“Lynn is an exceptional pet sitter! She was flexible, reliable, and truly went above and beyond in caring for my dog, Saint. Her attentiveness and kindness were evident, and I could tell that Saint adored her company. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter—she’s the best!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most my life. I've had up to three dogs of my own at a time. Had to say goodbye to two of them last year. I have a one year sweet pup named Lucy that has been great around all dogs big and small. I work full time from home so I am more than happy to have your dog for the day while you're at work, or for the night if you're away. I can stop in to let your dog out throughout the day if needed. I do have 2 cats in the house so would need dogs that are cat friendly or ignore them. Look forward to meeting your pup! I do have a full time job, but I do work from home so I do have a very flexible schedule so I am available to take care of your pet during the week. I am free pretty much all day on Saturdays and Sunday I am very respectful of your home and belongings. I truly do love animals and I can assure you I will treat your pet(s) and spoil them just as I do my own

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 and am currently working professionally as a dog trainer. I work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience. Many of my training clients also trust me with their dogs’ daily care, including walks, feeding, enrichment, and basic grooming. I share my life with my 5-year-old Australian Shepherd, Oubre, who is on a home-cooked diet, so I’m very comfortable following detailed feeding instructions, including raw or fresh food routines. I’m attentive, calm, and observant, and I always prioritize your dog’s comfort, safety, and routine—whether that’s sticking to training rules, keeping walks structured, or just making sure they feel secure while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they’re my own and aim to be someone both you and your dog can genuinely trust. My schedule is very flexible, and with my husband working from home, we can give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can take dogs out every 1–2 hours for potty breaks, play fetch, work on basic obedience, and enjoy long sniff walks for at least an hour daily. High-energy dogs can even play together. I’m available weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pets both at my home and yours. My spacious patio allows dogs to play with my friendly Aussie indoors and outdoors. I also take dogs to a nearby dog-friendly park with a large grass field for potty breaks and play, including fetch and sniff walks for at least an hour after dinner. I have three crates available to maintain consistency with crate training, so your dog can stay comfortably overnight.

About: I specialize in dog care and have over five years of hands on experience as a dog owner and sitter. I’ve had my own dog, Xochilt, for five years and have also boarded two additional dogs for an extended period, caring for three dogs at once while maintaining structure, safety, and individualized attention. I have experience with puppies, reactive dogs, and dogs who require medication, special diets, or strict routines. I’m patient, attentive, and very comfortable reading dog body language, which helps me adapt my approach to each dog’s personality and needs. I prioritize consistency and clear routines, especially for dogs who thrive on structure or need extra reassurance. I’m playful and nurturing while still maintaining boundaries to keep dogs safe and well behaved. My location offers easy access to multiple dog parks within walking distance, making walks and outdoor enrichment a regular part of care when appropriate. Whether I’m providing walks, drop ins, boarding, or house sitting, my goal is to make dogs feel secure, engaged, and cared for so owners can feel confident their pets are in capable, loving hands :) I’m currently a full time student at San Diego City College with all online classes except one, which allows me to be flexible and attentive with pet care. I offer walks, drop ins, boarding, and house sitting, and I plan my schedule around each dog’s routine. I make sure dogs get consistent walks, playtime, meals, and any required medications, with plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m communicative and happy to adjust care based on your dog’s needs and comfort level ! My apartment is dog friendly and located in a safe, very walkable neighborhood. There are multiple designated areas nearby for dogs to use the bathroom, as well as several dog parks within a 10 min walking distance for dogs who enjoy extra exercise and social time. All outings are based on the owner’s preferences and the dog’s comfort level. Dogs in my care are always supervised, follow their regular routines, and receive attentive, structured care. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their established routines so pets feel comfortable and secure!

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, growing up surrounded by them, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care from a young age. I currently have two dogs of my own, and I understand the importance of providing them with attention, love and proper care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteered at the Humane Society during High School, gaining hands-on experience with a variety of animals and learning how to meet their unique needs. I know what it's like to be on vacation, but to keep thinking about your furry babies at home. I want to ease your mind knowing they are in good hands! Constant communication and pictures are a guarantee! Paw 🐾 bump! I work full-time on a hybrid schedule - 2 days at home and 3 days in office. My workday ends at 3:30pm, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pup, whether it's playtime, walks or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I am happy to adjust my schedule to ensure they get the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's a midday check-in or evening cuddles, I am committed to providing the best experience for your furry friend. I have private access to Dusty Rhodes park, which has an huge field & an enclosed dog park - one for small dogs & one for big dogs. I also live close to Ocean Beach dog beach if your pup prefers the water! I have two furry friends to keep your dog company. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. In my house, dogs are allowed on the couch and bed! If I am watching your furry friend in their house I will abide by all house rules.

“Skye is a true animal lover! She goes above and beyond, my indoor/outdoor cat wasn’t around one of the feedings and she offered to come back. Very sweet. Happy to find someone that truly cares about my little kitty!”

About: Certified dog trainer by the Japan Kennel Club with 20 years of experience. With a strong background in canine care and training, I served as a teaching assistant in dog trainer programs at a vocational school in Japan, where I managed a wide range of dogs. I also earned a certificate after completing the dog behaviorist program in Japan, which deepened my understanding of canine psychology and behavior. I am also a lifelong dog lover with personal experience raising dogs, including caring for senior dogs. This hands-on experience has given me a deeper appreciation for the emotional and physical needs of dogs at every stage of life. Since my availability as a dog walker may vary depending on the time and circumstances, I plan to update my schedule regularly. However, the usual schedule is Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00PM. I believe every dog deserves a walk that matches their needs. I thoughtfully choose safe paths based on their age and health, making sure they feel happy and cared for.

“Kara did a great job on keeping me updated regarding my dog's walks and her appetite while I was away. Her photos were reassuring to me. I recommend Kara for your dog sitting needs!”

About: I have been around dogs since I was little through friends and family. Recently I adopted my puppy 2 years ago from the shelter when she was just 8 weeks old. She is a high energy Australian Cattle/Shepherd mix. I am working full time in a Hybrid schedule which means 3 days in the middle of the week I am in the office. Other then that, my nights and 5 day weekends are flexible. I keep any pets I care for indoors. If I am at my client’s home, I follow their custom directions very closely and is very communicative.

About: I have been technically taking care of pets since I was 12 but I have had pet sitting experience since high school so about 10 years! I was that kid that always wanted a dog but could never have one. I truly appreciate any time I get to spend with a dog and treat them as my own when they are with me. I was the cat kid as I always had cats growing up and I love cats too, and am definitely experienced with them and their amazingly unique personalities, haha! Pets are our family members and I would only treat them as such when they are with me. I am a kindergarten teacher,. What's good is I have flexibility on breaks! I go on walks after work so I can easily fit dog walks into my daily schedule. In terms of pet sitting, I can definitely fit that in with a weeks or more notice! Feel free to reach with day of notice too! I make sure that dogs are settled before I go anywhere and I don't leave them for more than a couple hours at a time. (This varies on weekdays because of my sub assignment) but always applies for weekend requests! :)

“They are fantastic! Extremely quick to respond, send lots of pictures, and take excellent care of my dog.”
