“Second time's the charm. I really appreciate Brenda's willingness to come out and sit our cats once again. She's very responsible, always sends photos after each appointment, and made sure to inform us any time she changed the water or had to make another purchase fir the cats midway through the period. Will definitely consider her again next time I'm out if town.”

“Michelle is a fantastic sitter! She spent over a week taking excellent care of our two kitties and we couldn't have left them in better hands.

About: I grew up with big dogs (Newfoundlands) my whole entire life and adore all types of dogs. All animals have different personalities and quirks that I do not mind adjusting to. I am a confident dog walker with a keen sense of safety in different environments. I will provide your pet with love and safety just as I treat my own. I am working part-time in San Diego and looking forward to taking a few jobs here and there to care for animals that need it, whether it be a walk to get some fresh air or some cuddles on the couch. I can easily adapt to special rules/boundaries when taking care of your pet in your home. If your pet will be visiting me, I have two cats that I can keep in the main bedroom for a short period of time with no risk of them getting out. At my home, your dog is free to roam and share my company in our cozy living room. If your dog is potty trained, I can take them out front to the grass that’s only two steps away for a quick potty break or walk them around the community.
“She did a great job with a high energy and sometimes difficult to control pup. Would recommend to others and will be looking to book her again for future trips!”
About: I’m a natural with animals and provide attentive and active walks for your dog. I am gentle and patient yet firm and assertive in my doggy communications. I will always be alert and intune to the behaviors, needs and environmental stimuli of your dog during our walk. Safety, fun, and exercise are my main priorities! I have two amazing fur babies of my own who came into my life as rescues and have enriched my life with playfulness and love. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds and would love the opportunity to get to know your doggy better and learn their preferences. I have learned through my own experiences with my dogs and their dog walker that a tired dog is a happy dog. So I look forward to finding the right walk routine for you and your dog. I’m a stay at home mom with kids in school full time so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for walks, dog boarding or drop in visits I have a 2 bedroom home in North Park that is conveniently located next to a dog park, playground and trails near Balboa Park. Crate available if needed.
“Savannah is the most responsible and caring pet sitter we’ve ever had! She has taken care of our cat twice now and we love getting updates on him while we’re away. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter, we highly recommend her.”
“Julia was amazing. I needed someone to check in on my pups at the last minute while I was away and she was so accommodating on such short notice. She took great care of all three dogs, she was communicative, punctual, patient and really wonderful to work with.”
“Matt is great! We appreciate his patience and calm demeanor. Our dogs really like him and we trust that he treats them the same way we do! We will continue to book with Matt.”
“Frank is golden!! I knew exactly how my fur baby was doing the entire time I was away from her. He was really fantastic with her. I got updates every step of the way. He was very professional, punctual, and caring. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who has a high love of integrity. Book with confidence…I know I will again…can’t thank him enough!”

About: Hi! I’m Maia and for as long as I can remember I have always had a love for animals. When I was old enough, my parents allowed me to completely train/raise one of our family dogs, a Bernese mountain dog. I learned how to be responsible for another beautiful living creature at 10 years old, and many of our friends and neighbors trusted me to do the same for their fur babies. Since I can remember, I have volunteered with all sorts of animals sanctities (marine animal facilities, dog pounds, horse rehabilitation centers, etc). I truly have a love and respect for all furry friends and am looking forward to helping where I can! I adore spending time with animals and giving them the attention and care they deserve when mom or dad is away. I’m currently available on weekdays from 9AM-4PM and weekends which gives me the perfect flexibility to help your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just a calm, steady presence, I’m here for whatever your furry friend needs. I’m known by my friends and family as super responsible, calm under pressure, and deeply empathetic — especially with animals. I treat every pet like my own, tuning into their energy and making sure they’re both happy and safe. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can support you both.
“Ivy was extremely communicative and caring when taking care of our two cats. She went above and beyond, taking time to figure out their favorite treat flavors, brushing them so well that their coats got way softer, and taking lots of cute pics and sending them our way while we were gone. We’ll definitely be working with her again!”
“Hollis took care of my kitty well in my absence. She’s dependable and was flexible to do a meet and greet to go over my kitty special care. I highly recommend her to any pet parents!”

She arrived right on time and really listened to all the things I wanted her to be mindful of. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, and my dog felt comfortable with her right away. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Thank you, Clara!”

About: I recently lost our family dog and I can't keep pets in my current home, but I get a lot of joy from caring for furry friends.

My current schedule is completely open until the school year starts, and I can accommodate walking, playing, and sitting throughout the day and always on weekends. I'm flexible and centrally located in San Diego. I am an enthusiastic dog walker and can handle more than one at a time, if needed.

