About: I’ve always been around animals my entire life. Whether its walking, running, bathing, staying overnight, or taking them to the dog park, I got you covered. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their animals numerous times, each with longer stays. I’m currently working part time as a gymnastics coach, so i have plenty on time on my hands to take care of your animals! I am available almost all hours of the day, so if you need someone early in the morning, I will be there. While taking care of pets in the home, I like to stick to their schedule of eating, sleeping, and walking routines. I have watched pets that are only in the home (not friendly with other dogs) where we constantly play in the house or backyard. I’ve also cared for pets that especially love the beach, so I bring them to dog beach for a refreshing walk (and bath)!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. Check out my general availability below! Weekday Availability (M – F): 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday Availability: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday Availability: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you need pet care outside of these hours, message me– I'm generally pretty flexible! I treat every home and pet with care and respect. I follow all instructions closely, keep things tidy, and ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their familiar space.

“Roberta was fantastic in taking care of our kitties! She took care and sent excellent updates on them. Definitely going to have her help us out again.”


About: With over 20 years of dog-loving experience, I’ve shared my life with pups of all shapes, sizes, and ages—from frisky puppies to wise seniors. While I currently don’t have a furry companion (after saying goodbye to my sweet little dog last year), my calendar—and couch—are ready for canine company! Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and entertain their pets, and I’m known for doling out head scratches and belly rubs as generously as treats. Your pup will get the VIP treatment and all the love they deserve! Pet care is my passion, and I love filling my days with walks and playtime. Since I live in an apartment, walk breaks happen frequently—perfect for pups with potty breaks or high energy needs! I set my schedule around your pets, ensuring they never feel rushed (and have time for that extra lap around the block). Most days, I’m home and flexible, ready for early morning or evening visits to suit your routine. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority. At my place, pets get a cozy, secure environment and plenty of attention—no overcrowding or chaos here! On walks, I stay alert for other animals and hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet at my apartment or in your home, I maintain a calm, clean space and keep you updated with photos and cheerful messages—you’ll rest easy knowing your furry family member is in caring, experienced hands!

About: "Hi, I'm Jenna! In my years of pet care, I've transformed routine walks into adventures and cuddle time into stories, ensuring every pet feels loved and cherished." As a stay-at-home individual, I have the time, flexibility, and dedication to fully integrate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to walk the dogs regularly, attend to their needs throughout the day, and ensure they’re always fed on time. Whether it’s playtime, grooming, or a quick trip to the park, I’m available and hands-on. Being home also allows me to give our pets the attention and affection they need to feel secure and loved. I can quickly respond to any changes in their behavior or health and provide comfort when they’re anxious or unwell. On top of that, my husband is also at home and loves animals just as much—so together, we make a strong team in providing consistent, loving care. Having pets isn’t a task for us—it’s part of our lifestyle, and we truly enjoy every moment of it. My home offers a secure, fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I warmly welcome pets to stay inside our house for a comfortable, homey experience.

“We are SO THANKFUL for Olena!! She was so sweet and wonderful with our old man Wellington! She was great with giving us multiple updates of him throughout our trip!!”


About: below are a few reasons why i would be a good choice for your dog: 1. my parent’s pet husky for the past 8 years still hasn’t run away from me 2. i had a dog in college all 4 years and she graduated top of her class 3. i love dogs i work from home, so i can be looking after the dog at all times. my hours are also very flexible, so i can take them out anytime they need to go. i have a large balcony if they ever need to get fresh air while we are at home. i also live in a complex where there is a nice walking trail.

“I cannot recommend Brianna enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my cat, Henry, while I was away, and her attentiveness and care were truly outstanding. Brianna kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, which not only let me see how happy and well-cared-for Henry was but also gave me so much peace of mind. She clearly loves what she does and took the time to make Henry feel comfortable and cared for. Knowing I could trust her completely made my time away so much easier. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated, Brianna is absolutely the best choice. Thank you, Brianna, for going above and beyond!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 15 years, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or giving meds, I treat every pup like part of the family. Friends and neighbors rely on me for everything from daily visits to overnight stays, and I’ve built great bonds with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident, calm, and always ready for fetch, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Bonus: I never show up without treats (with your permission, of course!). Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m flexible and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or quality cuddle time, I make sure each visit is stress-free and tailored to your dog’s personality and schedule. Weekdays and weekends are both available, and I always build in time for updates, so you’ll never wonder how your pup is doing. Safety, trust & environment Keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable is always my top priority—whether I’m staying at your place or welcoming your pet into mine. I stick closely to your care instructions and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. When I’m in your home, I make sure everything stays just the way they’re used to. At my place, it’s calm and cozy with lots of supervision and comfy spots to lounge. ***I have two sweet Frenchies who are great with other dogs—we’ve had a third pup stay with us for weeks at a time, and it’s always a blast. I keep things secure, walk with sturdy leashes, and treat every pet like one of my own. If you’re looking for care for two or more dogs, I usually prefer staying at your place—it helps keep things low-stress and more familiar for them.

“Zil was a great sitter to my cat. She watched him while we were away for the holidays. I appreciated that she cleaned his litter box every day, she even brought her own litter when we were running low. She was communicative and made us feel as though our cat was well taken care of while we were away.”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats all my life. In the past ten years, I have raised three dogs and dealt with all the puppy stages that come along with it. I love all animals and feel I connect with almost every pup I meet! I spent the last 4 years volunteering at animal shelters so I am very familiar with working with new dogs and ensuring they are comfortable around me. I love going on long walks especially when I have animals by my side. I have a caretaker mentality so I will always be on high alert with how each dog I watch is feeling. My own dogs have had medical problems so I am familiar with oral pill schedules and specific dietary needs. I currently work in Del Mar with a flexible job. I regularly go on long walks with or without my dog and have a car so can do drop in visits with ease. I live in a townhome with my partner and we have a fully fenced yard with a fun loving and happy dog who would love to make new friends. She is submissive as needed but loves to play with any and all pups!!
