“Alex did a wonderful job watching my kittens for the week while I was out of town! I got lots of photos and updates and I had the most relaxing stress free trip knowing they were taken care of!!”


“So lucky to have Kati!!!”


“Thank you for figuring out how to encourage Fiver to come out under the bed! And your willingness to tack on another day if we needed it. Next time would you also check our mail for us? We were told there’s a mail thief that occasionally hit out street! So appreciate you taking such good care of our sometimes grumpy/fearful kitties!!!”


“Josh did a great job caring for our kitty Fia!”


About: What sets me apart is my well-rounded experience caring for animals in both professional and personal settings. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant and dog trainer, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health care, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m calm, reliable, and truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether that means going on long walks, playing with high-energy pets, or providing quiet companionship for shy cats. I treat every pet like my own and always strive to give them the attention, comfort, and care they need while you’re away. As a military spouse newly relocated to Fallbrook, I’m using my flexible schedule to offer dependable dog walking and drop-in visits for local pet owners. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing attentive, reliable care to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, which can include playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I also provide neighborhood dog walks to help keep your pup happy, healthy, and active.

“Samantha was amazing! She was very sweet with our older cats. She was extremely detailed in her updates, very thorough and great with her communication. Our cats were very well cared for while we gone, which gave us such a peace of mind. We will be booking Samantha for all future pet sitting needs!”


“Abby was great, my typically shy cat trusted her completely which says a lot! She washed all the cat dishes, and went above and beyond with care. Highly recommend!”


“Kevin showed up on time, followed instructions to a T and replied to our messages in a timely manner. We really appreciate his help and will continue booking him in the future.”


“Anneliese has quickly become a go to person to help us out. She is reliable, great communicator and truly cares for our piggies! Thank you!”


“You were amazing- thank you for taking such good care of my pups!!”


About: I have taken care of my dog since I was in college, living with my brother. My brother has relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe the dog while he’s at work.

About: Working at a dog groomers (Raining Cats and Dogs) taught me a lot about patience, attention to detail, and how to read each pet’s behavior and needs.

Alongside grooming, I've also provided personalized pet sitting services through Nextdoor, building strong bonds with pets and their owners! My main goal is to provide the most professional, compassionate care for your animals! Currently, I am self-employed as a homebase nail technician. This is the reason why I do not provide any at home pet sitting or boarding services. However, on the bright side, I am able to create my own schedule!

I do not have a preference on height, size, or breed all animals are welcome! I also have experience with cats and more than happy to take care of your cat as well.

“Anna was so great with our cat! She came in each day and spent quality time with our little guy, sending us tons of pictures and thorough updates each day. When our cat had an eye irritation, she let us know right away and took care according to our direction. You won’t be disappointed with the intentional care and utmost professionalism Anna displays!”


“Vanessa took great care of our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. She sent updates and communicated as needed, including expressing concern that the house was too warm for our kitty. We also had an ant invasion while we were gone, but Vanessa took initiative to clean them up and put out our ant traps. I wouldn't hesitate to have her sit for us again!”


About: Growing up in the country, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahua's to larger, and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit-bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their exercise routines, feeding habits, and personality quirks. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. I have demonstrated and learned all these factors through the San Diego Humane Society and my Dad (dog trainer). Rounded up I have five years of experience with various sizes and breeds, making knowledge, communication, and compassion key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all types of dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior challenged dogs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the animals in my care. As a graduated student, I have the freedom to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I schedule feeding times, walks, and play sessions around my coursework, giving each pet the structure they need while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. Having free weekends also allows me to dedicate more time to pets, who need consistent attention or engagement. I use my time for exercise, mental stimulation, or grooming, depending on the pet’s needs. My focus on time management ensures that pets are always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into my routine. Whether it’s providing a calm and nurturing environment during the week or engaging in more active care on weekends, I ensure that pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, allowing me to meet the needs of every animal I care for. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment that fosters trust and well-being. Safety is my top priority, which includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, removing hazardous items, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses and supervise them closely to protect them from potential dangers like traffic. Building trust with pets is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, creating a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, spending quality time playing, or offering soothing companionship during quiet moments, I ensure they feel valued and cared for. The environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and follow their care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for the pet. Ultimately, my approach combines attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.

“Overall, Bianca did a good job dropping in to take care of my cats. Lots of updates and photos which were nice. There were a couple of things I noticed though for future clients to be aware of: 1. She brought two young children with her to the drop-in visits which was not discussed with me prior to the booking or visits. Thankfully, my pets are okay with kids but I know that is not always the case with pets and there are properties that may not be considered “kid friendly”. 2. The drop-in visit care instructions requested the cat litter boxes be cleaned at least once a day. This was not done on 2 of the days we had booked because they “didn’t look bad”. I don’t believe care instructions should be open to Rover sitter interpretation unless specifically stated by the client.”

Her cats are also very gentle and friendly with my dog, which made the experience even better. Every time my dog is with her, I know he’s in good hands. She always makes sure he is well-fed, walked, and given lots of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the way she treats him like her own.

Ally S.
“I have seen Ally work with all kinds of dogs. She has a way with animals. Her heart is so big and she would do anything to help and care for each and every pet. My dogs love when she comes around. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”


Janet K.
“Jan enjoys long walks on the beach....with dogs. From my experience many people have a "do the bare minimum and keep the animals alive kind of mentality." This is not the case with Jan. She will not only meet the basics needs of your pet but she will be sure to make them feel loved in your absence. She genuinely cares about the animals she gets to spend time with. She has taken care of my house full of animals which includes 2 dogs, 2 cats and even a bearded dragon. She is trust worthy and kind, which really matters when you are letting someone into your home. Trips are so much more enjoyable and carefree when I know Jan is watching over things at home.”

She has cared for our animals many times while we’ve been traveling and we always have peace of mind that not only are their basic needs being handled, but they are also receiving lots of attention and love. I highly recommend Sierra as an animal caregiver. Not only will she provide top level care, she will also be a surrogate parent for your pets while you’re away.”
