“Our dogs and cats loved Ravit! It made our trip so much nicer to know that they were getting great care. Ravit even figured out how to get our incredibly picky dog to eat!”
“Kara's reintroduction to Athena after my girl, Sasha's passing went great. Kara was able to successfully walk my shy Athena with no issues. They also got some plank training exercises done! The photos Kara shared with me were reassuring all was going well. Athena and I look forward to seeing Kara in a couple of weeks! Kara, thank you!”
About: I grew up with a dog and started taking care of him when I was 12. I love all dogs from the smallest to larger breeds. Me and my fiancé adopted two puppies last year so your dog will have lots of play time while boarding. Before we got our pups we were fostering other dogs, both puppies and seniors. I’m free most days of the week as I’m working from home. I‘ve always loved being around dogs and felt a genuine connection when intercated with one. Since I‘m working from home, I have plenty of time to take your dog on walks, to the park or to the beach. The closest dog park to my house is a 5-minute drive away, and the closest dog beach is 10 minutes away. I will make sure your dog has lots of fun! I’m working from home every day except Tuesday. On Tuesdays I’m available after 3pm. I’m available on most weekends but please make sure to reach out 4 days in advance. I live in an apartment with plenty of space for small/medium dogs. There is an unfenced yard for potty breaks and a dog park 5 minutes away from my place.
About: With a deep love for dogs, I provide gentle, reliable care for dogs of all ages. Your dogs will received personalized care tailored to their unique needs and routines. My availability is focused on afternoons and weekend. I enjoy using these hours to provide consistent exercise, companionship, and care, ensuring every walk is relaxed, safe, and enjoyable. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s medication, senior care, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs.
“Brittnee was outstanding! Our puppy is young and we’re still working on training a lot of different things: she was positive, met all of our many requests, was prompt, communicative, and generally a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend for any of your pup’s needs!”
“Monica is reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond making sure my pups were taken care of! I will absolutely be using her services again if/when needed in the future.”
“Kalista has been taking care of our cat for a while now, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s reliable, conscientious, and kind. Monkey always seems at ease when we get home. :)”
About: I have taken care of dogs every since I was 9 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trust me to feed, walk, play with, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I am very trustworthy and friendly and am honored to have been able to work with so many amazing animals. I just graduated from university and I'm currently between jobs. I have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them the quality care they deserve. I know the La Jolla and Pacific Beach area very well and know the perfect walking routes so that your puppy can explore, smell, and walk safely.
“Allison took such great care of our two dogs! We got updates and pictures consistently throughout our time away. We felt so comfortable on our trip knowing our babies were in good hands. Definitely will book with her again!! Thank you Allison!!”
“He did an amazing job and I really appreciate every time he drops by my place and takes care of my cat. I will definitely be reaching out again in the future for his help again. like always, thanks for the flexibility and great communication.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since 10 years old and have feed, bathed, provide exercise, and different kinds of enrichment for pets. I love animals and am working on being able to train dogs. I have a medium sized yard and am willing to take dogs on hikes. I’m currently working part-time and can board from certain days with given notice. On the days I don’t which is 4 days out of week I am mostly home all day and take out my own dog most days on hikes. I have a fenced yard and have my own dog which I sometimes keep in the crate or outside when I am not home. My dog can be mean and first but then becomes more friendly with time. I provide stimulation and exercise for my pets and the pets I am taking care of.
“Leah was great! She came over a few days early to meet our cats and learn about their needs. She gave us updates and lot of pictures. I was very impressed that she was able to get so close to the our cat and successfully give pills to the other cat. I would absolutely rehire her.”
“Mariya was a great sitter for Blix! I was impressed with her level of responsiveness, attention to detail, and her love for animals. :) It was great to receive fun pictures and videos from each visit and to know that Blix was in great hands. I will definitely rebook for any future needs. Thank you Mariya!”
“Alexis did a great job with our two senior pups. She did two drop in visits, fed, walked and administered medications. She also was able to inject my diabetic with insulin. I loved the recaps and photos she sent of the visits. We will definitely book her again when needed.”
