“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.”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs taught me early how to care for pets with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for my friends whenever they go out of town, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to match their energy and routines. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or more laid-back and shy, I’ve got them covered! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to be reliable and consistent, so you can count on me to stick to your pet’s routine. I’m also happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines and walk preferences to any special needs or behaviors. I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended longer than agreed. I stay attentive during walks and in the home to keep your pet safe at all times. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.
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.
“Shelby was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for my cat, Miki! From the moment we connected, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She made sure Miki was comfortable, well-fed, and loved while I was away, and I could tell Miki felt safe and happy with her. Shelby sent thoughtful updates and gave me total peace of mind. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter.”

“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 had 2 dogs with disabilities who recently passed, so I am very good at handling high maintenance pets. I also have done dog and cat sitting In my neighborhood for the last 5 years. I do anything ranging from stopping by to feed and play, long walks, short walks, all the way to daycare and overnight boarding I do have a part time job, but it’s only certain days per week, and I live with my parents, and my mom works from home and also loves dogs, meaning she can take care when I am at work. I love to go on walks and go to the beach and love to take furry friends along with me. I dont have a fenced yard, but I have a fenced balcony area that most dogs love to hangout on. I don’t have a crate that I can provide, but my house is 3 stories and I can constrict your pet to one floor of needed
“Emily was so wonderful during her drop in visits with our sweet Luna girl! Luna loved her and Emily is a natural with animals. She provides excellent updates and is very thorough and thoughtful! Highly recommend her!”

About: Intuitive dog caretaker. Your pup's needs are my number one priority. I adapt to your fur baby's needs. When they want a long walk, I'm their guide. When they want extra belly rubs, I've got lots of love to give. I understand how tough it can be to trust someone with your dog. The good news is that dogs recognize "dog people." I'll make your dog feel comfortable and ensure every need is met. I'm a freelancer and work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can accommodate almost any schedule, and I'm usually available at a moment's notice if needed. For pet sitting, I offer services in the client's home. I feel like this is the best arrangement for the pup. They get to stay in their familiar environment, and they know they're at home. Maybe it's irrational, but I worry about how a dog will feel when they're left at someone else's house, especially if it's not something they're used to. When I stay at a client's home, the client can feel confident that their home and pet will be treated with the utmost care. I respect property and take care of any pet as if they were my own. I sympathize with the stress an animal may feel when their pack is somewhere else, so I do everything possible to ensure the pet is happy in your absence.
About: I've lived with and cared for all manner of animals for the better part of 30 years now. I also previously worked at a dog boarding facility. I currently have two German shorthair pointers, Wade and Aurora as well as a cat, Bastilla. As a pet owner, I build my entire routine around my pets and their needs. More often than not if I'm leaving the house to run an errand it is somehow pet related. When it comes to pet care in someone else's home the main thing for me is respect. Both in regards to the physical boundaries they set as well as their preferences in regards to pet care. Some pets are allowed on the furniture, or they have a very specific routine or schedule they follow. At the end of the day, I consider myself to be an extremely flexible and accommodating person in regards to caring for others' pets.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of pet sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have my own pup, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for your pet. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved! I work from home on my own flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to be reliable, attentive, and flexible to your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also love providing updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have worked in a number of rescue facilities as well as loved 2 rescue dogs and a number of rescue cats myself. I am also currently an online teacher so I am available for whatever hours needed throughout days or evenings. My schedule is super adaptable for your needs and I am very communicative throughout the entire experience. I currently work online so I can be anywhere at any time for meeting pet care needs. I am hoping to fill my schedule and help out as much as possible. I offer in client's home care for pets by scheduling one day prior typically and arriving early to get set up or shown the routines. Care will vary based on what client's specific needs are, but I like to communicate, and operate above and beyond what client's expectations are. I know how I would want my furry kiddos treated so I won't treat yours with any less love or care.
“My second time have Nycole drop in for my senior cat… she was great, gave Rossi her meds and love and took in delerviers, etc. I recommend having Nycole as your fur baby’s sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of various animals for the past 6 or so years. I love animals, I volunteered at Helen Woodward animal care center previously and am looking for a new animal journey! I’m currently working part time but I have a flexible schedule and am happy to figure out what works best for me and my pet families! I can easily crate pets if needed, I have great time management and follow instructions easy. If your pet needs special care or attention I’m able to work with that!

“Cindy’s love for animals was apparent during our meet and greet. Bella LOVED her and immediately asked for pets and belly rubs as soon as she walked in the door! Cindy was very conscientious about asking questions about Bella’s care, she was very reliable and showed up twice a day on time and sent the most ADORABLE pics of Bella playing and having fun. My cat means a lot to me and I don’t like to leave her, and Cindy put my mind at ease that she was given proper attention in my absence. I recommend Cindy to anyone needing quality pet care!”

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!
Nycole was fantastic. One of the best pet sitters we've had. Our cats are friendly, but can be somewhat reserved to strangers. They took to Nycole immediately, even letting her hold them. Nycole was responsible, timely, and professional. She spent a good deal of time playing & entertaining the cats during her visits. Nycole asked if we needed any small extra efforts, such brining in patio furniture before an upcoming storm. Nycole is 5 stars all the way!
