“Will was amazing with Willow and Wick. He was timely, communicative, and reliable. He was so great even our shy cat came out to hang out with him. He even took our puppy for her first run! He sent us pictures and videos of them everyday and if we had questions throughout our trip he responded promptly to them. We will definitely be booking Will for any future things we may need with our fur babies!”

“Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.”

“Tara was worth every penny and then some. I was a little apprehensive about leaving our fur baby at home while we went out of town for a few days. Tara sent notes and photos every day and relieved my worries. If I had a question, she answered it. I could tell by the photos that Delaney was in good hands. Thank you, Tara!”


“Another great experience with Dee - our dogs were well taken care of and so was our house! We really appreciated the quick communication, updates and photos - especially when one of our pups wasn't feeling so well, she let us know right away and answered all our tons of questions (all turned out to be just fine in the end - but we really appreciate the transparency!). When you ask Dee to watch your pets, know that you are in good hands! Thanks again!”
“Emily has turned into a first choice for our fur baby. She makes him feel like a rockstar with walks and cuddles and play time and his own photo shoot. Emily is the main reason I believe in Rover!”


“I was impressed with Claudia from the moment that I met her. She has a calm demeanor, is professional, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs. She was communicative, sent photos and took excellent care of my dogs and my home. I highly recommend her!”

“Paige is such a genuine human being. So kind and full of joy. She is so sweet with our dude (🐶). Not a worry in the world when we are away knowing Paige is there. Superstar.”

“Monica was INCREDIBLE! We definitely plan on working with her again. She took such great care of our new puppy and our older dog, and they both have unique care needs. She stayed at the house and we returned to not only a clean house but happy dogs! She stayed in touch every day and we could tell both dogs were happy with her.”

“Julia was a great house-sitter for us and our pets. Our dogs have a specific feeding and treat routine and Julia handled it all. Our home was clean when we came home, can barely tell she was here! Lots of photo updates for our peace of mind. Highly recommend Julia, will use her again.”

“Anjelica housesat with our cat and dog for a week and was great! Came back to the house super clean and our girls happy. Will absolutely hire her again and recommend!”

“I cannot recommend Joanne enough! I had a last-minute family emergency and she stepped in to take amazing care of my dogs. She was incredibly communicative, kept me updated the whole time, and my dogs absolutely adored her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. I will definitely be booking Joanne any time I need a sitter!”


“Excellence. Kind. Thoughtful. Sweet. Knowledgeable. Those are just 5 words that can describe this beautiful young lady that meticulously communicated throughout our vacation. I honestly would not ask anyone else. I have arranged my time away around her because she is that fabulous. I probably shouldn’t promote that as I want her to always be available ? Thank you Karilou”

“Crystalinda was amazing ! She took care of our fur baby with such care. We were gone for a week and we knew that Charlie was is such great hands. She was very responsive, reliable and so sweet with our pup. Our dog has some special medication and needs and it was no problem to have her taken care of. We will rebook when ever we are out of town again. Plus she was very respectful of our home. I would recommend her to any one who needs a superior dog sitter or walker.”

“This was Akisha’s first sitting in this area and I will strongly recommend her for house sitting your beloved pets. She kept me informed me throughout via pictures and video messages and took a great care of my dog and the house.”

“Sarah is such a sweetheart! My kitty Sasha is usually very nervous without me, but she took to Sarah so fast. They were playing together on day 2! I appreciate Sarah’s thoughtful care and am grateful to have solid pet care in San Diego.”

“Abigail was really great! She was recommended by our neighbors who also had a positive experience. We have two dogs, one cat and some chickens. I appreciated the pictures she sent every day. The house was exactly as we left it and our pets were happy.”


About: I’ve had two dogs of my own in the past who I adopted and loved deeply, and they taught me the importance of patience, routine, and gentle care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and truly enjoy building trust with each pet. I work full time fully remote during the week which gives me flexibility for lots of day time loves and pets and letting outside. I also love to go on walks on my hour lunch and long walks at mission beach during the weekend! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle care, close supervision, and regular updates with photos and messages so you always feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for!

Monica was fantastic! We needed a sitter for a few hours while we were visiting San Diego and staying at the Hotel Del Coronado. Our pup instantly liked her, which is fairly unusual. Lots of updates, photos and videos. Will use her again the next time we’re in town! Highly recommend for helicopter dog parents 😆

Crystalinda was truly incredible with our English Mastiff. We received thoughtful updates and photos every day, and it was obvious our pup was relaxed, comfortable, and so well cared for. She also took wonderful care of our home. It’s rare to find someone so calm, confident, and knowledgeable with giant breeds — we are beyond grateful and will absolutely book again!
We had a great experience with our Heather! She stayed overnight with our pet cat, Marshall for a full week and took wonderful care of everything. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was very clean, respectful of our home, and so kind. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to others!

Julia was a great sitter - the house was immaculate when we came back, and she understood our dog's slightly neurotic issues. Both a heavy rainstorm and New Year's Eve fireworks, all reason to panic in his mind. We had good occasional updates while away and felt like everything was in good hands! we'd definitely use her again.

Ari was a great dogsitter and housesitter while we were away for a week over Christmas. One of our dogs unexpectedly needed medication and Ari was happy to take care of her even though that was not originally part of the request. Our dogs seemed to enjoy their time with Ari, and I enjoyed how kind and responsive she was with her communication. We'll definitely book with her again!

Sabrina was wonderful caring for our dog Bruce for a whole two weeks and over the holidays! She sent us lots of photos, videos and daily updates. She was very responsive and kind in her messages. She also left our home very clean and made sure to collect the mail and packages. Would definitely recommend her for dog sitting

Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.
