Pet Sitting Encinitas

“Tori has been an amazing dog sitter for Pearl. She is very reliable and makes me feel like my dog is in excellent care. Would recommend her to anyone 💕”

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: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.

“Jen was super helpful doing a drop-in visit for my golden retriever fairly last minute. She always takes such good care of him and he’s always excited to see her! She’s flexible and communicative which is really appreciated.”

About: Hi! My name is Kendra, and I've been around animals my entire life. From growing up with dogs to riding horses, caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I've rescued a kitten and found her a loving home, fostered a dog that was adopted by a past roommate, pet sat neighborhood animals, and cared for my sister's Rottweiler and playful Pitbull puppy. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or simply spending quality time with your pets, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention as my own. I have a flexible work schedule during the week. I’m also available to take your furry friend on walks and provide care throughout the entire weekend. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule—I can’t wait to meet and care for your best friend! I care for pets as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll follow your provided schedule for feeding, take them out frequently for bathroom breaks, and go on multiple walks to keep them active and happy. Playtime is always a priority, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away!

“Sahar is wonderful!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was born (German shepherds to the little white crusty guys to more recently - French bulldogs!) I also love cats - all animals are friends of mine and I will treat them like I do my own! I work from home next to Moonlight beach and am super active. I would love to help get your pet some exercise or give them some love during my free time. I will get to know your furry friend and make sure to get them the exercise and give the attention level that helps them thrive!

About: Having grown up with dogs always around, I am very comfortable caring for and loving on pets. We've had several medium sized dogs, including a golden/collie mix named Caesar and an Australian cattle dog named Roo. Since I work remotely on a flexible schedule, I’m available to walk and visit your fur baby virtually any time on weekdays. I am out of town most weekends. I am always up for couch cuddles and depending on the owner and dog’s comfort level, can socialize as much or little with friends and other dogs outside of our home.

About: I’ve always had a love & passion for animals & have taken care of dogs & cats since I was a little girl. I’m currently a Vet Assistant & have been in the industry for about 3 years. I have emergency experience since I work at a Vet ER hospital & in the General Practice for Veterinary Care. I’m working full time & per diem at my other clinic. For house sitting while working, I spend as much of my free time with the pet at the owners residence. I love interacting & being with pets. That includes taking them on good walks that tires them out but they also get their enrichment in

About: Hi pet parents! ♥️ Thank you for considering me to watch your sweet animals. I’m Amanda Joy, an international pet sitter, Animal Reiki Master 🐶, public health professional, and dog yoga teacher 🌞 I absolutely adore animals and am here to love your beloved pets while you are away🐕 🐱 ✨ I’m 33 and am experienced pet sitting locally and around the world. I spent the majority of 2021 pet sitting around the world while working remotely in public health🌴🌺✨ During my time pet sitting around the world, I spent two months living in coastal town in Panama watching three sweet and hilarious dogs - I absolutely fell in love with these dogs and miss them everyday. I’m still in touch with the family (I visited them recently). Prior to Panama, I was spoiling two adorable, high energy labs in Puerto Rico for three weeks. Before that, I lived in NYC where I completed my masters & then Washington DC where I spent seven years working at the AMA. Throughout my lifetime I’ve always been surrounded by very special animals. I grew up with a golden retriever who beat cancer and lived until she was 15. My lifelong friend has a border collie/Aussie mix that I’m a second mom to - she travels extensively for work so I’ve spent months at a time living at her house watching him and I love him like my own. My “niece,” Zoey, is a very active (and happy!) golden retriever, who I shower with love when I watch her. Recently, I spent three weeks watching a friend’s adorable golden doodle, Winnie, in Hawaii. We spent every morning and evening on long beach walks and lots of ball throws! And of course, cuddles all evening. I also regularly watch another playful golden doodle puppy Juniper—I love being Aunty Mandy to these dogs! I’m constantly surrounding myself with wonderful animals and watching my friend’s pets when they travel - I am so grateful for all of the animals in my life. I cannot wait to meet yours! ✨I also offer energy healing for animals to help them with their emotions & past traumas if that’s something you are interested in. I have a flexible schedule and lead an active lifestyle - I do lots of outdoor walks throughout the day (in all weather!) and dog park trips :) I am currently available for home stays only - I’m very clean, responsible, and attentive - happy to provide additional reviews from clients from my long term dog sit clients in NYC, Wash DC, Panama, and Puerto Rico.

