“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!”

“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!”

“We asked Paige to watch our pets, Zoe the cat, Goose the Golden Retriever (3yrs old) and Willow the Goldendoodle (2 yr old). Paige survived and the animals were cared for. Willow does like socks so consequently Paige lost a sock. Paige had to walk each dog separately as Goose is really strong and is very playful during walks making it more challenging while walking the other dog. Zoe the 12 yr old cat, is typically not fond of strangers and will almost never be seen. Well day one Zoe was out and greeted Paige. I told Paige she must be a cat whisperer. Anyways, Paige was keeping us updated and had everything under control as well making sure the animals were fed and lived which is all we really care about. Recommend and we will be happy to have Paige watch our pets in the future.”

“Kaitlin took such great care of my pets, and my apartment! I’m always nervous to have someone new stay in my space and care for my animals, but Kaitlin’s caring and kind demeanor made me feel at ease :) She sent me updates and pictures daily, and was easily able to follow all the instructions. I know my pets really enjoyed spending time with her, too. She also left my apartment tidy and clean, which was so nice to come home to after a long trip.”

“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”

About: Hello! I'm Charlie I've been working for over 15 years taking care of children and on occasion, pets. I'm hoping to add more animals to my life as I am finishing my RN-BSN, the stress relief and excuse to get outside that furry friends offer is immeasurable! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs as an occasional sitter/walker and home co-habitant and have had a wonderful feisty cat for over 14 years. (She stays at home unless otherwise specified) I have the most experience with middle aged to older dogs, and manage to win over even the most tentative of furry family members. (I'm also shy, so I attribute it to mutual awkwardness.) I have experience giving eye drops, disguising medication's as treats (or convincing stubbon animals to take medication) and I am experienced in giving injections. I'm more comfortable and experienced with medium and larger dogs , cats of all sizes and temperaments (but i will not turn down the opportunity to make a small dog, bunny, scaley or feathered friend!) . I've experienced some mischievous puppy antics that have led to my finding out that I can keep level headed in an emergency. As I mentioned above, I work in childcare, so I have experience performing work unsupervised in other peoples' homes, am a nurse working on my BSN (so background checks are no issue) and can provide necessary references if requested to ensure my trustworthiness. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about me and my experience. Thank you. I'm currently in school part-time for my BSN while searching for new grad RN positions and helping out with a local nursing association. I have a flexible schedule and can often work around your needs. I usually housesit In a client's home while they are away, but am open to drop-ins. I try and follow a furry friend's routine as closely as possible and if I can't on a day, I make sure that they always get enough potty breaks and adjust walks accordingly. I do tend to take the longest walks in the AM (30-45 min) + before bed (30-1 hr) with shorter 15-30 min "potty" walks during the day . I take into account their needs (feeding/medication/b&b evacuation times) & normal excursion times and my schedule and plan the week out in advance. Written instructions help me with daily tasks or pet personality quirks if they are more set in their ways. I'm happy to water plants, gather mail, take out trash and am comfortable communicating with vendors (repair, pest control etc) if they need to visit when you are away. I treat the home better than I treat my own and aim to maintain (or exceed) the level of cleanliness that existed when I arrived. I'm not shy when it comes to vacuuming, laundering linens & pet bedding as needed while I am staying.

“Karilou was great! She sent a lot of pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. We were able to enjoy a weekend trip without worrying about our dogs.”

“Vanessa did a wonderful job taking care of our pups! I think they already miss her. She kept us in the loop and sent lots of pictures. I know they appreciated all of the walks and cuddles. I totally recommend Vanessa for any house sitting services.”

“I highly recommend Enrique as a dog and house sitter! He was incredibly attentive to my dogs, making sure they were well-cared for, walked, and happy while I was away. He kept my house spotless, which was a great bonus. Enrique also communicated frequently, sending me regular updates and photos of my dogs so I could see how well they were doing. It was clear that he genuinely cared about them, and it gave me peace of mind to know they were in such great hands. I’d absolutely trust him again for any future dog sitting needs!”

Fernando V.

