We've used Little Buddies on a monthly basis for three years and it has always been a good experience. I can't thank them enough for accommodating my last minute needs. A previous company would often decline requests and Sean has always been so relaxed to do business with. Even though he's not our dog walker, he's aware of our needs through the great job Esteban, our Little Buddies walker, performs for us. Our skittish Retriever, Goldie, couldn't be in safer hands. She can be a handful and we work together to keep her improving. They're direct and honest with communication, it's a mutually beneficial relationship. It has to be otherwise I'd go crazy at work. Goldie is our family and I'm so thankful with the service they provide. read more

Little Buddies - Goldie love! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Little Buddies comes with my HIGHEST recommendation!! We have been extremely happy with the services provided by Sean and his team since we began having them walk our dogs in 2022. Sean is very communicative, organized, and knowledgeable and his love for and commitment to the animals he provides care for is obvious. We have never had any issues. The walkers have all been friendly, communicative, and send daily photos and updates of the walks. Our dogs specifically love Monique! One of our dogs is quite anxious but he warmed up to her immediately and they have a great bond. She is always taking them on fun adventures through our neighborhood. If you're looking for superior care for your pets, then I highly recommend Little Buddies!! read more

I cannot say enough about Little Buddies. Not only is Sean a professional and easy to work with, but his staff has been wonderful across the board! The communication is top notch. He accommodates my changes in my work schedule. He has spent extra time guiding me with my senior rescue to make him feel more comfortable in his new home. The entire team was so kind and supportive when I lost my heart dog earlier this year. I could not function without them. Highly recommend! read more

Can't reach the dog walker while on vacation ... owner can't either and he was the original walker ... Hurt his knee and relies on his staff that won't answer texts inquiring about our dogs while in Mexico read more

Above and beyond one of the best small businesses in the area. The care and compassion that every employee has for animals is unrivaled. We have special needs pets who require a lot of attention and we are very particular about who we trust their care with. Little Buddies has been professional and timely in their communication from the start and we are so grateful. I can't say enough good things about Erik, Amanda and Sean! Our pups love you guys and we couldn't get by without your team helping with weekly walks and weekends away! read more

Sean and Esteban are my hero's they have been taking care of my boys for years and recently I was out of the country and my dog sitter had to back out after 3 day and Sean and Esteban came to my rescue and took care of Milo and Pugsley by staying the night and feeding and walking the boys every day till we got home 13 days later. They really saved my life ..... and eased my mind I knew they were being totally taken care of I don't know what I would have done without them read more

Little Buddies - Pugsley - Dog Walkers Near Me

I can't recommend Little Buddies enough! In fact, I've recommended Sean and his company to my friends who have dogs! Sean runs a very professional business and has great communication with clients. We have used Little Buddies several times to take care of our two golden retrievers on overnights while my husband and I are out of town and have always been pleased. Most recently we used Jacqui for a week long trip and she was phenomenal. Jacqui was responsible, knowledgeable about dog care, and super sweet! Jacqui went above and beyond while staying at our home - she sent lots of pictures to us, kept the house spotless, and spent a lot of quality time with our two girls. She treated our dogs like they were her own and that meant the world to us. Fellow dog parents know what I mean. We knew our dogs were in good hands. Little Buddies is fantastic. read more

I have been receiving dog walking services every week for the last 2 years with Esteban. He has been great! He always sends photo updates of my dog Mazie (left) while he is with her. It's always fun to see pictures of her with other dogs and knowing she is having fun while I am at work. Esteban is very reliable and responsible. Would highly recommend using little buddies and Esteban! read more

I used Little Buddies for many years, but sadly I've moved from the area they serve. Sean is such a nice guy, he really cares about pets and is very concerned about his clients. He often used to care for my cat himself, which was great, because he's one of the few people my cat has ever warmed up to. I received photos on vacation of my cat sitting on Sean's lap, which I promise you is nearly impossible! I never had to worry with his team, they were always so careful. Once one of their cat sitters called me to tell me he thought that my cat had escaped because he couldn't find him in the house anywhere. I knew that the cat must just be hiding since he was seen the day before and food was missing from the dish, etc. It was sweet that the cat sitter was so worried, but I talked him down and promised him that the cat must be hiding somewhere inside the house, and sure enough he was. If you're in the North Park, South Park, etc, area and need a pet sitter or dog walker, contact Sean at Little Buddies, they are so nice. read more

