Dog Walkers in Valley Center, CA

“I had a great experience working with Anna! She was fantastic with my dog (a 2 year old Golden Retriever) and made everything so easy. Communication was clear, and she wrote a nice, detailed report with pictures, which I really appreciated reading and knowing what happened. She was also super flexible, helping us out with a last-minute request. Thanks, Anna!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, getting “my” first puppy when I was 16. In 2022, our family began fostering pups through a national rescue. We’ve helped friends who just need a safe place to wait for their forever homes, but we also had medical cases who needed medicine administered, regular vet checks, and a high attention to their condition, health, and wellness. Our family will treat your furbaby as our own, following your specifics for their care, and adding all the love and attention we can! I’m a full-time homeschooling Mama of four who also works from home. Since I’m home a lot and my schedule is flexible, I’m available at all different times and can work with your schedule. Our pets are like our kids, able to run amuck wherever they like! They can snuggle on the couch, cuddle on pet beds throughout the house, and hang out in our backyard. The yard isn’t huge, it’s a woodchip area, but we have a community green space nearby and are up for walks there as well!

“Lety was amazing! She was so patient and kind with my pup who is a bit reactive. She was also very attentive and communicative. She let me know how sofie was doing each time she checked on her and gave her lots of love and cuddles while we were away. Really appreciated her help when we were out of town and will definitely be requesting her for future services. Thank you, Lety!”

“Christina is wonderful! I've never let anyone but family walk my dog but since we've had a baby I needed extra help so we set up recurring weekly walks to make sure Mango has the attention she needs. Mango has arthritis and can be leash aggressive because she was attacked by dogs a while ago so Christina met with us so we could show her how to walk her in a way that keeps her safe. She brought her partner too so that in the event she couldn't walk her, he can help as a backup. Christina always gives us a heads up when she is on the way and arrives on time, communicates well with how Mango did on the walk and brings her back on time. She was very flexible with our schedule changes and we feel so grateful to trust someone else with our precious love. ❤️”

About: Growing up in the country, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahua's to larger, and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit-bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their exercise routines, feeding habits, and personality quirks. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. I have demonstrated and learned all these factors through the San Diego Humane Society and my Dad (dog trainer). Rounded up I have five years of experience with various sizes and breeds, making knowledge, communication, and compassion key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all types of dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior challenged dogs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the animals in my care. As a graduated student, I have the freedom to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I schedule feeding times, walks, and play sessions around my coursework, giving each pet the structure they need while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. Having free weekends also allows me to dedicate more time to pets, who need consistent attention or engagement. I use my time for exercise, mental stimulation, or grooming, depending on the pet’s needs. My focus on time management ensures that pets are always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into my routine. Whether it’s providing a calm and nurturing environment during the week or engaging in more active care on weekends, I ensure that pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, allowing me to meet the needs of every animal I care for. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment that fosters trust and well-being. Safety is my top priority, which includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, removing hazardous items, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses and supervise them closely to protect them from potential dangers like traffic. Building trust with pets is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, creating a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, spending quality time playing, or offering soothing companionship during quiet moments, I ensure they feel valued and cared for. The environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and follow their care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for the pet. Ultimately, my approach combines attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.

About: Working at a dog groomers (Raining Cats and Dogs) taught me a lot about patience, attention to detail, and how to read each pet’s behavior and needs.

Alongside grooming, I've also provided personalized pet sitting services through Nextdoor, building strong bonds with pets and their owners! My main goal is to provide the most professional, compassionate care for your animals! Currently, I am self-employed as a homebase nail technician. This is the reason why I do not provide any at home pet sitting or boarding services. However, on the bright side, I am able to create my own schedule! This helps me accommodate to your personalized routines or needs. I offer dog walking, drop, ins, and pet sitting services. I do not have a preference on height, size, or breed all animals are welcome! I also have experience with cats and more than happy to take care of your cat as well.

In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and never alone for too long. Communication is important to me, so I’m always happy to send updates, photos, and will check in with you if there are any questions so your pet gets the best care possible.
