“Bridgette was so wonderful!! She stayed at our home and watched our puppy and made us feel so comfortable leaving town. Highly recommend!! Kind, responsible, and our pup loved her.”

“This is our second time with Dustin and again he was amazing! Our dog really loves him, and he is so respectful and responsive, and takes great care with our pet and our home. 5 stars!! We will rebook him for sure!”

“Josette has been wonderful with our two dogs! We have an anxious girl who is typically nervous around new people but she took to Josette right away and is now very excited when she comes because she knows she is going to go on an adventure with her and have a blast. Josette is also great with our senior guy, and she’s able to tire them both out even though they have different exercise needs. Josette also totally spoiled them with plenty of treats (pre-approved by us) and by switching up the activities she took them on so every day was new and exciting. She also sent plenty of update photos, which we appreciate. We’re very pleased with how quickly our dogs became comfortable with her and we fully trust her with our fur babies. I highly recommend Josette!”

“A wonderful and kind girl. Trustworthy above & beyond cat person. She stayed in touch multiple times a day and made the time pass for Bowie as if I had never left. My car has never been so at peace in my absence & I am so happy I found my new Catsitter.”

“Kendall was awesome. He took my dog on countless runs, I can’t believe how much energy this guy has! And kept me updated with lots of photos and videos. Would definitely book again, highly recommended.”

“Thank you for taking such good care of my kids! My dog, Charlie, and my cat, Apollo, both were very well taken care of. I received a lot of updates and photos and came home to a clean house with happy animals. I recommend Ryan for taking care of your babies :)”


“Julie stayed at our house for the week while we were away for work, and i couldn’t be happier with her! She kept me updated on how our boy was doing the whole week, and the house was in pristine condition when I got home! 100000% will be using her whenever she is available!”


About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and previously house and dog sat for families throughout the South Bay. After moving to San Diego, I’m excited to get back into dog sitting and caring for your dog! I work remotely, so dog care fits easily into my daily routine. I have flexibility for morning and lunchtime walks, drop-in visits throughout the day, and can work my schedule around your dog’s needs. I’m also able to stay at your home while you’re away and can adjust my routine to make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I like to keep dogs as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and anything else they’re used to. I’ll also make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise while keeping your home clean and treating it with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Vivian was an awesome sitter for our 8 month old pup. She was loving, caring and playful with her to tire her out. She was on time and followed our instructions. We definitely will use her again! Thank you Vivian!”
“We had a great experience! She took such good care of Hank and Winnie, and they had a great time with her. She also sent us pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were well cared for while we were away. We would definitely book with her again!”


About: Growing up on farmland, there were always animals around! Whether we were training our rescues or helping find homes for the strays that showed up at our door, we always had pets to care for. I have gained so much knowledge and experience over the years through helping my parents care for our animals, volunteering at shelters and hosting friends’ pets long-term. I sadly left my pets at the farm when I moved to San Diego, so I am looking for some new furry friends! I have a lot of love to give, and it would be such a pleasure to care for your pet!! <3 I am free on most weekdays in the late afternoon/evening, and I am free for overnights and all day care on weekends. I am currently in school and working another job, but I will do my very best to be accommodating!! I am a very attentive sitter, and the wellbeing of your pet will always be my top priority. I understand every pet parent has their own way of doing things, and I will do whatever I can to make sure you and your pet feel comfortable in my care!
“Melissa did a wonderful job taking care of my Mali and Simba. She gave me updates with pics each day and even took Mali to the beach! I would definitely use her again to watch my fur babies!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old, and I grew up with 3 dogs in my house. I also worked at the San Francisco SPCA for two years when I lived there, and I’m on the Young Professionals Board of the Rancho Coastal Humane Society here in San Diego. I work remotely on a computer, and it’s likely I would plan to work from your home and spend quality time with your dog all day. I love having a furry friend around and I keep pretty active, so walking or even jogging or playing fetch with a high energy breed is no trouble. I love caring for dogs in their home environment where they are most comfortable, and saving them the stress of an unfamiliar environment while their family is out of town.
“Kannica was so communicative & sweet with Chai - it made me feel super secure knowing that Chai was being well taken care of! She sent multiple photos every day and I could tell that Chai felt comfortable with her and had a great time in her care this week. Would absolutely rebook :)”

“Roberta was amazing with our 5 month old puppy! He can be a handful and we are we’re worried about leaving him for the first time. Roberta was knowledgeable and kept us updated with pictures along the way. She gave our boy lots of love, play and walk time. We appreciate her so much!”

“Dina and Jose are amazing pet sitters. Dina was very communicative and sent great updates and photos daily. She really made me feel confident that everything was under control while we were gone. One of our dogs is usually quite anxious, but he seemed totally comfortable with them and was super relaxed when we got home. The house was clean when we got home. They even washed the sheets and took care of our trash cans so we didn't have to worry about it. I so appreciate them caring for our pets!”

“April was great watching my Australian Shepard! He's an active pup and I loved the he was still able to get his usual amount of steps in. I also appreciated the photo updates”

Kendall was great! He took amazing care of my anxious dog. She requires daily medications and she gets sad when I’m gone for multiple days, but he was able to get her to come out of her shell. Kendall sent daily updates with lots of pictures which was much appreciated!

I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! Gina went above and beyond for us while taking care of Zero. Our house was clean and tidy when we came home, and Zero looked like he had a great time as well. Gina was one of the best sitters we’ve had in a long time. Will definitely book again in the future.

We highly recommend Magree! She looked after our five-month-old Border Collie puppy, Lila, for five days and did a fantastic job. Caring for a young puppy is no easy task, especially when they are still learning commands. Magree walked, fed, and cared for Lila, paying special attention to safety and keeping the house clean. We received regular photos of our beloved pet, which we really appreciated. Magree showed patience, responsibility, and genuine care. We had complete peace of mind during our trip, and when we returned home, we found Lila happy. Thank you, Magree! We will definitely call on you again.

We had a great experience! She took such good care of Hank and Winnie, and they had a great time with her. She also sent us pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were well cared for while we were away. We would definitely book with her again!

It was our first time using rover and Jamie watched our two dogs and we had a great experience. She made it super easy for us and provided us frequent updates. The boys loved her and were well taken care of. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs at home pet care!!

Our pup was clearly in good hands with Julie! We got multiple updates throughout our trip, and our home was in excellent shape when we returned. Julie was communicative and kept our routine, which really helps our dog feel safe. It was clear our girl loved her time with Julie, and will be excited to see her when we rebook 🙌🏽

April is absolutely amazing ! 12/10 gave our dogs and home so much love and care while we had a long trip and it couldn’t have been better. She loves dogs so much and was on top of my dogs meds and giving them what they need. We really hope to have April watch our fur babies again and put home as she was excellent 😍

We had such a wonderful experience with Bridgette! She was incredibly responsive, respectful, and attentive, and she took such great care of our dogs. From the beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident leaving our pups in her care, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciated how dependable and caring she was, and we would absolutely book her again in the future!

Josie was AMAZING, and we would recommend her to anyone. She was incredibly patient and gentle with our verrryyyy anxious pup, and she bonded with her quickly, which is no small feat. We felt completely comfortable the entire time Josie was watching our dog and our home. She maintained great communication and sent photos to keep us in the loop, which was greatly appreciated. Josie even accommodated a very last-minute change to help us out, and we're so grateful for her!!
