Dog Walking in San Marcos

About: Cat mom to two rescues for the past 8 years but grew up having all types of dogs (big to small)! My two cats are inside only animals so I love being active with dogs outside such as walks or playing with toys. Looking to help your furry friends get some needed care while you are away. Weekday availability varies with most availability in late afternoon and evening. Weekends are very flexible. I will work with you to accommodate your pets needs. I will provide personal care for your animal(s) based on their needs. I will listen to your requests and be observant of their behaviors. I will ensure requests are met in the safest way possible.

“Emily is a sweet young lady who immediately connected with our dog. She took him on several walks and he loved every one of them. She communicated well with pictures and a route of the walk so you know exactly where they went. We are looking forward to having her also dog sit for us in the future.”

About: Hi my name is Sophia! I'm an active outdoorsy person who also has a soft spot for animals. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all kinds, including those with special healthcare needs. I've trained both of my own dogs and have years of experience dog walking, pet sitting, and managing pets that need special attention and care. And additionally, have managed pups in relation to other coexisting animals/pets and livestock surrounding. Dependent on your pups needs and your desires I am happy with a short stroll or a long walk ( I average about 7 miles with my high energy puppy when I’m back home!) I follow feeding and care instructions closely and always aim to keep your pet safe, loved, and well-exercised. I'm available for dog walking and drop ins! I will alway prioritize your requests regarding your pets and will treat them with love and care as I would with my own! Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I am a full time college student who will be available in the mornings and early afternoons. There’s really no time that’s too early for me! I value you integrity and honesty on both ends and aim to meet your specifications when it comes to your pet, as if I was requesting myself. I truly enjoy spending time with all animals.

“Abigail is absolutely the best! She is reliable and amazing with our pup. You can tell she really cares :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about 8 years now and grew up around animals my whole life. I’ve watched dogs of all sizes and personalities for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playing, and sticking to any routines or special instructions. I really try to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your pets attention and care. The only day of the week I am not available is Tuesdays (class from 1-8PM)! I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I make sure they’re always supervised, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. I follow all instructions closely and can easily accommodate things like crates, medications, or specific routines. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and always make sure pets feel secure, calm, and loved.

About: I’ve had and loved dogs my whole life, so taking care of them feels completely natural to me. Growing up around dogs taught me how to be patient, responsible, and to understand their different personalities and needs. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing outside, or just giving them attention and comfort, I truly enjoy every part of it. I know how important it is to keep dogs happy, safe, and cared for, and I take that seriously. Because of my experience and genuine love for animals, I know I would be a great dog sitter or walker who treats every dog like my own. I’m currently a full time student however I do have a very flexible schedule as most of my classes are online and I am at home most of the time. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special routines or medications. I spend quality time with each pet to make sure they get enough attention and exercise, and I keep their space clean and cozy. I also send updates and photos to the owner so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. My main goal is to make each pet feel at home, whether they’re with me or in their own space.

About: I've been caring for pets for years, beginning with my first dog when I was five. I grew up learning to care for animals and even more when we added a rescue dog to our family. Having a high maintenance dog with behavioral issues has taught me how to adapt and understand how each pet is unique and the care they require varies. I have also had experience caring for several types of animals including cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I am currently a third year at California State University San Marcos and provide care in El Dorado Hills when I am home for long breaks. I have a very open availability when I’m home and would love to fill some time by caring for your pets! I will follow any and all instructions you leave for me. I will make sure to watch your dog at all times, whether I'm letting your dog outside to go to the bathroom or taking them on a walk. Your pet is my priority!

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was five and I volunteered at animal shelters and farms so I can take care of all your pets needs I'm currently study online so I have enough time to make sure and take care I'll be a pet to the fullest I can promise your parents will be safe and protected I take them on Walk every two hours they will be open to walk around the apartment and play with me and other dogs there will only be two or three pets at a time with me

About: Weve both been dog lovers and owners from a young age! We started Rover after we lost the most amazing stubborn silly 12 year old bulldog who was our whole world. She passed in January 2023 and we weren't yet ready for another. We were, however, in much need of some companionship. We boarded and did walks for dogs for about a year and then got our puppy Coda. We took a break to raise her and moved to California. Now we're jumping back in would love to provide your dog with walks or drop ins while you're at work or out for the day. We will treat your dog as our own and ensure pictures are sent consistently!! Marissa works from home and Marc is available afternoons and were both available weekends. Marissa will be going back to the office 1-2 times a week starting in August. Marissa’s schedule is flexible and we can usually work around the dogs normal schedule as best as possible Safety is the utmost importance and I want you to feel comfortable. I take direction from YOU! Let me know what makes you comfortable and I'll make sure to follow your rules!

“My rescue dog is shy and has some confidence issues about new people. Courtney has been amazing at building up her trust and now my dog loves going for walks with her. I highly recommend Courtney for her skills and expertise and understanding of dogs, especially rescues who need a little extra love.”

Elizabeth S.

“Mackenzie is awesome to work with. She's always punctual, easy to communicate with, and provides pics of my dog on the walks. Plus my dog really seems to enjoy going on walks with her. I will definitely keep booking with her in the future.”

About: I have owned a dog for eight years. Before getting him I had done research on dog breeds for many years and because of that, I know about most dog breeds' temperament and exercise needs. Plus, I have some training experience. If you need me to brush or wash your dog, I can also do that with an additional charge. For the most part, my schedule is pretty flexible, especially on the weekdays. If you need serviced for your dog, please message me 3 to 7 days in advance. The sooner the better, that way I can add you to my schedule. If I walk your dog, the dog will be on a leash at all times and I would personally not walk your dog at a dog park because I do not trust surrounding off-leash dogs. If there are not any dogs in the dog park then I may consider taking the dog to the dog park.
