About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and that passion has only grown over the years. As a proud dog mom for more than 15 years, caring for furbabies brings me so much joy—it's truly my dopamine! Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or providing a safe and loving environment, I treat every pet like family and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care isn't just something I fit into my daily schedule, it's a part of my lifestyle and something that truly brings me joy 🐾 As a devoted dog mom with over 15 years of experience, my days and nights naturally revolve around caring for my furbabies, providing love, attention, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Welcoming your precious pup for a petcation fits perfectly into my routine because caring for animals is already second nature to me. I enjoy making every furbaby feel safe, comfortable, loved, and part of the family. Whether it's walks, playtime, relaxation, or extra TLC, I'll make sure your baby enjoys a little vacation of their own while you're away. Your baby won't just be a guest, they will be part of our family🐶💕 My home is central air-conditioned and heating. My backyard is fully fenced in. I work from home and have plenty of space for them to roam around, play and get comfy.Crates in our home are used as luxuries if they wanna nap or have personal space . They are also used for feeding time if they are a food protector. I enjoy giving them individual attention. Every pet requires different things and I like to learn them to cater to their needs.

“Thank you for taking such good care of Frankie during her drop in visits! This was our 1st Rover experience, Paige was great; she sent pics and daily updates.”

About: I’m passionate about making sure every dog and cat gets the care they need. I’ve cared for my own pets for 14 years, including my senior dog through his cancer diagnosis. I’ve worked with professional trainers to learn how to handle my dogs, and I enjoy basic training and manners at home. On walks, I adjust to each dog: loose leash walking, extra distance and treats for reactive dogs, and plenty of sniff breaks and enrichment for high-energy dogs. I use whatever harness or collar the owner prefers. I offer drop-ins, dog walking, house sitting, daycare, and cat care. I’ve raised working breeds, including a border collie and a husky, and now have a pit bull/Dutch shepherd mix, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs. I’m home most days, so I can fit in drop-ins, walks, and play sessions when clients need them. Pets get regular company and attention during the day during daycare. Pets are welcome inside my home, with plenty of places to sleep, including couches and dog beds. My home has a fenced yard and gated-off areas both indoors and outdoors. I introduce pets under supervision, especially around toys and food, and separate them at any sign of concerning body language.

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.

Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or a calm, steady presence, I provide dependable care and regular updates for your peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

I’m happy to crate your pets and even accept puppies.

“Thank you for stopping by and taking care of scarlett while we were away. Ana was very responsive and prompt. She took great care of our cat while we were away for the week!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes working with Border Collies and Great Pyrenees in a ranch setting, where they herded and guarded sheep, as well as providing professional care at a busy dog daycare. I also have extensive experience caring for large-breed family dogs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I believe every pet deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. My goal is to make every walk or visit a positive experience so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. Thanks for stopping by my profile! I work part-time caring for dogs professionally, so spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy every day. I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. I may also be available on my workdays depending on my schedule. I appreciate at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my day and give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether your companion is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each animal’s unique personality, communication style, and routines so they feel comfortable and understood. Every dog is different, so my first priority is building trust. When we first meet, I give each dog the time and space they need while I observe their personality, body language, and comfort level. From there, I adjust my approach to match what helps them feel safe and confident. I believe in treating every dog with kindness, respect, and clear boundaries. I use positive reinforcement—including praise, encouragement, and treats when appropriate—to reinforce good behavior. Rather than relying on punishment, I focus on redirecting unwanted behaviors and setting dogs up for success in a calm, consistent way. Whether we’re playing at home or out on a walk, safety always comes first. I enjoy interactive play while maintaining a safe environment, and I tailor each walk to the individual dog. Some dogs are happiest walking calmly at my side, while others enjoy taking the lead, and I’m happy to adapt to what is safest and most comfortable for them. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel secure, understood, and genuinely excited to spend time with me. When I enter a dog’s home, I remember that I’m stepping into their familiar space. My first priority is helping them feel safe and comfortable with my presence. I allow each dog to approach at their own pace, paying close attention to their body language and personality so I can build trust before asking anything of them. Once a dog is comfortable, I love engaging them through safe, interactive play that matches their energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to provide both physical exercise and positive companionship while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries. I strive to leave every dog feeling secure, respected, and excited to see me again. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying our time together. I don’t expect dogs to adapt to me—I adapt to the dog while providing clear, consistent boundaries.

