“Yue did an amazing job. I had never left my cat before and was super nervous. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures/ videos for updates. You could tell that she really cared for our cat and wanted to make sure he was comfortable and so were we!”
“Angela was fantastic! Easy to work with and very responsive. She took excellent care of our cat, and sent lots of pictures and videos to let us know he was happy and healthy while we were away.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! I grew up with a Shih Tzu named Barkley, who I loved and cared for over 10 years. Over the past five years, I’ve cared for a variety of dogs, including a Sheepadoodle, Dachshund, Pit Bull, French Bulldog, Great Dane, and a Mini Bernedoodle. I’ve helpied friends and family with caring for their dogs over the past 5 years. They have always been a big part of my life, and I’m super excited to meet yours! 😊 After 5 years working as an agency recruiter, I’ve decided to take a break and focus on something I truly love — caring for dogs! I’ve always had a passion for animals, and now I’m turning that into something meaningful. I'm available Mondays from 11:00am to 6:00pm, Tuesday through Thursday from 8:00am to 6:00pm, and on Fridays I’m available 8:00am to 12:00pm. I care for pets as if they were my own! In a client’s home, I make sure to follow any instructions closely — including feeding schedules, walk routines, crate time, their favorite toys. I keep things clean and consistent so your pet feels safe and relaxed in their own space.
About: I’ve had dogs and other animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience training puppies and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Additionally, I have spent summers volunteering at the Humane Society. Besides dogs, I’ve cared for horses, guinea pigs, birds, and even reptiles! My main priority is making animals feel like family, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I am very flexible and can help out most evenings and throughout the day to ensure the animals have proper care. Availability may slightly vary from week to week. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I respect your space and routines just as much as your pet’s. I keep things clean, secure, and quiet, making sure your pet is stress-free in their familiar environment. I stick to your instructions closely—whether that means medication, crate time, walks, or couch cuddles. I’m neat, trustworthy, and always keep you in the loop with messages and updates.
“Lisa went above and beyond while taking care of my cat! My cat had a few accidents when I was away and Lisa took it upon herself to clean each up. Thank you so much! Your pet will be in great hands if you book with Lisa!”
About: I have been watching friends and families animals since I started highschool. Now after college I am back home for little and looking to help you out whenever your furry friend needs some extra pets or a walk! I am currently working just a couple various days a week as a nanny and am looking to do more with rover! Im happy to help out with what you need. I vow to keep the doors closed behind me, keep your dog on leash, and take whatever specific protocol that your pup needs. Anywhere from walking on the opposite side of the street of other dogs, or making sure to take 2 poop bags!
About: I had my first pet when I was 4 years old. It was an earthworm I found under a big rock while I was making mud pies. I named my new pet "Rocky" for obvious reasons. When I was done playing with him, I placed him back on the ground and put the big rock right on top of him. The next day I returned to play with Rocky only to find he was smashed. I was heartbroken. Fortunately for you and your pet(s), my pet caretaking skills have vastly improved over the last 30 years. I've had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I'm that girl you pass on the sidewalk when you're out walking our pup who smiles and says, "Hi Puppers!" I currently have my own rescue kitty named Pearl. I have so much to give and so desperately want a dog of my own, but Pearl loves getting all my love and attention to herself. I'd love to be able to play and interact with your doggo(s) to scratch that itch! I have experience administering meds to both cats and dogs. I love to play, teach, and do enrichment activities. I have an extremely calm presence and I'm super patient. I allow animals the time and space they need to get comfortable with me. If I'm at a gathering and there's a dog, that's who I'll be spending all my time with. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer and elaborate! I work full time in the healthcare field. I have 3 day weekends (Sat-Mon). I'm happy to do pop in visits or house sit for an extended weekend. All my services are conducted right in your pets' home. I'm happy to pop in as needed, check in on them for litterbox cleaning, feeding, watering, play, walks, etc. I'm also available for pet and house sitting services Saturday-Monday. I want to keep your pets' routine as close to normal as possible so they're not stressed or lonely while you're away.
About: Hi there! My name is Amy, and I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet services grounded in high quality work, reliability, attentiveness, and honesty. I have been the go-to animal sitter / walker for friends, neighbors, and mutual connections who are traveling or in need of last-minute accommodations for the past 8 years. I treat all pets as if they’re my own and will make sure they receive all the love and attention they deserve. I accept requests for dogs and cats. WALKING: I have experience caring for 25+ dogs, ranging from puppies, timid to high-energy personalities, working breeds, to aging dogs experiencing medical concerns. For breeds that require higher amounts of stimulation, I can incorporate obedience training and interval running into the visit. DOGSITTING: I have experience as a dog and house sitter to over 10+ clients, providing attentive care and companionship to pets while ensuring their safety and well-being. I am reliable, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual needs, whether it involves feeding, walking, administering medication, or maintaining the household. My commitment to creating a stress-free environment for both pets and homeowners has consistently resulted in positive references and trusted relationships. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! Photo updates will be provided (unless requested otherwise). If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! As a self-employed adaptive fitness coach, I offer a flexible schedule to accommodate busy or changing itineraries, understanding that plans can shift and always striving to adapt to meet your needs. As safety is my top priority, I like to request a meetup to ensure we are a good fit for one another before finalizing a boarding or walking request. At client’s homes, I am respectful of their space and will not bring any guests. I leave all equipment in the same place I find them and will notify owners if I see something out of the ordinary (dog vomit, chewed furniture, etc). If a package is left outside, I will bring it inside.
About: Hi!! I'm Maddie, and I would absolutely love to care for your animals! Since leaving my family pets at home to attend college here in San Diego, I've missed the joy of looking after dogs and cats. My friends and family have always said I should become a veterinarian because of my deep love for animals. I've grown up around big dogs my whole life, with my family having pitbulls, akitas, and boxers. Because of this, I'm especially experienced with larger dogs, but I've also spent plenty of time with smaller breeds like cavaliers, chihuahuas, and mini poodles, thanks to my friends' families. I genuinely love every breed! I've been dog sitting in my neighborhood back home for years and I'd love to continue doing what I enjoy here in La Jolla! With experience in caring for both short-haired and long-haired dogs, I'm well-versed in bathing and grooming based on their specific coat needs. I can't wait to meet and care for your furry friends! I’m currently working half remote half in person, so my schedule is pretty open. Monday through Wednesday I am available to dog sit throughout the day, and dog walks/drop ins I can come after 4:15 pm. Thursday and Fridays I will not be home to dog sit unfortunately, but I can do dog walks or drop ins after 4:15 pm. The weekends I am available whenever for dog sits, dog walks, or drop ins:). Because I have had both super dependent and super independent dogs, I know how to read a situation easily. Whether they need cuddles and attention or a treat to relax to, I am willing to do whatever to make your dog happy and comfortable. I would want the same for my dog!
“Hannah went above and beyond with my boy while I was away, she was interactive with toys and cat TV and also cuddly with him as that’s what he loves and craves most. She sent so many photos & videos which I LOVE. Henry loves her & ill definitely be rebooking her”
About: Hi there! I have 5+ years of experience taking care of pets (including my own!) and would love to help you and your family with your fur baby. I'm extremely loving with animals as if they were my own, and am a very patient caretaker. I have my own kitty who just turned 4, and have also helped take care of family dogs, one puppy and one senior dog with health conditions. My friends and family always trust me to watch their pets because they know how careful, diligent, and affection I am with their animals! I work fully remote for a healthcare research company so my schedule is very flexible. Aside from a few meetings a day, I can easily swing by to meet your pet's schedule! I'll make sure I leave everything where I found it and follow all care instructions. I keep an open line of communication and take lots of pictures and videos! I'm happy to adjust my care depending on your and your pet's needs.

