Why I love dog sitting

I have Loved dogs all of my life and have always owned lots of pets of all kinds. I have been a Vet Tech in Los Angles area in the 80's and a Mobile Pet Groomer in San Diego since 1987

Meet my pets

I am a 30yr. experienced Pet Groomer and Vet Tech. I have had experience all of my life with all kinds of pets.They are all a part of who I am.I bought my home 11 years ago with a vision to be able to take care of dogs cage free, that can walk freely around and play with others or just sit under our 100yr old tree in the shade and roll in the thick grass. There is lots to do here and constant supervision and play time. Interaction with lots of critters small to large. They will experience Ranch Life at its finest! Labs can swim in the ponds and small dogs can lounge on the deck and watch the action!

About my yard

We have over one acre to play and run with multiple fence lines 6 ft to 8 ft for safety. Lots of different area dog runs and an specially built "dog room" for the hot days with AC/heat and Radio

My experience administering medication

I can do Injections, Medications and Baths on any pet.

Hi there! My name is Kathy, I'm a very sociable and trustworthy person who's pretty easy to get along with. My whole animal-loving family of 6 (my husband, my brother in-law, three daughters, and myself) all live in the one house, as well as 10 chickens who have a coop in our yard, three dogs, and three amazing cats. I have my own working vehicle and am often available to check up on your dogs to ensure they are well fed and exercised. I have a large yard with plenty of room for your dog to run and various surrounding trails for walks and hardly any cars. My property is partially fenced in in our front yard and our back yard is entirely fenced. I've grown up with dogs as my best friends so coming from another furry friend loving owner to owner, I will treat your dog like my own :)

Dedicated loving care for your small dog in our single story Rancho Penasquitos home. We are located on a quiet street in a quiet neighborhood and have a fenced yard for pets to play in.

The Bijou story:

Bijou was a four pound toy poodle and was part of our family for fifteen years. Finding someone to care for Bijou on the rare occasions when we had to travel and could not take him with us was always an issue. As Bijou grew older the problem became worse, he was accustomed to being at home with us and would be traumatized whenever he had to spend time in a kennel. Having a pet sitter check on him during the day was not acceptable because he did not like strangers in his house (we weren’t too keen on it either) and he did not like being alone.

When Bijou passed away we thought about getting another pet but decided we didn’t want to deal with the boarding issue when we had to travel. Then we thought there must be plenty of other small dog owners who have the same temporary pet care problem, and that is how our custom pet care idea was born.

We have been small dog owners (miniature and toy poodles) for more than 50 years. We are keenly aware of the special needs of smaller dogs and are cautious when they are in our care. Your pet will get supervised exercise outside but will be protected from aggressive animals and predators at all times.

About this sitter:

Retired couple with lots of experience with small dogs. Let us pamper your pet while you are away, your pet will appreciate it.

Why I love dog sitting

We both grew up with dogs as pets and have had them for most of our married lives. Our first pet together was Tony, a black miniature poodle that joined our family on Valentine's Day 1963. After Tony we had Danny, a champagne toy poodle who was the childhood pet of our two children. After the children left the nest and Danny passed we had Biojou, a very small apricot toy (teacup) poodle. Bijou enriched our lives for fifteen years before he passed. The reason we have not replaced Bijou is explained in our profile as "the Bijou story".

About my yard

We have a small fenced back yard that is mostly concrete but there is a small flea free artificial grass potty area as well. The yard has plenty of space for smaller dogs to exercise and it is designed to be easily cleaned.

My experience administering medication

Sure but we would prefer to care for well animals and would prefer to only administer maintenance medication. It is not that we are uncomfortable administering medication but more that we are concerned with maintaining a healthy environment for future client's pets.

Hi, and welcome to Pooch Perfect In San Diego, CA. Our home is located in the High Country West Area of Rancho Bernardo This is your pup's home away from home. They get to enjoy the great outdoors in our large backyard and play tug-of-war with our resident dog, Tyson. Or just relax and soak in the California sun. I offer daily walks and lots of lovin' throughout the day! At the end of the day, after they are completely exhausted, they get to choose which bed and who to snuggle up with for the night! We have 2 boys who I am sure will be fighting over who will get to sleep with your pup tonight! Worried about how your beloved family member is doing? No worries! I will gladly send you daily texts/e-mails with photos on how they are doing and all the fun they are having. There is no place like home but hopefully this will be a close 2nd!

