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!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a college student originally from San Diego and recently spent the year living in NYC going to school at Fordham University. Living in the city I gained experience dog walking in a fast-paced environment. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from quick neighborhood walks to longer outings with lots of energy and attention. Back home, I’ve always grown up around animals and currently have a dog named Lucy and a cat named Winter. I am home for the summer and would love the chance to dog walk/pet sit. I’m very active, reliable, and truly love spending time with pets! I’m currently a freshman in college with classes scheduled at different times throughout the week. Many days I have large gaps between classes (for example, a morning class and then another later in the afternoon), which gives me flexibility for mid-day walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m very organized with my schedule and plan ahead to ensure I’m reliable and on time. I’m also happy to communicate in advance to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m pet sitting in your home or taking your dog on a walk, I stay attentive, aware of our surroundings, and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure everything is secure before I leave. During walks, I prioritize safe routes, proper leash handling, and keeping your dog comfortable at all times. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment.

About: As a flexible college student looking for summer work, I have a schedule that allows me to dedicate reliable time and attention to the pets I care for. I have 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, caring for pets with a wide range of routines and medical needs. I’ve cared for dogs/cats from just a few months old to senior age, requiring extra patience, monitoring, and specialized care. I’m experienced administering oral medications, eye and ear medications, and topical treatments. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure pets stay safe, healthy, and comfortable. Along with my professional experience, I’ve also owned and cared for dogs, cats, and horses throughout my life. I genuinely love animals and do my best to care for every pet with the same attention and love I would want for my own pets. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’ve owned and cared for a dog, six different cats, a horse, and rodents throughout my life. I’m very used to managing feeding schedules, exercise, grooming, cleaning, playtime, and giving animals consistent attention and care every day. As a college student not taking classes over the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible by providing plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. I truly try to care for every pet like they’re my own so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and leave them as clean, or cleaner, than I found them while carefully following all care instructions.

“AJ did a great job with Atticus! I highly recommend AJ to any pet owner. He showed up on time and made sure that Atticus' needs were taken care of.”

About: I have 2 dogs currently and I have had 3 dogs at one time. I also dog sit occasionally for family friends. Most of my dog sitting experience has been staying at someone’s house and taking care of the dogs and house. I know how to take care of both puppies and senior dogs and I have experience giving medication to pets as well. I’m currently on a summer break in between graduating from the University of Michigan and attending law school in the fall. Most of my days are very open so I would love to fill them with pet sitting or dog walking! I have experience dog sitting overnight and following routines. I have a bigger lab and a smaller dog, and I have also had a husky. I have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and their routines!

“Mia was super sweet, and accommodating to my last minute request. Thank you so much!”

About: I've taken care of aggressive dogs, dogs with special medical needs, and everything in between. I am reliable, communicative, and I love being with animals. As a teacher, I get summer vacations, so I have a free schedule to devote to petsitting. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, for short or long periods. I have experience taking care older dogs, and I'm also comfortable around dogs with behavioral problems. In every case, I'm attentive to the animal's needs.

“Diana is reliable, trustworthy and caring. Our golden retriever enjoys his afternoon walks with Diana. She is very responsive and sends great updates and pictures.”

“Ari is excellent ! My dogs instantly loved her. And after just a few minutes, I felt immediately comfortable. I knew she would be great with my dogs. She’s on time great communication, professional, and friendly. Everything you want in a Dog Walker.!”

“Grace has been walking my two hyper and (sometimes) reactive dogs on hour long walks 1x per week. She’s been great with them, and they both warmed up to her so quickly! Grace is always prompt with communicating and her schedule timing. We will definitely be continuing to work with Grace and I’d recommend her to others, too. Thank you, Grace!”

“Kaitlyn is great! she is always prompt and communicative, my dog loves her!”

Whitney B.

“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.”

James B.

“Garrett has been awesome! Super reliable, smooth communication, nice guy and clearly loves dogs. Our dog Chloe is in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello, I'm Drew! I've been off-hand dog, cat, and hamster sitting for neighbors and friends since I can remember! I'm a rising senior at Cal Poly SLO and currently volunteer at the Cal Poly Cat Program (a non-profit volunteer-run cat shelter on campus) in my free time. For the pups, I am a nature lover and enjoy getting out and going for fun walks or hikes regularly. I love all animals and hope to meet your pet soon! I'm working part time this summer and have tons of availability outside of my schedule. I'm an early bird and don't mind those pets who get up at the first sign of sun! My family dog is the opposite, so I'm used to staying up to let him out too. Either way, I am incredibly available to match whatever needs your pet has! Having taken care of a plethora of childhood through high school pets, I understand different animal temperaments. Gaining trust with a new animal is always my top priority and recognizing that they may be territorial at first with a new person in their home.

About: For the past 2 years I have not only been dog sitting for family and friends, but I have been volunteering at shelters and adoption events allowing me to have experience with all types of pets. My dream has been on becoming a veterinarian and becoming a future dog owner, on my free time I spend it on looking into the best options on ensuring good health in dogs. I will be able to ensure pet care on weekends, I currently have a part time job during the weekdays and at the moment do now know my schedule for those days. I have access to 2 dog parks near my house along with other open parks with lots of space for your pet to roam. With me they will always have access to anything necessary to make them feel loved and happy. In your home I will make sure to follow through any rules you have set for your property and your pet keeping you and your pet feeling safe even while your away.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including puppies, so I understand how important patience, attention, and consistency are when caring for pets. I’m very reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether that’s during walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I also pay close attention to routines and instructions because I know every dog has different needs and personalities. I just graduated college, I am currently not working and home for the summer, so I have a lot of free time and am very flexible. I’ve had puppies and three dogs throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m very cautious when it comes to safety and always make sure pets are in a secure, comfortable environment. I pay close attention during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure pets have plenty of attention, water, and care. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and instructions to help pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

“We have used Karen a couple of times, she is great! She is very kind and very thorough. She made sure my pups were well taken care of when I was not able to be there.”

About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.

“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!”
