Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Marina, San Diego, CA

“Christine is my go-to sitter, and I can always trust her to take amazing care of my cats while I’m away. Her updates and Rover cards, complete with adorable photos of my boys, always put my mind at ease. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in kind and capable hands and I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“- [ ] Working with Petunia is a total pleasure! We have 2 older dogs, one of which is a very excitable poodle, and Petunia's patience and kindness are so apparent when handling animals.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life I have lots of experience with larger breed dogs as well as smaller breeds. I’m particularly good with larger breeds but love all pets just the same. I love to teach dogs new tricks take them for jogs and absolutely adore play time. I believe in positive reinforcement for training and maintaining a calm demeanor. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend:) I work Monday-Friday 730am to 3:00pm and have weekends off. I’m more than happy to stop by before and after work and all day weekends. With my husband away in the military I have lots of free time and taking care of pets is a very fulfilling way to spend my time. I take pets on multiple walks a day to ensure proper mental stimulation I feel it is very important to make sure dogs are fulfilled to avoid destructive behavior. I believe positive reinforcement with treats rather than punishment is the best way to teach pets good habits.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for years, and I have a big adopted dog of my own—so I understand the energy, care, and patience larger breeds need, especially those with behavioral quirks. Whether your pup is shy, strong-willed, or full of energy, I provide calm, personalized care to make them feel safe and loved. Currently studying for a Cyber security self-paced course. My Schedule is very flexible from early morning to late afternoon. I also live in downtown so with closer area pups I can walk over no need to ask for parking! I care for pets and client homes with the same respect and attention I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and leave homes clean, secure, and just as I found them—or better. Communication and trust are always my priorities.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life -- both my own dogs and as the go-to sitter for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Across my extensive time caring for dogs, I have gained experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am particularly good with nervous or timid dogs, and I am very comfortable with dogs who have special medical needs. Last year I had to say goodbye to my own greatly beloved dog after two years of very intense cancer care. While I am not ready for a new dog of my own yet, I am eager to shower other people's dogs with affection and care. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog care most days. On days listed as available, I am able to spend almost all of the time at home with the dog(s). I do not currently have any other animals in the home, and your dog will receive my full attention! I have a wide variety of dog beds for them to try out and toys for them to play with.

About: I’ve been caring for animals most my life. Prior to enlisting in the military I had a Pitt/Mastiff mix, so safe to say the larger breeds do not scare me. I’ve learned the bigger the dog the bigger baby they are lol. Im transitioning out of the Navy right now and my work schedule is very minimal! I’m available most afternoons and for any evening or overnight needs. My current residence does not accommodate pets but I am mobile for all of your in home needs! I find it best not to take the babies out of their environment if not necessary anyways (:

About: I have over ten years of experience caring for and training both domestic and exotic animals. I have been a zookeeper and animal trainer at leading facilities such as The Living Desert Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park. I can care for and train any dog/cat breed or other animal you have. I'm currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule. I can work around your needs for walks or drop-in visits. Feel free to reach out for more information. I am comfortable with all pets. I will provide top-notch care and training using my skills that I have learned working for incredible zoos such as The Living Desert and San Diego Zoo Safari Park. I will treat and care for your pet as if it were my own.

About: I truly love dogs — they’re my favorite thing in the world! I've rescued several dogs from bad conditions, so I understand how to care for pups even with special needs, give medicine when needed, and be patient and gentle. I respect every dog's space and let them enjoy their walks at their own pace. I'm very attentive to details and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work from home, so I have open availability and plenty of time to take care of your dog with attention, love, patience and dedication. I’m happy to take care of dogs in their own home. I always follow their feeding, treats, and walking schedules exactly as instructed. I spend quality time with them — playing, brushing, giving gentle massages, and making sure they have fresh water at all times. I can also help with baths, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and flea checks.

About: Hi, I’m Adam! I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with two dogs who taught me early on how rewarding it is to care for pets. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic kittens to senior cats and dogs needing a gentler touch. I’ve personally cared for my cat who had chronic kidney disease, so I’m confident with giving medications, managing special diets, and recognizing subtle changes in health or behavior. Whether your pet needs playtime, a slow walk, or just quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I treat every animal like they’re my own and genuinely enjoy building trust and connection with each one I meet. I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, which means I can easily accommodate a wide range of needs, whether it’s daytime visits, evening care, or weekend stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. To clarify for overnight visits, the overnight rate includes me coming to your home in the evening, staying the night, and leaving in the morning (approximately 8 hrs total). If 24-hr coverage is desired, the rate will be $450/day. I believe a pet is most comfortable in the space they are familiar with, and to keep them comfortable I am happy to spend as much time with them as they need. Whether it's a few hours or overnight, I'm happy to cater to their needs.

About: I watch all my friends dogs and cats all the time. They love me and I love them. Many people call me a dog/cat whisperer. There's a secure calmness within me that I think they all connect and feel comfortable with. I'm currently working part time and from home so my schedule is pretty wide open. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups(or cats etc). As long as it's ok with the owner, I generally take the dogs wherever I go. I hate leaving them alone unless absolutely necessary. Especially love walking them around town and taking them to the dog park. And cats I am very patient with, if needed and eventually they will approach me. If not needed, I will pet them all day:)

About: As someone who has several furry family members, I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the care of someone you can trust. I love being able to fill that role as needed, whether it's while you're away at work or while you're away traveling. My pets love a predictable routine, so I recognize how important that can be for many pets. I find it really meaningful to help with maintaining your pets' routines as much as possible while you're away and unable to do so. I'm lucky enough to be completely remote with work and have a couple free hours throughout the day most days. I want to use those free hours in a productive/active way if possible, which is why I thought offering pet care might be a great way to make use of that time. I'll strive to do my best to meet your pets' feeding/play/walking needs whenever possible. I totally get the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in the care of someone new. I also know it takes time to build trust and safety between pets and people that are new to them; I'll do my best to initially provide some extra time/availability to build this relationship with your pet/pets.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup or a mellow senior, I’m all about making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with senior dogs-including my own, Plato! Experienced in giving medications and keeping up with their routines. I’m also happy to send updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! 😊 Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day to care for pets. This means I can provide frequent walks, playtime, and lots of attention without feeling rushed. It also lets me easily adapt to your pet’s routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I have a comfortable apartment that’s pet-friendly and cozy for your furry friend. Plus, there’s a great park just across the street where we can enjoy walks, playtime, and fresh air. I make sure to keep the space safe and clean, and I’m happy to stick to your pet’s usual routine to keep them relaxed and happy while they’re with me.

“Nikita was on time (2X) every day, was very attentive to our “little old lady,” and kept us well-informed while we were away. She also took the initiative to work with our building security to remove an “overnight camper” from our patio while we were out of contact range. Thank you, Nikita!”
