“Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!”
“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
“Tara did so good with Tam. He absolutely adores her. I appreciate her for walking my dog in the evenings and she was super affectionate with him. Will rebook with her again !”
“Justine was amazing ? my dogs loved her and she sent me plenty of updates, pictures and videos and that was so thoughtful of her because I was nervous since this was my first time using this service. I came home to a Clean house and that felt amazing because I was exhausted. Will definitely be booking her again for my next work trip!”
“Maureen did an amazing job. She bonded beautifully with my dog. She also frequently sent me detailed messages and photos about her activities with my dog, as well as the dog's bowel and bladder functions, and eating. Overall she did an outstanding job.”
“Bobbie S is an amazing dog sitter. She took such good care of our dogs and followed our instructions to the letter. Our dogs were in such a relaxed and happy mood when we returned just as if we had been there ourselves. 6/5 stars.”
“Olivia is a great communicator and regularly updated me with photos and texts. I felt very confident that my dogs and cats were well cared for and would absolutely recommend Olivia to take care of your fur kids.”
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. I also bring extensive equestrian experience, giving me confidence with animals of all sizes and temperaments. As a retired law enforcement professional, I value safety, reliability, and clear communication. You can feel confident your pets and home are in responsible, attentive hands. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and flexible care tailored to your pet’s routine. 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 have recently retired from the law enforcement profession so I have plenty of availability and flexibility to work with your individual pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard and one resident adult dog who plays well with others. I believe our pets are part of the family so they will spend most of their time indoors with me and my pup. I’m happy to crate your pets and even accept puppies.
“Our flight got cancelled and Maria came to the rescue! One of our two dogs is very nervous and it is always scary for us to have someone walking into the home without us there. But because they know and love Maria, we knew that our dogs were in good hands when she stayed with them for a few hours when our trip home was delayed. How they react to her is a good indication of the care that she gives them.”
“Ana was amazing she took banana on lots of walkies and was very good giving her all the love while we were gone on our trip I would definitely book again and recommend you do so if your going out of town.”
“Anna was a great help to all of us when she cared for our pups… CC & Gus. She was good with both dogs, kept them happy and safe plus well fed. She seemed to enjoy her time with them and sent pictures. She stayed with them while we were gone a couple of days which made it possible for us to enjoy our time since we knew the dogs were well taken care of. Thanks Anna!”
“William house sat and stayed with my husky for 4 days. Everything went smoothly, he's a great communicator, and my dog was well taken care of. I would welcome him back again. Thanks!”
“Victoria watched my sweet, anxious doggo for a quick weekend and was very wonderful! She took great care of her and gave my pup the time to warm up and met her where she was at. Definitely would use Victoria again and recommend her to anyone needing some great care/love of their pet!”
“Brenda is amazing. She took care of our cat and dog as if they were her own! They looked like they had so much fun with her. She really went above and beyond! She sent us a lot of updates and was very communicative.”
About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs and cats of all sizes in the past. I love walking dogs around your neighborhood and local dog parks! I have a flexible schedule that will fit your needs and is highly flexible. I accept last minute requests and will be very responsive. I am a great communicator and have a passion for caring animals. I look forward meeting your furry companions. My place is extremely pet friendly and has a large yard where you pets can lie and get plenty of sun or if they prefer to be indoors I keep the A/C going for maximum comfort. They will always have access to food and water along with plenty of walks or runs as desired.
“Tally was great with my chocolate lab who has separation anxiety. She was attentive and gave him lots of love and hugs. My house was immaculate when I came home after a 4 day trip. Highly recommend Tally!”
About: In total I’ve had 5 dogs in my lifetime, dating far back to when I was a baby! Dogs of many sizes and kinds of dogs from small to big, a labrador rottweiler mix, bichon frise and the rest being rat terriers. So from about the time I was born until I was 13 (I am now 20), I owned 5 dogs :). I loved being able to walk my dogs, taking them to parks, just being in their company really. I look after my friends’ dogs on occasion as well as my relative’s when they’re busy and decided that I would love to make it into a career. I don’t have a job, and I’m a student at Southwestern, I was full time last semester but the semester ended just last week. I will be fully free for the next two weeks with the exception of Friday’s from 6pm-11pm (can be negotiated if need be!). I’m open every week day and every day of weekend, willing to work anywhere from 8am until about 5pm. I will be taking one class in the summer, ballet (dance), that begins June 15th, ends August 8th and runs Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:25am to 11:25 AM for all three days. I would not be allowed to host any pet in my house as we have two babies in the house and we’re not fully aware of their allergies yet, however, it would be best for me to do drop ins or house sitting sessions for that reason. I think doing a meet and greet beforehand would be amazing so that we could have a chance to meet each other first and maybe introduce me to your pet to see if I could be a good match to sit for them instead of blindly throwing me with them!

Katherine provides outstanding care for our dog, Bailey, who gets so excited the moment she walks through the door. Beyond her excellent pet care, is a fantastic communicator. We receive updates, notes, and photos daily, which makes being away so much easier. Most importantly, I have complete peace of mind knowing she is in our home; she is incredibly reliable, professional, and treats our home with the utmost respect. She is easily the best dog sitter we have ever worked with, and we feel so lucky to have found her! 🐶
Gretchen was fantastic with my dog, Marshall. It was immediately clear that she has a genuine love for animals and truly enjoys spending time with them. Marshall took to her quickly, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She took him on nice long walks, gave him plenty of attention, and did a wonderful job keeping him happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive she was to his routine and needs. Gretchen was also incredibly respectful of my home and left everything spotless. It’s not always easy to find someone who is both an excellent pet sitter and such a considerate house guest, but she was both. I would absolutely trust Gretchen with Marshall again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter.
Chase was such a good sitter for my dog! I was initially worried because I was looking for someone last minute, but Chase put my worries at ease. He was communicative with me when I was away, kept the place clean, and also watered some plants! Would definitely hire Chase again.
Ashtin jumped in last-minute for this house sit and we were extremely satisfied with how quickly he bonded with Jerry and cared for him while we were away. The happy pictures we received gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation. In addition, our house was clean and in perfect order upon our return. We hope that Ashtin will return for a future pet sit and would highly recommend him to others! Thank you, Ashtin!
This was the first time I left my little girl Doxie, Annie, with anyone but family. It was an excellent experience. Maureen was wonderful. I heard from her daily with pictures. Annie was relaxed. She seemed to feel good about being with Maureen. I was so pleased. Maureen took care of the house and even watched some of the outside birds that I feed. I am looking forward to having her here again.
Alicia is absolutely amazing with our cats Ash, Ember, and Blaze. She has really become their best friend while we’re away on vacation. They are in the best of hands. It’s always so nice to come home to happy cats and a clean home. Alicia is the best and we are so grateful for her!
Angela did such a great job with our pups! I have one anxious GSD, but Angela was patient and gave her the space she needed until she warmed up. Then they had a great time! My other one is a ball of energy and she handled him well. We even had a last minute vet visit before our trip and she handled the extra feeding and medication instructions incredibly well. I would definitely recommend her!
