About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned and cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. I’ve had several rescue dogs over the years and understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have years of experience walking dogs, caring for pets while their people are away, and have even traveled across the country with dogs—so I’m very comfortable adapting to different environments and situations. I’m a mature, dependable and nurturing caregiver who understands how important it is to trust the person caring for a member of your family. My professional background also includes working as a certified Home Care Aide, which requires a criminal background check, and I’m a college graduate. I’m responsible, communicative, attentive to instructions, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine one-on-one attention. I believe pet care should be more than simply stopping by to feed or walk them. I’ll spend quality time playing, exercising, interacting, giving treats (with your permission!), and providing plenty of love and cuddles. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, calm, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort and normal routine will always come first. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, treats and household routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will spend meaningful time with your pet rather than rushing through a visit. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, getting plenty of attention, and being genuinely cared for in their own home.

“Katherine was the best. Super professional and great at communicating + warm and fuzzy with my dog. My dog clearly loved her”

About: As an animal lover, I’ve grown up with all sorts of critters for my entire life (dogs, cats, birds, and even a pot belly pig – oh my!). One day I’d like to have an animal sanctuary. My favorite thing is getting to know a pet and making them feel safe and comfortable while I’m taking care of them. Pet care is a daily part of my life already since I have a couple of senior fur babies at home! I have a flexible work schedule so I can always make sure that I’m a part of your pet’s day when I’m taking care of them. Trust is a big part of hiring a pet sitter. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow any instructions a pet parent gives me with walking, feeding, and behavior. I’ll make sure that every pet gets extra love while you’re away.

About: I have 15 years of caring for pets of my own and well over 10 years of sitting for neighbors and friends pets. I have experience with dogs (of all sizes), cats, and pocket pets of all ages. I even have experience caring for elderly pets and those that require medication. Education background in animal care (Bachelor's in Animal Science and Associate’s in Animal Care and Training). I work part-time for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. I usually work early mornings and late evening shifts a few days a week. I have a flexible schedule and readily available most mid-days. Through my personal experience and education background I understand how to handle animals safely and confidently. While also ensuring your pets comfort. I understand leash safety and feel comfortable walking dogs of various sizes.

“One of our dogs is very wary of new people and takes a long time to warm up to them. Not with Kali. She met him once before we left on vacation. Her first walk it took him 2 blocks to chill out. After that he was so stoked to see her and leave the house with her. Dogs came back so happy and fully exercised. Highly recommend. Will 100% use her again.”

About: Growing up wanted a dog but my parents allow it so did the next best thing which was dog sit for my neighbors. So I have many years of experience sitting all types of dogs. Love the company of a wonderful dog. There’s nothing like the energy from a happy pup that loves to play. I just started training for a half marathon I’ll be running in March, so if your dog is used to or if you want me get him/her active, i would be able to do so. I’m working from home currently so I have a flexible schedule and would love nothing more than spend some quality time with your precious pup. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your amazing pup.

About: Lifelong dog lover with lots of experience! I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way. I grew up with a golden poodle and absolutely adore dogs. There a lifelong best friend. As a college student, my schedule is pretty flexible. I have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m free most of the week and have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’ve been dog sitting for years and truly love caring for every pup I meet. I treat them like family, giving them lots of love, attention, playtime, and walks while making sure they always feel safe, happy, and comfortable. 🐶🤍

About: I grew up with dogs, from Shihtzus to Boxers, and kitties from short hair Tabby to long hair Siamese. I always say yes to watching my friends animals when they go on trips as I don’t have a fur baby of my own yet. They all deserve the most love and attention and I want you to feel safe that I would treat your pet as my own. I am in the process of retiring from the military so hanging out with animals is just the boost of seratonin I love! A must is sending you regular updates and photos to keep you in the loop! I retired from the Navy January 1st of this year so my schedule is super flexible! I started going to school so I have class Monday-Thursday mornings but that’s my only solid commitment at the moment. If your animal needs to be crated that is doable, as well as letting them roam free in the house or to come for adventures along my side.

“Our pup loved his walks with Savannah! I usually stress abt having anyone care for him in my absence, but she made the whole thing very easy and worry-free for us. We even got little report cards of his walks and activities. We’ll def be using her again! 🤍”

About: I have worked with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I love seniors, puppies, and all ages! I have experience with senior dogs who need that extra special care. I have been dog/cat sitting for my friends and family for over 15 years and I am very excited to meet more furry friends to add to my life. I am excited to meet you and your beloved pet! I currently work from home full time and am able to accommodate your pets needs. I can take them on potty breaks as needed and on a walk before , mid day and after work. I am open to your pets needs and energy level. I can accommodate your needs for your dog. If you want them crated, I can do that. I can do special diets and rigid feeding times.

About: I understand leaving your baby with a stranger can be scary at first, I am here to help ease the worry! I grew up caring for and loving all animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, lizards, snakes, fish, hamsters, amphibians, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, horses, pigs, cows, chickens, goats. I would spend my weekends on a farm and had many animals growing up! I am also very eager to learn about new animals and grow my experience. I will take care of your animal as if it were my own. I live with my Fiancé who works a full time job. He has a hybrid schedule. I am currently unemployed so I do not have a full time job. This allows me to have a more active lifestyle with your pet! I understand it can be scary leaving your animal with someone you don’t know. I don’t have any other animals and will give your animal my undivided attention. Willing to do meet and greats before hand as well!

“Vanessa is absolutely amazing. She is extremely accommodating and has not once said no to helping me out even if it’s a few hours before. She takes the best care of my puppy Lucy and always goes above and beyond for her walks as well as sending me the cutest pictures during. I highly recommend her to anyone nearby!!!!”

Why I love Pet sitting: I have always been an animal lover and have even made a career out of it!

You'll come home to the happy and healthy pets you had when you left! My experience administering medication * Giving your pet oral medications (pills or liquid) * Giving injections - SQ fluids, Insulin, ect. * Applying medications in your dogs eyes and ears * Applying topical medications, flush and cleaning wounds * Recognizing, Understanding, and Handling Emergency situations Caring for pets is what I do full-time! As a bonded and insured professional pet sitter, my days revolve around caring for dogs and cats.

I truly treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes through dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I believe pets are happiest and least stressed when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. During each visit, I follow your pet's personalized care instructions, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of affection. My dog walks are one-on-one, allowing me to give each dog my full attention while keeping them safe and engaged. For overnight stays, I maintain your pet's daily routine from evening through morning, providing companionship, regular potty breaks, meals, medications, and lots of love while you're away. After every visit, I send detailed updates with photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind. As a bonded and insured professional with years of veterinary experience, I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and respect I would give my own.
