“Jeanine has taken care of my cat Gus many times over the last year and a half. She is extremely reliable, thorough, always replies promptly to emails and texts, and sends me great pictures and videos of Gus whie I’m gone.?Most of all, I know she takes great care of my kitty. I highly recommend Jeanine for cat and dog sitting.”
“Shannon was wonderful to work with in caring for my cat. She asked about other tasks she could do while I was away from home, which helped me out greatly. I really appreciate her commitment for the timeframe agreed to for the visits, as well as communication about how my cat was doing (along with some great pictures!). I plan to ask Shannon back to care for my cat in future away-from-home plans, and I would recommend her to others. Thank you again, Shannon!”
“Anna provided excellent care for my pups while I was out of town. She was prompt on a daily basis as well as keeping me informed. She will be at the top of my list when I need another sitter. Thank you Anna 💖”
“Steph is absolutely the best!! She took such wonderful care of our “babies”. Our cat is very shy but she warmed right up to Steph. Steph stayed in contact with us with her detailed updates at each visit (she visited our home 3 x a day). She also sent us lovely photos of all of our pets during each visit. Everyone looked very happy and very well cared for. I will definitely hire Steph again each time I go out of town!!”
“Nadya was prompt. She was patient when there was issue with my front door lock code and helped with an outbreak of ants that invaded my cat’s food. I have never had that happen before so I felt bad it happened while we were gone.”
“Maria did drop-in visits for our 5 y.o. cat while we were away for a couple weeks, and she was wonderful! She tended to all of our precious girl’s needs (and she can be very needy), and kept her happy and active while we were out. I’d highly recommend Maria for cat-sitting needs.”
“Nicole was wonderful! She visited my two cats and she was very accommodating and flexible with my changing schedule. I got photos and details for every visit. My cats were very comfortable with her as well :)”
About: I've raised and taken care of dogs and cats since I was atleast 10yrs old. But in my adult lifetime I've raised pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits and horses. For a number of years I raised and breed English Pointers and also trained them for upland game bird hunting. With my Extended Life Experience, I am able to care for just about any animal with care and affection while keeping them safe and secure. I have an affinity for ALL animals. All that they desire from us is our Love and Attention and to be treated with Care and Affection. That is exactly what your furry little critter will learn to expect from me. And Nothing Less I am retired from the California Dept. Of Correction, where I worked in North Eastern Calif. Upon retirement I moved back to Poway, where I reside. I am Free most every single day and have very flexible hours of availability as well. While looking out for your fur ball, whether it be in your home, the backyard,on long walks, in the park, or in my home, my training with the Dept. of Corrections had ingrained into me to be very aware of my surroundings. I take notice of things others my not see. Your little buddies safety and well-being is as important to me as it is to you.
“We couldn’t have felt any more confidence in Kelcy. She was fantastic to work with and we so appreciated her terrific care of our cat, Felix. She was so sweet with her. We won’t hesitate to have Kelcy come during our next travels. Thank you Kelcy!!!”

I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior companions who need medicine.

