Margaret Owner/Founder

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from San Diego State University and went on to receive my teaching credentials. I spent several years teaching in the San Diego Unified School District before transitioning into a career as a trainer in the customer service field. My passion for animals led me to merge my customer service expertise with my love for animals. Animals have always brought joy to my life, and I can’t imagine a day without my furry companions by my side. I approach every pet I meet with patience, compassion, and dedication, drawing from years of experience in the pet industry.

Bianca

Hi, I’m Bianca! I have loved and cared for pets since childhood! I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages and breeds as well as Guinea pigs! I adore animals of all kinds and have a special place in my heart for senior pets and misunderstood breeds. I love working with animals because of their innate authenticity and ability to ground you in the present.

Charlie

Hi, I’m Charlie! Growing up, I was fortunate to be around all kinds of amazing animals, and I’ve developed a deep love for every one I meet. I’m beyond excited to meet even more sweet fur babies! I’ve cared for many different animals and have a few of my own. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy, and I can’t wait to meet many more in the future!

Trevor

Hello! My name is Trevor, and I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals since I was a kid, from leopard geckos and turtles to our furry friends! There’s nothing more rewarding than taking the time to truly get to know each animal and forming a unique bond with them. It’s been such a joy to meet and care for so many of your wonderful companions here in San Diego, and I’m excited to continue building those connections!

FAQ

Read what they have to say on our testimonials page (link to testimonials page).

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.
