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!!

Makenzie was great! She was eager to help and very responsive via the chat. I booked her several weeks before I needed her to come help out and made the time to meet in person right away. She reached out to me a week before our scheduled visits to make sure everything was still good to go. She’s very organized and motivated. During her visits with my pups she was detailed with notes and sent tons of photos. I would definitely book with her again!

Michelle Has been a very good dog parent to large dogs and small dogs. She has spent time making sure they were well fed, exercised and played with along with plenty of bath and love. She’s been a pet family forever and understands the temperament of all dogs and definitely knows and understands how to take care of dogs and any one who chooses this site would be very happy.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life. I am so caring towards animals which has always come naturally to me. I’ve watched neighbors’ dogs for years and love being the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I was also part of Rover back when I was in the early years of my bachelor’s program and really enjoyed it. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m all about making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently taking the summer off from teaching, so my schedule is super open and flexible right now! I was looking for a fun and meaningful part-time job, and pet care is a perfect fit. I have plenty of time during the day for walks, drop-ins, or just hanging out with your pet. Whether you need help on weekdays, weekends, or even last-minute, I’m happy to work around what works best for you and your pet. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible.. feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you have.

We feel incredibly lucky to have Betsy as our dog walker. She’s been walking our three dogs for some time now, and the care, patience, and love she shows each of them is truly special. Each of our pups has their own quirks and personalities, and Betsy treats them as if they were her own — giving them individual attention, making sure they're safe, happy, and well-exercised. She always goes the extra mile, whether it's refilling water bowls after walks, giving some extra love to our shy pup, or just checking in to share how the walk went. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and we do too! If you're looking for someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your pets, Betsy is it.

About: Hi, I’m Alexis! I have experience with both cats and dogs sizes. I currently have four cats of my own, so I understand different personalities and needs. I offer patient care, whether your pet is shy, playful, or senior. I’m here to provide walks, feeding, litter box cleaning, and check-ins with love and care. I currently work during the day, but I’m fully available for pet care after 3:30 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, or check-ins in the afternoons and evenings. Feel free to message me with any questions or to check my availability. (✨Starting June 18th through July and August, I’ll be available for pet care mornings and afternoons!✨) I always treat every home and pet with the same care I give to my own. I will follow all client instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, or making sure doors and gates are secure. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners by being respectful, reliable, and keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own space.

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.

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.
