Pet Sitting La Jolla Village

“This is my first time having Sara watch my (diva) fur baby, Luna. Sara was great! She was able to step in, last minute, under non-ideal circumstances and she not only did a fantastic job (with lots of photo updates!) but Luna seemed to really like her. Luna is a nervous cat, and can sometimes be “aggressive” if she doesn’t know someone - but she was rubbing up against Sara’s leg like they’ve been best buddies for years! Will definitely keep her in the books!”

“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.”

“Chaminie was amazing…. I felt so relaxed knowing she was taking care of my boy, Chief, and will definitely be booking with her in the future.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have plenty of experience caring for them. I have fostered cats and dog/cat sat all throughout middle and high school. I also trained my dog when he was a puppy. Comfortable with whatever fun quirks your dog may have:) I work part time in La Jolla, so I have plenty of time. My shifts are typically around 4 hours, with the maximum being 6. If longer than 5 hours, I can pop over on my lunch break and check on your pets! I am more than willing to spend the night with your pets, and can manage any crating needed. That being said, if they are most comfortable in the bed, I don't mind cuddling!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always been a huge animal lover. I rescued both of my dogs while I was in college about 12 years ago. I have a 13-year-old German Shepherd mix, Shepp, who now has a variety of skin and mobility issues, so I’m very comfortable with senior dogs, giving medications, and providing a little extra patience and care when needed. I also have Luna, my 9-year-old mixed breed, who is still crazy, energetic, and keeps me on my toes! I’m very comfortable caring for and walking multiple dogs at once, so multi-pet households are no problem at all. Over the years I’ve learned plenty of tricks for giving medications, handling different personalities, and making dogs feel comfortable and safe. I’ve always loved all kinds of animals. I even had a bearded dragon, and growing up I wanted to be a zoologist. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m returning to school at San Diego Mesa College and have classes Monday through Thursday, with classes starting as early as 8 AM and ending as late as 3 PM. My schedule still gives me plenty of flexibility for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, especially in the early morning, afternoon, and evening, and on Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I always treat every pet like I would my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions you have. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including senior dogs who may need a little extra patience or assistance. I also live in a very dog-friendly community on the ground level with an enclosed patio, which gives dogs a safe and convenient outdoor space. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and get plenty of attention.

“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.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 13 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve always had pets in the house since I was a little girl and currently have a 3 year old pup of my own. We trained her from puppyhood, and I have learned even more about patience, communication, and unconditional love since adopting her. Over the years, I’ve provided everything from daily dog walks to full-week overnight care. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or extended pet sitting, I always treat each pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away because I know how important this is for all our pets. I’m currently working a full time job but have unique hours where the alternate days and have a half day Friday. I also get every weekend off. I can use my later work days, short Fridays, or weekends to help walk or check on your pets. When I help take care of pets in the home, I always make sure I know the specific details I need to make the pets feel comfortable with me and taken care of. I have helped care for very friendly and also very scared pets and have always found they warm up to me quickly. I remain calm and loving to all the furry friends I help watch.

About: I have a labradoodle that is 9 years old and I am very comfortable caring for and walking dogs. I love all animals, especially dogs! I am a nurse practitioner and have sufficient time in morning and throughout day to care for a dog. I live at home with my fiancé, we typically take our dog on two longer walks per day and let him out to bathroom mid day. I live in a in a secure townhouse in La Jolla, with some outdoor space as well. I have a friendly, 9 year old labradoodle that gets along well with other dogs. I typically take him out for walks 3 x a day.

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.

“Yue is THE BEST cat sitter I have ever worked with. Hands down. If she’s available, do not hesitate! 10/10! She took such great care of Momo while I was travelling internationally. I was worried at first as it’s my first time using a cat sitter, but I’m truly at a loss for words because everything went so well and beyond my expectations!! What I appreciate most about Yue is her responsiveness and communication. We had a few last minute bookings that she was able to accommodate on super short notice. And she responds so quickly and was helpful so that I felt confident coordinating the bookings through the App. She also has such a genuine disposition for cats too. When she met Momo the first time I instantly felt at ease that she would be watching him. 10/10 experience. Not a single thing that I would change or wish went differently with my experience! If you’re thinking of booking her or you’re like me and have never used Rover before, you’re in good hands. Thank you Yue!”

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.

About: I have grown up with pets in my family and have responsibly cared for dogs and rabbits. I am responsive and take commitments seriously. I think I would be an excellent pet sitter. I currently work part time at UTC, and attend UCSD as a full time student. I am available in the mornings/evenings as well as weekends. I am very flexible. I will be very respectful of the clients house should I find myself staying there with the dog. I am unable to house since I reside in an on campus apartment.

“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: I enjoy helping out dogs in my neighborhood, whether it's just a walk or an over night stay! I have had great experiences with all different kinds of dog! I recently moved out here after getting married and am currently in between jobs. I love dogs and getting outside! I live a very active lifestyle and I’m excited to get your dogs moving too! I respect how all dogs are trained and am happy to meet with you all before a scheduling to ensure the routine is set! I like to make sure I understand the routine for the pup!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 6 years, my own dog, my brother’s 2 dogs, chicken and cats. I trained my dog from just YouTube and he is perfect. I’ve started to watch my neighbors dogs this summer, going for long walk and regular care. I’m currently on summer break so I have too much free time. I spend my days at the mall or at my brothers house volunteering to watch his dogs, even when it’s just for an hour. I have a fenced area and I’m very strong and fast so I can catch any dog if somehow the leash magically disappears. At home the door stays locked.

“This was our first time working with Mari and she was absolutely fantastic. Came for a meet and greet ahead of time to meet our cat which was great for making sure we were all set. Great communication throughout, sending lovely updates and photos. We could tell that our kitty was in great hands and that Mari gave her lots attention and good care. We won't hesitate to work with Mari again in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Claire and I’m a grad student at UCSD. I have about 4 years of experiences taking care of cats and dogs, and I’m also an active volunteer at San Diego Humane Society. I truly enjoy being around dogs and cats and will take care of them like my own. And I will follow the instructions and make sure keep the communications clear throughout during the service!! Thank you for choosing and trusting me! My office is pet-friendly and close to the ocean where I can bring your furry friend to and take them out for a walk by the ocean on weekdays! I also have the options to WFH to provide companies with your pet:) Over the weekend, I like to go for a hike/run where I can bring them for some outdoor activities as well! I live with a roommate who also loves pets (she’s only around on some of the weekdays) in a 2b2b apartment. Most of time I only sit one dog at a time to ensure the most comfortable experience and space for them.
