“Yesenia did a great job of taking care of our kitty, Oscar. He took to her right away. She provided pics and left messages as needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

“My senior cats require extra attention involving many specific medications and diets. Donna had no hesitations and kept me well informed while I was away. Grateful to have found an accountable pet sitter in my area as we do not live around family.”

“Anne was very attentive of our pets, made sure they had their needs met. She went beyond what was asked, at short notice and we our very thankful to her. Thank you Anne and Rover for your help. Chad”

About: My entire life I have always had a love and passion for animals. I grew up caring for a variety of different animals of all ages and species and wholeheartedly believe that they are not just a pet, but a member of your family. In addition, I am also an employee at the San Diego Humane Society so I consider my background and knowledge of animals to be extensive. I am currently the mom to a 4 year old Chow Chow named October, a 1 year old Saint Bernard named Valentine, and a 8 year old mastiff named November 💘 If you have a question concerning availability just ask and I will work with you to make sure both yours and your pets needs are being accommodated for! My pets are my children so I ensure they never go a day without getting spoiled with lots of love and attention. Due to my history with animals I am very well versed in day to day caretaking tasks such as feeding, walking, bathing, administering oral medication, etc.
“Samantha is amazing! She took care of my my pups as if they were her own when I had to travel out of town. She even left a sweet card and toys for the dogs! Definitely recommend her!”

“Eliza has had two visits with my boys, Dex and Moe, and already I am impressed. She is highly- competent, intelligent, pays attention to detail, and is very experienced with caring for animals. Most importantly, however, is how much my pups already adore her and how comfortable I feel when she is in my home and my presence. Both my boys are rescues, however, Dex in his first year of life was subjected to extreme abuse and neglect. It generally takes him a very long time to trust new people inside the home ( in Rover’s case that means many meet and greets with me present ) and outside the home on walks significant caution is needed at all times because he is very reactive to numerous things. I adopted Dex in 2018 and I have * never seen him warm up to any new caregiver ( or person in general) as quickly as he has to Eliza. Moe loves everybody. It is also very apparent that Eliza is very attentive when I discuss details about my boys and detailed special instructions even though I have not yet written them down, which I will. I feel at ease and fully trust that Eliza takes these instructions very seriously and understands that, in the case of Dex especially, instructions about the precautions necessary when walking him outside cannot be deviated from- he truly is a very special- emotional- needs dog ( he’s 8 ) and always will be. I am fully confident that whether I need to be away because of a health emergency or am simply on vacation that my dogs are in the best of hands under her care. I would highly recommend Eliza to anyone.”

“Gabby was the best! She was very loving with our two dogs. One of our dogs is very shy and warmed up to Gabby almost right away! We are so blessed she was able to check in on our dogs with a last minute booking. She also took fantastic pictures of our pups!! We most definitely will be booking with Gabby again. Thank you so much Gabby!!! ♡”

“Thank you, Sarah and Abel for taking care of our puppies today! I’m so thrilled you had drop in service and hope you continue in the future. Bailey giving you a nose boop is a huge thing for her.”

Emma was great with my Buddy, calm and quiet but determined to make a friend. I could tell from the pictures that he was enjoying her visits. Emma was so easy to work for me as well and I never had a reason to stress over whether he was getting the attention he always wants.
