“Jules is such an animal lover. My dog loved her right anway and looks forward to seeing her for every walk. Jules is super detail-oriented, dependable, responsive, and most importantly, extremely considerate of your pet. Your furry loved one is in exceptional hands with Jules!”
4. Tessa G.
“Tessa has looked after our pets quite a few times. Our animals love her! She has this amazing magical energy with all of them. Our dog Luca knows she will throw that ball for him. Our very old cat Mouse trusts her to give her medications in the right way. The cats Pipo and Loki fight over her lap. She even charms our pigs Bailey and Itty Bitty to lay dow for a belly rub. We suspect out animals sometimes conspire for us to go away for a while, so that Tessa can take care of them.”

10. Nicole P.
“Nicole has been a dogsitter to both of my family dogs over the past several years. Our black lab (who is no longer with us) adored her! Our rottie, who has known Nicole since she was a puppy, goes absolutely crazy for her in the best way! Our two dogs could not have been more different, with our lab being nervous and gentle and our rottie being HIGHLY energetic. She is well-equipped at handling both doggie personalities, and they both love her so much! She is responsible and caring, and we feel great leaving the smallest members of our family with her anytime they are in her care. 10/10 would recommend Nicole to care for your pet!”
11. Ciara R.
“Ciara is an amazing pet sitter/caregiver! She’s consistent, always on time, very attentive, and most importantly our rescue pup Beau loves her!! Ciara has been phenomenal to work with and I’d recommend her to any pet parent needing a sitter/caregiver - she’s the best!”
12. Mairead B.
“Mairead has watched my cat Ramona several times since she was a kitten. I would give her 10 stars as a pet babysitter because i always trust that my animals will be well cared for, and have a lot of fun with her. Mairead is very loving and hospitable and never appears to feel burdened by guests whether they're pets or people. It's always comforting to drop of your animals with someone who is going to genuinely enjoy their company.”

17. Jessica H.
About: I am a stay at home pug mama and love to fill time taking care of animals. I have a lot of time and love to share with your pet. Dogs are family and bring so much joy into my life. I am always taking care of the pets for friends and family and wanted to extend my home and services to anyone needing a safe, loving and kind home for your dog to come stay. The typical day is spent walking in the morning, afternoon and evening while exploring the different scents and sights of La Jolla. I share my house with my partner Chip and pug Bradley. Chip works full time so it will just be me dog sitting. This house in Bird Rock is every dog's dream to come play and stay at. I just adore the unique personalities of each and every canine cutie. Your pet will have the whole house and enclosed yard to roam freely and safely. Fur friends are welcome on the cozy couches and beds. The floor is hardwood so it's not a problem if we happen to have a little accident. The backyard has turf which dogs can use any time of day to potty. This is the ultimate dog friendly beach getaway for your pet! I am home daily and have the extra space and time to care and share with your fur baby. I have a 5 year old pug Bradley, who I walk 2 to 3 times a day. We are an active and dog centered home. Pets are given free rein to play and relax in the house. The enclosed back yard has turf and the back door is open at all times to allow the fur friends to bathe in the sun, chase balls, or go potty.
18. Katie S.
“Katie is a very mature, caring and dependable young lady. She has grown up with pets since she was a little girl. Katie is compassionate and comfortable around animals. Katie's very physically active lifestyle fits right in with caring for pets; providing walks, runs and play time. I would highly recommend Katie for dog sitting, dog walking, house sitting.”
19. Emma R.
“Emma is amazing! I have had her help with my dog, Chloe, for over 3 years. Chloe does not like many people, but she loves Emma and cries out happy cries at the sight of her. Emma takes her on walks, plays with her, and throws the ball (her favorite). Emma is calm and loving and loves animals! I have shared her info with my mom and brother; they also love using her!”
20. Devon W.
“Devon has been pet sitting for me for a long time. She’s always been reliable, consistent and communicative with me. Most importantly, my dog loves Devon, she’s always excited to see Devon and I feel really comfortable knowing my baby is in good hands.”