“Fantastic sitter! Super nice, very professional, and took care of our little ones expertly. I love that she sent multiple videos as updates. I could tell they were having a really good time 😁”

“Crystalinda was great with our dog Murray. Murray had some unexpected medical issues arise a few days before her stay, and Crystalinda was a great communicator and handled the change/additional care with ease. Will definitely be using Crystalinda again!”

“Sarah was fantastic. She accepted our last‑minute, early‑morning request and showed up full of positive enthusiasm. She handled our two high‑energy huskies with care, keeping them happy, engaged, and safe.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I recently relocated to the San Diego area and looking to build my clientele here. I currently have two Giant Schnoodles and two English Mastiffs, so I'm very comfortable with everything from energetic playtime to caring for any and all breeds. You can trust that your pet will receive dependable, attentive, and loving care every step of the way. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, feeding, or lots of love and attention, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I'm very active and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they stay happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give every pet the best care possible and provide you with peace of mind knowing they're in great hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Since I care for my own dogs every day, I'm already in the routine of giving pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I make it a priority to be reliable, punctual, and responsive so your pet receives consistent, high-quality care. As a military veteran and current healthcare professional, I understand the importance of responsibility, trust, and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family, follow your care instructions closely, and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and clear communication every step of the way.

About: Hi! My name is Diana. I am a caring and responsible pet lover living in San Diego. I have experience caring for my own dog and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable. Your pet will receive lots of attention, love, and care in a calm home environment. I welcome small and friendly dogs and will treat them like family. I am home most of the time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I am available on both weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment for pets. I have a fenced yard and always supervise pets carefully. I follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. If pets need to be separated for safety or comfort, I have enough space to keep them in separate rooms.

“Sarah was an excellent dog and house sitter. We left for 10 days and felt completely comfortable and at ease with Sarah being with our two dogs. She provided regular updates, gave them snuggles, played with them and was great watering our plants while we were away to keep the house nice. Our dogs love her so it was a match made in heaven!”

About: I am a Dog lover!!! I have experience with my dogs, and I take care of my friends and family dogs when they go out or travel. I would treat your baby like it was mine. Also I would send you an upgrade and pictures so you can see how much fun your dog is having. I think dogs are the best gift a human can have, and that is why they deserve the best care, attention, and Love!! I can provide that to your dog. Sometimes can be overwhelming for them to spend so much hours alone, without attention or without playing, so I would love to be part of that happiness, to take them for a run or walk, go visit them, pet him and play with him. Dogs are our best friends in life, so they deserve to have always the best!

About: Hey there! My name is Natasha and I have been an avid dog lover since I was young. My partner and I both WFH and we have a fully fenced in front and backyard for the pups to play and roam. With my 8+ years of dog care experience, it's my pleasure to make our house your dog's favorite home away from home! A little about me: My first dog was a Christmas gift when I was 16. Despite being on crutches, I learned a lot about dog training and care. Fast forward to 7 years ago, I rescued my border collie and trained her to become a service dog. We go everywhere and do (almost) everything together - including taking care of other dogs! I also now have a Foster dog, Ashe, who is very docile, gentle, and sweet. She's just happy to be here! I am also happy to watch your pet(s) at your home as my partner can take care of the gang here at home while I'm away. Whatever works best for you! Either way - your pets will be loved, mentally and physically engaged, and cared for however long you need! I work remote full-time and set my own schedule. Nyla joins me for runs, frisbee sessions at the park, hikes, and fetch 5-6 days a week. After that, it’s all cuddle puddle. We also do some training on our walks for breakfast! We go for a long walk in the morning and evening, with plenty of short breaks throughout the day - or one of the aforementioned activities! Safety is of utmost importance to me. I know many dogs have lots of ways they communicate their boundaries and I keep a close eye for any or all of them your dog may show. We have a fully fenced in front and backyard, a way to divide the two, and live in a residential neighborhood. I work with each pet to learn their comfort level and earn their trust on their terms and timetable. Nyla and our foster are both crate trained so separation is always available if need be!
