Pet Sitting Horton Plaza

About: I’m a big animal person! I’ve always grown up with a number of different animals that, of course, includes cats and dogs. I’ve dog sat puppies, teenage, and senior dogs alike! I started dog sitting for friends and family when I was about 16, and have always lived with dogs. I super understand how fur babies are just like family and have a big heart for them! I’m currently a full time student and I work part time. I have been having an itch to spend time with dogs because they just make me happy to be honest! Life can be stressful, so I’d consider caring for your pups a stress relief and a middle booster for sure. I can’t exactly have my own dog at the moment, so I thought pet sitting might be the next best thing! I would follow the owners guidelines and make sure to take care of wolf their fur babies exactly how they would! Playing with them, feeding them, taking them out, and giving them cuddles whatever it may be! I have a cat who is my best friend so I understand how important these fur babies are to us!

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’m happy to provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for—and for you to feel completely confident while you’re away! I also work fully remote and I am available during the weekdays! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while still maintaining a consistent routine. Because I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also flexible with different schedules and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away! I’ve been caring for coworkers’, friends’, and family members’ pets for over 8 years. I don’t have pets of my own, so I’m able to give your pet my full attention. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment while following their normal routine and your care instructions closely!

About: I love spending time with my 13 year old pug, Yoshi. I enjoy meeting all of the dogs, and I understand deeply how important pets are to us. I am currently working part-time, and that leaves me plenty of time through the week to get out, enjoy the beautiful weather and hang out with your dog! Having had a variety of dogs throughout my life, I understand that every dog, and their needs, are unique. So wether yours needs slow walks in the grass or long walks downtown, I'll get those paws moving!

“I booked Aleksandra for two drop ins. Arranging key drop off was easy. She followed directions well and made sure my auto cat feeders and fountain were working. She also gave my clingy elderly cat a cuddle! She even got an action shot of my skittish young cat, I didn’t expect her to even see him lol. Would book again.”

Sarah R.

“She is the best rover we’ve ever had. Extremely communicative, can problem solve, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with the animals. Highly recommend!!”

Nick J.

“Roni is a great professional sitter. She took such great care of our pets, and they looked genuinely happy and content. Our sweet Jerry Berry felt comfortable and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

About: What sets me apart is that my love for animals comes with hands on experience! I worked at a dog daycare for over a year, where I cared for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. That experience taught me how to recognize different behaviors, make sure dogs feel safe and comfortable, and give each pet the individual attention they need. I also have years of experience caring for my own dog, so I understand how important it is to have someone you truly trust looking after your pet. Whether your pet loves lots of playtime and attention or needs a little extra patience and a calmer environment, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I work full-time during the week, but I have plenty of availability in the evenings and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention. For overnight stays, I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also have more flexibility on weekends and love spending my free time with animals! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences your pet may have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and companionship while you’re away, while also respecting their space and personality. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own! I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Jarrod was great with my dog Brook!! She is normally very shy around new people but she liked him instantly! He also made sure to wait to feed her after the walking her”

About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

“Armando is awesome! From the time we made contact, communication was great. My cat, Buddy, really enjoyed his time, and we are very grateful for Armando's commitment to Buddy's health and to the safety of our home. The first couple of days Buddy wasn't feeling well -- Armando and I reviewed the symptoms, made adjustments to food and medication, and within 24 hours we had turned a good corner! I got photos, activity reports, and we had a few phone calls at my request to make sure Armando had what he needed to keep my spoiled kitty happy :-). Thank You Armando!”

“Darya is absolutely amazing!! She is such a caring and considerate person with both humans and pets. She left detailed notes and photos every time she visited, and treated our pets as if they were her own. Every time I have left my pets to go on a trip I have felt stressed and anxious, and this time I felt 100% comfortable and confident in Darya. I bet my pets will miss her so much when we get home! She was also flexible and understanding when another sitter canceled on us last minute and stepped in to help, making our lives and our pets so much easier. I will absolutely be booking with her in the future :) Cannot recommend her enough!!”

About: Hi! I’m Amy, a dependable and attentive dog lover who understands how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pet. I have a senior dog of my own, Sammy, so I’m very comfortable with the routines, patience, and extra care that some dogs need, whether that’s slower walks, medication routines, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m active, responsible, and love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to tailor care to your dog’s needs, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, or relaxed companionship at home. I’ll care for your dog the way I’d want someone to care for mine: safely, lovingly, and with lots of attention to their unique personality and routine. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I do have a standing commitment on Monday and Wednesday mornings that takes me away for a few hours, but outside of that I have a lot of flexibility and can often accommodate a variety of schedules with advance notice. I prioritize safe, attentive, and individualized care for every dog. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, temperament, triggers, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m mindful of leash safety, secure doors and gates carefully, monitor for signs of stress or discomfort, and make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and a calm environment. I also understand that every dog is different, some want lots of activity and play, while others do better with a slower pace, extra patience, or a more structured routine. My goal is always to make dogs feel comfortable!

“David is a great man! He took care of my puppy like it was his own. My dog was recovering from a sickness and couldn’t be boarded(to protect other dogs). He had medication he was taking to help. David came and helped him through it! I am BEYOND grateful for the services that he provided. He sent plenty of photos and videos so that I can track my puppy’s progress. He was very communicative the entire time! Easily, my go-to sitter!! Highly recommend his services!”

About: I have worked with dogs for more than a year and would definitely be the best pet sitter & walker and treat them like my own. i am avaliable part time due to enrolling in college. I am pretty flexible with scheduling and will do my best to work hard and as many hours to take care of the fur babies. I can easily follow directions and will make sure to go the extra mile to keep any dog/dogs safe and make sure they are always happy and comfortable around me and also plan to keep the owners updated as much as possible throughout my care.

About: I started by taking care of my moms 4 dogs when she would go on vacations and needed a dog sitter. That really taught me how to feed them efficiently and when to take them outside to go potty. From there I learned how to hang out with them and play with them efficiently. I am a college student with classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I am available for the entire day and night. On Wednesday and Friday I'm available at night, Monday I'm not because I have a night class. Staying over night is not a problem, along with check ins during the days even on school days. I love dogs and am really good at feeding them, taking them outside, and playing with them. I'm not a trainer, but someone who is good at taking care of them while you are away. My mom has 4 small dogs so I'm very familiar with smaller dogs, but I have also watched bigger dogs as well.

“Kaitlyn was extremely communicative, punctual, kind, good-humored, and got along very well with my cat. My cat seemed well cared for when I got back from my two week trip and everything was tidy and in its place. I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kaitlyn!”

About: I've been the proud momma of 2 different lab mixes and many cats! I have experience pet sitting in the DC area including check-ins and walks! I am currently getting established in La Jolla, CA after moving from Washington DC, so my schedule is quite open! I'm looking to spend up to 20 hours a week caring for little fuzzy friends. Gentle and empathetic care of animals is super important. I love getting to know each pets personality and needs so that I can make them feel safe and happy by giving anything from quiet and space to pets and kisses!

“Sandra is great with my basset hounds. They were not happy about getting their bath at first (being the spoiled children they are), but she has charmed them and now they are happy to see her!”

“Nicholas took fantastic care of Pete! He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures. We appreciate the time he took to play with him while we were out of town.”
