“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.”

“Janet did an amazing job taking care of my cat Theo! She is everything you would want in a cat sitter: responsible, communicative, and experienced. Even though my cat can be a little unpredictable, Janet handled everything like a pro and I never once worried about my cat when I was gone. Thanks Janet!”

“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!”

“Can’t recommend Nick enough! We had to fly out of state very urgently, and Nick was a lifesaver- responded very quickly and made sure our cats would be well taken care of! 10/10 would book again”

“Mari took great care of our cat during the holidays! She is very attentive and responsive and kept us up to date with notes and pics. Oli seemed to be very comfortable around Mari and enjoying his time :) Would book her again!”

“Melissa does drop in visits with my brand new puppy while I’m at work. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing the pups are in great hands. I highly recommend!”

“Audrey was so good with our two cats! We had to book very last-minute and Audrey was very responsive and communicative. We did a meet and greet to show the cats' routines (including Piper's daily medication needs) and Audrey met all of their needs and quirks and play-styles. We got adorable photos every day and a text recap. Overall we are very thankful for Audrey's expert care with our cats and willingness to help us last-minute. I'm sure our angels will miss her even after just a few days”

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.
“Yue went up and beyond taking good care of my cat. She was very easy to communicate with, responsive and kind. I will definitely book her to take care of my cat next time.”

“Celine was so great with our dog Charlie! She was very communicative and friendly! Our dog loved her. We felt comfortable leaving Charlie at home knowing Celine would be checking on him for a drop in visit. We would love to use her services again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. We had a family dog growing up who recently passed away :/ So trying to get my dog fix in. I’ve done other dog walking services in the past. I’m friendly, responsible, and reliable I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I’m around for last minute drop off requests when ever needed. I can go for walks during the day whenever is needed for the dog as well I live in a 1 bedroom apartment so the pup will have plenty of space to play. I don’t have any other pets. I don’t smoke
“Jenny was very quick to respond and very communicative. I had to make a booking very last minute and she was super flexible and willing to squeeze in time for a meet and greet. Very nice and sweet and patient with my cat Venus. Overall wonderful, would highly recommend and would book again.”

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 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.
“Lud was fabulous with my cat Neo. She came over first to get to know him which I thought was great and did not happen with my last sitter. This was over the holidays and we had just had a ton of snow. In addition to carrying for Neo she handled some snowmelt flooding in the basement and made sure Neo steered clear of it. I also got tons of fun pictures! Will definitely use Lud again!”

My elderly kitty was very contented when I got home and obviously enjoyed his visits with Tina. she was great about medicating him, and following up on all his picky habits. She was On time with her updates and sent me fun pictures to show what he was up to. I highly recommend Tina And look forward to her assistance in the future.
Audrey was great with our cats once again!! Applied topical meds to our lady's ears with no issue at all. The cats got plenty of plays and photo opportunities. Audrey is always super communicative and gives thorough recaps every day. We look forward to seeing the Audrey Notes when we are out of town!!

Again Aayushi was nothing but the best! Aayushi is always my #1 choice when it comes to picking a dog sitter! She gives me peace of mind when leaving Lola with her and I never have to worry about being away. If you have a dog with any kind of needs Aayushi is great at accommodating to them!

Ariana truly went above and beyond taking care of our pup! Our dog Kermit has severe anxiety, it is not often he will go up to a stranger in our neighborhood without barking. During our meet and greet, he immediately went up to her, I knew she would be a great fit then! I got plenty of updates during her drop in visit and great pictures. Her updates were super detailed and I felt comfortable leaving my anxious dog in great hands. She went above and beyond to help clean up the stuffing from his toys and treated my home with great care. Ariana was also extremely punctual and quick to respond. I could not recommend her more!
