“Justine is amazing! She does a lot of fun activities with out dog, sends updates throughout the day and is great at communicating. 100% recommend!”


About: I’ve always had both dogs and cats throughout life. With two dogs and a cat of my own, I am well trained in taking care of pets needs. I have experience with puppies and dogs with special medical needs. I also have experience with special needs diets and administering medication. I am working full-time from home. I go into the office for a bit on Tuesdays, but live near the office so I am able to come home and take dogs out on my lunch break. I have two dogs that I take to our dog park about every 3-4 hours and have a safe balcony for dogs to enjoy sunbathing while I’m working. I have a dog park that we go to several times a day. I have two dogs both Havanese/Maltese mix who are used to other dogs in our home and a Maine Coon cat that gets along well with other dogs. Pets are welcome on all the furniture and the bed so it’s appreciated if they get a bath prior to boarding. I’m happy to kennel your dog if that is what you prefer as well.

“Megan took very good care of Duke. She took him for a nice long walk. We would use Megan again!”


“Misty and Custard enjoyed their daycare at Alexa’s. We will definitely come back again to use Alexa’s services. She was very caring and we could tell she truly is a dog lover.”


“Angel was so great! Easy to communicate with and was flexible with our schedule. She took care of our little guy so well, went on walks, played with him, and sent us plenty of updates and photos! She is very reliable and we would highly recommend!”


“Fantastic sit! Owen had a great time with Kelsey’s pups and she made sure to distract him when I left since he has a hard time with that :) Thank you, will book again!!!”


“Thank you Vanessa! Archie was in great hands and Vanessa was very communicative throughout coordinating beforehand and on the day when she watched him. ??”


“Bianca is the BEST! She’s been watching my puppy Josie for the past couple of weeks and Josie absolutely loves her. Bianca always responds quickly and is so good to Jo. I will definitely be using her again and I always know Jo is well taken care of :)”


About: After 3 years of careful consideration and reflection, I became a dog dad to a sweet, energetic, (slightly spoiled), German Sheperd mix. I know how important she is to me, and will undoubtedly treat any dogs in my care with similar love and attention. I work from home; currently, my life revolves around my dog’s needs, and I would be taking care of her alongside any other pets in my care. I wake up early (7am) to walk her, then either walk her or drive to a dog park at lunch time, then another walk in the evening at a large park where she can run around and play fetch or with another dog. My apartment is decently sized for a 1 bedroom in SD. Normal Heights to be exact. When we are not out walking or playing outdoors, they will be in the company of my sweet dog, Luna, who loves other dogs! There are also big (secure) windows facing the front of the apartment complex where the dogs can people watch as I get some work done. I also have a small, fenced in yard with turf the dogs can lounge in.


“Gladys was a wonderful host for my Layla girl! Gladys' kind spirit and attentiveness to my pup's needs made me feel reassured that she would be well taken care of. Layla came home a happy puppy after her daycare, and I would recommend Gladys for your Pup care needs. Thank you!”


“Alex took great care of Lucky for our first daycare visit. He looked happy and relaxed when he came home. It makes me very comfortable with Alex boarding him in October. John P”


About: ••• Pet care experience ••• Ever since I was a child, I have been immersed in the world of pet care. From an early age, I grew up surrounded by a wide range of animals, including dogs, hamsters, and birds, as beloved members of my family. This lifelong exposure has given me a deep understanding of the unique needs and quirks of different pets. With my 2 year-old Miniature Schnauzer, Louie, who I've had since he was 8 weeks old, I've honed my pet care skills. Raising him has provided firsthand experience in daily responsibilities like feeding, walking, grooming, and fostering companionship. What sets me apart further is my genuine love and passion for animals. I approach every pet with warmth, patience, and a genuine desire to make their experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I take pride in my ability to provide exceptional pet care, and I look forward to creating a wonderful experience for your furry friend. ••• My Schedule ••• Weekdays: Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide your dog with continuous care and attention. From day to night, I'll ensure your furry friend enjoys walks, playtime, and cozy cuddles. Weekends: From neighborhood walks to visiting local parks, your pup becomes a part of the weekend fun. If a relaxed weekend is preferred, they can enjoy the comfort of my home, accompanied by my dog, Louie. ••• Safety ••• Ensuring safety, building trust, and creating a secure environment are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. From understanding specific dietary needs to maintaining a familiar and comfortable atmosphere, I strive to create a trustworthy and secure space for your beloved furry companions. Your pet's safety and happiness are top priority, providing you with peace of mind while you're away.

“Jimmy had another great day with Olya! He had a good time playing with the other dogs and going for a walk. He's currently zonked out on the couch from his busy day. Thanks!”


“Myra took great care of our Zoe during Halloween weekend. She took her on many adventures during the weekend of her stay, and Zoe was tired and happy when we picked her up both days. Myra did such a great job and sent us pictures during the day. I'm really happy with the care that she provided to Zoe.”


“Sabrina watched my puppy, Zoro for a few days and was great. She provided plenty of pictures and took him on lots of walks. Would definitely use again.”


“Brooke was amazing! She kept us updated and sent out pictures of Moxie. Moxie is an anxious dog and I was worried, but she did good with Brooke. She is currently sleeping like a baby, so I know she enjoyed her time with her. We will definitely be booking with her again soon!”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with a big black lab named Ringo and two calico cats. I love animals and miss caring for them, but I do not want to adopt them just yet since I am unsure what my future holds. I love walking dogs and cuddling up with friendly cats. I just graduated from UCSD and have much more free time. I am currently working two part-time positions that are very flexible and can make time for dog walking and hanging out with some cats. I will give full attention to your pet whenever they are in my care. Caring for a pet is more than ensuring they are fed on time to me. It includes bonding with the animal and building a safe and happy environment for them to thrive.

“Jimmy had a great time playing with other dogs and going to the park. He came home happy and exhausted. Glad to know we have reliable daycare for him.”


About: My life was made better at 10 yrs old when I got my first pup! Since then, I have had experience taking care of an elderly pup (my family’s late good boy Sidney), as well as, adopting and training an 8 week old puppy on my own (Honey). I usually take my pup on a long walk each day and often bring her to the dog park across the street from our home. I also love bringing Honey to the beach - swimming fetch is her favorite! I WFH Friday & Monday and am in-office Tuesday-Thursday. My office is 10 minutes from my house so I can very easily come home on my lunch hour for extra walks if necessary. 😊 We have a large apartment (1400 sq ft) for playing & my 50 lb golden mix Honey will share her toys and keep your pup company. I have a crate available if you prefer your pup is crated when I’m not home. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate your pups needs! We will prioritize exercise, fun & snuggles to make sure your pup is happy and comfortable. 😍

“Kacey was awesome! Quick to respond to communication, I got lots of pictures even though I was only gone for 5 hours, and my pup got a good walk and cuddles in the down time. Would happily have Kacey watch Ember again!”

9. Rafael R.
“Rafael has been a great help for me and Milo! As a busy college student, I initially struggled with maintaining my curricular as well as caring for my dog, Milo. Rafael played a crucial role in making sure I could balance both! I could rely on Rafael to stop by and tend to Milo's morning routine if I was late to class and many over night stays when I had to cram for exams. As a Maltese, Milo had a decent amount of grooming needs like tear stains and long non shedding hair, but Rafael was able to accommodate all of Milo's needs. Milo clearly adores Rafael and the both of us would definitely recommend Rafael and his services!”

If your cats warm up to strangers slowly I promise you they’ll be Sally’s best friends at the end of her care.”
