Pet Sitting Bay Ho

About: What sets me apart as an animal caretaker is how naturally connected I’ve always felt to animals. I’m really intuitive and heart-led with them, and I think growing up around all kinds of animals shaped who I am in a big way. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, praying mantises, and more, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. I genuinely love building trust with animals and making them feel safe, understood, and cared for. Pet caretaking fits really naturally into my daily routine because I already have a dog and structure a lot of my day around animal care, walks, attention, and consistency. I’m looking to fill my schedule out more, so adding additional caretaking responsibilities would be really easy to weave into my routine. I’m very flexible with hours and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so it feels less like work to me and more like something I naturally love doing. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I adapt my approach depending on the dog’s breed, personality, energy level, and training experience. I use different tools and techniques based on what each animal responds best to and what keeps them safest and most comfortable. The services I currently offer include walks and overnight care, and I always focus on creating a calm, reliable, and positive environment for the pets I’m caring for.

“Victoria is clearly a dog person. Our dogs, we have three, warmed up to her right away. Our little dog, Pearly is very anxious but she warmed up to Victoria in record time. I feel confident and at peace leaving our dogs with Victoria and that’s saying a lot! If you’re a nervous parent, Victoria is perfect for you.”

About: I grew up raising and tending to animals of all sizes and types in the rural side of the mid-Atlantic, giving me the experience to properly care for anyone’s furry friend. I've been entrusted by clients with everything from the simple tasks such as walking/feeding/bathing to even the more complicated task of adhering to a pet's medication schedule as well as administering oral medications. I'm an early bird who loves a great hike. I work part time 1-6 in the evenings during the week, but available in the mornings and entire weekends. Morning, mid-day, even late-evenings are always open in my book to make sure your pet gets the exercise they need. I pride myself on making sure your fur baby's needs, including both physical and mental exercise, are exceptionally achieved. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, attentive, and will make sure your pet is happy and healthy while you’re away, then look no further!

About: I may be new to pet sitting, but l've always had a big heart for animals. I grew up caring for my own dogs and one cat, making sure they were happy, healthy, and loved. I'm patient, gentle, and responsible.. I treat every pet like my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, or snuggles, l'll make sure your furry friend feels safe and cared for while you're away. I currently work as a server and offer pet care during my free time. I’m available on Mondays from 12 PM to 8 PM, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 AM to 6 PM. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to giving your pet the attention and care they deserve during each visit. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. My home has a fully fenced front and backyard, and I also have access to a nearby park for walks and exercise. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Emily! She is incredibly sweet, calm, and caring, and it was clear right away how comfortable my cat felt with her. Olly absolutely loved her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive, gentle, and truly treated him like her own. We enjoyed all of the pictures, videos, and updates she sent too!”

About: My dedication ensures your furry friend receives the best care possible. I specialize in personalized care tailored to each animal's needs, whether it's training, administering medication, or providing extra attention to senior pets. In my daily routine, senior care for my 16-year-old poodle mix is a priority. I schedule regular feeding times, administer daily medications, and ensure plenty of exercise and attention. I provide attentive care, considering the pet's age and needs. Water, food, walks, playtime, litter cleaning, you name it! Spending time with your pet brings me joy.

“The best cat-sitters we’ve ever used! Great communication, and excellent care all around. And they went above and beyond, even bringing a new toy for the cats to play with, lots of photos from each visit, including one of the clean litter boxes so we could see it was done. Very impressed, and us and the cats are so happy we chose them!”

About: Hi, My name is Shrusti, and I look forward to caring for your furry baby! We have a 8-year old pup named Maya at home. When I care for your dog, I can walk them around the neighborhood and they will have plenty of space to run around in our fenced backyard. We have lots of treats and toys for play time! My schedule is flexible, and can adjust to fit your needs. I will be home the full time with your dog. I work fully remote and go on walks 2 times a day with my pup, so you can be assured your fur baby will get lots of attention! Please share any details on your dogs daily routine so I can make their stay more comfortable. I would love to speak with owners before a stay to learn what’s best for your dog and will base my care around their routine!