About: I grew up with dogs and can’t imagine life without them. Being around animals has always brought me a deep sense of calm and joy — it’s honestly my happy place. I have a special love for Terriers (I know how stubborn and sweet they can be!), and I’m very patient, especially with shy or older dogs who need a little extra time to feel safe. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog needing gentle care, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine — it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m available on weekends and most mornings, which works great for walks or check-ins. I also have the most free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I can be especially flexible on those days! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I understand the importance of boundaries — both for the pet and the home — and I do my best to keep things clean, calm, and comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my whole life. I have an 8-year-old golden retriever at home who I’ve helped raise since he was a puppy, and I also grew up with cats, so I’m very comfortable with both. Friends and neighbors have always trusted me to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping their pets loved while they’re gone. I’m gentle, patient, and active, so your pet will get plenty of attention and care. I treat every dog and cat like they’re my own. I’m a student athlete college at university with a consistent schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, and playtime between classes and workouts. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention they need throughout the day. Pet safety is always my top priority. I’m very careful with leashes, gates, and doors, and I follow all instructions exactly as given. I’m respectful in clients’ homes and make sure pets feel comfortable, calm, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or playtime, I treat every pet like my own.
About: I've taken care of dogs ranging in all sizes, from a Yorkshire Terrier to a Husky-Mix, as I've grown up with five dogs in my household. I've done it all from, feeding, handling medication, bathing, walking, crating, and of course, petting/playing. Additionally, I also have experience with other dogs than my own, as I've helped my friends with taking care of the dogs they were pet-sitting and have covered for my family-friends while on vacation. I'm currently a full-time student studying psychology at University of San Diego and am employed at Urban Outfitters seasonally, so my availability isn't open on the week but fully open on the weekends (Friday-Sunday - Anytime)! I have a dog gate/fence inside and outside of my house but also a crate (specially for the husky); therefore I can easily crate any dog or make sure your pet stays in area they're permitted.

Melissa provided excellent service when we left her with Webbygail. She went above and beyond and couldn’t ask for a better sitter/walker. Kept us up to date on all activities with message and pictures. She also wrote snippets of what was done and also nutrition of Webby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking on this site for a safe and reliable caretaker of your pet. :)
Destiny has been such an amazing cat-sitter for my boy Sunny. While I was away, my lockbox for my house key became too rusted to access (by no fault of anyone) and Destiny handled the situation in such a reassuring, professional way. After figuring out a plan of action, she communicated with a few of my neighbors and the maintenance workers on site to coordinate what would be needed to gain access back into my apartment to care for Sunny. It was a very stressful situation since I was concerned about Sunny not being able to be accessed, but Destiny went above and beyond to reassure me and make sure everything was well taken care of. Highly, highly recommend her services!
Riley did such a great job with our kitties while we were away! I loved all the photos every day, she gave them lots of snuggles & played with energetic boy kitties a bunch! & She did great at cleaning up their crazy messes after they knocked lots of plants over which was very much appreciated! It was great know they were in good hands while we were out of town! Will be booking again😊
Siobhan is a great repeat sitter for my cat Franklin! Very communicative and kind, and does what is best to care for my sweet Frank. He’s always cuddling and purring when she visits and I come home to happy cat. Would definitely recommend Siobhan for your pet sitting needs :)
Shreeya is the best! My roomie and I dropped the ball and realized only a couple of days before Thanksgiving that we needed to book a sitter for the upcoming holiday. When I messaged Shreeya, she responded within the hour and was so flexible with our first meetup, which happened the same day! She was so attentive and thorough with her questions that I knew we were leaving our kitties in good hands. Even when my roomie mixed up the dates for her departure and we had to cancel one of the days we booked with her, Shreeya was so gracious, communicative, and quick to adapt. She also sent pictures and daily updates about how our kitties were doing. 11/10 would recommend! I'll definitely book again with Shreeya any time I'm out of town :)
Brittnee was outstanding! Our puppy is young and we’re still working on training a lot of different things: she was positive, met all of our many requests, was prompt, communicative, and generally a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend for any of your pup’s needs!
