About: I was an experienced dog walker at my local humane society for 4 years, as well as having a dog of my own. I've had multiple cats as well, and love allll furry friends! I also have years of experience pet sitting neighbors and friends animals, and will send you lots of updates & photos of your fur babies !! I work a 8-4 Monday to Friday, and can be flexible on times apart from these hours - let me know when you need a helping hand, and I can be there. I read all instructions and prepare myself for the visit before entering the home, to make sure each pet owner feels comfortable as well as the fur baby. I love to win their love with treats and gentle movements to make them feel comfortable, until I can proceed to give them lots of pets and love

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was young! My first dog was a Husky mix, my first cat was a long haired Angora, and I have a great love for animals of all shapes and sizes. I’ve cared for young animals, rescuing and nursing both kittens and puppies, as well as cared for older seniors for family and friends. I’ve even lived with and cared for cows, chickens, turtles, and bunnies! I’m a confident, well-attuned pet sitter who would be delighted to meet and care for your furry family members. At the moment, I don’t have any pets of my own, so getting to walk, watch, and spend time with animals (and get to know my community) is a real highlight of my week. I am an environmentalist who works from home with a flexible schedule, so I have lots of time to spend with your animals! I am available for overnight stays or check in’s any night of the week, and can arrange stops as often as needed with a bit of notice. Don’t hesitate to reach out with last minute bookings — always happy to see what I can do! I have a fenced yard with no other animals at the moment — perfect to give attention and a calm setting to your pets! While I am happy to host your fur babies, I am also comfortable caring for them in your home where they are most familiar with their surroundings!

“Lyric did an incredible job caring for my cat, Maui! She was very communicative, responsive, and attentive to all my preferences. I really appreciated how she kept everything clean, including tending to Maui’s litter box, and made sure Maui got plenty of love and attention while I was away. She provided frequent updates and photos that gave me peace of mind, showing how happy and comfortable Maui was. It’s clear that Lyric genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter — and I’ll definitely be relying on her services again in the future!”

“Megan was so understanding. I forgot to leave written directions. We did do a walk through before she came by and she remembered everything! I was impressed. I came back home and Winnie was well fed and his litter pan cleaned. He barely even missed me with Megan around. Thank you!”

“Rachel was the perfect sitter! It was the first time we left our new kitties for a few days and truly Rachel and her communication left us so at ease! Our cats are indoor / outdoor which adds a little more complexity but Rachel handled it with ease and was so sweet to work with! Can’t wait to book again :)”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of caring for pets belonging to friends, family members, and coworkers over the years, which has given me a wide range of experience with animals, their personalities, and routines. I take pride in being someone others trust to care for their pets as if they were my own. What sets me apart is my dependable and detail-oriented approach, as well as my genuine love for animals. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, whether that means sticking closely to their routine, providing extra playtime and cuddles, or maintaining a calm environment. My goal is to ensure that both pets and their owners feel confident and at ease, knowing their dog is in responsible, caring hands. I am currently working part-time (weekday nights and weekend day shifts). I am available for consistent care, Mondays through Fridays, from early mornings until mid-afternoon/evenings. I will care for pets in their home, as that is most familiar to them. I can either spend the nights if needed/preferred by the owner, or I can work in late-night and early-morning pop overs in addition to the mid-day walks and activities.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog for the last 6 years and I’ve also dog sat and walked my friends’ dogs. I look forward to taking good care of yours! I’m free to walk drop-in on your dog from 11am to 5pm. I love walking dogs in Ocean Beach and I am lucky to be able to do it everyday. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay attention to traffic and “cross” signals. I slow down if your dog goes slower. I’m careful around other dogs and I pay attention to whether your dog is hot or tired.

About: I grew up with in a family who loves animals, we all had to take care of them. I didn’t have a dog for a while now and I miss them sooo much Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home. This allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, maintain their regular schedules, provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, and plenty of companionship, rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I have a big patio, it is fenced, so the dogs can use it. My house is very clean, I care about that too and I think it is important for pets to stay in a safe and clean place

“Kirra was so great with my cat, Watson! This was my first time using Rover so it was so nice to know he was in good hands. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Andrea was great taking care of my cat while out of town and even came over in advance to meet him and take a look at where everything would be! Thank you Andrea!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds. I grew up with multiple dogs and have had two foster puppies of my own. I have a very flexible work schedule and am looking to babysit, walk/run, and take care of any dog who needs a friend! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I am free the most on weekends but the weekdays are very doable as well. I have a townhouse without a backyard but I plan on going on extensive walks and even runs for more active pets. For boarding I will take your pet anywhere I go if they are comfortable with that!

“Micheal is awesome. Really great with my cats. Super communicative, kind, and took great care of everyone. My super shy cat came to hang out with him multiple times I was out!”

“Paige did a great job taking care of Frankie! She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures updates so I knew he was doing well. I would definitely book her again in the future!”

“Virgine is amazing! So professional and so kind. My pets loved her. She brought in my packages and even cleaned up after my kitten Puma who thinks she’s a dog and likes to chew on paper products 🤦🏽‍♀️ I have hired Virgine twice and she will always be my go to for my babies when I am out of town.”

About: My expertise is senior dogs. I like dogs of every type though, and I don't discriminate. Any high-activity dogs are also fun because I love hiking, walking, and running. I also like cuddling on the couch while I work remotely. I have experience administering medications via shot, vial, or food. I'm working remote part time, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pet and house sit, as well as go on extended walks if that's necessary. My weekends are hit or miss if I'm in town but my availability is usually pretty good. However you prefer your pet to be managed in your home is fine with me. I have no issues spending extended time with your pet inside or outside.

About: As a loving pet owner and sitter, I take the responsibility of caring for your little family member very seriously! Safety is my utmost priority! Whether that is senior care or a walking route that best fits your pet, I'm honored to take care of your companion. I am a full time Realtor with a flexible schedule. I love to break up my day with walking my own dogs and am happy to incorporate your pet's schedule into my routine. I have a fully fenced yard that my own two dogs love to hangout in. My house is single story and ideal for senior pups who need a safe, comfortable place to stay.

“Ashley was so great she had clear communication and I felt confident having her watch my cat! I will definitely be re-booking with her as she cared for her very well while I was away.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Our dogs were always a member of our family and the love I developed for dogs only grew over the years. Dogs are really angels on earth and I cannot imagine my life without them. Once my husband Matt and I started living together we decided we needed to care for our own doggo and we adopted Isabella as a puppy. I’ve always dreamed to have a golden retriever, because I love their energy and happiness. Isabella is 6 years old and she is truly our baby daughter. While we are not ready to have another dog yet, we love watching our friend’s pets when they go on vacation or need to travel. So we decided to make our passion for dogs a formal gig and provide our fellow dog parents a piece of mind when they need to leave their fur babies for a few days. We are accommodating of your needs as we understand how difficult it is to have to trust other people to take care of our babies. My husband and I both work full time from home so there will be one of us around pretty much all the time. We are both home on the weekends. When we go outdoors we love taking Isabella with us so we would take your dog as well if you allow. We live in a townhome and your dog would be free to be around the house as they please. We can take them for potty breaks as often as needed. We love going on walks with Isabella and we would be happy to take your doggo with us. We also love going to the dog beach and dog park (and we are happy to follow your instructions to keep them safe and sound!) While we don’t have a yard, there is a dog area right next to our house. We also have a dog park in our complex.

“Ilayda is fantastic! Extremely communicative, kind, and attentive to my young pup. Would recommend to everyone!”
