“Cristina and her family took my pup in and made him feel right at home! Daily updates and pictures made me smile knowing that he was loved and played with while I was gone.

“Jessica was an amazing sitter while we were away. She was kind, thoughtful, and was even able to watch our kitten Dolly for the weekend with such short notice.

Thanks ladies! :)”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember; big and small, shy and silly! I’ve helped raise several pups from puppyhood to their golden years, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a game of fetch, or a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’m reliable, patient, and always up for outdoor adventures or sticking to your pup’s favorite routine. WFH with a flexible schedule. I even take myself on walks several times a day! Lots of time for playing, cuddling, and paying attention to your fur baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and needs. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep things clean and consistent, aiming to make your pet feel secure in their familiar environment. If I’m hosting, I provide a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly space where your furry friend is treated like family. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands. Bonus: I have a patio where your fur baby can sunbathe or people watch!
“Camille is so friendly and nice with Mermer and takes the cutest pictures! She’s very communicative throughout the day, which is much needed to pull me thru work lol! Mer and I both love her so much.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15. I walked and watched my neighbors, friends and family’s dogs when they went on vacation or during the day for potty breaks. I love dogs and have always had a dog of my own. I will treat your dog as if they were mine. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I walk my dog every 3 hours with a long walk in the morning and evening. I walk my dog very frequently, with a long walk in the morning and evening adding up to 5 miles a day. I can also take your dog to the dog park if you and your dog are comfortable with the dog park. I can crate and give medicine if necessary.
“Della saved our day! During our vacation in San Diego we booked a trip a forgot about our beloved Mack ( we could’ve bring him with us but prefer to leave him, it would have been too much on him ) And contacted Della. She was incredible with him. I’ll booked her again next time we come to the area!”
About: Hi there! I am total animal lover who treats every pet like my own. Whether it’s belly rubs, fun walks, or cuddle time on the couch, I’m here to make your fur baby feel safe, and loved while you’re away! Big or small, shy or playful— I’ve got patience, energy, and lots of love to give! 🐾💛 I can’t promise I won’t be sad when they go back home… I work night shifts on the weekends, typically Friday through Sunday nights. My shifts usually run from late evening to early morning hours. During the weekdays (Monday–Thursday), I’m off and available during the day and evening. I adjust my sleep schedule as needed to stay well-rested and reliable, and I make sure to prioritize any commitments I take on with plenty of time and energy! The same way you care for your pet at home is how I’ll care for them at mine! With love, comfort, and their usual routine to help them feel safe and happy!
“Marisol was amazing!! She kept me updated with the cutest pictures. She has great communication, a big heart for animals, and is reliable. We cannot wait to have our fur baby stay with her again :)”
