Pet Sitting Loma Portal

About: I’ve have always grown up with pets, making me develop an extreme love for animals. I’ve had 2 dogs, and a cat who eventually has 7 kittens when I was 10 years old. Me and my family took care of them for 8 weeks until they could go to new homes! My love for animals has only strengthened, and after my childhood dog had passed, I wanted to take the love I had and still have for him, and share it with others by helping them take care of their pets. I knew the anxiety of trying to find the right person to care for your pet, and I want to ensure that I will give your pet so much love and care as if they were my own. I have a certificate in Cat and Dog First Aid conducted by American Red Cross so do not worry, your pet is in safe hands! I’m also very flexible for all types of energies your pet may have, I’m happy to chill out or run around and play some tug of war! I am currently a part time student at San Diego Mesa College, so I will have more than enough time to care for your dogs and cats! I’m always happy to get out of the house, especially if I get to meet more furry friends! My house is fully enclosed, with a fenced front yard and backyard. Almost all windows have screens, and I currently have one cat who is very independent and will be no trouble for your pet!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life from growing up with dogs to having my own dog walking business at 12 years old. With my childhood dogs, I was responsible for managing their medications and helping them heal from different ailments as they aged. I currently work full time on site in a biotech lab Monday through Friday, but I am available for dog sitting, walks, or check ins before 7:30am and after 4:30pm on weekdays and full time on most weekends. I strive to make the dogs I care for feel comfortable and safe by sticking to their routines and accommodating any special needs they may have.

About: Dog dad who spent 11 amazing years with my sweet Pitty, Zuri. I also helped raise four puppies and have many friends whose dogs and cats I consider family. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I'll take the time to get to know your fur baby and work with you to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm experienced caring for pets of all ages, including seniors, puppies and kittens, pets with special dietary or medical needs, and those with unique personalities or behavioral challenges, including reactive or aggressive pets. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities. I know firsthand how much our pets miss us when we're away, and I always wanted Zuri to receive the same love, patience, and attention that I gave her at home and is exactly the kind of care I'll provide for your loved ones. *Heartbreakingly, Zuri passed away over two years ago, so there won't be any other pets with me while I care for yours. Taking on new clients to fill my schedule. Currently have no schedule restrictions besides the beginning of September and the last week of September/week of October. I will treat your loved one as if they were my own by making sure they're always safe and happy. I know what it was like to be away from a pup and understand the stress their under while their person is away and is why it's so important to me that you and they are satisfied with the care I provide.

About: Hi! I'm Courtney, a lifelong dog lover based in Point Loma. For the last 13 years, my world revolved around caring for my Golden Retriever/Rottweiler mix, Bodi. He recently passed away, and while my home is a little quieter these days, I'd love to spend time caring for other people's dogs. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I am the sole caregiver during all bookings, whether your pet is staying in my home, I'm stopping by for a drop-in visit, or taking them on a walk. Having cared for a senior dog, I'm especially comfortable with older dogs, large breeds, slower walks, medication routines, and pups who simply need a little extra patience and companionship. I'm also happy to care for young, energetic, playful dogs who love to explore and have fun. When boarding, I only accept up to two dogs from the same family at a time so I can give them my full attention. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and even in bed if that's what they're used to at home. I have a fully fenced patio, and because I work from home, dogs are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours. I know firsthand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new. I'll always communicate clearly, send plenty of photos and updates, and care for your dog the way I'd want someone to care for mine. Whether your pup wants an adventure, a relaxing walk, or just lots of affection, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care has been part of my daily routine for years. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they deserve. I enjoy being active and outdoors, and I love giving owners peace of mind with updates and photos while they're away. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I'm caring for them in yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. In my home, I only accept up to two dogs from the same family at a time so I can give them plenty of individual attention. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and even in bed if that's what they're used to at home. I have a fully fenced patio for fresh air and outdoor time, and because I have flexible schedules, pets are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours. I'll also send regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“I’m so glad I found Tina! I book with her regularly when I need to go out of town here or there so my two kitties have someone to visit with them. They are still young and playful and it gives me peace of mind since there was an incident before I found Tina that left me anxious about leaving them alone - knowing I can rely on her and get updates has really put me at ease! She is very respectful and easy to coordinate with.”

