About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and caring for animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets at all times. I have a fenced yard and always pay close attention during walks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets are comfortable and secure. I also understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each owner’s routine and instructions.

“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”

I believe in maintaining animals in their familiar surroundings and, as such, my pet care services are primarily centered on caring for your pets in and around your own home.

“Melissa is fantastic! My dog, Kaycee, fell in love with her immediately. She replies to messages quickly and is very loving toward Kaycee. She was also very understanding and flexible when my schedule changed, which I appreciate. Kaycee can't wait for her next walk with Melissa!”

About: I will tailor the love and care for your pet based on his or her behavior and personality. I have both a senior dog and a pup, so there’s a huge range of personalities in between both. My senior dog requires at least an hour inside then wants his own time in the yard as for the pup he requires a lot of exercise and then nap time in the couch. Let me know your fur baby ‘s personality and I’ll be sure to accommodate. At my home you have the option to be completely outside or inside, we have cement and grass and lots of fruit trees for them to smell and explore. I would prefer for your dog to be potty trained in advanced if he or she requires to be inside.

About: Growing up on a small farm in Utah, I was responsible for many animals (horses, chickens, goats, ducks) since age 9. Not to mention my personal pets (Guinea pigs, fish, horny toad, lizards, birds, Chinese water dragons, bearded dragon, bunny, cats and always a dog) Naturally becoming the family pet sitter, groomer and trainer. It has always been easy for me to connect with animals. I am easy going, down to earth, and friendly. My best interest is in your pets happiness. I am always available when on a pet job. I may have other client’s animals to drop in on but will always return in a timely manner. Boarding at my home is preferred but I am always flexible. I understand every client is different. I am great at routine management and am always reliable and professional. I always highly maintain respect for the household and pet’s personal space with a fun, loving, and positive energy. In your home I like to clean and freshen things up before your return. In my own home I make sure pets are comfortable by having plenty of toys and beds to lounge in. My home also has a fenced yard to release zoomies and get some sun.

“Lisa goes above and beyond to care for my pitbull and kitty while I'm gone. She takes my pup on extra long walks, sends lots of photos, and is super communicative. I appreciate the peace of mind in knowing they are being cared for as though they are her own! Thank you so much Lisa 💚”

About: I have some pet care experience, particularly with puppy training and senior pet care. I understand their unique needs, ensuring they receive the right attention. My dedication to providing personalized care and building relationships with pets and their owners makes me a great choice for pet sitting. Pet care is an important part of my day. I have flexible hours during the week and weekends, so I can take good care of your pets. You can count on me to give them the attention they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety is my top priority. I keep the environment clean and remove any hazards. I follow routines for feeding and playtime to keep pets happy. I also stay in touch with pet owners to ensure I'm meeting their needs and preferences.

“Vanessa is absolutely amazing. She is extremely accommodating and has not once said no to helping me out even if it’s a few hours before. She takes the best care of my puppy Lucy and always goes above and beyond for her walks as well as sending me the cutest pictures during. I highly recommend her to anyone nearby!!!!”

About: *Located in Golden Hill/Sherman Heights* PLEASE READ: We have a kitty and dog at home and always need to do a meet and greet before boarding your pet. I have years of experience sitting for fur babies with varying needs, including puppies/kittens, seniors, and animals with disabilities. I grew up in a home with two dogs and two cats and learned how to navigate unique animal ‘personalities’. I am calm when there is chaos, make good judgements when it comes to the health and safety of our beloved pets, and am communicative with owners. Needless to say, I have a special gift with animals and will take care of yours like they are my OWN. We have two fenced yards at our house for your pets to spread out and enjoy :) While I work full time from home, I am able to accommodate walks, play-time, and even vet appointments because of the flexibility of my remote job. I have one friendly dog (River, a 6 year old Bulldog/Boxer mix) to keep your pup or friendly kitty company in my home, but am open to staying at yours, too. If River is not invited, my partner will stay home with her so I can look after your doggie or kitty in a place they are most comfortable. I am familiar with crate trained animals, as well, and do not leave animal unattended for more than 3 hours. We have plenty of parks near our house and already enjoy long walks with our dog - we’d love to add another to the mix!!

About: I grew up with a family dog and have cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life. I am used to cleaning, feeding, and playing! I am patient and look forward to caring for your children as my own- with love, respect, and care. I am currently not working this summer and will be available weekdays and weekends to care for your furry kiddos! I am pretty flexible at this point. :) I currently live in an apartment with two loving cats. I am used to caring for both dogs and cats in this environment. We have grassy yard out front the apartment for the doggies!

About: Cared for my own, and friends pets, and raised two puppy litters. Large yard, lots of toys, and love to give to your furry friends. Working part-time so I have plenty of extra time to do visits or walks. Flexible times depending on weather, whatever is best for the pets Large fenced yard, experience with big or "aggressive" breeds all sizes and breeds welcomed. DOG LOVER so they're in good hands. Patient with all pets.

About: Hi! I’m Madelyn 😊 I’m a reliable, loving sitter based in Golden Hill! While I don’t have a backyard, I do have a secure, gated balcony where your pup can safely relax, sunbathe, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day ☀️ I also live in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood with nearby parks and dog parks for pups who are dog-friendly and enjoy getting out and exploring. Your dog will get lots of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. I love incorporating walks, playtime, and calm, cozy downtime so they feel safe and at home. Outside of pet care, I’m a therapist — which means I’m naturally attentive, patient, and nurturing. I genuinely love coming home to dogs and creating a peaceful, loving environment for them while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic or more calm I’ll make sure they feel comfortable! I DO NOT HAVE ANY PETS OR CHILDREN IN THE HOME 😊 I don’t work Sunday, Monday, or Tuesdays. Wednesday-Saturday my fiancé works from home for afternoon care and loves walks to the park with your dog 😊 I have a balcony where your dog can be outside and it will be gated for them. I will treat your pet like my own.

About: I got my first dog at 10 years old and have been around animals my whole lite. In the last few years, my professional life became centered around animals as well. I started off at a doggy daycare/kennel and have plenty of experience providing animals with various levels of care. After a short while, I realized that my passion in life lies within veterinary medicine. I work at a very busy animal hospital where I’ve taken on several different roles including customer service representative, veterinary assistant, and inventory manager. I currently have two dogs of my own and I couldn’t possibly love them more than I do. They’re my children and I spoil them rotten. Every client I have whether that be in the hospital setting or pet-sitting can trust that I will always care for their pets as my own because my two pups are my world and that’s how I hope a veterinary professional or pet sitter would treat them. I work 4 10 hour days during the week but aside from that I have a very flexible schedule. Making sure any pets in my care get proper love and attention is a top priority of mine. I can even bring pets I am watching to work with me if desired so that we can hang out on my breaks and lunch hour. I live in an upstairs apartment so I personally have my dogs pad trained for emergencies and take them outside to use the bathroom (while leashed) every few hours during the day if I’m home. Otherwise my partner who works from home takes them out or they use the indoor pads as trained. I don’t typically encourage letting dogs be outside by themselves EVEN if the yard is fenced in. Working in veterinary medicine has made me all too aware of the freak accidents that can occur so I’m very much a helicopter mom to my own girls and even more so to my clients’ pets. Trusting someone to watch your animals is such a huge leap of faith and I take that incredibly seriously.