“Miranda has taken excellent care of my Dachshund, Polly, on many occasions. I know when Polly is with Miranda, I don't have to worry about a thing and I know Polly is having a great time playing in Miranda's backyard, going for walks, and cuddling on the couch. Miranda goes above and beyond when she cares for dogs, like the time when she gave Polly a bath when she got dirty so I had a clean dog to pick up after my vacation. Miranda is communicative, trustworthy, follows all care instructions, and is a wonderful, dog-loving person. I highly recommend Miranda as a dog sitter!”

I know it is always stressful to leave your fur babies at home but I find myself relaxed when she is available to watch them!”

“I’ve known Hailee for over 3 years. She is one of the most trustworthy person I have ever met. She is a person of the utmost integrity and morals. She loves animals more than anyone I know!

Also, as a pet parent I was so happy to get constant pictures, which is always the best when missing your babies!! She is a kind, gentle, and caring person with unparalleled patience!! Thank you again, Amy, for caring for my best friend and baby!! I have no doubt she will do the same for yours as well!!”

She is really great with dogs and she loves to take them along with her on walks and hikes. She is timely, organized, clearly, and energetic. She is also a great communicator so she would be a great choice for a pet-sitter because she would maintain great communication throughout the job. I 100% recommend Madeline Tanner for this responsibility!”
