About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my entire life! I’ve had 6 dogs of my own. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors' dogs at just 10 years old, and at 16, I started watching cats as well. I’d love to meet your pets and give them a home away from home :) I would love to spend all day with your pets. I work a part-time job where I will occasionally cover 4-hour shifts, but that’s the only time I’m away from the house. I would love to discuss what you love for your pets, whether it is car rides, walks, runs, etc. I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space. I’m ready for all the energy or no energy at all, and I’ll be sure to follow any specified requests on how I can make your pet's time away from you and/or home the best time!

“Lindsay was amazing! I’m a first time user of Rover and just moved to SD. I was a bit nervous for this first visit but Lindsay made sure to answer all my questions, actively communicated, and really made me feel at ease with the first home visit. She was patient with my dog who is having some mild adjustment issues to his new environment. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: I have had dogs of all sizes and ages growing up so I'm very comfortable with any dog. I have also been asked to walk many of my friends' dogs as well, allowing me to have experience with dogs who are not my own. I work a typical 9-5 where I’m in office, however afternoons are free and Fridays I am remote, making my schedule much more flexible! Weekends I am also free! If I were to take your pets outside on walks, they will always be securely leashed, and if I do decide to go to a park/environment for dogs I will confirm that it is okay with the you as well as making sure it is a safe place for your pet and me in general. I would never do anything without the owners approval because I understand the heartache of losing a pet to unexpected incidences.

“Great sitter! I reached out to Alyssa super last minute to watch my dog. She came through and responded immediately when I contacted her 🙌”

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.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals. My family bred Siamese cats, and we always had dogs of all sizes in our home. In June 2025, I began house and pet sitting and quickly fell in love with it. Being able to spend time with animals again has been incredibly rewarding. Since then, I've cared for dogs both large and small, watched multiple pets at once, and administered medications when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease. I live a fairly routine lifestyle and enjoy spending lots of quality time with the pets in my care. I typically start my day early, which allows plenty of time for morning potty breaks, feeding, and attention before I head out to train clients for a few hours. I'm usually back home around midday and enjoy spending time with the animals I'm caring for. Depending on their energy level and owner's preferences, this may include walks, playtime, a run, or even a hike. I also work virtually at times, which allows me to be home throughout much of the day. In the evening, I'll follow your pet's normal feeding schedule and spend the rest of the night relaxing at home. Whether your pet enjoys cuddling on the couch, playing, or simply having someone nearby, they'll have plenty of companionship and attention. I'm typically home in the evenings and maintain a consistent routine, helping pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and respectful experience for every family I work with. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I prioritize safety on walks and outings and always make sure pets are secure and comfortable. When staying in a client's home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep the home clean and tidy, lock doors and windows when leaving, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the entire stay.

About: I have been around dogs since I was 3 years old. I have 2 rescue dogs and have experience fostering multiple puppies at a time. I also have experience caring for other animals such as horses and genuine pigs. I walk and feed my dogs daily. They are high energy and require two walks everyday. For this reason, I have also learned how to train dogs. I have a very large yard and two other friendly dogs to keep yours company. Walks are a big part of my daily dog care routine so your dog would be sure to receive a lot of exercise. Additionally, I am very flexible with care and happy to crate your dog if needed. There are many dog parks in the area that are easily accessible as well.

Your dog will enjoy peaceful walks, fresh ocean air, and beautiful sunrise and sunset views from our backyard. We also have a very friendly 11-year-old beagle, Justin, who absolutely loves other dogs and can’t wait to make new friends.

My wife Iris and I both work from home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re flexible during the week and weekends, and we build our schedule around your dog’s needs to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and relaxed while you’re away.

About: My grandpa had many dogs and grandma takes care of cats. So, I grew up loving pets. I love nature and the outdoors as well. I studied environmental sustainability. I’m a Christian. I was once a lifeguard, and people can trust me with their lives and pets:) I love plants and have a green thumb. My work is very flexible. Only occasionally do I need to go into office. And I wouldn’t know ahead of the time when I have appointments. Most of them are fairly brief: 2 to 3 hours. However, I do need to make arrangements ahead of time in terms of scheduling. So please reach out as early as possible. Occasionally, I have travel plans as well. I can come to your home and take care of your pets or walk the dogs in the neighborhood. If you prefer, I can sometimes take them to dog parks.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for my two dogs daily. I’m very familiar with structured routines, I’m used to long walks — sometimes up to two hours — including playtime and rest breaks as needed, always adapting to the dog’s energy level. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, always adapting to their specific needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own, prioritizing safety and lots of affection. I currently work online and part-time, so I would have plenty of time to care for your dog, giving him attention, playtime, and exercise. At home, we usually go to bed early because we have a dog who wakes up very early and starts his day with his routine of going out to relieve himself. I have two friendly dogs who could keep your dog company. I'm also very close to the bay where I usually go with my dogs. I typically take a long walk in the mornings to Fiesta or around the area, depending on how my day is going. And I have several spaces in the house where your dog can rest peacefully after walks.

About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was a baby, and they've always been a huge part of my life!

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!

Whether it's playtime, walks, medication, or extra cuddles, I'm committed to providing reliable and loving care. With years of experience caring for cats, dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, I'm comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities.

“Julie is kind, patient, and extremely reliable. She took the time to get to know my four cats & their routines so that she could take exceptional care of them while we were away. She even returned to my home after-hours to help one of my kitties get unstuck from behind the washer! I highly recommend Julie to all pet parents.”
