“Chau was so helpful with our two dogs and very patient with our anxious one. She was so communicative and updated us with pictures multiple times a day. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“Alexandra was OUTSTANDING. Excellent communication, on time, reliable, and so kind to my new rescue. I had several people decline taking my new 1 yr old rescue but Alexandra came to my rescue! I will for sure be using her service again. She was so patient and gentle. Her own pups look so happy, that tells you a lot. And my pup was so happy to see Alexandra and her pups daily for daycare. Thank you!!!”
“Isabella is incredibly caring and responsive. She kept us updated with messages and photos of our dog throughout the stay, which made us feel relaxed and at ease. I especially appreciated that we didn’t even have to ask! We’ll definitely use her daycare service again when we’re in San Diego. Highly recommended!”
“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!
“Zaira was amazing with our dog during the three days we needed daytime care while we were out. She was excellent with communication from the very beginning and very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. We did a brief meet-and-greet session first, and after that Zaira took our Labrador in without any issues. She also has her own dog, Malik (she’s a sweetheart!), and they got along really well, so we had no worries at all. Over the three days, Zaira took great care of our dog, shared pictures regularly, and kept us posted, which gave us complete peace of mind. If you’re visiting San Diego and need a reliable and caring place to leave your pup, Zaira is someone you can trust without hesitation. Highly recommended!”
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.

“Camille was amazing with my mini dachshund puppy! She was super flexible with my long work hours and change of schedule. Sent pictures and updates throughout the day and an hour by hour note of everything they did at daycare that day 🥺 she spent so much time playing with him and taking him on walks even during her work day, I know he felt loved!”
“Would recommend Samantha to anyone! Does an amazing job with my mini dachshund puppy, sends frequent pictures and updates throughout the day and I know my pup is in good hands 💕”
“Incredible care! I was traveling to town for school and she was not only available at the last minute, but very responsive and communicative. Very good with my girl Nala. And very reliable. Will absolutely book again!”
“I came to San Diego for a conference and brought along my little Cocker Spaniel rescue who I just adopted 5 months ago. Melissa cared for him during the day. He has had a lot of separation anxiety. But with Melissa it was much less than I expected. No doubt she has a gift with animals! Thank you Melissa!”
“Michelle is super nice not only to me but to my wild puppy ! He was very well taken care of and got comfortable right away! She made sure my baby was welcomed and played with her own puppy girls ! I’m very thankful my bingo was in good hands and safe when I was out of town very grateful !”
“Lisa is so fantastic. She took the best care of my little girl and made sure she was comfortable and confident. You can immediately tell she's a dog lover and understands their little personalities and needs. She was so easy to communicate with, extremely flexible with drop off and pick ups, and sent the most adorable photos. Thank you so much, Lisa!”
“Leah was amazing. I was nervous to leave my dogs with someone new but she was communicative the whole time. I got pictures and updates which made me confident my babies were in good hands. 10 out of 10 would recommend”
“I'm so happy I found Brannon on here. He's so kind and caring, and my little guy gets excited when he sees him. I can tell Brannon truly loves and cares about animals and gives them the love and attention they deserve. I highly recommend him!”
“Lara was great! She introduced chewy to so many dogs on their walk, and she said he did great. I’m so happy to hear her calm energy probably helped to socialize my pup. I will definitely call on Lara again in the future if I need dog sitting.”
“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.”
“William always takes amazing care of our dog Punky. He’s super responsive and communicative. He has a lovely fenced-in yard that is ideal for Punky to play and explore, and she is always excited to see him!”

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.
We did a doggy daycare with Kimberly. Kimberly was very flexible with pickup/drop-off times and very responsive to messages. Our pup had a great time! He was very comfortable and had fun playing with Kimberly. We’re looking forward to our boarding stay with Kimberly.
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!
Shane and Chris were amazing with my dog Bennett! I literally booked them the night before on a very unusual circumstance where I needed help last minute and they were incredibly accommodating! Their house is a dog’s paradise and Bennett enjoyed having the yard to play in! They were incredibly professional, and I would highly recommend them for exceptional and thorough dog care!
Dubu and I had a wonderful experience with Soohyun during my business trip to San Diego. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the frequent photos and updates throughout the day. Dubu went to daycare with her for three days, and it was clear how comfortable and happy he felt. I could tell Soohyun genuinely cared about him and made sure he felt cared for and loved.
I would absolutely recommend having your pup stay with Evan and Julia. Our dog Benny had a wonderful time with them (dog park included!) and I knew he was in good hands while we were exploring San Diego. If we are back in SD we will definitely reach out to them, Benny had such a blast. Thank you!!
Samantha was great with my little one! She was super communicative and accommodating when I had a last minute time adjustment. Friendly, sent pictures, and reached out throughout the day just letting me know how the stay was going. Recommend and will be bringing my little one around regularly :)
