I attend Grossmont College as a Ceramics student, to further my hobby into a future part time career. We have two boston terriers at home, who are 4 and 6. i have experience caring for disabled pups as i had a 16 year old dachshund who had been paralyzed. while i don’t have a cat currently, i grew up with cats and love them dearly. I’ve pet sit for neighbors and friends since i was 16, watching dogs and cats of various sizes, energies, and behaviors. I’m available for overnight stays if you’re headed out of town, or a drop by visit if you need someone to feed and play with your baby while away! I hope you’ll consider me to watch your furry friend 🩷 I am a part time student at grossmont college, and grossmont adult school. Both are evening attendance. Class duration: Monday/Wednesday: 5:45pm-8:35pm Tuesday/Thursdays: 2pm-8pm Friday-Sunday: Open I’m happy to arrange a meeting with you prior to the job to see the home, and meet the animals.

Overnight stays: I will bring my own food, i just ask to use the fridge :) Im okay with sleeping on the couch! Your home will be tidied up before i leave; you’ll find it just the way you left it.

“Jamie did an amazing job of taking care of our home and our 3 pets - even the older guy with a rigid and inconvenient schedule. I appreciated Jamie checking in for regular updates and communicating with me as we coordinated travel times. Very grateful to return home to 3 happy and safe fur babies!”

About: I have personal life experience with all ages of animals. I will care for them all with love. I understand that patience is the best communication. I’m available full time for in home care/ visits/ walking. Any additional care upon request. I’m experienced/ available with overnight care as well as long hour days. I try to understand the animal first. I recognize patterns and see when an animal is uncomfortable. I try to aide in their comfort and provide whatever is needed at the time. If you have specific instructions, I can follow them precisely.

About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals has given me a deep understanding of their care, behavior, and needs. Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals, including canines, equines, goats, reptiles, and arachnids. My current "fur family" includes four dogs—Emma and Levi (Border Collies), Strauss and Mazi (Belgian Malinois)—as well as two cats, Ferb (Domestic Shorthair) and Phineas (Domestic Longhair), and two horses, Chester (Quarter Horse x Belgian Cross) and Maggy (Thoroughbred). Throughout my life, I have gained hands-on experience in a variety of animal care tasks, from feeding, watering, and providing exercise, to administering medical care, cleaning, and conducting regular health checks. I have also cared for animals in various settings, including on my property and in clients' homes, ensuring their well-being and comfort while their owners are away. My availability for pet care services is highly flexible and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of both you and your pets. Whether it's daily visits or last-minute requests, I prioritize making myself available to ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Providing reliable and consistent care is my main focus, and I understand the importance of being adaptable to your schedule. Your pets' well-being is always my top priority. I take great pride in providing exceptional care for animals, treating each one as if they were my own family. Whether it’s ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, keeping their living spaces clean and comfortable, or offering lots of love and attention, I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for all of them. This commitment to high-quality care extends to all pets I look after. When entrusted with your animals, I will approach their care with the same level of attention, compassion, and respect. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and routines, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. With me, you can rest assured knowing your pets are in loving hands.

“Lexis was great with our puppy! Came on time, asked appropriate questions, and was fantastic with our little guy! Will definitely rehire! Thanks!”

“Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”

“Great experience. My 3 dogs are each on more than one medication and Maureen did a great job administering them. She kept us posted with photos and videos.”

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a child. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’ll go above and beyond for animals. I’m patient, strong, caring, and I understand the attention that each animal needs. I’ll treat your pets like my own and my fur babies are family. I understand the stress of leaving your animals so I hope to gain the trust of you and your animals! I work from home so I have the flexibility of being with your pets for most of the day. I currently work from home and have the flexibility of caring for animals whether it’s a drop in visit, multiple walks, or day care. I’ll be there. I have two friendly dogs of my own and my cat is as sassy as a dog. I have a condo with a large grassy area for walks and I take my own dogs on a 3 mile walk around the house.

