I’m at work, thank you Analisa!”

Brittany C.

“Brittany walks my golden weekly and always does a great job! She is punctual, attentive, and a good communicator. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to take care of their fur child.”

Alexis K.

“I highly recommend Cari! She has taken really well to my girl, Marley. I can tell she is kind and definitely loves animals. She is also very communicative and it's really helpful to have someone that is this dependable and communicative!”
