Dog Walking San Pedro

About: I have taken care of dogs for 8 years now personally for friends, family and myself! I have a chihuahua/ shitzu mix who is 6 years old that I have raised since 7 weeks old and he is the best. I am currently a stay at home mom/wife ..so I will have plenty time to give needed attention to the doggies and nice play time as well. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, have potty breaks and enjoy the outdoors. My apartment community also has a dog park, plenty of grassy areas, and a walking trail, providing lots of opportunities for exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and exploration. I make sure every dog gets the activity, attention, and care they need while staying in a safe, comfortable environment.

About: Hi! I’m Candace, a lifelong animal lover and devoted pet parent. I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior rescues. With a lifetime of experience in pet-sitting, house-sitting, and loving dogs like my own, I truly get animals on a deep level. My own pup of 8 years (a sweet rescue!) has taught me so much about compassion, patience, and the magic of building trust. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I am a full-time pet caregiver with open availability, allowing me to give your pet the attention and consistency they deserve. I have years of experience caring for animals and have been around pets my entire life. I offer walks, drop-in visits, in-home care, and boarding. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that means active outings, structured routines, or gentle companionship. After recently losing my own dog, I deeply understand the bond we share with our pets and treat every animal in my care like family. I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to care for your pet in your home so they can stay in their familiar environment and routine. I’m very respectful of your space and make sure everything is kept clean and peaceful. If your pet stays with me, they’ll be in a cozy, calm, pet-friendly home where they’ll get lots of love, attention, and a comfortable place to rest. I really tune into each animal’s personality and needs, whether they’re playful, sensitive, or just want a calm presence. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

About: Treat your cat as though you would a dog! Treat your dog as though you would a cat. Give it structure. Give it attention. Give it affection. Give it routine. I will learn your pet's patterns of behavior and help make their time without you very enjoyable. I am an author that is currently working on a book, so I have a lot of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention and affection they need! It is all about building trust with both dogs and cats. I will take the time to get to know your pets and win their hearts and minds!

About: I grew up with dogs most of my life and have house sat for many friends. I’m a recent former veterinary assistant with 6 years of clinical and hospital experience. I understand dog and cat behavior and have studied under amazing veterinarians, so I feel confident I can treat your pet with the utmost care and consideration. I can give medications depending on the pet’s temperament but will do my best. :)

About: I grew up with a dog in the house, and have also become a cat mom! I am more than happy to provide your pet with love and care while you are away. No dog too big or too small for me! My schedule is fairly flexible and fluctuates so I am usually available when most people are at work, which hopefully is ideal for you! I love being outdoors and surrounding myself in nature. I would be more than happy to have your pet with me for a walk and picnic in the park.

About: I have taken care of dogs professionally for 10 years and unofficially for most of my life. I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. It is therapeutic for me and the dogs to have time together in a symbiotic relationship. I can handle 2 dogs at a time regardless of their size or weight. I enjoy spending time with animals. I work mostly evenings at my other job so morning or afternoons are generally better. However evenings do sometimes work.. I play with dogs and cats with toys. Also, I give them a lot of love and attention. I enjoy cuddling and petting animals regularly.

“Thank you Shelbie for being so understanding when it comes to senior dogs. She walked my 3 pups with different needs with no problems at all. Will use again!😃”

“Traci was very loving with my dog and my dog wanted to leave with her when she was dropped off, so that says it all! Traci kept me in the loop, was very professional and most of all, obviously an animal lover. I would definitely hire Traci again!”

About: I have grown up with pets all my life. I learned at a young age the responsibility and passion it takes to properly care for an animal. I understand that pets are truly a part of the family and I treat all animals with love and respect. I have cared for multiple dogs and cats that were my own and also for friends and family. Anyone that you ask can attest that I am the biggest animal lover! I am a full time entrepreneur/artist, so my schedule is very flexible! I am able to step away from my work to check on your pet as needed or pick up my laptop to care for your pet in their own space. I am available Monday-Friday with a flexible schedule and occasional Saturday and Sundays. Since I am self-employed, I am able to come to your home to care for your pet at any time of the day for as long as your pet needs! Depending on your pet's needs, I can be as attentive or as quick as you like. Working from home allows me to consistently check in on your pet and meet all of their physical and emotional needs. I love and care for all dogs I come across, so every breed is welcomed with open arms!

About: Owners will love the care I provide because I'm very loving and respectful of needs/wants. I'm very caring for animals as they need our help as much as possible. I love all kinds of animals. My care experience is based on learning from watching, reading online, or learning on my own experience how to proceed in careful matters. I've learned very risky situations on my dogs that I had in the past that I was not comfortable with but I managed to take risks. So I can say I'm a bit of a risk taker as well, But a safe only if you want me to do. Nothing is done without concerning the owner. These are a bit of what I can do for my dog and try with any other pet. I can bathe, clip nails, comb hair, and come up with tricks with treats granted. Availability comes great with me because I'm home with my fur baby of my own. I'm home throughout the day/night unless I'm doing homework, photography, or at the gym to better myself; Which I love too. This is great as well if you're looking to better your pet well being. So being available is my most accurate thing about me and it works for any working hours of dog owners. My special skills are loving, playing with dogs, and keeping them happy always while spoiling them with my love or treats. haha. I also love to take photoshoots with my fur baby as I'm trying to own my business one day. I love teaching tricks, spending time walking with them, or just hanging out. I'm here for dogs. Dog lover is my passion. If I could own many dogs I would. I'm those extra helping hands. I am here for you! I can take them to play, walk, feed them, and potty/poop. I also can be there for your fur baby on weekends if you like to go out somewhere and have no worries. I'm here for you. I make sure your fur baby is happy, worry-free, and calm and stays to your commands/rules. I give love and accept lovable kisses and messes. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I know what it takes. I can do any service that you want and try my best to succeed with focus and helping needs until you return to your favorite companion.

