Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Cortez Hill, San Diego, CA

“Christine exceeded our expectations!! It was our first time using rover so we we’re a little nervous but as soon as I got the first daily review from Christine I knew our Bug was in good hands. I will definitely be requesting Christine to watch our kitty from here on out ?”

“- [ ] Working with Petunia is a total pleasure! We have 2 older dogs, one of which is a very excitable poodle, and Petunia's patience and kindness are so apparent when handling animals. She’s exactly who you want greeting your animals when you’re not there! - [ ] Petunia has made us feel so at ease and relaxed with our animals in her care, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She is always on time, communicative, reliable, and our dogs are so happy to see her! So are we! Highly recommend Petunia and her services if you want top notch care!!”

“5 stars all the way around! Rover is so easy to use and makes the whole process seamless from finding local service providers to scheduling and payment. I found a wonderful and attentive cat sitter in Alena G.! I asked her to come by and make sure my cat was okay and give her some love, and she absolutely did that and took photos of each visit. I highly recommend her, and am going to book her now for my next vacation before you do 😉”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life I have lots of experience with larger breed dogs as well as smaller breeds. I’m particularly good with larger breeds but love all pets just the same. I love to teach dogs new tricks take them for jogs and absolutely adore play time. I believe in positive reinforcement for training and maintaining a calm demeanor. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend:) I work Monday-Friday 730am to 3:00pm and have weekends off. I’m more than happy to stop by before and after work and all day weekends. With my husband away in the military I have lots of free time and taking care of pets is a very fulfilling way to spend my time. I take pets on multiple walks a day to ensure proper mental stimulation I feel it is very important to make sure dogs are fulfilled to avoid destructive behavior. I believe positive reinforcement with treats rather than punishment is the best way to teach pets good habits.

About: I’ve lived with animals almost my entire life. I’ve had cats, rabbits, dogs, goats, and more. I volunteer at a horse rescue and I love to spend my spare time with fur babies. I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well. I am currently working remote so I have a lot of flexibility in my work schedule. If you have a question about a specific time feel free to message me :) I am happy to care for your pet in any way that you need. I am happy to play with them, walk them, feed, administer medicine, etc. Whatever you need I am happy to provide.

“David is a great man! He took care of my puppy like it was his own. My dog was recovering from a sickness and couldn’t be boarded(to protect other dogs). He had medication he was taking to help. David came and helped him through it! I am BEYOND grateful for the services that he provided. He sent plenty of photos and videos so that I can track my puppy’s progress. He was very communicative the entire time! Easily, my go-to sitter!! Highly recommend his services!”

About: Hi there! I am total animal lover who treats every pet like my own. Whether it’s belly rubs, fun walks, or cuddle time on the couch, I’m here to make your fur baby feel safe, and loved while you’re away! Big or small, shy or playful— I’ve got patience, energy, and lots of love to give! 🐾💛 I can’t promise I won’t be sad when they go back home… I work night shifts on the weekends, typically Friday through Sunday nights. My shifts usually run from late evening to early morning hours. During the weekdays (Monday–Thursday), I’m off and available during the day and evening. I adjust my sleep schedule as needed to stay well-rested and reliable, and I make sure to prioritize any commitments I take on with plenty of time and energy! The same way you care for your pet at home is how I’ll care for them at mine! With love, comfort, and their usual routine to help them feel safe and happy!

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life -- both my own dogs and as the go-to sitter for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Across my extensive time caring for dogs, I have gained experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am particularly good with nervous or timid dogs, and I am very comfortable with dogs who have special medical needs. Last year I had to say goodbye to my own greatly beloved dog after two years of very intense cancer care. While I am not ready for a new dog of my own yet, I am eager to shower other people's dogs with affection and care. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog care most days. On days listed as available, I am able to spend almost all of the time at home with the dog(s). I do not currently have any other animals in the home, and your dog will receive my full attention! I have a wide variety of dog beds for them to try out and toys for them to play with.

About: I truly love dogs — they’re my favorite thing in the world! I've rescued several dogs from bad conditions, so I understand how to care for pups even with special needs, give medicine when needed, and be patient and gentle. I respect every dog's space and let them enjoy their walks at their own pace. I'm very attentive to details and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work from home, so I have open availability and plenty of time to take care of your dog with attention, love, patience and dedication. I’m happy to take care of dogs in their own home. I always follow their feeding, treats, and walking schedules exactly as instructed. I spend quality time with them — playing, brushing, giving gentle massages, and making sure they have fresh water at all times. I can also help with baths, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and flea checks.

