Professional Dog Walking
Walks at your trail or neighborhood of choice tailored to your dog's abilities. I pay special attention to safety, ensuring your dogs are not over-exerted and that they are hydrated properly afterwards. I also spend time with the dog afterwards if they can only do short walks, and ensure they are fully exercised if the weather is not safe for a full walk.
Experienced Animal Care
Hi there! I'm Jess, a pet sitter and dog walker based in North County San Diego. Over the last 12 years, I’ve worked with animals through private in-home pet sitting, doggy daycare facilities, and volunteer adoption events with Labs and More Rescue. I genuinely love what I do and take pride in giving every pet the individual attention they deserve.

I'm mindful of your dog's abilities and make adjustments based on current weather conditions.
I ensure dogs are always hydrated and thoroughly exercised. If the walk is cut short due to the weather, I finish exercising them indoors.
You can rest assured knowing your pets will still get high quality care when you're busy with work, kids, and life.
I have 12+ years of pet sitting experience and a high understanding of animal care and behavior.
Your pet's safety is my priority
I take the San Diego heat very seriously, and I will make sure your dogs do not walk in dangerous weather conditions. Typically, the pavement will overheat past 85°F; if pressing the back of your hand to the pavement for 5-7 seconds is too hot for you, it is also too hot for your dog.
If the weather is too hot for a full walk, I will exercise your pet indoors instead and ensure they are fully enriched and stimulated.
My Process
You can expect a standardized process when working with me to ensure I provide a consistent service and fully cater to your animals' needs.
- 1New Client Form
I begin by sending a short form with onboarding questions about you and your animal so that I can collect all necessary information, including any special medical needs for your animals.
- 2First Meeting
Next, I meet with you and your animals in your home to introduce myself to them for the first time.
- 3Early Check-In
For in-home pet sitting services, I check-in one week before our scheduled service to get a key and reinforce the animals' comfort with my presence in their home.
- 4Scheduled Service
This is where I perform the agreed upon service, keeping your pet company and ensuring that their needs are fully met.
- 5Photo Updates
Especially for in-home services, I will send regular updates with photos to remind you of your cute pet's loving faces.
I think the happiest part of my dog's week is when Jess shows up to walk him
