“Andre was great! Booked him on short notice, felt so comfortable leaving my boys with him. Our Adonis is recovering from surgery and he accommodated to his needs. Will definitely use his service again!”
“She is very caring and has been amazing, sending a lot of photos, making sure my Chico is properly trained and behaving well with the other dogs. Couldn't ask for a better dogsitter. Best one yet.”
About: Have had family dogs all my life and my little guy for almost 5 years. I know the amount of work and dedication it takes to give them a happy and full life. I have also pet sit for friends both dogs and cats over the years. My friends know I’m someone they can depend on. I work from home primarily east coast hours so can be flexible in the afternoons/evenings. If your home is close can also work around meetings earlier in the day! I want to make sure your pet has a relaxed and comfortable time with me. I personally get pretty anxious when someone is checking in or taking care of my pet so I will do my best to ease that feeling for others.
“Mihaela is a very nice person and super awesome with Rollie. She provided Rollie with lots of playtime, games, walks, and belly rubs. I got many updates and I could tell Rollie enjoyed her stay with Mihaela and didn’t want to leave! Will definitely be a repeated client.”

“Layla was amazing!! I usually leave my dogs with friends or family because one of them is really anxious, but she handled both of them so well. She took them on walks and sent me 3–4 updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be coming back to her if I ever need help with my dogs again. Great communication and super flexible!”
“Dusty had an AMAZING time with Stefani! During his drop of it was clear that he was right at ease with her immediately and shortly after I left he was already snuggled up for a morning nap! I’m incredibly appreciative that they went for a fun filled romp at the dog beach, so he got to run and exercise and play. Stefani sent photos and updates which helped ease my mind that my pup was in great hands and not missing me a bit! Stefani was flexible and helpful and I’m quite sure Dusty wanted to stay even longer than his one day visit! We’d love to return again 🥰”
“Kylie is very responsive and communicates well, which I appreciate. My dog enjoys his days playing with their 2 dogs and others they care for. I’ll definitely continue using their services.”
“We had roof work done on our house and it stressed our dog horribly. We are grateful that we easily found William to take our doggy for the day. William played with our dog, took him for walks and our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we picked him up. I would definitely call William again for help with my dog.”
“My dog loved her stay with Anar and was excited to return! Anar was flexible with pick-up and drop-off and sent me updates throughout the day on how Willow was doing!”
“Nice guys who have a great house for dog sitting. You can tell they take their job as sitters seriously. They send pictures every time and communicate quickly. Will definitely book them again.”
About: As the son of a competitive sled dog racer in the northeast, I spent my entire childhood with dogs - at work, at play, and at rest. As an adult, I have cared for pets of my own as well as for pets of family and friends throughout the LA area, building strong bonds and providing reliable, attentive care. I recently moved to San Diego and am excited to build a loving community of furry friends. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes... but huskies will always have my heart. I work from home as a writer, which means I’m around throughout the day to give dogs plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. My wife is a nurse and is available in the evenings and on weekends and variable weekdays, providing extra support, love and attention. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to your dog’s needs. We have a fully fenced-in front yard as well as a separate fenced turf area in the back, giving dogs safe outdoor space to play, explore, and relax throughout the day. Whether your dog is high-energy, shy, or a senior who prefers lounging in the sun, they’ll be treated like family here. Safety - Secure, fenced property - our home features a fully fenced front grass yard and a separate fenced turf area in the back, allowing dogs to enjoy outdoor time safely and supervised - Constant supervision - since I work from home, dogs are rarely left alone - Controlled environment - I limit the number of dogs I care for at once to ensure personalized attention and a calm, low-stress setting - Routine and consistency - I follow your dog’s established feeding and walking schedules. - Clean and comfortable home - dogs are treated like family with access to clean indoor space and safe outdoor area.
“Ali and her partner Jake were wonderful puppy sitters. We just got our pup about a week ago and needed a sitter in a pinch. We called Ali just a few days before we needed her and she was responsive to our request and so helpful. Communication leading up to the day was excellent and it was comforting to know that both Ali and Jake were so excited to spend time with our pup. Ali sat our pup Ozzie for 3 days and each day he came home worn out from a fun day of activity and hands-on time. Ali only takes one pup at a time, so it’s nice to know that the focus is on your dog. He was well-fed and watered and came home a happy guy. I will definitely be calling Ali and Jake if I need sitters for Ozzie in the future.”
“Sam is AMAZING! I had never left my dogs with anyone other than family, but when I moved to San Diego I needed to find a dog sitter that was trustworthy and reliable. Sam fits this bill! Max and Mia had a great time at his house and came home tired and happy. He sent updates throughout the day and was reliable and confirmed their stay before they came over! He also scheduled a meet and greet before their first stay so I could see where they would be and I could meet him before dropping them off. This meant so much to me because it made me feel more comfortable leaving my "kids" in his hands! I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for dog watching needs! Max and Mia will be under his care for many years to come! ”

Stefani was great and so sweet! I’ve never had to have my dog stay with a sitter before so I was nervous. She sent me pictures all day and updated me all day with how he was doing. She kept him busy the whole time he was there and I could tell that my dog loved her and had a great time. She was attentive to his weird quirks and made sure he was safe and comfy. I would absolutely leave my dog with her again to watch him!
comfortable and confident leaving my dogs with Ali and her hubby for the day. she kept me updated the whole time, which i loved… it was honestly so cute getting little check-ins and knowing what they were up to. they got plenty of exercise and attention too, even being in a condo, which i know can sometimes be a concern especially with bigger dogs. mine came home happy, tired, and clearly so well taken care of. she was amazing and i’m genuinely so grateful. would 100% trust her with them again 🤍
Melissa was great with my Mama’s Boy and Mama’s Girl sensitive soul fur babies. She gave them lots of love and care and sent me several pictures throughout the day to keep me connected and updated. Booking Melissa again for a week-long pet sitting and I just know the “kids” will do great! N
I had a last minute request and Jason accommodated quickly. Molly gets so excited as we approach Jason’s home. I am so grateful I can leave her there and know she’s going to have a great time and get plenty of exercise and I never worry about her for a minute.
Mark has been wonderful to work with. Our dog, Mello, has some anxiety around new environments, so we arranged a test daycare day before the official boarding dates. Mark has been incredibly patient and thoughtful in helping Mello get comfortable. We really appreciate how willing he is to work with us and plan a few more test daycare and boarding days ahead of the actual stay. It’s clear he truly cares about making sure the dogs in his care feel safe and supported. Based on this experience, we’re very confident Mello will have a great time during his upcoming stays.
Colleen was amazing! Her communication was excellent and she was very quick and timely about setting up a meet and greet with my dog and her dog to make sure they got along. She asked really thoughtful questions so she fully understood how to care for my girl, which made me feel so confident leaving her. She sent tons of photos and updates throughout the day while my dog was at daycare, which I really appreciated. My dog is naturally nervous and shy, but she settled in within a few hours and ended up having the best time playing with Colleen’s dog, Winston. My dog is definitely a pack girl and loves being part of a group, so it was such a great fit. I would absolutely recommend Colleen and will 100% book with her again!