I can't recommend Little Buddies Pet Care enough. Sean is a very proactive communicator and I instantly felt at ease about leaving our puppy in the care of his team after just one phone call with him. He gave a me a thorough run down of what to expect and what their protocol is for dog walks etc. We were assigned Michelle and man oh man, she is awesome! Super professional, prompt, and also an excellent communicator! Michelle has been a blessing to our little Maya's life. She works with her, is so patient with her, and genuinely cares for our sweet yellow lab. Seriously, look no further for a pet care service! Little Buddies is the best! read more

Little Buddies - Our sweet Maya girl who is an official "little buddy". - Dog Walkers Near Me

My forever pet sitter and dog walker, Little Buddies is a peace of mind. 5 STARS!!!!! I've been through a few dog walking and pet sitting businesses in San Diego. Cancelling when it's raining, multiple walkers having keys to my home, arriving hours after scheduled visit time, etc. Those are things I am not willing to deal with while at work or on holiday. It is paramount that I trust those going in and out of my home. We had a surprise visitor while on vacation. Sean refused to let him in and while he couldn't get a hold of me, due to the time change in London, he did the next best thing. He alerted neighbors, left lights on and even blocked a few doors in case the guy came back. I have to say that I chat with the neighbors more and we all feel much safer knowing that he has an eye out when visiting. These are people who truly care for your pets and will alert you to anything off, but mostly give you the comfort of knowing they had the best time while you are away. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Little Buddies - My boy on another outing with Little Buddies Pet Care. They're amazing at what they do! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Little Buddies is the absolute best!! Sean, Michelle, and Paige take amazing care of our 2 boys. We have been a client with Little Buddies for 4 years and love it! The booking process is simple and Sean is always quick to respond. They are also extremely accommodating to us and our pups needs. They have a wide range of services from short dog walks (10-15 minutes), to long walks (30min-2hours), to day boarding, and overnight care. Also if your pet has any special needs (i.e. feeding, medications) they are more than happy to include these within the visit. One thing that I love is with each visit they send pictures and text updates. This shows just how much thought and care goes into their business! We trust Little Buddies 100% with our boys and highly recommend them!! read more

I've trusted Little Buddies with my two little buddies (Nella and Sunners) for years. Leslie and Little Buddies will treat your pets as you would treat them, which in my case is spoiled and loved! Both of my dogs are special cases, they are older and both need a multitude of medications. I never had to worry about whether or not they were being given the proper medications at the proper dosage, at the correct time of day. With other kennels and sitters that I had used in the past, I had my pets miss doses. With Leslie watching my girls, I never worried about this happening. She's the best! read more

We came across Little Buddies when looking for an alternative to doggie day care (it's not for everybody). After a quick follow up from Leslie, she and Sean came out for a "meet and greet". They've been incredibly accommodating and an all-around great option for us. Here are 3 things we really love about Little Buddies: 1) Prices and Packages - They are very competitively priced and give you the option for anything from a quick potty break to overnight pet-sitting. 2) Customer Portal - It's very easy to schedule appointments online through their customer portal. It also makes billing/payment a cinch. 3) Updates - We love getting a text and a photo after each walk. It keeps us in the loop and lets us know our pooch is getting cared for. Of course there is so much more we love about them (flexibility, pet CPR certified, insured...). The bottom line is, go with Little Buddies and you will be happy you did! read more

We've been using Little Buddies to take care of our cats for years. Sean and his team are always flexible, professional, and communicative. They take good care of our cats (who are pretty difficult!), and they always text us pictures of the cats when they check in on them, and that gives us peace of mind. I have recommended Little Buddies to anyone who has asked about petsitting --- and all my friends who've used them are happy too. We will continue to use Little Buddies for as long as we need pet sitting services, so probably forever. read more

