About: I've had a love for dogs my entire life and would love to be that person for them when you are away. They are my new best friend. I have open availability to take care of your special friend. I can be an early bird or night owl just for them. Thank you In your home I will always follow your rules. That is very important to me so your pet gets the best care they possibly can. I will always reach out with questions.
“Leah took such good care of Petunia during my trip abroad. I felt I did not need to worry at all, especially since Leah gave appropriately detailed summaries of her check ins. She didn't miss anything, and has gone above and beyond with every visit. I can tell she truly cares about Petunia's well being, and that gives me great comfort as well. Thank you so much, Leah!”

“Helena is amazing! We have a very energetic GSD mix and she did great handling him on his walk and sent the cutest photos. Very communicative and put us at ease. Bear can’t wait to have her back!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising two Frenchies and a Chihuahua. I also care for loved ones’ pets when needed, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care. Since I am currently not working, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate my full attention to caring for pets. My days are focused on providing love, playtime, walks and companionship, making sure your furry friend feels happy and well cared for throughout the day and/or night. I’m available to give your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll keep up with their usual routine–feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. When the dogs are calm and resting, I will use that quiet time to tidy up and clean around the house, so everything looks even better than when you left. It’s all about keeping your pets and home happy!
About: Dogs are my happy place. I actually prefer being around dogs than people! I feel like they bring out the best in me and I help bring out the best in them. I adopted a senior dog 3 years ago and treat him like my child. I keep up his medication schedule and ensure he is always comfortable. I cook all his food to ensure he is getting only the best! I can administer eye drops, ear drops and can provide tasty treats to trick them into taking their medicine. I'm currently in between jobs and am looking to walk dogs as a way to get out of the house and also to provide me with something to do each day. I am basically available any time. I take the utmost care in my dog and will do the same for yours. I will happily set up a meet and greet upon our first booking together so that you can see my interaction with your dog. I always walk closest to the curb to ensure the dog can't run into the street and I will always cross when I see another dog coming in order to protect your pup. I live in an apartment which doesn't provide much space but I love taking dogs to the park (and dog park with your permission).
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 2013 where I was responsible for feeding, walking, grooming and giving my dog daily exercise activities. I also previously watched dogs for families and friends before apps like Rover came out. I’ve always been naturally friendly with dogs and they take a liking to me. Right now I’m available weekdays. I do work part-time as a sports coach in the afternoons. I do my best to be very present to support my wife and first born seven month old girl. I’m able to walk our fur pals whether their are crated or not with care. Our two dogs (a pure miniature Corgi and white Canaan) used to be crated for when my wife and I went to work. Eventually I worked from home so they didn’t have to be crated during the day. My wife and I moved back home with her parents so our dogs live with my mother on their property.
About: Hi! I’m Cassandra, I’ve spent more than 35 years around dogs and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve cared for all kinds, including a disabled Jack Russell, and my two beloved Boxers who are no longer with us. My 5-year-old son, Jackson, adores animals too, and together we’d love to welcome your pup into our home and treat them like family. I work from home full-time and am available every day to provide attentive, consistent care. Your pet will receive the best possible treatment and plenty of love while staying with us. I have a fenced backyard with grass, perfect for safe playtime. I also love going on walks and will make sure your pet gets lots of exercise and attention, just let me know their routine!
“Christina is great. She responded to my last minute request and was right on time the next morning. My cat is very timid, but she responded extremely well to Christina. Thanks again!!”
“Victoria is amazing and so sweet! Really fast and great communication. She took great care of my two dogs and I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need someone to drop in and check on them :) I highly recommend Victoria!!”

About: I’ve had at least one dog since I was born and have taken care of many friends and family members dogs over the years. I treat my dog like he is my child and I will do the same with yours. I live in a house with two fenced in patios and I live one block from my neighborhood dog park and I go multiple times a day with my dog. I am extremely active and typically walk 5 miles a day. Your dog will get lots of exercise; whichever you/they prefer -lots of walking or playing at the park. But they also get to have all the nap/cuddle time on the couch too :) However, I follow whatever training/rules you prefer incase you are a no couch/bed household. I take pride in being extremely communicative with you. If you want pictures and details on what they are doing regularly - you got it! Either way, I make sure when you pick them up you are filled in on when they last ate, potty, etc. I have a 20 pound terrier mix named Toby who is very active and loves to play with other dogs. If your dog does not get along with other dogs then I ask you to please not book with me as I don’t want to have to worry about separate spaces. I currently work from home and will be home to keep them company. If I need to run to the store, etc they will be left with my partner or crated (if wanted) for their safety. My home has two fenced in patios but will never leave them out there unattended. My home is very quiet and calm, no children , just my small dog.
“Veronica was wonderful! Reliable, friendly, accommodating. My cat can be a bit grumpy at times, and shy/wary of people other than me, but she managed to get some pets in, which was impressive. I would (and will) hire her again, should the occassion arise.”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I provide compassionate, loving and reliable care. I have grown up with dogs. Have a natural way with them. Every pup feels familiar to me. With years of experience in care, I’ll treat your fur baby like they’re my own family! I’m available anytime, day or night- 7 days a week to provide loving, dependable care for your fur baby. Whether it’s overnight care, daily visits or walks and drop ins, I’m very easily reachable and responsive. While in my care, I dedicate my time to taking care of the pets I’m responsible for. Whether it’s walks, feeding time, cuddles, or playtime, I’ll ensure they feel cherished! My family is small. I live with my husband who is a dog lover himself. Our son goes to UCSD, and lives on campus. When he’s home, he cuddles and loves on dogs just as much as we do. Our home is safe and convenient. Quiet neighborhood of townhomes. We have a wide open greenbelt where all the dogs go to play and walk. There are play times where the neighborhood dogs come out to frolic. However if you me fur baby is not into that, we don’t have to socialize. Can definitely tailor the experience to your dogs preferences. Your dog is my top priority! What they like, I like.

Elise was very thoughtful and communicative while taking care of not only my two cats, but my mom’s as well while we were away on a family vacation. One of my mom’s cats needs medicine and she did a great job of making sure she received it each day. Our cats are pretty picky with their wet food and she provided extra care and attention to make sure they received the food the way they like it and ate it. We appreciated the care she provided them all!

Leah does a great job taking care of my 18-year-old cat. She is reliable and friendly and has taken care of my cat several times. My cat normally will not come out from under the bed for anyone, but she will come out for Leah. I recommend her and will definitely use her again!
Huiwen was great! Communication went very well. She was flexible, she spent some time with our little puppy, I felt nervous leaving him for the first time. But she made me feel very comfortable. She took great care of our little guy and we will definitely be booking to use her services again.
Helena was amazing! She showed up right on time, kept us updated with sweet pictures and check-ins, took Bean on a fun walk, and gave him so much love and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Looking forward to having her watch Bean again.

Isabelle was the best! We rarely ever leave our dogs - they are very attached to us. Both our babies instantly took a liking to Isabelle at the meet and greet. She learned their individual routines quickly and efficiently and made them feel so comfortable. She was the sweetest and provided us with multiple updates and photos a day ♥️! Couldn’t thank her enough!
