“Excellent experience! May was super quick and easy to communicate with and everything went very well! Our anxious little dog was so happy at May's home with her and her dog – got lots of cute pictures throughout the day and updates and felt like he was in great hands! Will for sure be sending our pup over again soon!”
“Alana was awesome with our dog Teddy! We have a very fearful and reactive dog, but he felt immediately at home with Alana. She provided constant updates and made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Zari was awesome with our girl nala!!! Nala gets very excited to see her and Zari is great with responding quickly, as well as being flexible with pick up and drop offs! Highly recommend 😊”
“This is the third time we have left our pug with Danielle! I have so much peace of mind leaving him with her - she’s so responsive and sends updates throughout the day. He has the best day and always comes home so tired from playing (which is exactly what I want)!”
“Breanna and Maverick took such amazing care of our 4 month old pup. Our pup can be a bit shy in new environments and is going through potty training and Breanna made sure she was taken care of. Maverick was such a big teddy bear who our puppy loved to play with. Would highly recommend!”
About: I work full time as a professional dog trainer using balanced dog training methods. I work mainly in advanced obedience and remote collars. I have experience in service dog training, protection training and behavior modification. I am a full-time professional dog trainer working from my home. When my schedule permits, I offer occasional boarding services in a safe and structured setting. My home is sectioned off by gates to separate dogs while feeding or by size/temperament or special needs. I have a decent sized backyard that is fenced. I also carry pet care insurance.
“We just love Kimberly and her pups. I always feel Henry is in loving hands. She really is super kind and loves the dogs so much. Really happy to have found her.”
“Our dog had another great stay with Shuo - this time just for the day! When I dropped him off, he was so excited to spend time with Shuo and Dou that he barely noticed me leaving. When we picked him up, I could tell he had a great day! Thanks, Shuo!”
“Patricia is great and my little Shih Tzu loves the company of her handsome yellow lab. She takes her on three walks while she’s there every Tuesday & Thursday. Her home and yard are spacious and my girl looks forward to going.”
“Sophie is great! She is caring and attentive. Maisy enjoyed her week playing with Snow and hanging out. I felt super comfortable that Maisy was well cared for. She came home exhausted from an active day with her new friends!”
“Krystina is such a great dog sitter! She’s kind, trustworthy, attentive, and communicative. I would definitely recommend booking daycare with her. My dog Penny had a blast with Krystina and Pancake!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 15 years, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or giving meds, I treat every pup like part of the family. Friends and neighbors rely on me for everything from daily visits to overnight stays, and I’ve built great bonds with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident, calm, and always ready for fetch, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Bonus: I never show up without treats (with your permission, of course!). Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m flexible and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or quality cuddle time, I make sure each visit is stress-free and tailored to your dog’s personality and schedule. Weekdays and weekends are both available, and I always build in time for updates, so you’ll never wonder how your pup is doing. Safety, trust & environment Keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable is always my top priority—whether I’m staying at your place or welcoming your pet into mine. I stick closely to your care instructions and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. When I’m in your home, I make sure everything stays just the way they’re used to. At my place, it’s calm and cozy with lots of supervision and comfy spots to lounge. ***I have two sweet Frenchies who are great with other dogs—we’ve had a third pup stay with us for weeks at a time, and it’s always a blast. I keep things secure, walk with sturdy leashes, and treat every pet like one of my own. If you’re looking for care for two or more dogs, I usually prefer staying at your place—it helps keep things low-stress and more familiar for them.
“I needed a place for my fur baby to stay while my housekeepers were cleaning and I contacted Ruda. He responded right away and was able to provide daycare for my dog with 24 hour notice. You can tell Ruda is a "dog person" and he took very good care of my boy and took him on walks even though he didn't have a very long stay at his home. Drop off and pick up was super easy too. Thanks Ruda! We will be coming back again.”
“Pranjali is great! Henry had a wonderful time hanging out with her and her fur baby. She is kind and calm and I can tell really loves taking care of Henry. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Top drawer! Absolutely excellent with my 9 month old puppy. Angelina helped us with both walking on one day and then watching the little guy for the day on another. She seems to love her work, understands animals and my pup really enjoyed his time with her. We will call on her again”
“They are amazing!!! My pup has the best time, I get so many updates and they are so kind and flexible. Bonus they are super sweet good people. I love leaving my pup with them. Feel super lucky to have found them in Del Mar!”
About: Mom to the most perfect pup, Stella! I grew up with dogs and I’ve watched many pups along the way. I know how hard it is to find someone you trust with your dog and I would love nothing more to take care of your fur babies! We love any and all pups and they would be treated like family! I currently work from home and take my own dog on 2/3 walks per day, not including potty breaks. My job is flexible so I am easily available to work with your dogs needs throughout the week. Stella is spoiled, we’ve got beds in every room for her and our apartment does have a balcony however the space between the bars is mininimal. If your dog is a little one, I of course wouldn’t let them out there. I’m happy to accommodate special diets and care if needed! Our complex is very dog friendly, we have two big outdoor parks and pass lots of furry friends along the walks.
“I’m so glad we found Caitlin. She was super flexible and available for us bright and early. She was also the perfect calm our puppy needed. I could tell my puppy was very excited to go back to her home.”
“Thrylos loves coming to Johanna's house. She is very sweet and her dog, Nova, and Thrylos love playing with each other. Thrylos napped all afternoon when he came back from playing with Nova.”

ROWENA C.
“Rowena is fantastic with our two large dogs—a Great Dane and a German Shepherd—who can be a handful at times. She handled them with total confidence and care during daily drop-ins while we were away. From feeding and playtime to administering meds and managing their energy, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. Our dogs absolutely adore her and were calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend Rowena for any big dog parents! —Samantha R.”

Alyssa A.
“Alyssa is by far the best choice to care for your pet. As a caring and attentive pet owner herself, she knows what it takes to make sure the animals under her care are comfortable, healthy, and happy. She has a calming energy about her and is extremely responsible and communicative. She has a lifetime’s worth of caring for animals and I couldn’t recommend her services enough. She will always be my number one pick when I need a dog sitter and I recommend her to all of my friends!”
