Nikki is amazing! She was responsive and communicated very well before, during and after the stay. She followed all instructions well, and went above and beyond to spend more time with Kodi and help him during his walk when he was a little nervous. You can tell she has a great love of animals and passion for this, and our doggy was happy and well when we returned. We would highly recommend Nikki and would gladly have her take care of Kodi again next time we needed it.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very young, from my childhood dog to my own dog i adopted at 18. My sammie boy passed about a year ago and i’ve been needing some animal therapy without having to go through the heartbreak of having my own again. I would love to be your furry friends walking companion! I work full time Monday through friday 530 am-1:30 pm. I am available anytime throughout the week after 130 pm but i am flexible I have a large fenced in backyard, a 15 minute walk from the beach and I’m able to give as many updates as needed.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love them (sometimes more than people haha). Breeders have trusted me to nurse their dogs and puppies back to health, and I have experience caring for both young puppies and senior dogs with special needs. Since my latest beloved dogs, Jacques and Jinger, passed on, I have found so much joy in welcoming other wonderful animals into our lives. We are a young couple living in the heart of Oceanside, CA, within a very pet friendly community. A dog beach and walkable city area are nearby in addition to trails and parks, and we enjoy exploring with our visiting pals. As a professional photographer, I also often enjoy taking and sharing free, high quality photos of our furry friends, in addition to the usual updates with phone snaps that I send during our time together. It is our general rule to only care for one family at a time, so your pet will have the exclusive attention and focus while in my care, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Every dog is not just a dog but a member of the family. I understand every animal has their own personality and individual needs, and I would love to take care of, play, walk, and love on yours and hope to become their friend. ***Since relocating to Oceanside, we've paused our boarding services and I'm currently emphasizing drop-in visits, doggy day care, and dog walking! :) I work mostly from home and love caring for dog friends on my available days. I only host pets from one family at a time to make sure each visitor receives the best care and attention during their stay with us. For walks or drop-in visits my schedule is quite flexible. If a pup is with me for the day we will likely do a good amount of walking and play, I'll ensure they are provided water and any other details for their care is followed, and we'll simply have a fabulous day together :) We live in a very dog-friendly community with walking trails, parks, the ocean, and a dog beach nearby that we love exploring with our visiting pals, (with owner permission of course). Also, an emergency pet hospital is just 5 minutes away if ever needed, though thankfully we have never had to use it.

About: Hi! I’m Alicia, a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m a very active person and love getting outside, so your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and engagement during walks and visits. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for energetic dogs, shy pets who need patience, puppies who are still learning routines, and senior dogs who may need a gentler pace and extra care. Communication is very important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and at ease. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love the chance to meet your furry family member! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m already an active person who enjoys getting outside for walks and spending time with animals. I go on walks every day and genuinely enjoy incorporating dogs into that routine, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I make sure each pet gets the time, exercise, and affection they need so they feel comfortable and happy while their owner is away. Because I build pet care into my routine, I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions owners provide. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can keep their environment as consistent and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the pet and the space. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any care instructions carefully. I also make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I keep doors secured, stay aware of surroundings during walks, and prioritize each pet’s safety at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly so they feel safe and relaxed. I supervise pets closely and ensure they have a comfortable space to rest, play, and settle in. I also believe communication builds trust, so I send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: What sets me apart is how I approach care. I pay close attention to routines, instructions, and the details that help dogs feel settled and predictable day to day. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including seniors and dogs who benefit from consistency and structure. I communicate clearly, provide regular updates, and take pride in caring for both pets and homes with respect. I plan ahead, stay organized, and make sure expectations are aligned so everything feels smooth and well handled. I’m self employed and have a flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. I plan ahead, coordinate in advance, and accommodate care times that work well for both of us. I care for pets in their home where they’re most comfortable and settled. I follow established routines closely, including feeding, walks, medication and downtime. That way your pets experience has little disruption as possible while you are away. I pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and energy level and adjust care to help them feel at ease. Over time, I’ve learned that pets do best when their normal routines and environment are kept consistent. I’m respectful of your space and belongings and make sure everything related to pet care is handled thoughtfully and as instructed. I prefer advance planning and clear expectations so schedules, access, and routines are aligned and care feels smooth and predictable for everyone involved.

Jordan is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. When I was out of town she walked the dogs every day (including in the rain) and sent my family pictures so we could know that our girls were doing okay. We could not have left them in better hands 👏🏼 Thank you so much for taking care of our babies and making them feel safe while we were away -O

About: I go to the barn to ride horses 5 days a week and my dogs go with me everyday. I have a huge safe pen where they sleep and play for 3 to 4 hours a day. If your dog is more of a couch potato and would rather stay home I have a comfortable house with carpet, couch or crate to rest and enjoy the morning after a walk.

About: Hi! I'm Megan, and I’ve been caring for pets since I was 12 years old. I started with babysitting and tutoring, and over time, I added pet sitting for the families I worked with. Those families quickly became repeat clients, and I built lasting relationships with both the families and their pets. My love for pet sitting has only grown as I’ve interacted with more furry friends over the years! I’m a 24-year-old college grad who just moved to California from Boston and am eager to meet new pets and families. In my free time, I love going on hikes, visiting the beach, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I currently work full-time from home (Monday–Friday), which gives me a flexible schedule to give your pets all the attention they need during the day—whether that’s playtime, walks, or potty breaks! Services I Offer: * House sitting / pet sitting anytime during the week, as long as there's WiFi for my work computer * Personalized care to ensure your pet’s needs are met with love and attention * Available for meet-and-greets or FaceTime calls to answer any questions and discuss your pet's care I do not have any pets or children of my own at home, so your pet will get my full attention in a safe, welcoming environment. I’m excited to meet your pet and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away!

We just moved to the area and we left behind our wonderful rover in our home state, so we were nervous to try a new one here. We feel SO lucky to have found Candace and Tim! They have done a boarding for us and they also did a walk for us. They are amazing with our two pups and we will always be inquiring to book them whenever we need someone to care for them!
