About: Hello, San Diego! After 7 years of dedicated pet sitting in Los Angeles and a short break to complete graduate school, I’m officially back to doing what I love. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all life stages and needs—from lively 1.5-year-old dogs to sweet 17-year-old seniors, as well as pets managing health conditions like diabetes and blindness. I'm no stranger to a full house either; my personal record is 4 dogs and 5 cats all cozying up in the same bed! I genuinely cherish every moment spent with animals and treat every single pet with the utmost care and dedication. I am a full-time High School Dance Teacher within SDUSD. Pet care would occur around my teaching schedule (primarily weekdays between 7:30am-3:30pm). However once I am in pet-sitting mode, my full attention is on the fur babies! I care for every pet with genuine love and enthusiasm. My top priority is keeping both your pet and myself safe and secure. Whether it’s high-energy playtime or a gentle stroll, I easily adapt to your pet's needs. I stay organized by using personalized checklists to follow their routine to a T, and I always keep open, proactive communication with owners for any questions or updates.
“Gina was great! She communicated super well and took good care of our house while we were gone. Most importantly she took great care of our puppy and we returned to her in very good spirits!”

“Sage was WONDERFUL! My little fur baby can be quite the handful (she’s very hyperactive), and Sage was so great with her! She constantly sent me pictures and assurances that my dog was doing great while I was away. She definitely helped ease the worry I had from being away from my baby!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Donovan and Hollyanne who took care of my dog over Thanksgiving! From the moment they arrived to take care of him, it was clear he was in loving and capable hands. They showered him with attention, took him on countless adventures, and made sure he felt right at home. Being my first time leaving him with new people, they made sure to provide me with so many pictures and updates on the fun they were having together! It was so reassuring to know that he was not just being “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I came back to a very happy, healthy puppy full of stories and pictures about his new favorite people and his adventures. If you’re looking for someone to treat your dog like family, Donovan and Hollyanne are absolutely the best! I highly recommend them!”

“Evelyn is very conscientious and does a wonderful job! She took care of my dog and cat for 10 days, which included medicating them both twice daily. She sent me pictures and updates every day. She left my home clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend her!”

“This is the best dog sitting experience I have had in awhile! Allison is very detail oriented and i felt comfortable with her right from the meet and greet. I have two cattledog mixes, and she made sure that their energy needs were met but also they got their snuggle time too! She gave plenty of updates and we came back to a clean and organized home. I had no worries and was able to enjoy my time away. I cannot recommend her enough and i look forward to the next time we need to book her again in the future.”

“Kim was perfect watching our two boys while we were away on vacation. She followed all instructions, gave us great updates/pics, and best of all the boys loved her! She left my apartment exactly as it was before her stay, and was extra sensitive to me as it was my first time with a dog sitter. Highly recommend her and will book her again in the future :) thank you so much Kim!”


About: I have take care of cats and dogs of different ages and different temperaments since I was 16. I enjoy walking and spending time with them. I am currently working part-time and looking to spend my spare time looking after your pets. I am available in the mornings and on weekends. I can care for your pets in your home. I am also available to walk your dogs as well. I can care for both big dogs and small dogs as well as cats.
About: I’ve taken care of my dog, Kono, for 15 years and developed a bond that means the world to me! I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior companions. Growing up, I cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small critters, and I’ve continued to provide loving care as a pet sitter for friends and family. I’m well-versed in daily routines, administering medications, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. What makes me stand out is my commitment to treating each pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand their unique needs, preferences, and quirks to provide personalized care. My background in customer service has instilled in me patience and attention to detail—qualities I carry over into pet care. Whether it’s playing fetch with high-energy dogs, keeping senior pets comfortable, or following specific training guidelines, I go the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy and healthy. I’m also reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is in good hands. It would be an honor to take care of your furry family member while you’re away—they’ll be loved, safe, and entertained! I incorporate pet care seamlessly into my day by planning my activities around their feeding, exercise, and any special care routines they may need. Whether it’s an energetic morning walk or a calming evening on the couch, caring for pets brings joy and balance to my week. Being part of their lives is not just a responsibility—it's something I truly love doing. I believe it is important to treat every pet, family, and home with respect and compassion. I value honesty and dependability, which I demonstrate with strong communication.
“Dwayne took good care of my 50 pound pittie. He was not phased by his various quirks and kept in touch with me while I was away. When he wasn't sure about the meaning of a minor behavior change, he checked in with me to make sure it was nothing to be concerned about. When I returned, my home was at least as clean and tidy as it was when I left. I will happily hire Dwayne again.”

“Krystal was great while we were away for a weekend! Great communication and updates. Very responsible and followed care instructions fabulously. Came home to a clean house and a very happy dog! 10/10!”

“Elizabeth was great! She is communicative, responsible, and left the house in perfect condition. Our Lola was very happy and healthy upon our return. I highly recommend Elizabeth.”

