Josette has been our go-to Pet Sitter for over a year. She takes great care of our pets and is also respectful of our space. She cleans up after our pets outside and sprays down the messes. She also cleans up after herself and washes the linens, when we don’t expect her to do so. She is all around a kind, considerate, and a thoughtful professional. I highly recommend Josette as your Pet Sitter.

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, 💯.

Once again, Dwayne took great care of my reactive, temperamental mid-sized dog, Jacques, while I was away for a week. He messaged me daily with photos and an update, and alerted me when Jacques had a rough night with some stomach issue. He understood how to handle Jacques' unreliable moods and behavior, gave a twice daily medication, and followed our normal routine for feeding and walks. Jacques was very calm and chill when I returned home. Highly recommend for his ability to handle difficult dogs!

About: I love spending time with dogs, they keep me active! I have grown up with dogs and have experince with dog walking and pet sitting. Looking forward to meeting yours soon! Since I moved to san diego, pet care has become a fulfilling way for me to spend my free time doing something I love. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk or weekend pet sitting, I make time for each pet as if they were my own <3 When I care for pets in clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and cleanliness. I carefully follow your instructions. You can count on me for regular updates and photos while you're away!! (lots of photo updates)

About: I’m a student at UC San Diego with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’ve been living with animals since I was a baby and have always felt comfortable and confident around them. Back home in Taiwan, I have two cats and a dog, and every summer I volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I help care for animals of all ages and needs. Although I don’t currently have pets in San Diego, I regularly help friends by pet-sitting while they’re away, so I still get to spend a lot of time with cats and dogs. I’m organized, clean, and truly care about each animal’s comfort and well-being. I always try to treat every pet like my own—with patience, affection, and respect for their routines and personality. Whether it's senior care, playful young pets, or just keeping up with daily walks and meals, I’m dedicated to making animals feel safe, loved, and at ease. As a UCSD student, I have a consistent class schedule that allows me to plan ahead and make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s routine. I’m reliable, organized, and always make sure each visit or stay is calm, caring, and comfortable for your pet. When I’m walking or sitting with pets, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar experience for them. I always follow your pet’s routine—whether that’s walk routes, feeding times, or play preferences—to keep things consistent and comforting. For walks, I make sure leashes are secure, stay alert to our surroundings, and adjust the pace to match your dog’s energy and needs. During sitting visits, I keep the environment tidy, stick to any specific care instructions, and make sure your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you're away. I’m gentle, patient, and respectful of each animal’s space and personality. You can count on me to treat your pet—and your home—with attention, respect, and care. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re apart from your furry friend.

My dogs mean the world to me & leaving them is always a little nerve-racking so finding someone I can trust & rely on for their safety & care means everything. Elise instantly put me at ease from the moment I met her. I was immediately impressed by her careful attention to detail & thoughtfulness as I went over all the instructions for my 2 dogs. I felt comfortable knowing my girls were in capable, caring hands. She is trustworthy, professional, and very considerate. She had great communication & updates with adorable photos of my pups. We returned to our home in perfect condition, and healthy, happy dogs. I am so grateful to have found Elise & I highly recommend her!
