“Maci is the best!! Everything is perfect when I get home including my cat 😺 She does a great job with his medication and he is very content when I get home. Thank you Maci!!!”

About: I have worked with pets for over 10 years caring for and feeding, also medicating if needed. I have worked with and owned various animals such as reptiles, amphibians, spiders, dogs, cats, chinchillas, ferrets, birds and many more. I love working closely with animals and sharing connections with them. I was a dog trainer for Petco for 3 years, and plan to eventually open my own animal training center and sanctuary for large breed canines and felines. I have experience in bathing dogs and cats including nails, teeth, and trimming new growth hair around the face, feet, and sanitary areas. I can offer your pet a great time and plenty of love and attention while you are away, and maybe even some new tricks if allowed. Thank you and I can not wait to meet you and your beautiful pet! Trying to establish a new clientele, I am currently open to any time (weekdays or weekends) you need me to spend with your fur babies. I will tend to your pets accordingly, based off any notes you provide or any special requests they may need. I like for your pet(s) to be as comfortable as possible when they are with me.

About: I’ve shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life and have never lived without an animal. Over the years I’ve cared for everything from high-drive working breeds to tiny Chihuahuas, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently have a 4-month-old Belgian Malinois that I’m training for PSA and a 7-year-old Malinois who is our calm, steady family dog. I also have five rescue cats—some came to us with health issues that we nursed back to health, and others simply stole our hearts and never left. This mix has given me plenty of hands-on experience with everything from high-energy training and enrichment to medication, special diets, and gentle care for animals who need a little extra TLC. As an empty nester, I now have the time and energy to give other people’s pets the same attentive, loving care I’ve always given my own. Whether it’s a playful walk, structured enrichment, or quiet companionship, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I work from home Monday–Friday, 7–4, and am available all day on weekends. I’m flexible for early morning and evening check-ins and walks. I love staying active and out and about, which makes dog walking a perfect fit. I have a securely fenced yard that’s perfect for potty breaks and supervised play. My two friendly, active dogs are great with other dogs and love company, so your pet will always have a safe, engaging environment and plenty of attention.

“Tanaya was super communicative and always provided updates! She and her fiancé helped out greatly with our high-energy pups and were super loving with them. Greatly recommend Tanaya🫶🏻”

“Jennifer watched our dogs for seven days while we were on a staycation. The thing I love most about her is that she is very communicative and friendly. My animals love her. She followed all of the care instructions & kept everyone happy, safe, fed & loved! We will definitely be using her in the future. Very greatful we found her!”

About: I’ve dog sat and cat sat for multiple different clients in the San Diego region. I have 2 years of experience of pet sitting through a pet sitting agency. I own two cats and love animals! I am eager to help you take care of your fluffy and loveable pets :) I am currently a part time RN in the San Diego region working three days a week. I work mornings and am available after 4:00 pm on days that I work. Otherwise on days off I have open availability! I have experience administering medications to both cats and dogs. I love to play with animals to provide them with enrichment! If injections are needed (ie insulin) I am very teachable since I am an RN :)

“Holly is a genuine dog lover. She was attentive to our dog and cared for him as if he were her own. We came home from a week long trip to a dog who was healthy and happy being cared for in his own home. Highly recommended.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for over 14 years. Friends, neighbors, family, friends of friends, I’ve spent 20+ weekends a year house/pet sitting, and have averaged 3 dog walks a week for the last 3 years. I also have my Dog, Cat, and Pet First Aid Certificate as well as my Pet CPR Training Certificate from American Red Cross. Right now, I’m taking online courses for my profession. In between classes I would like to take breaks by taking care of animals. It’s both a stress reliever and something I love to do. I keep an eye out for any safety concerns or measures that need to take place to ensure the safety of your animals. Safety is key!

“Linette was amazing! She extended the walk time w my husky and he loved her. Highly recommend.”