Meghan R.
“Oh my goodness, my 2 girls are in LOVE with Meghan. They absolutely love it when Meghan comes to take care of them. As every pet parent does, I get anxious leaving my girls in someone else’s care. Especially because they are on the bigger side but Meghan quickly put my mind at ease as a pet sitter. She takes the time to walk and feed my girls of course AND she takes them to the park to play fetch. Meghan also sends me tons of pictures and videos of them with her along the way. Even when my girls required extra care for more complicated visits with medications and separate walks, she was happy to help. Oreo and Olive get so excited for all of the cuddles and adventures with her. If you’re looking for a dog/pet sitter for any amount of time, she is absolutely your girl. She’s on time, communicates throughout every visit and she’s even helped me out with impromptu and overnight visits. Not only that, but because she cares so deeply for them, she’s even asked to just come by and see them when she’s in my area! Use her as your sitter and you won’t have to worry about your pets while out of town. I promise you, they’ll instantly fall in love with Meghan!”

Ayzah is a hard-working, motivated and dedicated college student striving to do great things with her life.”

We’re very grateful for Kaelyn. She was able to rescue us by agreeing to care for our cats for two whole weeks with very short notice! Kaelyn is a great communicator and did an excellent job not only taking care of the cats, but also taking care of the house and handling some unexpected issues. Kaelyn went beyond what was expected of her and we strongly recommend her as a reliable animal caretaker!
Wow! Mary went above and beyond and our pup Cash was living his best life under her care. Communicative, responsive, and caring.
Amanda is such a wonderful person! She went above and beyond to care for my cat(s) and had excellent communication throughout the time she cared for them! I give her the highest recommendation. She has such a gift with animals and genuinely loves them. We feel so grateful that we booked with her and will reach out to her when we are in need of care in the future!
Nicole was a phenomenal pet sitter! She left me daily comments, sent pictures and videos and just went above and beyond in every way possible! She noticed pesky ants and helped with that, brought things home for enrichment, and even clipped her nails! I was able to enjoy my trip with waaaay less guilt, knowing My cat was in good hands!
Brenda is the best! She came by super last minute and saved the day to make sure our cats were taken care of!
Emma and Ryan took such great care of my cats while I was away! Sent great videos of them playing 😊 Grateful to have found trustworthy pet sitters to watch my pets 🤗
She did a great job with a high energy and sometimes difficult to control pup. Would recommend to others and will be looking to book her again for future trips!
Britny is an outstanding dog walker! She took great care of Gigi, taking her on walks and even bringing her to the dog park. She kept me updated with photos and was very communicative and flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend Britny for both dog walking and drop-in visits!
We loved having Andi take care of George! She was very communicative and professional! As a super senior cat owner, going away can be stressful. Andi was reliable and attentive to all George’s needs!
Julissa did a wonderful job caring for my cat! She was responsive, timely, kind, shared information, and most importantly took great care of my pet :) I would absolutely recommend her!
Mark follows instructions and always sends lots of pics! Our pups look comfortable and happy when Mark checks on them. Thanks, Mark!
Sydney is the greatest. Because of work, I have to travel for long periods of time, which means leaving my cat at home alone. I always worry about him and feel guilty, but Sydney truly gives me peace of mind knowing that she will take care of him in my absence. She sends great notes of each visit and plenty of photos. She is always on-time and I always come home to my house exactly as I left it! Highly recommend Sydney!
Barb was recommended to me and she did an amazing job. I enjoyed getting pictures of my cat each day while I was gone, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.
Run don’t walk to book her! She’s an excellent pet sitter, she really cares about my animals and they are always happy as can be when I return home after a day where she stopped by! You’d be lucky to have her take care of your furry fam.
Princess was wonderful with my cat who has a lot of behaviors and giving him necessary medication. She responded quickly and thoughtfully with any concerns I had.
Debbie was so sweet with updated me on Cyrus while I was out of town! Will be using her services again.
Marissa was great! She checked in and sent photos with each visit. Kitty was very happy when I returned home since she had someone to spend time with her :) I will definitely book again if I’m out of town for a long period of time!
Katarina was amazing! My booking was last minute and she was super flexible in being able to squeeze in time before the booking to come over and familiarize herself with my dog and my place. I have an older dog and she does not require a full 30-min walk so Katarina was kind enough to mix the 30-min drop-in visit with a short walk, some in house petting, put down her meal, and change the house pee pad if needed. Like she was seriously amazing. Her Rover cards always included multiple pictures and a recap on the overall visit. 10/10 would recommend Katarina to any and everyone and will definitely be rebooking her myself I. The future!
