Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Mount Hope, San Diego, CA

“Paige was great! We came to San Diego with our pups on a trip and wanted to spend extra time away from our airbnb. She gave them some company and let them out. She sent me pictures while she was there and made us feel comfortable being away from our babies longer. Thank you!!”

About: Hi, I’m Aimi! I am here to provide the best experience for your bestie. Pets live their happiest life when they feel safe, understood, and cared for in their unique love language. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or extended sitting, I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re gone. I’m keen on details like feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and maintenance routine. As a a pet parent myself, I appreciate a communicative sitter, so I will provide updates and photos of your pet for a little ease of mind and an extra happiness boost from far away. I am in the neighborhood, so please send me a message and I will be right there to take care of your pet's every need. No request is too small, so just let me know your pet’s preferences, and I’ll gladly take care of it. 🐾 I'm currently between jobs, so this gig will helpful for bridging the gap during this layoff season. I have plenty of time and flexibility for your pet needs so let's help each other out. I’d like to get to know your pet by taking things at their own comfort level and gradually learning their likes and dislikes. I follow directions thoroughly and am attentive to detail. No detail is too small, so please just ask and I will take care of it for you!

“Rosa was fantastic with my dog and cat!! My dog isn’t the best with new people, but I appreciated her coming to do a meet and greet first. She was patient with him and built trust and he was super excited when she came to walk him! She did great and I appreciate her communication. She’s also super sweet in general and I will definitely book her again :)”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through personal and family settings, including feeding, walking, basic grooming, playtime, and providing companionship. I am attentive, patient, and mindful of each pet’s unique needs and routines. I understand the importance of safety, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. What sets me apart is my empathy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to observe behavior, respond calmly to challenges, and ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am highly adaptable, organized, and committed to following instructions closely while maintaining clear communication with pet owners. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I feel I can fit pet care into my weekly/daily routine because I’m free most of the time and Ive been looking for something productive too do that I’d actually enjoy I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment by following routines, paying close attention to each pet’s needs, and ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I handle pets gently, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their well-being, happiness, and safety at all times.

“This was our first time using Rover. Ivy did a great job checking in on our dog for the three days we were gone. I appreciated her detailed daily check in notes and photos! I also appreciated that when I first messaged to inquire if she was free for the job, she responded quickly and came for a meet and greet that day. I would reach out to Ivy again for future pet care.”

About: Hi, I’m Derek! I’m a huge animal lover — in fact, one of my favorite things to do while traveling is visiting zoos and aquariums, so caring for animals is truly a passion of mine. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, big or small, energetic or laid-back — I love them all! I also have two French Bulldogs of my own, both with different diets, so if your dog is a picky eater or has specific feeding needs, I totally get it and will make sure they’re taken care of! You can expect plenty of photos, updates, and lots of love while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like one of my own!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! With two French Bulldogs of my own, I’m already on a consistent schedule of walks, feeding times, and playtime every single day. Adding your pup to my routine is seamless — they’ll have structure, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available on weekday mornings, so if you’re heading to work, I’m the perfect fit to make sure your dog is well taken care of! Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I’m very organized and take my responsibilities seriously — I will never bring strangers into your home, so you can always feel confident that your space and your pet are fully respected.

You’ll receive regular photo updates and check-ins so you always know your pup is happy and in great hands. Trust and communication are everything to me!

About: Originally from Anchorage, Alaska I grew up outdoors and was raised around animals all my life. I am experienced, high energy, patient, capable, and incredibly loving. As a child we had both large dogs and cats; their feeding and walking was my responsibility. As a teen, I graduated to main care giver of our animals; including exercise, bathing, vet visits and training needs. Ive cared for both cats and dogs from birth, adulthood and senior ages. I’ve helped both cats and dogs give birth, and cared for groups of kittens and puppies. I’ve trained multiple dogs in potty training, socializing, leash, and command work. I am very comfortable with all sizes of animals, large and small. My companions now are a senior cat and dog. I’ve had my 14 y/o Aussy since he was a baby, and we’ve explored the world together, running, hiking and camping. We even roadtripped here from Alaska! My cat is a 16 y/o rescue that we got as an adult. She is small and mighty, and rules our house. I’ve traveled out of town to housesit for friends and family’s animals. I have regularly pet-sat 2 to 5 dogs at a time. And I enjoy a house full of love! Whether you have a high-energy pup that needs a good run and romp outside, or a sweet senior cat or dog that needs cuddle on the couch with a book, I am your lady. I’m a preschool teacher during the week and I have lots of free time in the afternoons, weekends and holidays! I’m free weekdays after 2:30 PM M-F. I also have numerous holidays, I would love to fill it with playtime with your animals! I have a pet-friendly apartment, and a easy-going Australian Shepherd to keep your pup company. We would love to spend time together cuddling on the couch, or at the dog park or beach!

About: I’ve had a lot of dogs in the past, and would also like to become a dog trainer one day. I hope to train something to the dogs I meet, even if it is just one day. Im currently unemployed and trying to go to school right now so I have plenty of time to spend with your adorable puppy’s I’m available anytime during weekends and weekdays. ☺️ I like going around balboa or just walking/playing around at the dog park I honestly just like spending time with my dog and just dogs in general it’s definitely my peace in life.

“My dog and I like Vanessa's energy and communication. She followed through with instructions and care as expected. Thank you!”

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease while they’re away, so I focus on creating a calm, loving, and familiar environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s unique personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or just want extra cuddles. What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every visit. Your fur baby won’t just be watched—they’ll be comforted, spoiled, and truly cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a student who does most of my work online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be attentive throughout the day. This means plenty of time for feeding, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and lots of cuddles. I’m able to adjust my schedule around each pet’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for rather than left alone for long periods. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, potty, medication, and playtime instructions closely, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own familiar space.

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️‍🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈‍⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available. (I understand sometimes things happen last minute and you need a trustworthy person to step in and care for your pet).

About: I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember and was a a pet owner myself once before. Friends when out of town have always looked to me to care for pets I am currently on vacation from my job and have loads of free time nothing would make me happier than spending it with friendly pets! When pets first arrived I usually give them time to get familiar with their new surroundings. Usually pets will tell you where they want to set up camp and I move accordingly. After I’ll start off with a walk than a feeding if per owner instructed

About: I believe that it is important to adapt to each dog's individual personality and preferences when caring for them. I have had experience all my life with my own, and family, pets of all shapes and sizes and can tell you for sure, one size does not fit all lol. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats so I'm confident in my ability to handle anything they throw at me. I'd love to get to know your pet as well :) I work from home so I am highly flexible and can fit your pet in my day at any time for your requested activities, or lack thereof haha I have pets at home, so if your pet prefers not making friends at this time, I can drop by or stay with your pet at their home!

“Monica is the best! My cat Pearl is an anxious baby but she warms right up to Monica and I know she is being well taken care of. I always get updates and cute pictures, and she goes above to make sure my Pearl girl is happy and comfortable. Thanks again! 🐈‍⬛🙏”

“Joanne is an angel! I’ve met with her before her pet drop ins started and felt immediately at ease- like we’ve known each other for a long time. My pup, Haku adored her! Joanne took good care of him when we’re away and communicates everything with me. She carefully follows instructions and did everything as told with respect! I would definitely book with her service again! She deserves more than 5 stars. Joanne, please stay nearby and keep in touch!!!”
