“Darylee and her family were so good to our pups! I’m so glad they were able to stay in such a wonderful place with such great people. We’re so thankful they were able to help us out and take in our babies during the holidays.”

About: Hi! I’m Ana — a compassionate and experienced caregiver specializing in senior pets and those with medical needs. I’ve lovingly cared for my own aging dogs and cats, including blind, diabetic, and mobility-challenged companions. I’m confident administering insulin, oral meds, supplements, and supporting pets on specialized diets or comfort routines. I’m actively involved with the Humane Society in Escondido, where I provide enrichment, socialization, and gentle care for animals in need. I understand that aging pets need a little extra time, patience, and tenderness — and I provide just that. Whether it’s help with stairs, gentle walks, or a calm lap to rest on, I’m here to offer steady, attentive care while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I’ll keep you updated with notes, photos, and peace of mind:) I will gladly walk your dog(s) during a drop in visit for no extra charge 💜 Caring for animals is already woven into my daily life. As a lifelong pet parent (including senior and special-needs animals), I’m used to early mornings, meal prep, medication routines, walks, cleanups, and cuddle time. My days are structured around care — whether it’s my own pets or yours — so showing up reliably and compassionately is second nature to me. I build my schedule with flexibility to give each pet the attention and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, an overnight stay, or a daily walk, I integrate pet care smoothly into my week, keeping communication open and routines consistent for peace of mind — yours and theirs 🐶🐱💛 In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s familiar routine — meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and medications — with as little disruption as possible. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and always follow your instructions carefully. I bring a calm, grounded presence and take the time to build trust, especially with older or shy pets. In my own home, I provide a quiet, cozy space and a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised and treated like family. I’m mindful of their energy levels and comfort, especially for seniors or those with medical needs, and I make sure their days are calm, enriched, and consistent. Whether I’m visiting or hosting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority — and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way 💛🐾

“David and Jeanette were great! Had my dog Piper stay with their family for 3 nights and she looked like she had a great time. Great communication and photos and easy to chat with! Thank you!”

“Scott and Lori were amazing with our frenchie Wally and communicated with us daily while we were on vacation. It was so great to see photos and videos while we were away; it really made us feel like our dog was in great hands all week. They also went above and beyond and took Wally to the beach not once, but TWICE in the same week and he loved it!! Thank you for the best boarding experience! I think our dog missed Scott and Lori after we picked him up from his "stay-cation", so that says a lot about his stay in their lovely home. We don't take many vacations but are looking forward to having him stay with Scott and Lori again next time!!!”

“While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and well cared my dogs were. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dogs were relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been in great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Ashley is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Sierra took great care of my babies. One of my pups had a cut on his paw and she treated it as asked and had him wearing his cone (even though he hated it). When we picked them up they were happy. We were nervous because our pups can have a hard time adjusting to new places but Sierra let us know they did take some time but eventually settled and got comfortable. She also sent pictures/updates which I loved 😊”

“Cecelia was very understanding of our situation as we needed to leave for out of the country for a couple of weeks. She communicated with us daily via Rover and kept us up to speed on our three big babies. Unfortunately, there was an incident with one of our dogs on the last couple of days. Cecelia continue to communicate and show professionalism, and continued taking care of the dogs until we arrived home a couple of days later. We appreciate her understanding and handling of everything. We definitely recommend Cecelia for your dog-sitting needs.”

“My husky played with other dogs, had a yard to run in, slept in crate in the house, and was spoiled! Jennifer and family are much appreciated!”

Leane L.

“Leigh is absolutely the best dog sitter around! My 15-year-old dog does not like to be away from my family, but after a very stressful year, we needed a brief getaway. Leigh watched him with great care and attention and constantly updated us on how he was doing. I highly recommend her.”

Barbara F.

“Doug and his family accepted our little one into their family while we were away! From all the puctures they sent we can tell she had a great time! We will definitely benusing them again!!”

Juliet S.

“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”

Misty E.

“Jonathan and his family took great care of my dog Winnie while I was away. Not only does he have has plenty of land for your dog to run openly on, he has super friendly dogs of his own for yours to become buddies with. If your pup needs some runaround time with other pups I highly suggest you hire Jonathan for your dogs next stay. Thanks, Jonathan!”

“We are really protective of our dog when we have to leave her to go on vacation and we couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience with Brooke and Steve for our Lab, Holly! They are the nicest people and we’re quite sure that Holly felt right at home with them while we were gone. I’m confident that they treat each dog as if they were their own! Nacho and Toby are also sweet dogs and Holly had no problem fitting in with them. Brooke and Steve are very vigilant in their care and made Holly comfortable by letting her cuddle on the couch with them and roam freely around the house. We were happy with the updates, pictures and flexibility when we changed our plans to add on a day. They are really a blessing to have around when we need a place for Holly to go. We will definitely be back if they will have us again!”

“Maddie and Moses took great care of our nearly senior, very nervous dog. They put us at ease immediately, and we’re so thankful to have found people we can trust with our baby. We appreciate their slow and thoughtful introduction to the pack, as well as their emphasis on safety, boundaries, and each dog’s accustomed lifestyle. Will definitely be booking again.”

Debbie K.

“Marta was absolutely incredible!! I was nervous to leave my baby puppy since I never had before. But as soon as I met Marta I knew he would be in good hands. Her dog is very well trained and she even helped keep up training while we were gone. He got so much love and stimulation that he was tired for two days after! We can’t wait to use Marta again!”

Megan C.

“I recently had to go on an international trip for 2 weeks and needed to find a sitter with very little advance notice. I cannot imagine a better choice than Ronald and his family. From the get acquainted visit, to the drop off, and entire two weeks Duke and Daisy spend with them, they were all very welcoming, loving and caring for my kids. The daily update pictures and occasional video showed what a great time they were having and how well taken car of they were. If you want your dog or dogs to feel as at home as they do in your house let them stay with Ronald and his crew. Duke and Daisy came home happier than ever.”

Pete M.

“We had a wonderful experience with Deepika as our pet sitter and would definitely recommend her to others. From the very first meet-and-mingle, my dog was happy, comfortable, and excited to return, which immediately put us at ease. She provided timely updates throughout, including pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. She carefully followed my dog’s daily meal instructions and showed a very friendly, caring attitude at all times. We were extremely happy with her services and would absolutely use her again in the future.”

“Gordon loves going to stay with Michelle, Steve and Daisy! Michelle is a pup expert and we feel really comfortable leaving Gordon in her care. Thank you!”

Stephanie D.

“This was the first time hiring Norma. It was a very last minute booking due to last minute issue on my end. Norma was so gracious and willing to help. She was very communicative during the entire time and my dog seems to have enjoyed her company. I will definitely be booking her again. Thank you, Norma.”
