“Sydney is the greatest. Because of work, I have to travel for long periods of time, which means leaving my cat at home alone. I always worry about him and feel guilty, but Sydney truly gives me peace of mind knowing that she will take care of him in my absence. She sends great notes of each visit and plenty of photos. She is always on-time and I always come home to my house exactly as I left it! Highly recommend Sydney!”


“Michelle is an absolute joy to work with! She helped me out last minute to watch my cat and was so accommodating, professional, and kind. She took wonderful care of my cat and clearly gave her lots of playtime and attention. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“My pup is incredibly special to me, and I’m very particular about who I trust to take care of him. Samantha’s service blew me away! She is so detail-oriented, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about my little guy. She kept me updated on everything and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. My pup has certain quirks, and she handled each one with patience, love, and care. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver!”


About: I’m a natural with animals and provide attentive and active walks for your dog. I am gentle and patient yet firm and assertive in my doggy communications. I will always be alert and intune to the behaviors, needs and environmental stimuli of your dog during our walk. Safety, fun, and exercise are my main priorities! I have two amazing fur babies of my own who came into my life as rescues and have enriched my life with playfulness and love. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds and would love the opportunity to get to know your doggy better and learn their preferences. I have learned through my own experiences with my dogs and their dog walker that a tired dog is a happy dog. So I look forward to finding the right walk routine for you and your dog. I’m a stay at home mom with kids in school full time so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for walks, dog boarding or drop in visits I have a 2 bedroom home in North Park that is conveniently located next to a dog park, playground and trails near Balboa Park. Crate available if needed.

“I appreciate Danielle so much for taking great care of our Cinnamon! She is professional, kind, and quick to respond if you have any questions or requests. Thanks Danielle, you are a rockstar!”


About: I grew up with cats dogs birds and fish and offer pet care to my fellow coworkers who are stuck at work for long hours often. I keep constant communication and open to suggestions to keep your pet on a schedule and routine that you prefer. I have a flexible schedule, currently working 2 to 3 days per work and looking to fill some of my free time around more animals. I can make sure to leave your pet back home in a safe environment making sure theres nothing they will get into before you get back home with your loved ones.

About: I am an animal care specialist for the U.S. Army. I have 8 years of veterinary experience. I have worked in veterinary clinics for 7 of my 8 years. I am currently working with marine mammals. I love my job and I love all animals! I have had veterinarians who took interest in animal behavior so I take a special interest in that as well. I don’t just want to care for your pets while you’re gone I want that to have someone they can trust and love. Pet care will fit into my routine as requested by the client. Basic needs being Am and PM potty break, and feeding. I am absolutely able to do walks, medication, or anything else upon request. I will be able to let pets out for bathroom breaks before I go to work and after work. If the pet(s) need to be let out at lunch this can be requested and discussed during booking! I like to have a home meeting before it is time for me to pet sit at your home. This allows me to meet and understand the behaviors of the pet(s) in their natural state, give them an opportunity to get familiar with me and get my bearings of the home. I will respect any of the client wishes for play, walk, sleeping, and feeding. I am able to assist with pets that may have more demanding medical needs or medication schedules.


“Julia was amazing. I needed someone to check in on my pups at the last minute while I was away and she was so accommodating on such short notice. She took great care of all three dogs, she was communicative, punctual, patient and really wonderful to work with.”


About: I've taken care of pets for 10+ years. Dogs, cats and aquatic animals. I have two dogs of my own that I love very much and take very good care of. I know how important it is to find people you trust with your pets, so I'm here to provide the same care I would give my own pets. I am a huge animal lover and would do anything to make them happy. I'm here to walk and play with your fur babies :) I'm very active and flexible with time. Willing to spend as much time as they need to make them happy. I have a fenced backyard and 2 friendly dogs of my own. It is an inviting space, if needed. I can also crate animals. I am very respectful of other's spaces if I need to go to someone's home.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I found Clara! She was absolutely amazing with my dog—super gentle, caring, and attentive. She arrived right on time and really listened to all the things I wanted her to be mindful of. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, and my dog felt comfortable with her right away. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Thank you, Clara!”


