Growing up in this vibrant city instilled in me a deep compassion for our furry companions in need. Motivated by a passion to establish a culture of respect and legal protection for stray animals, I am wholeheartedly dedicated to rescuing those facing vulnerable circumstances and offering them a welcoming environment to call home. Throughout my life, I have cherished the belief that dogs are incomparable companions who shower us with unwavering love. Understanding the utmost importance of finding a caregiver who provides genuine affection and attentive care, I have agreed to be the perfect babysitter for all my guests. We make them feel like they are on vacation. During the day we enjoyed the outdoors, games, and the pool. And at night to relax them more We offer massages that we combine, aromatherapy. As soft melodies fill the air with relaxing music, your furry friend will experience a state of wonderful tranquility. Plus, we go the extra mile by making our own organic treats to keep your pet's taste buds and health in mind. Our homemade treats are made with the finest organic ingredients, ensuring you receive treats that are as nutritious as they are delicious. Your furry friends will get tons of love and attention with me. Thank you for considering me as the trusted caregiver for your beloved pets.

Your dog will enjoy: • A peaceful, cage-free environment • 24/7 supervision (never left alone) • A secure, spacious yard for safe outdoor time • Personalized routines based on your dog’s needs • Mental stimulation, playtime, and gentle socialization • Relaxing evenings with calming music Optional premium touches: • Relaxing massages • Aromatherapy sessions • Organic homemade treats I intentionally keep a small number of dogs to ensure each one receives my full attention, love, and care.

About: Hi! My name is Isabelle. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for at least 10 years! I miss having dogs around so I will love yours like my own. I work from home full time and can easily take lots of breaks to let your dog out! I also take 1-2 long walks a day. Feel free to bring their bed and any toys your dog may want to have with them. I don’t have a yard but plenty of space to walk them around.

“Gretchen was really great with Suni and spent some time with him outside. She sent photos and updates during the hour and put up with the process to kennel him when she was leaving. We would definitely book with her again.”

About: Growing up we always had 1 to 3 German Shepherds. Today I am privileged to work as a canine handler in a law enforcement role. I have extensive experience in detection, track and trail, and obedience work. At my home I have 3 large dogs. 1 retired Sable Shepherd, 1 working Shepherd, and an Agouti Husky. I currently work full time, 5 days a week. During my work days I'm away for approximately 9 hours, but this is subject to change at all times. I have installed gates to separate sections of my yard when necessary. This is great for those who may not play well with others and need their own space away from my, or other client's dogs. Additionally, I have a couple large outdoor kennels (approx 4'x8', shaded, with an enclosure attached). These areas provides an additional layer of separation if needed, or serves as an outdoor area for escape artists who will be outside during my absence... additionally, my set up allows for easy client access with codes. So if you are running late, plans change, or I'm not home you can let yourself into the yard to drop off or pick up your pup. No hassle for me or you, so no stress on either end. Im amenable to providing care, stimulation, obedience training, etc as directed by you the pet owner. My goal is to provide a low stress, safe, and friendly environment for your dog so you can try to worry just a little less while you are away. While I'm at work all dogs will be outside in the fenced yard with access to shade, water, toys, and other dogs if they get along well. When I am home dogs are able to do what they prefer. In or out, couch or bed. What makes them happy makes me happy.

“Ashley sat for my cat, Minty for 6-30 minute sessions. Minty warmed to Ashley immediately. She can be a bit skittish. Ashley did a great job interacting with Minty and doing all necessary tasks. I will definitely contact Ashley again for future care.”

About: I have 10 years experience with dogs and 3 with cats, I’m passionate about exercise and extend this to pets! I’m able to do home visits or take care of them at my apartment. I’m a UW grad student. I’m available Thursday-Sunday for pet care. I enjoy working with small to medium sized dogs and can take cats that aren’t afraid to meet new people (me) or that can warm up to me. I have a private 1 bedroom apartment for myself. My living room features a cat tree and many cat toys for needed stimulation. For dogs, I have toys and fidgets as well and enjoy taking them on walks or runs for me to achieve my daily move goals as well.

“Trinity was amazing! She was timely, She followed all directions that were left for my dog and was very attentive and communicative. My dog enjoyed her and we can’t wait to have her back again!”

Chanel J.

“She had amazing customer service! Unfortunately my pupper had burned his paws so I was very nervous with leaving him with a sitter but she took amazing care of him, kept me up to date about everything. Xander wasn’t really able to walk when she picked him up and by the time he came back he was running and playing. I really appreciated her. She is a true animal lover and I was very lucky to find her. I definitely will be using her again :)”

About: I absolutely love taking care of my dogs and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 I am dedicated to giving your pup the best care possible. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for several years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🫶 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.

“Grace was great with pogi!! He was happy during his drop in visits and well cared for!”

