House Sitting In La Jolla Village

“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!”

“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 :)”

About: I offer a unique blend of scientific precision and deep compassion for your pets. For two years, I fostered shy and anxious dogs for the Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC). Getting accepted into their program required passing a rigorous vetting process, including interviews, home visits, and specialized training. Through HWAC, I gained extensive experience caring for rescues with complex medical and behavioral needs, including parasites, severe dental issues, and anxiety. I also provided essential behavior and obedience training to help these dogs thrive. Before fostering dogs, I was the proud owner of a diabetic cat for five years. I am completely comfortable with advanced medical care, including tracking blood glucose with a glucometer, administering subcutaneous insulin injections twice daily, and giving oral medications. My background as a scientist allows me to communicate clearly and effectively with veterinarians and clinic staff, ensuring your pet's medical instructions are followed perfectly. Because I currently have no pets of my own and am taking a hiatus from work, I have total availability. I look forward to devoting 100% of my time, skills, and love to your companion here in the San Diego area! 24/7 Flexible Availability (Evenings & Weekends Included) Because I am currently on a professional hiatus, your pet becomes my primary focus. I have complete schedule flexibility to accommodate your exact routine, including early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and holidays. Unlike sitters juggling a traditional 9-to-5, I am available for mid-day medical checks, precise feeding times, and extended companionship. Whether you need standard drop-ins or a dedicated presence to ease an anxious pet's separation anxiety, my open schedule allows me to be there whenever you or your pet need me most. Specialized In-Home Care for Your Pet's Comfort I provide premium, attentive care exclusively inside your pet's own home, where they already feel safest and most comfortable. Because I live in a yard-free condominium, I choose not to offer boarding. Instead, I bring my extensive medical and behavioral experience directly to your doorstep. This setup ensures your pet’s routine remains completely uninterrupted, eliminating the stress of a new environment. Whether your cat requires precise, timely insulin injections or your dog needs a patient, structured potty schedule, I adapt entirely to your home's setup. Your pet gets 100% of my focus in the environment they love best, giving you total peace of mind while you are away.

“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!”

“Debbie was a wonderful sitter for our doodle puppy. We were visiting San Diego for the weekend, and hired Debbie for a few hours to watch Mozzie at our Airbnb while we went out to dinner. Mozzie and Debbie clicked instantly, which put us at ease to enjoy our evening! She was very easy to communicate with, flexible when we shifted our booking times around, sent pictures throughout the evening, took him on a walk, and even accommodated Mozzie’s funky eating habits. We will definitely call Debbie again for our next San Diego trip!”

“Elise did a fantastic job dogsitting Athena! She was very responsive, gave daily updates (with pictures). She even took time meet Athena before I traveled, and to learn some commands. I had a complete peace of mind during my trip and Athena was sad to let her go. I would definitely recommend Elise, and book her again, 💯.”

“Jordan took great care of my dog Violet! She was really patient with my shy girl and followed all the instructions I left her. Thank you Jordan!”

“Ryanne was amazing with my two cats! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I came home to two happy cats and would absolutely book with her again!”

“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Louie! She was so sweet, super communicative, and kept me updated the whole time. You can tell she really cares Louie was so happy and well taken care of when I got back. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend! :) 💗”

“Jason was my first house/dogsitting experience with Rover; and I couldn't be more impressed. He followed our instructions perfectly and spoiled our precious Luna, kept in contact regularly, and left the house (AND Luna) in impeccable condition. Luna is the sweetest, but she can be kind of needy (she's a rescue who is used to a lot of attention and affection); and I can tell she had all her needs met. It made our family trip to Hawaii SO much better knowing she was in such good hands. Jason is obviously extremely conscientious and thoughtful. He not only left the house clean, but washed the sheets and towels he used; and we came to a very content doggy. I highly recommend Jason and will definitely reach out to him again.”

“She gave us a stress free vacation while taking of our beloved Beau! Sent multiple pictures a day, kept in touch and gave our boy lots of cuddles and treats!”

About: I have multiple years of experience caring for pets in the area and I am formally trained in animal nursing. I focus on enrichment, exercise, and keeping your pets healthy and well-loved (plus cute photos!). I’m between school semesters and I would love to meet all of your pets in my downtime! I have regular availability and am able to plan my day around you. I recognize the trust I am given when I enter someone’s home, and I always keep the space secure and clean of any pet-related messes. Part of my routine if the client is away is sending a picture including the locked door and house number.

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them my entire life, including dog sitting for families, friends, and neighbors over the years. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making them feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I'm dependable, attentive to routines, and happy to provide regular walks, playtime, cuddles, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am in online summer school, so I am looking for a job that can align with my current schedule, while making income. I am very flexible and I have my own car, which allows me to drive from house to house! I always prioritize a pet's safety, comfort, and routine while their owner is away. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any household rules. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, while also keeping the home clean, secure, and respected. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I strive to provide dependable care and regular updates for peace of mind.