“Bobbie is exceptional! She was able to comfort my two very shy cats while we were away. They get depressed and anxious whenever we take a trip. Bobbie sent photos and videos through out her visit. I would definitely recommend her!”

Please take a moment to review my bio and if you think I would be a good fit I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂 _____ About Me _____ I am a certified and insured dog trainer specialized in the area of applied canine ethology (dog socialization, and body language). _____ Experience, Education & Philosophy _____ I've done a lot of work in kennels, shelters and with rescue organizations, rehabilitating dogs with behavioral issues. I have a BSc in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, a certification in Canine Agonistic Behavior from Cambridge University's Ethology Institute, and I'm also a trainer in good standing with the Pet Professionals Guild. I'm a Fear Free practitioner, a positive (R+) trainer, and I adhere to ethical standards for modern, humane, science-based training. I treat every dog like my own, and the way I would hope to be treated if I was in their position: with endless patience, kindness, and sensitivity.

Good manners are encouraged through the day with numerous opportunities to earn rewards, and I keep an anxiety-soothing routine with healthy periods of play, rest, mental stimulation, and physical exercise. Shy dogs get all the space they need and can initiate interaction on their terms, clingy dogs get lots of love and attention, and energetic dogs get engaged with lots of games and physical exertion!

About: Ever since I was little I dreamed of owning a doggy hotel. But growing up I realized most doggy hotels are caged or crated the majority of their stays. I would never like my own dog to be caged in all day and only allowed a certain amount of outdoor time, so I started pet sitting at home! I have cared for my friends dogs for over a decade now. I enjoy experiencing different breeds and truly understand them. I have a deep tub for them to splash around in on hot days and a twin mattress in the garage for them to snuggle up in at night! Not a luxurious hotel I dream about but we will get there soon! Pet care is easy for me! I wake up and they are my first priority. I watch them all eat during feeding time and make sure no one is bullied out of their food. And separate those that need to be fed alone. I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and companionship to your pets throughout the day. Because I’m home while working, I’m able to maintain your pet’s routine, provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and lots of love and attention. My flexible work-from-home schedule also makes me a great option for house sitting, as your pets won’t have to spend long periods of time alone. I can be there to keep them company and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. At My Home Your pet’s comfort, safety, and activity level are always important to me. Pets in my care have opportunities to spend time in both the backyard and garage, where I spend much of my time with them. This can be a great fit for dogs who enjoy being active or need extra outdoor time throughout the day. Most guests have access to the backyard and garage while supervised, depending on their individual needs and temperament. At night, dogs typically sleep in the room with me so they have companionship and aren't left alone. Crate accommodations are also available for pets who are crate-trained or whose owners prefer that option. To help prevent food-related conflicts, dogs are separated during feeding times when necessary, allowing everyone to eat comfortably and safely. In Your Home When caring for your pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while giving them as much companionship and attention as they need. I enjoy keeping pets active through walks, playtime, and other physical activities appropriate for their age, energy level, and abilities. My safety Your pet's safety and well-being are always my priority. My partner may occasionally check in on me and can be available to assist if needed, helping ensure I have additional support while caring for your pets.

About: Ive been dog sitting since I was very young. Animals are very good at sensing energy so its important to have a friendly and gentle first interaction. Old dogs and puppies have all stolen my heart and I will treat them as if they were my own. I have experience with both trained and untrained dogs. I have open availability every week. If constant attention is necessary, I dont mind sitting and doing my college homework with animals. I would love to give them as much attention as you wish you could yourself. Following written instructions is key. No feeding outside of written rules. No substance use around them. Keep the environment tidy, safe, and clean. Be gentle, friendly, and respectful. It’s important to gain trust with unknown animals. Be stern and adamant when necessary to establish who’s in charge. Most importantly, give them love and affection as much as possible.
