About: I’ve cared for pets for the better part of a decade, including my own 6 year old Australian Shepherd. Growing up I worked on a farm so I learned to be patient and tolerate all behaviors displayed by domesticated and non-domesticated animals. I currently work from 7am-3pm. As soon as I get home I walk my dog. At which point, part of our walk can be taking care of your pet in any capacity as we enjoy our time outside. He will not enter any residence and will remain outside until your pet is cared for. He’s great with all animals and if you’re comfortable with your pet meeting him, he will be happy to be their buddy. Living downtown, I have plenty of amazing parks and walkable areas I can take your dog. If you would like your cat walked that’s pretty cool too and I can provide the same resources in a manner that’s more suitable for cats.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was a child, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels for over 11 years. I was the proud owner of a special-needs senior dog who I cared for from the time I was 18 until he peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge, so I understand the patience, dedication, and unconditional love our pets deserve. I also regularly dog sit and have experience walking large breeds, handling excited or strong dogs on leash, and staying calm in stressful situations. Safety is always my top priority, whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, making sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, routine, and personalized care. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re apart. I’m currently in school, so I appreciate the flexibility that pet sitting provides. Outside of occasional Monday and Wednesday mornings, my schedule is very open, and I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. If you’re located in the downtown area, I’m especially available for drop-in visits, walks, feedings, or last-minute check-ins. Caring for animals has been part of my daily routine for over 10 years, so fitting pet care into my schedule comes naturally. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. I pay close attention to each animal’s body language and behavior and can recognize when something seems off. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and medical needs, and I remain calm in stressful situations. I treat every pet as if they were my own, keeping them safe, loved, entertained, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and truly consider pets to be part of the family. Growing up, I cared for our family dog (Shadow) and several cats (Sarah, Barney, Mishu, Josie). During college in New York, I had my own dog (Zazu), and I currently have a cat (Nicolette) in San Diego. Living with both dogs and cats has given me experience with their different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and affection, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I'll care for them with the same attention and kindness I give my own. Until recently, I worked as a school teacher, where I learned to be dependable, patient, and attentive to the needs of others. Since I'm currently between jobs, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, individualized care for your pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I'm available throughout the week and can adapt to your pet's routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I'll do my best to care for them the way you do. I'll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other routines to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll clean up after myself, leave your home just as I found it, and make sure everything is tidy before I leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that feels exactly as you left it.

About: I have pet sat for family members, friends, and others throughout high school, college, as well as post college. I grew up with multiple dogs and a cat and love to make them feel as safe and loved as possible. I love to go on walks and would love to bring a dog along with me! I work from home, therefore I have a flexible schedule. I am available during lunch breaks, mornings, or anytime after 5 PM. Times can be discussed. I live in an apartment with no room mates. I live in a spacious and comfortable home. If I were to provide services in other homes, I would make sure to provide lots of care, attention, and pets.

“First time ever leaving my kitten alone. I felt safe with Darya! She updated me with pictures, and even made all my wet food cans ready to be recycled!”

“Amazing sitter! Very communicative and follows instruction very well. She spent a little extra time with our kitties because of all the medications one of them has. We are very appreciative!”

About: Pets have always been apart of my family life growing up. I helped my childhood pet give birth to her pups. I have trained my own dogs in obedience, tricks, and potty training. It is very rewarding spending time with dogs and helping them live a fuller life. I am currently available everyday of the week to spend time with your pups! I also offer boarding services. I am more than happy to help meet your family’s needs. I have two small dogs. Cookie is eight (Shih tzu). Ollie is six(Pomeranian/papillon mix). They are very friendly to all dogs/cats they encounter. I have a small crate if needed. While I do live in a apartment, there are pet relief areas on site. I also love to go on long walks if needed and trips to any nearby dog parks (little Italy dog park) are always a joy.

“She is the best rover we’ve ever had. Extremely communicative, can problem solve, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with the animals. Highly recommend!!”

About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

About: I've been walking and sitting dogs for over nine years now, and it's something I absolutely love. My experience includes owning some larger, powerful breeds like German Shepherds, Great Danes, and English Mastiffs, so I'm very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Currently, I have a Belgian Malinois, which means I'm well-versed in providing the kind of structured exercise and mental stimulation that high-energy dogs need to thrive. Pet care is a big part of my daily and weekly routine, especially with a Belgian Malinois! Every morning starts with a good walk or run to burn off some energy, followed by feeding. Throughout the day, there are potty breaks, training sessions, and playtime. Evenings usually involve another walk and some quiet cuddle time. On a weekly basis, I make sure to schedule grooming, vet check-ups if needed, and dedicated time for more intensive training or enrichment activities to keep things interesting. It's all about consistency and making sure they're happy and healthy! When I care for pets, whether it's in my home or a client's, the main goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. This usually means sticking to their regular feeding schedule, giving them their meds if needed, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime. I also pay close attention to their behavior, looking for any signs of discomfort or illness, and keep in touch with the owner to give them updates and peace of mind.

“Viktorija does an amazing job watching our cat Bentley. She has excellent communication and is extremely thorough and detail oriented. And the photos she sends are always beautiful!”

“Armando is awesome! From the time we made contact, communication was great. My cat, Buddy, really enjoyed his time, and we are very grateful for Armando's commitment to Buddy's health and to the safety of our home. The first couple of days Buddy wasn't feeling well -- Armando and I reviewed the symptoms, made adjustments to food and medication, and within 24 hours we had turned a good corner! I got photos, activity reports, and we had a few phone calls at my request to make sure Armando had what he needed to keep my spoiled kitty happy :-). Thank You Armando!”

About: Hi! I’ve been dog and cat sitting for family & friends for quite a few years now. I have always loved animals, and have two kitties and 1 dog of my own now. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages & sizes. I am experienced with administering medication to your animal(s). I grew up with a diabetic dog that required Injections and I am also a Registered Nurse. I’m open to pet sitting, walking, drop ins, and house sitting. Feel free to reach out if you want any additional information or have questions! I am currently waiting on my security clearance for a job at the VA, so my schedule is completely free. If you do not see your desired date or time, send me a message and I’m sure we can work something out! Whenever I would have to be in someone else’s home I would treat it with the utmost respect. I will ask for additional information on your pets so I can base my care on what they are already used to. My cats have a very specific routine, so I know how important it can be!

About: My dedication, love for animals, and hands-on experience as a volunteer vet tech set me apart, ensuring your pets receive the best care and attention. Working three days a week and missing my dogs at home, I’d love to take care of other pets, offering them the love and attention they deserve. I’m dedicated to taking care of pets the best I can, providing them with love, attention, and companionship to ensure they feel safe and happy.

“Rachel took amazing care of our kittens while we were out of town! She gave us detailed updates and I felt confident they were in good hands. Our cats love her!”

“Luz was awesome!! Highly recommend”

“Great service with quick response”

“Alexandra watched my dog Korra and did an absolutely outstanding job. From the moment they met, Alexandra’s professionalism and genuine compassion for animals were so easy to see. Korra is a rescue with anxiety, and being away from home — especially during work trips — can be really stressful for her. Alexandra handled this with incredible patience, taking the time to read Korra’s behavioral cues and adjust her approach accordingly. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Korra felt safe and comfortable. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and will absolutely be booking again.”

“Sandra is great with my basset hounds. They were not happy about getting their bath at first (being the spoiled children they are), but she has charmed them and now they are happy to see her!”