About: I have experience giving medications (pills, liquids, ear/eye drops) as well as experience with senior and small dogs especially. Senior care is my strength but I love dogs of all ages. I work from home part time and am home all day Friday-Monday. There are no children or pets in the home so I am able to provide my undivided attention. Your dog will be inside my home most of the day as I do not have a yard. I do however have a large park/lake across the street that I frequent that is great for walks.

About: We live in a very dog friendly and safe neighborhood. I’m experienced in taking care of special needs dogs as well as non-special needs. If your pup is on a special diet, I have no problem weighing food. As well as administer any meds. I’m currently available to play, walk and take care of your pup. I can take your pup out to go potty every 2-4 hours. Taking care of pups needs is my first priority. I do ask that your dog(s) and cat(s) be current on flea medication and their vaccinations, just to safe as we go for walks around the neighborhood and/or parks.

About: I have a special places in my heart for animals and can’t wait to share that love with your pets! I have always adopted my own dogs from the animal shelter and have experience with all types of temperament’s. I am also an avid runner with my own dogs and happy to take yours for a run as well if a walk isn’t enough for their energy needs. Since we can’t adopt any more dogs into our family at the moment, I joined Rover as a way to have more dogs in my life! I work full time from home but have a pretty flexible schedule to take my lunch break at any time during the day depending on when your pet needs me. While I will only be providing outside the home services, I always make sure to treat people’s homes as I would my home. I make sure to leave it better than I found it and alert the client if I noticed anything that needed their attention immediately.

About: I have had the pleasure of helping friends and family with their pets since I was a young girl. I've always loved furry friends, children too, & I recently had a fur baby of my own who taught me how to groom her and love her as my very own first puppy. I loved baking her little home-made treats, and making her dinners from scratch! Unfortunately, I had to return her to her original family as my living situation and job security has been undergoing major reconstruction the last couple years. I work in music and am now a mama to a baby boy! SAHM since I am EBF, so all support helps my family. I am currently looking for a full-time job as a nanny, so until then, my schedule is totally open! I love taking pets to play outside with me any day of the week! I love cuddles and making your fur baby feel comfortable and happy. I will be glad to update you with pictures, as needed, and I am a great communicator who will be sure to ask you questions regarding your little (or big!) one if any arise, so we can assure they are happy and healthy while they are under my care.

About: I've been a cat and dog owner my whole life and have been pet-sitting for friends and family for over 20 years. I have experience with cats (including kittens and seniors), dogs (including puppies and seniors), rodents, and a little experience with ferrets. I try to adapt to your pet's mood and "social" preference, so I can be calm and comforting or high-energy as needed. I travel frequently as a freelance sailor and photographer, but when I am here in San Pedro, my schedule is wide open. Because pet-sitting is my only occupation when I'm in town, I'm able to make your pets my priority with zero corporate distractions. I am available anytime from 9am to 5pm for consistent daily midday walks, flexible check-ins, and short-notice bookings. Since I live right here locally and have my own reliable vehicle, I can adapt to your pet's routine seamlessly. I try to keep to your pet's routine and your standard of care-giving as much as possible. Every animal has a unique personality, and I completely adapt my style to match exactly what they need on any given day. If you have a high-energy puppy who needs a brisk, fast-paced walk around town to burn off steam, I am ready to move. If your pet is older, shy, or prefers gentle companionship, I am more than happy to focus on slow sniffs, belly rubs, and quiet cuddles. I treat your home with total respect, leave everything exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed updates and photos after every single visit.

About: I’ve been around and caring for animals since I was a kid, including my own pets as well as pets belonging to friends, family, and others. I have experience pet sitting, walking dogs, feeding, playing, and providing everyday care. Throughout my life I have lived with over 25 different animals with all different ages, needs, and personalities. With that, I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has their own routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have just recently graduated collage and am in the process of looking for further work and internships in my field, so, for the most part, I have a very flexible and free schedule. I have plenty of time for pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and can plan visits around their usual feeding, walking, and care schedule. Of course, I do need to know dates and responsibilities a few days in advance, but I am happy to work around your needs! I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone else’s pet and home. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets secure on walks and during visits, and pay attention to their behavior and comfort level. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and any space they need. I also respect each home and always leave everything clean and secure.

About: I have loved animals my whole life what sets me apart from other is I treat any animals like it’s my own, I have empathy on how they feel and just how I want others to treat my pets with love and compassion I’ll do the same in return with my experience and love I have for our animals. Im only part time during the weekends in the morning Im available Monday through Friday and Some Sundays as well I really want to make what I love the most into my daily routine which is animals :) I check to see if they any water I always provide snacks it’s also a nice temperature I’ll always make sure any animal is well hydrated, protected and feel loved in my space
