About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior pups who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic puppy training, including potty and crate routines, leash manners, and basic commands, and I’m happy to follow whatever training methods you use at home. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs and understand the importance of adjusting walks, playtime, and daily routines to their individual mobility, energy level, and needs. I’m experienced in caring for multiple pets at once and managing different personalities, feeding schedules, walks, and routines. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else; they’re part of the family and I’ll always treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’m currently training and teaching jiu jitsu classes which allows me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. Im able to build my schedule around your pets specific needs or energy levels and love going for little adventures to the park, beach, or where ever your pets favorite spot is! I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m clean, tidy, and mindful of your space while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their normal routine. For overnight or multi-night stays, my dog Lola does need to accompany me. She is a sweet, senior Rat Terrier who is accustomed to being around other pets. I typically provide daily photos and updates but am happy to provide whatever makes you comfortable in knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Very grateful for Monica, she took such amazing care of Violet and gave Gunther so much love and attention which I appreciate so much. Violet went on long walks and also started her heat cycle in the last few days of our trip, which Monica handled perfectly! Would definitely book her again and recommend her to care for your babies❤️❤️”

About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’m attentive, reliable, patient, and comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. As a cat owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and plenty of attention. I’m already a pet owner myself, so caring for animals is a normal and important part of my everyday life. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines and household guidelines closely, keep their space secure, and give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

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: Hi, I'm Tennille, a caring and compassionate dog lover. I will treat your dog like it is my own. I live one block from Golden Hill Park. I'm available for walks or a play in the park. Unlimited cuddles available. I’m reliable, responsible and easy going. I don’t mind dogs on the furniture. I don’t currently have a dog of my own so I can give all my attention to your pet(s). I live in apartment with a small patio which dogs love to sunbathe on. I am also open to coming to your house/apartment if you or your pet feel more comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I work from home so I can dog sit during the day. I live near two parks, Golden Hill park is a couple blocks. Also, close is South Park with the backside of Balboa Park and the Grape Street dog park. I have a flexible schedule where I can take walks as needed. As far as the weekends, I spend my time with dog-loving people and so a lot of the time we only go places that welcome dogs. We are so lucky to live in San Diego and have such great weather to enjoy patios. I treat all pets like they are my own. I would respect the owner's instructions for care. I would also respect any home I’m in like it is my own.

About: Hi! I’m Madelyn 😊 I’m a reliable, loving sitter based in Golden Hill! While I don’t have a backyard, I do have a secure, gated balcony where your pup can safely relax, sunbathe, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day ☀️ I also live in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood with nearby parks and dog parks for pups who are dog-friendly and enjoy getting out and exploring. Your dog will get lots of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. I love incorporating walks, playtime, and calm, cozy downtime so they feel safe and at home. Outside of pet care, I’m a therapist — which means I’m naturally attentive, patient, and nurturing. I genuinely love coming home to dogs and creating a peaceful, loving environment for them while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic or more calm I’ll make sure they feel comfortable! I DO NOT HAVE ANY PETS OR CHILDREN IN THE HOME 😊 I don’t work Saturday-Monday. During the week my husband helps with afternoon walks and care since he works from home 😊 We treat your pet like ours! I have a balcony where your dog can be outside and it will be gated for them. I will treat your pet like my own.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We’ve had everything from a maltipoo to a 100+ lb German shepherd so my variety in dogs is large. I would be happy to take your dog on walks, dogsit on vacation at your place or mine, and check in for potty breaks. I currently work part time and have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. I’m available most days and evenings except tues/thurs and Saturday during the day. My Saturday shifts are typically no longer than 8 hours. I live in an apartment with no yard so dog sitting would most likely be best in the comfort of your home unless that’s not what your dog needs. I’m happy to sit at my apartment as we can go on walks or play at the local part for grass time.

About: Hi, my name is Annie. I am a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors going on 10 years now. I also have experience working as a manager at a dog rescue, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and those with traumatic backgrounds. I value the relationship between people and animals greatly and am committed to giving your pet the same love and care I give my own. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I take care of my sweet girl, Jubilee, as well as 4 cats. This means feeding everyone in the morning and evening, and walking Miss Jubilee. A dog beach is her fave place to be. Oh and can’t forget the litter box! I care for my clients’ pets just as I would my own. Learning their personalities and behavioral queues is always a joy for me that makes mundane daily routines the best part of my day. Bathroom breaks, breakfast & dinner, medications, walks/runs, quality cuddle and play time, I’ve got it all covered. Adhering to your pets normal routine while your away is important to ease any anxiety they may feel while separated from their people.

