Pet Sitting Bonsall

About: I’ve grown up with pets around my whole life. Dogs and cats specifically but fish and reptiles too! I even have a gecko of my own. With my years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I can provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your pets too! I have a very free schedule at the moment due to taking time off of school. I am available weekdays and weekends, mostly afternoon and night. Some morning availability. I make sure to focus on patience when working with new pets to ensure they are comfortable with me in their environment. I treat each home with respect and communicate clearly with owners so they feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I started pet sitting when I was 8 years old for our neighbors when they went out of town. I cared for their dogs, and a few litters of puppies. I have a deep rooted love for animals and their quirky personalities. I grew up with lots of animals in the house, multiple cats, frogs, and fish. I also spend lots of time at my aunt's house where they would have several dogs at a time. Playing with the dogs and running around the yard of some of my foundest memories. I currently have two cats, Mischka (13) and misty (12), and a dog Mikko (4). I’ve always been passionate about caring for animals. I have a B.S. in software engineering from CSUSM. A few years ago, I was living in NH, during that time I worked with Live Free Animal Rescue as an active foster. I was able to foster several dogs until I found their forever home I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to devote to caring for dogs and cats, plus I love to walk! In constantly working with my own dog on her obedience and mostly frequent businesses where she can join me. My dog is friendly toward people and other dogs. She loves to play! Since we live in an apartment, we frequent walks, and always have a leash on her when leaving the apartment. When caring for people’s pets, if I’m doing a home visit, I always check fences and doors to make sure their pets are secure.

About: As a USMC veteran and lifelong dog owner, I know what it means to be there for your buddy. I'll bring that same commitment to caring for yours. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. 🐾 I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. Additionally, through my volunteer rescue work as a dog adoption coach and dog handler, I've gained experience working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. 🐾 My wife, Ellen, is a former Humane Law Enforcement Officer and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Together, we share a passion for animal welfare. 🐾 We currently share our home with two rescue dogs and three indoor cats. We know that every pet has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels at home while you're away. 🐾 If you think we'd be a good fit, I'd love to meet you and your buddy. We can talk about your dog's routine, personality, and any questions you may have before booking. 🐾 We hold all meet-and-greets at the dog-friendly neighborhood park right across the street from our home. We do this because it's a neutral place where everyone can relax, get to know each other, and make sure we're all a good fit before bringing a new dog into our home. It also gives me a chance to observe your dog's body language and get to know them in a low-pressure setting. 🐾 Thank you for considering us to care for your buddy. We appreciate the opportunity to earn your trust and hope to meet you both soon. Toby works from home full time, so your dog always has a real person present and engaged throughout the day. No empty houses, no lonely pups. Our yard is fully fenced and secure. Toby is home all day, so your dog is never unsupervised. We have First Aid and CPR training, and between Toby's work at Labs and More and Ellen's background in Humane Law Enforcement, your dog is in experienced hands from drop-off to pick-up.

“First time for us using rover but needed someone to take check in on our dog during our short 4 day trip. We were nervous about having a stranger come over to feed our indoor dog. Makenna made this service very easy. She was very responsive and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. She even brought in some Amazon packages for us and went out of her way to shut off a water hose we left running (by accident). We were very thankful to have found both rover and Makenna. Would for sure hire her again (and already planning on it next month). Highly recommend”

“Linda was such a great sitter! She went above and beyond and was so accommodating, even took our trash cans to the curb when she noticed it was trash day. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I have had dogs for my entire life and am very experienced with all levels of care from walking and feeding, to administering medication and light obdience and potty training. I am highly attentive, comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and dedicated to maintaining your dog's regular routine so they feel safe and loved while you're away. My schedule is currently wide open for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups. I do ask for some advance notice, but I am open to accommodating same-day requests when possible. I provide a secure environment for pets in my home with at least 3 walks a day and plenty of engagement. I have a doodle who loves to have "sleepovers" with new friends. Safety is my top priority, so I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am fully able to accommodate any specific feeding schedules and administer any medications if required. I can provide the same level of service in your home as well, except I'll leave my doodle at home ☺️

“Laura supported us on short notice and really came through! Her write up left us feeling confident that Lucy had been taken care of and loved while we were gone. Thank you, Laura!”

