Pet Sitting La Jolla

“Laurie is the BEST! She helped care for our foster dog on multiple occasions and was communicative, professional, and caring throughout the whole process. She took the time for a meet and greet with our pup beforehand to ensure we felt comfortable while we were out of town. We were also training our foster and Laurie was able to share helpful tips toward that process. We're so grateful and would highly recommend her. Thank you Laurie for all your help!”

“Janet did an amazing job taking care of my cat Theo! She is everything you would want in a cat sitter: responsible, communicative, and experienced. Even though my cat can be a little unpredictable, Janet handled everything like a pro and I never once worried about my cat when I was gone. Thanks Janet!”

About: I have wanted to be surrounded by animals as long as I can remember. I have been a certified dog foster through San Diego Humane Society for three years. I am up to date on all their trainings and have been tremendously enjoying my fostering journey. We are now opening our home and family to helping our neighbors and community by taking care of their dogs when needed. I’m currently a part-time teacher so my schedule is predictable. Outside of set teaching hours, I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your dog’s routine. The dogs I care for become a part of the family. The animal’s comfort is a top priority and I will follow their routine and needs to make their transition into my care as easy as possible. I believe you know your animal best and will follow closely your instructions.

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.

“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’m the go-to pet sitter for all my friends and have had pets my whole life! My pets have always meant the world to me, so you can rest assured I’ll treat yours with the TLC they deserve. I’m currently working from home which gives me the freedom to take care of pets whenever I’d like. Bring on all of the fur-babies! :) Unfortunately, my current place does not allow animals, which is why the only services I’m providing would be me going to your dog. I’m available for play-time, potty breaks, walks/runs etc. Ideally, I’d like to know if your dog has quirks or preferences that would make both of us more comfortable. Behavioral notes are key as well.

“Gabriella did a great job taking care of our kitties and communicating with us and sending photos.”

“Jenna did an excellent job taking care of my two cats. During each drop-in, she left detailed notes and photos. She communicated well and was available on last minute notice. I will definitely trust her to take care of my cats next time I’m out of town!”

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.

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.

About: Hi! I'm Vivian, a UCSD medical student and lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from 9-week-old puppies to 12-year-old senior dogs. In the past, I've provided dog walking, feeding, and overnight house sitting, and I'm comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'm also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'll make sure they receive attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a medical student on summer break so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends! Throughout the rest of summer, my schedule is very flexible to cater to whatever your pet needs :) I live at graduate housing which has plenty of green space for your pets to roam around and explore! I am able to crate your pets if necessary. I have a senior cat at home that has lived with other cats before and has also been friendly with all dogs that have come to visit my home.

Over the years, I've cared for 3 cats, 2 dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, so I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I love getting to know each one individually. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, giving medication, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I'm dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. Animals bring so much joy to our lives, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets!

About: Growing up in a family of six, I cared for dogs, birds, and even a bunny, learning responsibility early. Each pet became a vital part of our family, and I gained hands-on experience training and caring for various dog breeds like beagles, poodles, Frenchies, chihuahuas, Bernese mountain dogs, Shiba Inu, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and many more. This diverse background sets me apart from other sitters by giving me a deep understanding of the unique needs of different breeds and a lifelong dedication to providing loving, attentive care. As I work remotely and usually finish by 3 PM most days, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine easily. This allows me to schedule walks and enrichment activities throughout the day, ensuring your pets get the attention and exercise they need. Additionally, I am available on weekends, making it convenient for any pet care needs you may have. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, ensuring they have plenty of space to play and relax. I prioritize their needs by maintaining a consistent routine, including feeding, exercise, and enrichment activities. For walks and playtime, I take into account each pet's energy level and preferences to keep them engaged and happy. When caring for pets, I maintain their routines to provide a sense of familiarity and comfort. I ensure that their feeding schedules are followed, provide regular exercise, and offer companionship. Communication is key, so I keep pet owners updated on their pets’ activities and well-being, ensuring they feel connected and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and cared for, whether in my home or theirs.

About: I have been the go-to dog sitter for my family members’ and friends’ dogs for many years. I’m glad to help take out or walk your pup! I am currently self employed and work limited hours of my choosing, allowing me the flexibility and time to help your pet most days of the week. I am very hands on and attentive to all pets including my own. I am very mindful with their eating habits, I wipe their paws after being outside, and ensure they have water, play time and plenty of walks.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with dogs and have spent the last 8–10 years caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs, from walks and drop-ins to overnight stays. I also have my own dog, Scooby, who I rescued when he was about a year old. He’s now almost 8, and he’s truly my best buddy and a huge part of my life. Having Scooby has given me years of hands-on experience with the day-to-day care, routines, and personalities that come with having a dog. I’m naturally someone who loves being around animals and enjoys getting to know each dog’s individual personality. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, a little shy, older and set in their ways, or just wants some extra attention and cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pet, so I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like one of my own. And of course, Scooby is always happy to have a new friend around! 🐶 I work in the office Tuesday through Friday, but I’m home Friday evening through Monday evening. I’m available for weekend boarding, as well as dog walks and drop-ins while I’m home. I’m an experienced dog owner and treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I have a seven-year-old dog named Scooby who enjoys having other dogs around. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and supervision. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions.

“I can’t recommend Yue highly enough! She went above and beyond my expectations while taking care of my two cats. Not only did she follow all instructions perfectly, but she also gave them so much love and attention. I could tell they were happy and comfortable in her care. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much for your amazing care!”

About: I have been raising puppies and training them my entire adult life. It is rare I meet a dog that doesn’t love me just as much as I love them. I am passionate about keeping their spaces comfortable and fun! I work remotely during the week, Monday through Friday. I can work from anywhere and can take breaks as needed. My weekend availability is wide-open with notice. I am very attentive when it comes to pet safety. I like to listen to the animal’s needs and what their owners need and recommend as well.
