“Jane is an amazing dog sitter. She is very patient and caring with our 14 year blind dog. She goes the extra mile to ensure she is well taken care of. This is our 2nd time using Jane and can’t recommend her enough.”

“Second time's the charm. I really appreciate Brenda's willingness to come out and sit our cats once again. She's very responsible, always sends photos after each appointment, and made sure to inform us any time she changed the water or had to make another purchase fir the cats midway through the period. Will definitely consider her again next time I'm out if town.”

“Brooklyn was great with my two dogs! One of my pups has a hard time warming up to new people and Brooklyn did great with her, appreciate her patience! When I was worried about my pups after the earthquake she went right over to check on them and ease my worries.”

“Rebecca was a great cat sitter, I’d highly recommend! She was very communicative and did so well with our cats, even the shy one liked her. Thank you so much!”

“Audrey took such good care of our two kitties. It was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about leaving our boys in care of someone we didn't know. But when we met Audrey, she made us very comfortable and answered all our questions. We loved the updates and photos she sent us on our trip. And both of our cats warmed up to her by the end with purrs! (Even from our shyest one). We'd definitely use her again - your fur babies will be in great hands!”

About: Hi, I'm Kaylae! For over 15 years, I’ve been the go-to person friends, family, and neighbors trust to walk and care for their dogs—whether small, large, high-energy, or shy. I’ve had the joy of working with a wide variety of breeds, and I personally own a Great Dane and a Frenchie, so I’m very familiar with dogs who need both special attention and regular, structured walks. Because of my reliability and genuine love for animals, I’ve always had people recommending me to others. Now that I’ve transitioned into a full-time nonprofit role, I’m finally carving out time to offer dog walking and sitting more consistently—something I’ve always loved doing but didn’t always have time for before. Whether your pup needs a quick stroll, some extra midday exercise, or patient, gentle care, I’m here to help. I pride myself on being attentive, trustworthy, and flexible to meet each dog’s unique needs. Let me know how I can support you and your furry Friend! I currently am working from home on east coast time Monday through Friday and am available after 2:30 pm or during my lunch hour if the destination is 10 minutes or less drive from my residence. I am also available most weekends as well as most holidays. I take pet care seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, routine, and attention to each animal's unique needs. At home, I fully care for my own dogs—including a Great Dane and a French Bulldog—so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, medication schedules, and how to handle different energy levels or temperaments. I’m extremely cautious around meal times to avoid conflict between pets and I closely monitor for any signs of illness or distress. I also work from home, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs throughout the day and adjust care as needed. When walking dogs, I never take them out if the pavement is too hot or conditions are unsafe. I use harnesses for better handling and security and I’m always aware of the environment—especially around unfamiliar or reactive dogs. I’ve also been praised for my patience and gentle approach with shy or timid dogs, helping them feel safe and eventually enjoy their walk or playtime. For puppies, I’m extra vigilant—watching for anything they might chew or get into, and making sure playtime is fun but safe. Whether your dog needs structure, affection, a slow introduction, or a burst of play, I’m confident in adapting to their needs and making sure they’re well cared for in a calm, loving environment.

“Sharlet took great care of the dogs! She let me book her with short notice and did an excellent job. She stayed longer than necessary just to play with the dogs and give them some love. When I came home they were so happy.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was eight years old, when I got my first soul pet, Mimi. She was my best friend, and I was lucky to share 19 beautiful years with her. Since then, I’ve lived with and helped raise six more dogs, including my sweet Luna, who we adopted during the pandemic. There’s nothing I love more than spending time with dogs, and it would truly be an honor to care for and bond with yours. I bring years of hands-on experience, deep affection, and a calm, responsible approach to every dog I meet! I’m a graduate student at SDSU studying public health, so I’m definitely available during the evenings and weekends, and my weekdays are often flexible. I always make time for my pups, and I’d be happy to work around your schedule to make sure your dog gets all the love and care they need. I live in a cozy apartment with my sweet 6-year-old Pomchi mix, Luna. She’s incredibly gentle, friendly, and used to being around other dogs. I have a large crate available if needed, and I treat all pets like family. Luna is allowed on the couch, but I always wash her paws after our daily walks. I keep pee pads down just in case, and there are always plenty of toys, treats, and fresh water to keep pups happy and comfortable. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all your instructions carefully. I stick to your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. I also keep your home clean and tidy, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Callahan has watched my cat before and she does an amazing job!! Thank you so much for taking care of my baby while I am away to visit family!!”

About: I have always had at least one pet in my life and have always been active in helping take care of them. I have had a dog my whole life and have independently taken care of my dogs for long periods of time. I am a compassionate, thoughtful, and competent caretaker who would love to take care of your four-legged family member! I am extremely flexible and available. For the most part, my days are completely free so I can take care of your pets whenever you need! I like to follow the routine that works best for the pet and make sure to take them on at least 2 walks a day. Additionally, your pet will be getting lots of cuddles and play time from me! Lastly, I’ll make sure all of your pets needs (bathroom, play, walk, etc) are taken care of before I leave.

“Nancy came by to help give our pup some attention while we were out and about for an extended afternoon. It was a last minute request and she made it happen and we are so grateful. Thanks, Nancy!”

About: Most of my childhood consisted of different types of dogs big or small as well as different types of breed’s, which allows me to take the time and patience to understand each animals personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I treat every pet as if it were my own and always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy whether that be giving belly rubs, going for long walks, or keeping you updated with photos and messages. My availability is open during the whole week anytime however my husband is in service so soemtimes there may be unexpected changes, I’ll do my best to promptly communicate adjustments. Whether in your home or mine I provide attentive care that keeps your pet happy healthy and stress free. I ensure to provide a clean pet-safe environment with plenty of comfort and attention. I make sure to follow your pets routine-feeding, walks, and rest to help them feel as if their owners aren’t even away from them, I make sure to respect your pets space when dealing with dogs who have anxiety, need extra reassurance, shy or energetic. I’m reliable with walks, feedings and keeping your home tidy. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and kindness and the same care i’d want for my own pet.

“I can’t say enough great things about Caity! She’s amazing, so nice, and extremely thoughtful. You can tell that animals are her passion. We will be booking with Caity again and again. She’s set the standard so high! Also she takes the best pictures of our pup and we can tell that our dog is so happy when Caity is around. :)”

About: I absolutely love animals. I have a cuddly black cat and big german shepard back home in CO. I've grown up taking care of them, and also regularly pet sit and walk dogs for friends and neighbors. Their pets are always excited to see me and feel safe around me. I am currently a college student and have random free time, mostly afternoons and evenings as well as weekends. I have a car so can easily commute to and from school and work. I make sure to ask the clients how best to care for their pets and anything I may need to know. I love to play with lots of toys, go on long walks, and give cuddles to pets that like cuddles!

“Stefanie took amazing care of our 2 fur babies. I love that she got on their level and played with them! Our cats were well loved while we went on vacation for a week. Highly recommend and we will be returning customers!! Thank you Stefanie.”

About: My mongrel 3 legged dog lived to 16. Later, my pure bred Dalmatian lived to 16. Yours will be happy and safe. I am sitting to get the enjoyment of being around pets while earning money enjoying myself. I am retired. I am planning on pet sitting because I like the idea of spending my time with pets without the obligation an owner has of being home constantly. I like to travel. I have no pets. Two enclosed outdoor spaces(Both the size of a large room). Substantial open green spaces surround my townhouse condominium. My home has 1433 sq ft of indoor space on one level. I find pets prefer to be wherever the humans are. Which suits me just fine.
