“Ra-Chel was phenomenal. She went out of her way to meet with me the night before her visit to meet Oliver and help alleviate some of my anxiety. She took time to play and and out with Oliver and made sure he was fed and happy before putting him in his bed.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs for most of my life. I currently have a cat and a dog of my own, and I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive to care for your pets. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have fostered a dog and successfully helped her find a loving forever home. I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, administering medications, and providing plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets, I treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and comfort to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’m committed to providing reliable and compassionate care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work as a teacher, so I would be mainly available after 4:00pm on the weekends. During the weekend, summer, spring break, and winter break, I am available anytime. I live in a house. The backyard is fenced, there are food and water bowls, litter boxes, dog/cat beds. I have 1 dog that is the sweetest and loves to play. I have 3 cats that would not bother the dog. If the need medication, I of course give them their needed medicine. I talk my dogs to the beach, for a walk around the neighborhood, and they love car rides! They love toys!
About: My name is Tara, and I am a nurse by day. I have two cats that are my children, and am always looking to love on other fur babies. I am available to walk dogs, do drop in visits, house-sit animals in a client's home, and administer medications. I can clean after pets and care for puppies and kittens as well. I have previously volunteered at animal shelters and worked with many different animals. Other than pet care, I love being outdoors and staying active in nature. I absolutely love to travel in my spare time. I am also available for farm animal care as well- although I don't have any experience in this I would really love to learn. Thank you for reading! I am taking a break from nursing for a couple months and my schedule is pretty flexible/open! I am happy to provide care during this time of transition. I am reliable, friendly, and safe in my interactions with pets. Regardless of the temperament of the animal, I can read animals body language well and know how to make them feel safe.
“Jayna was fantastic with our 10-month-old boy! She’s wonderful with him. She was professional, communicative, followed our instructions carefully, and even went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable while we were away. Jayna is truly part of the family now, and our pup loves seeing her. Thank you for everything, Jayna — you’re the best!”
“Karmelita was amazing! Zippo can be kind of skittish with sitters, but had no problem coming out for her. Our cat needs medication regularly twice a day and Karmelita had no problem giving him the medication or with the schedule. And even stayed to play with him for a bit! She was an amazing communicator and took lots of photos. I highly recommend Karmelita and hope she is available next time we need someone to watch our cat!”

“Adrian always does a great job looking after my cat while I'm away. She is very reliable and Lila Bear loves her. I would highly recommend Adrian to anyone looking for a cat sitter”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats around the neighborhood for years. When our neighbors go on trips, they leave their pets in my care. In the past, I've gone to the beach, taken long walks, and helped with basic training. I am excited to meet all my new furry friends 😁💖 I am free any time, any day! 😁 I are happy to take care of your pet at any time. Your pet will be the center of my attention. I live in a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around. My home is quiet, and there's always someone around to be with your pet. I live in a safe, secure home, with lots of inside space to chill out.
“Took great care of my cat for the 2 weeks I was gone. Kept in touch each drop in and was super easy to communicate with. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“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!”
“Tally was wonderful with my last-minute request to look in on my dog and take her for a walk when I needed to be away for most of the day and night. She took good care of my dog and took care to secure the house. I happily recommend Tally as a reliable pet care professional and I will use her services in the future if she is available.”
“Tara is amazing! Taking care of our sweet bubs while we went out of town for the weekend. Tara kept us updated with playtimes, and potty times as well as sending the cutest photos. On top of all that our sweet boy took an instant liking to Tara and we couldn’t be happier. A great communicator and very professional- we are definitely going to have Tara as our #1 to watch our pup from now on!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and my love for animals has only grown since. I’ve cared for many friends’ pets over the years, and treat every animal like my own. You can trust your fur baby will get all the love and attention they deserve. Being home for the summer means I have a flexible, open schedule built around giving pets the time and attention they truly deserve. I’m always around for feeding, playtime, and cuddles, no busy schedule getting in the way. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your routine and preferences exactly so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free. I keep up with feeding schedules, playtime, and any special needs, and I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own home.
About: I have been a cat owner and dog owner for the majority of my life. I have extra time now as I have just retired and would love to help you care for your pet when you are unavailable. I have a few enjoyable activities that I do each day, and would love to add caring for your SINGLE pet to my daily routine. The pets that I have had in the past have been part of my family, and I take the utmost care to make sure they are safe and comfortable and loved.
“We booked drop ins and doggy day care with Taylor multiple times before and we are always happy with her! She follows instructions, provides great pictures, and is on time. She takes great care of our pets. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Ken 👋 I bring years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all temperaments, from playful pups to anxious and senior dogs who need a little extra patience. I’m a PAWS of Coronado Volunteer Behavior Training Level 1 graduate, and I’ve spent years volunteering in shelter environments where safety, calm handling, and compassion truly matter. I’ve also worked alongside canine police officers in training scenarios, giving me a strong foundation in reading dog behavior, maintaining control, and building trust through calm, consistent energy. Dogs tend to respond quickly to me — and both dogs and kids seem to sense that steady, grounded disposition. Every walk is about more than exercise. It’s about trust, structure, and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and every client with the respect and reliability I’d expect for my own family. I maintain a structured weekly schedule so I can be dependable and fully present for each pet: • Mondays: Early mornings available (6:00–9:00 AM) Afternoon & evening available (2:30–10:00 PM) • Tuesdays: Available after 3:00 PM • Wednesdays: Available after 10:00 AM • Thursdays: Open availability • Fridays: Available after 4:00 PM • Weekends: Flexible availability I only accept bookings I can fully commit to, ensuring every walk or visit is calm, safe, and unhurried. How I Care for Pets Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or during walks and drop-in visits, my approach is centered on safety, structure, and trust. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, temperament, and any training cues or boundaries already in place. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and keep things consistent, because dogs thrive on routine and calm leadership. I’m trained in reading body language and stress signals, which helps me adjust in real time and keep pets comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, organized, and low-impact. I leave the space as I found it and provide updates so owners feel informed and at ease. During walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, situational awareness, and positive reinforcement. I don’t rush walks — I allow time for exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation. Above all, I treat every pet as an individual. Some dogs want adventure, others need reassurance. My goal is always the same: a calm, safe, and positive experience for both the pet and their owner.
About: I have a calm home environment where pets feel safe and relaxed. I take care of both dogs and cats — walks, playtime, feeding, and regular photo updates. I’m gentle, attentive, and truly love animals. I create a peaceful and caring atmosphere so your pet feels comfortable, loved, and at home while you’re away. I have a flexible daily routine and spend most of my time at home, so I can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and calm company. I take regular walks and can easily adjust feeding or potty schedules to fit your pet’s needs. Weekdays and weekends available — just send me a message and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I provide a safe, calm, and clean home environment. I always follow each pet’s routine and preferences, keep doors secure, and supervise pets closely. I offer gentle care, regular updates, and communication so you feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. Your pet will be cared for with the same attention and responsibility as my own family.

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.
Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️
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!
Ariana was wonderful in caring for our kitties (and small flock of chickens too). She played with them, cuddled with them and took care to check food/water supply too. We appreciated her communication and photo updates and are excited to use her again for pet care!
Sabrina goes above and beyond. She is great with our two feral cats, always being careful not to spook them by being loud. We are so pleased that they come out to visit while she is here (something they never do with strangers). She gives us peace of mind while we are gone!
