About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for multiple pets, including helping with feeding routines, walks, play, medications when needed, and creating a calm, safe environment for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important consistency and trust are when someone is leaving their pet in another person’s care. My schedule is very flexible since I work and attend school online from home. That allows me to be present with pets throughout the day and provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with a secure enclosed yard and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I currently have a friendly cat and create a safe, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed.

“Brittany was communicative, kind, and super open to my requests. I tend to be more anxious leaving my pup but she put my mind at ease. ♥️ looks like they had a great time.”

“My dog immediately loved Zaira, and Zaira was great with her. I really appreciated Zaira’s messages and pictures throughout the day - I knew my dog was in great hands. I hope to be hiring Zaira again soon!”

“Brenda was very patient with my 2 cats, who had never been left alone before. She took care of everything and I was very happy with the service she provided. Will definitely book again if needed.”

“My pup is incredibly special to me, and I’m very particular about who I trust to take care of him. Samantha’s service blew me away! She is so detail-oriented, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about my little guy. She kept me updated on everything and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. My pup has certain quirks, and she handled each one with patience, love, and care. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver!”

“Paige was great! We came to San Diego with our pups on a trip and wanted to spend extra time away from our airbnb. She gave them some company and let them out. She sent me pictures while she was there and made us feel comfortable being away from our babies longer. Thank you!!”

“Vanessa is the G.O.A.T.! I was worried about leaving my older dog behind for five days, as her only interest in life besides food is ME. The dog and I have a pretty codependent relationship. But Vanessa was not only super responsible with visits, walks, and food, I could see in videos that my dog was warming up to her and even looking forward to seeing her. Vanessa kindly sent me lots of reassuring photos and videos, which made a big difference. And on return my dog looked calm and healthy. Vanessa's care made all the difference. She's fantastic. THANK YOU VANESSA!”

“She has been absolutely amazing! When my husband and I need a dog walker in the future we will definitely be rebooking through her. Thoughtful and so great with Ziggy that my dog jumps for joy when she comes by to get her :)”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable dog lover who enjoys staying active and spending time with pups of all kinds. I have a 7-year-old adopted dog, so I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet. I also have experience pet sitting for friends and roommates and am comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m currently available on weekends and would love to help your dog get some fresh air, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’ll also send updates and photos during our walks so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands! I’m available for dog walks throughout the week and offer boarding during the week and on weekends. I enjoy spending time with dogs and am happy to work with your schedule and your dog’s routine to make sure they get the care and attention they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I’ll follow your instructions, pay attention to their needs and behavior, and make sure they’re safe and happy throughout our time together. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care.

“This was our first time using Rover. Ivy did a great job checking in on our dog for the three days we were gone. I appreciated her detailed daily check in notes and photos! I also appreciated that when I first messaged to inquire if she was free for the job, she responded quickly and came for a meet and greet that day. I would reach out to Ivy again for future pet care.”

“Shannon was great with Copper! She was timely, communicated well, and took a lot of photos. I would trust her with my boy anytime.”

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.

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: 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.
