Dog Walking Terra Nova

About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.

“Dominique is professional, patient, friendly, and incredibly good at connecting with my Dogo Argentino, Juni, who is a fierce and strong dog. She took the time to build Juni’s confidence by playing with her while also giving her the time and space she needed to feel comfortable and open up. I truly appreciate the patience and care Dominique showed toward Juni. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their beloved pet. We are so grateful to have found her!”

About: Although I have no official skills and training...yet, but I grew up caring for animals. For 18 years I lived on a small farm in Michigan where we raised chickens, rabbits, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. These animals were my beloved pets and would get shown at the county fair every summer. Since moving away I have accumulated three cats of my own. As I continue to figure things out and gain experience I can promise that all pets under my care will be well cared for, loved, and that all owners will receive top notch communication. I have just separated from the Navy and am unable to get another job due to some traveling I have planned over the next couple months. I am free all day pretty much any day! I do not offer sitting or boarding in my home due to my cats not appreciating outsiders, but I am more than happy to go to your house and do whatever is needed!

“Elizabeth was a rock star with my dog. She jumped in on short notice and was kind, responsible, and punctual. She took and sent photos through the app each time showing the walk and feeding after. She clearly had experience handling dogs coming in and I will gladly rely on her again in the future.”

About: Welcome to my page! I have taken care of pets belonging to family members and neighbors, and it's always a very pleasant experience to love on the pets and see them excited and relaxed when I'm with them. Besides taking care of their basic needs, I'll make sure they get all the cuddles they deserve! 🐾 I'm currently a SAHM looking to have some income while enjoying loving on pets. I will use the time I have available while my daughter is in school and/or extra curricular activities. I would like to meet the pets (and the owners) for the first time before booking, to ensure it's a good fit for all, and there's trust between the humans and the fur babies.

About: My family has our own dog Wilbur (see profile pic) who I love to take on walks and runs! I also like to play with him! One of his favorite games is tug of war. I’m a college student on summer break, so my schedule is fairly open. I’m willing to work around your schedule so we can find the time that works best for you! I will make sure your dog is hydrated by offering water during walks. I also like to give Wilbur a treat at the end of our walks, and I’ll do the same for your dog if you like! When checking up on your dog, I will make sure they have enough food, water, and attention.

“Natalie was quick to answer and did so on a short notice. She walked my pup the entire hour and sent pics. Would book her again!”

About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve lived with up to 5 dogs at a time. Now, I am the proud momma of two cats, Zoe and Emma. You can describe me as the millennial whose sole purpose is to provide a full and fun life for my fur babies. At this time, I am a full time student and on my off days I hope to care for and go on walks with your fur babies. I plan my responsibilities ahead of time, so my calendar will be updated regularly to give you the most updated availability. I am always aware and present during my time with pets. I will prioritize their safety and well-being. I would love to have meet and greets where you tell me all about your specific concerns and we can talk about how I can help ease those concerns!

“Great , amazing I would book again and recommend”

About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, so I've always been surrounded by animals and love being around them. I enjoy spending time with pets, whether that means taking them on walks, playing with them, or just giving them company while you're away. I've cared for both medium-sized and small dogs, and I know every pet has their own personality. My goal is always to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for, just like they would at home. I'm currently on summer break, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk your dog. I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine and make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I really enjoy being outside and spending time with animals, so dog walking is something I genuinely look forward to. I know every pet has their own routine, so I always make it a priority to follow the owner's instructions and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether I'm picking up your dog for a walk or bringing them back, I'll always keep their safety in mind by making sure they're securely leashed and paying attention to the surroundings. I know it's a huge responsibility leaving your dog with another but I'll always treat them with care, respect, and the attention they deserve.

“Citlalic has been amazing. She works really well with my reactive dog, responds to my messages promptly, follows all directions and is flexible with my schedule. Highly recommend her 👍”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have enjoyed caring for pets my whole life. I had my sweet girl Stella, a pug, for 13 years. I crate, potty, and recall trained her as a puppy, fed her a balanced diet of vitamins and homemade food throughout her life, and gave her loving, gentle care in her senior hospice years. I’ve also cared for my mom’s boxer for a year and even taught her, her favorite trick… tossing a treat up with her nose and catching it! I’ve looked after my friends’ pets as well, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, senior dogs, birds (parrot), a chameleon, and special mentioned of a disabled Frenchie who needed a little extra help to go potty. I make friends with any neighborhood kitties when they let me. Usually just takes a bit of chicken or turkey. Lol I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can work around almost any animals needs. I work Amazon Flex so I set my own hours and only do 1-2 hr shifts (sometimes multiple times a day). If I leave the house, I am gone for a max of 3-4 hrs or less depending on where I’m delivering to. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that giving their family peace of mind makes leaving them just a little bit easier.

“Arantxa is always amazing with my Stevie. She’s always worn out and happy by the time she returns home and I can rely on Arantxa to keep my dog safe and happy. I love the little updates provided as well.”

About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter for some friends and clients over the years, and I love dogs! But don’t have one of my own so I have decided to go pro! Hehe. I love walking and hiking if your dog needs exercise, plus I just enjoy giving snuggles and scratches. Happy to reinforce any training you’re doing with your pups- or just come over and play with them. I’m available for dog walks every day before 11:30 and cat/dog/etc sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed, am/pm since I am self employed. Im a massage therapist & work in mission valley, so it’s very central and I can block time as needed to go visit and care for your pets or walk your dogs. My 17 year old Bengalish-tabby is in/out cat- and I have a big fenced in yard. I feed my animals twice a day and give lots of verbal affirmation and physical affection, if they like cuddles we’re gonna be friends.

“Semran is wonderful with my three doggies, she takes her time and has even helped with my rescue dog that came from a hoarding situation. I highly recommend her.”

About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.

“Tori was enthusiastic, communicative, and followed the instructions I left for her. She took pictures and sent an update on her visit with my dog. Thanks Tori!”