“We had a wonderful experience with Gabrielle!! She was extremely responsible, clean, attentive, and overall wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!”

About: I love dogs. Well, animals in general. I’ve always had a passion for them. No one will treat your pet with as much respect as I do. So much so, I might even get a little too attached to these animals haha. But that’s why I wanted to do this. I mean, getting paid to take care of cute dogs? Talk about enjoying your job am I right. I will have no less than a great time with dogs. I can’t wait to see these beautiful animals. I might also bring my dog as well to socialize him around other doggos as well. I hope you all understand that I am definitely going to be the best. I work 25 hours a week and am a full-time college student. However, my schedule is flexible and I’ll be 100% available for these babies and they’ll definitely be in the best hands with me. I have a fenced patio so the doggos can’t escape and I’m always extremely careful with doors and gates anything like that. I’m always careful.

About: CNA and longtime dog owner with 6 years of experience providing dependable, compassionate care. I prioritize safety, comfort, and each pet's need when needed. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate both planned and last-minute bookings whenever possible. As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and showing up on time. Wether your pup needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra love while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the same care and attention I'd give my own dog. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member <3. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own by following each owner's routine and instructions carefully. I'm committed to providing dependable, attentive care and making sure every walk and visit is a safe, positive experience of for your pet.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was about 7 years old. I’ve owned or have pet sat for all ages, sizes, and breeds. From puppies, to 15 year old doggos, I’ve got your back! I am currently a student, so making a couple of pup friends sounds like a great way to spend time outside, get active, and be helpful! I have a fenced yard and two cats. I always walk dogs on a leash, on the sidewalk, in well lit, pet-friendly/safe areas. I have multiple dog parks nearby that I would be open to taking your dog to (upon request only).

“Vince is fantastic! He was on time, followed instructions easily, is very sweet and LuLu really liked him😊 I'll definitely rebook! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

About: I absolutely love taking care of my dogs and I treat any pets just as I do my own. I was especially drawn to Rover after long-term dog sitting these 2 wonderful Dobermans, it made me want to create even more special bonds just like that. I am genuinely so happy spending time around animals… I have always taken up dog sitting opportunities for family or friends and now I would like to extend my love out to your pets as well!🩷🫂 I am dedicated to giving your pup the best care possible. I am super flexible and currently offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week and on weekends!! Check my calendar for specific availability. I am used to incorporating 1-3 dogs + a cat into a daily routine (for several years). I really enjoy long walks and playing outside or even napping with my dogs. I have unconditional love ready to give to any pet… you are doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to get to know and love your fur baby🥹🫶 I will always make sure that your pet and I are both respectful of house rules while still having fun. I do try to work on small behavioral training such as sit and stay on a daily basis. I will always be on top of it to make sure your dog stays on schedule and give endless cuddles so they stay happy as well.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around pets, caring for them with love and dedication. After my own dog, Techa, passed away, I realized I still have so much love to give, even if I’m not quite ready to adopt again. That became part of my own journey with pets, and it’s why I opened my home to welcome and care for other families’ dogs. I don’t just stay home with them, I take them out, observe them closely, and tune into what they need and what makes them feel happy and safe. I have a natural intuition with dogs and pay close attention to their behavior and energy so they feel understood and comfortable. I also love sending lots of photos and videos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away, just like I would want for my own dog. . Be prepared for some cute photo bombing! Because I work remotely, your dog will have constant companionship, care, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m available for weekends and extended stays, and I always send daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. I have a fenced yard with a small garden, and there are no other animals in the house, so your pet will receive my full attention. I believe animals need daily outings to stay healthy and happy, so I offer at least two walks a day, either short or long depending on their needs. Playtime and affection are also essential parts of my care routine. If I care for your pet at their home, I make sure to follow their regular routine, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also send daily photos and videos to owners so they can relax knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for

“Brandy was wonderful. We left a list for her to know Peanuts routine . Brandy did everything! Peanut seemed very happy and content when we arrived home, so I know she was well taken care of. We would absolutely have Brandy watch again!”