About: Does it have floof, skin, or scales? I LOVE IT! I have cared for others' animals as well as my own for over two decades. I've also worked as a volunteer animal caretaker at the Jacksonville Zoo, a volunteer diver at the South Carolina Aquarium, and I am the proud go-to animal sitter for many of my friends and family when they travel. Animals I have cared for cover a wide range of breeds, species, sizes, and ages from super young to super old and from 4lbs to 124lbs (my rottweiler, Grady the Bear, who lived to be 9 years old.) I am quite comfortable administering all types of medications and am very attuned to the animal's wellbeing. When in doubt, I will always air on the side of caution and seek professional help. I am comfortable training puppies (continuing the training that you have started and which you instruct me on) and also caring for special needs animals. Besides cats and dogs, I have cared for amphibians, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, and birds. I currently have two very chill cats that are experienced with living with dogs large and small. I live in a 2/2 condo in Mission Valley that offers a dog park up the street, an on-site potty station, walking trails on-property, and a patio with a view where my cats love to watch hummingbirds. Should your animal be kept inside, the room that will be theirs opens onto the patio and can be closed tightly or with a screen door. I also have a bathroom dedicated to animal care. I am happy to take your dog for trail runs, to the beach, to dog parks, or simply around the block! Cats are also welcome, although I must require them to be fixed. I have sat for people across the United States as well as in New Zealand and Australia. One of my hobbies is studying animal behavior in and out of the water. Safe to say, I'm just an animal lover and a completely animal geek. Additional reviews / testimonials available on Trusted Housesitters or by request ☺️ I work from home (........) and enjoy staying active throughout the day. I feed my animals regularly and can easily accommodate your animal's schedule, as routine is important, especially for animals away from home. The most I am away from home is 3-6 hours when I go freediving / spearfishing. If your animal cannot accommodate these longer periods, I will be there while they are staying with me. While staying with me, your animal will have their own: - room - litter box - scratching post - toys - bed - food and water bowls - bath (if needed) If your animal gets along with other animals, I am more than happy to give them open range in the condo (my cats are fine with it), however they will be confined to their crate or room (whichever you prefer) should I leave the house. For dogs specifically, I offer: - trail runs - walks - dog park trips - beach trips - baths - playtime + enrichment For cats, specifically, I offer - playtime + enrichment - daily litter box cleaning - basic grooming (nails, fur, and bath if they tolerate it) - walks (rare, but I have done it!) either in a backpack or on a leash For all animals: - all the snuggles, pats, scritches, and loves I will honor whatever routine you have set for your pet, including where they sleep, whether they are allowed on furniture, diet, schedule, etc. I am happy to administer medication if needed, and I encourage you to leave your veterinary information just in case.

“Kindall is wonderful with our dog! Our dog is very anxious with people but remembers and loves Kindall! Kindall is also super responsive which keeps us even more at ease. Thanks Kindall!”

About: (español abajo) I grew up with dogs and cats in Indiana and know how important truly individualized care is for each pet. I have experience owning cats and dogs ranging from round-the-clock care for tiny kittens who haven’t opened their eyes, fostering seniors with special needs, and providing enrichment activities for healthy adults and engaging walks for healthy good boys and girls. Whatever your pet’s/pets’ needs, I’m excited to meet them and build their trust. Como abogada de inmigración, también sé español! Crecí con perros y gatos en el estado de Indiana, y sé que importante es tener cuidado individualizado por cada mascota. Tengo experiencia como dueña de gatos y perros, incluso como proveer servicio por todas horas a gatitos recién nacidos, cuidar mascotas de edades avanzadas y con necesidades especiales, y hacer actividades con mascotas de cualquier edad. Lo que sean las necesidades de su/s mascota/s, estoy emocionada conocerlos y ganar su confianza. (español abajo) I work remotely from home and often have a flexible schedule to be able to check-in or provide walks during the day, and am free all evening, weekends, and early mornings. (español abajo) Yo trabajo de casa y tengo un horario flexible para poder cuidar su mascota y llevarlo a hacer caminatas durante el día. También tengo disponibilidad en las tardes, noches, temprano en las mañanas, y durantes los fines de semana. (español abajo) For care at your home, provide details on how to enter and access your pet’s food and equipment, schedule a video call to show me around virtually, or invite me over for an in-person overview. Si estoy proveyendo servicios en su hogar, por favor, deme los detalles sobre cómo entrar y acceder la comida y los materiales de su mascota, o podemos agendar una llamada telefónica o de video o una visita en persona.

