“johnathan stopped in for a drop-in visit to meet and greet our two English cream golden retrievers, which he will be sitting for in July for six days. Johnson something seemed like a genuine soul and a dog loving person. I appreciate it Johnathan for his punctuality and his calm demeanor and his willingness to let the dogs adapt to him slowly. Our older dog took to him right away And will be the role model for our youngest one he handled it exceptionally well and I appreciate his calm demeanor and kind of words. I think the dogs will be very happy with Johnathan as their sitter for six nights. I’m not sure that we ourselves. The parents will be OK because we’ve never left them that long Actually were nervous. The desk would be sending us pictures and updates twice today and that is very appreciated. Thank you, Donna.”

“Thanks so much to Genevieve for dropping in to feed and play with Bert on my last minute request, she was able to follow my instructions perfectly and sent me lovely photos and videos of Bert letting me know he was happy, healthy, and looked after.

About: I’ve trained my puppy back at home everything she knows now. From tricks to behavior. I love animals and I’m very patient with them regardless of their behavior. I’m currently building my photography and videography portfolio so I do lots editing and that takes lot of time. However as I edit I take breaks, go on walks, and like to stay active which can work with any pet as well. I’m an animal lover especially dogs. Animals don’t get on my nerves and if they were to misbehave I wouldn’t be upset I just fix the solution. If I’m at somebody’s home I will make them feel like nothing has changed and they are just as comfortable as normal.

“Olivia has become our kitty’s go-to sitter. I’ve had to be out of town a lot recently and I feel so much better knowing that Olivia will be taking care of my fur baby. My cat really likes her and Olivia makes an effort to spend quality time with her, play with her, and let her out on the patio. Olivia is super caring, careful, clean and responsible!”

About: Hi! I have been around dogs, my whole life and have recently been caring for cats too. From dog walking/ sitting for neighbors to looking after friends’ cats while they’re away, I’ve always loved spending time with animals. As a full time student I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I value clear communication and professionalism with every pet parent I work with. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Full time student out for the summer I do these hours or we can work something out! Once in school hours may change. Weekdays 9am~9pm Weekends 9am~ 2pm In your home I treat it the same way I would treat my own, keeping everything clean, sticking to feeding and walking schedules. Updates to parents with photos and keeping good communication.

About: Hi! I’ve had years of experience dog sitting a variety of breeds and ages. From small to big! I’ve had 3 personal dogs at home and love spending time with animals and making them feel safe and loved, especially when their family is away. I typically have done drop ins, and overnight stays! I am beginning graduate school at USD this September, until then I am very available :) once my classes start I’ll be a little busier but still flexible with my schedule! My first priority is meeting all the basic needs of your dog. Making sure they have enough water, an appropriate temperature, exercise, and play! I want them to feel comfortable and safe around me so we can both have a good time. I’m also happy to take care of house sitting needs and any other special requirements for your pet.

About: Hi there! I’ve been the go-to dog whisperer in my circle since I was 10. Whether it’s a playful pup, a couch loving senior, or a zoomie-prone doodle, I’ve cared for them all. I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, medication, baths... even birthday parties (yes, with hats). I have a calm energy that puts anxious pets at ease, and I never miss a beat when it comes to routines and snuggles. If you want someone who treats your pets like family (and talks to them like they understand every word), I’m your person! I work remotely and start my day early, which means I’m home and available for most of the day to care for your pets. I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide attention, playtime, and walks throughout the day. Boarding is available on weekends, and I’m free for drop-ins or walks after 3pm on most weekdays. I treat every pet like family and prioritize their comfort and safety. I keep a clean, pet-friendly space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain their routine. Whether at my home or yours, I create a calm environment and send regular updates so you’ll always know your pet is happy and cared for.

About: Hi there! My name is Daniel, and I’m a lifelong animal lover. Whether it’s energetic pups, curious cats, or even smaller furry friends, I’m here to provide attentive, loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I understand that pets are family, and I prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own.

On my work from home days, I go to the gym in the morning and begin work around 8:30. Although I have a desk job, I am able to let pets out, feed them, or whatever else is needed. I can take a flexible long lunch for mid day walks/runs too. After work I usually read, practice online coding, or go for a run. I like to be familiarized with the surroundings of a pets environment. This allows me to assure a pet is not going anywhere they shouldn’t, or nothing gets left open such as a gate or door by a home owners gardener, pool service etc.

About: Hello, my name is Cindy! I've had my first dog when I was 10. I have two poodles in Beijing with my mom, two Maltipoo in Cali with my dad, and I now have a 1-year-old miniature schnauzer my own. I provide my dog with the best treats from Acana, Orijen, VitalEssentials and etc. I will also cook boiled veggies and chicken breast for my dog. I care the most about my dog's health. I want to do dog sitting is because I am currently on break at home and also would like my dog to meet other new friends. She is super friendly with other dogs and loves to play. Can't wait for her to meet new friends!!! I am currently on break so will be at home most time during the day. Will be able to provide potty breaks every 3-5 hours. I live in an apartment with two friendly cats and a dog, and I have cameras at home to ensure safety and peace of mind when pets are in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and privacy—I never go beyond what’s necessary for the pet’s wellbeing. Cleanliness and supervision are my top priorities, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

Brooke N.
“Having never left our 13 year old Akita with anyone but family, we were extrememly anxious when we needed to hire a petsitter for 2 weeks. From the first text with Brooke we felt at ease. In meeting her, we knew we had found the perfect person to watch Kiya. Brooke was responsible for providing 2 walks a day, feeding and giving meds (plus watering a couple of plants and setting burglar alarms!) She was accessible by text if we had questions and treated our home and Kiya as if both her own. She is everything you would want to care for your furry family member, friendly and reliable. We recommend Brooke without hesitation if you want the best care possible for you pet.”


Bianca C.
“I travel constantly for work and Bianca has been my go-to for years. She’s incredibly organized, attentive, and my dog practically does backflips when she sees her. Bianca is one of the few people I fully trust in my home. She’s professional, communicative, and truly cares about the pets she watches.”

Missy was wonderful with my cats, they adored her from the start and were so comfortable around her. She took such thorough care of them making sure their food, water, and litter were always perfect, and she also spent extra time giving them love and attention. It really felt like she cared for them as if they were her own. I had total peace of mind while I was away, and I’d recommend her to everyone!

Devin was a life saver. We scheduled two sisters before and they both canceled last minute. So we were a bit worried since we have a large dog that can be dramatic to say the least. But Devin is a dog whisperer. She had the large dog under control within seconds, and the little one followed her everywhere. She is amazing and definitely our go to dog sitter.

Mallory was the perfect friend for my dog Jasper. Always easy to coordinate and work with, she elevated my dogs life every day they were able to see each other. I’m so sad she and I both moved from San Diego at the same time, but I’m so happy Jasper had such a phenomenal person looking after him when I was away for work. Mallory is a loving force to be reckoned with and I hope so much that others get to experience her professionalism and genuine love for animals.
