House Sitting 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).

“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!”

“Luis was able to help watch our 2 dogs on such short notice b/c of an emergency. We were relieved and felt so grateful that our boys were under such great care!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“It was a pleasure meeting Jaime. She took very good care of our Gionni at the Hotel del Coronado. She was flexible with the time and very responsive. We will be happy to work with her again the next time we visit San Diego.”

“Bella did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Rai! We were on vacation for 2 weeks and were very lucky to have Bella watch him. She quickly picked up on his daily routine and took him on multiple walks every day, and took him to his favorite dog park in the afternoons. She sent us pictures every day during our trip and he looked so happy! Bella kept the house tidy and organized, and gave Rai a bath before we came back so he was clean. It gave our family a big peace of mind to know Rai was being well taken care of and having fun every single day. I highly recommend to have Bella watch over your pet in the future!”

“This was our second time using Eli and he was great! Very good communication and daily updates with pictures of Kopi! I’m sure Kopi will be excited to see him again soon and know we feel very comfortable having Eli watch him!”

“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.”

About: I've worked at doggy daycares in the past, I've taken care of multiple friends' pets before, and I had the absolute pleasure of raising my own dog from a puppy until her death at the age of 13. I work a full-time 8-5 job, but I love taking care of pets after work, during my breaks, or on the weekends. On weekends and after work, I will stay for as long as you wish me to. I always make sure to ask what the pets favorite toys are, their feeding schedule, any medications they need, and if they have a walking schedule. I make sure to take them out to use the bathroom as frequently as possible, and make sure that they have plenty of water.

“Jen was wonderful with my pups while pet sitting for a week. She sent me daily updates, able to win over nervous pups, and took them for daily walks. My pups loved her! Jen was also a very respectful guest in my home. Highly recommended!”

“Luci is amazing! She is one of the most reliable sitters who truly cares for your pet. I had anxiety about leaving my pup but I quickly learned that my dog felt loved and comfortable to be around Luci! Excellent communication and adaptability to keeping to my pup’s routine and special needs! Will be using her again! Thanks Luci!”

“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.”

“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 grew up with my mom rescuing dogs and cats found in our neighborhood. Most of them were failed fosters. I grew up with 5 cats and 6 dogs, with my cat living with me up until my senior year of college until she passed. I always look forward to going home to seeing all of our animals! From big to small- from our cats to our dogs. Each one of them has their own personalities and needs. I have experience with kittens, senior cats, bigger dogs, small dogs, epileptic dogs, and young cats, I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability. I am available most weekends, mornings, and evenings. I am unavailable Monday nights and Tuesday mornings. I value safety with every pet. As a previous pet owner, I always would want someone’s pet to feel comfortable and safe with me and be able to create a good trust and bond!