About: I’ve been caring for animals most my life. Prior to enlisting in the military I had a Pitt/Mastiff mix, so safe to say the larger breeds do not scare me. I’ve learned the bigger the dog the bigger baby they are lol. Im transitioning out of the Navy right now and my work schedule is very minimal! I’m available most afternoons and for any evening or overnight needs. My current residence does not accommodate pets but I am mobile for all of your in home needs! I find it best not to take the babies out of their environment if not necessary anyways (:

About: Hi, I’m Adam! I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with two dogs who taught me early on how rewarding it is to care for pets. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic kittens to senior cats and dogs needing a gentler touch. I’ve personally cared for my cat who had chronic kidney disease, so I’m confident with giving medications, managing special diets, and recognizing subtle changes in health or behavior. Whether your pet needs playtime, a slow walk, or just quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I treat every animal like they’re my own and genuinely enjoy building trust and connection with each one I meet. I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, which means I can easily accommodate a wide range of needs, whether it’s daytime visits, evening care, or weekend stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. To clarify for overnight visits, the overnight rate includes me coming to your home in the evening, staying the night, and leaving in the morning (approximately 8 hrs total). If 24-hr coverage is desired, the rate will be $450/day. I believe a pet is most comfortable in the space they are familiar with, and to keep them comfortable I am happy to spend as much time with them as they need. Whether it's a few hours or overnight, I'm happy to cater to their needs.

“What a wonderful experience! It was my first time using Rover, so I was nervous going in, but after our first meet & greet, I felt confident that my 3 cats would be in good hands with Jezreel. She provided detailed updates on each cat and was very communicative. My cats are on the shy side, and my girl Gizmo typically hides from all strangers, but she felt comfortable enough to come out when Jezreel was over. It was so heartwarming to receive the photo updates of my cats playing and looking happy. Thank you so much, Jezreel!”

“Sofya sent lots of pictures and was very quick and responsive for my doggie. My pup is a bit harder to introduce to new people as he is older and he was super sweet with her! Says a lot about how she treats them.”

About: I watch all my friends dogs and cats all the time. They love me and I love them. Many people call me a dog/cat whisperer. There's a secure calmness within me that I think they all connect and feel comfortable with. I'm currently working part time and from home so my schedule is pretty wide open. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups(or cats etc). As long as it's ok with the owner, I generally take the dogs wherever I go. I hate leaving them alone unless absolutely necessary. Especially love walking them around town and taking them to the dog park. And cats I am very patient with, if needed and eventually they will approach me. If not needed, I will pet them all day:)

About: As someone who has several furry family members, I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the care of someone you can trust. I love being able to fill that role as needed, whether it's while you're away at work or while you're away traveling. My pets love a predictable routine, so I recognize how important that can be for many pets. I find it really meaningful to help with maintaining your pets' routines as much as possible while you're away and unable to do so. I'm lucky enough to be completely remote with work and have a couple free hours throughout the day most days. I want to use those free hours in a productive/active way if possible, which is why I thought offering pet care might be a great way to make use of that time. I'll strive to do my best to meet your pets' feeding/play/walking needs whenever possible. I totally get the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in the care of someone new. I also know it takes time to build trust and safety between pets and people that are new to them; I'll do my best to initially provide some extra time/availability to build this relationship with your pet/pets.

“Aaron provides excellent service. Very active and attentive to your furry friend and exceeds expectations and goes above and beyond. Takes advantage of time with proper training.”

“Bonnie gave me so much peace of mind while I was away! She sent me detailed updates, daily pictures, and answered all my questions. My cat doesn’t really like meeting new people but he warmed up to Bonnie and I could tell from the pictures that he felt comfortable with her. I am very grateful for Bonnie and her care!”

“Mariah was an incredible sitter for my cat! She was responsive, flexible, and friendly, sending plenty of pics/videos and keeping my cat happy while I was gone. She was super careful about safety-related issues and asked important questions to make sure my cat would be happy and healthy. Mariah was easy and enjoyable to work with, and I would definitely ask her to watch my cat again!”
