About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young and currently have a 4-year-old Samoyed. I’m experienced with energetic breeds, daily exercise, and giving dogs loving attention. I’m available during the week and weekends for walks or drop-ins. Flexible scheduling means your dog gets reliable care, exercise, and attention whenever you need it. In your home, I follow your dog’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Walks, playtime, meals, and cuddles are always provided with care and attention.

About: Caring for dogs has always been second nature to me since I've grown up with them my whole life. I’ve raised multiple pups from their first tail wags to their golden years, and I currently share my life with two of my own. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s a genuine passion. Every dog I care for is treated like family, receiving the same personalized love, patience, and attention I give my own. What truly sets me apart is my intuitive approach to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s helping a nervous pup feel safe, engaging an energetic dog with play and structure, or providing extra comfort and gentle care to seniors, I adapt with heart and experience. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority — and you can rest easy knowing they’re in loving, capable hands. Right now, I have a flexible schedule since I am in medical school and can study at home, which gives me the perfect opportunity to dedicate my time to your pet. Being around pets brings me joy, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. In my home, your dog will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and well-managed environment. I live in an house with two friendly dogs — one small and one medium-sized — who love to socialize and play. I always do a slow, supervised introduction to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I also have crates and indoor fencing available to provide space or separation if needed, so your pup’s safety and comfort are always a priority. I’m also flexible and happy to care for pets in their own homes. Some dogs feel most at ease in their familiar space, and I do everything I can to keep their routine consistent — from feeding schedules to playtime and snuggles. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I treat every dog with the same level of love, attention, and respect I give my own.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in my home for all my life. I have been a doggie foster mom for about 10 years and have had the joy to foster about 34 pups throughout that time with half of them being medical fosters needing some extra love and care. I have had a wide age range from senior dogs to puppies and dealt with many different breads. I currently work part time and am a full time student. I have a big gap of time in between my days so would have some time to fit in my schedule. I have a small backyard but have a dog park in my neighborhood. I have one senior dog that is use to having some extra friends around the house. I love taking a stroll around the neighborhood and playing fetch with dogs!

I had such a great experience with Na Liyah, she took amazing care of my cat, Mochi, with twice a day drop-ins, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. I really appreciated how flexible she was with timing and how consistently she kept me updated.. with the messages and adorable videos made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Mochi can be a little particular, but he warmed up to her, which says a lot about her kindness and fun, easygoing personality. She made sure he was fed, and comfortable, and it was clear she genuinely cared. I definitely recommend Na Liyah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, friendly, and attentive pet sitter. Mochi and I will absolutely be booking with her again!

I enjoy playing, hanging out, and taking care of animals! 🐕 🐈 🐾 I fostered kittens for about 6 months during my time in Los Angeles.

I’ve grown to really love cats and I hope to have one of my own some day. 🐾 I am a UI/UX Designer and in my free time, I like watching TV/movies, playing video games, creating art, and hanging out with my friends. 🐾 If you would like to learn more about me, please feel free to reach out! I would love to have a conversation with you in order to get to know you and more about your furry friend! I’m currently transitioning out of my current job and will have more than enough time to take care and love on your pet! I like to take walks around my neighborhood daily. I do not have any of my own pets. In client’s homes, I am respectful and follow their rules and guidelines. I want to make sure my client is comfortable before anything else.

About: hi, I’m Mara! i’ve been caring for animals for over a decade in many hands-on roles — grooming salons, rescues, medical clinics, professional dog walking, horse barns, & most recently, as an adoption counselor at the San Diego Humane Society. I’ve truly seen (& loved) it all! i have a rescue dog, Indie, who’s taught me so much on behavior & emotional cues. learning to read her body language — stress signals, boundaries, etc. — completely reshaped how I approach animal care. i’m Fear Free Certified & very intentional about moving at each pet’s pace. i work full-time but have two remote days a week & flexibility for walks, drop-ins, overnights, weekends, & holidays. i’ll follow your pet’s routine closely & always send updates & photos. pet care is something I genuinely love & intentionally make space for in my routine. my full time job is office/admin work, so being able to have a fun “job” in addition allows me to still have access to my passion— animals! safety & trust always come first. i follow each pet’s routine exactly as outlined — from feeding & medication schedules to walk routes & house rules. i take time to get to know every pet’s personality & comfort level so they feel secure and understood in my care.

About: Hi! I’m Xiaoyu, a UCSD student with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I grew up around dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. I live in a clean, spacious two-bedroom apartment at Vive Luxe, with great walking areas and a nearby dog park. Dogs stay in a comfortable home environment — no cages — and are treated like part of the family. I have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of time at home, so your dog will receive lots of attention, supervision, and companionship. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, and any special care instructions. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to spend plenty of time at home caring for pets. I’m able to provide regular attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day to make sure dogs feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for during their stay. I provide a calm, clean, and safe indoor environment where pets are always supervised. My community is very dog-friendly, with plenty of safe areas for walks and fresh air. Inside the home, dogs have comfortable spaces to rest and relax, and I carefully follow all pet parents’ instructions to ensure their safety and comfort at all times.
