Hi, I'm Luisa
I started GUAUWAF because I wanted the dogs of La Jolla cared for the way I'd want my own to be: as individuals. I take the time to learn each dog's routine and preferences, and I shape every visit around who they are — their energy, their habits and the things they enjoy.
Some dogs love a brisk walk and a game of fetch; others would rather take their time, sniff everything and keep things calm. I follow their lead, and I follow your instructions. Most of my walks are one-on-one, and I never pair your dog with another without asking you first.
I'm also patient and gentle with dogs who are a little nervous or sensitive — it's part of knowing each dog, not the whole story. We always start with a free, no-obligation meet-and-greet, so I can get to know your dog's routines and rules before the first visit.
The photos on this site are my own — real dogs I care for. You'll get photos and a personal update every time, so you always know how their visit went. I speak English and Spanish, and I'd love to meet you both.

60-Minute Walk
