“Ashley was a lifesaver for our last-minute daycare needs. She kindly accepted on short notice, and when we picked Teddy up, he seemed as comfortable as if he’d been with family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Definitely a 5-star sitter!”
“I came to San Diego for a conference and brought along my little Cocker Spaniel rescue who I just adopted 5 months ago. Melissa cared for him during the day. He has had a lot of separation anxiety. But with Melissa it was much less than I expected. No doubt she has a gift with animals! Thank you Melissa!”
“We had a great experience! Isabella and her bf were incredibly flexible and accommodating, even with our last-minute daycare request while we were visiting San Diego. Fendi had a wonderful time and got plenty of exercise, including trips to the dog park. We really appreciated the updates and care they provided. Would definitely book again!”
“Alexandra was fantastic!! Great care taker, super responsive, very flexible on time (she accepted the job even tho i gave zero advance notice!). Plus she sent us pics of our dog proactively. Thanks Alexandra!!”
“Lara was great! She introduced chewy to so many dogs on their walk, and she said he did great. I’m so happy to hear her calm energy probably helped to socialize my pup. I will definitely call on Lara again in the future if I need dog sitting.”
About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog. I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!
“Thank you, Leah, for giving Bodhi a chance! He is just scared but you gave him the space & understanding that he needs in order to warm up and be comfortable w/a new person in his life. :) He really likes coming to see you!”
“Camille was amazing with my mini dachshund puppy! She was super flexible with my long work hours and change of schedule. Sent pictures and updates throughout the day and an hour by hour note of everything they did at daycare that day 🥺 she spent so much time playing with him and taking him on walks even during her work day, I know he felt loved!”
About: Pet Care Experience / What Sets Me Apart I provide calm, attentive care and treat every dog like an individual. I’ve been around dogs most of my life growing up with them and living with dogs owned by family and roommates, so I’m comfortable with daily routines, reading body language, and creating a low-stress environment. What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and communication. I follow care instructions closely, keep owners updated with photos and messages, and focus on making dogs feel safe and comfortable, especially in a new environment. I’m a great fit for well-mannered dogs, seniors, or dogs that prefer a relaxed setting rather than a high-energy group environment. I’m happy to accommodate specific routines, administer basic oral medications, and adjust care to meet each dog’s needs. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available throughout the day to care for pets, including walks, playtime, and feeding time I prioritize a safe and comfortable environment for every pet. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets are supervised, given plenty of attention, and kept away from hazards. I follow your instructions closely and create a calm, trusting atmosphere so your pet feels secure and happy
About: I have had many dogs and help take care of many dogs. I have never had a problem and dogs are always happy with me. Respectfully will only watch dogs that are friendly, loving, and not aggressive. I work full time from home so can be with your dog all day :) happy to walk them and play with them through out the day. They wouldn’t have to be locked up all day. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too
“Michelle is super nice not only to me but to my wild puppy ! He was very well taken care of and got comfortable right away! She made sure my baby was welcomed and played with her own puppy girls ! I’m very thankful my bingo was in good hands and safe when I was out of town very grateful !”
“Incredible care! I was traveling to town for school and she was not only available at the last minute, but very responsive and communicative. Very good with my girl Nala. And very reliable. Will absolutely book again!”
“Michael and his wife cared for Goli like he was their own! Goli is high energy and can be a handful! They sent frequent pictures of Goli looking happy as can be! It felt like we sent Goli for a daycation? Definitely going to use their services again!?”
“Chau was so helpful with our two dogs and very patient with our anxious one. She was so communicative and updated us with pictures multiple times a day. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Silke and Jerry were kind and very communicative. It's clear that they love dogs and they were able to understand and work with Amon's separation anxiety. They played with Amon a lot and I think a good time was had by all :).”
“keep our doggo Pancakes active and happy with walks and runs. Always feel confident with Brannon taking care of my bug Doberman. Highly recommend if you’re ever in the San Diego downtown area!”
“Daralyn helped me out in a pinch when I was visiting San Diego with my pup. She sent me amazing updates every few hours and he looked SO happy!!! Plus he was completely worn out when I got him back, which was great for me haha. Disco had the best time with her and I would 100000% book her again next time I’m in town. She’s the best!”
“I’m incredibly grateful to Nicole for taking such amazing care of my dog, Lincoln. She is very responsible, kind, and clearly loves animals. She has a wonderful Maltese, and Lincoln and her dog became great friends right away, which made me feel so at ease. Nicole regularly sent photos and videos, keeping me updated the entire time, I could see how happy and relaxed Lincoln was. I absolutely trust her with my dog and would leave Lincoln with her again without any hesitation. Highly, highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! 💓”
“I would absolutely recommend having your pup stay with Evan and Julia. Our dog Benny had a wonderful time with them (dog park included!) and I knew he was in good hands while we were exploring San Diego. If we are back in SD we will definitely reach out to them, Benny had such a blast. Thank you!!”
“Would recommend Samantha to anyone! Does an amazing job with my mini dachshund puppy, sends frequent pictures and updates throughout the day and I know my pup is in good hands 💕”

If you’re in the downtown area are looking for somebody in the downtown area. Cara was really good. She was able to take care of Samara my dog very well making sure she took her on walks very periodically. More than other sitters that I have experienced. She will make your dog feel like one of hers while keeping you updated throughout the day. Cara provided pictures and text update's if you’re looking for a sitter, Cara is perfect.
We did a doggy daycare with Kimberly. Kimberly was very flexible with pickup/drop-off times and very responsive to messages. Our pup had a great time! He was very comfortable and had fun playing with Kimberly. We’re looking forward to our boarding stay with Kimberly.
Came into town for a mini staycation but wanted to watch a baseball game and needed a dog sitter. I reached out to Jerry & Silky and they were the perfect fit. First time booking for a dog sitter too!! I dropped off a happy dog and picked up a happy dog. She was cuddled and went on a walk. I enjoyed all the photos too to show it!