“A wonderful and kind girl. Trustworthy above & beyond cat person. She stayed in touch multiple times a day and made the time pass for Bowie as if I had never left. My car has never been so at peace in my absence & I am so happy I found my new Catsitter.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals for over 14 years. Friends, neighbors, family, friends of friends, I’ve spent 20+ weekends a year house/pet sitting, and have averaged 3 dog walks a week for the last 3 years. I also have my Dog, Cat, and Pet First Aid Certificate as well as my Pet CPR Training Certificate from American Red Cross. Right now, I’m taking online courses for my profession. In between classes I would like to take breaks by taking care of animals. It’s both a stress reliever and something I love to do. I keep an eye out for any safety concerns or measures that need to take place to ensure the safety of your animals. Safety is key!
About: I've been around animals for many years and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. I'm happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if instructed, go on walks, play with energetic pets, or simply provide companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have very flexible schedule as well so if I’m needed, I can always stop by in addition to the already scheduled times. I try to be around as much as I can. For walks, I usually walk them earlier in the morning before it gets too hot for them.

Obviously absolutely spoil my cats giving them constant attention & love. Now they require it & I’m proud of that.
“Catalina was a pleasure. It was my dog’s first time being watched in this capacity and she navigated with grace and patience. It was easy for me to breathe on my trip knowing my baby girl, Nike, was well kept. 10/10 Recommendation”

Hannah was phenomenal with my 14-year-old senior black labrador retriever, Penny. She stopped by the house ahead of time for a meet and greet and I could tell immediately she would be a good fit for Penny and the house. I felt totally comfortable with Hannah staying at my house and watching after Penny while I was out of town, and Penny had a total blast. I received regular videos and photos from Hannah throughout her stay, which of course is super comforting knowing Penny was well cared for even though I was halfway across the country. Hannah stayed for a total of three nights and was incredibly communicative and accomodating. Would definitely recommend her to anyone with a senior dog (or any other kind of dog)!

Cannot recommend Linette enough! She was so communicative and good with my boys. She left my house in great shape, made sure the dogs had plenty of physical and mental stimulation. She asked all the right questions and made me feel so good about leaving my dogs with her.
I could not be happier with our experience and will def be booking with Jaylynne again! She stayed the weekend with our husky (that has special/medical needs) and cat and they were happy and relaxed when we returned. She sends pictures and is a great communicator. The peace of mind her service brings is a game-changer. Thank you Jaylynne!

Vannessa and Jason were amazing! We booked with them pretty last minute, and they were so accommodating and came over for a meet and greet beforehand, which made us feel really comfortable leaving our dogs with them. While we were gone, they were super communicative and sent us tons of photos, videos, and updates throughout the week. It was obvious they really took the time to bond with our dogs and make sure they were happy and comfortable. We came home to two happy dogs and an incredibly clean house, which was such a nice surprise after traveling. We would absolutely book with Vannessa and Jason again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for people they can trust with their pets and home!

Liz is one of the few people I trust to watch Bane besides my friends. I’m extremely grateful. It’s hard to leave him but Liz has helped give me a lot of relief knowing he’s in trusted hands. In addition to watching Bane, Liz house sits and leaves everything clean. I never have to worry once I know she’s with him. I always come home to Bane happy, fed, and clean. I would highly recommend Liz to anyone and have only kind things to say as does Bane :)

Chandler impressed us from the start. She was confident, capable, and it was immediately clear she knew exactly what she was doing, especially when it came to handling our 92-lb American Bulldog/Mastiff mix, Olive. Out of all the sitters we’ve had through Rover over the years, Chandler was one of the few people I immediately felt I could completely trust with both our dog and our home. At our meet and greet, she got down on both knees to pet and snuggle Olive, and you could tell right away that she’s a true animal lover. She was completely comfortable with Olive’s size, knew exactly how to put on her prong collar without any help, and paid close attention as I walked her through my admittedly very long Google Doc of instructions! Chandler and her boyfriend, Nitai, took such great care of Olive while we were away. Olive managed to mess up a couple things around the house while they were watching her - because she is a 92-lb doofus - and they actually fixed them for us. We also came home to an incredibly clean house, which was such a wonderful surprise after traveling. It is such a breath of fresh air to find someone you feel completely comfortable trusting with your dog and your home. We’re so grateful to Chandler and Nitai and would absolutely recommend them to anyone, especially those with larger dogs!

Martilia stayed with my dog Bailey over the weekend and did an incredible job. She stayed with Bailey a lot of the time inside, hung out with her, let her out to use the bathroom regularly, kept to her feeding schedule and gave her medicine. She appeared to actually enjoy hanging out with Bailey and sent me pictures of her hanging out with her in the living room and let her hang out with her in her bedroom . I really appreciated the extra care given to my senior dog who likes the attention and care! I would definitely utilize her again and recommend her to others. She also left the spare room in excellent condition and even did the sheets and made the bed before she left, which was totally unnecessary but very helpful and kind.

Zoria-erianna is our regular dog sitter and she always goes above and beyond! We went out of the county and before we left our senior dog was doing okay. A few days before we returned his health declined. During the entire trip Zoria-erianna kept us updated and sent pictures and videos. She regularly updated us on his condition and did her best to take care of him. Unfortunately he ended up dying the day before we came home. She called us when she found him and she took care of him and did everything for us by taking him to the vet and collecting his collar and blanket for us. The night before he died she sat with him and petted and consoled him. I can’t rave enough about how well she cares for our dogs! We have two other dogs and she continued to care for them and did an excellent job cleaning up after them and even did laundry and washed our senior dogs bedding. I highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!
