“I appreciated the detailed messages Monica sent about my cat’s mood and behavior. Monica made it easy to trust that she could watch my cat for such a long time. I will use her again!”

About: I’ve always been a dog person and have cared for dogs most of my life. I had a Boxer named Pantera, along with her mom and brother, Hercules, and now I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Diego. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and care, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine since I’m available on weekends and during weekday evenings. I love spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets because I feel the same way about my own puppy. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I will take the time to learn your dogs schedule and routine that you already have in place for them. My goal is to make their time away from you as stress free as possible, whether that’s in my home or yours (whichever you prefer). I also like to send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Danielle is an incredible sitter who gave our two pets amazing love, care and attention. We met for a check-in meeting and immediately connected with her and booked her for multiple visits. She communicated with us clearly and gave us a great update about your pets. We trust her as much as we trust our friends and family.”

About: I grew up in rural Vermont taking care of animals in so many different ways. My family has always had dogs and cats, and I’ve always been the point person for neighbors when folks head out of town. I’ve also worked on a farm for six consecutive years helping care for all type of animals from rabbits, to cows, pigs, chickens, sheep and more. I just moved to San Diego this past month and do not have any prior engagements, so right now all my focus can be on making sure your animals needs are met! I would love nothing more than to see the animals in this city and build connections with them and you! Currently I have a small apartment, but am able to get to parks very near by. At the time, cats and smaller dogs would be suited for boarding and visiting!
About: I have experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, cats, and even quails! I want to help your pet get the exercise, food, water, and relief they need! Just let me know :) I am available until the sun goes down most days. If anything changes, I'll be sure to let you know ahead of time. Thanks! I have a fenced-in backyard with plenty of space to roll around, explore, sunbathe, or sit in the shade under a palm tree with a fan.
“Jazmin did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. She communicated well and sent great photos. She also responded to additional requests promptly. I will be asking for her help in the future!”

“Our pups loved Phillip the moment they met him. He stopped by and did a meet and greet, which was very comforting. One could tell he also enjoys being around dogs. He kept us updated daily and even collected our mail and packages. We left him a letter regarding caring for the pups and he followed every step. On the last day he spent a few minutes with us and the dogs and you could tell they were happy to see him. Will definitely use him again.”


“Leilani did some drop-ins for our dog Moxie as we were away for the evening for a special event. I loved the reports we got from her with updates and our dog loved her at the meet and great! Will definitely be rebooking.”

About: I grew up loving dogs and have always considered them to be more than a best friend. They’re a member of the family! After COVID, I started dog sitting for friends and family members in my free time because it was so fun, and it was a nice break from my full-time job as a copywriter for Walmart’s corporate team. In 2024, I took my love for dogs a step further and got my own puppy. His name is Yukon, and he’s a lovable goofball with lots of energy. I’ve loved seeing his personality develop over the last few years and having chats with him about what makes him happy (he’s a Pomeranian Husky mix, so he’s always got lots to tell me!) It’s been such a joy to watch him grow into the happy little man that he is today. My goal as a sitter is to give your dog the best care that I can offer. I’ve house sat for dogs that need senior care (daily medications/specific food requirements), puppies that are just learning to navigate the world, energetic breeds that have high activity requirements, and larger dogs. I love them all and I’d love to offer you peace of mind knowing that your fur baby will be in the best hands should you choose to trust me with their care. ❤️🐾 I’m currently working part-time as a personal trainer trying to build up that business, so I have plenty of available hours for house visits, walks, and playtime. I live in a fenced in community that is very dog friendly. Your dog will be able to interact with Yukon—who is always looking to make new friends!—and the dogs in the neighborhood if they choose. It’s a great environment for socialization as well as for safety. I have room to crate your dog if needed or they are happy to explore my home and it make it their own as well. 😊 *Please note*: If you are hoping to book me for house sitting on an overnight basis, I will not be able to leave my own dog unattended. He’s absolutely great with other dogs and he loves people as well. I’m more than happy to do a meet and greet to see if it would be a fit for you and your pet, but if this is something you are not comfortable with, please book another sitter for this service.
About: I have beeen taking care of dogs my whole life. It all started as a young girl when my parents brought home Rosie, my first pet dog. Ever since then I have had a wide range of pets of all different kinds of breeds! I love animals and am very excited to provide care to your fur-babies. I have a full time job but am available after 5pm on the weekdays and have open availability on the weekends. I will make sure I dedicate the proper amount of time to care for your pets. While I cannot bring your animal into my home due to my own pets, I am more than happy to come to your house and provide loving care in an enviorment that is most comfortable to your pet!
“Armando is awesome! From the time we made contact, communication was great. My cat, Buddy, really enjoyed his time, and we are very grateful for Armando's commitment to Buddy's health and to the safety of our home. The first couple of days Buddy wasn't feeling well -- Armando and I reviewed the symptoms, made adjustments to food and medication, and within 24 hours we had turned a good corner! I got photos, activity reports, and we had a few phone calls at my request to make sure Armando had what he needed to keep my spoiled kitty happy :-). Thank You Armando!”


“My dogs love Caitlin. She’s amazing in how well she cares for my dogs while I’m gone. I can be certain that they are in great hands. She thinks of the smallest details to make sure they are comfortable and safe. Thank you!”

“Sandra is great with my basset hounds. They were not happy about getting their bath at first (being the spoiled children they are), but she has charmed them and now they are happy to see her!”

I’m so glad Stass and I found Christine! She is so sweet, detailed and communicative. I travel a lot for work, and it brings me such peace of mind to know that Stassi is in great hands while I’m away. I am so grateful for the care and consistent updates she always provides. I 100% recommend her and have even asked to be a recurring client of hers! Thank you so much Christine!

Latisha was an amazing sitter for my cats! I had her drop on a few times while I was out of town to check on my babies. She was thorough and kind and made sure my cats got treats, play time, and pets. I have a cat who is particularly untrusting of strangers and she seems to take to Latisha right away which honestly has never happened! I'll definitely contact her in the future if I need check ins done again - I can't recommend her enough!

Emily was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, trustworthy, and attentive she is. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we're so grateful for the excellent care Emily provided. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely great with dogs!

I'm so grateful that Destiny was able to help out when my usual sitter had to cancel last minute! She was very conscientious, taking proactive steps to look after my cat when there was unusually hot weather & other unexpected issues that came up! Thanks again!
It was wonderful to have Ginny come daily in the morning and feed my two cats. One of my cats is way more social than the other, and she was able to get the shy one out and eating while she was there and also pet him. I knew my cats were in compassionate, caring and competent hands.

We had Chelsea over again to watch our 4 year old tuxedo cat. Her communication is always so great & she sends the sweetest photos. Also, my cat is actually obsessed with her. So thankful she makes going away that much easier! We will keep asking her back so long as she will have us!

Tina is an excellent cat sitter. She is a true professional. She is responsive, took good notes during our initial meeting, and sent thorough picture and written updates on my cat. She even suggested things I hadn't thought of, especially in case of emergency, which was very helpful.

Diesel is currently dealing with old dog vestibular syndrome, so I was pretty nervous about leaving him with a new sitter as my usual one was unavailable. Eric was great! He kept me updated with clear communication, sent plenty of photos, and gave extra care to support Diesel’s condition and progress. He even offered extra drop-ins to make sure Diesel was comfortable. That level of care gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Eric again. Highly recommend!

First time Brittany did a drop in for us for our 2 doggies who are very protective and take a while to warm up. Brittany even did a meet and greet prior which was super helpful so she could meet us and the dogs and feel everything out. Brittany’s communication and care is top notch and is truly appreciated.
