Pet Sitting in Poway

“Stop scrolling – you’ve found the perfect pet sitter! Verona is absolutely incredible. She cared for my cat for seven days and went above and beyond in every possible way. She brought in my mail, packages, and even garbage cans—without me ever asking. But the most amazing part? My cat came back happier and friendlier than ever. I had only adopted her two months ago and this was my first time leaving her, yet Verona’s gentle, caring approach helped her become more relaxed and tame than I imagined possible. And as a bonus, Verona took the most stunning professional-quality photos of my cat that made me see her in a whole new light. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and treats them like her own, Verona is the one. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would trust her again in a heartbeat.”

“Suzy is absolutely wonderful! Her genuine love for animals shines through, and her calm, reassuring presence made my kitties feel instantly at ease. I was particularly impressed by how she connected with my shy boy, who usually takes time to warm up to new people. Suzy was able to win his trust and make him comfortable, which was truly amazing. All of our fur babies adored her! We are so grateful for the adorable photos and regular updates she sent during our time away. Suzy was kind, caring, reliable, and incredibly responsive. I would hire her again in a heartbeat—she’s a true gem!”

“Nadya was an excellent pet sitter! She was very communicative and went above and beyond by checking in on my chickens and tortoise. Her reliability and responsibility gave me peace of mind while I was away, knowing my pets were well cared for with daily visits. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“We're very thankful for Jeanine! She's very pleasant to work with, and my shy kitty, MisChief, welcomed her immediately. Her report card and pictures were wonderful, and we came home to a very happy kitty. It's a comfort to know our cat will be loved on and taken care of when we're away. We will definitely be a repeat customer :)”

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for pets. I grew up with two family dogs who lived long, happy lives into their teens (16 years!), and I was closely involved in their daily care, training, and vet visits. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I have fish and have regularly helped care for friends’ and family members’ pets over the years. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every animal with the same love and care I’d give my own. I work during the day and spend most evenings at home with my family, which makes evenings and weekends a great time for me to care for pets. I love being out and about in the neighborhood, and I’m happy to fit in walks or drop-in visits around dinner time or during weekends. Pet care gives me a chance to connect with animals, get some fresh air, and help others — all while fitting naturally into my daily rhythm. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own family. When visiting a client’s home, I always follow instructions closely, ensure doors and gates are secure, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and safety. I provide updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing, and I never rush through care — I take the time to make sure they feel loved, calm, and well cared for.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I have owned 8 dogs, smallest being chihuahuas, largest being labs! I love all pets I handle, and form close bonds with them! I have experience in overnight house + dog watching, making sure medicine is taken if requested, novice puppy training, senior dog care, and much more! Every single day I have set times when my dogs need my assistance. My dogs both love to go outside to relieve themselves at 4 AM - 5 AM. After that they want to have their breakfast. Once that is over they typically want to take a nap till the afternoon comes around. After that the next main point of care is in the evening when I take them on a short walk, and then need to feed dinner as well around that time. Throughout the day they need to be let outside to relieve themselves every hour or so. Firstly, I always love to take notes on what the client is requesting. If they simply want me to walk for x amount of time, no important notes, then I will treat the dog accordingly and with care. If there are important pieces of information about the dog I usually like to be aware and make sure both sides have the same understanding to make sure the interaction goes smoothly and accordingly! The most important part of pet care is communication!

About: I have had a family pet ever since I was in middle school starting with a dog. In high school our family added a cat. Now that I have my own family, we have a dog (Miso), a cat (Chad) and chickens (Nugget, Eunice, Orange, Pie) Currently, I am available to check in on your pets and play with them. I can also take your dog on a walk or run if needed. Give me instructions and I will follow them. I will respect your pets and your home. Just let me know what you need and I'm there to help!

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.

“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!”

About: Hi there! I’m Logan and I thank you for giving my profile a look! My family has had dogs in our house since 2009, so I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my life. I love any breed and size! I can’t work with cats as much family has a history of cat allergies. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog(s) wagging tail(s) My mom used to work at a school and asked me to take care of our two dogs for the day while she was gone. I made sure they had food, water, went to the restroom and had lots of fun! I treat all the dogs we have like they’re my child. I take care of them to make sure they live long happy lives! It’s nice to cuddle with them.

About: Hi, I’m Devin, an experienced and insured pet caregiver located in Poway, CA. I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals, and have hands-on experience for cats, dogs, and even exotic pets! (ex: rodents, reptiles, fish) In addition to pet sitting, I also work part-time at a veterinary clinic, where I get hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I’m confident handling pets with special needs, medication routines, or unique temperaments. I do work 12-hour shifts on weekends so I might not be the best choice for long weekend sits. Whether you are ready to book or want to chat to see if our schedules can work together, I’d be happy to connect with you! When watching animals, I focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment. I’m careful with leashes, gates, and feeding routines, and I keep an eye out for any signs of stress or discomfort.

About: Former US Navy marine mammal trainer with a deep understanding of animal behavior. I offer calm, reliable care—great with anxious dogs, seniors, and puppies alike. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my routine. I structure my days around each animal’s needs, ensuring consistency, comfort, and enrichment. Whether it’s early walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I prioritize quality time and attentive care. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, focused attention and maintain strong communication with pet parents. As a pet parent to three dogs, I understand how important routine, comfort, and trust are. In both my home and clients’ homes, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals feel safe and loved. I stick closely to each pet’s schedule—feeding, walks, play, and medication if needed—while providing plenty of affection and structure. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and stress signals, always prioritizing the pet’s well-being and emotional comfort. Whether it’s my home or yours, your pet will be treated like family.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs from puppies to senior doggies. I’ve always been comfortable with dogs of any size. I enjoy spending time with them especially if they need someone around! I am currently taking some time off from my 9-5 and have availability to care for your pet any day of the week including weekends! I would have to care for your pets at your place, I enjoy spending time with them where they’re most comfortable and where their environment is familiar to them.

“We had a great experience with Megan stopping by each day to check on our cats. She sent thorough updates with photos which is always appreciative and took great care of our kitties. Her girls came over too so they got some extra love and pets. We will definitely look to use Megan again!”

“Norma took great care of our GSD and Lab, taking them on walks, filling up water and even cleaning up after them. They were well taken care of while we were away. I’ll definitely use Norma again!”
