6. Anna H.
About: I have decades of experience with all animals - dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc. - my own and caring for others. I’m an animal lover! Safety, fun and boundaries are my priority. I just moved back to San Diego, after 20 years in Northern CA, where I worked in early childhood education. I’m in school and enjoying getting to know this area again. My schedule is flexible for walks, visits, and overnights. I have a pet friendly condo in La Mesa, with one very sweet and dog-loving chihuahua (Osito), and one shy cat (BB). Osito has grown up with other dogs, cats, a rabbit, kids of all ages, even a turtle! My cat is chill and non-confrontational. I keep up on walks, feedings, playtime and down time!


7. Amanda O.

“I am so grateful to Amanda. I have a senior Velcro cat that I was nervous about leaving. I received detailed updates, cute photos, and full confidence my pet and home were in good hands.”


8. Tyra F.
“Tyra was an amazing dog sitter for my Trish. I could tell she genuinely loved being around her and gave her all the pets and cuddles she wanted!! Tyra was able to walk and exercise Trish, and Trish absolutely adored Tyra. I would definitely recommend Tyra for any dog sitting/walking needs you have.”


9. Adrian H.

“Adrian was amazing! On time and followed care instructions to a T. I’m nervous to trust anyone with my pets and I’m so happy I found Adrian. They also sent pictures to show how much fun they were having and it put me at ease to see them having a ball. I will be booking with Adrian again whenever I need a dog sitter! Thank you so much for your care of my fur baby and I can’t thank you enough!”


10. Sophia C.
“Sophia is a pet care giver at heart! She loves all pets and they love her! She herself has adopted a dog who adores her and she has trained well. Sophia is reliable and will give all your pets the love they need while you are away. She has watched our three dogs numerous times and they are always excited to see her, especially our one year old pup! You can depend on Sophia to give your pets the best of care as if they were her own!”


11. Victoria J.

“Victoria was great! Quick/easy to communicate, check ins were on time and as discussed, and she seemed to take great care of my cat while I was gone! I will use her in the future.”


12. Eleanor M.

“Eleanor is the best! I trust her wholeheartedly with my dog. I have a very energetic and stubborn Doberman but Eleanor's professionalism, love, and experience caring for and training dogs made her the perfect match. She always provides great updates, pictures and thorough feedback, and knows just how to handle my pups playfulness to make the most of every visit. Plus, it's so awesome she is experienced in obedience cues and training so I feel like my dog is being kept in-line and tuned in even when I'm not around. So grateful I can rely on Eleanor when I need good care for my girl - it means the world! She is the best and I recommend her to anyone looking for amazing attention, love and care for your dogs.”


13. Emily B.
“I’ve known Emily for years, and she’s always been amazing with animals. She’s taken care of my dog Luna multiple times and I can tell that they have a real connection and I’ve never had to worry. Emily has a lot of experience and it shows, because my dog loves her. She’s the first person I’d call if I needed a pet sitter or walker.”


14. Meenal P.
“Meenal is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter. We have used her service on several occasions, the last one for a period of three weeks. During that time, she kept the house neat and tidy and stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind. Above all, Meenal is trustworthy, and our dogs love her. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request. She also provides a discount for repetitive clients which is great.”


15. Anthony R.

“Anthony was fantastic. Punctual and caring, he treated my girls exceptionally. He went out of his way to address issues and read my dogs care instructions before visiting. I cannot recommend enough and will use again.”


16. María E.

17. kiyomi a.
“Kiki is truly amazing with pets! Whether it’s playing, feeding, or just spending time with them, she treats every pet like they’re part of her family. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive, Kiki is the perfect person to care for your furry (or even feathered!) friends :)”


18. Jasmine S.
“Jasmine was amazing! Super communicative and very attentive with my puppy. I received updates and photos the whole time. My puppy ended up having cherry eye during his stay and she was super helpful. Couldn't of asked for a better first time experience. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”

20. Tylia C.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life growing up. I currently have two dogs, English bulldog , Frenchie bulldog, both of them are my babies. I would treat every pup with care and love as if they were mine. I’m currently enrolled into school, taking a few classes at a time I have a part time job due to school, but in my free time mostly in the afternoon I would love to care for pets. I have three dogs that are free to roam inside and outside of my home safely and secured. My pets are very playful and energetic so I like to ensure the correct environment for pets that I care for.
