Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Co-founders Kristen Watkins and Justine Matthews created Dog Wild San Diego to bring their experience as professional zookeepers out of the zoo and into the dog park. Their deep understanding of animal behavior allows them to offer their clients a higher-level of dog walking – one based on helping each dog express their unique personality in a safe and structured environment. From poodles and pugs to heelers and hounds – inside the chest of every loving dog beats the heart of a wolf looking to reconnect with its wild side. Dog Wild San Diego is here to help them find it. Former zookeepers Kristen and Justine created Dog Wild to offer dog owners an alternative to the current trend towards national dog-walking services and apps. One that focuses on professional-level animal care and a more specialized approach to dog walking built on a foundation of animal behavior science and husbandry experience. Their unique background in zoology, conservation, rescue, and rehabilitation taught them that a dog walk is much more than exercise; it's a chance for canines to engage their senses, perform their dog-specific behaviors while decreasing anxiety and stress. That's the Dog Wild difference: trained professionals who help turn an ordinary walk into a chance for your dog to walk on its wild side.

I have never seen anyone as good with dogs as Kristen. She is seriously a dog whisperer, with a heart of gold.

I was super nervous about trusting anyone with my pup. Kristen put my nerves at ease. She’s so knowledgeable about animal behavior I found myself wanting to hire her to train Penny, not just walk her. Can’t say enough good things. Dog Wild is the best. Can’t rexommend enough.

I absolutely ADORE Dog Wild San Diego, their mission, and their attention to each dog and their personalities. I highly recommend their service for anyone with a dog who wants not only a professional, but someone who truly cares about each individual pet as if they were one of their own. Love these guys <3 !
