Dog Walking San Carlos

“Sophia was great with our dog! She showed up on time each day and completed the walking and feeding.”

David Y.

“Paige is wonderful with my dog, who has leash anxiety. As our regular dog walker, she is always punctual and communicative. On our first visit, Paige took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his triggers, routines, allergies, treats, and do’s and don’ts before starting. She handled him calmly and patiently, making safety and positive interactions a clear priority. I really appreciated how attentive and understanding she is, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life by dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and at 40+ years in, my love for them has only grown. I've pet sat for many households and have a natural ability to handle all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I'm a verified member of Trusted House Sitters (in which the primary is pet sitting), and I take that seriously. I'm experienced with medically complex pets. I've administered subcutaneous fluids, insulin injections, and oral medications. I also have cared for special needs animals including a three-legged seizure-prone Chihuahua, a teacup Chihuahua with broken elbows, and a German Shepherd with cow-hocks disease. If your pet has extra needs, they're in capable hands. My approach is calm, grounded, and playful and animals feel it. I'm a certified hypnotherapist and life coach, and the same energy awareness and patience I bring to people, I bring to pets. Anxious, shy, and difficult animals tend to soften around me naturally. My sister didn't call me the Cat and Dog Whisperer for nothing. :D I have a soft spot for the ones others overlook. I've rescued an abandoned Chihuahua-Terrier, adopted a shelter pup, and my two boys Bruce and Charlie came to me as feral kittens nobody else wanted. Every animal deserves patience, consistency, and genuine love and that's exactly what I bring to every walk and drop-in. I'm a San Diego local with regular availability in LA County as well, so wherever you are, I've got you covered. My schedule is flexible and I'm available most weekdays and select weekends, morning through evening. I don't operate on a rigid 9-to-5, which means I can work around your pet's needs rather than the other way around. Outside of pet care, I'm an active, outdoorsy person and love hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding. That energy carries directly into every walk and drop-in. Your dog won't just get a stroll around the block, they'll get someone who genuinely loves being outside and moving. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities always. I follow your established routines closely and take detailed instructions seriously. Every home, every pet, and every owner is different, and I respect that. When I'm in your home I treat it with care. I leave things as clean or cleaner than I found them. Your space and your pet's environment will be respected. I'm extremely mindful of doors and escape artists. I know how quickly a curious pet can bolt, and I create my own blockades when needed to make sure no one slips out unexpectedly. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs simultaneously including large, high-energy breeds. I've walked a Rottweiler and German Shepherd together, both with strong pulling tendencies, and handled them with confidence. You'll never wonder how your pet is doing. I send photos and updates daily including sometimes multiple times a day because I know how much you miss them and how much it means to see a happy face pop up on your phone. I also have hands-on experience with pet first aid, including applying Quik Stop for bleeding so minor mishaps are handled calmly and quickly without panic. Your home, your routines, your pet I've got all of it handled.

“I have a 155lb Great Dane and I am very weary of letting just anyone walk him because of his size and strength. Caity might not be big, but she’s mighty! The first walk I got cute pictures and updates, and when she showed up for the second walk it was like I no longer existed and it was the Oceyn and Caity show! That made me feel good that he has a good time with her. I’m pregnant and on bed rest so I can’t walk him myself… but even when I can walk him again I still plan to keep Caity around 😊”

About: Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up on a ranch, I was surrounded by all creatures great and small. From housebreaking a pot-bellied pig (yes, you read that right!) to riding horses in rodeos, my adventures with animals started young. Now, I get to extend that passion by caring for my friends' and families' furry companions. Every pup has a unique personality, quirks and all, and I love figuring them out. My goal is to make their time with me a blast, filled with cuddles and fun! People trust me with their precious pups, and I take pride in providing them with the loving and gentle care they deserve. With weekdays at home on Mondays and Fridays, and free weekends, I can offer your pup all-day companionship and care. As a dedicated homebody who doesn't travel, I'll give your furry friend my undivided attention. Pet-sitting becomes a joyful part of my day, and I can't wait to make your dog feel loved and entertained! Forget doggy daycare, it's adventure time! I might not have a yard, but that just means more epic walks! We can sniff out hidden trails by the lake, explore all the cool smells in the neighborhood, and have a blast together. Since I'm a homebody with zero furry roommates, your pup gets the VIP treatment: all my attention and adventures tailored to their energy level.

“Always takes great care of my dog Misty. Makes sure she's feed and plays with her. Best sitter I've had.”

“Abby showed up on time. She is very friendly and even though our dog tends to hesitate to walk with new people she enjoyed the walk. Abby has been great!”

“Friendly, incredibly communicative, and most importantly our pup loves walking with Mackenzie- when we say her name to him he wags his tail and goes to get his leash.”

About: I've had animals my whole life and taking primary care for them was one of my first "big kid" tasks and I couldn't have been more thrilled. Giving love, scritches, walks, and ball throws is what I live for. If I'm not covered in fur at the end of the day, did it even happen? I'm a part time working mom with a flexible schedule. I would love to give your dog or cat that mid-day break they might crave while you're stuck in the office trying to earn them a bigger backyard. I'm happy to care for your pets in the same way you would. If a quick walk and kennel is all your furry friend needs, sign me up! If you need a mid-afternoon litter scoop because your kitty is very particular about the state of her litter box, no problem! If you need ball throwing, cuddle time, or anything else to make your furball feel the love, then let me know.

About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve worked with breeds of all sizes and personalities—from Rottweilers, Mastiffs and Pit Bulls to French Bulldogs, Australian Shepherds, English Bulldogs and many others. I have a special passion for working with dogs that others may be hesitant to care for, including large breeds, strong personalities and reactive or misunderstood dogs. As someone who understands the challenges of owning these incredible pets, I provide patient, confident and compassionate care without judgment. To me, pets are family and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m experienced in caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent feeding and medication schedules.

“Rebecca was amazing with our pup Koda, who is a bigger dog. She is very responsive and communicative. We appreciated her help so much she gave us peace of mind during our trip!”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and treat them as I do my own children with much TLC. I feel animals are just as important and need care as much as we do. They are the most genuine and purest form of love and friendship one can endure. I used to run a infant and toddler home daycare and now I'm interested in expanding my pet sitting business. I have more free time as I've closed the home business and venturing out in pet care. I prefer care in the owner's home where the pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I will feed, pickup droppings, walk and snuggle.

About: Ever since I was a teenager my family and friends have relied on me to take care of their animals. Everyone knows they are safe while they’re gone. While most of my friends are focused on marriage/having kids, I am more focused on spending time with animals😂 I’m currently taking real estate appraisal courses so my schedule is very flexible! Right now, I’m taking online courses for my profession. In between classes I would like to take breaks by taking care of animals. It’s both a stress reliever and something I love to do. I keep an eye out for any safety concerns or measures that need to take place to ensure the safety of your animals. Safety is key!

“Whitney is a true pet lover. She is very thoughtful, communicative, and caring. Our dogs and I look forward to many future visits with her. Many thanks from everyone in our family, Whitney!”