Little Buddies has been a godsend for us!! We used them once years ago, and since have booked them many times since. Whether we leave town for a few days, or sometimes just one, we can count on them to care for our cats. Michelle has taken such good care of our them. She not only has fed, watered, scooped and played, but pointed out problems and even assured us when we worried about them. Best of all are the great pictures they send when you're away. These go a long way to show how well they're caring for your pets. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Buddies to any pet owner. read more

I used this service for a while, and found that the walkers were excellent. I never got a great feeling from the owner. I ran into him one day and he told me how he had not followed my instructions in walking my dog, and told me my dog was "stubborn" because he liked to stop to sniff a lot on walks, he just seemed to dislike my dog in general (not an issue I've had with other dog walkers or with the daycare my dog has attended for the last 4 years). Since it seemed to be the owner walking my dog most of the time I stopped using the service. Well, I recently saw the owner post on a neighborhood forum about all of the "dangerous pits in San Diego", so now I understand, I guess he has an issue with pitties. Wish he had just been honest. Now I understand why I was sensing his discomfort with my dog. read more

Little Buddies - This guy clearly doesn't love all dogs. - Dog Walkers Near Me

We hired Little Buddies to cat sit while traveling. Unfortunately, they left our cat without access to her litter box for a week. This caused damage to our flooring which little buddies has refused to repair or clean. All in all, we were very disappointed with the service they provided. read more

Sean is my dog walker, he is great and very reliable! I have him walk our dogs midday Monday-Friday since both my husband and I work long hours. I have 2 large dogs who are not so easy to walk. He is always available even last minute. Once I had to go to the ER with my husband and texted him last minute to take them out at night and it was no big deal. He has also picked up my dogs from the vet which is pretty far from where we live. I have noticed my dogs don't bark at other dogs as much as before. He tries to socialize them which is nice. They go on different adventures with him and I get daily updates with pictures of their adventures. We are soon going to go out of town and he will be staying with our dogs at my home which already gives me peace of mind. read more

Little Buddies was a lifesaver on my last visit to Mission Hills. I needed my dog Maggie to stay overnight with a pet sitter. They kept her happy and safe while I attended a business conference. They did a good job following directions for her feeding and walking schedule. I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of her! Now I know who to use and recommend for pet sitting, they by far exceeded my expectations. read more

Little Buddies - Dog Walkers Near Me

I think it's time I share the good vibes. I came across Little buddies about 3 months ago and am extremely happy with their services. In the last year I've moved to mission hills,my baby Frankie passed away , and I've adopted a new dog. So you can see why it was crucial for me to find the best for my girl zoe. Michelle is our walker and we couldn't love her more! She's so patient with Zoe and makes her feel so comfortable. I was worried since she's a rescue she'd have a hard time opening up but with the love and care I and Michelle provide Zoe has never been happier! Literally the only pet service I trust with my girl. PS they even send picture updates read more

I really enjoy working with Chris, my cat sitter and knowing he's the only one caring for my cats. That is so important to me after bad experiences with companies who give strangers access to my home without notice. The bond they've created puts me at ease and gives me one less thing to worry about. They're easy to book with online as well as issuing payments for visits. I don't have any complaints and totally satisfied with Little Buddies. I can't thank them enough read more

Little Buddies does a wonderful job taking care of my very sensitive and high energy pup. I have worked with a few different care providers but have never felt so comfortable leaving my little girl with someone as I do with Leslie. She is professional, attentive, responsive, and most importantly my dog loves being with her. I recommend Leslie and Little Buddies for any pet owners and especially for those of you who want peace of mind that your dog is in the hands of a very capable and very sweet caregiver. Thanks so much for your wonderful service! read more

I have used Little Buddies numerous times to take care of my two cats. As a cat owner herself, I trust Leslie and Little buddies to provide the utmost care when watching over our pets. Not only will she make sure your pets are well fed, she will make sure to spend quality time with them to make sure they have the attention that they are missing from their owners. Thanks Little Buddies! read more