For those dogs who don't like too many dogs around and would rather be the "only" dog, I can accommodate them with a $25 add on fee per night.

Hi!! I’m Heather, I am a pet sitter with 8+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and varying temperaments. I am pet CPR certified, and very comfortable with administering medications or daily care treatments, as needed. I am very calm and even tempered by nature, and have found this trait to be indispensable when working with animals. I am not a certified trainer, but I have completed a lot of education and experience, while continuing to learn more and practice each day.

Adam is my husband, and there hasn’t been a pup that could resist his sweet nature! He is the goofy-fun sitter that can play fetch all day, or will take your pup for a much needed jog/run in the evening. From snuggling on the couch to belly rubs in the yard, he never denies any attention that your pup can demand.

We have a wonderfully sweet host pup of our own, Gwennie. She is a 7 year-old Papillion-Jack Russell mix that is ready to welcome your pups to our home, and ensure them a great stay!

We are a laid back couple that opens our home to host your pup and provide them a fantastic and fun vacation while you are away. Our goal is for our home to become your pup’s “home away from home”!

I've been a dog owner for 18 years. I'm that girl who sees a dog and a baby and I'll run to the dog and "ooh and ahhh" over the dog. I have also fostered puppies for Labs and More for the last year so I have a bleeding heart for all dogs. My kids are the same way so they're always excited when a new dog comes for a visit. We have a big backyard to run around. Extra hands to help for cuddling and hugs. We have a loving home that is dog friendly and being a stay at home mom is ideal for me to be a great dog sitter because I have the time to care for dogs while my kids are at school.

I provide full-time loving care for your precious pup. Having 2 female shih tzus, 9 and 10 years old, I know how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your doggy like you do. I enjoy providing that service. My full time job is caring for all my pup guests. I'm very flexible with drop off and pick up times ranging from very early until very late. You can feel confident that I will meet your dog's needs and give them the attention they want. I have had a lot of experience with puppies and all ages and stages of dogs as well as taking care of dogs with special needs and administering medications and shots. We have a nice big secure backyard with a large covered patio providing shade over comfy outdoor furniture. There is plenty of variety of things to do outside but your dog is welcome to stay in the house as much as he/she would like. Our house is air-conditioned, clean and comfortable. We go on walks everyday and I will bathe your dog if needed and/or requested during their stay. Your dog may sleep wherever he/she would like including our bed. There's always room for one more!

Hello! My name is Cheryl! Having undergone advanced screening, I have been met face-to-face and my home has been inspected. Please take a moment to look at the photos of my home and fully fenced-in yard to see where your dog would be spending his doggy vacation. Not having a precious dog of my own, I would love to spend a few days or longer spoiling and pampering you beloved canine pal. I have been missing the unconditional love and companionship, as well as those sloppy puppy kisses. There is nothing like the friendly wag of a tail, the panting smile, and eyes that light up with that all-adoring “hello.” I love the ears that need a scratch, the hips that need a massage, and the belly that needs to be rubbed. I look forward to meeting you hopefully soon!

My fee listed is for a 24 hour stay and I'm very flexible on drop off and pick up times.

Why I love dog sitting

A very special dog in my life was Chelsea, my precious black lab. With the sweetest expressions and a calm demeanor, she always made me feel at peace in her presence. We would take long walks in the evening and spend our weekends frolicking around the beach. When I was pregnant with my first child, Chelsea was also pregnant and together we waddled around the block every morning. I had painted my expected baby’s nursery with teddy bears and balloons, so it only seemed appropriate that Chelsea have a nursery as well. My husband helped me construct a hinged play area in the garage for Chelsea’s new family which I painted to match my baby’s room. When Chelsea was close to her delivery time, I stayed close by, even sleeping in the garage with her. When Chelsea went into labor, I took the day off. She seemed a little panicked, in pain and unsure of what to do. She walked over to me and delivered her first two puppies right into my hands. It was amazing! She delivered eleven beautiful black Labrador puppies that day. Chelsea was a wonderful mother to those puppies—so patient and loving, attentive to their every need. Chelsea was also very mothering to my own children.