About: I'm a total dog person! No matter the breed, I'm sure to love and adore every dog I meet. I've been around dogs my entire life and am well-versed in the unique personalities and quirks that come with different breeds. Growing up, friends and family regularly relied on me to care for their pets while they were away, which gave me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. In San Diego, I’ve been walking dogs for the last 5 years. Some of the breeds I have extensive experience with include English Bulldogs, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Pugs. I also have an English Bulldog of my own, so I'm very familiar with the special care brachycephalic (smushed-face) breeds require, including their sensitivity to heat and exercise. I currently work from home 4.5 days a week (Tuesday mornings I am in office), so have a fairly flexible schedule when it comes to tending to your pets needs🙂 My English Bulldog is a total couch potato! He's spent a lot of time around other dogs and loves having a companion to hang out and relax with when we host. We live in a spacious two-story, two-bedroom ADU with a private, fenced yard that gives dogs plenty of room to run and play. Our home is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood in Point Loma. Out of respect for our neighbors and to ensure a calm environment for all of our guests, we do not accept dogs with barking habits.

“Stacy was a great cat sitter! She was very communicative, responded promptly, helped with all of our specific requests, and took great care of our cat! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our cat was in great hands! We highly recommend her!”

“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'm an animal lover who enjoys caring for and getting to know all types of pets. I love to play and I'm also comfortable with Seniors and administering medication. I love to keep them all safe and happy! I work two late-night shifts at a local cafe and besides that I do Child and Pet Care. This keeps my schedule pretty flexible but I am open to setting up regular times too. I just treat every pet as if they were my own companion. Different animals need different care and I respect and honor that. I look forward to getting to know your little individual!

About: Reliable, experienced and compassionate care for pets. From my earliest memories, animals have been an integral part of my life. Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, and more ,I quickly developed a deep connection with animals. My journey as a foster mom was one of the most rewarding times in my life. With each new foster dog that came into my life, I witnessed the transformative power of compassion and patience. And then came Hachi, my ninth foster and first foster fail. From the moment she entered my home, I knew she was meant to be a permanent member of our family. She's not just a pet; she is a constant source of love and joy. Alongside Hachi, I share my home with a senior pug, Ling, whose snorts and wiggles never fail to brighten my day. Despite her age, She still full of spunk and personality, a reminder to cherish every moment we have together. Outside of my furry family, I dedicate my days to a career in cardiac research and I am mom to two incredible adult humans . Away from the hustle of everyday life, you'll often find me drawn to the ocean or anythig outside. Dog walks evening and overnights most any night. I’m also available for vet visits or vet pick ups. I’m able to give meds, shots and baths. My dogs are part of the family, they sleep indoors and get better care than most. I love nothing more than spoiling them and seeing them enjoying life.

About: I grew up in an animal-loving family, where caring for pets was a shared responsibility. I haven’t had a dog in a while, and I truly miss being around them, which is one of the reasons I love pet sitting. Because I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I can follow their routines, provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and make sure they’re never left alone for long. 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

“Leia was absolutely fantastic with our two French bulldogs. They loved her and she was extremely patient when they (embarrassingly) had upset tummies while we were gone. She really went above and beyond with them.”

About: I've been around animals my whole life, so I've got a pretty good sense for reading different personalities and picking up on when something's off, whether it's stress or a health issue starting to show. I've taken care of senior pets too, including giving meds and just being patient with them in the way older animals need. On the flip side, I'm just as comfortable with a bouncy puppy who needs consistent training and boundaries along with lots of positive reinforcement. Every pet is different, so I try to meet them where they're at instead of expecting them to fit my routine. And since I work remotely with a flexible schedule, I'm actually around during the day, not just popping in for a quick check. Your pets will have someone paying real attention to them, keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you're out. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm available throughout the day to care for your pets. My work arrangement allows me to provide consistent attention, regular feeding times, and plenty of companionship for your furry family members. I already enjoy taking 1-2 walks daily as part of my routine, and I would love to bring your pets along for these outings. Whether it's midday potty breaks, morning exercise, or evening strolls, I can easily adapt my schedule to maintain your pets' regular routines and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I provide attentive, loving care and create a safe environment for pets whether in my home or yours. I prioritize following your established routines to minimize stress for your animals. When house sitting, I respect your home while ensuring your pets maintain their comfortable surroundings and familiar schedule. I'm detail-oriented about safety, keeping doors secure, following feeding instructions, and staying alert to any behavioral or health changes. I'll send regular updates with photos so you can see your pets are happy and well-cared for. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your home and beloved animals are in responsible, caring hands during your absence
