“We’ve used Heather a few times now and the pups are always very happy with her. They go on adventures every day and she sends lots of pictures. Would highly recommend!”


“Kristen did an amazing job watching our energetic and food-crazy Labrador. She stayed in our home and we felt so comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. She sent daily check ins and photos. Also she was so respectful of our home and left it spotless. She even washed her sheets, towels and ran the dishwasher/put the dishes away before leaving! She was on time, always very prompt in replies to texts, and even made sure our packages were brought in and kept safe from our curious doggy. Won’t hesitate to use her again in the future!”


“Jinni is great! We weren’t sure how our toy poodle would handle spending time with a stranger (he can be a little shy and this was our first booking). We were so happy to see him hanging out on her lap shortly after we left! Clearly Jinni’s calm, easy energy made him feel right at home. :) Highly recommend!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Amy was truly a dream. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She followed all of our instructions to a T—kept up with our pup’s training, stuck to her schedule, took her on long, enriching walks, and made sure she got plenty of love and structure. We received thoughtful daily updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Not only was our dog incredibly well cared for, but our home was left spotless and orderly—it honestly felt like we came home to a reset space. She met our needs and then some. We would book with her again in a heartbeat and feel so lucky to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend!”



“Debbie is awesome. She watched our dog and house for 9 days and we came back to a spotless house and a happy pup. He sometimes eats his paws from anxiety when we are gone and everything was perfectly in tact :) She even left a fan at ground-level for him because it was a hot day. She really cares and it shows. Thank you, Debbie!”


“Camille is the absolute BEST! We were nervous about leaving our 2 fur children at home with anyone other than family. Within a few minutes of meeting Camille, we just knew she was “the one” :) Easy to talk to, kind, energetic, amazing with our dogs, great thorough planner and communicator. Camille took wonderful care of our pups and our home for several days. Our dogs are 2 extremes - 1 big and older, 1 small and bouncing with energy. They both did great while we were away and obviously loved her. We will definitely be calling Camille again to watch our babies!”



“This was our second time using Patricia- she's excellent! Great communication and daily updates and pictures of George. This time she took him to sunset cliffs, he always looks so happy! Patricia takes such good care of our home we can never tell she was even there! Thanks again, Patricia!”



“Colin made it possible for us to have a four-day weekend getaway without any stress or worries about our fur babies. My wife was somewhat anxious and debated about canceling our plans, but once we met Collin she was no longer worried! When we did our meet and greet, we knew right away that he was the right choice. Collin is professional and expressed a sincere interest in taking care of our dogs. Once we left, he sent us a photo of their first walk; this made us super happy and gave me peace of mind. Through out the trip he would send us updates and send us pictures. He fed them on schedule and took them on their routine walks every day! He even gifted them a toy! That was super sweet. Collin went above and beyond for sure! We returned to our house, hugged our dogs and even found our patio looking more tidy than before. Collin is definitely our first and second choice for taking care of Puggy and Coco. These days it’s hard to trust anyone, but people like Collin gives us hope that there are trustworthy, caring, and genuine people. Thank you Collin for being there for Puggy and Coco! P.s. he even fed our mice trio and watered our plants! ~ JC ‘n Caya”


“Alina jumped in short notice to help us out when our longer-term house sitter had an issue with her dates, and she did great with our disabled dog and elderly cat. Our dog wears orthopedic braces and can sometimes be grumbly about getting them on and off, but Alina managed her like a champ. Her communication was excellent and we appreciated the photos she sent. We’ll definitely have her back if she’ll have us!”


“Sarah was amazing with our doggo! 🐾 She was very responsive, sent plenty of updates and pictures, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Mac clearly loved spending time with her, and we really appreciated the extra care and attention she gave. We’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again!”


“This was our first time leaving our Weimaraner Freya with someone who wasn’t immediate family. She was a little bit anxious and Melissa was amazing at adapting the schedule to make sure that Freya felt the most comfortable. She sent updates and pictures which made us feel more at ease. We definitely will want to use Melissa again in the future!”


About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my life, from growing up with them to having dogs of my own. Although my experience with pets is primarily with dogs, I feel like animals in general absolutely love me! There’s a special connection between us that is unexplainable. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets, whether it’s dogs or cats, and give them the love and attention they’re accustomed to—and deserve! Please note: I am available for house/pet sitting within 50 miles of San Diego. However, drop-in visits and dog walking are limited to 10 miles. I’m self-employed and fortunate to have a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I will make sure your pets are safe and comforted while you're away and do whatever I can to ease any anxiety they may have. We’ll play, relax, or simply hang out, whatever the moment calls for. My goal is to help them feel as comfortable as possible until you return.

“Kaitie was AMAZING!!! It was the first time leaving my little senior Chihuahua with anyone and I couldn’t have been more fortunate to have Kaitie take care of her. She sent pics regularly and updated me on how she was doing. Thank you Kaitie!”


About: I’ve been pet/ house sitting since I’ve been in high school and have done overnight stays and drop in visits. I have experience with timid and shy dogs and am good at being patient and gaining their trust. I’ve taken care of both large and small dogs as well as cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. I’m currently a grad student and have a flexible schedule as I am just working on independent research with no scheduled classes. I have an on campus job from 2-5pm Monday - Thursday. I got into pet sitting when I did not have a dog of my own and I love spending time with dogs. I will always give your pet my best care whether in a walk or on a visit.

“She was fantastic. Gave us updates on our puppy who had thrown up before we left and kept us in the loop of what was going on. She was responsive and got along with him. Highly recommend.”


About: I walk or run your pup to keep them fit, happy, and healthy, and also offer soothing, therapeutic massages to help them relax and recover. “I have a very flexible schedule as I work part-time, which allows me to care for pets any time of the day. I’m also available on weekends and for overnight stays at the owner’s home. Along with walks and play, I offer therapeutic and soothing dog massages. I love outdoor activities, which keeps both me and the pets I care for active, healthy, and happy.” Your dog’s safety comes first. I follow all instructions, provide loving care, and choose clean, safe routes to keep every walk happy, healthy, and stress-free.

About: I grew up taking care of our family dog who was the best Mutt ever. She lived 16 beautiful long happy years. I don’t have any dogs of my own at the moment which means I can give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I have a hybrid work schedule and fairly flexible weekends right now. Especially if I know in advance and can plan for your pet, I will easily be able to accommodate. I show them love and attention while making sure they are physically very well taken care of. I personally live an active lifestyle and can easily bring them along with me if your pet has lots of energy or is used to lots of activity.

Shelby P.
“Shelby is the best! She often cares for my three dogs when I need a drop-in sitter or someone to stay the night, and is responsible and caring. Two of my dogs are fearful of people, and she has done so well gaining their trust and dealing with the challenges that come with caring for fearful dogs. Shelby is my go-to dog sitter (and has helped out with various small animals in the past too), and my dogs always get so excited when they see her around!”

Ricardo G.
“Ricardo is the ultimate pet pal! He’s the kind of person who turns a quick walk into an adventure and a nap into a cozy cuddle fest. Every fur baby he meets gets VIP treatment — belly rubs, treats, playtime, and even relaxing and therapeutic doggie massages because on top of being ab incredible dog sitter, he is also professional massage therapist.If you want your pet to be safe, loved, and maybe a little spoiled, Ricardo’s your guy. Highly recommend! 🐾✨”
