Pet Sitting Ortega Hills

About: Dogs have always been a central part of my life. As a longtime dog owner, foster volunteer, and animal rescue advocate, I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities. As the proud dog mom of Scotty and Pancake, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior dogs, rescue dogs, and pets requiring extra patience and attention. Through fostering and volunteering with rescue organizations, I've helped care for dogs during transitions, administered basic medications, managed feeding schedules, and provided plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I currently share my home with two small dogs and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your dog needs a comfortable place to stay, regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra cuddles while you're away, I'll treat them like part of the family and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care for your pets. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2:00 PM, with availability for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. Dogs in my care are treated like family and are rarely left alone for extended periods. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and having fun. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own dogs, foster dogs, rescue dogs, senior pets, and dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I understand that every dog is unique and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. As a longtime rescue volunteer and foster, I have experience helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments and working with pets who may need a little extra patience and reassurance. In my home, dogs enjoy a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, supervision, and opportunities for play and exercise. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly small dogs who are accustomed to being around other pets. Introductions are always done carefully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect your routines and home as if it were my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and any household guidelines you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel secure, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you're away.

I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and will always follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested — from specific feeding instructions to medications or preferred walking routes.

“Aja is attentive, kind and patient. Tending to my German Shepherd can be quite the task but she dove right in and did exceptionally well in all aspects of care. 100 percent recommending her to anyone in need of dog assistance.”

“Morgan went above and beyond to take care of our 3 cats, even going for an unscheduled visit when one of them wouldn't eat. She came before we left to meet them and see the layout of our house. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little uneasy, and she did everything perfectly to help set us at ease. She will be our go-to pet sitter moving forward. Can't recommend her enough!”

“Sarah is so trustworthy and reliable!! She has been going the extra mile to ensure my Doberman Kilian is getting what he needs while I’m away at work. Sarah has been gracious and kind to my previous dog and If I were you I would book her for your dogs needs. Just don’t book my time slot. She is a part of the family now and we couldn’t have it either way but this way. Sarah for President!!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, giving me years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, hedgehogs, birds, sugar gliders, and more. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to providing patient, loving, and dependable care for each one. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, administering simple care instructions, or simply giving your pet companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry (or feathered!) family member, and my goal is to make both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work part-time at a restaurant in St. Johns and typically work morning shifts from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to care for your pets. Whether you’re heading out for a nice dinner, a special event, or simply need someone dependable while you’re away, you can count on me to provide your pets with the love, attention, and quality care they deserve. I care for every pet with both love and safety in mind. I enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means cuddling, reinforcing their training with treats (when approved by you), or taking them on walks. As the owner of a Great Dane with a very sensitive stomach, I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s specific feeding routine and dietary needs. I’m careful to stick to your instructions so your pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to care for every animal as if they were my own.

“Sidnee was amazing with my Daisi girl. My cat can take time to warm up to people and Sidnee was patient and not pushy. Daisi warmed up to her in no time. I have found my pet sitter for the future. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi! I am Shawna. I’m a five star Rover sitter with 32 verified reviews, now offering drop in visits and dog walking. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I grew up with cats and dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. While I no longer provide boarding or doggy daycare in my home, I’d love to help make your day a little easier by caring for your pet in the place they’re most comfortable-their own home. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, fresh food, and water, or just someone to throw a ball and give them some attention, I’m happy to help. For cats, I’m just as happy to refresh litter boxes, feed them, play with them, or simply sit with them if they’re the quiet type who enjoys company. As a stay-at-home mom, reliability and kindness are important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and to feel confident knowing they were well cared for while you were away. I’ll always treat your pets with patience, love, and respect and I’ll send photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. (My favorite part about being a Rover sitter!) I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Please message me with any questions you may have. I’m currently at home with my 2 kiddos and since it is summertime my availability is pretty open! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine and I enjoy getting out for walks and spending time with animals throughout the week. I’m happy to provide dependable loving care while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, I focus on keeping the routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, litter, box, care, playtime, and any special needs or medications. During each visit, I’ll also check that everything is in good order in your home and send updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets feel cared for, calm, and loved until you return.
