Chau was amazing with our elderly pup. She was super communicative and easy to coordinate with, and obviously knows her stuff when it comes to dogs. We have already booked with her again!

Ashley was a lifesaver for our last-minute daycare needs. She kindly accepted on short notice, and when we picked Teddy up, he seemed as comfortable as if he’d been with family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Definitely a 5-star sitter!

Leigh was amazing! I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I was worried about getting a dog sitter for Pierre, particularly out of town, but it was phenomenal. She made the entire experience completely stress-free. She gave frequent updates and my sweet boy really enjoyed spending time with her.

About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog. I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!

My dog and I met with Shane and Chris for a meet-and-greet before I booked them for a day. They were so nice and genuine during both the initial visit and the day-of daycare that i was put immediately at ease for leaving them with my senior dog. I got to see their backyard (so spacious!), and I knew that Ghibli would love sunbathing there and be his lazy self. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️‍🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈‍⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available. (I understand sometimes things happen last minute and you need a trustworthy person to step in and care for your pet).

Camille was amazing. She took our booking last minute and was super flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times. She was so genuinely eager to hang with my dog and thanked me for trusting her with my pet. She provided pictures, videos, and details regarding bathroom breaks, water, walks, etc. and she made sure to let me know that my nervous, elderly pup was very comfortable and at ease during her stay. 11/10 recommend. Ty so much Camille!

Michelle is awesome! I had to book my feisty 6-year old chihuahua mix Scout with her for a couple days while they did fire alarm testing in my apt complex. From the jump, she was kind, communicative, and understanding as traffic put me a little behind schedule dropping him off. Both days, she updated me with awesome pictures of Scout enjoying himself at her place, and playing with her dog Bella. She took amazing care of him. Will definitely be booking again.

If you’re in the downtown area are looking for somebody in the downtown area. Cara was really good. She was able to take care of Samara my dog very well making sure she took her on walks very periodically. More than other sitters that I have experienced. She will make your dog feel like one of hers while keeping you updated throughout the day. Cara provided pictures and text update's if you’re looking for a sitter, Cara is perfect.

Came into town for a mini staycation but wanted to watch a baseball game and needed a dog sitter. I reached out to Jerry & Silky and they were the perfect fit. First time booking for a dog sitter too!! I dropped off a happy dog and picked up a happy dog. She was cuddled and went on a walk. I enjoyed all the photos too to show it!
