“Mckennah was wonderful with my three dogs. Not only did they thoroughly enjoy some outdoor play time at the park but she managed to trim the nails of my oldest dog who doesn’t even like me to do that! Many thanks!”


“Renea and her family are the best! Everyone was so kind and welcoming to my pup Nya and made her feel right at home. It was my first time using this service and the pictures she sent throughout the day let me know that Nya was being loved and having a great time. I highly recommend her for daycare or overnights. Thank you Renae!”


“Kathryn & Matt Took great care of Charlie. Charlie was always excited when we pulled up to their house. They have a nice setup for your pet to play in the backyard or go on walks in a nice neighborhood.”


About: I have had pets for most of my life. My family and I currently have one very playful dog, two cats and a bearded dragon. I, along with my family, have cared for family, friends and neighbors pets for several years now. I work from home, usually only leaving during the day for a few minutes in the afternoon for school pickups (most days I take my dog with me) or the occasional quick errand. I take breaks throughout the day for indoor and outdoor pet play time and daily walks. While I am usually home, if I need to be away for a time there is almost always at least one family member home. When working, my office door is always open. I have a fenced yard for outdoor play time and potty breaks and plenty of sidewalks, trails and parks near my home for daily walks and places to explore.


“Angie and her family are wonderful. They genuinely love dogs! My puppy Samson was loved by Angie and her family... even better he came home and slept all night! That’s the sign of a good daycare! Thanks Angie! We will be back!”


About: Our experience includes dog sitting several dogs at a time from family friends to dog breeders. We have a loving home for dogs and always excited to meet new fur friends! Our two dogs: BlackJack and JoJo (Catahoula Leopard Dog & German Shepard) also love to say "hi" or play - both are very friendly! If your dog is active and likes to play, then they will love our 0.5 acre fenced yard. Or if they prefer hanging out, we have a huge deck for them to use. We have plenty of dog beds in the house for them to relax in. Work from home, so we are always watching your dog. Our dogs go for walks in the morning and the evening. Since we are working from home, we can do as many potty breaks as needed, especially if they are puppies. We have a fenced yard. Our backyard is over 0.5 acre. They are always supervised when the dogs are in the backyard. Dogs are welcome on the couch or if they are crate-trained, then we have some available for both small and bigger dogs.

“Gwendolyne was amazing! I was in a pinch, just visiting the area and had a show to attend, and was originally planning to leave my dog at the place I was staying while I was gone, but there was a lot of noise and commotion, so the day of the show I was scrambling to try and find a less stressful situation for my dog. Not only was the request last minute, but the hours were late, and I was losing hope I’d find anyone to take my dog. Gwendolyne was so sweet and communicative. She took such good care of my dog and I felt at ease while I was away. I’m so grateful that we found her! Definitely recommend.”


About: I’ve owned varying breeds of dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve been watching friend’s and family’s dogs and cats for over 20 years. I was a vet tech for about a year and I’m proficient in pilling dogs or giving injections. I also have volunteered with Second chance dog rescue as well as frosted faces. I’m currently working from home part time and have plenty of availability. I also have weekday and weekend availability to watch dogs in my home. I have a fully fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep them company. I also have crates and puppy pens for when I have to leave for errands for everyone’s safety.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, getting “my” first puppy when I was 16. In 2022, our family began fostering pups through a national rescue. We’ve helped friends who just need a safe place to wait for their forever homes, but we also had medical cases who needed medicine administered, regular vet checks, and a high attention to their condition, health, and wellness. Our family will treat your furbaby as our own, following your specifics for their care, and adding all the love and attention we can! I’m a full-time homeschooling Mama of four who also works from home. Since I’m home a lot and my schedule is flexible, I’m available at all different times and can work with your schedule. Our pets are like our kids, able to run amuck wherever they like! They can snuggle on the couch, cuddle on pet beds throughout the house, and hang out in our backyard. The yard isn’t huge, it’s a woodchip area, but we have a community green space nearby and are up for walks there as well!

