“Kaitlyn was such a lifesaver — she did a drop-in to walk + feed my pups, sent me photos, and replied to my messages quickly Would definitely book with her again?”

About: Hey there! I've been in raising and training dogs for a while and had a fun doing it. I’m originally from San Diego and am home for a few months after finishing my masters degree at Columbia University. While I don't have a pup of my own right now, I'm all about providing top-notch care. I absolutely love strolling around local parks, and exploring new places! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I've got some wiggle room to hang out with your furry pal throughout the week and over the weekends. Can’t wait to meet your fur-baby– they'll be in pawsitively great hands! RE: PRICES- I totally get times are tough, so I'm all ears for working out prices. Being in grad school, I’m available all evenings, free each weekend and have several gaps throughout the week! I take walks daily before/after work and on the weekends and would love to have a furry companion! I live near a few parks but there are many other parks walking distance from here. In my clients home, I will be sure to respect their belongings and be sure to keep any safety hazards away from their pets.

About: I've had pets my whole life, and I've always been considered the animal whisperer of my family. I've owned and cared for cats, dogs, birds (parakeets + cockatiels), freshwater fish, toads, ferrets, and event rats! I'm very in tune and informed on common health issues or changes in behavior that may indicate health problems I just recently moved to the El Cajon area and would love to care for your pets :) My availability is currently fully open! Feel free to message me with any concerns or questions! I'm currently job searching since I'm new to California, so my schedule is very open/flexible to any odd times you may need. I'm comfortable with adapting to however you would prefer your pets are looked after and cared for. I'm also happy to help accommodate any current training you may be implementing to help the process. Rest assured your pet will be cared for as if they were my own.

“Sarah will be staying this weekend for dog sitting and I wanted her and him to get used to each other. He was a bit nervous but she stayed with him and tried her best to make him comfortable. They will be friends eventually!”

About: I have three cats of my own (all successfully introduced as adults), and have spent my whole life taking care of the cats in my family. Over the past few years, I have been regularly caring for my friends pets when they go out of town for extended periods of time. I have cared for cats of all ages and personalities, from kittens to seniors and from outgoing to shy. I am also an artist, and will happily draw a portrait of your cat as an added gift with my care! I work part time at my day job 2-3 days a week from 9-5. I have a very open schedule, able to care for your pet any day whether that be morning, evening, or night. I have reliable transportation and don’t mind traveling throughout the county. When first cats, I allow them to approach me on their own to get to know me on their own terms. If allowed, I will given them a treat to let them know I am a friend. I will start off my visit by checking their food, giving them fresh water, and cleaning their litter box. Once I have spent this time around them, I will see if they are in the mood to either play or be pet. I will pay attention to their body language before initiating physical affection. If they seem like they are just in the mood to spend time in the same space without much interaction, I will either read a book or draw in my sketchbook so I can keep them company.

“Tahniiyah was very communicative and responsive to the needs of my senior cat. It was clear that she wanted to ensure I had peace of mind while I was away from home.”

About: I've had a lifelong passion for working with dogs and cats, and I've spent the past eight years dedicated to the pet industry. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from puppies to seniors. Whether it's feeding, potty walks, playtime, or grooming, I have extensive experience and a deep love for caring for furry friends. I’m excited to share my expertise with your pet! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I have an open schedule and am not working full-time elsewhere. This allows me to provide flexible and attentive care to your pet, ensuring they get the attention, playtime, and routine they need throughout the day! In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and relaxed. I ensure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and enjoy their time with me. I also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure their routine stays consistent. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their comfort and well-being by maintaining their usual routines, whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or playtime. I provide plenty of attention, love, and care while ensuring your home remains safe and tidy. My goal is to offer a stress-free experience for both you and your pet!

“Loren is amazing. Every day she sent photos and messages about my cats. She gave me peace of mind that my animals were in the best of care. So important, when you're away. Plus, she went over and beyond my expectations. Thank you, Loren.”