“Katherine was trust worthy and stopped by many times. She is professional and friendly. Treated our baby well. We were so grateful she accepted our request. Will book again.”

About: I've always loved animals and understand how important it is to leave them with someone you trust. I'm naturally patient, calm, and attentive, which helps me connect with pets of all kinds and make them feel comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I am currently on summer break so I am available for the month of July weekdays and weekends. Mornings, midday, evenings. Overnights are also open if needed! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. I know every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’ll take the time to make them feel comfortable while following your care instructions closely. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medications (if needed), or plenty of love and attention, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. I’ll also treat your home with respect, keep everything clean and secure, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid, and it's never felt like a job, it's just who I am. My friends know this well, when they need someone to watch their pets, I'm usually their first call, because they know their pet will get even better care from me than they'd get at home. That's not an exaggeration, it's a standard I hold myself to every single time. On walks, I stay alert and play defense from the moment we step outside, watching the environment, reading the pet's body language, and adjusting before anything can go wrong. That same mindset carries over to the little things too: I always bring water and anything else your pet might need (with your okay, of course), because being prepared is part of showing up for them fully. My fiancée and I recently said goodbye to our 14-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever, the best dog either of us could have asked for. He taught us that pets aren't just pets, they're family, and family deserves everything you've got. We wish they could stay with us forever, but while they're here, I believe in giving them the same love, patience, and attention I gave him every single day. That's exactly what I'll bring to caring for yours. I have a flexible work schedule, and since losing our own dog, I've decided to give those hours of love and attention to pets who need them. I'm selective about who I take on. I'd rather do right by a few families than spread myself thin, but every pet I care for gets my full attention and best effort, every time. No exceptions. Safety comes first, always. I stay alert to each pet's environment, anticipate risks before they happen, and adjust to their comfort level. That watchfulness, paired with genuine trust and love, means your pet is truly safe with me.

About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs for as long as I can remember, so taking care of them has always been second nature. My biggest accomplishment was puppy raising a future service dog with Guide Dogs of America for 1.5 years. That meant weekly training classes, lots of patience and consistency, and learning everything from good leash manners to ignoring distractions (he was better at it than I am). Every dog has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them happiest—whether that’s long walks, playing fetch, or belly rubs! I have a flexible weekday schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by following their normal routine, respecting your home, and providing plenty of love, attention, and updates while you’re away.

“Alexandra was wonderful! She was very attentive and communicative and was flexible when my little guy needed to start a medication at the last minute. Would definitely ask her again!”

About: I have been dog sitting for family and friends for about 4 years now. During those time I would do daily checkups including feeding, playing, and even taking them out on walks. I currently have practice during the weekdays that takes up the whole afternoon, so morning and evening are great times for me. However, on the weekends I am fully available the whole day. In my home I have a fenced yard to maintain the safety of my dog. I can crate/kennel a dog as well if needed

“Annette was always on time, professional, and communicated very well. If you’re looking for great care for your dog, look no further. Thank you, Annette!”

About: I’ve cared for animals personally and understand feeding routines, potty breaks, exercise, companionship, and keeping owners consistently updated. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and take the safety of your pet seriously. I have flexible availability and am open to drop-in visits, pet sitting, and some walks depending on distance and schedule! I'm currently doing college online during the summer, so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I prioritize each pet's safety, comfort, and routine. In my clients' homes, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, fresh water, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets away from hazards, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away! My goal is to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their familiar environment.

About: Taking care of your house, your pets, and your chores is something I take very seriously. I love it. My families make sure I am available first; then book their reservations. I am available up to 3 weeks at a time. References available upon request. I promise to stay with your pets all day - following THEIR daily schedules. I NEVER leave for more than 2 hours at a time and NEVER waiver from your written instructions and previously agreed upon requests! I do work during the day on my site - BlackWingFarms - take a look, you will love it! Pride myself in following YOUR instructions - Never feeding foods not discussed before your departure. Never introducing new toys, chews, activities, etc. These are your Pets and you know best!!

“Sean has been amazing with my baby girl! It gives me so much comfort knowing she’s in great care while I’m away. Since my girl is a strong dog I have never felt comfortable with anyone taking her for walks, but with Sean I have total confidence and she is a much more relaxed dog when I come home:)”
