“Brenda obviously loves her job and is very good at it. She’s extremely communicative and understanding. She gave my cat his meds and followed his special food instructions, as well as played with him. I would recommend Brenda to anyone!”

About: I was raised surrounded by animals of all kinds that brought me so much joy and knowledge. I’m comfortable with tiny insects to large farm animals. I’ve done bottle feeding and walks with young animals. I’ve moved from home but would love to continue caring for animals all around! I work in education so my summer is open for anything! Only my Sundays am I usually busy in the morning to afternoon. I’ll seek to meet your needs as best as I can! :) My services will cater to you and your pet’s needs! I’ll always want to read the room to know the pets needs, while ensuring I stick to their care-schedule and keep them fed, entertained, and well kept in a clean environment!

“Jessica took care of our cats over Christmas and we were very happy! She always took pictures and kept us updated. We’d definitely ask Jessica to watch our cats again.”

About: I've had taken care of multiple dogs from pug, beagle, and boxer all of which me and my family have taken care of since they were puppies. Currently my family has a pug, Angelo, who is 8 years old and I also take care of my cousin's beagle who is 9 years old. My cousin has trusted me with dropping in and feeding her beagle, along with feeding and playtime. I'm currently a full-time college student, who loves to be with animals and take care of them. Winding down with animals helps my mental health and with my class schedule allows me to have more time take on new challenges. For drop-ins, I would love to have a feeding schedule along with a safe environment to get to know pet and owner. Many toys and treats to play/help train pet be more comfortable in a home. In addition to helping the pet being comfortable with new people.

About: I have experience with taking care of animals since high school, I am now a 25 year old grad student ready to continue my experience! I am on summer break from my grad program at SDSU, so my currently schedule is extremely flexible. I have my availability open all summer! I am open to catering to the needs of your fur babies! I’ve been trusted with all kinds of tasks & I am sure I can take on whatever you may need.

“Stella has been so great at communicating and spending time with our babies! She’s prompt, respectful and flexible! I’m so glad we found her!!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs with major anxiety and dogs that are super rowdy and high energy. I love hiking and going on really long walks, so if you have a dog that requires more adventure I would love to bring them along. I’m really patient, caring, and good at making dogs feel comfortable and safe. I love keeping up with walks, playtime, feeding, and whatever routine they need. I’m also the type of person who will always say hi to a dog I pass by, so being around dogs is something I genuinely love. I also work another job as a housekeeper, so for an extra charge i can do some light cleaning and dusting for your house too ( I use all natural sprays)! :) I’m home for the summer, so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I’m available to give pets lots of attention, keep up with their routines, and be reliable when it comes to feedings, check ins, walks, playtime, and even hikes if they are up for it! I’m really caring and pay close attention to how pets are doing, so I always want them to feel comfortable and in good hands. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for them and make sure they get lots of attention, care, and love while you’re away!

“Sara is always amazing with my dogs during check-ins! She’s super friendly, has great communication throughout, and gave the dogs all her attention and care. My dogs are always so excited to see her!”

About: Grew up with rottweilers, great danes, labs, and pitbulls. Also spent lots of time around farm animals with my family or when I volunteer. I am currently a SDHS foster as well! I am a college student working part time so my days usually have many breaks throughout them as my classes usually arent back to back. I have the utmost respect for you and your home and want nothing more than to help you and your pet out with the help needed.

About: I am an extreme dog lover and aim to reciprocate the unconditional love they give us. I am my friends’ go to dog sitter whenever they go out of town! I work a full time hybrid job. I WFH on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. Also a full time dog mom who makes time for my doggo in any way that i can! My dog is my life. His needs go over mine and even when i watch a dog that is not mine i treat it like it is.

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and currently have one of my own, so I understand the deep bond we share with our pets. I also have years of experience with dogs—walking, feeding, playing, and overnight house sitting. What truly sets me apart is the level of medical care I’ve provided. When my late cat became ill, I had to administer subcutaneous IV fluids and oral medications daily. That experience taught me not only technical skills but also patience, gentleness, and how to comfort pets during vulnerable moments. I’m confident handling medications, understanding pet behavior, and creating a calm environment for animals of all ages and temperaments. Your pet will be in loving, capable hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets with plenty of time, energy, and attention. I’m available for house sitting and drop-ins during the week, and on weekends. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away! When I care for pets, whether in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routines and preferences to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and keep a calm, pet-friendly environment. I always prioritize their well-being, monitor behavior closely, and provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.

