About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both small and large dogs. Before moving to Escondido, I regularly watched and walked dogs in my apartment complex, which gave me experience managing different temperaments in shared living environments. I’ve rescued and cared for several dogs, which has given me a strong ability to recognize and respond to the needs of anxious or stressed pups. I currently work in the pet service industry, so animal care and safety are always top of mind, and I have access to trusted pet care professionals whenever needed. Your dog will be cared for with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. I work from home full-time, so your pup will always have company, attention, and plenty of belly rubs throughout the day. Dogs are included in my daily routine with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods that match their energy level and needs. I’m happy to follow your dog’s established feeding, walking, and medication schedule to keep things consistent and stress-free. If there are ever any schedule changes, they will always be communicated well in advance. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having new friends around. I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. If your dog is anxious, shy, or prefers their own space, I can easily block off portions of my home to provide a quiet, secure area just for them. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where every dog feels at ease and cared for.
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've lived with and taken care of pets practically all my life. I've helped bath, walk, brush, play with, or just keep them company.

I’m also open to overnight house sitting with advance notice. I do my best to be dependable, responsive, and work around your pet’s routine. I know pets feel safest in their own home, so I do my best to keep their routine consistent while you’re away. I follow feeding, potty, walk, and medication instructions carefully, while giving them attention, patience, and a calm presence.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, growing up with multiple dogs and cats in my home in Colorado (5 dogs and 5 cats over the years).

I currently have my own cat, Flynn, and also have experience with smaller pets like hamsters and fish. I love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own.

Great communication and an instant positive connection with the dogs! She was amazing and I didn’t have any second thoughts or stress knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I highly recommend Jacqueline if you want a caring, punctual, and responsible dog sitter who is capable of handling any and all challenges thrown her way!
I had an amazing experience with B this past weekend while I was at Coachella. She was incredibly attentive, clearly cared about the little details, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent lots of great photos of my cats, which I loved, and kept consistent communication the entire time. It’s such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again, highly recommend!
Breanna is truly so attentive, careful, knowledgeable, timely and kind. We had her drop-in on our cat for a week and she was the perfect sitter. Her communication was wonderful and each time I felt like she offered solutions not just problems. We felt that our cat was in great hands with Breanna. She is exceptional and very obviously cares for animals. We would hire her again and again.
Carolina was excellent, thoughtful and trustworthy taking care of my pets while I was away from home. She took the request on short notice and was still able to get fully familiar with my pets routine so that she could handle everything they need. My pets both drew to her immediately and she gave very positive and detailed updates as I was away. I highly recommend her for drop-ins and extended requests, and will definitely book her again.
