Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in La Jolla Village, San Diego

“Tina is a great sitter who kept my two cats happy over the course of a week. She left a detailed report along with 8+ pictures / videos upon every visit. She was able to follow instructions really well in regards to secure entry / exit, house key management, and of course care regarding my cats, litter boxes, food, play, etc. Definitely would book again and recommend being thorough with all directions as she will follow them as you say!”

“Jim has been helping us with our puppy. He is reliable, prompt and our puppy loves him. Thank you, Jim for taking such great care of Penny.”

“I met with Min shortly before I was going to be going out of town; she was very polite, and asked great questions to ensure the best care of my kitties, Chloe and Luna. It was clear that she thoroughly understands cats! On the days of her visits, she arrived on time or early, and stayed even longer than asked, playing with my little fur babies. It's no wonder they warmed up to her so quickly! Min fed Chloe and Luna an appropriate amount of wet food, administered dental treats, and scooped their litter box as requested. Afterwards, she summarized her visits with very nicely written Rover Card messages, and shared great photos and videos she took of the cats. I was thoroughly impressed with Min, and would recommend her to anyone in the San Diego area who is seeking a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been looking after pets, including my own, since I was 8 years old. From adapting to their personal needs, to doing the dirty work, im here to take care of it all :) from puppy care to doggy hospice, I’ve dealt with it all I am a full time student having a flexible schedule for all accommodations. Having a break between lectures ensures that I will always have time during the day to accompany my furry friends :)) I am open to any and all housing accommodations, but more open to pet sitting in a more comfortable environment for our furry friends, whether that be in my home or in yours :)

About: I fostered cats for the San Diego Humane Society before getting a kitten of my own 5 months ago. My experience fostering as well as with my own kitty makes me pretty cat savvy and I love meeting new cats and working to gain their trust. I have a lot of time before classes and on weekends during which I’d love to watch your pet! I understand being away from your cat can be very stressful (I spend most vacations watching my cat through the cat camera) so my top priority will always be your cat’s wellbeing and happiness. I can pick up on cat body language pretty well which helps in reading a cat and responding appropriately. I’ve worked with shy/fearful cats as well and the most important thing I’ve learnt is just to give the cat space but exist in the same space as them so they can see that I’m not a threat.

“Kaitlyn was amazing! She was so great at communicating with us while we were gone about how our kitty was doing ☺️ she was very reliable and put our minds at ease that our girl was being well looked after.”

“Bryce is phenomenal! She treated Minnie (my kitty) like a family member, making sure I was always in the loop and sharing photos of them playing and snuggling. It made being away so much better!”

“Kyle went above and beyond!!! I truly could not be more thankful for all his flexibility and help. He is not only an excellent communicator but genuinely cares about the well-being of your animals and alleviates any anxiety that comes with leaving your pet alone? As a nervous cat mom myself, he made me feel confident and comfortable that my cat and home were properly taken care of. Kyle is a very trustworthy, responsible animal lover that I will definitely be reaching out to in the future for help!”

“Melisa LOVES dogs!!! All dogs including yours! She will take excellent care of your fur baby and follow your instructions to the "T". Michele E.”

About: More Than A Decade of Loving Experience! With every stay, no matter how long or how many pets, I'll send photos with updates from your kitten having a lazy Sunday to your dog showing off a trick he's learned! My family and I have been raising and training dogs for as long as I’ve been able to walk. I care for every animal like my own family since that’s how I’ve been raised, and look forward to do the same with your wonderful fur baby! I’m a part time student, which allows me to have a virtually flexible schedule to focus on caring for your pets! I always offer free meet and greets to get to know you and your pets routine and expectations for care, and so far 99% of meet and greets end in booking with me :^). For every meet and greet I've got a list of questions and a checklist of the essentials that any responsible caretaker should know about your furry family member. I should also mention I take requests that are a bit out of the ordinary, requests like -picking up/dropping off pet from vet or grooming appointments - pet wedding wrangler (yes it's a real thing and yes me and the pup will both follow the dress code) -flight nannying -video calling with a pet and you - pet photography -plant care & caring for animals outside of cats/dogs The list could go on. Basically if you ask within reason, I could most likely be available to help!

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for friends for years and 2 years ago foster failed my (at the time) 6lb, 6wk old pit mix foster baby. Since then, I’ve gained experience with taking care of puppies and big dogs. I currently work 100% from home and live on the first floor of my apartment building, allowing me to quickly take out dogs for the bathroom and go on walks. I have a 2 year old dog who is full of energy and absolutely loves other dogs. I have extra dog beds available and am ready to love on any furry visitors!

“Alice is such a great caregiver. She used to be a dog trainer and loves animals. I felt safe with her watching my dog and enjoyed my worry free vacation.”

“Shannon is amazing with animals. She has been so loving and caring with our dog. She loves taking her for walks and playing with her. Our dog loves to play fetch so Shannon has been great throwing the ball with her. She is responsible and trustworthy. Shannon is the best and I highly recommend her…your dog will thank you!”

“Georgina took excellent care of my 2 year old Golden retriever, Rex. He is a large energetic dog but Georgina was still able to take really good care of him. She sent lots of pictures and videos and was very quick to respond to my texts. She also made sure Rex had a good walk around the neighborhood and played lots of fetch with him. I was very satisfied and will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I live right next to Noble Park - a beautiful location for walks and runs for puppies/doggies of all sizes! I also love to drive to nearby parks/trials to explore more nature - so if your furry friend is comfortable in a car, they can definitely travel around town with me. I have had 5 dogs, 2 back at home with my family. I am super familiar with doggy care and am a quick and careful learner if your pet needs extra attention. I also am super fond of giving treats, so if there are no dietary restrictions I would be willing to share my fruits, veggies, and freshly baked sweet potato, peanut butter treats. :) I recently graduated and am taking some time to relax so I have lots of time to give love to pets! I’m available throughout the week and flexible on the weekends. I have a balcony that is open for curiosity. I have a very sweet girl so your pet will have a furry friend to make memories with! She’s very friendly and a playful doggy. I am also open to any accommodations your baby needs.

“Shikha did such a good job with Flo! I can tell that she was well taken care of on her drop in visits! Shikha was very flexible too when I needed someone in a pinch this weekend! She made sure Flo ate and went potty and had playtime!”

“Nick took good care of my cat. He made sure that your pet meet all its needs. If you tend to find a sitter that is responsible and reliable, you may reach out to Nick!”

About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. Some times I take them to the dog beach and for hiking. I am available for drop in visits and dog walks the whole week with possibility of adapting to the schedule that works better for you. I can take care of your dog at your place for a few hours. If you want some furry company for your dog, my dog is very friendly and he will keep your dog company all the time.

“Azalea is such a sweet and friendly human that loves dogs and quickly befriends all animals. She is responsible, dependable and clearly takes instructions to care for dogs with patience. Her day is always brighter when she can be immersed in positive vibes and oh so cute huggable doggies. :-D”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for many years. My family has had multiple cats and also a German Shepherd for 10 years, so I am very experienced in pet care! I work 8am-4:30pm, but I can fit in dog walks over my lunch break, weeknights, and weekends. I am also available for overnight stays at client houses for convenience. I take my family dog for walks using a leash, and always make sure to know exactly where he is. It’s important to always be attentive to what he is doing!
