About: I believe that it is important to adapt to each dog's individual personality and preferences when caring for them. I have had experience all my life with my own, and family, pets of all shapes and sizes and can tell you for sure, one size does not fit all lol. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats so I'm confident in my ability to handle anything they throw at me. I'd love to get to know your pet as well :) I work from home so I am highly flexible and can fit your pet in my day at any time for your requested activities, or lack thereof haha I have pets at home, so if your pet prefers not making friends at this time, I can drop by or stay with your pet at their home!

About: Hi! I’m Lissie, a UCSD graduate and incoming veterinary student at Western University of Health Sciences this August 🐾🩺 I have two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, from energetic, healthy pups to seniors or pets requiring injections, oral medications, or fluid administration. If your pet has special medical needs, you can feel confident they’re in knowledgeable and capable hands. Beyond my clinical experience, I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand animal behavior and always prioritize safety, patience, and respecting their boundaries. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, structure, or a calm presence, I adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them like my own ❤️

About: Hi pet parents! My name is Jayda. I’ve been in the animal field for about 8 years now. Im a full time dog trainer, I own my own business. I also have a Vet Technician background. I started pet sitting for fun about 4 years ago, and ended up turning that into a side business. With my vet tech experience, I’m completely comfortable with any breed. I also take care of cats too. I look forward to meeting you and your babies soon! I train dogs during the week, usually for a few hours during the day, but I incorporate caring for your pets in my schedule. I feed and walk in the morning etc. I do all my pet sitting in your home if you’re comfortable. I go along with your schedule so it’s all up to you. I personally like to update you with pictures and of video.

About: I’m patient, attentive, and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, senior pets, and dogs that need extra care or calm energy. I’m very observant of behavior changes and always prioritize safety, comfort, and communication with pet parents. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and attentive. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow instructions, keep pets supervised, secure doors and leashes, and ensure their routines are respected. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, organized, and focused on maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 4 years and truly treat every pet I care for like family. I’m very attentive, patient, and intentional about making sure pets feel safe, loved, and engaged while their parents are away. I love the outdoors and regularly take my own dog on long walks, trails, and weekly dog park adventures, so your pet will get the exercise, stimulation, and fun they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk, I focus on quality time, safety, and giving your pet the care I’d want for my own :) I work full time serving our State of California😊 however my job has very flexible hours and I make my own schedule. I work remote pretty often as well. Caring for pets is no problem as long as I can schedule ahead of time :) Weekends are also great for me as well! I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. During drop-in visits, I make sure all your pet’s needs are met like feeding, fresh water, comfort, potty breaks, and playtime, all while keeping their routine consistent and stress free. On walks, safety is always my top priority, and I’m attentive, patient, and aware of your pet’s pace and surroundings. I also love sending plenty of photo updates, so you’re never left wondering how your pup is doing and can feel confident they’re happy, safe, and cared for.

Joanne is an angel! I’ve met with her before her pet drop ins started and felt immediately at ease- like we’ve known each other for a long time. My pup, Haku adored her! Joanne took good care of him when we’re away and communicates everything with me. She carefully follows instructions and did everything as told with respect! I would definitely book with her service again! She deserves more than 5 stars. Joanne, please stay nearby and keep in touch!!!

We used Emily for a daily drop in for our cat while we were in Hawaii. We were temporarily staying in an RV park in Chula Vista and she was very accommodating. She was great with our kitty and gave her lots of love and affection. She sent lots of pictures every day which we really loved. We highly recommend Emily and would use her again in a heartbeat!

William went above and beyond caring for my dogs. I have two high energy large breed dogs, a German shepherd and a Labrador retriever. William handled them very well, my dogs love him and I can tell he really cares about them when he’s baby sitting them. He sends me pictures and communicates about their visit. He is very trustworthy, made sure my dogs were safe and comfortable and made me feel very comfortable leaving them under his care. I am very glad to have found him and will definitely be hiring him again!

It’s always bitter sweet to leave Dee reviews—she’s an AMAZING sitter, but I don’t want anyone else to book her because my cat and I cherish her. She’s reliable, caring, and once again, went above and beyond to make sure my cat was given the best of care! Thank you for all you do, Dee!❤️

We hired Ivy to watch our senior cat Sox and kitten Drusilla for a week, and she was just wonderful! Excellent communication and daily updates, super sweet photos sent at every visit, and very punctual and attentive. She took great care of both our cats, and they warmed up to her right away. We are so grateful for Ivy's care, it meant the world to know our furbabies were in great hands. Highly recommended, we will definitely contact her again!
