Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Allied Gardens, San Diego

“johnathan stopped in for a drop-in visit to meet and greet our two English cream golden retrievers, which he will be sitting for in July for six days. Johnson something seemed like a genuine soul and a dog loving person. I appreciate it Johnathan for his punctuality and his calm demeanor and his willingness to let the dogs adapt to him slowly. Our older dog took to him right away And will be the role model for our youngest one he handled it exceptionally well and I appreciate his calm demeanor and kind of words. I think the dogs will be very happy with Johnathan as their sitter for six nights. I’m not sure that we ourselves. The parents will be OK because we’ve never left them that long Actually were nervous. The desk would be sending us pictures and updates twice today and that is very appreciated. Thank you, Donna.”

“Thanks so much to Genevieve for dropping in to feed and play with Bert on my last minute request, she was able to follow my instructions perfectly and sent me lovely photos and videos of Bert letting me know he was happy, healthy, and looked after. Will definitely be calling on her to drop in again if I need it.”

“Sara was fantastic! It was the first time I’ve used Rover, and I’m glad that I found her profile. She was great with my dogs, spent time with them, gave them lots of treats and cuddles, and made sure they were well taken care of. I don’t like leaving my dogs, but when I do I will definitely use her again.”

About: New to Rover! I grew up with and around dogs! From pet sitting for friends & family, taking care of my families fur babies, to now having my own dog! I love all dogs and being outside whether it’s to go on walks, play at the park or even just playing in the house! I’m currently on summer schedule and available any day of the week except Fridays! My schedule is super flexible, so I’m happy to work around your needs—just let me know what works best! I have grown up taking care of many dogs from many sizes to ages, and currently taking care of my own sweet husky now. I am very trusting and loving to all animals, as well as capable of entertaining, cleaning up after and giving lots of attention and love to your sweet dogs!

“Sharlet took great care of the dogs! She let me book her with short notice and did an excellent job. She stayed longer than necessary just to play with the dogs and give them some love. When I came home they were so happy.”

“Rebecca was an amazing sitter! She cared for my cat so kindly and even left him a Christmas present at the end of her time. It was so nice knowing he was being cared for so well while I traveled for the holidays <3”

“This is my second time using Audrey’s pet sitting services. She is so sweet, friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. Both times I’ve used her have been for a stressful situation and she has eased my worries both times about the care of our family cats. She is amazing!”

About: I provide dependable, loving care for both cats and dogs—always tailored to their unique personalities and routines. I’ve trained multiple dogs who became service animals, so I bring patience, structure, and positive reinforcement to every interaction. I also understand and respect the independence of cats, offering a calm presence, clean litter boxes, and gentle companionship (with plenty of pets—if they want them!). Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, quiet company, or a consistent routine, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pet care. I love being outdoors, going for walks, and enjoy having animals as part of our daily routine. Caring for pets is also a great way for me to teach my kids responsibility, patience, and compassion for animals. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, or playtime, your pet will get consistent attention and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific walking instructions—to help them feel secure and maintain consistency. I also take time to build trust with each animal, moving at their pace and always using positive reinforcement. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and rabbits. Growing up I had three dogs and a cat. Now I have 2 cats and care for 2 dogs(: I have always loved all animals! I will give your animals the love they deserve! I currently work full time during the week but will be available for let-outs during the week and in-home pet sitting on the weekend! (: I will care for your pet in your home however he/she feels most comfortable and safe. While also keeping him/her entertained, relaxed, and happy. (:

“Melanee was absolutely delightful! (direct quote from the fur babies ;)) Being the person that I am, I was scrabbling last minute to find a sitter to watch my loves over the 4th of july weekend and boy did Melanee come through!! Her prompt replies made me feel comfortable showing that she truly cared - and her wanting to meet them prior ensured me she is genuinely interested in their well-being. I'm big on first impressions and Melanee instantly gave off a warm and loving vibe that my animals took to right away. (and my old man cat is a hard one to please) She checked in daily and sent pictures. She even went so far as to replace my nasty litter scooper!! (it broke :() NO complaints from my fur babies, all love. Overall, trusting Melanee to care for the most important beings in my life, was a great experience. :) I can relax and look forward to future getaways/trips knowing I have one less thing to stress about when Melanee is a phone call away. :) Take a vacation (you need it) and book with Melanee - thank me later! :) :) :)”

About: I cared for my own dog for 10+ years before he passed and have experience dog-sitting for friends and family (both short and long term.) I love staying active, making me a great match for pups who need plenty of exercise and attention. I also have a car that I don’t mind getting dirty, so I can provide transportation if necessary! My schedule is very open right now, I am in the process of getting a part time job but even then I would still have plenty of time in my day to spend with some pups! In my own home, I have a fenced in backyard with a dog door so any pup would have free access to the backyard if needed. I also live right around the corner from a large park where a pup would be free to run around and explore to their hearts content!

About: Hi! I’m Maria, a lifelong dog lover and experienced caregiver. I’ve raised two dogs in the past—a mixed-breed rescue and a bullmastiff—so I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes and personalities. Since moving to San Diego, I’ve been helping care for Rusty, my cousin’s dog. He’s a playful and sweet boy, and we have the best time going on walks, playing fetch, and just relaxing together. I also have a 10-year-old daughter who loves dogs and enjoys their company, but rest assured, I am the primary caregiver and all pet care activities are fully supervised by me. Over the years, I’ve also cared for senior dogs and those with medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and following special feeding or walking routines. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and treat every dog like family. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood and love being outside. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles while you’re away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to see if we’re a good match! I work part-time as a professional braider and usually take no more than two clients a day. That gives me plenty of time to care for your dog — whether it’s going for a walk, playing outside, or just keeping them company at home. My schedule is flexible, especially on weekdays, and I’ll make sure your pup gets lots of attention and love. We live in a pet-friendly apartment complex in San Diego, with plenty of green space and a nearby trail that’s perfect for walks. It’s a calm, safe environment where your dog can feel at ease. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully — whether it’s about feeding times, special diets, walking routines, or medication. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and routine are my top priorities.

“Courtney was the most caring and attentive cat sitter we’ve ever had. Her detailed messages each day were always thorough and gave us peace of mind that our cat was happy and in great hands. She truly went above and beyond with every aspect of the visit and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

About: I have been caring for my own and family members’ pets ever since my early childhood. This includes walking, feeding, bathing, playing, etc. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including dogs with limited vision and mobility. I often pet and house sit for friends, as well as provide drop in and done drop in visits to feed and walk their dogs. I also volunteer with Frosted Faces Foundation, a senior dog rescue in Ramona, CA. I am trustworthy, friendly, caring and professional in every job that I take on. I am respectful of both client and pets needs, wishes, and boundaries. I am also very detail oriented and communicative, so you will always know exactly how my services went when I care for your pet(s). I have a pretty routine schedule with work and grad school, so I will be able to account for that when accepting bookings for your dog. I will wake early in the morning to walk, play with, and feed your dog. If I have to leave for work or class, I will make sure they have access to water and stimulating activities/toys if you feel they would benefit from it. My home is set up to make your dog feel as comfortable and happy as can be. They’ll have access to roam around the apartment, a set spot for food and water, comfy beds, and can even sleep in bed with me if they so desire. I can also crate your dog whenever needed.
