Dog Walkers in Solana Beach, CA

“Grace has been walking my two hyper and (sometimes) reactive dogs on hour long walks 1x per week. She’s been great with them, and they both warmed up to her so quickly! Grace is always prompt with communicating and her schedule timing. We will definitely be continuing to work with Grace and I’d recommend her to others, too. Thank you, Grace!”

“Barbara did an awesome job walking polar opposite dogs-Chai a 14 year old, slow as molasses, in late stages of Heart Failure, and Penny, a high energy 2 year old. Barbara was attentive to their needs and honored all my requests. I felt instantly at ease upon meeting her and will definitely use Barabara again!”

About: I've taken care of aggressive dogs, dogs with special medical needs, and everything in between. I am reliable, communicative, and I love being with animals. As a teacher, I get summer vacations, so I have a free schedule to devote to petsitting. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, for short or long periods. I have experience taking care older dogs, and I'm also comfortable around dogs with behavioral problems. In every case, I'm attentive to the animal's needs.

About: Growing up I was the kid knocking on every neighbor’s door to walk their dog. My parents eventually me a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy. A big, strong-willed breed that taught me a lot about patience and understanding a dog on their own terms. My family has had multiple dogs since, and I volunteer at local shelters whenever I can. Shelter work especially has given me a lot of experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all backgrounds, including shy and fearful dogs who need extra patience to build trust, seniors who need gentle and attentive care, and dogs with aggression who just need someone calm and consistent. I know how to read a dog’s body language, respect their boundaries, and help them feel safe in an unfamiliar situation. On top of that, I’m the first person everyone calls when they need help with their animals — friends, family, neighbors — and I’ve cared for a huge variety of breeds and personalities over the years. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, which means your pet gets my genuine time and attention. I’m available for services throughout the week, with only occasional short windows away a couple of times a week that never exceed about 3-4 hours. Unless there’s a special event, you can count on me being available and ready to give your pup the love and care they deserve! I live in a spacious condo in Solana Beach with a fenced outside deck and real grass potty pads that are always accessible, so your pup can go whenever they need to. I maintain a clean, pet-proofed, and calm environment where your pet can truly relax. I always keep dogs leashed in public, never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations, and stay fully attentive to their needs and body language throughout the day. I’ll send regular photo and video updates throughout the day, because I know how much it means to see your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away.

“Great communication and flexibility! Our dog loves her and was so excited to see her again after a few months. We would trust and recommend Naruemon to anyone!”

About: I’m a college student with multiple years of experience working with and caring for dogs. I have fostered over 30 dogs in 5 years and can confidently handle any dog for any duration. I have two rescue dogs of my own and I am very confident caring for any breed or age. I am currently working part-time, so communication will be best for easy scheduling! I am flexible to work with schedules that are needed for pet-sitting. I am very organized and equipped to handle any house or animal care needs. I am a responsible house sitter and willing to accommodate any needs.

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs taught me early how to care for pets with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for my friends whenever they go out of town, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to match their energy and routines. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or more laid-back and shy, I’ve got them covered! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to be reliable and consistent, so you can count on me to stick to your pet’s routine. I’m also happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines and walk preferences to any special needs or behaviors. I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended longer than agreed. I stay attentive during walks and in the home to keep your pet safe at all times. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: Hi I’m Rachel! You can feel at ease knowing that I am pampering your fur-baby to their hearts content. I have cared for animals my entire life, from horses to birds to puppies. I love to keep the pups mentally and physically stimulated whether it be food puzzles or beach days at fiesta island. I have attended dog training classes with my own dogs in the past, so I will apply what I have learned as I care for yours if you would like me to. I work from home, so the dog-walking breaks are just as refreshing for me as they are for your pup! Plus my schedule is very flexible. I have a Pomsky named Mochi who is a little over two years old. He is incredibly social, so if your dog is social as well it’s a great way for them both to burn some energy! I won’t introduce them unless you specifically ask me to though. Feel free to ask me any additional questions :)

“Jacob, has a heart of gold. My 2 Jack Russell’s, don’t like anyone except family members, yet are so comfortable with him. He sends me updates and they are evidently having a great time.”

I do anything ranging from stopping by to feed and play, long walks, short walks, all the way to daycare and overnight boarding I do have a part time job, but it’s only certain days per week, and I live with my parents, and my mom works from home and also loves dogs, meaning she can take care when I am at work. I love to go on walks and go to the beach and love to take furry friends along with me. I dont have a fenced yard, but I have a fenced balcony area that most dogs love to hangout on. I don’t have a crate that I can provide, but my house is 3 stories and I can constrict your pet to one floor of needed

About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.

“Highly recommend Donna! My older dog just loves her. She has calming energy and is patient. Great communicator and takes special care of my pup. Grateful she became our weekly dog walker!”
