“Alesha did an amazing job pet sitting Bella. She was so great with her and sent me updates daily. Alesha went above and beyond and even left us a thoughtful gift that was completely unexpected. We will definitely be using her services again the next time we go out of town.”

“Absolutely outstanding experience with Jim. We have tried a number of petsitters and never found anyone who was so professional, mature and responsible with our pups and our home. He was just wonderful and we never worried once about our pups being so well taken care of.”


“Brandi was amazing!! She took such good care of our dogs while we were out of town during the and New Year and kept them happy and safe during all of the fireworks. Would highly recommend!”


“Aaron was a last minute book and I’m so glad he was so available, communicative and flexible. Aaron took amazing care of our babies and kept us updated the entire time. I would highly recommend Aaron to all my family and friends.”


About: I’ve been petsitting/housesitting for 8 years in San Diego CA and when I travel for petsitting. My experience with animals ranges from a wide variety of chickens, goats, pigs, a pet cow, horses, lizards, snakes and turtles as well as; cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes I am available most weekdays for drop ins and walks; with limited weekend availability depending on the week. If my schedule shows I am available through the weekend, then I am! For dog day care or boarding I am the primary caretaker but there are two extra sets of hands available. I currently look from home during this part of the year and have a flexible schedule to accommodate! We have a fully fenced in yard and prefer to take in only one families dogs at a time. If you dog is comfortable with it or prefers it, I am happy to take them on outings with me around town. I live walking distance to a shopping center and a few parks. Safety is very important to me as well as keeping the animals safe. I expect that all dogs and cats I care for to be non aggressive and properly trained to be safe to all in public. If they are not I require that it be disclosed in full and discussed with me prior to the sit, drop in, or walking; I am familiar with and can accommodate almost all behaviors but I do require it to be disclosed before proceeding. My priority is the comfort of your pet within their environment as well as the safety of all within that environment including your pet. If there are any quirks or triggers that your pets exhibit it is expected that they be disclosed when booking a walk, drop in or house sit as they can be accommodated if they are disclosed before the walk/visit. Please disclose if your cat is a frequent scratcher or biter, or if you dog has a rage/bite history for the safety of all parties.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable 23-year-old pet lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats, dogs, and furry friends of all sizes. I’ve raised two cats of my own, lived with a dog for two years, and helped neighbors and friends with daily walks, feeding, playtime, giving oral medications, and light grooming. Whether your pet needs a cozy cuddle buddy, a fun playmate, or someone to keep their routine on track while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved. I am working part-time so I have some extra time in my schedule! I am flexible during the week and have my weekends open with full availability! When I care for pets in their own home, I keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll handle feeding, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, walks, playtime, light grooming, and any meds they need. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know your pets are safe and happy. :) I always treat my clients’ homes with respect and leave things just as tidy as I found them.

“Sarah was a fantastic dog sitter for us! She had great communication and took good care of our fur babies. She was super nice and friendly and our dogs loved her instantly. Would book again!”


“Lily is an extremely sweet, confident, responsible individual. She clearly loves animals and my dog fell in love with her. So glad I found her and look forward to having another opportunity to have her care for my dog”



“Kelcy was amazing. She stayed with our dog in our home and took such great care of her. She sent pictures and updates. I knew our dog was in amazing hands. Highly recommend!”


“Mary arrived on time, kept me updated with photos and texts, and left the house clean. Henry was a happy boy when I got home, still trying to get apples out of his kong toy :)”


“Paris was absolutely incredible, and we feel so lucky to have found her! She cared for our dog, Kora, and our two cats, Whiskey and Cosmo, while we were away, and she exceeded every expectation we had. Not only did she provide constant communication and send us daily updates with photos, but she also showed a true level of compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism that put us completely at ease. During her stay, Kora unfortunately developed an unexpected health issue. Paris handled the situation with remarkable care and urgency. She kept us informed every step of the way, coordinated with us to make sure Kora received the attention she needed, and made sure she was comfortable and loved while we figured everything out. It meant the world to us knowing Kora was in such capable and caring hands. As for our two cats — they are typically extremely shy and tend to hide when new people are around. Somehow, Paris managed to win them over completely! She truly has a gift with animals. Whiskey and Cosmo were not only comfortable around her, but even came out to play and interact — something we rarely see with new people. Paris treated our pets like they were her own, and her dedication, patience, and genuine love for animals shined through in every interaction. We returned home to happy, relaxed pets and a home that was just as we left it. We would not hesitate to book Paris again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly special to care for their furry family members. She is simply the best!”


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!

“John did a wonderful job taking care of our large German Shepherd and our home while we were away. Our dog was happy and well cared for, and everything was just as we left it. We’re very pleased with his services and would definitely hire him again in the future. Thank you John!”


About: I have owned toy dogs to Mastiffs and Everything in Between for 30 Years. I will keep your pet happy and safe through knowledgeable service. Free everyday as needed. Work for myself and will take your pets on workouts as required. Just give me a message and I will handle your pets exercise and socialization needs. I will walk them on a leash and be aware of weather conditions. While they are with me they will have food and water whenever they need it. And since I love dogs I will make sure they are always safe.

“Sarah, you were amazing. From our initial visit, to the various photos and videos of my babies while I was away, to even your departure — you were consistent. You loved on my babies and took care of my home and I didn’t have to worry . Thankful for you.”


About: I’ve been walking, watching over, and taking care of dogs of all sorts of ages, shapes and sizes in the San Diego community since my early days of high school. With experience with every type of dog from aging dogs to spry puppies. I’m currently at home from College so I have plenty of time to take care of pets throughout the week as my time can be spent giving the upmost care. I have experience boarding in various homes of the years while also being able to provide my own house where I have a 7 year old lab as a companion and a large backyard in the side of Rancho Bernardo

Michelle M.
“I am delighted that I was lucky enough to find Michelle after my previous petsitter had bailed on me and Bailey at the last second! From the moment I contacted Michelle to her final update she was super professional and it was obvious she had a genuine love for animals! She took the time to understand Bailey's needs and routines, so well that Bailey was pretty indifferent when I got back from vacation, which was kind of harsh lol. Michelle also maintained a clean and organized environment, which was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend her services to all of my friends and family, and now to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Bailey and I will definitely be seeking her services in the future for all of the postponed weddings I now will need to attend! Thank you for being such a caring sitter and for always taking such outstanding care of Bailey while I was away!”