About: I currently have 1 dog, 4 cats and 1 lizard. I have dog sat for family and friends for years. I dog sit on weekends at a senior dog boarding with up to 16 senior dogs at a time. I have experience giving oral, topical, ear/eye drops and injections to both dogs and cats. I have volunteered with TNR, helped rescue cats and finding them loving homes. I have been a medical assistant for 16 years and I’m currently in nursing school. I am a nursing student with classes Monday-Thursday, I'm available evenings and weekends. I love all animals, I can walk dogs, I can stop by for house visits and do overnights. I have lots of experience walking 3 dogs at a time, its challenging but very do-able. I have 4 cats so I am very vigilant of keeping them safely inside. I open the door carefully every single time and always make sure windows are closed and screen is intact. I am a little ocd with cleaning and making sure there is nothing toxic or poisonous in the house that can cause them any danger. When walking my dog Lola (who likes to eat everything) I am constantly scanning for things she might want to eat like chicken bones, old food or anything that might smell good to her. I will get it out of her mouth if she manages to get to something. I am very aware of my surroundings and checking that the house is safe.

About: I love dogs. Well, animals in general. I’ve always had a passion for them. No one will treat your pet with as much respect as I do. So much so, I might even get a little too attached to these animals haha. But that’s why I wanted to do this. I mean, getting paid to take care of cute dogs? Talk about enjoying your job am I right. I will have no less than a great time with dogs. I can’t wait to see these beautiful animals. I might also bring my dog as well to socialize him around other doggos as well. I hope you all understand that I am definitely going to be the best. I work 25 hours a week and am a full-time college student. However, my schedule is flexible and I’ll be 100% available for these babies and they’ll definitely be in the best hands with me. I have a fenced patio so the doggos can’t escape and I’m always extremely careful with doors and gates anything like that. I’m always careful.

About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs, and have raised my own for the last 15 years! I love animals of all kinds, and spend my free time bringing my dog wherever he can go- the beach, hikes, parks, you name it! I would treat your beloved fur babies the same way I treat mine. My dog also gets along great with other dogs, just happy to have someone to play with. My neighbors in my courtyard also all have dogs, and they often all play outside together. I am a teacher, so I get home before 4pm every day. My days are quick, and I'll be home with the dogs for hours on end. On the weekend, I will spend my time outside reading, while the dogs play and bask in the sun. I live in a new apartment building in El Cajon. Im a teacher so I’m home for the summer, and I love bringing them on long walks.

“I’m so happy we stumbled upon Narges profile. She was super communicative from the start. She happily hopped on a facetime with us so we could be crazy cat ladies and explain the idiosyncrasies of feeding our cats. Every text exchange felt like it was with a friend …She sent pictures of our cats to us which made us so happy on vacation. 10/10 recommend Narges! :)”

Paige L.

“Alanis took such great care of my anxious older cat. She followed all my instructions (even those super specific ones we all have for our unique pets?), and she was wonderfully communicative before, during, and after all of her check-ins. I arrived home to a very happy and content kitty who'd clearly had all her needs met while I was away. Thank you so much, Alanis!”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and that passion has only grown over the years. As a proud dog mom for more than 15 years, caring for furbabies brings me so much joy—it's truly my dopamine! Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or providing a safe and loving environment, I treat every pet like family and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care isn't just something I fit into my daily schedule, it's a part of my lifestyle and something that truly brings me joy 🐾 As a devoted dog mom with over 15 years of experience, my days and nights naturally revolve around caring for my furbabies, providing love, attention, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Welcoming your precious pup for a petcation fits perfectly into my routine because caring for animals is already second nature to me. I enjoy making every furbaby feel safe, comfortable, loved, and part of the family. Whether it's walks, playtime, relaxation, or extra TLC, I'll make sure your baby enjoys a little vacation of their own while you're away. Your baby won't just be a guest, they will be part of our family🐶💕 My home is central air-conditioned and heating. My backyard is fully fenced in. I work from home and have plenty of space for them to roam around, play and get comfy.Crates in our home are used as luxuries if they wanna nap or have personal space . They are also used for feeding time if they are a food protector. I enjoy giving them individual attention. Every pet requires different things and I like to learn them to cater to their needs.

About: Hey! My name is Chris… also known as Cherry’s Dad. I am very enthusiastic about people’s pets, have had dogs my entire life and will continue to be a dog person forever and ever. Fun fact: my mom owns a dog grooming shop in LA! I’ve worked a lot in the shop and have handled literally hundreds of pet dogs. After 15 years in corporate, I’m now a Business owner with flexibility in my schedule. I walk my own pet 3 times a day, and frequently take breaks to complete my put duties! At home, I pay attention to the dogs signals and adjust accordingly - are they happy? Nervous? Thirsty? Whining? I speak pretty good dog by listening. During walks, I never allow strangers, especially children, to approach someone’s dog I am in control of who isn’t mine.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I learned how to wash dishes! I’ve walked dogs and puppies from 10lbs to larger dogs of 120lbs + When I spend time with animals, even in short amounts of times, special bonds are formed. Both parties just have a blast to be honest. I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian my whole life but as things have changed this is the closest thing to it. I hope you’ll choose me as your trusted sitter! I’m currently in the military Active Duty Shore. I do drop in visits around lunch time, and I’m up early in the morning for early morning walks and feedings before work starts on weekdays. After 4pm we play, go for walks, eat and play again. On weekends I’m available whenever. Sundays mornings are exceptions, being that I attend church. I only take care of crate trained animals in my home. Animals who are potty trained, and nothing bigger than 25lbs. I do live in a gated community with plenty of room to walk and run around outdoors. I also have a spacious living room and dining room area with no furniture. Spacious for small animals, their crates, and their zoomies! I do not have any pets or children. When it comes to clients homes, I clean when needed. And I stick to whatever schedule I’ve been given.
