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.

About: In total I’ve had 5 dogs in my lifetime, dating far back to when I was a baby! Dogs of many sizes and kinds of dogs from small to big, a labrador rottweiler mix, bichon frise and the rest being rat terriers. So from about the time I was born until I was 13 (I am now 20), I owned 5 dogs :). I loved being able to walk my dogs, taking them to parks, just being in their company really. I look after my friends’ dogs on occasion as well as my relative’s when they’re busy and decided that I would love to make it into a career. I don’t have a job, and I’m a student at Southwestern, I was full time last semester but the semester ended just last week. I will be fully free for the next two weeks with the exception of Friday’s from 6pm-11pm (can be negotiated if need be!). I’m open every week day and every day of weekend, willing to work anywhere from 8am until about 5pm. I will be taking one class in the summer, ballet (dance), that begins June 15th, ends August 8th and runs Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:25am to 11:25 AM for all three days. I would not be allowed to host any pet in my house as we have two babies in the house and we’re not fully aware of their allergies yet, however, it would be best for me to do drop ins or house sitting sessions for that reason. I think doing a meet and greet beforehand would be amazing so that we could have a chance to meet each other first and maybe introduce me to your pet to see if I could be a good match to sit for them instead of blindly throwing me with them!

About: my lifelong experience sets me apart from other sitters because my family would always positively recommend me to their friends. I am experienced with foster animals and pet sitting through years of helping a shelter worker and caring for her dogs. I’m attentive, reliable, and love working with all kinds of pets. I am currently working parttime as a preschool teacher but i am available on weekdays after 12. Mornings during the weekday are my only busy period. the care for pets varies depending on owners request. In the past, I have always followed clients requested bathroom and feeding schedules. if you have any questions, feel free to message or call me.

Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!

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!

Brittany was absolutely amazing! I felt completely comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care. The pictures and regular updates gave me so much peace of mind and reassured me they were doing great without me. This was my first time leaving them for four days (longest time before this was 6 hours), and thanks to Brittany, I now have a trusted sitter I can rely on for future trips. I’m so grateful!

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—starting with our sweet family dog growing up. Now, I share my home (and heart!) with two more pups I co-parent with my girlfriend: a small Shih Tzu and a senior mix, along with our youngest frenchie, Cleo. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for every pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or behavior changes. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and I’m always mindful of doors, gates, and other safety measures. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Availability: I do work a 8-5 Mon-Fri job. I am open to house sitting if your pup can be okay with me being gone during those hours. I work in the El Cajon area so if you’re close by, I could stop to check on your pup during my lunch break. I try to accommodate as much as possible 😊 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexible scheduling so your pet gets the attention they need—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, enrichment play, or bedtime cuddles. I work from home and spend most of my time indoors or outside on walks, so I’m able to provide consistent companionship, love, and care throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for your pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or changes in behavior. I never leave pets unattended outdoors, and I’m mindful about doors, gates, and anything that could pose a risk. I want your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for at all times.

About: Animals gravitate to me, and I'm a photographer! While you're away, you will receive amazing photos and videos of your furry family member! I have a special place in my heart for my friend's dog Tripp. He has 3 legs and a strict diet. I love making sure his food is always perfectly prepared and getting all his meds. Whenever I'm with him we always take a trip to the beach. Plenty of window space in my 4runner and cool aftercare tools to clean and dry your furry loved one for the ride home. I've been a commercial photographer for 16 years now, it's time to freelance and build my business outside of working for a company. I love pets, traveling, and meeting new people. Excited to see where this takes me as a photographer and animal lover. I give the furry loved ones the same luxuries I would enjoy. Soft bed with a blanket to curl in, clean water, and food with a tasty treat throughout the day. Car ride adventures and cuddles. Depending on what you choose for them, maybe some soft music or the nature channel on if I'm away. Toys and attention are important! Every furry loved one has their favorite toy!

I would give Jake 5 stars just for having to deal with me!!! I was so nervous about leaving my new puppy and my spoiled 3.5-year-old pug, but Jake reassured me every step of the way. He sent photos, followed all of my instructions (all four pages of them!) perfectly, and took such great care of my dogs. Our older pug even goes to the spare room now looking for him! I can't thank Jake enough and highly recommend him to everyone. Thanks, Jake!!! 🐾💕
