Pet Sitting La Jolla Village

“Hannah did a great job taking care of my dog! She was very communicative, sent regular updates and photos, and kept me reassured while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive and responsive she was. I would definitely recommend Hannah and would happily have her watch my dog again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old—not only my own, but also those of family members, friends, and coworkers. Before moving away for college, I had both a Yorkie and a Pit Bull—two breeds that couldn’t be more different. Through consistency, patience, and positive training, I was able to teach them good habits and routines to the point where I felt confident leaving them in the care of my younger sibling. To me, pets are so much more than just animals—they’re family. They provide us with unconditional love, comfort, and companionship, and I believe they deserve that same love and care in return. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. They deserve more than just a filled food bowl or a quick potty break—they deserve playtime, affection, belly rubs, attention, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I hope to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for with the same patience, kindness, and love I’d give my own. I’m currently working part time, 8-12 hours a week and my schedule is very flexible. I’m both an early bird and night owl and fit an early walk and night walk every day. Additionally, especially because it’s summer I have nothing in between work and if I did I’m always willing to fit any plans accordingly to your pets needs. I believe that caring for someone’s home is just as important as caring for their pet. I always treat my clients’ homes the way I would hope someone would treat mine—with respect, honesty, and care. I understand that pets can have accidents, especially when they’re adjusting to a new person or their family is away. If that happens, I have no problem cleaning up after them and making sure everything is left clean and comfortable. If I’m staying in your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and your routines. I’ll communicate with you beforehand to understand your preferences—whether that’s wearing shoes inside, using certain areas of the home, preparing meals, or anything else that’s important to you. I’ll always clean up after myself and leave your home in the same condition I found it, if not better. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your home and your furry family member are being treated with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

“Victor came by and took Copper out during the day and it was so helpful. Communication was great and Copper was happy!”

“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.”

“Sara was great to work with and took great care of both of my cats while I was on vacation. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Chaminie was prompt, friendly and reliable! She was able to come to the house my friends and I had rented multiple times throughout the day. She was kind and caring toward my puppy, kimchi and was fully capable of taking care of my three-month-old golden doodle. When I returned home after being away for the day, my puppy was happy and healthy. Chaminie took care of feeding her lunch, giving her water to drink, taking her out to go to go potty, and rewarding her with treats. I had a great experience with Chaminie and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”

About: I'm a responsible, attentive, four (and three!) pawed pet sitter. Years caring for cats, dogs, and chickens taught me that every animal has its own routine and quirks, and paying attention to them is everything. I learn your pet's habits fast, stick to their schedule, and treat them like my own the whole time you're away. I'm currently working 100% from home as a freelancer, meaning I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pet's needs, whether that be morning walks, afternoon drop ins, or last minute boarding. I live an active lifestyle and would love to take your pet on beach walks, park runs, or stay home and cuddle on the couch. I live in a spacious and quiet apartment with access to many green spaces and other dog friends within the complex. I have no pets and plenty of space for your pets to feel comfortable in my home. I am responsible and open to any specific needs or routines your pets may have.

“Thank you for the attentive care, Bella! We will definitely rebook with you :)”

“Janet was wonderful - very easy to work with, generous and kind with our dog who loved her, and very detailed in her reports. Will definitely book her again. Thank you Janet!”

About: Growing up around difficult pets which required numerous hours of attention and care, as well as through my work experience at veterinary clinics, I am able to understand and adapt myself to the lifestyle of the animals, working around their difficulties and allowing them to thrive. As a current student at UCSD who is studying biology as a precursor for obtaining a doctorate of veterinary medicine, pet care is something I find highly valuable to my experience, which can be done in between classes, as well as on weekends when I have more free time. When caring for dogs and cats, I allow them to roam freely around the living areas of the house, constantly keeping an eye on them and giving them my undivided attention. There is nothing short of what I wouldn’t do for these animals.

“Leah has been absolutely amazing taking care of my dog Otis while I recover from surgery. She is easy to communicate with, shows up on time with a smile, and most importantly clearly truly cares about Otis being happy and getting the care he needs. I am incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful and caring person to help take care of my pet.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have two adorable dogs one of which has digestive issues so I have experience working around dietary and lifestyle challenges. I consider myself a dedicated and responsible pet sitter, whose primary concern is always the wellbeing of your furry family member. I understand it can be intimidating to put your beloved pet in the care of a new person but I promise to do my best to be accommodating and give your pet the same consideration and love I would give my own! I am a student at UCSD but I’m usually fairly flexible and free most weekends and evenings regularly. With advanced notice, I’m usually good for any pet sitting especially on weekends. I’m very comfortable around dogs and very adaptable to a client’s personal and situational needs. If there are any specific routines or procedures that you use in your home with your dog, I look forward to learning them! I’m especially familiar with crating as one of my dogs was heavily crate trained.

About: Hi! 😊 I'm a lifelong animal lover who's happiest when I'm spending time with pets. While reptiles and lizards are definitely my specialty (I have a bearded dragon named Beetlejuice), I grew up in a home full of cats and dogs and still help care for my family's pets whenever I can. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities—from Pit Bulls, Labrador and Retriever mixes, Chihuahuas, and Belgian Malinois to scruffy little mixed breeds—and I love getting to know what makes each pet unique. Whether your dog wants an adventure, your cat prefers quiet company, and everything in between, I'm happy to meet them where they are. Since I can't have furry pets where I currently live, I truly cherish every opportunity to spend time with cats and dogs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind through dependable care and regular updates. I'll treat your pets like family because that's exactly what they are. I also have experience caring for reptiles and other small or exotic pets and am happy to provide specialized care upon request! I am happy to adapt my schedule to meet the needs of your furry friends as I am able to. I most available before 10am and after 3pm on weekdays, and all day most weekends. Please give me some pet time! I know every pet has their own routine, and I'm committed to following your instructions closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. I'll keep your home secure, communicate consistently, and send plenty of updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Took time out of her life on Thanksgiving to ensure my senior dog was given her medication exactly on time. She was great with my dog, and left a detailed note + picture for her stay, which was much appreciated!”

“Our dog Latte absolutely luvs it when Ava's able to come by and spend time with him. Ava's prompt, communicative, great with dogs, and most importantly, cares for our own dog when we're not at home. She's awesome!!! Thanks again Ava!!!”

“Rose was excellent! She was friendly and communicative when checking in on our cats, and she went above and beyond by cleaning up a hairball and vacuuming up some litter. She gave great check-in notes and took some very funny pictures that we really appreciated. We could tell she really cared!”

Jonathan R.

“Awesomeness!!”

“Ella is so sweet and my boys seem to like her already. They are sometimes difficult cats so I appreciate her willingness to accept this task of being their cat sitter/friend.”
