    “Dogs are my kind of people!”
    I have over 20 years of experience owning, caring for and training many dog breeds. I graduated with a BS in Zoology because working with animals has always been a passion of mine. My previous work as a Veterinary Assistant, and current Veterinary Technician school attendance, gives me the insight required to properly care for and respect each dog’s individual needs. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, so I am thrilled to have a job that gives me the opportunity to make them smile everyday.

    “I’ve trained military dogs & I’m here to help!”

Whether you want someone to just walk your dog, get them some exercise, or just give them some love while you’re away, I’ll be more than happy to help out and make sure your dog is taken care of the best I can!

    “Full time pet professional w a large secure yard! ”
    Hi! I grew up with five cats and always loved dogs too, so I spent my teen years as a volunteer trainer at my local shelter and have been working with pets since! My dog, Bella, is the sweetest shepherd mix and her two kitty siblings, April and Simba, are also super friendly with dog guests. Ive been providing full-time pet care since 2019 and would love to provide reliable care and peace of mind that your pet will be taken care of like they were my own!

    “I Love to Run or walk w/your young to elderly pups”
    I'm fun and friendly. I'm always available for any last minute walks when you need it most! Or maybe a daily consistent schedule! I love to walk our furry friends around when you're unable to or when they need a breath of fresh air. Rain or shine! I'm always up for making a new friend and giving them lots of love!

    “Wag walker, trainer and a fan of all dogs!”
    Paying it Forward, and Loving It! Why do I do this? When I was working I was never able to find "that" walker/sitter for my anxious, high energy dog that would make me feel completely relaxed. I would always have moments wondering if she was getting enough love, enough exercise, enough attention. As a "Pay it Forward" for the incredible joy my dog gave me, I decided to become the pet walker/sitter/volunteer that I always wished I had found for my sweet Kiwi. I have two primary goals in my pet sitting/walking business: first is to exercise, spoil, relax and bring happiness to pets so that they feel safe and loved, second is to allow you enjoy your time away from your pet with the complete certainty that your very special family member is safe, happy, and very loved.

    “Our pets are priceless.”
    I’m Phil, and I have a passion for working with animals. I worked at Rancho Coastal Humane Society (Encinitas, CA) for the past 5 years, working as a kennel mate directly with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also raised several dogs myself. I respect the personal nature of relationships that people can develop with their pups. I understand that dogs are special, and that they are beloved family members. It is a privilege to be given the opportunity to watch over & care for your loved ones.

    “Mars Saves Dogs ”
    Thank you for stopping by! 🐕🐶 My name is Markus, also known as Mars Saves Dogs. I treat every dog as my own! Using empathy and positive reinforcement as my main tactics, I ensure trust, love, and thus, a loyal bond. As a Certified Animal Behaviorist, I implement science-based methods in my care for every dog. Safety is a priority and I make sure your dog stays happy while in my care or during training sessions. I believe in using force-free practices for training and handling any animal. Creating a strong bond and communication with your dog is key. My knowledge and understanding date back to early 2005. I've continuously studied and developed new approaches to care for and train animals. In my spare time, I give back to several local rescues and shelters in San Diego County. My experience comes from both inside facilities and in the privacy of clients' homes. I have a wealth of knowledge and look forward to sharing and teaching good manners and handling techniques for canines. Observing your dog and understanding their perspective is key to speaking their "love language." Always lead with love. I look forward to meeting your pup! Mars Saves Dogs Markus
