House Sitting In Mira Mesa

About: Hello! I am an animal lover who has recently relocated to the SD area. I regularly have sat for family, friends, and word of mouth recommendations for over a decade. I have cared for pets as small as tree frogs to a home with multiple large pit bull mixes, to a diabetic cat in need of insulin injections twice a day. Whatever type of pet you have I promise to love them as much as I love my own! I am currently at home full time. I regularly take walks to get out of the house and would love to have a companion join me! I love animals and couldn’t imagine spending my day in a better way than with them! I do have my own cat which means for multi day jobs I would occasionally want to visit her (my partner is there to care for her) but I am available to spend majority of the time at a clients home. I have a fenced back yard for your animal to run around in. I would keep your pet in the living room and kitchen are with me while I leave the bedrooms for my cat. I love going on walks so I will be more than happy to take your dogs out with me ( no dog parks or off leash areas).

“Luis stayed at our home with our dog for a full week and he was amazing! We got updates multiple times a day and came home to a happy dog and clean home. We will definitely have Luis watch our dog again!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Val! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for my dog as if it was her own. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Val to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and I will definitely be using her services again.”

“So glad we found Jinni, our two chihuahua mixes loved her and she managed our son’s cat who gets into everything. We were gone for 10 nights and have never used a house sitter before, but we always felt the animas were in good hands. Jinni communicated often and updated us with photos. Highly recommend!”

“Yena did a wonderful job of taking care of my 2 babies. My 2 doggos like her very much. She is very responsive and sends me updates of what’s going on with them. Thank you Yena for taking care of my Angel and Luna.”

“We are very appreciative of Patricia’s care for Oakley while we were out of town! We know that she was well taken care of & loved to receive updates/pictures throughout the weekend. :) highly recommend!”

“Bob was an amazing sitter for our corgi and husky! He was on time for both the meet & greet and the actual booking, and was very professional and kind throughout the entire experience. He sent us multiple daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear both dogs were getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Our corgi usually gets extra emotional when we come home, but this time she seemed so happy and relaxed, which really showed us how well cared for they were. Our house was also left in great condition. We’re very happy with Bob and will definitely book with him again!”

“Thank you Tiffany for being so great with our pups. She saved us last minute when our sitter cancelled the day before our trip. She kept us constantly updated and sent tons of adorable pics. We felt very comfortable having Tiffany stay and look forward to having her for our next adventure.”

“Bella was amazing! It was our first time having someone stay overnight with our puppy and we felt soooo comfortable with leaving Lukas in Bella's care! She sent us so many photos and videos of them having fun together and left our house cleaner than before we left!”

About: I've owned and taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and many other pets since I was very young. I love animals and children and getting to work with them, and they also love me! I can't wait to meet your fur (or scale) babies! I'm currently going to college part-time, so I have plenty of available time in my day. I am flexible with all hours and can work around your schedule as needed. I treat your pets and your home just as I would mine. I will give your fur babies and your personal space the love and respect they deserve. We will go over any rules and boundaries ahead of time so I can ensure I follow them. If you ever have any issues you can bring them to my attention right away.

“Stephanie was amazing, took great care of our dog and two cats and provided regular updates/photos. Our dog can be nervous around new people and warmed up to her very quickly. Will definitely be using her services again. Thank you!!”

About: I am half way done with my schooling to become a veterinarian and have had 7 years working with animals in a professional setting. My experience and skills can come in handy if your pets need more help (medications, fluids, insulin etc). I also have 2 cats with heart issues myself so I am very familiar with handling special needs pets! I am currently on summer break from veterinary school which allows me to have a lot of free time to go and check in on your pets when needed. I currently don’t offer care for pets in my home but in emergency cases, I can easily crate your pet if needed and if your pet is crate trained.

“Oh my goodness. Lance was an absolute hero for me and my pups. I got stuck in the wrath of Hurricane Helene and couldn't get home for an extra day, but Lance was able to stay with them, giving me one less thing to stress about as I made my way home. Even without that heroism, though, he was incredibly thoughtful and thorough in his care for them. And they adored him.”

“Jeffrey was terrific. He made an appointment before the sitting date to meet our dog Annie and discuss housesitting. He showed up at the date and time we requested. He took our dog on a daily walk and she really warmed up to Jeffrey. We really appreciated that he did some household items like take out our trash, check our mail and any packages that arrived. Our house was as clean and picked up as when we left. Jeffrey even made sure to make the guest bed that he was staying! 😉 We would definitely hire Jeffrey again. We feel he is a very dependable and conscientious house sitter. When Jeffrey left at the end of the sitting appointment, Annie wanted to follow him outside. 😀 Obviously, Jeffrey has a great way dogs. Highly recommended.”

About: I've cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life; dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and fish, to name a few. I raised my German Shepherd/Husky mix Misti from a puppy, handling potty training and basic commands. I also care for my senior cat, Sam, who is 12 years old! I love walks, hikes, play, nature, and enrichment. I even trained my cat to high five! Your pet will be in experienced, loving hands. I'm currently available full-time with a very flexible schedule! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings or specific timing needs. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking all in your pet's own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow client routines closely and will provide updates throughout my visits. Your home and pet will be treated with care and respect.

“Jordan was absolutely the best! She was communicative and sent a lot of great photos of Charlie and Hudson. We knew they were having a wonderful time and in very good care with Jordan. We will definitely book Jordan as again for our next trips.”

“Phylicia is the best!! She took fantastic care of my dog when I had to go out of town for two days - she paid great attention to the special food/medicine instructions, his routine, and also his interests. Not to mention how her update photos are the best ever. It was so great knowing Porter was well cared for when I was gone - she truly spent the time with him, playing and walking and hanging out, and also left my house so super tidy! Will definitely be booking again.”
