“Isabella was a life saver for us during our visit to California. We last minute needed a sitter and she was available and was great with both my pups. Would book again”

“Alexandra was fantastic!! Great care taker, super responsive, very flexible on time (she accepted the job even tho i gave zero advance notice!). Plus she sent us pics of our dog proactively. Thanks Alexandra!!”

About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog. I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!
“Lara was absolutely the best at taking care of our pup Perseus. He got along well with her, she knew how to make him comfortable in a new place, and she sent pictures and videos during the day care.”


“Cali loved hanging out with Ashley and her Yorkie’s! Also, Ashley was very communicative, sent me photos throughout the day and was very accommodating. Cali was so tired when I picked her up which always means she had the best time playing and being active throughout the day.”


“Chau was amazing with our elderly pup. She was super communicative and easy to coordinate with, and obviously knows her stuff when it comes to dogs. We have already booked with her again!”

“Zannah was a kind and loving dog sitter for Tula! We were in town for a conference and needed help for a couple of hours during the weekend. Our 1-year old puppy ended up having a last minute, adolescent doggie event - and Zannah rolled with it in a patient and caring manner. She is very in-tune with dogs and respects them! Also - if you are staying downtown, she is in a very convenient location. I highly recommend her for your furry friends!”


About: Had my Golden Retriever over 14.5 years. We are very patient, around the house all day, and have some toys and treats that our sweet Bailey girl left behind we’d like to share! Will take your pup on walks, make sure they are fed appropriately and give lots of complimentary belly rubs. Both of us are home a majority of the day. We are active. Happy to take your pets on walks or any outdoor activities they may enjoy. Have a large condo so plenty of space. Can crate pet if you’d like but am flexible as long as pet is comfortable in our home. Have separate rooms and areas to put pets in if there are multiple or need their space.
“Emily was such a great communicator. It put us at peace knowing he was with someone detail oriented and flexible to accommodate his needs. Will definitely book again thanks!!”


“We have used Melissa this last few weeks for day care and we have never been happier with a dog sitter. She is amazing and the real satisfaction is when our baby is clawing and jumping at the door to see her when we go to drop her off. Thanks Melissa for being a great friend to our baby girl.”

“Camille was amazing with my mini dachshund puppy! She was super flexible with my long work hours and change of schedule. Sent pictures and updates throughout the day and an hour by hour note of everything they did at daycare that day 🥺 she spent so much time playing with him and taking him on walks even during her work day, I know he felt loved!”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I understand that every furry friend has their own personality, needs, and routines. I provide dependable, loving care so pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I work remotely from home everyday and I hardly ever leave my place. I have a very flexible routine and will sure to be available for your pet’s needs My home is very safe, with lots of space. I normally enjoy going on long walks with dogs, but my home has a big outdoor area if preferred to keep your pet, securely, inside
“Thank you, Leah, for giving Bodhi a chance! He is just scared but you gave him the space & understanding that he needs in order to warm up and be comfortable w/a new person in his life. :) He really likes coming to see you!”

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available. (I understand sometimes things happen last minute and you need a trustworthy person to step in and care for your pet).

“Silke and Jerry were kind and very communicative. It's clear that they love dogs and they were able to understand and work with Amon's separation anxiety. They played with Amon a lot and I think a good time was had by all :).”

“Sara was fantastic! She accepted Monty at the last minute after another Rover sitter canceled. Sara took Monty for 3 daytime outings. Monty enjoyed the walks and her attention. She was very accommodating to our schedule. Definitely would schedule her again.”

“Michelle provided such great care of my little furbaby. It was Chippy’s first stay with anyone, and she made me feel so at ease, communicated with me, and sent pictures! Chippy says “woof woof” which means he had fun!! 🐶 thank you Michelle! 🥰”

About: Pet Care Experience / What Sets Me Apart I provide calm, attentive care and treat every dog like an individual. I’ve been around dogs most of my life growing up with them and living with dogs owned by family and roommates, so I’m comfortable with daily routines, reading body language, and creating a low-stress environment. What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and communication. I follow care instructions closely, keep owners updated with photos and messages, and focus on making dogs feel safe and comfortable, especially in a new environment. I’m a great fit for well-mannered dogs, seniors, or dogs that prefer a relaxed setting rather than a high-energy group environment. I’m happy to accommodate specific routines, administer basic oral medications, and adjust care to meet each dog’s needs. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available throughout the day to care for pets, including walks, playtime, and feeding time I prioritize a safe and comfortable environment for every pet. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets are supervised, given plenty of attention, and kept away from hazards. I follow your instructions closely and create a calm, trusting atmosphere so your pet feels secure and happy
“Leigh was amazing! I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I was worried about getting a dog sitter for Pierre, particularly out of town, but it was phenomenal. She made the entire experience completely stress-free. She gave frequent updates and my sweet boy really enjoyed spending time with her.”

Nathalia and Michael were wonderful sitters. Nathalia was very communicative and ensured she had all of the necessary information to take the best care of Cleo. Cleo became attached to Michael and will miss him very much. She lext their house a very happy and tired puppy! They took excellent care of my baby and I will definitely ask them to watch Cleo again.

Booked with Jeremy for a last-minute day trip to San Diego. He was responsive, easy to work with, and took great care of my highly anxious Australian Shepherd. Huckleberry seemed more settled than usual afterward and looked like he genuinely enjoyed his day. I’d happily book with Jeremy again.

We found our San Diego sitter! Isabella took great care of Charlie & Charlotte. They had a great time snuggling with her and playing with Leilani. She kept us updated with their activities and really watched them like her own. 5/5 strongly recommend! We will be back soon, Auntie Isabella!

Zannah was a kind and loving dog sitter for Tula! We were in town for a conference and needed help for a couple of hours during the weekend. Our 1-year old puppy ended up having a last minute, adolescent doggie event - and Zannah rolled with it in a patient and caring manner. She is very in-tune with dogs and respects them! Also - if you are staying downtown, she is in a very convenient location. I highly recommend her for your furry friends!

Our anxious beagle had a great day with Sophie & Hugh! Their adorable dog Monte got along well with our girl, Luna, and she soon became very comfortable. Sophie & Hugh sent photos and updates during the day of how Luna was doing. We’ll definitely use them again to watch our fur baby!

If you’re in the downtown area are looking for somebody in the downtown area. Cara was really good. She was able to take care of Samara my dog very well making sure she took her on walks very periodically. More than other sitters that I have experienced. She will make your dog feel like one of hers while keeping you updated throughout the day. Cara provided pictures and text update's if you’re looking for a sitter, Cara is perfect.

We did a doggy daycare with Kimberly. Kimberly was very flexible with pickup/drop-off times and very responsive to messages. Our pup had a great time! He was very comfortable and had fun playing with Kimberly. We’re looking forward to our boarding stay with Kimberly.

Came into town for a mini staycation but wanted to watch a baseball game and needed a dog sitter. I reached out to Jerry & Silky and they were the perfect fit. First time booking for a dog sitter too!! I dropped off a happy dog and picked up a happy dog. She was cuddled and went on a walk. I enjoyed all the photos too to show it!

Shane and Chris were amazing with my dog Bennett! I literally booked them the night before on a very unusual circumstance where I needed help last minute and they were incredibly accommodating! Their house is a dog’s paradise and Bennett enjoyed having the yard to play in! They were incredibly professional, and I would highly recommend them for exceptional and thorough dog care!
