“I had a wonderful experience with Justin and Tara! They were very responsive and friendly from the start, which made me feel at ease leaving my dog in their care. Throughout the stay, they sent me frequent updates with texts and pictures, which I really appreciated. It was clear that they truly care about the dogs they look after, and my pup was well taken care of and happy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”


“Elizabeth truly took time to get to know and care for our girl Sweets. She was wonderful to communicate with and very understanding of the special needs and quirks of our sweet girl. We recommend her and will be using her again for sure!”


“Alex and Madison were great with Dude. They seemed to understand his shyness and still gave him love and attention, including three walks! They sent photos and updates which made me, the Dude Mama, very happy. We will definitely ask them to care for Dude the next time we visit Encinitas!”


“Jane cared for our dog Oz while we attended a friend’s birthday party. Oz occasionally gets worried when we’re away at night and begins to shake and shut down. Jane’s calm kindness put him at ease.”


About: I love animals, very responsible and will treat it as if it’s my own. Safe and comfortable home. Have had cats and dogs my whole life. You can be confident your baby will be in good hands. I work from home and your pet will be taken care of and kept in good company the entire time they’re away from you. You can travel with comfort. Your pet will be with me the entire time with a watchful eye and comfort, and they will feel like they are at home away from home

About: I always honor and treat my clients like family. I especially love working with active, high energy dogs that are responsive to treats and training. Senior dogs and dogs with special needs also hold a special place in my heart. A quick meet and greet is REQUIRED for all new clients to make sure my home is a good fit for your pup. I also require a meet and greet for my dog walking clients. Please allow time for that with your request, if applicable. I'm home most of the day. It's easy for me to take a break from what I'm doing to play with your pup, go for a walk around the block, or out to the park for some fun. There are so many fun places to explore in and around Solana Beach and Del Mar. I may leave for an hour or two during the day for yoga or the gym.

About: My Fiancé, Olivia, and I have grown up around dogs all our lives. Olivia has had a Golden Retriever and English Springer Spaniel, while I grew up with a Border Collie, Cockapoo, and Mutt Lab. Over the past few years we’ve been watching our friends dogs and thought that this was a great way to get more puppy love. I am work from home, so I’m able to walk, play, and attend to the dog throughout the entirety of the day. Olivia is a teacher and at school during the day, but is around in the afternoons and on weekends. We are available most weekdays and some weekends to watch pets! We live in an apartment building, but I frequently go on walks and leave the building throughout the day. We can walk to dog beach if your dog is super social, or we can stay in the neighborhood, or go to Fletcher Cove to hang on the lawn.

“Caroline is the best sitter I’ve ever had on Rover! She is so sweet and goes above and beyond to make sure you and your pup are happy with lots of updates along the way. Layla absolutely loves her and was always so excited to see her everyday. I wish we lived in San Diego so we could bring her for daycare all the time:)”


“Jacquelyn was kind enough to watch my dog Bonita last minute so I could go see an evening show. Bonita has separation anxiety so doesn’t do well staying home alone, but did great with Jacquelyn, her sweet girls and dog! Thank you!”


“Mustafa came through on very short notice, was super flexible and willing to help out how ever he could. He even went above and beyond in caring for our pups, our yard, and our home. So grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”


“Lan took very good care of Peanut. Last minute I had to change my reservation to assist my friend with her dog and Lan accommodated the situation with no hesitancy. Peanut was a happy camper and the photo helped to ease my concerns of him being in an unfamiliar place. Thank you so much for your care and accomodations.”

Warmly, Tiffany Please feel free to inquire!

About: A pet sitter for all kinds of pets! I grew up on a farm and have had over 20 pets of my own throughout my life so I’m happy to watch all kinds of dogs, cats, rabbits, you name it! I have my own horse but there won’t be any trips to the barn while I am pet sitting. I work remotely so I am flexible to watch or walk your pet throughout the week. I am very active so I’m happy to walk any dogs that might need to get out! My place doesn’t allow for pets so I will most likely be picking up dogs for walks or house sitting unless the dog is very small and quiet. I don’t have any pets at home (just a horse at a boarding facility) so my attention will be fully on your animal. My place is very small and doesn’t allow for pets so I will be mostly house sitting (rare exceptions will be considered for a small quiet dogs).

“We were in town for a funeral and decided to attend the zoo for a day with the fam. Our dogs weren't supposed to be with us for the trip but our sitter in Utah cancelled last second so we drove down with them. We contacted Christian the day before we went to the zoo and he responded super fast and was more than happy to watch them. He sent pics and updates throughout the day and they came back completely exhausted from playing and super happy. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and have loved and cared for them with all my heart :) I know how good of a feeling it is knowing you pet is safe and cared for while you are away and I want you to feel that with me! I work remotely and have lots of flexibility during the day to make sure your animal has the care and love it needs. I love having a furry companion for a walk or to keep me company while I am working at home. I love to make sure they are comfortable with me and feel cared for. Snuggles of the couch, lots of good walks, and lots of belly rubs.
