About: I have taken care of pets for a very long time since I was about 12 years old. I guess you can say it runs in the family to love pets so whenever our family or friends needed a sitter, we had open arms! I went off to college and continued pet sitting and now my journey continues. I am currently working full time, remote so my hours are very flexible. I can always make time for my little furry friends! Schedule is flexible! I am very outdoorsy and full of adventure. I always make sure to walk the dogs while also being prepared with anything they might need. I’m also very careful and make sure all furry friends are in a safe environment.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life, including dogs of all sizes. I am experienced in giving medications, walking, feeding, and taking out for potty breaks and doing so in a loving and patient manner. As an animal lover I also like to give back to the animal community and have done so by volunteering at the animal shelter where I have learned so much. I am a former Registered Nurse so I have plenty of experience administering shots and I am currently looking into vet tech schools to pursue a new exciting career working closely with animals of all kinds. I am excited to meet you and your furry friends. I currently have 2 cats and 3 grand pups. That’s right. All 3 of my children have adorable dogs and I help care for them every week. I enjoy walking them, feeding them and playing with them. I would have a dog of my own too, but I live in a tiny apartment and my 2 cats, Simba and Floyd are my best friends. I have worked as a dog walker in the past for a company in Carlsbad where I gained valuable experience. I will provide exceptional care for your pets in your home. I will feed, water, walk and play and take them out for potty breaks. I can administer medication as well. I am patient and caring with a background in nursing. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members.

About: I have one dog right now but for most of my adult life I had 3, 2 Belgian Malinois and 1 Aussie shepherd. I have experience with all sorts of dogs from calm temperaments who love everyone to reactive dogs. Would love to help with your pet! I’m a nurse and work Monday - Friday (princess nurse job) looking to help in the mornings, lunch time and evenings! I am flexible and can work around your schedule as well! I have a dog walking path outside my complex, I’d keep our dogs separate and mine crated until they get used to each other. My dog gets along with everyone so it would be an easy transition

Melissa provided excellent service when we left her with Webbygail. She went above and beyond and couldn’t ask for a better sitter/walker. Kept us up to date on all activities with message and pictures. She also wrote snippets of what was done and also nutrition of Webby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking on this site for a safe and reliable caretaker of your pet. :)

Tina was so sweet to check in on our cat Vic when I booked fairly last minute. I can always tell Vic is so much more chill and relaxed when I arrive home from a trip after she gets a visit from Tina. She is the best! We are really grateful to have someone we trust with our little cat.

Danielle is an excellent pet sitter and I’m so happy I found her! My cat Smokey is usually shy at first, and even tends to hide from new people, but he felt very comfortable with Danielle right away. She took great care of him during my week out of town. She was communicative and reliable each day. I highly recommend Danielle and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need a sitter.

Alexandra watched my dog Korra and did an absolutely outstanding job. From the moment they met, Alexandra’s professionalism and genuine compassion for animals were so easy to see. Korra is a rescue with anxiety, and being away from home — especially during work trips — can be really stressful for her. Alexandra handled this with incredible patience, taking the time to read Korra’s behavioral cues and adjust her approach accordingly. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Korra felt safe and comfortable. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and will absolutely be booking again.