“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: Located in Sherman Heights near East Village and Golden Hill, perfect for long walks and fresh air. I recently lost my 8-year-old lab/pitty mix and am hoping to continue engaging with dogs while dealing with the loss. I have also fostered rescue dogs, am experienced with highly energetic dogs, and injured or disabled dogs. I've always loved animals and thought this would be a fantastic way to earn additional money and do something I love. Eager to provide a place of love and attention for dogs temporarily separated from their owners. It's stressful enough to be away from your pet without worrying if a kennel will provide them enough attention and engagement. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I work from home full time so can give your dog all the love and attention they need. My schedule is pretty flexible and I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible. I prefer to take dogs out at least twice daily for walks, including one longer scent walk where we let their nose lead the way. I live close to downtown San Diego and can easily walk to East Village or Gaslamp which is are extremely dog friendly areas. I have a small fenced-in yard and can easily crate your dog if necessary. I have experience administering oral medications if necessary and always keep a well stocked pet first aid kit in my home and car. If caring for your pet in your home, I can adapt easily to their routine and will meet your pet at their comfort level.

“Armando was a life saver! I needed a last min walk because I got so busy with work and my pup was being a distraction. He was so kind and Presley came back very tired (yay)! I’ll book him again for sure”

“Finding a dog walker while I worked night shift over the holidays seemed almost impossible but Lisa came to the rescue and I am so thankful!! She sent lots of pictures and updates from her walks with my pup and I felt very confident in her caring for him. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I know Winston is looking forward to more walks with her in the future!”

About: Hi there, I’m Hannah! I grew up with dogs and have 10+ years of dog sitting experience. I also have 3 years of dog training experience and working in a doggy day care. I have worked with all kinds of dogs and their varying personalities & needs. My own dog is anxious by nature, so I am well-versed in helping dogs feel supported and safe in more overwhelming environments. I work from home and create my own hours, which offers a lot of flexibility for dog walking. Caring for dogs is second nature to me, and walking them is one of my favorite hobbies! I am a firm believer that dogs are our companions, unique living beings, and deserve to be treated as such. Based on my dog training experience, I have learned how important it is to create a safe and supportive environment for dogs rather than forcing them to fit into an unsupportive one.

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.

About: Hi pet parents! I'm Rowan 🙂 My partner, Kendall, and I, along with our 4-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, Goose, would love to host your pup in our home oasis! Just steps from Balboa Park, our large house with a huge fenced yard is the perfect spot for dogs to relax, get outside, and soak up the San Diego sun. Kendall and I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and on Rover for 6+ years, and we genuinely love spending time with new dogs. Kendall is also an avid dog trainer, having trained a service dog and working with many friends' and family's dogs too, so your pup will be in experienced, capable hands. Goose is great with all other dogs—she loves to play but also knows when it's time to settle down and relax. She's spent a lot of time around elderly dogs, so she's especially comfortable with a range of ages and energy levels. I am a freelance sports journalist, so you can often find me at home getting some writing done on the couch with Goose curled up by my side! Your pup will get lots of cuddles, company, and attention with me. As high-energy dog owners, we are super active and are always out walking around the neighborhood, so your dog's energy needs—whatever they are—will be taken care of! We would absolutely love to care for your pup as we care for ours! I work from home a majority of the time and when I'm working out of the house, my partner is usually home. We are never out of the house for longer than five hours, but can make always accommodations if a dog we are caring for needs more frequent potty breaks. We always fit two 45-minute dog walks into our daily schedules regardless of whatever we have going on! I will always take the best care of both your pet and your house! I know that accidents with pets are inevitable sometimes, so I will help with clean up or tidying up if needed.

“Triston was a life-saver while I was recovering from a broken leg! Always on time and took great care of our dog. Maisie loves her and will miss their walks together. Thank you again Tristen:)”
