Tori was a great sitter for my cat. Kept in good contact with me from first contact through the visit. She spent time with my cat and completed all the tasks each day. I appreciated the photos each day. I will book her again.

Analisa did an amazing job with my two cats. She was flexible and accommodating to one of my cats’ medical needs, they both looked well taken care of when I returned. She sent many updates and pictures as well, which makes it easier to be away from them.

About: I've taken care of my maltipoo back at home from puppy-hood all throughout highschool. As well as my very vocal quarantine-pup pug. I have a flexible schedule to care for your pup in the morning, afternoon, evening, and weekends to fit your needs! 🐾 For a nice breath of air for both pups and I, I usually fit pet care between and after my classes which are regularly scheduled each week. I ensure that pups emotional and physical needs are all met. Through regular walks that gives a breath of fresh air, to all the attention that these pups needs-I assure that the pets in my care are well loved and cared for.

About: I have cared for animals since I was 5, whether that was a family pet or a stray. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments as I have previous experience in a boarding/veterinary facility. Additionally, I have fostered puppies and older dogs with many different medical and training needs. I also have over 10 years of experience with horses and caring for animals of that nature. Currently I am a student at Mira Costa College, however, I am majority online so my schedule is very flexible for playtimes and walks with your pet! Keeping up with a pet’s routine and safety are my number 1 goals. I am unable to have others’ pets in my home, but I intend to respect others’ homes and values when caring for their pets.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and truly love caring for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk and feed their pets. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages. I treat every pet like my own! I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for your pets! I have time during the day for walks, playtime, and drop-in visits. Whether it’s weekday or weekend walks, I’d love to make sure your pet gets the attention and exercise they need. I always keep pets safely on leash when outdoors and carefully follow your care instructions closely. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

Donna was very attentive to our dogs and cat, and sent a lot of updates and photos. One of our dogs takes a lot to warm up to people and he warmed to her right away. Our finicky and shy cat also welcomed her visits and was very affectionate with her. She also gave them medication whenever they needed it.

About: As a certified Holistic Health Practitioner I look at animal care from all aspects. I make sure they get good nutrition, exercise and interaction with other dogs. I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding. There are no cancer causing pesticides being used around our home and only bio-degradable non-toxic cleaners. For me dogs are supporting and protecting us on our journeys physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. I also offer canine massage. My husband and I are working from home and our daughter (19) is currently taking online classes. All of us love animals very much and enjoy being around them... We have a fully fenced yard (6 ft) and 2 little dogs ( one senior and one puppy) to keep your dog company. We have balls and toys to play with and your dog is welcome to share the dog beds and our couch with everybody. Our porch door is open all day which makes potty training easy and gives your dog plenty of outdoor time. We usually take everybody for a nice sunset walk and can add a nice beach walk to the day. We do not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals and there are no toxic/ poisonous plants in our yard/home.

About: I’ve always loved caring for animals. Over the years, I’ve provided reliable dog, cat, and house-sitting experiences. I’m attentive to every detail—whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, walking your dog, watering plants, or keeping your home tidy and secure. Your pets and home will be in caring, responsible, and loving hands. I currently freelance in the design space, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to be available on both weekdays and weekends for walks, check-ins, playtime, and attentive care. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding on schedule, walks and playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I’m respectful and tidy. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always feel at ease while you’re away.

Emily was a very attentive and responsive cat sitter, especially considering our request was very last minute. She really went the extra mile checking to make sure her automatic litter box cleaner was functioning correctly and when she noticed it wasn’t working with me to help troubleshoot it. Would recommend anyone looking for reliable pet care!

I was in an urgent pinch for someone to care for my senior dog with special needs, both physical and emotional. Bethany responded quickly to my request, and came for a meet and greet the next day. She was clearly experienced, gathered all relevant information and made introduction to Addie. She sent videos confirming that Addie was being well cared for. She was a savior. I will not hesitate to call on her again.

Cary is a wonderful caring petsitter. She was just the right person to stay with our shy, quirky, older Bernese Mountain Dog. She understood that our girl is shy and needed to make the first moves to become friends, which Cary understood and they became good friends. Communication was great, lots of cute pics from walks and chilling out. 100% happy, 100% would use her again. Highly recommend her!

Ari did an amazing job watching our small dog. She was patient with her so she could feel comfortable with someone else taking care of her. Our dog is a rescue from the streets of Mexico and is afraid of everything. We were sent updates and photos from Ari all day long of the 2 of them bonding and playing. We would definitely recommend Ari if you need someone to spend quality time with your pet.

Tori and her fiance were great! They we’re very communicative, responded quickly when I texted them, took my two dogs out for about 11 minute walk even though it was dark out so they could get some exercise and go to the bathroom. I only used her for a drop in service this time, but would not hesitate to use her to come and sit at my house in the future.
