“Claudia went above and beyond to help us out with our young puppy on a busy week when one of us was out of town. She was so flexible with her schedule, coming and caring for our dogs at our home. She even cleaned up our dog run, which was so kind and totally unexpected! This was our second time having Claudia care for our dogs, and we'd look forward to her help again!”


“Alicia was great with providing updates with Dino. He had plenty of enrichment being with Alicia and her daughter. It was great to have him with a fellow dog about his size and such great people to care for him. I would book with her again!”

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve helped neighbors and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and general care, and I’ve also fostered kittens. I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors who need a gentler approach. Spending time with animals means a lot to me, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m a full-time student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or check-ins, I can adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs and keep their schedule consistent. My schedule is especially open during the summer, with even more daytime availability. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority. I take the time to follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and any medications—so your pet feels secure and well cared for. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, stay aware of our surroundings, and choose calm, pet-friendly routes. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and ensure everything is secure while you’re away. For boarding and daycare, I offer a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I have a small fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m happy to take dogs to a nearby dog park if requested. I’m mindful of each dog’s comfort level and energy, and I tailor care to match. I provide consistent photo updates for walks, meals, medications, and playtime so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to offer dependable, thoughtful care that gives you complete peace of mind—and helps your pet feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home.
About: I love dogs and cats! I own one of each, and have fostered about forty. I have learned great leash-training skills, and behavior management of fearful dogs to help them feel more comfortable. I am fit and enjoy exercise, so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or even hikes! I can also administer treats on a walk if a dog needs some leash-training. Most importantly, I will treat your pup with kindness and affection. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the summer and holidays. For care in my home, I only live about five minutes from work, making it easy for me to check on animals during the day. For care in your home, I bring my own dog with me overnight. She is good with other animals. I am currently home full time for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside and love to take dogs for walks. I am also happy to chill inside and relax and give scritches. In my home, I have a secure fenced yard outside and a large crate available inside. At others’ homes I am respectful of my surroundings and treat all animals and property with great care.
“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”

“They were amazing with Moose! We had a last minute need for dog sitting and they were able to accommodate within 30 minutes. We felt quite lucky. They even provided their own leash, water bowl, bed, and treats so we didn’t have to leave his stuff at all. Thank you both!!!”

“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: Hi, I’m Niki! I’ve had over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and grew up in a household with them, so being around pets has always been second nature to me. Friends and family consistently rely on me for dog sitting because they know I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, my love for them has never changed. I’ve had my bunny for about six years now, which has only strengthened my patience, consistency, and commitment to caring for animals every day. I also volunteer doing dog walks and “day out” trips at the Humane Society, which has given me experience working with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. I prioritize safety, routine, and creating a calm, comfortable environment so each dog feels secure, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home four days a week, which allows me plenty of time to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and regular walks throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to maintain feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and exercise without feeling rushed. Because I’m home most of the week, I’m able to provide a calm, attentive environment and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m also available for weekend care upon request. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets comfortable while maintaining their usual routine. During walks, I ensure dogs get safe, structured exercise tailored to their energy level, along with positive reinforcement and attentiveness to their surroundings. Safety is always my top priority. For drop-ins, I follow feeding schedules closely, refresh water, provide potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment, and give plenty of affection so pets don’t feel stressed or lonely. I also monitor their behavior and overall well-being during each visit. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“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.”

“Aidni watched my dog after I created last minute plans. She was super accommodating and welcomed my dog into her home. My dog has an existing back/ neurological injury and normally after a dog sitter, his symptoms come back, but with Aidni, he returned home the same way he arrived. I will gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her services!”

“Colean is amazing! You must book a pup sitting with her. Our puppy was overjoyed when we picked him up from her place. He was exhausted from such a fun day! Colean kept us posted about him, sent us photos, videos and definitely knows so much about dogs. Thank you!”

About: Taking care of pets runs in my family big time. My grandparents would always have at least 3 cats at a time, plus would volunteer to take care of homeless cats and dogs. My childhood was full of rescue experiences thanks to the kindness of my parents' hearts. I am deeply committed to our furry family members and know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet when you're going on vacation. Luckily, I have lots of experience taking care of pets from birth to their very last days and everything in between (medication administration, special care, baths and much more). My goal is to be pet-centered and give them exactly what they need - whether it's more space and peace, or snuggles and playtime. I'm currently working remotely from home, so I'll be able to pay a lot of attention to your dear pet. The flexibility my job provides will allow me to meet the needs of your pets and adjust to their schedule if needed. I live in a house in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood perfect for walks. I also have a big crate in case your pet needs it.

Claudia went above and beyond to help us out with our young puppy on a busy week when one of us was out of town. She was so flexible with her schedule, coming and caring for our dogs at our home. She even cleaned up our dog run, which was so kind and totally unexpected! This was our second time having Claudia care for our dogs, and we'd look forward to her help again!

We absolutely love Renae! We were a little nervous leaving our pup, but we didn’t need to be. She is fantastic and made us feel so comfortable. Our dog has made so many new friends and clearly has a blast—he comes home happy and exhausted every time! One of our favorite parts is receiving photos of him playing with his friends; it makes our day! Highly recommend Renae to anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their furry family member!

Lena took great care of my dog Mungo yesterday. He has just gone through two big moves recently, so he’s been a bit insecure and quite nervous. Lena shared he was whining quite a bit when I first dropped him off, but she handled it really well: she took him outside, tried to distract him, and made sure he felt more comfortable. Throughout the day she sent me plenty of updates, which I really appreciated and which gave me peace of mind. Communication was easy and pleasant, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making Mungo feel safe. Overall a very good experience, I would definitely trust Lena with Mungo again.

They were amazing with Moose! We had a last minute need for dog sitting and they were able to accommodate within 30 minutes. We felt quite lucky. They even provided their own leash, water bowl, bed, and treats so we didn’t have to leave his stuff at all. Thank you both!!!

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!

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.