Since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, I’m able to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feedings, or just some extra love and companionship, I can easily fit their routine into my day. This allows me to be available when your pets need me most, keeping them happy and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I can also send you selfies with your pawsome friends!! Lol Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: I’m a devoted dog mom to a 17-year-old Schnoodle and a 13-year-old Yorkiepoo, so I truly understand the special care senior dogs need. From daily walks and dental care to gentle massages for arthritis, I provide attentive and loving care based on real experience.I’ve trained my friends’ puppies basic commands and believe in kind and consistent training for every dog.I believe animals bring incredible love and energy to life, and I tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality with calm, gentle handling and familiar routines. I’m prepared for emergencies, always prioritizing safety and quick communication with owners or vets. Extras like daily photo updates, long walks, medication administration, and basic training are available on request. Since I’m not working right now and my husband is working from home during the day, we’re able to maintain a steady routine with our senior dogs. This gives me the flexibility to provide focused, loving care—whether it’s walks, playtime, or medication—tailored to each pet’s needs. I offer overnight pet sitting in the client’s home, following your dog’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or bedtime, I make sure to stick to your schedule and provide plenty of companionship. For dog walking, I adapt to your dog’s needs and preferences—typically, I provide two longer walks and two shorter ones daily, but I’m flexible to match what works best for your pet. I handle dogs with care and attention, adjusting pace and activity level to suit their energy and comfort.
“Vinh is absolutely wonderful. This was our first time having him take care of our babies and he was very attentive to the needs of our pets. Including two of which that are special needs. We would highly recommend him and will definitely request him in the future.”
About: I have many years of experience with all kinds of animals! Friends often ask me, as their go-to, for pet sitting. Multiple dogs at once, dogs and cats together in the same house, etc. I am currently a weekly dog sitter and walker for my best friend for over a year now! I received a liver transplant that saved my life almost two years ago, and walking was and has been a great recovery activity for me, especially when dogs are included. :) I currently have lots of time to spare! Interacting with animals and being outside is very important to me to lead a joyful life. I have very open availability, especially during the week. I am experienced with crate trained dogs, but I do keep them out the entirety that I am with them and try to provide an engaging interaction with your pets! I understand how important it is to provide your animals with stimulation!
About: I am a zookeeper, and have been pet sitting for years, so I have quite a bit of experience working with a variety of animals. I grew up with cats and dogs, and currently have 2 cats of my own. I have also taken care of other small mammals, birds, and reptiles. I am a detail oriented person with a passion for animal welfare, seeing as that is a large part of my job. I go above and beyond when I pet sit to make sure animals feel comfortable while their people are away. I am also comfortable administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, as well as eye drops. I also have years of training experience, and am comfortable working with younger animals and geriatrics. My schedule is a little variable, but I can do early morning, and afternoon/evening Saturday-Wednesday, and anytime Thursday and Friday as those are my days off. I am unfortunately unable to board animals since I live in an apartment, but am more than happy to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home.
“Megan was a fantastic caretaker for our two cats! She was able to get them to come out of their shell while we were gone and she went the extra mile. Looking forward to booking again in the future!”
About: I have 1-2 years of experience with dog walking and sitting, feeding, bathing, walking/running playing with them and ensuring their safety in public when outside the house. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to attend to your dogs or cats and am free during the day and in most evenings and also have availability on weekends. My schedule week by week shifts but I communicate well about these changes. I pay a lot of attention to detail and will respect your home and take great care of your animals based on their needs and your expectations.
“Mindy and her family provided a loving home for my cat while I was moving and couldn’t have him at home. They made sure he was happy and got all the attention he loves. My cat was with them for over a week and Mindy made sure to send me pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Mindy.”
About: Growing up I loved dogs but wasn’t allowed to have any because my dad was allergic, so I always walked and took care of the neighborhood dogs. Now I am a dog owner and still love taking care of other dogs. I work part time / mostly on the weekends, so dog walking and sitting during the week is perfect for me. Any work I do during the week I work from home. I have a fenced yard and doggy door, and a VERY loving dog who has yet to meet another dog he does not get along with. We have several doggy beds in the house as well as a large couch covered with dog blankets for dogs to lay on. We also have a large crate if necessary. We have a great neighborhood for walking, a hill with some trails right behind our house, and are just a 5 min drive to the Poway Dog park.

Michael D.
“I don’t even know where to begin—Michael is hands down the best person I could’ve ever asked to watch my dogs. From daily photo updates to little check-ins that made me feel totally in the loop, it was clear how much attention he poured into every moment with them. The dogs can be a little picky with new people, but they warmed up to Michael instantly (which NEVER happens!). It’s rare to find someone this trustworthy, kind, and genuinely connected to animals. If you have the chance to book Michael—do it.”

Kayla K.
“Kayla has taken care of our 4 animals on several occasions. We have two cats as well as a puppy and a senior dog. She cared for each of them with our specified instructions and showed up promptly and reliably leaving our home clean and our animals happy and healthy. She stayed longer to play with them and even cleaned up surprise messes when our elderly dog had accidents in the house. We couldn't believe how above and beyond she went for our kiddos and she was kind enough to send us tons of adorable pictures so we knew they were safe and happy. She loves kitties and puppies and it shows! I recommend Kayla to anyone looking for the best care for their pets.”

jenna c.
“I whole-heartedly recommend Jenna as a responsible and loving dog caregiver. I have spent a lot of time with Jenna and her dog, Archer, and it is a beautiful relationship to behold. Jenna seems to instinctively know what Archer needs, whether that’s food, discipline, extra attention, nose boops, or “all of the above!” And I’ve seen her with other dogs too, and she is very relaxed and loving around them as well. Finally, Jenna is an extremely responsible person whom I would certainly entrust with my dog’s care. She is absolutely what I would call a “dog person!"”

Nadya was wonderful. Some issues came up (completely my fault) but she was very flexible and was able to accommodate the workaround. I don’t think I can thank her enough. She also took great photos and provided daily summaries on my cat. She was quick to respond to any of my questions and requests. I am definitely hoping to work with her again.
Our cat is a senior gentleman and needed a little extra attention and two visits per day. Olivia was reliable with great communication, and we felt totally comfortable with her in charge of our kitty's care. Great pet-sitter, and we'd definitely use her again!
Fatima did a great job sitting for our two cats. The cats seemed calm and content when we came home after being away for over a week. We loved getting photos and updates, and we appreciated Fatima’s personal experience taking care of her own cats. We will definitely hire Fatima again!
