“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!!”

“Jazmin was very communicative and thorough in her Rover Cards, which I really appreciated! I would definitely book her again :) Thanks, Jazmin!”

“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!”

“Brittany was awesome! She was very friendly and upbeat and, although Luna is a bit shy, I think she had a great time when she stopped over. Will definitely book with Brittany again and am very thankful to her for looking after Luna :)”

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a husky and has since fostered dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently live in South Park, right between Golden Hill, North Park, and Balboa Park, making it easy for me to take your pup on enriching walks through some of San Diego’s best dog friendly neighborhoods. Because I regularly foster, I have extensive experience with: • High energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between • Puppies • Medical fosters: including administering oral meds, topical treatments, and basic care instructions My priority is always your dog’s comfort and happiness. Whether your pup needs structure, slow introductions, extra cuddles, or a calm environment, I take the time to understand their routine so they feel safe while you’re away. I provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pup will be treated like family here. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced sitter or walker in South Park / North Park / Golden Hill, I’d love to help care for your dog! I look forward to meeting your pup! I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent attention and care. On my days off, I love being outdoors and frequently walk around my South Park neighborhood, so your dog will get lots of fresh air, movement, and enrichment. I’m available throughout the day to keep your pup’s routine on track and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and fully cared for from morning to night. I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I make sure every pup is walked on a consistent schedule, fed according to their routine, and given plenty of playtime and affection. Because I foster regularly, I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities and energy levels, from high-energy dogs who need lots of activity to shy or slow to warm up pups who need patience and gentle structure. I also prioritize mental stimulation throughout the day through enrichment activities, sniff walks, puzzle toys, and training games to keep your dog engaged and happy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your dog’s routine closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

“Ivy was extremely communicative and caring when taking care of our two cats. She went above and beyond, taking time to figure out their favorite treat flavors, brushing them so well that their coats got way softer, and taking lots of cute pics and sending them our way while we were gone. We’ll definitely be working with her again!”

“Yesenia is awesome and has extensive experience with both cats and dogs. She was so patient with Axl as he is a puppy and a bit shy around people. She is responsive, has great communication during check-ins and take lots of pics. Thank you Yesenia 😃!”

“Leyla was absolutely amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and flexible to our needs. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was getting attention, care, and affection while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and would trust them again in a heartbeat!”

“If I could give more stars I would! Olivia was so professional, kind, and personable. She followed my requests for my kitty and he loved her! She was quick to respond to messages and was very sweet with my cat. I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family and rebooking.”

“Great sitter who spends time hanging out with the pets and gives them lots of love! Always made sure there was enough food and water, would recommend”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have taken care of family and friends dogs overnight and daily check ins. I currently have a 4 year old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon and we put in about 3-5 miles a day to get his energy out! My roommate also has a Labrador who joins us on walks as well. My dogs won't join your dog for a walk unless you specifically request play time. I am currently between jobs so I have a lot of time to take care of dogs. Available at any time and most days. Just need a day notice in advance and I can usually make it work. I have a fenced in front yard and two other dogs if your dog wants to play with others! Multiple walks a day, dedicated play time, and trips to the dog parks available.

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. You tell me what you want and we can make it happen.

About: I have no specific pet care experience but I have had many dogs, cats, reptiles since I was young. I have an incredible love for life which extends to animals highly. I work as an independent contractor so I have a completely open schedule and love being around animals note than humans at times. I have a natural warmth that almost all animals can sense and immediately create lifelong friendships. Always positive and plan to give your pets the most exemplary sitting experience known to man. I am willing to study or brush up on specific requirements depending on the animals in my care. I am very active and love to run. So I can run with your dogs or walk them, whichever you prefer. Also have tons of energy to play and make them sleepy and relaxed. Currently I work as an independent contractor building a financial brokerage and do Lyft on the side in my free time. So my schedule is my own and would love to find regular clients who have pets that would want some love and attention when their owners have work or trips that they can’t bring them along for. My roommate has own dog personally who I always look out for and make sure he is taken care of with water and food if necessary. HI’s girlfriend who lives here with us as well has two smaller dogs and two cats as well that I make sure are all in well standard of living when I am home and notice they need something. Both of them are great pet owners but life can be busy so I’m always there making sure they get anything that might go unnoticed at times. We have a large fenced in backyard where all the dogs can play and run around as well as use the restroom at will. I also take them on walks if my roommate does not have time with his mobile mechanic business.

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.

“Leilani did some drop-ins for our dog Moxie as we were away for the evening for a special event. I loved the reports we got from her with updates and our dog loved her at the meet and great! Will definitely be rebooking.”

About: I grew up loving dogs and have always considered them to be more than a best friend. They’re a member of the family! After COVID, I started dog sitting for friends and family members in my free time because it was so fun, and it was a nice break from my full-time job as a copywriter for Walmart’s corporate team. In 2024, I took my love for dogs a step farther and got my own puppy. His name is Yukon, and he’s a lovable goofball with lots of energy. I’ve loved seeing his personality develop over the last two years and having chats with him about what makes him happy (he’s a Pomeranian Husky mix, so he’s always got lots to tell me!) It’s been such a joy to watch him grow into the happy little man that he is today. My goal as a sitter is to give your dog the best care that I can offer. I’ve house sat for dogs that need some senior care (daily medications/specific food requirements), puppies that are just learning to navigate the world, energetic breeds that have high activity requirements, and larger dogs. I love them all and I’d love to offer you peace of mind knowing that your fur baby will be in the best hands should you choose to trust me with their care. ❤️🐾 I’m currently working part-time as a personal trainer trying to build up that business, so I have plenty of available hours for house visits, walks, and playtime. I live in a fenced in community that is very dog friendly. Your dog will be able to interact with Yukon—who is always looking to make new friends!—and the dogs in the neighborhood if they choose. It’s a great environment for socialization as well as for safety. I have room to crate your dog if needed or they are happy to explore my home and it make it their own as well. 😊 *Please note*: If you are hoping to book me for house sitting on an overnight basis, I will not be able to leave my own dog unattended. He’s absolutely great with other dogs and he loves people as well. I’m more than happy to do a meet and greet to see if it would be a fit for you and your pet, but if this is something you are not comfortable with, please book another sitter for this service.
