D's K-9 Cardio Team

Hi, I’m Heather! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets throughout my life and love dog walking because it combines exercise, fresh air, and time with furry friends. I take pride in being reliable, compassionate, and attentive—making sure every walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to each pet’s unique personality.

Hi, I’m Nyssa! I’m 25 and a proud pet parent to a sweet 4-year-old orange tabby and a playful 2-year-old golden doodle. Since joining D’s K-9 Cardio, spending time with dogs has become one of the highlights of my day. I work full time, but I choose to spend my extra time with animals because I truly love them. I enjoy staying active, so getting outside with dogs is a perfect fit. I treat every pup I walk as if they were my own. Whether it’s giving them exercise, playtime, or just extra love while you’re away, I make sure each dog feels happy and cared for.

Hi there! My name is Gina. I have been walking dogs and petsitting all kinds of animals for over 2 years. I currently work at La Costa Glen helping seniors and their fur babies. My goal is to ensure a safe and happy walk/visit every time. Look forward to meeting you and your furbaby!
Fun fact about me I used to work for Sesame Street. I played the role of Cookie Monster 💙

Hi! I'm Natalie, and I'm thrilled to be joining the D's K-9 Cardio team. My love for dogs runs deep, fueled by years of experience with my dogs – my Golden Retriever, Jack, and my late Lab, Sam. I'm passionate about canine happiness, fitness and well-being, and I'm so excited to combine that with my role here. Can't wait to help other dogs thrive!

Hi, my name is Brooke! Over the last four years, I’ve been involved in cheerleading — including two years as a captain — as well as running hurdles for track for the past three years. I love being active, spending time outside, and enjoying fresh air and sunshine. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and a true passion of mine since I was little. Not only did we always have many family pets at home, but you could also usually find me at the stables riding and caring for horses. I have a big heart, love giving animals plenty of TLC, and would love the opportunity to help with any of your pet care needs!

Hi, I’m Riley! I’ve always had so much love for animals!! I’m definitely the type of person who will stop to say hi to your pup walking by. I grew up with pit bulls, so they’ll always have a special place in my heart :) I’m passionate about making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved when you can’t be there with them! Animals have always been a huge source of comfort for me, so I hope they feel just as comfortable with me too!

Hi! My name is Tania and dog hair is my glitter! I’m a single Mama with a 10-year-old daughter and 12-year-old Pittie rescue. I grew up in a household where the answer to—can we keep it?!—was nearly always yes! So, I’ve been lucky enough to care for animals my entire life. As a dog mom, I understand how important it is for our babies to feel safe and secure, especially when we’re away. And I will always treat your fur babies like family and shower them with love and kindness. I am comfortable administering medications and injections, and am fortunate to have a career that allows me a lot of flexibility, so I can be available when needed. In my free time you will usually find me hiking, camping, traveling, exploring our beautiful city, or simply lazing on the beach! I look forward to getting to know you and your pets!

I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently care for four of my own, three cats and one dog, so I truly understand the love and attention pets need. I enjoy studying psychology and reading, and I spend a lot of my free time at the dog park with my pup. I’ve been pet sitting for about four years, starting with neighbors and gradually expanding to care for more families and their pets.
