About: I've had the joy of caring for over 100 furry friends of all kinds. From the shy and sweet rescues to the lively and large, I adore them all. No pup is too challenging for me - whether they're high-energy or timid. Living just a hop and a skip away from a dog park, I can easily fit in playtime if that's what your dog enjoys. Plus, my neighborhood is perfect for those who love leisurely strolls or energetic walks. Working from home means I'm around most of the day to give your dog all the attention they deserve, only stepping out briefly for errands. Can't wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾💕 I have a work from home flex schedule that allows me to take long walks with your pet, provide daily attention and weekends free to shower your pet with love! When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, my approach is centered around ensuring the pet feels safe, loved, and engaged by providing a safe and comfortable environment, maintaining a consistent routine and schedule, regular play and exercise and lots of attention and affection!

About: I have always been an animal lover! I have owned multiple kinds of dogs and I have cat sit for friends who own them. I am very attentive and responsible towards the animals I have looked after. Being in the presence of animals always brings light to my life and I would love to continue that going forward. I am a very punctual and dependable person. I love fur babies and will always do my absolute best to provide whatever care is needed. I have a very open availability. I work a part time job, in which I do not have a set schedule at. I am very flexible and can accommodate to the needed pet care!! I currently do not live with my dog anymore, he’s at my mom’s. When I did live with him I would ensure he was walked everyday, fed at appropriate times, and ALWAYS loved on and cherished. If there were any special adjustments to make towards certain pets I would completely comply to every request. I am very loving and just want to provide the best care I can. I will always put your animal first, because that is your baby. and I promise you, your pet is in great hands with me.

About: I grew up with three dogs in the house! They were my wonderful furry siblings for 18 years and taught me how to care for them at all stages of their lives. I am comfortable caring for puppies and senior dogs. I have been pet sitting off and on since childhood for a variety of animals including cats, fish, rodents, reptiles, chickens, goats and a pig! Any additional pets won’t scare me off! If you would like some basic training or training up-keep, I am happy to do so. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I currently work at a day job and can only offer Fridays and Saturday mornings for walks and drop-ins. I would love to open up my availability to include more days of the week if I can schedule enough pets to support myself on those days. In my home, we have a large, fenced property where your dog would get to spend a fun day outdoors with supervision. The yard is a mix of dirt and grass with plenty of shaded area for rest. If I come to your property, I will follow set rules and schedules. I can clean up after your pet, make sure they have water and food, and administer medication if needed. My walks are typically 15-20 minutes and drop ins are 30-45 minutes.

“Wonderful attitude, prompt, and great with animals. What else could you ask for!”

About: For nearly 30 years, I’ve had the joy of raising, grooming, and caring for dogs, each one leaving a pawprint on my heart. My journey began as a breeder, where I developed a deep understanding of dogs’ emotional and physical needs. I’ve worked with pups of all ages and sizes, always using a gentle, calming approach rooted in holistic care and positive reinforcement. I use organic grooming products that are safe for sensitive skin and offer natural, wholesome treats as part of a nurturing experience. Whether it’s a peaceful walk, a relaxing bath, or a comforting cuddle, your dog will be treated like family, because they are. Caring for animals isn’t just what I do, it’s part of my everyday rhythm. My own dog, Rufus, is a constant companion, joining me for morning walks, sun-soaked afternoons, and peaceful evenings. Whether brushing out a fluffy coat or sharing a quiet cuddle, I approach every interaction with heart, presence, and care. Every dog I meet becomes part of the pack and part of a daily life filled with purpose, patience, and unconditional love. I believe that dog care is about more than just services, it’s about trust, connection, and well-being. I use only organic grooming products safe for sensitive skin, and I offer natural, wholesome treats to make every experience a nurturing one. From relaxed walks to tailored grooming sessions, I create a space where dogs feel safe, seen, and loved.

About: I am a dog lover who is currently in North Country San Diego, looking to care for any and all dogs while I am here. I am very responsible, loving, and likely enjoy the walks and playtime more than the dogs do 😊 I am currently on holiday in San Diego, and am free during the day, with a very open schedule. I have a car, and am able to travel, although I do prefer dogs and homes that are in North County. I am extremely aware and conscious of all safety matters regarding dogs. During walks I keep my eyes on the pup at all times. I have stayed in many homes, and consider myself to be extremely honest and trustworthy.

