Dog Walking West University Heights

About: Hi there! My name’s Katherine and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover. I was recently laid off from my corporate 9-5 job and while I search for a new role, I’m looking for an enjoyable side gig. I live in an apartment complex in North Park close to Balboa Park, downtown North Park and plenty of dog parks. While I don’t own pets of my own, I am excited about the opportunity to interact with your fur baby! I’ve been dog sitting and dog walking for family and friends for years and I also am an active volunteer for the San Diego Humane Society’s Dog Day Out program. Feel free to reach out anytime! :) I’m currently searching for a new job after I was affected by my company layoffs so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. It would help to schedule about a week out just to account for potential job interviews and/or networking calls. Your pets’ safety is the most important and I aim to create a stress free and safe experience. Depending on your dog’s needs, I can cater length of walks and activity intensity levels.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats and other pets for 10 years , and I grew up in a home full of animals, so being around pets has always come naturally to me. I genuinely love spending time with animals, understanding their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also enjoy helping people when they need an extra hand, especially when it comes to something as important as their pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to connect with animals of all ages. I’m especially good with young pets who need guidance and consistency, as well as senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and small details to make sure each pet gets personalized care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, which helps them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a part-time college student looking to earn extra income while doing something I genuinely love like caring for pets! With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable and attentive care that helps keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making their day brighter through walks, playtime, and companionship. I am also dedicated to providing you with comfort and reassurance, knowing your pets are receiving attentive and loving care. I’m happy to arrange visits that fit your needs, including walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I’d love the opportunity to support you and your pets! Your pets' safety and happiness are my top priority! | provide walks, baths, feeding, and plenty of playtime, and I'm happy to help with household tasks. I also love sending updates and photos/ messages to you, so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time.

“The best walker ever! My dog is so happy and excited when he comes home. I even used her for boarding. Jasmine was great at keeping me updated on his stay with her and sending pictures that showed me how he was doing. I can't say enough nice things about her. She's very friendly and easy to talk to also very informative on what is going on with my dog. I tell all my friends about her 😁.”

Bodie is always well cared for and safe in her hands. Bella sends great pictures and updates from their walks and adventures.”

“Highly recommended! Bebo is very responsive and great with our Goldendoodle Link. Bebo checked to make sure we made it home safely so that Link wouldn’t be alone if we were delayed.”

“Every dog loves enthusiastic playmates. Phillip fits the description. He is consistently professional, friendly, helpful and always right on time. I need to feel that my older dog is safe when going out walking in our neighborhood, the city. Phillip "brings it", when he comes to see Colette...she feels at home with him and Phillip leaves the pictures to prove it. :-).”

About: Experienced dog owner and walker with a passion for keeping pups happy, active, and engaged! I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and personalities, including reactive dogs. Every walk includes plenty of exercise, positive reinforcement, and, when appropriate, a little training and play to keep your pup mentally and physically enriched. I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own and make sure they come home happy, tired, and well cared for. *if you request I walk your puppy, you will need to provide documentation of their complete vaccination record.* With a flexible schedule, I’m available for dog walks throughout the day, with the most availability in the afternoons and evenings. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with your dog’s routine whenever possible. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. Before every walk, I make sure they’re properly fitted with and secured in whatever equipment you use—whether that’s a harness, flat collar, martingale, prong collar, or e-collar—so we can head out safely and confidently.

“Kayla was responsive, timely, and caring when walking our dog!! She is 100% trustworthy. Definitely recommend her for caring for your furry family members 😊”

About: I have taken care of many different animals, dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles. I am very clean and careful. I spend intentional time with the animals and love on them as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time as a nanny, some days I don’t work at all and on those days I have lots of time to take care of your fur babies! I will spend lots of time with your babies. I will take them on walks, bathe them if necessary, give them their food, and spend lots of quality time with them. I will care for them as my own.

“Eily was very friendly, kind, and professional. Last year, I traveled 125 days out of the year. I didn't realize how hard it would be to find good help for my pup - I figured it'd be easier to find affordable solutions in San Diego. Very thankful to have Eily to help set a new travel standard. It really takes a lot of stress off. She was replied to my inquiry quickly (half of my requests never get answered) and was communicative while I was gone.”

About: I am a full-time Housesitter and have done 15+ 5 star sits ( both short and long-term stays) using a different site. I am 25 years old and I’m still “ figuring it out” in life so house sitting has been my biggest blessing! I truly love everything about the exchange and have always been a huge animal lover. I was an also nanny for many years and took on many of the typical housesitting responsibilities at that time as well ( Cleaning, taking care of animals, keeping the plants alive, etc). If it’s a good fit, i'm excited to watch your fur baby! I will absolutely treat them like they are my own🤍 I have an online business and an every so often pop up jewelry booth so my hours are very flexible and are on my own time so I’m able to help out, for the most part, whenever! Your fur baby is always going to be taken care of with me. I always double check to make sure everything on the list you set out was taken care of. My OCD is a superpower in this arena!
