“Chunli did a great job with our cat Sunny. Followed our instructions and worked to gain the our kitties trust. She was punctual and was very responsive. She was also really receptive to suggestions to help to get sunny more comfortable with her. She also helped bring in our packages while we were gone. Would definitely book her again. :)”

“Can’t recommend Drea enough! She arrived on time, provided regular updates (including photos & videos!), & gave Murphy the best love + care. We are now repeat customers! Five stars for Drea. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Audrey is the best! She was so communicative and great with my dogs! I had such a peace of mind knowing she was there with them. She was so attentive and my dogs loved her!”

Laurence T.

“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”

“I have a real sense of security and comfort when Ellyn cares for my girl Gretel, my GSD. Ellyn is a true professional with the perfect blend of structure and sweetness that Gretel needs. This particular assignment was to give Gretel her dinner and hang out for a bit so her alone time before I got home late that night wouldn’t be too long. Gretel was excited but not frantic when I got home which tells me her time with Ellyn was enriching and comfortable for her. Thank you Ellyn!”

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. From energetic puppies to mellow seniors, I’ve had experience with all types of pets and personalities. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and reliable presence, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, consistent care for your pet throughout the week. I’m typically available on weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting, with some evening and weekend availability as well. My schedule allows me to be responsive and present, so your pet gets the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure environment and follow all care instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels at ease. I have experience with shy, anxious, and reactive pets, and I always take the time to build trust and work at their pace. I only care for one pet at a time (unless they’re from the same household), so your pet gets my full attention and care. You’ll receive regular updates and plenty of photos, so you can feel confident they’re safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I work from home, which means your dog gets attention all day, not just morning and evening! Since I was a teenager, friends and family have trusted me with their dogs, and that trust has only grown. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages - from a 9 year old Shih Tzu to an 85-pound Doberman - and I treat every dog like my own. I live in Del Mar, surrounded by green spaces and parks, so your dog will get 3–4 walks a day in a beautiful area. I live with my husband who is another dog lover! Here’s what you can count on from me: - Frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing - Strict adherence to your specific instructions and routines - A calm, loving home environment with no other pets I’d love to meet your dog and learn what makes them wag their tail!

Weekends I’m even more available My home is calm, pet-proofed, and free of other animals. I’m also trained in oral medication administration, so dogs with special health needs are always welcome.

“Sara is incredibly amazing. Trustworthy and responsive. Her communication style provides comfort for any companion animal owner. She's definitely on my short list of people to call when in need. She deserves my highest recommendation.”

About: I have 2 dogs currently and I have had 3 dogs at one time. I also dog sit occasionally for family friends. Most of my dog sitting experience has been staying at someone’s house and taking care of the dogs and house. I know how to take care of both puppies and senior dogs and I have experience giving medication to pets as well. I’m currently on a summer break in between graduating from the University of Michigan and attending law school in the fall. Most of my days are very open so I would love to fill them with pet sitting or dog walking! I have experience dog sitting overnight and following routines. I have a bigger lab and a smaller dog, and I have also had a husky. I have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and their routines!

About: I've taken care of aggressive dogs, dogs with special medical needs, and everything in between. I am reliable, communicative, and I love being with animals. As a teacher, I get summer vacations, so I have a free schedule to devote to petsitting. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, for short or long periods. I have experience taking care older dogs, and I'm also comfortable around dogs with behavioral problems. In every case, I'm attentive to the animal's needs.

“I was away for 11 days while Devon looked after my cat, Tito, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent thoughtful daily updates and the sweetest photos of them playing and cuddling together—I loved watching their bond grow over the week. It was clear Tito felt safe and happy, which made it so much easier for me to be away. Devon even stayed a little longer on some days just to spend more time with him. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager, and I truly love spending time with animals—it feels like such an honor and a privilege. While I don’t currently have pets of my own due to my travels, caring for other people’s pets helps fill that void until I can adopt a furry friend of my own! I work from home with a flexible schedule. I pet sit and dog walk for friends and family whenever I can because I love it. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is secure, free of hazards, and suited to the pet’s needs. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including dietary restrictions, medication schedules, and preferred routines. When walking dogs, I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding unsafe areas and extreme weather conditions. In a client’s home, I ensure doors and gates are properly closed, and I respect the pet’s space while providing plenty of attention and care. My goal is to create a stress-free, comfortable experience for both pets and their owners!

“Barbara is AMAZING! Barbara took care of my 3 cats while i was out of town for 2 weeks. She was friendly, timely, responsive and truly loved my pets. Loved the photos and her concerns for the pets! I will definitely book again without hesitation”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Being around animals has always been a big part of who I am, and I truly enjoy building trusting, loving relationships with the pets I care for. I’m a dedicated animal lover who adores both dogs and cats, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship, I always provide patient, reliable, and attentive care. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and ensure their pets feel happy, loved, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, as I am fully available and able to dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets. This flexibility allows me to focus on each pet’s individual needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine and ensure they receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether they are in my home or in my client’s home. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel safe and relaxed. I also keep the environment clean and secure, follow any special instructions provided by pet parents, and always prioritize the pet’s safety and well-being. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: Growing up I was the kid knocking on every neighbor’s door to walk their dog. My parents eventually me a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy. A big, strong-willed breed that taught me a lot about patience and understanding a dog on their own terms. My family has had multiple dogs since, and I volunteer at local shelters whenever I can. Shelter work especially has given me a lot of experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all backgrounds, including shy and fearful dogs who need extra patience to build trust, seniors who need gentle and attentive care, and dogs with aggression who just need someone calm and consistent. I know how to read a dog’s body language, respect their boundaries, and help them feel safe in an unfamiliar situation. On top of that, I’m the first person everyone calls when they need help with their animals — friends, family, neighbors — and I’ve cared for a huge variety of breeds and personalities over the years. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, which means your pet gets my genuine time and attention. I’m available for services throughout the week, with only occasional short windows away a couple of times a week that never exceed about 3-4 hours. Unless there’s a special event, you can count on me being available and ready to give your pup the love and care they deserve! I live in a spacious condo in Solana Beach with a fenced outside deck and real grass potty pads that are always accessible, so your pup can go whenever they need to. I maintain a clean, pet-proofed, and calm environment where your pet can truly relax. I always keep dogs leashed in public, never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations, and stay fully attentive to their needs and body language throughout the day. I’ll send regular photo and video updates throughout the day, because I know how much it means to see your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away.