“Stefanie helped us with a couple lunchtime drop ins for our 5 month old lab pup Evie. Stefanie was timely and sent updates throughout the visits. She also included fun photos and left detailed notes on her visits. Thanks again Stefanie!”

About: Throughout my life I have been surrounded by pets, especially dogs. Through this experience, I have become accustomed to taking care of them, whether they are large or small. I was always the first person to be called when neighbors were headed out of town. I am always down to exercise with animals, supply food and water, and make sure their experience of life is maximized. I am a full time student so school does take up a majority of my days, although I am totally open any time from Fridays through Sundays. My experience caring for pets has been your typical walk, making sure they are eating the proper nutritional diet at the right times, and allowing pets to lose any energy that has been built up. Animals are such a vital part of life so we must love and care for them just as they do to us!

About: In addition to caring for my own lovely cat and senior pup, I have pet sat for friends and family members regularly for the past 10+ years. I have experience with fur babies with a range of quirks, behaviors, and medical needs, so I am prepared for anything that comes my way. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for critters, especially during the upcoming summer break! I am very careful and safety-conscious, so you can be sure I will leave your home secure and comfortable for your pets when I visit.

“Caity is an awesome sitter!! I knew the moment she met the cats that they liked her and they are pretty picky with people. After that moment we fully trusted her and she continued to affirm our trust! She sent detailed notes and took adorable photos of our kitties. She even gave us some ideas for our boy cats pooping issues. Highly recommend and would book again!!”

About: I grew up with 2 large dogs in the house at all times, they were very high energy often needing multiple walks or runs a day. I dog sat for various neighbors throughout high school and my first job at 14 was an under the table gig as an assistant for a local dog trainer for two summers. I work part time at a surf shop however the shifts are never more than 6 hours and don’t make it difficult to attend pets often. Your dog will be visited often typically every 4-5 hours (will be more often if the dog is crated or if the owner request) I am comfortable house sitting as well. When just pet sitting I usually visit the house 3-5 times a day, the first typically around 7-8am to feed your pup and hang out with them for 20-30 mins. The second is usually midday between 11-2 (depending on my work schedule), for my second visit I’ll take your pup on a walk (or run if requested) and then typically hang out with your dog at the house for up to a few hours while I do internship work on my computer or read a book. (On a busier day this longer visit will be spilt into two or three shorter ones). And lastly visting your pup for 20-30 mins to feed them again and use the bathroom before night around 7-9pm. I know everyone has different ways of caring for their pups, I’m very adaptable for whatever your dog may need

“Callahan was wonderful as a cat sitter in every way! She responded right away and booked at very short notice. Our cat warmed up to her right away. Callahan sent great photos and communicated very thoughtfully and enthusiastically. We are really grateful and look forward to booking again with her!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes working with Border Collies and Great Pyrenees in a ranch setting, where they herded and guarded sheep, as well as providing professional care at a busy dog daycare. I also have extensive experience caring for large-breed family dogs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I believe every pet deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. My goal is to make every walk or visit a positive experience so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. Thanks for stopping by my profile! I work part-time caring for dogs professionally, so spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy every day. I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. I may also be available on my workdays depending on my schedule. I appreciate at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my day and give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether your companion is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each animal’s unique personality, communication style, and routines so they feel comfortable and understood. Every dog is different, so my first priority is building trust. When we first meet, I give each dog the time and space they need while I observe their personality, body language, and comfort level. From there, I adjust my approach to match what helps them feel safe and confident. I believe in treating every dog with kindness, respect, and clear boundaries. I use positive reinforcement—including praise, encouragement, and treats when appropriate—to reinforce good behavior. Rather than relying on punishment, I focus on redirecting unwanted behaviors and setting dogs up for success in a calm, consistent way. Whether we’re playing at home or out on a walk, safety always comes first. I enjoy interactive play while maintaining a safe environment, and I tailor each walk to the individual dog. Some dogs are happiest walking calmly at my side, while others enjoy taking the lead, and I’m happy to adapt to what is safest and most comfortable for them. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel secure, understood, and genuinely excited to spend time with me. When I enter a dog’s home, I remember that I’m stepping into their familiar space. My first priority is helping them feel safe and comfortable with my presence. I allow each dog to approach at their own pace, paying close attention to their body language and personality so I can build trust before asking anything of them. Once a dog is comfortable, I love engaging them through safe, interactive play that matches their energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to provide both physical exercise and positive companionship while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries. I strive to leave every dog feeling secure, respected, and excited to see me again. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying our time together. I don’t expect dogs to adapt to me—I adapt to the dog while providing clear, consistent boundaries.
