5. Olya K.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was very young. I’ve grown up with both 2 dogs and a cat. As I’ve become an adult, I’ve had a dog of my own for the last 7 years. I also have fostered and actively volunteer with The Animal Pad, which is a rescue organization in San Diego. All of my friends always trust me as the first person they come to for dog advice or needing any help watching their dogs! I work full time remote so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am very active so i do wake up early to get a walk in with the dogs, or love to play if your dog enjoys the dog park! The dogs get plenty of potty breaks throughout the day and are welcome on our furniture and to be a part of our family for the time while watching your dog! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds and feel very comfortable if your dog has any special requirements either on the leash or in the home.
10. Andrew Y.
“Andrew has watched my dog a couple times and she loved him! He is very responsible and responsive. She loved being able to run around in his backyard. I am also a rover sitter and I would trust any of my clients with him!”
11. Christine V.
“Christine and her family are quite simply phenomenal. She sent me pictures of our dogs every day so I could see their daily adventures. I never had a doubt that my pups were being showered with as much love as they get at home- actually maybe even more thanks to her kids 😂 . Her property is everything a dog could ask for. Seriously, I would like to stay there too if I could. Highly recommend her for any pet care services and we will definitely be back!”
12. Adriana B.
“My dogs and I both love Adriana (Peachy). One of my dogs is very anxious of new people and she warmed up to Peachy so quick which made me feel like she had a great welcoming and calming vibe. My other dog is high energy and is part pitbull part boxer which can be an intimidating mix but Peachy came in with such loving energy! She made a great dog walker / sitter. Highly recommend”
13. Tatum C.
“Tatum went above and beyond to care for our kitty while we were away! We’re super grateful for her amazing care and highly recommend her to others”
14. Donna & John C.
“Excellent! Came to visit twice and walked/ fed/ played with Mocha. Did a stellar job and gave us updates on the spot! Truly appreciate and highly recommend!”
15. Lauren B.
“Lauren is a dear friend and was a roommate of mine for many years. I have a cat who quickly took to Lauren as quickly as she took to him. They were basically inseparable. I always felt confident & at ease leaving my Ted in her care.”
16. Emily C.
“Emily took great care of Stella. Would definitely book her again!”
17. Nicole J.
“Nicole watched my two chihuahuas for a week. I could not have been more satisfied with her care. She always updated me on how they were doing with pictures. She took them on multiple short walks throughout the day. They came back to me happy and healthier than when I left them! My kids have been sneaking them table scraps and she kept them on their diet I asked her to do, and they came back noticeably trimmer! They were never lonely and spent the days with her as she works from home. Even at night she let Hurley cuddle her! She is very sweet and I 100% recommend Nicole!”
18. Elizabeth B.
About: In the past I have dog sit my neighbors two senior pugs for a duration of days, they were awesome. Personally, I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and I have always loved their company. My largest pet was a 120lb Rottweiler and he was the sweetest boy. I am comfortable being around cats and dogs of various sizes and ages. It would be a pleasure to spend time with and care for yours too! I am a college student and will not be available on Monday or Wednesday afternoons because I will be in class. I am available on all other weekdays and weekends. At my home I feed my dogs and cats twice a day, give treats for good behavior and change their waters daily. I pick up their poop and frequently wash their blankets. I am kind and patient and familiar with the zoomies.
19. Matthew W.
“As a pet owner, peace of mind is crucial when entrusting someone with your animal. Not only is Matthew reliable, professional and trustworthy, his genuine compassion for pets is evident. As a dog owner himself, I’ve had the pleasure of watching Matthew interact with his furry companion, Tas, and it is obvious she’s well loved, safe and secure. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, Matthew stands out from the rest. Look no further!”
20. Caroline S.
