Dog Walking In South Park

“Lisa was awesome. So friendly with lots of love for my little Bichon. They walked the neighborhood, each day with a different walk. I would highly recommend Lisa for your dog sitting needs.”

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a husky and has since fostered dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently live in South Park, right between Golden Hill, North Park, and Balboa Park, making it easy for me to take your pup on enriching walks through some of San Diego’s best dog friendly neighborhoods. Because I regularly foster, I have extensive experience with: • High energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between • Puppies • Medical fosters: including administering oral meds, topical treatments, and basic care instructions My priority is always your dog’s comfort and happiness. Whether your pup needs structure, slow introductions, extra cuddles, or a calm environment, I take the time to understand their routine so they feel safe while you’re away. I provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pup will be treated like family here. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced sitter or walker in South Park / North Park / Golden Hill, I’d love to help care for your dog! I look forward to meeting your pup! I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent attention and care. On my days off, I love being outdoors and frequently walk around my South Park neighborhood, so your dog will get lots of fresh air, movement, and enrichment. I’m available throughout the day to keep your pup’s routine on track and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and fully cared for from morning to night. I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I make sure every pup is walked on a consistent schedule, fed according to their routine, and given plenty of playtime and affection. Because I foster regularly, I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities and energy levels, from high-energy dogs who need lots of activity to shy or slow to warm up pups who need patience and gentle structure. I also prioritize mental stimulation throughout the day through enrichment activities, sniff walks, puzzle toys, and training games to keep your dog engaged and happy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your dog’s routine closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

“Julio is great with my dogs! My border Collie puppy is nervous around new people. Julio was very gentle and patient with him. I appreciate Julio's calm demeanor and his commitment to learn about the dogs he walks, especially their behaviors and routines. He has good communication and feedback. Overall will definitely be booking again with Julio for dog walks!”

I have been dog/cat sitting for my friends and family for over 15 years and I am very excited to meet more furry friends to add to my life. I am excited to meet you and your beloved pet! I currently work from home full time and am able to accommodate your pets needs. I can take them on potty breaks as needed and on a walk before , mid day and after work. I am open to your pets needs and energy level. I can accommodate your needs for your dog. If you want them crated, I can do that. I can do special diets and rigid feeding times. You tell me what you want and we can make it happen.

“Kalista was so sweet with our pup! She made time to do a meet and greet on short notice and quickly won over Indie. We are so grateful and will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: Cared for my own, and friends pets, and raised two puppy litters. Large yard, lots of toys, and love to give to your furry friends. Working part-time so I have plenty of extra time to do visits or walks. Flexible times depending on weather, whatever is best for the pets Large fenced yard, experience with big or "aggressive" breeds all sizes and breeds welcomed. DOG LOVER so they're in good hands. Patient with all pets.

About: Lifelong dog lover, full-time remote worker, and proud human to two four-legged “office managers” named Lola (a Lab) and Lily (a Shepherd/Malinois mix). They supervise my every move, especially if snacks are involved. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I treat every pup like one of my own…which means lots of love, couch privileges, and yes, they’re absolutely welcome to hog the bed if that’s their thing. I even spent six months abroad dog-sitting my cousin’s two Labs (including a senior pup) while he was deployed, so I’ve got experience with all ages and energy levels. Around here, we do daily walks, plenty of playtime, and the occasional Starbucks run—pup cups included. If your dog likes cuddles, belly rubs, or binge-watching TV on the couch, they’re gonna fit in real well around here. I'm lucky enough to work from home with my two adorable furry companions, Lily and Lola! With my husband on deployment, I have plenty of time to spend with my furry friends, and I'd be thrilled to welcome your fur baby into our little pack! If your furry friend is used to having someone around for most, if not all, of the day, then I’m the perfect fit! I’m the type of dog owner who feels guilty leaving them alone, so they usually join me on most errands. After all, who doesn’t love the sight of floppy ears enjoying the fresh air with the windows down? I have both a front and back yard that are fenced in, providing plenty of space for them to romp around. My dogs have the freedom to move about the house. Since I live in a small home, I often keep the front door open so my pups can sit outside and bask in the sun during the day. Always supervised, I only call them in when a package is being delivered. At a minimum, your fur baby would join me, Lily and Lola for two hot dawg walks a day, more than likely to Starbucks and 28th Street Park to touch grass (more for me than it is for them).

About: I have 15 years of caring for pets of my own and well over 10 years of sitting for neighbors and friends pets. I have experience with dogs (of all sizes), cats, and pocket pets of all ages. I even have experience caring for elderly pets and those that require medication. Education background in animal care (Bachelor's in Animal Science and Associate’s in Animal Care and Training). I work part-time for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. I usually work early mornings and late evening shifts a few days a week. I have a flexible schedule and readily available most mid-days. Through my personal experience and education background I understand how to handle animals safely and confidently. While also ensuring your pets comfort. I understand leash safety and feel comfortable walking dogs of various sizes.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and caring for animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets at all times. I have a fenced yard and always pay close attention during walks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets are comfortable and secure. I also understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each owner’s routine and instructions.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for multiple pets, including helping with feeding routines, walks, play, medications when needed, and creating a calm, safe environment for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important consistency and trust are when someone is leaving their pet in another person’s care. My schedule is very flexible since I work and attend school online from home. That allows me to be present with pets throughout the day and provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with a secure enclosed yard and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I currently have a friendly cat and create a safe, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed.

About: Hi! I’m Madelyn 😊 I’m a reliable, loving sitter based in Golden Hill! While I don’t have a backyard, I do have a secure, gated balcony where your pup can safely relax, sunbathe, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day ☀️ I also live in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood with nearby parks and dog parks for pups who are dog-friendly and enjoy getting out and exploring. Your dog will get lots of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. I love incorporating walks, playtime, and calm, cozy downtime so they feel safe and at home. Outside of pet care, I’m a therapist — which means I’m naturally attentive, patient, and nurturing.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable dog sitter/walker with 3 years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, including caring for a nervous and timid dog. I know how to build trust, stay calm, and make dogs feel safe and comfortable. With my military experience, I bring strong responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I only work with dogs and welcome all sizes. I also prefer a meet-and-greet before booking to understand your dog’s needs and make sure it’s the perfect fit. I’m open to discussing pricing outside of Rover due to platform fees, so we can find something fair for both sides. Looking forward to caring for your pup like my own! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting with flexible hours (I work 8:00 AM–12:00 PM), and I’m very accommodating to different schedules your pet may need to ensure consistent and reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine closely to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, medication, and any specific care instructions. I provide calm, attentive care and respect each dog’s personality, especially those who are shy or timid. I also keep the home clean and secure while treating it with respect. I do not offer in-home boarding, as I have a timid dog of my own and prefer to keep a low-stress environment for all pets.