About: I love dogs but can’t have one of my own where I live so I love dog sitting and dog walking for friends. Eventually the hobby turned into a side gig! I work part time so I am available in the mornings until 9:30, then I have a long lunch break from 12 to 1:30, and I’m free again after 4. So I have lots of time for play visits, bathroom breaks, and walks. I can’t have dogs at my place, so I can only take care of dogs at other peoples homes. I’m happy to spend the night if your dog likes company but just as happy to go home after a night walk.

About: Ever since the age of 12, I have taken care of dogs that belonged to my neighbors, friends, and family. It's always a joy to work with all kinds of dogs! I was fortunate to be brought up in a pet friendly household. Currently I have one dog, two guinea pigs, and one horse! I love dedicating my time showing them lots of love and tend to their needs. I currently work full-time as an educator, but I have a flexible schedule outside of work that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available anytime on Sundays and Mondays, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m available in the afternoons after 5 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they need. I have experience caring for many dogs and cats and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I always take the time to learn what works best for each pet, whether that means following a specific feeding schedule, giving medication, providing extra attention, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and safe. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care and make sure every pet gets the same quality of care I would want for my own.

“This was our second time having Marie care for our two cats. She is very responsible and always gives feedback and pics on her visits. She follows instructions on feeding and supplements which is important to me.”

“Lauren was amazing! I felt so confident leaving and taking some time for myself after she arrived. She was so sweet to my dog and I will definitely be asking her back!!🩵”

About: I bring a unique combination of experience, maturity, reliability, and genuine affection for animals to every house sit. As an experienced sitter with TrustedHousesitters, a longtime business owner, and a former mayor, I've spent much of my life earning people's trust and taking responsibility seriously. I especially enjoy extended stays, where pets can maintain their familiar routines and receive consistent companionship, affection, exercise, and attentive care. I'm active, health-conscious, and love getting outdoors, making me a great companion for dogs who enjoy walks and adventures. I'm equally happy providing a calm, nurturing environment for pets who prefer a slower pace. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires tremendous trust. I'm exceptionally respectful of people's property, attentive to details, and committed to leaving every home as beautiful as I found it. My goal is simple: happy, well-loved pets, a beautifully cared-for home, and complete peace of mind while you're away. When I'm pet sitting, my routine is scheduled around the needs of the pets I care for. I care for myself in the spaces in between. I'm mostly retired so I do a little internet in the morning and some exploring and exercise midday. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I believe animals thrive when their familiar routines are maintained, so I take the time to understand each pet's personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before you leave. When caring for pets in your home, I provide a calm, attentive, and loving presence while respecting their established environment. I'm conscientious about securing doors and gates, maintaining a clean and safe space, and ensuring pets receive plenty of companionship, exercise, playtime, and affection—all tailored to their individual needs. Communication is equally important. I'm happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family members are happy and well cared for. As an experienced house sitter, longtime business owner, and former mayor, I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail. I treat every home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own. **My goal is simple: happy pets, a secure and beautifully maintained home, and complete peace of mind while you're away.**

About: Hi! I've been lucky enough to grow up with animals my whole life, and I can't imagine life without them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, frogs, a bearded dragon, and even a tortoise. Being around so many different animals has taught me that every pet has their own personality, quirks, and way of showing love. I have experience with pets of all ages, from young kittens to senior dogs. One of my own dogs lived to be 16 years old, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that older pets sometimes need. I also attended training classes with him, which helped me learn more about understanding dog behavior and building trust through positive reinforcement. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I’m also a runner and very active myself, so I love keeping up with energetic dogs and getting plenty of exercise and outdoor time together! My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I'll always do my best to keep you updated with photos and messages. I'd love the chance to meet you and your pets and help make your time away a little less stressful! As a recent graduate currently applying to grad schools nearby, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to plan my days around walks, drop-ins, and playtime, making sure pets get consistent attention and care. I’m also happy to do overnight stays when needed. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own home, and I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Because my schedule is flexible right now, I’m able to be reliable and fully present for each booking without overcommitting. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities and always adjust to what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether they’re energetic or more laid-back, I give them the attention and care they need. I also respect your home and keep things tidy, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
