Dog Walking in San Marcos

About: My calm, caring disposition is felt by all animals I’ve cared for over the past 20 years. I have experience with providing quality enrichment, administering medication, grooming, walking, and good old scratchies and snuggles. I’d love to take care of your pet and ease your mind while away from home. I have a flexible schedule and can provide services throughout the day as needed. Routines and schedules for your pet can be kept and followed even when you’re away. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety is my top priority. Any specific requests are carefully followed. Pet-led, pet-centered care is my specialty to ensure your time away is worry free.

“Kayla was great walking my dog for a week! Communication was great and she was flexible with my schedule. My dog who is typically anxious around new people loved her right away!”

About: I’ve always had pet care and training come instinctively to me. I use walking dogs as a way for my personal means of exercising as well as for the dog. Anything from a casual walk to a 30 minute jog! I recently lost my dog so I enjoy meeting others. If you want someone to walk your dog more than just around the block, I’d love to establish something regular! I do not have a dog of my own right now so my schedule is flexible. If you have a dog, I’d be more than happy to go for a run with it or long walk if they were interested. I’m very adaptable to everyone’s situation. I can stick to your normal schedule in your home as best as I can. I won’t ever leave your house with it looking any different than how you left it.

“Her services were amazing and caring. Kept us communicated timely. We would love to use her service in the future and highly recommend as well. My dog, Yaga, loves Victoria!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and connection with animals. I offer personalized care, making sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe. I provide regular updates, so you can feel at ease while you're away, and I tailor my services to meet the specific needs of each pet, whether it's playtime, cuddles, or special routines. Your pets are treated like family! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine! I prioritize it by scheduling dedicated time each day to interact with and care for the pets I sit. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles, I make sure to keep a flexible schedule to meet each pet's needs. Throughout the week, I plan activities that keep pets engaged, active, and happy, while also maintaining consistency with feeding, cleaning, and any special care routines they require. **Client's Home Visits:** When I visit pets in their own home, I make sure to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I stick to their normal schedule as much as possible, including feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. My goal is to ensure that both your pets and your home are well cared for while you're away. I send updates and photos to keep you connected with your pet’s day.

“I love Alexa! She's very professional. She did a home visit before taking my job, and she always sends the cutest pics when she's done walking my dogs! I can't recommend her enough!”

About: I have taken care of so many animals since I was around 8 years old, whether I was caring for a neighbors dog, or a family friends cat, it has always brought me so much joy to be able to care for animals. I am currently working a part-time job, so it works very well in my schedule to be able to check on your fur babies multiple times a day! Even when I have school I will be able to stop by in the middle of the day to check in on your animals if needed. It is very easy for me to be around animals as I love them very much and I have so any animals of my own. It is very easy for me to feed, walk, and accommodate to the needs of an animal, whether that means by giving them medicine, or making specials meals for them. I am always up for the task at hand!

“Bethany has been amazing with my puppy Lenny this week. He is comfortable with her and he looks super happy in the photos from their walks. She expresses how much she enjoys spending time with him. super happy they have a good walking relationship.”

About: I have many years of pet care experience. From taking care of my pets over the years to volunteering at humane societies to fostering puppies and kittens to working at boarding facilities, I have all kinds of experience in pet care. I am comfortable with senior animals, puppies, kittens, administering medication, going on long walks, large dogs, and multiple animals. I’d love to assist you in anyway I can- I would love to be your pet’s source of comfort while their family is away! I have open availability this summer and can fit your pet’s needs into my schedule very easily. My schedule is very flexible and can be moved based on each day. I will listen closely to how the client talks about their routine with their pets. When pet’s families are away it can be very stressful. So not only living in the pet(s) but sticking to that routine can be a huge source of comfort to them- a sense of normalcy. I will also use principles I use in my own home- cleanliness, responsibility, safety, and thoughtfulness. I will treat your home with the utmost respect because that is the kind of person I am.

About: As a fur baby owner and lover myself, most of my life, I can take up almost any task you need done! I can do basics, bathing(no prof. experience w/ grooming), can also apply/give simple treatments/care on pet, if needed. I love cats and would LOVE to care for any, but am unable to care for one in MY own home :(. Currently a student at TXST pursuing a Wildlife Biology degree! I absolutely love caring for pets of all kinds! I want all the experience I can get for my dream jobs involving animal care! I am also working a part time job, I usually work from 8am-2pm M-W but that may change so just let me know in advance so I can check my schedule! I’m willing to accept really early requests but please let me know in advance! Also accept late requests as well! In your home, I respect your privacy and belongings and pets as I would like people to do for me. I have a small to medium sized pup who is very shy, friendly, and loves all pups! My apartment is very small, but there is a fenced dog park on the property to play in!

“Paige is great! Responsive, prompt, and great with the pups!”

About: I’d set myself apart by focusing on personalized care and attention. Here’s what would make me stand out: Reliable & Attentive: I’d follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable. Experience with Different Needs: Whether it’s energetic puppies needing training reinforcement or senior dogs requiring extra care, I’d tailor my approach. Enrichment & Play: I wouldn’t just watch pets—I’d engage them with games, walks, and mental stimulation. Strong Communication: Regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners feel at ease. Calm & Patient Approach: Especially helpful for anxious or rescue pets. Basic Training Reinforcement: If the owner is working on commands or house manners, I’d help maintain consistency. While going to school full time, I have opening hours pretty much all day. It aligns with my schedule at anytime of the day, while I am going to school. My approach is depending on whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. In My Home Provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with space to play and rest. Follow feeding schedules and dietary needs. Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. Supervise interactions with other pets (if any). Maintain a clean and comfortable space for them. In a Client’s Home Follow the owner’s routine to keep the pet comfortable. Feed, water, and administer any necessary medication. Take dogs for walks and provide playtime. Clean up after them (litter boxes, accidents, etc.). Provide companionship to reduce stress from their owner’s absence. Send updates and pictures to the owner.
