House Sitting in Grant Hill, San Diego

“I can't sing Aerial's praises enough!! We have had her sit for our girls several times, and she’s the best sitter we have ever had- and we’ve had many! She was proactive to ask for a phone call prior to our meet up to ask great questions about the one chihuahua we had at the time, and what she could do to provide the best care for her (which no other sitter has done). Martini is an older girl with congestive heart failure so we like to keep her as calm and happy as possible and prefer someone to be at our home more often than not. Not only did Ariel provide the best care and attention possible with walks, buggy rides and lots of couch and cuddle time, she also stays here at the house (or is out walking them) pretty much the entire time -which she totally does not have to do and is not expected, but she didn’t want to leave Martini's side. Before our first sit I told Aerial that we were thinking about adopting another senior dog and she was so happy to hear that as she has fostered many dogs in the past and is a huge proponent of that. She told me that if we ended up adopting another dog before our trip that she would be more than happy to help Martini assimilate to the new dog as she has lots of experience with that. We found the perfect companion dog for Martini just days before our trip and I don't think we would have felt comfortable bringing a new dog home or going on the trip if it weren't for the loving expert care that we knew Aerial would provide. She even offered to come over a few nights prior to our trip to sit with Martini and our new chihuahua Frida while we went out to dinner with friends so they could get used to her and her dog Brandon prior to our trip. That was so thoughtful and appreciated and just another example of how she goes above and beyond even though she doesn't have to. Her assistance in assimilating Frida into our household was such a gift! She is like a dog whisperer and an angel at the same time 🥰 Her dog Brandon is such a sweet boy and took to Martini and Frida right away and you could tell they were going to be great friends. He brings the same loving sweet energy as Aerial does, so don’t let that deter you from hiring her if you are worried about having another dog in your house. Martini usually ignores other dogs but you can tell she loves Brandon. The photos and updates Aerial sends are so great and sweet! When traveling we feel we can totally relax and enjoy our trip without a worry about how our dogs are doing with her loving care for them. 10/10 recommend her expert care”

About: As a registered nurse I cannot commit to being a doggy parent yet, but I sure do love helping other families and their pets. While having strong integrity, I believe my ability to meet animals where they are and respect their quirks makes me an ideal pet sitter. I see that every animal is an individual and would love to adhere to a routine that you set out for them. I am currently taking a short break from nursing and enjoying exploring San Diego. I have open availability until mid-September. Beyond that, I would love to fit pet sitting into my routine and will see if I am able to accomodate that with a new schedule. I typically work 3 12 hrs shift so that does leave some days open. I try to always adhere to the pet's routine and love learning likes and dislikes. I have worked in other's homes before as a home-based therapeutic worker with children and have also done tons of babysitting. I am always easily accessible and leave places better than I find them.

“Luna was well cared for and even got to have an outing. She was happy and healthy when we returned and we are so grateful, especially with a last minute booking.”

“Victoria watched my sweet, anxious doggo for a quick weekend and was very wonderful! She took great care of her and gave my pup the time to warm up and met her where she was at. Definitely would use Victoria again and recommend her to anyone needing some great care/love of their pet!”

About: Hi I have been around animals my whole life, growing up with both cats and dogs. I’ve had a dog of my own for 8 years, giving me personal experience in canine care, behavior, and training. In addition to my personal experience, I volunteer at The Animal Pad in San Diego, working hands-on with rescue dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I ensure every walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s needs—whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energy-burning adventure. I am currently only working remotely so have very open availability to sit and walk pets! I'm available Mid-days, evenings and weekends to house sit or walk! Am able to dog/cat sitting at your home and walk dogs! I am also able to board dogs overnight if friendly with other dogs as I have one of my own!

“Colin made it possible for us to have a four-day weekend getaway without any stress or worries about our fur babies. My wife was somewhat anxious and debated about canceling our plans, but once we met Collin she was no longer worried! When we did our meet and greet, we knew right away that he was the right choice. Collin is professional and expressed a sincere interest in taking care of our dogs. Once we left, he sent us a photo of their first walk; this made us super happy and gave me peace of mind. Through out the trip he would send us updates and send us pictures. He fed them on schedule and took them on their routine walks every day! He even gifted them a toy! That was super sweet. Collin went above and beyond for sure! We returned to our house, hugged our dogs and even found our patio looking more tidy than before. Collin is definitely our first and second choice for taking care of Puggy and Coco. These days it’s hard to trust anyone, but people like Collin gives us hope that there are trustworthy, caring, and genuine people. Thank you Collin for being there for Puggy and Coco! P.s. he even fed our mice trio and watered our plants! ~ JC ‘n Caya”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life -- both my own dogs and as the go-to sitter for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Across my extensive time caring for dogs, I have gained experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am particularly good with nervous or timid dogs, and I am very comfortable with dogs who have special medical needs. Last year I had to say goodbye to my own greatly beloved dog after two years of very intense cancer care. While I am not ready for a new dog of my own yet, I am eager to shower other people's dogs with affection and care. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog care most days. On days listed as available, I am able to spend almost all of the time at home with the dog(s). I do not currently have any other animals in the home, and your dog will receive my full attention! I have a wide variety of dog beds for them to try out and toys for them to play with.
