About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’m attentive, reliable, patient, and comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. As a cat owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and plenty of attention. I’m already a pet owner myself, so caring for animals is a normal and important part of my everyday life. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines and household guidelines closely, keep their space secure, and give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior pups who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic puppy training, including potty and crate routines, leash manners, and basic commands, and I’m happy to follow whatever training methods you use at home. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs and understand the importance of adjusting walks, playtime, and daily routines to their individual mobility, energy level, and needs. I’m experienced in caring for multiple pets at once and managing different personalities, feeding schedules, walks, and routines. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else; they’re part of the family and I’ll always treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’m currently training and teaching jiu jitsu classes which allows me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. Im able to build my schedule around your pets specific needs or energy levels and love going for little adventures to the park, beach, or where ever your pets favorite spot is! I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m clean, tidy, and mindful of your space while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their normal routine. For overnight or multi-night stays, my dog Lola does need to accompany me. She is a sweet, senior Rat Terrier who is accustomed to being around other pets. I typically provide daily photos and updates but am happy to provide whatever makes you comfortable in knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Dogsitting since 20, trusted by friends and family for years. Patient, reliable, and had opportunity to make a lot of furry friends along the way I currently work full time remotely as a financial analyst. I own a furry friend myself and have ample time to cater to his needs My household is pretty clean and well ventilated for extreme temperature shifts, our dog stays inside with the exception of daily walks and potties in the front/back yard

“One of our dogs is very wary of new people and takes a long time to warm up to them. Not with Kali. She met him once before we left on vacation. Her first walk it took him 2 blocks to chill out. After that he was so stoked to see her and leave the house with her. Dogs came back so happy and fully exercised. Highly recommend. Will 100% use her again.”

About: Located in Sherman Heights near East Village and Golden Hill, perfect for long walks and fresh air. I recently lost my 8-year-old lab/pitty mix and am hoping to continue engaging with dogs while dealing with the loss. I have also fostered rescue dogs, am experienced with highly energetic dogs, and injured or disabled dogs. I've always loved animals and thought this would be a fantastic way to earn additional money and do something I love. Eager to provide a place of love and attention for dogs temporarily separated from their owners. It's stressful enough to be away from your pet without worrying if a kennel will provide them enough attention and engagement. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I work from home full time so can give your dog all the love and attention they need. My schedule is pretty flexible and I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible. I prefer to take dogs out at least twice daily for walks, including one longer scent walk where we let their nose lead the way. I live close to downtown San Diego and can easily walk to East Village or Gaslamp which is are extremely dog friendly areas. I have a small fenced-in yard and can easily crate your dog if necessary. I have experience administering oral medications if necessary and always keep a well stocked pet first aid kit in my home and car. If caring for your pet in your home, I can adapt easily to their routine and will meet your pet at their comfort level.

“Armando was a life saver! I needed a last min walk because I got so busy with work and my pup was being a distraction. He was so kind and Presley came back very tired (yay)! I’ll book him again for sure”

About: Hi, I'm Tennille, a caring and compassionate dog lover. I will treat your dog like it is my own. I live one block from Golden Hill Park. I'm available for walks or a play in the park. Unlimited cuddles available. I’m reliable, responsible and easy going. I don’t mind dogs on the furniture. I don’t currently have a dog of my own so I can give all my attention to your pet(s). I live in apartment with a small patio which dogs love to sunbathe on. I am also open to coming to your house/apartment if you or your pet feel more comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I work from home so I can dog sit during the day. I live near two parks, Golden Hill park is a couple blocks. Also, close is South Park with the backside of Balboa Park and the Grape Street dog park. I have a flexible schedule where I can take walks as needed. As far as the weekends, I spend my time with dog-loving people and so a lot of the time we only go places that welcome dogs. We are so lucky to live in San Diego and have such great weather to enjoy patios. I treat all pets like they are my own. I would respect the owner's instructions for care. I would also respect any home I’m in like it is my own.

“Finding a dog walker while I worked night shift over the holidays seemed almost impossible but Lisa came to the rescue and I am so thankful!! She sent lots of pictures and updates from her walks with my pup and I felt very confident in her caring for him. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I know Winston is looking forward to more walks with her in the future!”

I work part-time for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. I usually work early mornings and late evening shifts a few days a week. I have a flexible schedule and readily available most mid-days.

About: Hi there, I’m Hannah! I grew up with dogs and have 10+ years of dog sitting experience. I also have 3 years of dog training experience and working in a doggy day care. I have worked with all kinds of dogs and their varying personalities & needs. My own dog is anxious by nature, so I am well-versed in helping dogs feel supported and safe in more overwhelming environments. I work from home and create my own hours, which offers a lot of flexibility for dog walking. Caring for dogs is second nature to me, and walking them is one of my favorite hobbies! I am a firm believer that dogs are our companions, unique living beings, and deserve to be treated as such. Based on my dog training experience, I have learned how important it is to create a safe and supportive environment for dogs rather than forcing them to fit into an unsupportive one.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and truly consider pets to be part of the family. Growing up, I cared for our family dog (Shadow) and several cats (Sarah, Barney, Mishu, Josie). During college in New York, I had my own dog (Zazu), and I currently have a cat (Nicolette) in San Diego. Living with both dogs and cats has given me experience with their different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and affection, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I'll care for them with the same attention and kindness I give my own. Until recently, I worked as a school teacher, where I learned to be dependable, patient, and attentive to the needs of others. Since I'm currently between jobs, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, individualized care for your pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I'm available throughout the week and can adapt to your pet's routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I'll do my best to care for them the way you do. I'll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other routines to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll clean up after myself, leave your home just as I found it, and make sure everything is tidy before I leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that feels exactly as you left it.

“Kayla is an excellent dogwalker and was very attentive to Jonesy. She made sure he drank water after his walk and was mindful of the heat so he wasn’t out in the hot sun for too long. Highly recommend !”