“Lindsay was amazing! I’m a first time user of Rover and just moved to SD. I was a bit nervous for this first visit but Lindsay made sure to answer all my questions, actively communicated, and really made me feel at ease with the first home visit. She was patient with my dog who is having some mild adjustment issues to his new environment. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: As an elementary school teacher and previous foster dog volunteer, I have experience building patience, responsibility, and attentiveness. This translates directly into exceptional pet care. I am calm, reliable, and deeply attentive to the needs of animals in my care. My background in yoga and mindfulness means I bring a grounded, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and at ease. I am an active San Diego local who loves being outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who need regular walks and adventure. I am communicative with pet owners, provide regular updates, and treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm currently on summer break and have a very flexible schedule. I have two dogs of my own so I am used to making substantial time for them every day to get the exercise and love they need. I share my home with two dogs, one of whom is a rescue, so I have firsthand experience understanding the unique needs of animals who may need extra patience, reassurance, and time to adjust to new environments. I also have experience fostering dogs, which taught me how to introduce new animals into a home safely, read animal behavior closely, and provide a calm, structured environment for dogs at all stages of adjustment. I have a fenced in backyard and park nearby that we visit frequently.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s had pets by my side since I was 6 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, and fish—each one teaching me something about playfulness, patience and the joy of good company. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and cat sitting, and I’m happy to check in on other types of pets too. Whether your furry friend needs a brisk walk, some cozy company, or reliable daily care while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with attention, affection, and respect for their routines. Animals have always been part of my life, and I’d love to help care for yours. 🐾 I’m not currently employed full time, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule to meet the needs of your pets. While I have a few blocked times when I’m unavailable, please don’t hesitate to reach out — I’ll always do my best to accommodate your requests. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I provide care in your home so your pets can stay in their familiar environment, following their usual routines and minimizing stress. I’m attentive to details, respectful of your space, and committed to earning both your trust and your pet’s. You can count on reliable communication, safe handling, and genuine care every visit.

About: What sets me apart is the level of genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m patient with young pets who are still learning routines and boundaries, and I’m equally gentle and attentive with senior pets who may need slower walks, medication support, or extra reassurance. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and I make sure pet parents feel informed through consistent updates and communication. I’m currently working part time so I can be very hands on with your pet. Take them on walks, play with them, and more. I provide dependable pet sitting and dog walking services tailored to each pet’s needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, administering basic medications if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I also provide photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and safe. My home is a good size. It’s always clean. There’s lots of space for fur balls to run around. It’s a perfect spot. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all feeding instructions, provide fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention and affection. I keep the environment clean, safe, and calm to reduce stress. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels to ensure pets stay happy and healthy, and I provide regular updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I enjoy taking dogs on adventures (owner permitting) to the beach, trails or Fiesta Island while providing them space to run and explore. Having had three children and my own dog, I have learned to treat all dogs in my care as members of my family. Pet care has been a part of my life for the last three years. I have many clients (outside of this site) and lots of references. I care for my dogs like my children. I give them lots of love and attention. I like to have fun and in turn we all have fun.

About: I grew up with huge Tibetan mastiffs, chickens, and ducks. I love all animals and have to stop and pet every dog I see walking by, I can’t help myself ! Because of this, I have had many family and friends ask me to care for their pets, as they know I will do a good job but because it makes me so happy! I have 2 cats, Ginger and Sage! I work remotely Mondays and Thursday so am very flexible those days along with weekends! I also am free anytime after 5 pm on the other weekdays. I am very careful with animals and make sure I’m am always staying within their boundaries. I always cater to their needs, my cats eat even before I do!

About: I have been around dogs since I was 3 years old. I have 2 rescue dogs and have experience fostering multiple puppies at a time. I also have experience caring for other animals such as horses and genuine pigs. I walk and feed my dogs daily. They are high energy and require two walks everyday. For this reason, I have also learned how to train dogs. I have a very large yard and two other friendly dogs to keep yours company. Walks are a big part of my daily dog care routine so your dog would be sure to receive a lot of exercise. Additionally, I am very flexible with care and happy to crate your dog if needed. There are many dog parks in the area that are easily accessible as well.

“Morgan has been so awesome at taking care of Ace and playing with her! They got along great right from the start. Morgan responded to my request quickly and was able to work us into her schedule right away. I would recommend Morgan to anyone needing help with their dog. Very thankful for her help!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for my two dogs daily. I’m very familiar with structured routines, I’m used to long walks — sometimes up to two hours — including playtime and rest breaks as needed, always adapting to the dog’s energy level. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, always adapting to their specific needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own, prioritizing safety and lots of affection. I currently work online and part-time, so I would have plenty of time to care for your dog, giving him attention, playtime, and exercise. At home, we usually go to bed early because we have a dog who wakes up very early and starts his day with his routine of going out to relieve himself. I have two friendly dogs who could keep your dog company. I'm also very close to the bay where I usually go with my dogs. I typically take a long walk in the mornings to Fiesta or around the area, depending on how my day is going. And I have several spaces in the house where your dog can rest peacefully after walks.

“Grey was amazing with Lillycat! She took the time to snuggle with her while I was away and kept good care of her! Would book again”
