“Excellent experience! May was super quick and easy to communicate with and everything went very well! Our anxious little dog was so happy at May's home with her and her dog – got lots of cute pictures throughout the day and updates and felt like he was in great hands! Will for sure be sending our pup over again soon!”
“We are very thankful we met Alana. She was amazing with our dog Buddy and he was comfortable staying in her home. Our dog is now a senior dog and we highly recommend Alana as she took good care of him. We look forward to having Buddy stay with her again soon!”
“Visiting San Diego with our 9 year old “pup”…we reached out to Zari to schedule two days to watch Pearl. Excellent and timely communication! The meet up and pick up were very easy and convenient. We would definitely recommend Zari, and would use her again for any future trips!”
About: With over 20 years of dog-loving experience, I’ve shared my life with pups of all shapes, sizes, and ages—from frisky puppies to wise seniors. While I currently don’t have a furry companion (after saying goodbye to my sweet little dog last year), my calendar—and couch—are ready for canine company! Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and entertain their pets, and I’m known for doling out head scratches and belly rubs as generously as treats. Your pup will get the VIP treatment and all the love they deserve! Pet care is my passion, and I love filling my days with walks and playtime. Since I live in an apartment, walk breaks happen frequently—perfect for pups with potty breaks or high energy needs! I set my schedule around your pets, ensuring they never feel rushed (and have time for that extra lap around the block). Most days, I’m home and flexible, ready for early morning or evening visits to suit your routine. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority. At my place, pets get a cozy, secure environment and plenty of attention—no overcrowding or chaos here! On walks, I stay alert for other animals and hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet at my apartment or in your home, I maintain a calm, clean space and keep you updated with photos and cheerful messages—you’ll rest easy knowing your furry family member is in caring, experienced hands!
About: My Fiancé, Olivia, and I have grown up around dogs all our lives. Olivia has had a Golden Retriever and English Springer Spaniel, while I grew up with a Border Collie, Cockapoo, and Mutt Lab. Over the past few years we’ve been watching our friends dogs and thought that this was a great way to get more puppy love. I am work from home, so I’m able to walk, play, and attend to the dog throughout the entirety of the day. Olivia is a teacher and at school during the day, but is around in the afternoons and on weekends. We are available most weekdays and some weekends to watch pets! We live in an apartment building, but I frequently go on walks and leave the building throughout the day. We can walk to dog beach if your dog is super social, or we can stay in the neighborhood, or go to Fletcher Cove to hang on the lawn.
About: Hi there! I’m a devoted dog lover who works from home and offers exclusive, one-on-one dog sitting. Your pup won’t be just another guest — they’ll be treated like family. For the past three years, I’ve cared for my own dog every single day — from daily walks and homemade meals to cozy cuddles and fun adventures. I believe every dog deserves to be spoiled, safe, and loved, especially when their humans are away. Since I only sit one dog at a time, your pup will get my full attention, constant companionship, and all the comforts of home. I am currently working from home and available for dog day care and boarding on weekdays. I have a 3 year old mini goldendoodle who might be your pup’s next best friend! My community is very dog friendly and I can provide the care based on your needs. I have a sweet dog to keep yours company too.
“Our dog had another great stay with Shuo - this time just for the day! When I dropped him off, he was so excited to spend time with Shuo and Dou that he barely noticed me leaving. When we picked him up, I could tell he had a great day! Thanks, Shuo!”
“Caroline is the best sitter I’ve ever had on Rover! She is so sweet and goes above and beyond to make sure you and your pup are happy with lots of updates along the way. Layla absolutely loves her and was always so excited to see her everyday. I wish we lived in San Diego so we could bring her for daycare all the time:)”
“Patricia was great! We were visiting from out-of-town and had made some last minute schedule changes... she was incredibly flexible and kind about it! She provided updates, pictures and videos while she had our dog. Would definitely use her again and highlyrecommend her. 🥰”
“Aliyah is extremely patient with my dog, who definitely is a handful! She goes out her way to my dog feel comfortable, including finding him special treats that he absolutely loved!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our two puppies. This is our first time leaving our puppies in the care of someone else and we feel very fortunate that we found a family that will love them like we do. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Pranjali is great! Henry had a wonderful time hanging out with her and her fur baby. She is kind and calm and I can tell really loves taking care of Henry. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Harriet had a fantastic day with Lena and the 2 other dogs she had for company today! She was very reliable with her communication and sent adorable photo updates. We also appreciate the time Lena took for our meet and greet, where her patience and love to care for everyone’s furry family members really shined through. Thank you again Lena; we’d love to use you again in the future!”
“Julie was AMAZING with Mochi. We did a meet and greet the day before, and I knew right away Mochi would be in good hands. Julie was super communicative, sent lots of updates throughout, and showed Mochi so love. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have years of experience caring for all types of animals but dogs have always had a special place in my heart. All types and personalities are welcome at my place and I am available for full time companionship. This includes keeping your dog company as well as exercising and entertaining puppies or dogs with more energy. I grew up with Rottweilers and love big dogs and have years of experience caring for Chihuahuas, Frenchies, and smaller specialty breeds so I am well versed in the different types of attention that dogs require to be happy and comfortable in their living environment. Not only am I comfortable with newborn puppies, but I also have many clients with senior dogs and I have no problem administering medication your pet may need. Once they get to know me, I guarantee your dog will consider me their home away from home where they can relax whenever you are busy or away. I work from home and take my role as your pets caretaker very seriously. Your pet will never be left along outside or around another animal unsupervised and I will be home full time to keep them company and ensure they are happy and healthy during their stay. My home is fully fenced in with a beautiful yard to provide outside and playtime. Dogs that enjoy being outside are welcome to hang out in my escape proof yard, but will be brought inside when I am not home or unable to supervise. The house has AC for the hot days and a special place for dogs to relax and hang out on the couch if they'd like.
“Our dogs have never clicked with someone so fast! Carina brings such a calm, caring, confident, fun and loving energy around all the time - Carina took care of our pups as we would, and made sure to communicate especially during their first stay over. We can wait until the next time we have to leave dog children behind, but we know they can’t wait to hang with Carina!!”

“Trisha is the best pet caregiver to my fur girl. Girlie waits for Trisha to walk her and Trisha never disappoints. When you choose her to care for your baby you won’t be disappointed she will give love when you can’t be there with them.”
