Pet lovers want to enjoy a great vacation without worrying about your pets (’cause they’re family). If that’s you, then I highly recommend and trust Margaret. She is above conscientious in taking care of our “babies”. She truly enjoys interacting with them, giving them affection, attention, and activities. She’s a sweetie. You and your pets will love her.
We provide top-notch dog walking and pet check-in services to ensure your pet's health and happiness.
We service the greater San Diego area, including the following zip codes and communities:
Lil’ Miss Pets was founded in 2021 with the mission to serve pets and their owners in the greater San Diego area. As a women-owned business, we’ve proudly supported hundreds of pet parents by offering care for their furry companions while they’re away or in need of extra help. Our team of background-checked and insured professionals provides a range of services, from simple pet check-ins to engaging exercise walks, tailored to meet each pet’s unique needs.
Lil Miss Pets’ mission is to treat our employees, clients and all pets like family. Whether you’re at work or on vacation, our goal is to give you peace of mind that your pet is safe, loved and content. The partnership formed between our employees and their pet parents ensures that your pet receives individualized care from someone you trust (and your pet adores!)
The personal touch of our small, dedicated team ensures that you and your pet can develop a lasting, trusting bond with our experienced and compassionate professionals. All of our team members are fully insured employees. This allows us to maintain complete control over our operations and services, ensuring your pet receives the highest quality care.

1.1 The security of your home and the safety of your pet is our number one priority. That is why each of our team members must pass a background check and complete a certification process. Lil Miss Pets is bonded and insured and uses the most up-to-date technology to service our clients. In addition, we have customers and their pets who have been Lil Miss Pets clients for years. Read what they have to say on our testimonials page (link to testimonials page).
1.2 We use lockboxes to securely store your key with a unique access code provided by the pet parent. Lil Miss Pets employees won’t ever hold a copy of your key and you will receive a message via the portal confirming the key has been safely stored back in the lockbox at the end of each visit.

We conduct complimentary Meet & Greets to get to know you and your pet prior to starting services where we have time to connect 1:1 and answer any additional questions you may have.
You will receive a thorough recap via the Time to Pet portal, including all details of the visit and pictures of your pet.
We walk rain or shine; however, your pet’s safety always comes first! During certain weather conditions, our team members will assess and determine if it’s safe for your pet to be outside. For example, if it’s 90 degrees or higher we will conduct quick potty breaks, stay within shaded areas, avoid asphalt to protect your pet’s paws, provide water breaks and remain inside for play time the remainder of the visit. We walk in the rain unless there is a storm, lightning, strong winds or hail. Our team has towel supplies to dry your pet off after the walk.
6.1 We recommend using harnesses and leashes provided by the pet parent. However, if a parent prefers us to bring in our own equipment, that is a complimentary option.
6.2 If we find an accident, we will clean it up to the best of our ability with cleaning supplies provided by the parent. All trash/soiled supplies will be disposed of outside, never inside the house/apartment.
Monday to Sunday, 7 AM to 8 PM
You can book here
9.1 We have a 24-hour cancellation policy. A full charge will apply if services are canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice.
9.2 Why do you charge a cancellation fee? When you book an appointment, that time has been exclusively reserved for you and your pet. We understand that changes occur, and we always do our best to accommodate them. However, we are a small team and last-minute cancellations/schedule changes have a negative impact on our walkers’ planned schedules and our ability to operate effectively while maintaining high-quality service.
Not currently, however, check back as we may offer this service in the future!
Our team members are experienced with all types of breeds, behaviors and conditions, however, we realize each situation is unique. That’s why we conduct a thorough and complimentary Meet & Greet session with you and your pet at the start of our services, asking the right questions to gain a better understanding of your pet’s needs.
12.1 Life threatening emergency: we will contact the vet you provided in your profile, call you on our way and meet you at the vet clinic or animal hospital.
12.2 Sensitive situation (non-emergent): we will contact you to discuss details and align on a plan of action and next steps for your pet/home.
We’d love to hear from you here.