About: I grew up around both dogs and cats and have always genuinely loved animals. I’m an active person who enjoys long walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the amount of attention and affection I naturally give animals — I’m actually a pet portrait artist because of how much I love pets and connecting with their personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to each dog’s individual energy level and needs. I work part time as a pet portrait artist, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to include pet care throughout the weekdays. Because I create artwork from home, I’m able to provide dependable walks, check-ins, and attentive care during the day rather than only evenings or weekends. Spending time with animals is genuinely one of my favorite parts of my routine, so I enjoy making pet care a consistent and meaningful part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals, and affection based on their individual needs and energy level. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine, and I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and any special instructions you provide. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I grew up with many pets and learned how to care for them exceptionally well. I understand giving them boundaries and having fun playing with them are both keys to great care. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as I am a very active person who loves exploring as much as your dog does! When I started pet sitting about 15 years ago I found I had a gift for helping dogs and cats who have a hard time adjusting when their owners are away. I also specialize in senior care as I’m willing to do anything needed to help your dog or cat be comfortable, eat well, and feel loved. I interact with each one as the unique individual they are. Let me know all about your pet’s personality and special needs so I can be the closest thing to having you at home as possible. I’m currently in school a couple days a week and have flexible work which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups during the week and on weekends. I only care for pets at your home. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule to be there when needed. I can also do overnight house and pet sitting if needed.

“Maureen is amazing, so communicative, and she really cares about your pets! She’s so nice and friendly- all the animals love her! Highly recommend, will definitely book again!”

About: Hello! I am 27 years old and I have a range of experience with many different breeds, personalities and sizes! In my past, I’ve had a Golden Retriever, a Lab, three Pitbulls, a Pit/Husky mix, an English bulldog and a Miniature Schnauzer. I have very personal experience with a reactive and anxious pup and am more than willing to take my time to build that trust. I've also obtained a Certification in Veterinary Assistance and with my range of experience combined, I'm easily able to navigate through emergency situations and regular daily medical routines. Though I no longer practice Vet Med, I continue to stay updated with new techniques and treatments in order to stay proficient. I am currently in Pilot Training here in California to become a Commercial Pilot. Due to my training, I am unavailable my schedule changes weekly but able to give a notice a week in advance. I'm otherwise super flexible and am willing to come out same day! I unfortunately can't keep any pets in my home but willing to drive to you! My personal experience with the different breeds of dogs I’ve had in my lifetime has made me more than qualified for this position. I’m just looking for a part time job that I can enjoy, nothing better than being around a furry friend! ***For July dates and on, I am at the end of my training here in San Diego and will be relocating after. Because of that, I will not be able to give a set answer on my availability until mid June*** I'm currently unemployed during training so I'm basically free almost everyday. I get my schedule a week in advance so I'm able to give that much of a notice or if far enough in advance, I'm able to put in a request in my training schedule to accommodate to your pet's needs. But I have many hours after to spare throughout the week for a long walk or a drop in! If in dire need, I can walk/drop in around 6am. Please try to give a 2 hour notice just in case for traffic reasons 😊 Again, I unfortunately cannot have any pets in my home but I'm more than happy to drive out and take my time to ensure that your pet gets all the attention and exercise they need!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I learned how to wash dishes! I’ve walked dogs and puppies from 10lbs to larger dogs of 120lbs + When I spend time with animals, even in short amounts of times, special bonds are formed. Both parties just have a blast to be honest. I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian my whole life but as things have changed this is the closest thing to it. I hope you’ll choose me as your trusted sitter! I’m currently in the military Active Duty Shore. I do drop in visits around lunch time, and I’m up early in the morning for early morning walks and feedings before work starts on weekdays. After 4pm we play, go for walks, eat and play again. On weekends I’m available whenever. Sundays mornings are exceptions, being that I attend church. I only take care of crate trained animals in my home. Animals who are potty trained, and nothing bigger than 25lbs. I do live in a gated community with plenty of room to walk and run around outdoors. I also have a spacious living room and dining room area with no furniture. Spacious for small animals, their crates, and their zoomies! I do not have any pets or children. When it comes to clients homes, I clean when needed. And I stick to whatever schedule I’ve been given.

About: I have about 10 years of house sitting experience. I am comfortable with all types of animal. From dogs and cats to turtles and chickens! I currently work in education on Monday-Friday 7:30-4pm. I am excited to do walks after work and snuggles in the evening. And lots of love and playing of the weekends. Safety is a top priority for me as well as updates. I love sending pictures of what we are up to and the fun we are having.

“Shelby & Dalton are absolutely amazing! They always take the best care of my loved ones. They are reliable, trustworthy, and my babies love them. Strongly recommend!”

Laura S.

“Jordan was amazing! Our cat was clearly very well attended to, and it showed. Never before have we gone on a trip and NOT been violently accosted upon entering our home. Ginger is usually not satisfied until she has drawn my blood, and she is instead purring and headbutting me lovingly. Only affection from this fuzzy demon, which means she was well looked after.”

Gary C.

“Michaela is awesome!! She is very in tune with my dog’s behavior. She is kind and takes lots of cute pictures of my pups. And great at leaving detailed report cards.”
