“Bernice was able to come very last minute and accommodate a walk with my girl stella! Stella was tired after her walk and got along well with my sweet girl! Will def keep her as a regular :)”

“I had such a great experience! She was incredibly friendly and immediately made my dog feel comfortable. I really appreciated how mindful she was of Luna’s allergies and even brought treats that were safe for her to enjoy. Even on a rainy day, Luna came back clean and not muddy at all, which I was so thankful for. She was punctual, attentive, and Luna genuinely seems to gravitate toward her. Highly recommend!”


About: I’m patient, attentive, and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, senior pets, and dogs that need extra care or calm energy. I’m very observant of behavior changes and always prioritize safety, comfort, and communication with pet parents. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and attentive. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow instructions, keep pets supervised, secure doors and leashes, and ensure their routines are respected. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, organized, and focused on maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress.

About: I would love to have the opportunity to care for your dog when you need a pet sitter. I take dog sitting seriously and provide loving care, attention and supervision for your pet. They will stay on their feeding schedule as close as possible and enjoy walks, play and interaction while in my care. I have obtained certifications in Canine Care and Handling and Therapy and Service Dog Team Skills from Yavapai College in Prescott, AZ. I continue to learn and expand my knowledge of the canine species that I love so much. I have worked and interacted with dogs for many years through rescue organizations and animal shelters. I am active with dogs and enjoy training, trail walks and hikes with my own dogs. I will treat your beloved pet as if it were my own. You can have peace of mind that your pet will be well taken care of while in my care. I am trained in canine CPR and have experience with senior dogs as well. Dogs must be house trained and current on vaccines. I am home full time. I have a routine for the morning and evening feeding time. Then we play and exercise. I find most dogs are ready for a morning nap by then. I have a secure fenced yard for the dogs safety. Crates can be used, however it’s always best if the dog has been crate trained.

“My dogs love Claudia! She does our walks while I'm out of town to help out my husband and has also stayed to house sit. She is the best! Always communicates and sends lots of pics. We love Claudia!”

About: I have 10 years combined working with kittens and doggies. I’ve trained cats, but also dog walked and pet sit for 1 year. Happy to help! I’m available full-time to care for all fur babies both cats and dogs. It is my passion and happy to help many fur parents in San Diego. I take care of pets from the safety of their own home, by first doing a meet n greet so I can make sure we are a good fit, then I make sure to follow all directions from there fur parents. For dog walking and drop-ins, I make sure areas are secured before coming into their space and taking them out.
“Vanessa is great with my 9month old dog and my dog adores her. I have never seen my dog warm up to someone so quickly. I can tell that she genuinely has a huge heart for dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.
About: I have 7 years of experience taking care of my dogs while my parents are away. I can walk them and dog sit. I am shy and quiet. I look out for your dogs and take them on a walk during the morning. My experience is to love and care for the ones on my hours. If you are looking for a daycare or walk, I am here. You do not have to worry about your dog. Pictures and videos every 2 hours will be sent to you and send a check-up message on how they are. I am a full-time student, taking care of your dogs in the week and weekends are my number one priority. I will have an eye on them as if they were my little sibling or cousin. I have a fenced yard with stuffed toys and food provided for your wonderful and loving dogs. All areas are open for potty breaks and fun.
About: I have always helped out with neighbors and family’s pet care needs as I have had pets my whole life- mostly cats- who have dealt with diseases like FIP and after dealing with the at home medical care needed, I feel the hands on care has taught me a lot about pets in general. I love being around my animals and other animals. I started volunteering at pet shelters in high school. I am more than comfortable with the basic care needs for cats or dogs- or other pets even! I am available most morning/afternoons for pet care! I work in a restaurant most nights but i’m very flexible. I also work retail at Fashion Valley but both jobs offer a flexible schedule. I keep things calm, clean, and safe when caring for pets in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s routine and instructions closely and make sure they’re always comfortable. I’m mindful about doors, leashes, and their surroundings, and I keep their space tidy and stress free.
“Vanessa is absolutely amazing. She is extremely accommodating and has not once said no to helping me out even if it’s a few hours before. She takes the best care of my puppy Lucy and always goes above and beyond for her walks as well as sending me the cutest pictures during. I highly recommend her to anyone nearby!!!!”

“I hired Catherine to walk my dog for two weeks. I was extremely satisfied with this experience. From the beginning Catherine demonstrated exceptional responsibility and took charge with confidence. This immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated with adorable pics and cute messages showing what a great time my dog had. This thoughtful communication made me feel connected and knew he was in good hands. Catherine is reliable and caring and I highly recommend her.”

Natalia is an amazing woman that cared for my two dogs with love and respect!! Her communication was extraordinary. I asked for her services after seeing her patience and care for my neighbors dogs when they were away. We met and she was a perfect choice. My wife and I never worried while we were gone on my current trip. We highly recommend Natalia to anyone and we will be asking for her support in the future.

Katherine was communicative, reliable, and went the extra mile. I could tell by the walk video that Raya was happy and felt very comfortable with her. She even let us know it was really windy and made sure everything in our yard was secure. Katherine is also just one of those good humans that you know is treating your dog with love and care. We won’t hesitate to use her again.

Ashli is amazing!! She went far and above in all areas that make the person caring for your fur baby great. Always on time, super prompt and responsive communication, flexible with scheduling ..and she is our pibbles new best friend. 😍 I could not more highly recommend her if I tried too. Thx Ashli!!!
I am so grateful to Monique, she did such a great job helping to take care of our Yoyo while we were out of town. My dog is not always easy but took right to Monique. She kept me updated and sent me photos. Especially when you are out of town it is so important to know someone is taking such good care of your pet. I will definitely be reaching out to Monique again and appreciate her so much.
Highly recommend. Daniella was exceptional from the meet and greet to each drop in visit and walk. She arrived on time, was professional and kind, and my dog connected with her right away. She followed every instruction and gave the visit and walk just the right amount of attention and care. It’s clear she takes pride in taking care of others pups, and Rogue loved her, which made the whole experience seamless and reassuring. Will certainly be requesting again when needed.
