William and Miranda took amazing care of Punky! They did a great job of getting her settled and they have a lovely yard for a dog to explore. Highly recommended!!

My dog and I met with Shane and Chris for a meet-and-greet before I booked them for a day. They were so nice and genuine during both the initial visit and the day-of daycare that i was put immediately at ease for leaving them with my senior dog. I got to see their backyard (so spacious!), and I knew that Ghibli would love sunbathing there and be his lazy self. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.

It’s been a while since I’ve used Rover to have my pup watched, and I’m so glad to have had Ziting watching him! She responded extremely fast, and I was so relieved she said yes—considering it was a less than 24hr sitting request. I received pics and vids from the daycare stay, and he looked so welcomed & happy. I’m sure Saint had a blast with her and Zuzu since he is now napping. Super professional, and I already had a feeling she’d be amazing at drop off! She was extremely flexible, and I can’t thank her enough. 10/10 sitter. Highly recommend! I would definitely book again.

It was clear that our 2 year old pup had a great time playing with Jessica's dog all day. She passed out on the couch right after dinner with no interest in training or treats, she was that tired (which we love for her). We look forward to having Jessica care for her more in the future.

About: Since I was young I have had my own dogs and cats and watched and walked my neighbors' pets as well. Back in July of 2022 I adopted my Labradoodle, Breck and he is the best boy! I now have the pleasure of basically having full time care of my boyfriend’s adorable Golden, Avery. They get along with all dogs, big and small, so they will make a great playmates for any of your furry friends! I currently work from home M-F. I am free during the day for drop ins and walks! I have pups of my own so I’ll already need to be out and about with them anyways :) I am able to feed and play with pets. Clean litter boxes for cats and walk the pups! And of course give them all lots of love and treats :)

Lisa is so fantastic. She took the best care of my little girl and made sure she was comfortable and confident. You can immediately tell she's a dog lover and understands their little personalities and needs. She was so easy to communicate with, extremely flexible with drop off and pick ups, and sent the most adorable photos. Thank you so much, Lisa!

Michelle is awesome! I had to book my feisty 6-year old chihuahua mix Scout with her for a couple days while they did fire alarm testing in my apt complex. From the jump, she was kind, communicative, and understanding as traffic put me a little behind schedule dropping him off. Both days, she updated me with awesome pictures of Scout enjoying himself at her place, and playing with her dog Bella. She took amazing care of him. Will definitely be booking again.

I will for sure be using her service again. She was so patient and gentle. Her own pups look so happy, that tells you a lot. And my pup was so happy to see Alexandra and her pups daily for daycare. Thank you!!!

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️‍🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈‍⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available. (I understand sometimes things happen last minute and you need a trustworthy person to step in and care for your pet).

About: I’ve always loved animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. From energetic pups that need long walks to older dogs that prefer slower strolls and extra attention, I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day—no one gets lonely on my watch! I love keeping dogs active with walks, games, and belly rub breaks, and my spacious, secure yard is perfect for running, sniffing, and a little zoomie fun. I also enjoy spending time with cats, giving them gentle pets, cozy spots, and extra love while making sure they feel safe and happy. Being home means I can follow each pet’s routine, offer plenty of cuddles, and make every day fun and stress-free for your furry friend. I have a large fenced in yard where your pup can play fetch and have endless potty breaks but also have the ability to crate if needed!

About: I have cared for bottle babies all the way to senior animals that need meds and additional support. Big and small I love them all! I have socialized the shyest of cats, and the pups that pull and bark. I can administer medication oral and otherwise. I also know how to use a variety of leashes and collars. I have walked over 300 dogs, and work with a reputable rescue in SD to foster cats and puppies. I am my family and friends’ resident dog sitter for many years! I’ve also volunteered at shelters and adore all animals. I’ve even sat for snakes, Guinea pigs, and a skink! I work full time from home, so I will be able to give your loved one 24/7 care! I love taking walks around the neighborhood in South Park, and so naturally already spend a lot of outdoor time. I live right next to a dog park, and have a lot of flexibility. We have a dog friendly resident cat, and thus have a lot of cat and dog equipment at all times in our home. A lot of cozy spots to rest! I will care for your pet as if theyre my own! I am the trusted go to person for all my family and friends, and have over 20+ years of experience. I also work with a reputable rescue in SD who have done frequent home visits and partnerships. I’ve cared for over 100+ animals in my home or the person’s home. I follow instructions very well, and am a very neat and tidy person!

If you’re in the downtown area are looking for somebody in the downtown area. Cara was really good. She was able to take care of Samara my dog very well making sure she took her on walks very periodically. More than other sitters that I have experienced. She will make your dog feel like one of hers while keeping you updated throughout the day. Cara provided pictures and text update's if you’re looking for a sitter, Cara is perfect.
