This is the most welcoming and joyful home. One of the highlights is that my pup gets to play in secret paradise. You’ll understand if you book. I hope to reconnect with them soon. It’s so rare when the space and the family are absolute treasures.

About: I have experience working at doggy day cares, pet resort and hospital and I most recently have worked with a small pet sitting business where I walked dogs, fed and checked in on all types of pets, administered medication, was a pet taxi, wedding dog attendant and even sold “barkcuterie” boards! I work for in special education at an elementary school and just got out for summer break. I have open availability throughout the week and weekends! I am a very respectful, clean and organized person. I take pride in my attention to detail when it comes to being attentive to your pet and strive to leave things as they were or in better condition than I found them!

Pamela is a very sweet lady:) she took our Nova for a day and when we got there she slowly introduced her to the other dogs before letting her run. She is very cautious and handles the dogs very well. I would definitely recommend her services to others.

About: Dogs and cats have always been a huge part of my life growing up. I love all dogs from petite puppers to gentile giants. I am a HUGE dog person but I also have a large spot in my heart for all cats. I have flexible schedule job and I have time to provide proper pet care. I understand commitment to a furry family member that depends on for his or her health and well-being. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. An act as simple as refilling their food bowl at the same time every day is enough to make them feel comfortable in their living space.

About: From hike, treats, play dates and long runs. Be prepared for your pup to be well stimulated and exercised while you’re away. Fair warning, they may have a better vacation than yours ;) What sets me apart from your normal sitter is not just my love for dogs, but also my experience and special skills. Growing up I had a wonderful dog named Rosco who brought so much joy to my family for his 12 years on this planet. Although he's no longer with us, his goofy spirit lives on in our hearts. I want to spread that love and take care of other beautiful dogs, just like I did with Rosco. I have a knack for training puppies and providing dedicated care for senior dogs. I'll make sure to give your furry friend all the attention, love, and fun they deserve. Can't wait to meet them! 🐶💕 ****Please due note at this time I cannot accommodate dogs with severe separation anxiety that are prone to any excessive howling or barking out of respect for my neighbors******** Well, as a dog sitter, pet care is a top priority for me! Since I work remotely full-time, I have the flexibility to dedicate a lot of one-on-one time to your furry friend. It's not just a job for me; it's a passion. I make sure to incorporate regular walks, playtime, and cuddles into our daily routine. Your dog will receive all the attention and love they deserve while you're away. Can't wait to create a pawsome bond with your adorable pup! 🐶💕 Well, when it comes to caring for pets, I offer both in-home and client's home services. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease. I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. If I'm caring for pets in their own home, I ensure that their routines are maintained, including feeding, walking, and any specific care instructions. I make sure to give them plenty of love and attention, just like they would receive from their own family. Whether it's in my home or theirs, I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—starting with our sweet family dog growing up. Now, I share my home (and heart!) with two more pups I co-parent with my girlfriend: a small Shih Tzu and a senior mix, along with our youngest frenchie, Cleo. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for every pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or behavior changes. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and I’m always mindful of doors, gates, and other safety measures. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Availability: I do work a 8-5 Mon-Fri job. I am open to house sitting if your pup can be okay with me being gone during those hours. I work in the El Cajon area so if you’re close by, I could stop to check on your pup during my lunch break. I try to accommodate as much as possible 😊 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexible scheduling so your pet gets the attention they need—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, enrichment play, or bedtime cuddles. I work from home and spend most of my time indoors or outside on walks, so I’m able to provide consistent companionship, love, and care throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for your pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or changes in behavior. I never leave pets unattended outdoors, and I’m mindful about doors, gates, and anything that could pose a risk. I want your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for at all times.

It was clear that our 2 year old pup had a great time playing with Jessica's dog all day. She passed out on the couch right after dinner with no interest in training or treats, she was that tired (which we love for her). We look forward to having Jessica care for her more in the future.

She graciously agreed to watch Mini for my entire shift, which gave me such peace of mind. From the moment we arrived, Mini was overjoyed to see her, that alone spoke volumes! Berenice is attentive, kind, and clearly loves what she does. She allowed Mini to safely interact with her son, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. I highly recommend Berenice to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you so much from both Mini and me!
