About: I have experience with a wide range of pets, from young to senior cats and dogs. I also have experience with animals that are overweight. I am currently working remotely and have a very flexible schedule so I have tons of availability on both the weekdays and weekends. Happy to care for your baby any time! I follow directions carefully and pay attention to details. I am very attentive and caring especially when it comes to animals. I love getting to know their individual personality and needs.

About: I LOVE animals. I have been around them my whole life, from my own in my household, to pet sitting for friends and family. I just moved here, post grad from college, and am working on getting my own dog out here! I would love to meet your furry friends and be able to love them for you while you are unable to! I just moved here, and work a remote job, so I have full availability! I might down the line work a few days a week at a breakfast restaurant, however my availability will remain very open! My biggest goal is for the animal to be comfortable, and able to trust me. In my home, I do not have a yard. But there is a grass area right outside, as well as a park just a minute walk down the road! I can stay and take care overnight, as well as walk, play and feed the animals, anything needed! Litter box cleaning and picking up poop are not issues at all as well!

About: My love for dogs started very early. My family has always been involved in dog rescues. We have fostered multiple rescue dogs, adopted two of them, and raised two purebred dogs as well. I have never known a home without dogs! Growing up, I volunteered at Forever Loved Pet Sanctuary, where I helped care for abandoned senior dogs in need of comfort. From there, I worked at Seven Dogs Grooming. I was responsible for keeping the dogs safe, comfortable and happy before and after grooming. Throughout college, I continued my involvement in animal care through Pima Animal Care Center’s Paws and Pages Program, where I read to dogs who were especially anxious in a shelter setting. My lifelong experience with rescue dogs and my genuine commitment to the well-being of every animal I care for makes me a great sitter and walker. Whether your dog needs a playmate, a walking buddy, or simply a calming presence, I bring warmth and respect to every visit! Sunday: Available Monday: Available from 1pm-9pm Tuesday: Available from 1pm-9pm Wednesday: Available from 3:30pm-9pm Thursday: Available from 1pm-9pm Friday: Available Saturday: Available from 8am-1pm Thank you! I always prioritize making the pet and the owner feel safe and comfortable. I stick closely to the pet’s routine, as instructed my the owner. Your pet will feel loved and prioritized when they are in my care!

About: I’ve taken care of several dogs over the years including puppies, seniors, and those with health problems (including some with diabetes who need insulin or other medications). I’ve loved animals and been surrounded by them ever since I was young. I love taking cute pics of your fur babies and keeping my own dog’s instagram active 😂. I’m super outdoorsy and have been driving for several years to the many beautiful dog beaches and hiking trails San Diego county has to offer. Having taken care of animals previously, I have access to grooming supplies including a pet wash station in the fenced backyard of my home. As a college student, I am available full time at any hour and any day of the week! Clients planning extended vacations over the summer are no problem! I have a fenced yard safe for pets and a senior dog at home to keep them company! My dog can be easily put away if needed or preferred for your pet. I’m available for walks at any time of the day. If wanted, I can attach AirTags to collars during walks/outdoor activities in case anything unexpected happens!

About: There’s not a moment I can remember when I didn’t have a pet around me growing up! Our first family dog was a golden retriever—a loyal and energetic companion who taught me how to care for larger breeds. Over time, I taught her a variety of commands like sit, paw, lay down, roll over, stand on two paws, and even crawl! Now, we have a sweet 12-pound maltipoo who loves attention and has a more relaxed personality. I’ve trained him to follow many of the same commands, and through this experience, I’ve come to understand how different each dog can be. Their needs, energy levels, and learning styles vary, and I’ve learned to adapt my care and training approach accordingly. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and care for them like a true friend! 🤗 🗓️🖊️ Right now, my schedule is very flexible since my online internship is wrapping up soon. For the summer, I’m able to spend quality time with pets throughout the day—including early mornings and even late nights—since my job is primarily remote and winding down. This allows me to be highly available and responsive to your pet’s needs. Starting in October, I’ll begin my full-time college classes, so my availability will shift a bit. I’ll be sure to update my schedule accordingly and remain transparent so pet parents can plan confidently! 🐾☀️🌿 My approach to pet care is all about making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for—whether I’m visiting your home or spending the day out on a walk. Here’s how I tailor my care depending on the service: • 🏡House Sitting: When staying in your home, I aim to maintain your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible. I provide companionship, follow feeding and medication schedules, take them on walks, and keep them engaged with playtime and affection. I also make sure your home stays tidy and cared for while you’re away. • 🏃♀️Drop-In Visits: During drop-ins, I make the most of each visit to check in on your pet, refresh food and water, take them for a potty break, give them attention, and make sure they’re comfortable. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or just a quick check-in, I adapt each visit to their needs. • 🦮Dog Walking: Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether they enjoy a brisk pace or a slower stroll with lots of sniff breaks, I ensure they get safe, engaging, and enjoyable exercise. I’m always mindful of the weather and surroundings.

