“Makenzie was very attentive to my needs with my puppy. She followed instructions well and was precise with time. My puppy loved playing with her.”
2. Maureen F.
“Maureen took such exceptional care of all our babies while we were away I cannot thank her enough. We don’t get to travel much (if at all) because we have a ridiculous amount of pets to care for on our weird mini homestead farm life and I’m always so nervous to be away. I feel SO much more confident now knowing that my babies are in such great hands with Maureen. She communicated with me daily and kept me informed with updates and fabulous photos from each visit. She is the most attentive pet sitter I have ever experienced and I’m just so grateful. Now that I feel comfortable traveling away from our babies, I will absolutely be re-booking with Maureen. She went above and beyond. Thank you so much again!!”

About: I currently live in Santee but I am available to travel around for gigs. I have one dog; Max who is my baby. I know how important our pets are to us so trust that I will take care of your pet with the same amount of love if they were my own. I have dog-sit my family and friends pets before. I can care for any age pet from puppies to senior adult pets. I'm currently available anytime. I do not mind working weekends. I don't mind working holidays. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling as long as there is communication. I live in apartments where all-size dogs are welcome. I mostly take Max out to dog parks and long walks all around the San Diego area.

“Vic has a special love for all animals big and small. She has attention to detail from their quirks to their favorite form of play, it seems she's got a knack for caring about animals and creating a special bond with them. My old German shepherd just can't seem to get enough of her! However, she really shines in the ways she challenges my pets. From making sure my old dog gets in a good walk and all the medication he needs to convincing my cat to exercise; she's a blessing I simply couldn't live without.”

17. Angela B.
About: Hello, my name is Angela. I live in the El Cajon area. I have had several cats, a miniature dachshund, and now a 8 year old black lab named, Wallie! My dachshund lived to be 17, was blind, and had several health issues towards the end of her life, so I have experience and can care for senior animals and blind dogs or cats. I am available and flexible on most weekends to care for your cat or dog (or both) for either drop in visits and/or daily walks. I will gladly take care of your pet morning and night. I can do walks, play time, and of course meal times. I have done various house visits to family and friends to care for their fur babies when needed. I will send you pictures and videos while you are away to ensure you that your pet is cared for.

19. CODY H.
“I’ve trusted Cody with taking care of my dogs whenever I’m out of town or if they just need a walk he always offers to walk them and all I hear is good things from him.”
20. Tiffany H.
About: I’m an animal lover with a passion for providing the best care for your furry family members. Whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime outside, or cuddling on the couch, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I understand that every dog has their own unique needs. I’m dedicated to creating a fun, comfortable, and stress-free environment for your pup. You can count on me to provide regular updates, including photos, so you can rest easy knowing your dog is in great hands. I look forward to meeting your dog and giving them all the attention they deserve! I work Monday through Friday 8:00am to 3:15pm. Every morning before work, I take my dogs on a 15-20 minute walk. Then feed them, give them love, and leave them with some treats. I’m usually home around 3:30 to take my dogs on a small walk, play with them and do some cuddling. Then it’s dinner time followed by another potty break before bed. Saturdays and Sundays I like to take the dogs to the dog beach or dog park and enjoy the outdoors. I would love to include your pet in our routine. I also have a roommate that can assist with taking our furry animals out if need be. I have two sweet small girls that can play with your pet and keep him/her preoccupied. I have plenty of dog beds, blankets, toys, a fence, a doggy play pen, and a crate if needed.