About: Hi! I’m Ana — a compassionate and experienced caregiver specializing in senior pets and those with medical needs. I’ve lovingly cared for my own aging dogs and cats, including blind, diabetic, and mobility-challenged companions. I’m confident administering insulin, oral meds, supplements, and supporting pets on specialized diets or comfort routines. I understand that aging pets need a little extra time, patience, and tenderness — and I provide just that. Whether it’s help with stairs, gentle walks, or a calm lap to rest on, I’m here to offer steady, attentive care while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I’ll keep you updated with notes, photos, and peace of mind:) Caring for animals is already woven into my daily life. As a lifelong pet parent (including senior and special-needs animals), I’m used to early mornings, meal prep, medication routines, walks, cleanups, and cuddle time. My days are structured around care — whether it’s my own pets or yours — so showing up reliably and compassionately is second nature to me. I build my schedule with flexibility to give each pet the attention and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, an overnight stay, or a daily walk, I integrate pet care smoothly into my week, keeping communication open and routines consistent for peace of mind — yours and theirs 🐶🐱💛 In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s familiar routine — meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and medications — with as little disruption as possible. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and always follow your instructions carefully. I bring a calm, grounded presence and take the time to build trust, especially with older or shy pets. In my own home, I provide a quiet, cozy space and a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised and treated like family. I’m mindful of their energy levels and comfort, especially for seniors or those with medical needs, and I make sure their days are calm, enriched, and consistent. Whether I’m visiting or hosting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority — and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way 💛🐾

“Kathryn was so sweet and accommodating! Our dog, Cocoa, took to her right away (and Cocoa doesn't like most strangers)! Kathryn is super-responsive, and though we only had one doggie day care day with her, I can see why she has so many repeat clients. We would definitely use Kathryn again if we are ever in the Escondido area!”


“Marta is a great sitter for our pup, making sure that he feels safe and comfortable. She sends lots of picture updates as well, which is nice. We feel confident leaving our dog with her.”


“Moon took great care of our Lab girl and even worked with her on some commands. Moon has a sweet pup that played with our girl and our pyp was returned to us happy and worm out for a good nap. We'll use her for future pet sitting”


“Benny was in such great hands with Mindy and Brian. They were extremely responsive, very sweet, and welcoming. This was our first time doing a doggy day care, and I felt at ease knowing he was in their care! They updated us with photos of Benny which was great! Thanks so much for the awesome care!!”


“Janean's home was exactly what I was looking for for my dogs. She has lots of room for the dogs to run around and she limits how many dogs she has at one time. My girls came home happy and tired :)”


About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and care for them with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors — and I adjust my care based on each dog’s individual needs and energy. What sets me apart is my calm presence and emotional sensitivity. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, understood, and completely at peace, just like they would with family. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I do some local deliveries during the day, but I always come home for lunch and stay nearby. In the evenings, I’m always home, so your dog will have plenty of company, care, and attention throughout the day and especially at night. I offer a peaceful, clean, and welcoming home where your dog will always feel comfortable and cared for. I only take one dog at a time, so they receive my full attention and a stress-free environment. Dogs are free to rest wherever they feel most at ease — on the couch, the bed, or their own cozy spot. I stay nearby during the day and am always home in the evenings to ensure they’re never left alone. Their routine, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: I have completed over 40 walks on Wag!. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy bonding with each dog. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’m comfortable handling both shy and playful pups. As a university student taking online courses, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my availability to fit your pet's needs I will ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your pet by following your instructions carefully.

Angela M.
“Our dog Fergs seemed to have enjoyed his day with Angela and her family. They were great and accommodating with our short notice request. We would definitely use them again.”

Melissa R.
“Melissa is one of the most responsible and loving caregivers that you could possibly choose for your pet. She treats animals in her care like they were her family. She is kind and patience and enjoys just being with animals. I have had her multiple times walk and care for my Nolan, and each time he saw her, he reacted with so much joy and excitement just being with her. I would trust her anytime and with any of my pets. With Melissa, you have one of the best.”


Amanda & Mandee F.
“What an honor to share my experience about Amanda’s nurturing dedication to not only her family and pets but to animals who aren’t hers as well. My experience and knowledge of Amanda’s level of dedication and responsibility go back several years to when I was working in rescue. Many of you may not know that rescue is a fast paced heart wrenching journey that often doesn’t come with a lot of answers when placing a dog but rather lots of questions and unknowns. As a rescue coordinator I felt relief when Amanda and her family were caring for one of our dogs. I knew that she would be watchful and communicate any and all information to us that would help us get to know and care for the dogs we were responsible for. From feeding special diets, quiet decompression time, to walks with the whole crew and let’s face it…all the kids are so gentle and caring as well. Not every dog is easy and many had some interesting challenges…we walked them together and was I grateful. Come time to find a very special unique girl a home (little did we know she was already home), and this pup wasn’t going to be easy to care for. Amanda knew what the challenges were and was willing to walk that journey no matter what to make her officially theirs! If you’re looking for someone who will love your pup when you’re not available, give great feedback to what she’s observing and know she can be trusted with making your pup a priority…she’s that and so much more.”
