Pet Sitting Kearny Mesa

About: I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, because they are not “just a pet.” They are family. Whether you need dependable everyday care or someone to step in for a last-minute dinner date, I’m your gal, Val! I have spent much of my life caring for and working with dogs. My mother is a dog groomer by trade, so I grew up in a shop, knew our local shelter techs and vets, and even got to shadow veterinary surgical procedures as early as middle school. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, using specialized collars and harnesses, reinforcing established training routines, and caring for dogs with very different needs and personalities. I am patient with teething puppies, cautious rescues, high-energy pups who would rather walk me, and sweet senior “old geezers” who need a gentler pace or extra support for conditions like hip dysplasia. I understand that puppies need consistency, supervision, and positive reinforcement, while senior dogs may need medication schedules, mobility accommodations, and a little more patience. I also genuinely love big dogs, including the ones who think they are lap-sized (adorable, but factually incorrect). Most importantly, I treat every dog as an individual. Whether your pup needs an adventure buddy, a calm and reassuring presence, or someone who can confidently manage a detailed routine, I will make sure they feel safe, understood, and thoroughly loved. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love having a furry coworker nearby. I can easily accommodate regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of affection. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I provide lots of playtime, affection, enrichment, and outdoor breaks based on their energy level and personality. I am also happy to send regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is having a great time.

“Lynn is a wonderful drop in sitter for our puppy. She is reliable and always on time for visits. Lime enjoys her play time with Lynn - we don’t know what we would do without her!”

“Sara was wonderful with our 3 cats! She communicated everyday with photos and updates and we came home to both happy cats and full water bowls. She is professional in every way and you can tell she truly loves animals. We would highly recommend her and hope to book with her in the future.”

“Tina has been looking after my cat Romulus for a few months now. She is professional, reliable, thorough, compassionate, and has provided excellent counsel on how to handle some of his recent acting out behaviors. Tina is so supportive and genuinely LOVES her work which really shows every time she babysits my fur baby! I have never doubted her character and believe her to be trustworthy and 100% ethical in her work. After each time away, I return to my apartment with a satisfied pet who has been looked at for with with tender, loving care. During a shaky mental crisis regarding my pet, she went above and beyond in giving ME emotional support in a nonjudgmental, genuine manner. I value her character and commitment to her work- anyone utilizing her services is lucky to have someone as dedicated and skillful as she is. Thank you so much Tina! Warmly, Alex & Romulus”

“Carmen was fantastic from first communication. I had to book her last minute when other plans fell through and she was quickly responsive and reassuring. She asked questions that I didn’t think of, showing me she cares and is thoughtful, responsible and takes the job seriously with heart. She sent great pictures that showed my cat trusting and loving her, which put me totally at ease while I was across the country for a week and a half. I trusted her immediately and would recommend her to anyone. Cats know cat people and when you want someone to just love your cat when you’re gone, she’s your girl!”

“Hana is so helpful with our baby! She is flexible and kind and always communicates well with us. Our little Juni is always sad to see her go!”

Sara S.

“Luana was absolutely incredible, and gave me lots of pictures of my kitty during the drop-in visits. This was my first time using Rover to do drop-ins for my cat, and it was such a wonderful experience and gave me the piece of mind that she was being well looked after. I would happily have Luana look after my cat again! ?”

Benjamin R.

“Brenda is an amazing pet sitter. She is always on time and really cares about pets in her care. She communicates very well and helped with administering medications to my cat. I would highly recommend her and my cat, who was very fond of her, would recommend her as well.”

Steven H.

“Nancy was so kind to fit us in last minute. She was so friendly and sent me cute pics and updates of my dog. Maxi loved her and I would book her again any time!”

Brenda A.

“Jaylynne did an awesome job watching our cats! She was even able to make friends with our super shy kitty which was really impressive. Our other cat required daily meds and Jaylynne was on top of getting the meds to her. She followed all our instructions perfectly and always arrived at the scheduled times. She provided great photo updates and detailed summaries which we really enjoyed. We felt comfortable with her in our home watching our kitties and will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

Samantha K.

“As always, Alyssa takes absolutely wonderful care of our kitties when my husband & I are out of town. She is kind, attentive, & caring. Thank you for being the best, Alyssa!”

Remy H.

“Crystal was punctual, warm, and provided great communication and care for our two cat children. She is also apparently magical, as she was able to give some love to our resident shy guy who hides from everyone. Will call on her again soon!”

About: I have been a dog owner and have been caring for dogs, walks and sleep overs for close to 10 years now… I enjoy their companionship. I’m a single man with no children, I have plenty of time on my hands… my work hours are different every week, chances are I’m available more times than needed. Unfortunately, I cannot care for pets in my home. If I was two dog sit in a client’s home, I would simply follow their instructions.

“Katrina did a great job taking care of our cat. She came by the day before we went out of town to meet our kitty and familiarize herself with our needs.”

Tonia H.

“Daniel took great care of our 75 lbs pit bull, Rosie! He is very comfortable with large breed dogs and Rosie loved him. We booked 3 days in a row and will book again!”

“Thank you so much, Kim for dropping in and checking on our little Penny. She looked like she had a great time going outside with you! We really appreciate the way you cared for while we were away.”

Sydney S.

“Whitney has cared for my two kitties - one of whom needs daily oral medication - numerous times now. I feel so relieved, knowing my babies are in safe and capable hands with her. I had to travel recently for a family memorial service, an already stressful event, and Whitney was able to care for my kitties on fairly short notice, so I was able to be with my family. Whitney definitely has the attentive "mom" energy I want when it comes to my fur-babies. I highly recommend her.”

“This was my 3rd or 4th time with Stella and she continues to be amazing :) She sends the cutest pictures and videos and always keeps me in the loop with my kitties.”
