About: 🐾 Trusted, Experienced Pet Care in San Diego 🐾 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover, dog owner, and experienced pet caregiver serving San Diego. I share my home with one friendly adult dog and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets for friends, neighbors, and family.

About: As corny as this may be, I cannot imagine life without pets. Growing up I have always had dogs and cats. Recently I’ve rescued and fostered four kittens. And now have two of my own. Making sure my dog or cat is comfortable and given enough attention/care is incredibly important to me. Walking/exercising with them, playing with them, feeding them at a consistent time, and providing them with the best place to sleep are responsibilities I take very seriously. Animals mean the world to me. I am organized, athletic, on-time, energetic and thoughtful in all areas of my life including dog/cat/pet ownership. I recently fostered 4 kittens from a dangerous area where I de-wormed them (twice), vaccinated them, and got them to a healthy weight and to happy homes. I have been exposed to different breeds with my friends, family, and peers; therefore I possess the experience and comfort to care for most/all breeds. Some include German Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Huskies, Goldendoodles, Poodles, and for cats breeds like Russian Blue, Maine Coones, Siberian and more. I am confident my demeanor and level-headed approach prepares me for most of canine behavior. I frequently cat-sit and dog sit for family and friends and I am confident I will keep your pet safe and happy. Lastly, what sets me apart is my commitment to this service. I'm here to provide the same support for you as I would want for my own pets. It’s hard to trust anyone with your pet. They’re like your children. They are family. I can guarantee exceptional pet service. I currently work remotely in the La Mesa area and have flexibility. I’m currently working remotely with many of my calls in early AM so I have time during the day, late afternoon and evenings to walk, dog-sit, and or provide care. I care for my clients’ dogs with great attention and fostering. I work to understand what the pet is used to, what their habits/tendencies are, expectations, and ways to simply have fun. I am very communicative and committed to learning about my client’s lifestyle with their pet(s).
“Hannah was great to work with. The cats enjoyed her from what I was able to observe in the check in photos. She was dependable and went above and beyond to take care of the cats including making an extra trip on short notice.”
“I have three very picky kitty cats. I set up a meet and greet with Sara knowing full well that all three of the cats would scatter and she might not see them at all that day. Boy was I wrong instead of running two of them came to the door to greet her. The third cat didn't run away and even let Sara come pet her! I think it is safe to say that Sara does have some magic or charm that my kitty cats fell in love with. I felt secure and safe having her taking care of my cats, going above and beyond even. I felt at ease giving her the key to our house knowing everything would be okay. I also love using Rover because that is an extra measure of protection for my home and pets. Thank you Sara and Rover!”

Karmelita was a true godsend for our two cats. It was great having someone check on the two boys and ensuring they were okay. She provided great photos of them and gave them much needed play. Overall I feel my cats did well under her care, vs the unattended check in my neighbors previously did. I will definitely consider booking Karmelita in the future.
Sasha was amazing! Could not have asked for a better sitter for my cat. She made sure my cat was comfortable and would even take the time to track her down in all het favorite hiding spots. She sent a lot of photos which is so reassuring for a cat mom who wants to make sure her baby is okay! By the second visit she earned my shy cat’s trust enough to give her pets, treats, and play a bit too! You can tell she genuinely cares and loves animals. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future!!
I had a good experience overall with Paige. She stayed for the full hour as requested, cleaned the litter boxes, sent lots of pictures and updates, cuddled with the cats, and left the apartment tidy afterward. It was clear she cared about making the cats comfortable while I was away.
Mackenzie was amazing! She took care of our cat like he was her own. My cat loved her. She was very communicative and sent pictures with every visit. We’re very impressed, and will definitely be using her services again in the future. Can’t recommend her enough
Kelsey was incredible! She was so kind and communicative with me about my kitties and any issues that arose (for example, my automatic litterbox got stuck and needed to be manually reset). I can tell she truly has a deep love and respect for all animals. One of my cats is very shy usually but by day 2 he was coming out to see her for treats and toys during their drop in! I came home to happy and healthy animals and Kelsey was even kind enough to bring my Amazon packages inside. This was a great experience and I’ll be using her in the future again for sure!