“Allison is responsible, communicate, and kind! Super professional and got along super well with our pup! She was on time for walks everyday, sent us photos and videos, and recorded details of the walks every time! Will highly recommend!”


About: Experienced in taking care of family and friends' dogs. Your dog will be staying with my 21 pound, 12 year old, friendly poodle mix Perry. Good sized one bedroom condo that is not overwhelming for your dog, and will get frequent breaks outside and 1-2mile walks around this peaceful and safe neighborhood. I work from home, so I'm mostly at home unless I need to be out to run errands. If your dog is boarding with me then I'll make a point to plan to be with them most of the time. I own and live alone in my condo with a small patio and doggy door. Windows are always open to keep it cool inside, and there are no obvious hazards for dogs to get into trouble. The neighborhood is peaceful and safe, I walk my dog Perry on a leash around here all the time.

About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs and cats. I have been petsitting and walking dogs for over 10 years. I believe that it is important to take each dog's individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. I'm professional, reliable and flexible. My fun and compassionate personality will ensure your dog and I will be best friends. I'm available from Monday to Friday - from 9 am to 6 pm. I can do Sundays and holidays sometimes as well, but would better discuss those in advance. The key is to follow their established routine, providing consistent food, water, exercise, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and attention, while ensuring their safety and comfort within the environment, including regular bathroom breaks and monitoring their overall well-being; this may include specific considerations depending on the pet's species, breed, and any special needs they might have.

About: I have lived and had animals my entire life. I have a toy Aussie and a bernedoodle nephew that is 100 pounds. I think attention and exercise is very important for animals and finding a person who cares for your pets the way you do. I would full time in healthcare but have a flexible schedule. I am wanting to occupy my time and meet some adorable pets in this time. Finding someone you trust to care for your animal is so important. I have personally had great and awful walkers/sitters for my own dog. Therefore, I am wanting to provide that trust and love for your dog that I want for my own.

“Luisa was AMAZING. I have a reactive australian shepherd and got a killer migraine today. I dont have a regular dog walker but thought id test out Rover after success on overnight boarding trips with her. Luisa was so kind and gentle to my pup even when she kept barking at her upon arrival. Her update pictures calmed me so much and she truly walked her all over! They went to Rose Canyon and around the parks near my apartment. Thank you Luisa!!!!”

Omid K.
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Omid caring for my Standard Schnauzer, Cora. It was clear that Omid genuinely loves dogs and understands how to make them feel comfortable and happy. He was attentive to Cora’s needs, making sure she got her daily walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Omid kept me updated with photos and messages, so I always knew how she was doing. He followed all of my instructions for feeding and routine perfectly, and I could tell Cora felt safe and well-cared-for the entire time. Not only is Omid reliable and professional, but he also goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is happy and engaged. I came home to a relaxed, healthy, and very content pup — the best sign of a great sitter. I would absolutely trust Omid to watch Cora again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and experienced dog sitter.”

She has had cats of her own for many years, so she is super informed and educated about being a pet owner. She is very responsible and attentive in caring for my pet. She would stick with the notes I had given her and would take time out of her day to play with my cat, to ensure he socializes, which is something that I care for. She is reliable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”

She easily bonded with her and created a quick rapport. It made me feel at ease knowing Nutty was in good hands. While away, Demi responded quickly to my questions for updates via text. Demi is reliable and responsible and I feel lucky to have her to help me in the future.”
