“Megan was great with our dog! She followed care instructions well and made our pup feel loved and cared for while we were away! She had great communication throughout the visit and went above and beyond to care for our dog! Thank you Megan!”

About: I've cared for pets countless times over the years 🐶, from family to strangers to close friends! I have experience with both calm and reactive dogs, and I’m familiar with common triggers and how to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe on every walk 🦴🐾. I'm a full-time college student 🎓, but my classes are fully remote with no required live lectures, giving me a super flexible schedule! If overnight care is needed, I can easily bring my laptop and get my work done while staying with your pup 🐕💻. There are always foster dogs coming and going in my home 🏠🐾, so I’m used to adapting quickly and staying super attentive to each pup’s unique needs. I’m mindful of my habits and surroundings to make sure accidents don’t happen, even when things could be unpredictable!
“Savannah is always great with our two cats! They aren’t the easiest cats to watch, and she does a great job. She is our go to sitter any time we are going out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Nikki was so flexible with our constantly-changing holiday travel plans. She came over beforehand for a meet and greet and it was immediately obvious that she is a cat person. Our cats came right up to her and she was so gentle with them. She took great care of our cats and kept in close contact throughout. 10/10 would recommend Nikki.”


“Luna is amazing!!!! I had a last minute family emergency and needed her to watch my cat for a few days and then ended up having to stay with my family longer and she had no problem accommodating and continuing to check in on my sweet Jojo. She sent me pictures and videos and my sweet baby looked so happy each time Luna came, I know she was treated with so much love and care I am SO thankful for Luna!!”

“Sam was great with helping my puppy get out and play while I was at work. Every day she took pictures of him for me, topped off his water, and played with him to help release his energy. I would highly recommend her for drop-in visits!”

“Justin took care of our beloved dog, Mia, while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with his exceptional service. He went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring that Mia was not only fed but also received plenty of love and attention. We are incredibly grateful for Justin's dedication and care, and we will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Justin, for your outstanding service!”

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience and grew up with three dogs—a Husky, Chow Chow, and Cocker Spaniel—so I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments. I genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and consistent communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and peace of mind so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet will never feel alone, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their specific needs, whether that’s extra potty breaks, exercise, or simply keeping them company and comfortable. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment with constant supervision, attention, and care. In your home, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I ensure doors and spaces are secure and never leave pets unattended for long. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have always loved caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had experience with golden retrievers, griffons, small dogs, cats, and currently live with a friendly husky mix, so I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving your pet plenty of attention and comfort. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and care they need. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm, and I’m happy to coordinate around each pet’s normal routine. Pets in my care will be treated like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including goldens, griffons, small dogs, cats, and a friendly husky mix currently in my home. I always prioritize safety, comfort, supervision, and keeping pets on their normal feeding, potty, and exercise routines.
About: I currently work with dogs full time, I grew up taking care of my family and friends animals while they were away. I studied animal science at URI and have experience with dogs ranging from pekingese to great pyrenees. I’m currently in a K9 section taking care of shepherds and malinois, I go in early so my evenings and weekends are completely free to take care of your furry companions. I will treat your house respectfully and make sure your fur baby(s) get all the exercise they need and make sure they’re fed.
About: As an animal owner for many years I’m often looking for reliable, loving, people to step in when I’m not available. Offering that service to my neighbors and community is a passion. I treat and respect companion animals with the same care as my own. 💕🐾 NAPPS Certified - March 2026 I’m a perfect person for busy working people who need mid-day check-ins and walks. Also, have a beautiful fenced safe yard for doggie day care. Time, patience and understanding of each pet and their individual needs are m priority. There are many wonderful ways to connect with pets. I offer walks, play time, and quiet time as needed. Treats, scratches, snuggles and positive reinforcement galore.
About: My experience includes puppies, 'good old dogs' and everything in between. Wiley, an expat from Tijuana, is our namesake (Wiley Wags) and the best sidekick. He's a three-year-old, 15 lbs mixed breed that loves to play with other dogs and is dousel with children. I enjoy lovin' on him and every dog in my care. I'm a stay-at-home mama, but my babes attend school, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup(s). While your fur baby/babies are in my care, I will be home with them aside from an occasional quick errand. My availability is very open and includes most holidays. Wiley Wags is located 20 minutes north of Legoland, west of the 5 and blocks to the beach. Your pet will enjoy ocean breezes during neighborhood walks. Keeping your furry friend safe and content are my top priorities while they stay with our family. Wiley is a great companion dog. We fall in love with all our four-legged friends at Wiley Wags.
About: I’ve always loved animals and started volunteering at a barn when I was 11, and worked there until I was 18. I cared for all kinds of animals including dogs and cats. I currently have a pug of my own :) I currently have open availability on weekends, and mornings (before 1pm) free Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Open for boarding and pet sitting on weekends, and dog walking or check ins during the week in the mornings. We live a 10 minute walk from the beach and have stairs. My pug and I go for lots of walks throughout the day. I offer a positive environment with lots of love and attention, and bring the same energy with me to in home care at clients homes. As a dog walker I am attentive to your dogs needs and behaviors, use positive enforcement, and redirection from unwanted behaviors.
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. 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. I have a back yard close to the beach and my back door is open until bed time Its a Very safe backyard since I live in the city of oceanside.