About my yard

I have a nice fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for rolling around in the grass and soaking up some sunshine.

My experience administering medication

Yes, I have no problem administering oral medication when given specific instructions. I am not, however, comfortable administering injections.

About us: My Fiancé (Cameron) and I are excited to be on Rover, we have a huge passion for animals! We will both be watching your dog(s) so they will get double the love and attention. We are home full time to provide top notch care for your pup. We have owned dogs, birds, hamster, turtles, and cats between the two of us. That doesn't count the many stray animals we've rescued. Now we just have one dog named Bella, she is extremely spoiled. We treat everyone’s dogs like our own so they will feel very loved and spoiled here! We have a lot of close friends/family that are in the vet industry, which has helped us gain a lot of knowledge about animals in case of emergencies. We are also very knowledgeable of dog behavior and take a lot of precaution introducing dogs when owners are present and when you leave. We like to make sure they enjoy their surroundings before introducing them with other animals. We want the dogs to try to stay as low stressed as possible. We do accept high anxiety dogs and are extremely patient with them and their needs (Bella freaks out when we leave so we understand). We want to make sure we are always the best fit for you and your loved one! Watching your dog is something we take seriously; we take all precautions with cleanliness and follow procedures starting with the outside surroundings and inside the home. We spray the outside yard to kill bad bacteria, fleas etc. We also deep clean the inside once a week and follow all cleanliness procedures. Book a stay with people that take your dog’s health seriously. We promise your dog will be treated as our own. Your dogs will have a blast, feel loved, be stress free, and won’t want to leave!

Suggestions: We highly recommend that all dogs be on a flea preventative! All owners must understand that anyone you book with have dogs come and go whether its 1 or 20, all dogs should be protected. For anxious dogs please consider booking a doggy daycare first to see how they do! A lot of health problems occur in anxious dogs if they are not comfortable. Letting them get to know us will make a dramatic difference on their mental state when booking an overnight!

What we NEED to know: We ask that you provide us with as much information about your dog(s) as possible. We want to get to know them as best we can in the short amount of time we have with them. Information about eating arrangements, sleeping arrangements, anything they show aggression towards, anything they chew up, if potty trained or not, etc. We want them to feel just as if they are at home with us and would prefer to keep them on any schedule you have in place (if you have one)! So please let us know what they need, we know every dog has its own personality and know how they want everything. As of now we have neighbors so please be upfront if your dog is an excessive barker! We need to keep our neighbors happy to continue doing this.

Bella: I could go on and on about my baby! My Fiancé says I treat her like more of a human than a dog, but I beg to differ! She is a super sweet pup that loves to do hot laps and soak in the sun. She is probably the most patient dog I’ve seen when it comes to learning about her new friends! She’s a great playtime buddy and a great lounge buddy depending on what your pup prefers! She is a mut, we think she is a lab/pit mix but we could be wrong. She is on a flea prevention and always up to date on shots.

About our home: Our home has a fenced yard, divided into two separate areas. We separate dogs into groups depending on how many we have, and if we have more mellow dogs, we separate them from more energetic ones! We have dedicated our spare bedroom for the dogs we watch! It’s decked out with beds, blankets, and toys to make them as comfortable as possible! We are in the process of converting our garage as a doggy playroom, so they have their own area 😊 The playroom is not done so we don’t use it to its full potential but so far it has a couch, TV, beds, and we installed a mini split unit for AC/Heat. We(Cameron) are eventually going to finish the walls and add some other additions.

We are a family of five (six including our 3 year old super friendly Brittany Spaniel, "Tucker"). Our three kids (3rd, 6th, and 7th graders) really love to play with dogs and will have tons of fun playing with your dog as much as your dog wants!

We try to take our dog, Tucker, for a good long walk every day. He is super friendly and loves to meet other dogs along the way. If your dog loves to take walks, we will certainly try to work that in to the schedule.

My wife, Michelle, is a a stay at home mom while I am in sales and work out of a home office...between the two of us, we are around the house a lot and will keep all of our friendly doggy guests company.

Our fenced in backyard is very dog friendly with lots of room to run and play. Our doggy guests can be inside or outside...whichever they prefer. Feel very comfortable that your pooch will be safe and have a good time at our home. :)
