Averie took such good care of Pappy! Kept us posted with pictures and made it easier to know that he was getting lots of play time and pets. I’m sure he was a hand full but she handled everything excellently. Probably the first of many visits hopefully!

Spencer was great with our two cats while we were away on a long trip. He was punctual and communicative throughout the booking. We received great pictures of our cats every day and it was clear they were very happy and comfortable with him.

Second time's the charm. I really appreciate Brenda's willingness to come out and sit our cats once again. She's very responsible, always sends photos after each appointment, and made sure to inform us any time she changed the water or had to make another purchase fir the cats midway through the period. Will definitely consider her again next time I'm out if town.

Lucy has been dropping in to care for my sweet little Roux half way through the day since I work outside of my home all day. She’s been such a relief to me as I know she cares and loves little Roux so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I will continue to source Lucy to care for my pup!

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember—since I was a child, they’ve always been a big part of my life. Whether it was playing with neighborhood pups, helping care for family pets, or learning about different breeds, my connection with dogs has only grown stronger over the years. That lifelong passion has naturally led me to offer dog sitting and pet walking services, where I treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, and attention. You can count on me to give your furry friend the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away or at work! Need a last-minute dog walk? I offer same-day dog walking services to give you peace of mind when your schedule gets hectic. Whether something unexpected comes up or you just need a helping hand, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and fresh air they need—right when they need it. Just reach out, and I’ll do my best to fit your furry friend in that very day! Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities during every walk. I use secure, well-fitted leashes and harnesses, stick to familiar or owner-approved routes, and always keep a close eye on your pup’s behavior and surroundings. Whether your dog loves a slow stroll, a playful trot, or sniffing every tree along the way, I tailor each walk to their needs and personality. You can rest easy knowing your furry friend is in caring, attentive hands, enjoying both exercise and a safe adventure every time we head out.

Caity is a wonderful cat sitter. Kind, patient communicative, and thorough, she took incredible care of our beloved cat, Kuma, over 2 days. She took the time to get to know Kuma and make him comfortable with her presence. She quickly read his moods and needs, and made Kuma's first extended stint alone as easy as possible for both him and us - going well above and beyond what we had hoped. She sent us multiple fantastic photos and a report on how he was doing each visit - very comforting for two first-time cat owners. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat and are so happy to have found Caity!

Kaden was absolutely wonderful with my crazy 7 month old kitten! Sequoia was so happy to have somebody stop by to give her a little bit of playtime and enrichment while I had an extra long day at work. Kaden made sure to cover all of the bases of care and included lots of pictures of my girl in the Rover card. He is very trustworthy, thorough, and hands down the best sitter for cats. I highly recommend Kaden and will 100% be booking again soon for the holidays. 😊

About: Caring for pets has always been a joy for me. I have years of experience helping family and friends with their dogs and cats, I’m trusted to walk, feed, and give lots of love. I take pride in providing the best care possible. I work remotely, so I’m home and flexible to care for your pets most of the time. Potty breaks and extra attention are never a problem! In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and loved with plenty of playtime, and a clean environment. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, from feeding schedules to potty breaks and walks, so pets feel secure and cared for just like they would with their owner. I always try to give them the same love and attention I give my own.

Call was awesome when I needed a Drop-In for my pup on a relatively short notice. She was attentive to his peculiarities, particularly his colder-shoulder to anyone new in the house - which she handled with ease. Trustworthy, kind and reliable, Call is the exact person you’re looking for to take care of your pets. 10/10 will book again. Thanks Call!

About: I currently work part time as a caregiver, host Cacao Ceremonies, and I pet sit. I recently lost the last of my three dogs and have a very motherly heart full of love and am hoping for new pet friends to offer it to. Previously I worked at the San Diego Humane Society as an adoption counselor, where I matched the animals to their ideal humans. Prior to that I worked at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in the Big Game department where I worked hands on with wild animals like deer and elk! I have been pet sitting for people since I was sixteen, and have previously had three dogs of my own, so I am very comfortable around them. I also used to volunteer for the Sacramento Zoo as a keeper's aid so I am used to cleaning up messes and will have no problem around larger animals. I also worked at U.C. Davis' sheep barn where I fed the animals, cleaned their quarters, administered shots and ultrasounds, and assisted in births. I have the utmost respect for all animals but have a very special place in my heart for dogs and cats. My goal is to provide animals with ample comfort and mental and physical stimulation while their families are away. Pets are little angel babies and deserve all the love in the world. I'd love to care for your baby/babies so hit me up with any questions! I work part time and my shifts are not longer than four hours usually. Some of my work I do from home so I will have ample time to spend with your pet(s). I live in a one bedroom in a condo that has a little fenced in area where they can go to the bathroom and also live in a very walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood.

About: I am a responsible and dependable pet care provider. When I was young, I had and loved two labradors, Molly and Mindy, a mom and daughter duo who forever live in my heart. I now have a beautiful long haired cat, named “T”, who we adopted and she has FIV and is living happily and healthily. In previous years, I worked at a veterinary office and became very comfortable with all animals. I am comfortable administering medications if needed. I just recently finished a masters program in Food Science and we have moved back to our home of San Diego. I am free to take care of animals all throughout the day and have a dependable vehicle . I am respectful of clients homes and like to leave places in better condition than I found them in. I will care for your pets needs and you instruct and will go above and beyond for your baby.

Christian was incredible with our cat Oliver! It was his first time staying alone over night and Christian made sure to play with him, get him his food the way he likes it and lots of cuddles during his visit. Christian made sure to check in every time and was very respectful and reliable!
