Pet Sitting Cortez Hill

About: I’ve been catsitting consistently for the past four years and grew up around dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I take the time to build trust with each pet and care for them as if they were my own. I currently work Monday-Friday in the afternoons-evenings, so I am available on weekdays in the mornings and I am very flexible on Saturdays and Sundays I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar space and keep their normal routines. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have clean litter or potty breaks, get playtime and attention, and feel safe while their owners are away. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d give my own.

“Hanna is so, so great! My tripod dog took to her immediately when they met, and she is so sweet with him. She was flexible with timing, gave my pup cuddles, and took him out for a potty break! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter/walker.”

About: I’m a big animal person! I’ve always grown up with a number of different animals that, of course, includes cats and dogs. I’ve dog sat puppies, teenage, and senior dogs alike! I started dog sitting for friends and family when I was about 16, and have always lived with dogs. I super understand how fur babies are just like family and have a big heart for them! I’m currently a full time student and I work part time. I have been having an itch to spend time with dogs because they just make me happy to be honest! Life can be stressful, so I’d consider caring for your pups a stress relief and a middle booster for sure. I can’t exactly have my own dog at the moment, so I thought pet sitting might be the next best thing! I would follow the owners guidelines and make sure to take care of wolf their fur babies exactly how they would! Playing with them, feeding them, taking them out, and giving them cuddles whatever it may be! I have a cat who is my best friend so I understand how important these fur babies are to us!

About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!

“Angela is awesome! She helped us out with last minute care and was nothing short of extraordinary! We will definitely be reaching out to her again when in the area.”

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’m happy to provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for—and for you to feel completely confident while you’re away! I also work fully remote and I am available during the weekdays! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while still maintaining a consistent routine. Because I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also flexible with different schedules and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away! I’ve been caring for coworkers’, friends’, and family members’ pets for over 8 years. I don’t have pets of my own, so I’m able to give your pet my full attention. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment while following their normal routine and your care instructions closely!

About: I love spending time with my 13 year old pug, Yoshi. I enjoy meeting all of the dogs, and I understand deeply how important pets are to us. I am currently working part-time, and that leaves me plenty of time through the week to get out, enjoy the beautiful weather and hang out with your dog! Having had a variety of dogs throughout my life, I understand that every dog, and their needs, are unique. So wether yours needs slow walks in the grass or long walks downtown, I'll get those paws moving!

“Jennifer is amazing! Took great care of our cat while we were out of town. Highly recommend!!”

“I booked Aleksandra for two drop ins. Arranging key drop off was easy. She followed directions well and made sure my auto cat feeders and fountain were working. She also gave my clingy elderly cat a cuddle! She even got an action shot of my skittish young cat, I didn’t expect her to even see him lol. Would book again.”

“Roni is a great professional sitter. She took such great care of our pets, and they looked genuinely happy and content. Our sweet Jerry Berry felt comfortable and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

About: My approach to pet sitting is based upon knowledge, compassion, communication and trust. This sets a peaceful tone for both the pet and their owner. I'm a member of PSI (Pet Sitters International) and have taken many courses including dog body language, pet sitting essentials and pet first aid. I have a Pet CPR Certificate from the American Red Cross as well. I enjoy pet sitting in the clients home where I can create a customized approach to caring for the needs of their pet and their owner. I also excel at dog walking. When walking your dog, I pay close attention to how they're interacting with the environment and always keep their health and safety as a priority. I look forward to working with you and your beloved pet! I am available 7 days a week 7am-8pm with over-nights being an option as well. I'm happy to work with you on finding the right schedule for the both of us. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I first learn the habits of the pet from the owner. This includes: their feeding schedule, medications needed, hiding places, their behavior toward people and other animals, potty habits etc. From there I create an environment of comfort for the pet making sure they are played with, fed, walked and rested. During this time, I stay in contact with the owner and update them with notes and photos of their pet.

“Alexia was so nice with our big boy! We were gone for an entire week and she stopped by twice a day. He got pets, brushes, walks, and fetch time!! Thank you Alexia!! Also, loved the pictures she took of our Wallace for us.”

“Alena did a great job watching our cat! She was super communicative and sent us great photos during her visits. Our cat is very shy but she was super accommodating and friendly and made sure to give him the space he needed! We felt reassured with our cat being in her care while we were away. We will definitely be re-booking with her!!! :)”

About: Hi! I’m Amy, a dependable and attentive dog lover who understands how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pet. I have a senior dog of my own, Sammy, so I’m very comfortable with the routines, patience, and extra care that some dogs need, whether that’s slower walks, medication routines, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m active, responsible, and love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to tailor care to your dog’s needs, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, or relaxed companionship at home. I’ll care for your dog the way I’d want someone to care for mine: safely, lovingly, and with lots of attention to their unique personality and routine. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I do have a standing commitment on Monday and Wednesday mornings that takes me away for a few hours, but outside of that I have a lot of flexibility and can often accommodate a variety of schedules with advance notice. I prioritize safe, attentive, and individualized care for every dog. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, temperament, triggers, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m mindful of leash safety, secure doors and gates carefully, monitor for signs of stress or discomfort, and make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and a calm environment. I also understand that every dog is different, some want lots of activity and play, while others do better with a slower pace, extra patience, or a more structured routine. My goal is always to make dogs feel comfortable!

“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: I started by taking care of my moms 4 dogs when she would go on vacations and needed a dog sitter. That really taught me how to feed them efficiently and when to take them outside to go potty. From there I learned how to hang out with them and play with them efficiently. I am a college student with classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I am available for the entire day and night. On Wednesday and Friday I'm available at night, Monday I'm not because I have a night class. Staying over night is not a problem, along with check ins during the days even on school days. I love dogs and am really good at feeding them, taking them outside, and playing with them. I'm not a trainer, but someone who is good at taking care of them while you are away. My mom has 4 small dogs so I'm very familiar with smaller dogs, but I have also watched bigger dogs as well.

“Kaitlyn was extremely communicative, punctual, kind, good-humored, and got along very well with my cat. My cat seemed well cared for when I got back from my two week trip and everything was tidy and in its place. I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kaitlyn!”

About: I've been the proud momma of 2 different lab mixes and many cats! I have experience pet sitting in the DC area including check-ins and walks! I am currently getting established in La Jolla, CA after moving from Washington DC, so my schedule is quite open! I'm looking to spend up to 20 hours a week caring for little fuzzy friends. Gentle and empathetic care of animals is super important. I love getting to know each pets personality and needs so that I can make them feel safe and happy by giving anything from quiet and space to pets and kisses!

“Sandra is great with my basset hounds. They were not happy about getting their bath at first (being the spoiled children they are), but she has charmed them and now they are happy to see her!”

“Nicholas took fantastic care of Pete! He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures. We appreciate the time he took to play with him while we were out of town.”