About: I've been surrounded by animals for 30+ years. My experience runs deep and hands-on. I spent a year working on a farm. Fun fact: I've successfully delivered three litters of puppies — every single one survived and thrived. At home I have two cats and two large senior dogs, all fixed, up to date on their meds, and flea-free. Caring for senior pups every day means I know firsthand how to handle slower walks, medication schedules, achy joints, and the extra patience and gentleness our older companions deserve. What you can count on from me: reliability, genuine love for your animal, and someone who treats your pet like the soul they are. I'll follow your routines to the letter, keep you updated, and make sure your furry family member feels safe and happy while you're away. So whether your pet is a bouncy puppy, a dignified senior, or somewhere in between, I'm calm, confident, and capable in just about any situation. I'd be honored to care for yours. 🐾 Pet care isn't an afterthought for me — it's woven into my daily rhythm. I already care for my own animals every morning and evening, so feeding times, litter scooping, medication schedules, and check-ins are simply part of how my days are built. Adding your pet to that routine feels natural, not like an extra errand. I keep a flexible schedule that lets me be reliably present throughout the day, so I can accommodate everything from quick drop-in visits to longer sessions and consistent walking times. I'm happy to match whatever cadence your pet is used to, whether that's a strict feeding window, mid-day company, or a steady morning-and-evening routine. Most importantly, I show up when I say I will. You'll always know your pet is being cared for on schedule, every time. In my own home, your pet joins a calm, animal-friendly environment with my two cats and two gentle senior dogs — all fixed, vaccinated, on their meds, and flea-free. I keep food, medications, and anything hazardous safely out of reach, maintain clean litter and feeding areas, and can give a nervous or new pet their own quiet space to settle in. If separation is ever needed, I'm comfortable crating or sectioning off rooms so every animal stays safe and stress-free. In your home, I treat your space with the same care I'd want for my own. I follow your instructions exactly — entry, alarm codes, feeding, litter, medication, and lock-up — and I keep doors and gates secured so there's no risk of a pet slipping out. I stay alert to your pet's behavior and comfort, and I'll always reach out right away if anything seems off. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is simple: a safe, clean, loving environment where your pet feels secure and you feel completely at ease. 🐾

About: I have always been the biggest animal lover. I am vegan for ethical reasons! I used to volunteer for the Paws Adoption Center in Chicago. There, I was involved with the community outreach team, and I’d help put together adoption packets and pamphlets. I mostly spent my time doing physical labor— that is, walking the dogs, cleaning up after them, etc. In San Diego, I live with my roommate’s friendly little Maltese dog in a pet-friendly apartment. Growing up, my family has had a total of four dogs. Three of them we adopted about 15 years ago, and I witnessed them through their teething process and helped potty trained them. A couple of years ago, we welcomed a new, adult dog into our home in Chicago. During winter break of 2017, I successfully taught her several new tricks. In addition, family members and friends have asked me to pet-sit during special events or lengthy vacations. I am very willing to work with new dogs with different personalities who may require special care. My schedule is completely open, and my apartment is a comfortable, clean, and spacious place for dogs to stay in. I am especially willing to travel to your home if that happens to be your preferred option. I am looking forward to accommodating dogs to their own special needs. I am working part-time and can check on your dog at least every six hours! Many days, I only work four hour shifts, so I can probably check on them even more often! I am very neat and clean! I will treat your space with respect the way I do mine. Let me know which spaces your pet is allowed to go into!

About: I’ve had dogs all my life who are well behaved and super loved. They are happy dogs with lots of energy and good leaders to others! I am cpr certified as well. I am currently a college student for my lvn and have my CNA. I look forward to sitting all kinds of animals! My schedule is pretty flexible sometimes, some days get busier than others. They eat morning and night and get lots of healthy treats throughout the day, I walk them around my neighborhood a lot of times throughout the day, they have their own area in the backyard that also includes a doggy door for whenever they’d like to go and handle business. My dog knows how to sit, paw, lay down, roll over, he’s loyal and respectful. He’s pretty social but does get a little too excited around other animals and can be a little overwhelming for others but they adjust.