About: Volunteered at a shelter, walked every type of dog imaginable. Can give meds, brush, snap a poop pic if needed. I watch dogs, not screens. I’m available for drop-ins and walks between 7 AM and 8 PM daily. My schedule is flexible, so I can usually accommodate last-minute requests too. I look after pets in their familiar space and stick to their routine. I send updates, respect your home, and keep tails wagging with care.

About: Hi! I lost my childhood dog, he was a rescued that needed a lot of care and time and I’m looking to find a way to cope with his departure. I enjoy walks and spending time with animals. Additionally, I’ve volunteered at shelters previously where I got to interact with a lot of dogs and cats! I work from home and have a really flexible schedule. Spending time with animals really help me cope with the stressors of work so I tend to be very caring towards them! I will follow your instructions - so please provide me with an in detailed rundown for your pet and I will do my best to follow it.

About: Hi! My name is Ashley. I have grown up with pets all my life from dogs to rabbits to chickens to reptiles and am an absolute animal lover! I love walking especially around North Park and would love to include your pets as well! I recently graduated with my masters and am an athletic trainer! The job search is a little rough right now so currently I currently work 1-2 days a week at an office but mostly I am free all the time for you and your pet! If I came to your house, I always leave the place spotless and better than how I found it! Nothing is better than coming home to a clean house especially if someone is staying there! If the pet came to my house, I have a fenced in yard as well as live by a huge park. Since I have a senior dog, he gets along with every dog!

“I requested Tanya last second over the holidays and she was SO flexible and incredible to work with. She went above and beyond for my babies and gave me very detailed updates with lots of pictures! They got a ton of snuggles and I came home to very happy boys 🥰 rebooking her for the future every chance I get!!”


About: Hi! I’m Maia and for as long as I can remember I have always had a love for animals. When I was old enough, my parents allowed me to completely train/raise one of our family dogs, a Bernese mountain dog. I learned how to be responsible for another beautiful living creature at 10 years old, and many of our friends and neighbors trusted me to do the same for their fur babies. Since I can remember, I have volunteered with all sorts of animals sanctities (marine animal facilities, dog pounds, horse rehabilitation centers, etc). I truly have a love and respect for all furry friends and am looking forward to helping where I can! I adore spending time with animals and giving them the attention and care they deserve when mom or dad is away. I’m currently available on weekdays from 9AM-4PM and weekends which gives me the perfect flexibility to help your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just a calm, steady presence, I’m here for whatever your furry friend needs. I’m known by my friends and family as super responsible, calm under pressure, and deeply empathetic — especially with animals. I treat every pet like my own, tuning into their energy and making sure they’re both happy and safe. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can support you both.

About: I grew up in a dog family and have been looking after dogs since I was 9 year olds. I’ve been cat sitting for a few vacationing friends for the past 12 years. I’ve had my own pair of rascal cats for 4 years. I’m currently working part-time and have a fixed schedule, so I have enrichment time to spare. Dogs warm up to me easily and I like long walks. I ask a lot of questions to make sure we’re on the same page about your pets’ schedule, needs, little quirks, and your expectations. And I’m open to questions as well.

About: Hi my name is Alexa! I am a project manager at a ship yard in Downtown San Diego. I grew up in Temecula California and constantly had both cats and dogs in my life. I’ve cared for both big and small dogs, but currently have one dog Mac (cattle mix). I love taking Mac to the dog beach, dog park, and just on walk around the neighbor. Ive grown up walking and caring for my neighbors and roommates dogs who also had any where from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I would love the opportunity to walk, feed, and care for your pet and will care for them as if they were my own.... I just want to hang out with your pet! :) I am currently working full time in down town San Diego but am able to take breaks if needed to take your pets out on walks or check in on them. I will happily follow all of your instructions for sitting at your house or taking your dogs on walks! I know not all dog personalities are the same so will adjust to your pets needs :)
