Dog Walking San Marcos

“Rachel was super nice! She even came to do a meet and greet with Bandit a couple of days before coming by to take him on his midday walk. She was on time and sent us photos.”

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

“We had a great experience with Dana. She was very communicative, kept us updated regularly, and was always on time for visits. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog, Sierra, in her care, which gave me real peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker!”

About: Easy going and adaptable dog walker with experience! Animal lover and grad student wanting to work on the side! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently a full time graduate student which consists of a pretty busy schedule during the week but leaves the weekends very open. Also, on breaks, usually consisting of 4-6 weeks at a time, my schedule is wide open to accommodate a variety of dog walking needs. I have a fenced backyard with a moderate amount of space to run around. When dog sitting or walking, I always try to be aware and alert during social situations and pay attention to the needs of your dog while making sure they can get their energy out!

About: I have personal experience caring for two dogs, including one who lived to be 16 years old, so I understand the patience and attention senior dogs may need. I also regularly dog-sit for relatives and have cared for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time to give pets attention and care. I have reliable transportation and am available on weekdays after 10 a.m. I have a secure fenced yard and a small-to-medium crate available if needed. My neighborhood is quiet and comfortable for walks, with several dog-friendly parks nearby for exercise and playtime.

“This was our first time having Veronica walk our three dogs separately. She followed our clear instructions for each dog and was able to put a clear cone back on one of your dogs. She responded promptly to our messages and did a great job taking pictures and providing updates for each dog. We recommend using Veronica for your dog-walking needs.”

“It was such a relief to know that I could rely on Mark for my pup while I was away. I will most definitely use him again should the need arise.”

Peg M.

“Heather has been a rock star, super communicative and helps us out in a bind or just on our regular walks. I know my dog is getting quality walks and she always reports when there's anything we need to watch or for.”

Amanda K.

“Adriana is so wonderful! She does a great job with what’s needed and she did great at reading my dog’s body language during the walks. I highly recommend using her services! I definitely will continue to do so :)”

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 am new to Rover but not new to pet or house sitting in general. I have sat dogs and cats while family and friends have gone on extended vacations. I am fully background checked (teacher by trade). I love to go on walks and am great with consistency/expectations if your dog is in a training program. I am a teacher who is off for the summer with no vacation plans! I can dedicate a lot of time to checking on your cat or taking care of your dog. Dogs will have the run of the downstairs and opportunities for backyard play during the day but will be expected to stay crated/in pen at night. Feedings happen on the schedule you provide and dogs will get at least two walks a day. Doggos will be treated like they belong in my house. If interested in drop ins for cat care, I will play with your cat, provide pets and head scritches, check on food and water, and remove litter box waste. It is important to me that your pets feel safe and that their routine isn’t disrupted too much. So a meet and greet for us to both feel comfortable about your pet’s care is a must!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many different breeds for the last 8-10 years. I love dogs and currently have one 8 month old shepherd rescue that I have been (mostly) independently training at home as well as 2 cats- one whom is 6 years that I adopted when she was only 8 weeks and another that was a stray that my husband & I took in. All our animals are very loved and having them be a part of our lives has been our favorite adventure together 🥰 I am working at a school this year & going back around mid August but during this summer I will be available to check in/walk your dogs throughout the week because I know a busy workday can be stressful when you have your pets at home that would love attention & fun. Whatever your scheduling need is, I would love to discuss how I can be that best fit for you & your fur babies! Since I already have my dog to walk 2-3 times a day, I would love to be able to bring your dog along with us! My trailer park has a private park and is along an easy accessible trail so I can definitely bring your dog here or wherever you prefer we go! I am close by San Marcos and have taken my dog to Bradley Park and Discovery Lake so we would love to bring your fur babies along too!

About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and my own. I have two cats and have cared for my boyfriend's two cats for about a year, as well as a friend's cat for another year. I am also comfortable caring for dogs and enjoy spending time with pets of different personalities and energy levels. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at the clients home. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or simply having someone keep them company, I will make sure they receive the care and attention they need while you are away. I know every pet has a different routine, and I am very detail oriented, so I will always take the time to follow your instructions and help them feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can spend quality time with your pets. My goal is to treat every pet like they are my own and provide reliable, loving care. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can work around your pet's normal routine to make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away. I've always loved animals and know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them. I take the time to learn each pet's routine and personality so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I have two cats, a bearded dragon, and a frog, so caring for animals is a part of my everyday life. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, keep your home clean and respected, and send plenty of updates and photos so you know they're happy and doing well.

“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.”

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.

“Jill has been great with my 3 dogs. My youngest dog, Marley, was a little stand-offish at first. Jill was patient and was able to take him on his walks. They all enjoy getting out with Jill. She is responsive, flexible, and professional. I highly recommend Jill to take care of and walk your pets.”
