Dog Walking San Luis Rey

“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.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them is something I genuinely love!! I previously worked at an emergency and specialty hospital for animals where I gained experience caring for dogs with a wide variety of personalities, needs, and temperaments. That experience taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m comfortable around young, energetic, nervous, shy, senior, and high-maintenance dogs. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or anything that may indicate a pet isn’t feeling like themselves. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them the individual attention they’re used to. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like they’re my own. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re apart. I currently work a part time job at a restaurant in downtown Oceanside and my shifts are only up to 5 hours at a time. So I have a pretty flexible schedule that can be easy to work around! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable and maintain the routine they’re already familiar with. I’ll take the time to learn their normal feeding schedule, walk and potty routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship while making sure they’re safe and comfortable in their own space. I’m also very attentive to changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual, and I’ll keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel reassured while they’re away. I want your pets to feel like they’re spending time with someone they can trust, rather than simply being checked on while you’re gone!

“Kristina is 100% the best dog walker I’ve ever had! My dog LOVES her and he is always nice and tired after walking with her which I really appreciate. She is reliable, timely and I would use her every day if I could! You can definitely trust Kristina with your fur baby, she’s amazing.”

About: Hi, I’m an animal lover originally from Arizona, and I’ve been dog sitting for 5 years. If I could cuddle a tiger, I probably would! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including seniors, and I’m comfortable giving oral medications. I love going on walks, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and cuddles. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own! I also do professional grooming! I added a couple pictures of my work. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles. I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel loved and cared for. Communicating and update pictures throughout the day is key for trust. I like to send an update every 2-3 hours, whether it’s just a quick picture.

“Ren helped us out last minute and was excellent with taking care of our dog Sadie for a midday walk. Looking forward to working with her again! Easy to communicate, punctual and reliable.”

“Yajahyra was awesome! I can't wait to rebook her because she was so kind, patient and attentive to our senior dog. She is the best. Thank you!”

About: My husband has taken care of dogs since he was 5. We adopted a cute bichon in 2022, and he is so friendly and adorable. We want to make him more friends. Please let me know if you need a dog sitter. We are flexible throughout the week and can have at least one of us at home. We have a dog park nearby, and we can walk your dog as much as you love to. We also have a cute doggo at home, and they can play with each other! We have a bichon that lives his best life as we are flexible with working remotely and regularly take him on walks around the parks.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and started helping care for family, friends, and neighbors’ pets when I was around 8 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities—from shy or reactive dogs to dogs that love everyone they meet. I’ve also looked after multiple dogs at the same time and am comfortable handling different energy levels and needs. I’ve cared for cats as well, including both territorial cats and super affectionate ones. I’m comfortable giving medication to cats and dogs and am always willing to learn about the needs of other animals. I genuinely love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. Open to: • Quick walk • Long adventure • A drop-in visit • Overnight care I can usually accommodate a variety of schedules. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of love while you’re away. I always take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide care that feels safe and stress-free for them.

“Amy is AWESOME! She dropped in and walked our boys for the first time and was super communicative and made me feel absolutely confident our boys would be looked after. We have a 6 month old puppy and he seemed quite happy when we got home and she helped with our middle aged dog as well. 10/10 would recommend. She got great photos of our boys and even left a nice card with with treats for them. Above & beyond. Thank you Amy! Can’t wait to book with you again ?”
