Pet Sitting La Jolla

About: Growing up, all of my family and friends have had dogs, so I have been around them my whole life. I previously trained with service animals for children with epilepsy and volunteered at the animal shelter for years. I currently have a crazy doodle of my own, so I understand what it takes to look after your pup. I also know how hard it is to trust others to give your pup the same care you give them, so would love to help alleviate some of that stress! I am already caring for my 3 animals at home, so I know how to juggle all of the responsibilities! I currently make my own schedule for the most part, so my schedule is flexible at the moment! Love offering lots of cuddles, treats, long walks, time in the sun, or anything else you or your animal needs during my time with them to feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved!

“Julie is very reliable and communicative. She took great care of our 4 kitties while we were away. Already booked her again for our next trip!”

“Kristina is so amazing with my Frenchie Gus! She’s super communicative about how the walk went, and always super quick to respond. She always takes into consideration how hot it is with how far to walk. I love having her to help take care of Gus on days I work and he’s always happy as can be when I come home!”

“Dina is very fluent in dog body language and caring for dogs. She made a great effort to get to know my reactive little dog, and he was more comfortable with her than any other guest I’ve seen in our home. Thanks Dina!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. I have been relied on to walk, feed, care for animals of all ages. I may be able to do short-notice availability during weekdays. I adore animals and have had multiple pets in my life: cats, dog, geckos, turtle. I work from home & have slower afternoons and evenings, that gives me time to play with your pups and kitties during the work week. I have some flexibility on timing during the day to find a time that would work best I am very respectful of people spaces, as I’d hope someone would be in my home/of my pets. I am attentive of the pets needs; making sure they are safe/inside, entertained, bathroom needs are met, well fed and watered. Any medicine needing administered I can help with as well.

I've volunteered at humane societies and pet clinics in both Hawaii and San Diego for 2 years which helped me gain experience working with different animals in various settings. I'm comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes and understand the importance of making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a friendly dog park and walkway behind my apartment that is very pet friendly!

About: Hi my name is Mieko! For the past three years I’ve been house-sitting dogs and cats for friends and family, often several animals at once. I have two cats of my own, and grew up with dogs, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and routines. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks. I’m reliable and friendly, and I’ll treat your pet’s routine like it matters. Message me and we can set up a meet and greet! I am a student and work part-time in the evenings. I am available to stop by 7 days a week, anytime before 4 p.m., to check on your pet(s)! I treat your home the way I’d want mine treated. I follow your instructions for feeding, medication, and routines, and I lock doors behind me every visit. On walks, dogs stay leashed and I watch for traffic and other dogs. On visits, I refresh food and water, tidy up, and spend time with your pet. I will update you after every visit, and I’ll contact you right away if anything seems off. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet first so your pet gets comfortable with me.

“Ana has taken care of my kitties a few times and I always know they are in good hands with her :) She is super communicative and even got my senior cat to take his meds. Thank you so much Ana!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up caring for a Boxer, and my family later had a Shih Tzu. I also cared for Ariel, a high-energy Vizsla who needed plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. As a personal trainer and running coach, I enjoy staying active and would love to take your dog on walks or runs suited to their needs. I’m also happy to spend time giving them affection and company. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I’ll follow your instructions to help yours feel comfortable and cared for. I’m building my personal training schedule in San Diego and can arrange pet care around my appointments. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting by arrangement. We can discuss your pet’s routine and confirm a schedule that works for both of us. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, and home safety. I keep dogs on leash during walks, check that doors and gates are secure, and pay attention to their comfort and behavior. I’ll respect your home and send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing.

“Kayla did such an incredible job watching our cat!! She was very thorough and communicative! We looked forward to her pictures every day and she was so reliable! 10/10 recommend!!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet I care for with the same attention I give my own. I’ve had dogs my whole life, from 100+ lb Rhodesian Ridgebacks to mid-sized Staffy and pit mixes. I’ve also had a cat and am comfortable with sassy, shy, and independent cats. I have extensive volunteer experience, including with the Rancho Coastal Humane Society. I’m patient with shy pets and happy to take on rambunctious ones, as long as I get a heads-up about their personality and energy level. I keep my clients informed with clear communication and photos as well. Availability: Weekdays before 8am and after 6pm, with flexible availability on weekends. Serving Pacific Beach, La Jolla, and North County. I accept last minute bookings! I treat every pet and home with care. I will ask about your pet’s routine, personality, and behaviors, and follow your instructions closely. On walks I stay alert to traffic, children, and other animals. I also send updates and pictures to let you know how your pet is doing. For home-sitting, I’m organized and cleanly, so things are tidy and secure upon your return.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m a proud crazy cat lady who loves dogs just as much! I have two years of experience working as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, from playful puppies and energetic dogs to independent kitties and senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, cuddles, or simply keeping your pets company while you’re away, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My veterinary background has taught me the importance of being attentive, patient, and compassionate. I understand that pets are family, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry best friends. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! 🐾💕 I currently work full time, but I’m available any time on weekends and after 2:30 pm every week day. I can be flexible with scheduling needs if needed. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I believe caring for your pets also means respecting and taking care of your home as if it were my own. I will make sure your pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, follow their usual routines, and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can feel connected and reassured that your furry family members are in good hands. With my veterinary technician experience, I understand how important it is to be attentive, responsible, and mindful of each pet’s individual needs. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are being cared for by someone who genuinely loves them, and for your pets to feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend. ❤️🐾

“Wow, I can’t recommend Madison enough. If you’re on the fence about having someone watch your cat, ask Madison to and you won’t regret it! She was so great about following instructions, incredibly meticulous and fantastic communicator. Everyone was kept clean and organised and she went well out of her way to make sure my cats were taken care of. Thank you! And I can’t wait to have Madison back.”

About: Hi! My name is Claire and I’m a grad student at UCSD. I have about 4 years of experiences taking care of cats and dogs, and I’m also an active volunteer at San Diego Humane Society. I truly enjoy being around dogs and cats and will take care of them like my own. And I will follow the instructions and make sure keep the communications clear throughout during the service!! Thank you for choosing and trusting me! My office is pet-friendly and close to the ocean where I can bring your furry friend to and take them out for a walk by the ocean on weekdays! I also have the options to WFH to provide companies with your pet:) Over the weekend, I like to go for a hike/run where I can bring them for some outdoor activities as well! I live with a roommate who also loves pets (she’s only around on some of the weekdays) in a 2b2b apartment. Most of time I only sit one dog at a time to ensure the most comfortable experience and space for them.

“Julia was quick to respond and super reliable. She took my puppy to her house to play with her two dogs and then dropped her back off, and visited again in the afternoon to feed her lunch and let her out. She sent many pictures and took great care. Highly recommend and have already booked Julia again!”

“Dylan is great!! She’s taken care of my pup Ollie multiple times now and is super reliable, responsive, and consistent. She’ll always be who I reach out to first with any pet care needs!”

“Paige is perfect! Our cat, Felix recognized her from last time she visited and seemed to be very comfortable with her. We won’t hesitate to use Rover and Paige again!”

“Averi was so kind and very patient with our two pups! This was the first time we have left our girls with anyone off of Rover and it was a wonderful experience. Averi was very communicative with us (including photos!) while we were gone on a day trip. Next time we need help watching our pups, we will definitely be contacting Averi again. Thank you so much for your help!”
