About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs. My wife and I currently share our home with Callie, our friendly 8-year-old terrier mix who loves meeting and playing with other pups. We also cared for our beloved Daisy for 17 wonderful years. We treat every dog like family—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of fun. I work from home, so your dog will have company and supervision for most of the day. I typically take dogs for a daily lunchtime walk and can provide frequent backyard play and potty breaks. A few times each week, we visit local dog parks or dog-friendly beaches for dogs who enjoy those outings. If your dog prefers quieter activities, we’re equally happy taking an extra walk or enjoying relaxed playtime at home. Our one-story home has a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy fresh air. We have plenty of cozy dog beds and create a comfortable, supervised environment indoors and out. There is one flight of stairs at the entrance, but everything inside is on one level. We take time to follow each dog’s feeding, medication, exercise, and comfort routines closely. For everyone’s safety, we can only care for dogs who are not aggressive.
“I inquired about a last-minute booking, and Gabrielle was incredibly accommodating and flexible with the schedule. She also took great care of everything, being very meticulous with feeding. Thanks to her sending photo and video updates so quickly and frequently, I was able to fully enjoy my time with total peace of mind. She is a wonderful and sweet sitter! ❤️”

“I'm so happy I found Brannon on here. He's so kind and caring, and my little guy gets excited when he sees him. I can tell Brannon truly loves and cares about animals and gives them the love and attention they deserve. I highly recommend him!”

About: Aloha! I’m May, your go‑to dog sitter who treats every pup like family. Located right in Mission Valley off the 163 freeway (by Fashion Valley Mall) I’m based right here in San Diego with a cozy, dog‑friendly home, a fully gated yard, and — pup favorite alert — the trolley literally stops at my house, which means built‑in excitement, enrichment, and endless tail‑wagging entertainment. I specialize in young puppy dog care, senior dog care, and helping dogs feel safe, confident, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your pup needs structure, patience, medication reminders, or just someone who understands their quirks, I’ve got them covered. I’m also a proud dog mom to Von, my Dachshund‑Terrier mix with main‑character energy. Also, it's important to note Von is NOT fixed. He’s friendly, social, and loves having new buddies over for sleepovers. Your dog will enjoy a calm, happy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and supervised outdoor time. With me, your pup gets: 🐾 A safe, gated yard for zoomies 🌞 Daily walks + enrichment 🐶 Puppy training support 💛 Senior dog patience + comfort 📸 Photo updates so you never miss a moment 🏡 A warm, clean, loving home environment 🎉 Trolley‑watching adventures (trust me, dogs LOVE this) I’m here to make your dog feel at home, keep their routine steady, and give you total peace of mind. When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like royalty — because that’s exactly what they deserve. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home and have the flexibility to give each dog plenty of attention throughout the day. My home is spacious, calm, and fully fenced, so pups can safely explore, sunbathe, or play whenever they want. I take regular breaks to walk, train, or check in with the dogs, and I love incorporating enrichment into their day. The trolley even stops right at my home — a fun little highlight the dogs always get excited about. Because I’m home full‑time, your pup gets consistent supervision, affection, and a steady routine that keeps them happy and relaxed. Safety, trust, and comfort are the foundation of how I care for pets. Whether a dog stays in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, structured, and supervised environment where every pup feels secure. In my home: I have a spacious layout that allows dogs to relax, explore, and settle in without feeling overwhelmed. My yard is fully gated and secure, giving pups a safe space for outdoor time, sunbathing, and play. I work from home, so dogs are never left alone for long periods — they get consistent supervision, affection, and routine. I also keep doors latched, food stored safely, and use baby gates when needed to manage space and keep everyone comfortable. The trolley stops right at my home, which adds a fun enrichment moment the dogs genuinely enjoy.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and own a large German shepherd of my own! Your pet will be in good hands with me! Currently freelancing so I can be flexible with part and full time sitting duties depending on your needs and schedule. Let me know what works best for you! Pets are looked after consistently as if they are my own. As a work from home person, I am completely available and ready to assist.
About: Your pet is family and I treat them that way. I've spent 10+ years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs, including seniors, special needs pups, and pets requiring oral or injected medication. I take that responsibility seriously and follow your routines to the letter. I'm based in San Diego and love exploring everything this city has to offer like beach walks, neighborhood trails, and Balboa Park, and your dog gets to come along for all of it. Since I have no pets of my own, your animal gets my complete, undivided attention from the moment they arrive. Whether your pup needs extra patience, medical care, or just someone who will love them like you do, I've got them covered! A quick note: I work from home, so dogs who are generally calm tend to be the best fit. If your pup tends to bark a lot at noises, visitors, or being left alone, it might not be the smoothest match. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I have dedicated availability throughout the week and structure my days around making sure every animal in my care gets consistent attention, timely walks, and plenty of love. I am not juggling a busy office schedule or rushing home after a long commute. When your pet is with me, they are my priority and my day is built around them. I follow your instructions exactly. Please send over your pet's routine, any medical needs, feeding schedule, and quirks and I will stick to it. I am experienced with medication administration both oral and injected, and comfortable with dogs who need extra care or patience. Your peace of mind matters as much as your pet's happiness.
“Derya K. was excellent with our Cockapoo who stayed at her house. She played with our pup, walked him, and gave him his dinner. She sent lots of photos and videos so I could see that he was having a good time.”