About: I was born into a household with a dog, and ever since then I have always had a dog at home. Now that I’m far from home I miss a furry friend and would love to pet sit or walk your pet! I have a flexible schedule so can really work with you on what works best to take care of your pet. I do travel a little bit, so my weekends might look different. I can easily follow instructions in regards to keeping your pet safe (keeping in crate, giving medicines, leashed walks, etc. You let me know how you want me to care for your pet :)

“Alison was quick to respond to my request for drop in visit. She called me to talk about details and I immediately felt a connection with her. She provided timely up dates and photos for her 30 min visits to my cat. I will be using her services again.”

About: Hello! My name is Mya and I absolutely love dogs. My favorite dog is your dog! I've always had dogs growing up and love to have them around. I live in Encinitas next to the beach with a private courtyard and lots of places to walk around! I understand every pet has different needs and I am happy to accommodate your doggie with any needs they may have. Updates and photos will be provided throughout the entire stay. I am also happy to do meet and greets before booking! I would be deeply honored if you trust me with a member of your family and I will treat them with the utmost kindness. Can’t wait to meet you both! 🤗 Schedule: I work full time currently, so I am unable to take weekday requests. However, I am free on the weekends and Friday nights for boarding, daycares, or walks. Environment: I live in a gated community with friendly neighbors and lots of space for your dog to play and be outside. I also have a spot for their doggie bed! I’m very attentive and set alarms for when we should go on walks or give medication. You will also receive pictures throughout the entire stay.

“Brice was great with my dog and also very easy to communicate with and responsive. Brice was reliable and always on time for the drop ins. My lab is pretty rambunctious, and Brice was very accommodating of his energetic temperament. I got at least 3-5 photos and videos of every potty break/walk and could tell my pup was very happy with his new walker. I would definitely use Brice again and highly recommend to others!”

About: I came to D.C. for law school and had to leave both of my dogs behind with my mom in California. I miss them a lot and am looking to spend more time with dogs and give them all the love I can't give my two pups back in California. I have had labs and golden retrievers all my life, so I have a lot of experience with bigger dogs, but I don't discriminate--I am a dog lover through and through. I am working an internship for the summer, but I am still available mornings and nights during the week. I am also available all day on weekends. I generally love being outdoors and will go on long walks, hikes, or runs with your dogs.

“Haryln was such a joy to work with! She was very prompt in responses and left thorough notes about my dog, Winnie. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for pet care.”

About: Hi! I’m a part-time nurse and a new Rottweiler puppy mom. Life at the hospital can be intense, so spending time with dogs is my way of taking a much needed mental health break. I genuinely love caring for pups, big or small and I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I work part-time as a nurse, which gives me plenty of time during the week to focus on pet care. Walking dogs and doing drop-in visits is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s a great way for me to reset, and spend time with animals. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and safe by sticking to their usual routines. On walks, I make sure they get plenty of exercise and breaks. During visits, I provide playtime, and lots of attention to help them feel happy!

“Victoria was very thorough with the walk through and got along great with our 8 month old puppy. She was able to get into our condo and play with Oliver for an hour while we were away. She was able to give him enough stimulation so that Oliver wasn’t full of energy when we got home. Would definitely recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a rover to help with their puppers!”

About: I've owned multiple breeds of dogs from overly energetic Jack Russels, to water-loving Huskies, to lap cuddling Maltese. I am excellent with dogs and would love to spend time with your fur baby. My specialty is tiring out active medium to large breed dogs, however I'm happy to tone it down to a stroll for your elderly or pocket-sized pup. Positive affirmations and personalized attention are a given as well! I am also a big gardener and am able to water and maintain your garden/indoor plants while you’re away as well. I have experience with caring for disabled dogs and for managing aggressive behaviors in dogs as well. I have full open availability for walks, dog park play sessions, hikes, beach outings and overnight stays. My dog can tag along or stay home depending on your preferences. I will treat your dog with as much care and love as I do my own girl, Chloe. It is a scary and daunting process to find and trust a pet sitter which I understand first-hand. I can assure you I am obsessed with dogs and would be honored to spend time with your fur babies.

About: This is a new profile in this app, and my rates are lower because I want to get more customers and reviews :) I grew up surrounded by loving animals — five dogs, two cats, horses, and bunnies were all part of my daily life. Pet care isn’t just a job for me; it’s second nature. I’ve developed a calm, confident energy that animals trust, and I treat every pet like family. Whether it's giving extra patience to puppies, gentle attention to seniors, or understanding each pet’s unique personality, I bring lifelong experience and genuine love to every visit. I am usually free after 5pm during weekdays, Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's usually free most of the day and I love going to the dog beach if the owners allow it :) Pet care is my passion and love, helping other people with my skills is my life purpose. I care about my client's pets very much. I do my best to follow their instructions and listen to their needs. I am attentive to detail and very kind to animals. I love to make them happy and have a good time with them.