About: I grew up around animals and have always been comfortable caring for both dogs and cats! In college, I ran a pet-sitting business, gaining hands-on experience with walks, feeding routines, playtime, litter care, and making sure pets felt safe and comfortable while their owners were away. I am calm and attentive and have the ability to adapt to different pet personalities and needs, whether energetic puppies or more relaxed, routine-oriented pets. I focus on building trust with animals so they feel secure and cared for, not just watched. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! As a full-time teacher, I have a structured daily routine during the school year, which allows me to plan pet care responsibilities around mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m consistent and organized with my time, so I’m able to reliably provide care before and after work, as well as give pets focused attention during my free time. During the summer when I’m off, I have even more flexibility and availability for longer stays or more frequent care. Overall, I’m used to balancing responsibility and routines, which translates well into providing dependable and attentive pet care. I care for pets by keeping their routines as consistent and comfortable as possible in their own home or mine. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any special needs, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I’m very mindful of each animal’s personality—some need extra activity and stimulation, while others prefer a calm, quiet environment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for so their owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Jordan has been doing a great job with Dexter. She's very reliable, always communicates clearly, and keeps me updated regularly. Dex is usually quite shy around new people, but he warmed up to her surprisingly quickly, which says a lot. I really appreciate the care and consistency she brings—it's been a big help.”

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. 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: I’ve had pets my whole life and have been pet sitting for 3 years. I’ll treat your pet like my own! I offer walks, playtime, cuddles, feedings, and baths if needed. 🐾 I have a flexible, open schedule which allows me to dedicate as much time as needed to caring for your pet and keeping them happy and comfortable. I live in a spacious home with a friendly and lovable golden retriever. We don’t have a fenced yard, but I always use a leash, go on daily walks, and visit fenced dog parks nearby. Kennel-trained pets are welcome! And I can send daily updates and photos of your pet :)

Megan took great care of our four dogs. She was on time for every visit and sent photos and a detailed summary each day. I appreciate her understanding of dog behaviors as one of our dogs is anxious, even with people he knows. Our dogs were happy to have her visit!

Elle was so amazing! She took great care of my corgi, Titan, while I couldn’t be with him, and she was so easy to work with! She was kind, timely, and good with Titan, and she always left me with good reports, pictures/videos, and texted me if she ran into problems. Titan was thrilled to get to play with her, and she made him feel at home during my absence. I would absolutely hire her again! 😀

Luna is amazing!!!! I had a last minute family emergency and needed her to watch my cat for a few days and then ended up having to stay with my family longer and she had no problem accommodating and continuing to check in on my sweet Jojo. She sent me pictures and videos and my sweet baby looked so happy each time Luna came, I know she was treated with so much love and care I am SO thankful for Luna!!

Book this young lady, she is so good! My cat, Buddy, is very wary of strangers, especially if I’m gone, but it took only a short time for Buddy to warm up to Samantha. She was so patient with him and did not push him to come out of his hiding spot until he was ready. He did not miss a meal because of that patience. Within a short time, he was being very loving with her, which made me happy. She is punctual communicative and extremely reliable. Book her!

Absolutely fantastic drop in sitter for my cat. 100% recommend & she will remain my #1 choice when I go out of town. Her professionalism was my first impression. When she came to my apartment to get the key and meet my cat, she brought a notebook to keep track of all the info she needed to remember. My cat also decided it would be "funny" to play a game of hide & seek in my house while I was away. Victoria genuinely cared enough to check everywhere (including with neighbors) & even changed her schedule to find her just in case my cat had become lost outdoors. She notified me quickly about the situation and was fully transparent about what had happened. (Thankfully, my girl eventually came out of hiding when her name was called!) There are not enough genuine and trustworthy people in the world whom you could trust with your beloved pet but Victoria certainly is one of them!

Rachel was so professional and sweet with our Spencer! We could trust her to show up on time, give him the type of walk he needed, and see lots of cute pictures of their time together. I'll definitely be getting in touch with her again when we need any more puppy walks!

Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with Watson! She was attentive, thoughtful, and kept me updated so I never had to worry while I was away. It meant so much knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. I’m so grateful for her care and would recommend her a thousand times over. Thank you again!
