Dog Walkers in San Luis Rey, CA

“Tonya is everything you could ever want in a temporary parent for your pet. She is kind, the dogs love her, and she does above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of. Could not recommend her services enough.”

“Richard has been walking my newly adopted adult dog, Argos, for a couple of weeks now. He's been very reliable. Argos is a large, strong dog. I'm confident in Richard's ability to handle Argos. I'm also extremely grateful to Richard for helping me build a consistent routine for Argos as he acclimates to his new home. Because of this consistency, Argos has really come out of his shell and shown himself to be a happy-go-lucky pup who loves interaction with people.”

About: As an animal owner for many years I’m often looking for reliable, loving, people to step in when I’m not available. Offering that service to my neighbors and community is a passion. I treat and respect companion animals with the same care as my own. 💕🐾 I’m a perfect person for busy working people who need mid-day check-ins and walks. Also, have a beautiful fenced safe yard for doggie day care. Time, patience and understanding of each pet and their individual needs are m priority. There are many wonderful ways to connect with pets. I offer walks, play time, and quiet time as needed. Treats, scratches, snuggles and positive reinforcement galore.

About: I have a genuine love for animals. I approach each pet with empathy and a commitment to providing the best care possible. I go above and beyond to ensure not only the pet's physical well-being but also their emotional happiness. I have strong communication skills and do my best to connect with both pets and their owners foster trust and peace of mind. Ultimately, my goal as a pet sitter is to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets when their owners can't be there. I understand that each pet is unique, and I adapt my care approach to cater to their individual needs and preferences. I keep pet owners informed with updates and any concerns that may arise during my care. I am quick to address any issues that may arise, whether it's a pet's health concern or a household problem that needs attention. I have a very flexible schedule and no children, which allows me to really dedicate my full attention to your pets. In my profession as a counselor, I have a lot of flexibility, which makes it easy for me to offer reliable care. I also live on my own and currently don’t have any pets myself. So if your pet stays at my home, they’ll have a calm environment all to themselves without other animals around. Recently, my sister and her cats were living with me, so I’m used to having furry friends around, but right now it’s just me. This means your pet will get all the attention and comfort they need. I take great pride in maintaining a clean and safe environment for pets, ensuring their well-being is a top priority. Offering safe pet care services in both my secure home with a gated backyard and your own home, I prioritize the well-being of your beloved pets. Whether it's maintaining a safe, clean, and stimulating environment, adhering to feeding and medication schedules, or providing play and exercise, rest assured that your furry family will receive the utmost care and attention. I will be respectful of your specific rules and preferences.

“We loved having you take care of our girls. It won’t be the last. I look forward to seeing you & your family again. Thank you so much.”

About: I have 1 dog named Tony, who is 7 years old. I raised 4 other dogs in the past for friends and family: Simon (13), Finney (4), Sachi (5), Benji (1). With each dog, I have raised them since they were puppies. They are all friendly, loving and sweet dogs, that I made sure to socialize and train on my own. I work on giving them a happy life by consistent structure, routine, and training. I potty trained them myself along with teaching them tricks like sit, stay, paw, wait, dance, find it, etc. I believe in the dogs having mental and physical stimulation to keep them busy and engaged for a happy life. I also help the neighbors walking, caring, and house sitting for their dogs which range from all different types of breeds. I love dogs and treat them just like children. And since my eldest dog just turned 13, I care for him as the old man he is (slow walks, helping off of furniture, and daily meds for his bone support and heart health). I have taken care of dogs of all ages from puppies to elderly, along with size from 10 pounds all the way to over 100 pounds. I am a student who just studies at home often, so I am available 24/7 for your pups! Whenever or wherever needed, I am happy to help! I have a fenced backyard in my home, but also a fenced dog park in my community specifically for dogs to run and play. I can crate them if needed, but for me I love my dogs to have a free environment where we can hang out together. Dogs are able to sleep or hang out on the bed or couch or in their own bed if wanted. In a clients home, I will always respect whatever the client prefers for their dogs and their home.

“Jaana is absolutely wonderful with my two pups! We did a meet and greet right before she started walking my dogs so they would be more comfortable with her. She is great about sending updates and pictures from every walk! I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up walking my neighbor's dogs and have always had a soft spot in my heart for them. I feel a kindred connection to Huskies because of my active lifestyle, but really just like all dogs. I can run, walk, or Netfix with all breeds! I work in the schools and am currently on summer break, so I have time to get into dog walking and pet sitting more consistently at the moment. Dogs are quite friendly and respectful with me. I'd like to think I am the same with them in that I can lead them but also follow their cues. I can also adhere to whatever instructions the owners give when sitting or walking.

“Anna was so good with the dogs ! I have an old little one and bigger nervous dog. They really like her !”

“Nolan was great, communicative, and attentive! I needed help with my pup who was staying with my grandparents who don’t walk well & Nolan was so great about it and the instructions that came with it! Got so many pics of my baby and even sent me a picture of his walk on strava - next time I’m out of town again, he is my first choice!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for cats combined with experience caring for both playful kittens and senior cats with special needs. Having a senior dog with Alzheimer’s myself, I understand the extra care and patience required. I’m skilled at administering liquid medications by mixing them into food, reducing stress for your pet. This means your cat gets not just basic care but compassionate companionship tailored to their unique personality and health needs. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine making sure they get alot of attention and care I keep a clean environment at home, with a fenced backyard for safe play, and there’s a park nearby for dog walking. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while providing attentive and loving care.
