About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who understands how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone you trust. I’ll treat your pups like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including senior dogs and pets who may need extra patience or attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I know every pup is different, so I try to match their routine and make their stay as stress free and fun as possible, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I'm mainly a stay at home mom while working remotely a few hours/week so my schedule is very flexible! I'm available for doggy day care, boarding, drop-ins and walks! Our home's living area is a bit small so I understand if that does not work for the bigger dogs! But, as long as they don't mind, we don't mind! We have a fenced yard with a grassy area where your dog can relax outside. There is a small doggy door where the smaller dogs can have independant access to the yard. Larger dogs would not fit through the doggy door but since I'm home for most of the day, I will be able to provide outside access whenever needed. I have one small dog name Leo who is 9 years old. He is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix. He is mellow and prefers to keep to himself. I can separate Leo from your dog if needed! Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pup with someone you can trust, and I do everything I can to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions, just let me know!

About: I developed a deep love for dogs at a young age, spent two years volunteering at animal shelters, and have hands-on experience walking enthusiastic pups. I'm currently taking multiple summer courses in the afternoons, so my mornings are free for dog walks. I’m also available on weekends with more flexible scheduling options I will ensure all doors to the outside are tightly closed and all possible hazards, such as large household appliances, are closed or properly stowed away.

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 have a deep love for animals and specialize in premium Estate & Multi-Pet Care. While I provide patient, heartfelt care for dogs of all ages, my expertise goes much further. I am highly experienced in managing households with diverse pets: including cats, farm animals (chickens), and exotics (turtles, lizards). I understand the logistics of running a large property and ensuring every single animal gets individualized attention. What sets me apart is my calm presence, emotional sensitivity, and total reliability. My goal is to give you absolute peace of mind: your home will be perfectly secure, and all your pets will feel safe, understood, and loved like family. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. As an independent professional, I divide my time between home and pet sitting, managing projects for my house-painting business, and doing some local deliveries during the day. Because I control my own schedule, I stay flexible, return home for lunch, and remain nearby throughout the day. In the evenings, I am always in for the night, so your pets will have plenty of company, care, and attention when they need it most. My goal is to keep their routine consistent, make them feel safe and loved, and give you peace of mind knowing both your pets and your home are being cared for with respect and responsibility. I offer both in-home pet sitting and boarding. In your home, I keep your pets’ routine familiar and consistent while respecting your space, following instructions closely, keeping things clean and secure, and sending photo updates. I can also help with basic home care, such as mail/packages and plant care. For boarding in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and only host one family’s pets at a time. In both cases, my priority is your pets’ comfort, safety, and routine.