“Moose loved his time with Spencer! We really appreciated the flexibility with our uncertain schedule and all of the photo updates we got! We’d trust him with our Moose anytime!”

About: I am able to handle pets of all ages, sizes, activity-levels and needs. I can train puppies, care for senior or disabled dogs, administer medication, and match energy levels with active dogs who need long walks or runs. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like my own :) I work from home full-time and am able to spend the full day with your furry friend. I can accommodate my schedule to your animals’ needs for feeding, exercising, and quality time. I am respectful of any home and animal I care for, always following the owner’s instructions and routines. I practice no-fear handling (as I’ve learned through volunteering at SD Humane Society). I pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs, body language, and comfort level to ensure they feel safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, or quiet cuddles, I create a calm, loving environment and treat every pet like they’re my own.
“Incredible care! I was traveling to town for school and she was not only available at the last minute, but very responsive and communicative. Very good with my girl Nala. And very reliable. Will absolutely book again!”

About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog (does not live with me). I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!

“Courtney is my number one choice for a dog sitter. She made sure my dog was cool in this summer heat. My dog came back a happy tired every day. Ali was happy to see her at every drop off. Courtney was able to take us in last minute and was communicating throughout my dog’s stay. Highly recommend Courtney for pups that thrive off one on one time, fun games and walks.”

“Lara was absolutely the best at taking care of our pup Perseus. He got along well with her, she knew how to make him comfortable in a new place, and she sent pictures and videos during the day care.”

“Alvin was able to accommodate my puppy last minute which I was grateful for. He is very responsive and a great communicator. I received updates and photos throughout the day which was appreciated. My puppy seemed to have had a great time and came home tired which is always a good sign! I would highly recommend him as a sitter!”

Lara was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog, Cheeba! Cheeba is very sweet but also a little timid and definitely a lap dog, so I truly appreciated how loving, patient, and attentive Lara was with her. The updates throughout the day were also so appreciated and gave me such peace of mind knowing Cheeba was happy and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Lara to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! Thank you so much, Lara! ❤️

Yantian is so amazing with Bobi. We booked last minute with Yantian for our trip in SD and Yantian was very accommodating; and showed great kindness and patient with Bobi. They updated us throughout the day with lovely pics and made sure our pup was well fed and entertained. Special thanks to Sesame for being a sweet pal!

Courtney is my number one choice for a dog sitter. She made sure my dog was cool in this summer heat. My dog came back a happy tired every day. Ali was happy to see her at every drop off. Courtney was able to take us in last minute and was communicating throughout my dog’s stay. Highly recommend Courtney for pups that thrive off one on one time, fun games and walks.

Beatrice and Brian were so kind meeting us and giving us updates on Lady. They even sent us away with some treats. Their location is perfect if you're trying to catch a Padres game or at a convention nearby. I'll definitely reach out to them again if I'm in downtown SD!

Sandra was beyond amazing and by far the best day sitter experience we’ve ever had on Rover. Gizmo was extremely well taken care of and loved while he was in her care, and she sent the cutest updates and pictures throughout the day. Cannot recommend her enough!

Raquel and her partner are amazing and incredibly professional! We needed someone to watch our recently adopted rescue for a few hours each day while we were in town doing touristy things and attending concerts. Their communication was excellent, and their flexibility with our schedule—especially some of our later pickups—was very much appreciated. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about leaving our sweet girl with someone we didn’t know. But after the meet and greet, I had zero worries and knew Patsy would be in great hands. I was able to thoroughly enjoy our outings without stressing about how she was doing. Patsy was excited to be dropped off and always came home a happy girl! She got plenty of potty breaks, and Raquel adapted to all of Patsy’s little quirks with ease. It was clear that Patsy felt comfortable and well cared for. We’re so glad we found Raquel and will absolutely book with her again whenever we’re in the area! I highly recommend her and her partner to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and professional sitters.

I can’t say enough great things!!! Hollyanne and Donovan came through for me in a last minute booking. Hollyanne is so friendly and sweet! I got the cutest picture updates of Summit having the BEST day ever. At pickup I got a very happy and sleepy puppy. I will recommend them to everyone I know and will definitely book with them again!
