Hannah was amazing with my pup. She was responsive and send regular updates through the sitting window. She followed all requests and made me feel confident that my little pup was in good hands. She took Rye on a long walk and made sure to set up the apartment before she left. Highly recommend!

About: I have taken care of dogs from senior chihuahuas with diabetes to great danes to puppies, along with my two fur babies! I have trained dogs on how to walk on leash, bathing dogs, done post surgical care for my own dogs in the past as well as worked with many other dogs administering their medications. I welcome all personalities of doggos from the shy ones to the super energetic! I work part time in a remote position. I will occasionally see patients in their homes. Otherwise I work remote 5 days a week and would love to spend time with your pet! I have experience with crate training, leash training and using enrichment activities to help more energetic dogs burn off extra energy! I prioritize providing your pet with a safe and loving environment. I treat all pets as if they are my own. I believe strongly in "listening" to the body language of pets and building trust over time.

Nicole was kind, confident, and loving with Forest. She made it a priority to meet up in advance of the stay, asked thoughtful questions, and learned Forest’s quirks! She took him on multiple long daily walks, sent daily recaps with photos, and left the house in perfect condition. Would definitely love to work with Nicole again in the future.

About: Hey, I'm Jack! I grew up on a family farm surrounded by animals, which gave me a lifelong love for pets. My roommates and I currently live with two rescued dogs, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, attention, and patience every pets need. I’m 27, work from home full-time, and live an active lifestyle in Pacific Beach. Because I work remotely, I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets throughout the day—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Every pet has their own personality and needs, and I do my best to understand and accommodate them. I’m dependable, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond to messages. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets!

We were lucky to have Ainsley watch our two dogs, Roman and Cleo, for 5 days while we were away, and she truly went above and beyond. From the very first communication, Ainsley was responsive, thoughtful, and clearly a genuine dog lover. She took excellent care of our pups, keeping them happy, exercised, and relaxed the entire time. She made sure to take them on fun outings to Fiesta Island, one of the best off-leash spots in San Diego, where they got to run around, sniff everything, and burn off plenty of energy. Roman and Cleo came back tired in the best way possible, with wagging tails and big smiles (and probably a bit of sandy fur!). Beyond the dogs, Ainsley took wonderful care of our house—everything was tidy, mail was brought in, and the place felt secure and welcoming when we returned. She sent regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were traveling. We can't recommend Ainsley highly enough. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and proactive sitter in the area, she's the one! Thank you, Ainsley!