After an incident with a bad cat sitter, I was nervous to try a new service, but the Little Buddies team go above and beyond. They are reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. I have used their services for my cat 4 or 5 times this year and I will continue to use them. They even text pictures and updates, and their prices are affordable. Thanks little buddies! read more

Leslie & Little Buddies have helped us immensely with our new dog, Ozzie. We're not always around as much as we thought we'd be and can get super busy at work, so it's great to have a consistent person in his life that will get him the exercise and the attention he deserves. It's also nice to not have to worry about relying on friends to watch him when we go out of town. Leslie is easy to get a hold of, responsible and great at communicating with us about how Ozzie does in his walks and while we're away. Ozzie is a high-energy dog who needs a lot of exercise, so the Bark in the Park's are perfect not only for his energy levels, but also his socialization issues - Little Buddies does not utilize dog parks. We also save some money by getting the discounted weekly pass. When we hire her for pet sitting, Leslie not only makes us feel at ease about being away from Ozzie, she will do chores at my house that I don't even do. Leslie & Little Buddies have recently moved to San Diego and although we are sad to lose such a great friend in Ozzie's life, we wish her well and highly recommend her to all the Little Buddies in San Diego who are looking for a dog walker or pet sitter! read more

Found Little Buddies here on Yelp.com, Leslie came by and met my dog Sasha. A few days before Leslie was scheduled to meet us I was panicking because I have never trusted anyone but family with my dog. Well Leslie came by and Sasha took to her right away and I felt completely at ease. Leslie will walk her midday and always texts me or sends me pictures which I love. It's great getting pictures of my dog during a busy/ frustrating work day. A few times my work events have run over and Leslie has come by a 2nd time to walk my dog. I highly recommend Leslie and Little Buddies. I know my dog is well cared for and Leslie is always there when I need her to walk Sasha. Glad I found a reliable dog walker. read more

I loved working with Sean and Leslie! Both were very reliable, and they always sent a text or picture when walking Sandy, my terrier mutt. Sean always texted me far in advance if he couldn't make it during the scheduled time. My dog always ran up to him when he arrived. He's also gone above and beyond. For example, he noticed my dog seemed very off one day and alerted me immediately so I could determine if a vet visit was warranted or not. He was very patient with me when I was anxious about her well being. I highly recommend Little Buddies! read more

The best dog walking company ever! We, as in my dog and I, love Sean our dog walker. He takes great care of her and is easy to communicate with. One of the best perks is on holidays when I get pictures of my dog with holiday gear on. Sean is the coolest and nicest. Leslie, the owner is also very easy to communicate with and available for anything I need including advice on my new cat who was attacking my dog. They are easy and awesome and thats just what I need. I highly recommend this company and Sean in particular to anyone in need of their services. read more

I've had multiple pet sitters in the past but Little Buddies' Sean is the best one! He is very dependable, responsive, trustworthy and also in detail.

I'm so glad they are available in my area!! read more

Little Buddies has taken care of my two shelter dogs multiple times, both at my home and at Leslie's house. One of my dogs was abused and is extremely skittish, and really connected with Leslie on an immediate level. Within 30 seconds of being in her home he was curled up on her bed which I took as an excellent sign! Leslie is incredibly responsible in taking care of pets - regular updates through text message and is always available for verbal updates for people like me that like to have those. She is really flexible and willing to accomodate anything necessary to make sure you feel comfortable leaving animals with her. My dogs are really members of our family, and I trust Leslie completely to take care of them. 100% recommend Little Buddies. read more

I've known Sean for a long time, and trust him to take care of my elderly dog (she's 14-1/2). Sean and Rebecca came over for a meet & greet with Sammy, and Rebecca took care of Sammy while I was out of town. She sent me pics and gave me updates, so I'd know that Sammy was well taken care of. Little Buddies did a great job, and I'll be using them again for sure. read more
