Anthony was awesome! Sofia is normally skittish around visitors so I was so happy that he sent pics of her coming out around him. He was also friendly and very accommodating with my changing schedule.

Jovi is a reliable and sweet cat sitter! She takes the time to send photos and updates and she plays with the cats each visit so they get lots of love. Our cats enjoy getting to spend time with her! She even makes sure to do light cleaning at the end of longer visits which is just wonderful.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Chula Vista and had dogs my entire life. I have experience with just about every size, breed, and personality. I’ve owned and cared for dogs ranging from German Shepherds, Dalmatians, and Pit Bulls to Shih Tzus and Chihuahuas, so I’m comfortable walking all dogs, big or small, high-energy or laid-back. I work during the day and am available after 4pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always focus on making sure your dog feels safe, exercised, and happy. Pet care fits easily into my routine. My job offers a lot of flexibility, including the ability to work remotely, which allows me to be available when needed. I’m consistently free after 4pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends, making it easy for me to walk or board your cute doggies without feeling rushed. Since I already care for my own dogs daily, pet care is a natural part of my routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I care for pets the same way I care for my own dogs, with patience, consistency, and lots of attention. Whether I am in my home or a client’s home, I always follow the pet’s routine and any instructions provided, including feeding, walking preferences, and energy level. For walks, I focus on safety and making sure the walk is enjoyable and not rushed. I pay attention to the weather, take water breaks when needed, and adjust the pace to match each dog. I am comfortable with dogs that pull, are shy, older, or full of energy. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and dog friendly environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and downtime so they feel comfortable and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and focus on keeping the pet’s routine consistent so they feel secure. I always send updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience fostering dogs for a rescue organization and taking care of friend's dogs. I find true joy in caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether it’s playing fetch at the park, going on long walks, or just spending quiet cuddle time together, I genuinely love making every dog feel safe, happy, and special. I grew up in a home filled with dogs and have had my own rescued doodle for the past six years. I personally trained him to become a certified therapy dog, and we volunteer together at schools to bring comfort and smiles to kids. Although he is very mellow and does not play too much with our dog friends, he loves having dogs stay with us! We live on the back of a property and have our own fenced-in yard. For the past three years, I’ve also fostered and volunteered with a senior dog rescue, Frosted Faces, which has given me valuable hands-on experience with older dogs who need extra patience and care. What sets me apart is my deep empathy and attentiveness to each dog’s individual needs. I’m experienced in administering medication and caring for needy pets, and I’m always gentle and patient as dogs settle into new environments. I truly see each dog as unique, and I strive to give them the love and respect they deserve every step of the way. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority in my daily life. When I’m not working, I dedicate as much time as possible to caring for and bonding with the pets I sit for. As a teacher, I work most days from 8:30-1:30, but I have plenty of availability on weekends, holidays, and evenings. This allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent—whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, or a calm, comforting presence. I offer a safe, loving, and relaxed environment for pets in my care. I live in a cozy, private home located at the back of a quiet property, complete with a securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely explore and play. I’m also very active and love taking dogs on walks to a nearby park that has both a large grassy field and a fenced-in dog area for safe off-leash time. My own dog, a gentle and friendly 35-pound doodle, is incredibly calm and welcoming with other dogs. He’s been a wonderful companion while I’ve fostered senior dogs and often sets a great example with his mellow demeanor and friendly energy. I'm also happy to care for pets in your home if that’s what your dog prefers. In most cases, I would bring my doodle along with me, as he’s well-socialized, non-aggressive, and comfortable in new environments. I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine, whether at my home or yours.

About: Animals are and will for ever be part of my life, they are a huge source of happiness for me, even if I’m not their owner and only have them for a few minutes, I will love them and respect them as if they where my own. I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, and other different pets and have the experience needed for knowing what they want and how to treat them. I am available to take care of your pets any day of the week even weekends! This mostly during breaks, I am a college student so during school semesters the availability can change depending on my classes, but I’ll usually change that in advance on the app. I also can do nights, or we can arrange something that will work for both sides, I’m very open to talk and help in any way possible! Most services are offered, I can walk them, feed them, spend time with them and pet them of course! I can stay nights, the day or even a few hours or minutes at your place and they are also welcome to my home any time. Safety is important on both sides, if pets are aggressive or bite please let me know in advance, if they have conditions or medical issues please let me know, I’ll take care of them with all the safety needed and provide them with a loving, caring and safe environment.

About: I am a dog owner myself and have had dogs since I was a child. I used to be a self employed dog sitter/walker in Boston, MA until about 10 years ago but I miss it so now I am getting back into it. Working with animals is way better anyway 😉 I am self employed and can make necessary arrangements with the appropriate notice. I am here to accommodate you and your pets. Just ask what you need and I'll let you know if I can make it work. I have a fenced yard in a single family home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. I have two children and one dog living at the residence. There is plenty of room inside and outside.

His communication while I was away was superb. I would recommend him to anyone and will be a repeat customer for sure!

About: I’ve worked in the veterinary field for about 5 years. I took a break and became a stay at home mom. However, the love for animals hasn’t left me. I am a skilled “nurse” that you can trust with your pets care… from simply just watching and playing with them, to giving/administering medications and helping with surgery recovery. I am a stay at home mom to a 2 yr old boy. I have taken pet sitting as my full time job so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. If you have a complicated schedule, feel free to message me and we can come to an agreement. I have a spacious fenced back yard for doggy playtime (if you consent). I have a friendly and playful dog that can help keep your pet company. I like to care for pets the way their owners do, so if you have special requests, I will accommodate (I can crate your pet, or crate my dog).

This was the first time I had to find a sitter for my babies. It has been difficult especially since my sons are in law enforcement they were very skeptical about having me bring in someone I did not know into my home. I looked through many profiles and found Sylvia. I am extremely surprised on how well Dodger and Nala have been around Sylvia ESPECIALLY DODGER LOL They both have been very comfortable around her and that makes me feel better. Thank you Sylvia

Chris did a lovely job taking care of my 11 month old skittish kitten. She was reliable and her photos of her visits were cute and comforting. My cat was super calm when we came back, and her visits twice a day must have been soothing. I dont travel very much, but I would definitely re-book with her if a chance to vacation came up.

Stephanie took care of everything during our dogs morning and evening meals and was very communicative about how our pup was doing. Will definitely book with Stephanie again and recommend others do also! She is super awesome!
