“I am so grateful to Monique, she did such a great job helping to take care of our Yoyo while we were out of town. My dog is not always easy but took right to Monique.

I will definitely be reaching out to Monique again and appreciate her so much.”

About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet sitter and dog walker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. I have experience working with reactive and anxious dogs and understand the patience, awareness, and calm approach they often need. I pay close attention to body language, safety, and each dog’s individual comfort level to help them feel secure and cared for. I currently have a cocker spaniel and love to walk and play with him. I know how important consistency, exercise, affection, and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I will provide reliable, loving care and treat them as if they were my own. I am a teacher and have summers off. I have full availability to care (walks and check-ins) for your pet during the week or weekend. I would love to get on a schedule if you need one for consistent work. I am looking for jobs that will get my active and outside. Whether that is playing with your pet inside your home or taking them for long walks around your neighborhood/in a destination of your choosing.
About: I have 20 years of experience watching dog's and just loving various and multiple breeds. I love puppies ,senior dogs and let's not forget the one's with a disability. I have great references of families , from watching their furry friends while owners are out of town, or even helping with whelping. I have plenty of time since I am a stay home mom. My husband and child are out most of the day and give me a chance to have an open schedule. My child and husband are also dog lovers, but also understands how important it is to give our fur babies space while still providing a necessary attentive eye for the sake of their care. I have a fully fenced yard, full of space for your furry friend to run,play, or simply enjoy his daily sun bathing. I have one french bulldog that is 2 years old and gets along with everyone, he loves his ball and chicken that's for sure.
“Vanessa is absolutely amazing. She is extremely accommodating and has not once said no to helping me out even if it’s a few hours before. She takes the best care of my puppy Lucy and always goes above and beyond for her walks as well as sending me the cutest pictures during. I highly recommend her to anyone nearby!!!!”

“Bernice was able to come very last minute and accommodate a walk with my girl stella! Stella was tired after her walk and got along well with my sweet girl! Will def keep her as a regular :)”

About: As an animal lover, I’ve grown up with all sorts of critters for my entire life (dogs, cats, birds, and even a pot belly pig – oh my!). One day I’d like to have an animal sanctuary. My favorite thing is getting to know a pet and making them feel safe and comfortable while I’m taking care of them. Pet care is a daily part of my life already since I have a couple of senior fur babies at home! I have a flexible work schedule so I can always make sure that I’m a part of your pet’s day when I’m taking care of them. Trust is a big part of hiring a pet sitter. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow any instructions a pet parent gives me with walking, feeding, and behavior. I’ll make sure that every pet gets extra love while you’re away.
“Kalista was so sweet with our pup! She made time to do a meet and greet on short notice and quickly won over Indie. We are so grateful and will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Graceleigh, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I was raised around dogs, cats, goats, horses, pigs, llamas, and chickens, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up, I always had a dog by my side, and being around animals has truly shaped who I am. When I moved away for college, I missed having a dog so much that I began pet sitting and dog walking to stay connected to them. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters in my hometown before moving to San Diego, and I plan to continue volunteering here as well. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and bonds with them. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication support, or simply a calm and reliable companion, I’d love the opportunity to care for them like they’re my own! I am very flexible! I don’t have a set schedule. So I’m always open! I am in the United States Coast Guard as a reservist! I absolutely love pets. I will make sure to give your fur baby plenty of attention, walks, playtime, food, water, and lots of love and affection.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. From energetic pups that need long walks to older dogs that prefer slower strolls and extra attention, I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day—no one gets lonely on my watch! I love keeping dogs active with walks, games, and belly rub breaks, and my spacious, secure yard is perfect for running, sniffing, and a little zoomie fun. I also enjoy spending time with cats, giving them gentle pets, cozy spots, and extra love while making sure they feel safe and happy. Being home means I can follow each pet’s routine, offer plenty of cuddles, and make every day fun and stress-free for your furry friend. I have a large fenced in yard where your pup can play fetch and have endless potty breaks but also have the ability to crate if needed!

“Irania is respectful, sweet, and responsible. She was extremely punctual and always kept me up to date with exactly what was going on. My dog is 90lbs of playful energy, but that didn't phase Irania. They bonded instantly. I couldn't have asked for a more reliable sitter/walker. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking looking for pet care they can count on.”


About: My late fur baby had CKD and oral cancer. I am experienced caring for special needs cats as I kept her comfortable as long as possible and I’m familiar with administering meds and other sick fur baby needs. If my love was as vast as any cat’s appetite, than your fur babies will be cared for in your absence multiple times over. Available weekends and evenings. I work and live centrally in Talmadge and near Adams Ave and can be available within 15 mins drive to most residences in metro San Diego. I have a dog park at my apartment complex, an outdoor gated walking space, and will look after your pet like family. Even though I have a cat, Bougie knows how to share his space indoor with your fur baby. If you prefer I can drive to you to spend time with them and perform the duties of a responsible pet sitter.
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old when I got my first dog. I now have two dogs and have cared for mine, as well as other peoples dogs :) I have two dogs to care for: a 2 year old chihuahua terrier and a 13 year old chihuahua/dotson mix! I take them on walks, make sure they're fed, bathe them and give them all the love they need :) I make sure they're not getting into anything they're not suppose to, make sure they get outside for walks and general outside time/car rides, snacks when they're being good!
