Aj was so great with my dog Archie! Aj was attentive to Archie’s needs, so kind to him, and Archie immediately loved him. We will definitely use Aj again!

Mark is super nice, professional, mature and trustworthy. This was our first Rover experience so we were a bit skeptical about the type of person we were entrusting with our beloved Westie. Mark gladly agreed to meet with us which gave us a chance to get to know him. So far we have used him for about 8-10 walks and we are super pleased with him and with Rover.

Laura did an absolutely fantastic job with my foster dog. She took him for walks over lunch and spent a few extra minutes with him to ensure he was comfortable. She was communicative, sent pictures, gave thorough updates, and most importantly made sure he was safe. I will absolutely use Laura again in the future!

About: I’ve worked professionally in pet boarding and daycare for almost 2 years, including at Holiday Pet Hotel and currently at a daycare in Poway. In addition, I’ve been pet sitting since I was young, caring for dogs, cats, lizards, birds, and other small animals. My kennel experience has given me a ton of knowledge of dog behavior, body language, and safe handling techniques. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or giving extra playtime, I make sure each pup/kitty feels safe, comfortable, and loved! My schedule works best for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m in school during the mornings and work part-time a few days a week, but I plan my schedule carefully around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I’m reliable with routines and always make time for walks, feeding, and spending quality time with each pet. In some cases, I may be able to bring dogs with me to my work (a supervised doggy daycare), which can be great for social dogs, just ask if you’re interested! I provide in-home care so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space. With kennel & pet sitting experience, I know how to handle different breeds & personalities. I’ll stick to their normal routine, give them lots of attention, & make sure they’re happy while you’re away

Our dog is very timid, so we arranged for Danielle and Koco to meet prior to the first walk. Even though Koco was too shy to go on the walk with Danielle, she tried to encourage her, spent time with her at home, communicated and sent photos to me during her visit. Thank you, Danielle!

About: Hi, I’m Valerie! I’ve had pets my entire life as well as over 8 years of professional experience working in the animal industry (as a pet groomer, pet boarding kennel tech, and PETCO small animal & aquatics specialist). I have experience caring for most species, including pets with medical needs, special diets, anxiety, senior care needs, and specific routines.

My husband and I are childless and live in a cozy, quiet house in Rancho Penasquitos.

Any additional needs, just let me know! I am happy to accommodate you and your pet in any way. I am a Speech-Language Therapist currently working with children in a Montessori school. I am off on Summers, so I offer pet care services during this time. Since I am on break, I will be home and available all day for your pets! My husband and I are childless and live in a cozy, quiet house in Rancho Penasquitos with our senior cat Meeka.

About: I have taken care of my friends dog and also have had pets my entire life (cats, rabbits, birds) and are family to me. I have fed my friend's dog while they were away and am aware of important items that are needed for dogs such as: treats, litter box, leash, medicine, toys, and carriers. I am patient and am good at picking up on dog body language. Picking up on these things such as tail wagging, rolling over and signs of stress has enabled me to beter serve the dog I was taking care of. I am currently working full time in the evenings from 3 pm to 11 pm, Tuesday through Saturday. I would love to use my available time to take care of dogs and cats of various breeds and ages. I care for my pets at home by creating a stimulating environment for them to play, rest and explore. I also make sure to proof my home so that pets are safe. I use engaging toys to play with my cat and feed him twice a day with snacks if needed.

We have a fenced in backyard are walking distance to our community dog park/green space. We have cared for puppies as well as senior frosted faces. I am a teacher, but my husband is currently working from home to help give your fur baby some extra attention.

We are available most days and can take your dog out several times a day. I have a fenced yard, am happy to give medication, and have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies. Dogs are allowed to go on our furniture and it's not uncommon for them to even come sleep in our beds if you allow that. ☺️ Please note, I do have a swimming pool in my backyard, but we always are watching your dog when (s)he goes to the backyard.

About: I have been taking care of pets professionally for the past 5 years, as well as currently being a full time Veterinary Assistant. I am really involved and want to make sure your pets feel well taken care of and have an enriching time when they’re with me. My schedule varies from week to week, but I make sure to only take requests when I’m not needed at my employment at the animal hospital.

About: I have loved animals my entire life. Growing up I never had my own dog, but I always loved every dog around me. I got a dog in high school and have only grown the pack since. My 3 dogs who I have trained since they were 8 weeks old are well trained and extremely loving. Caring for animals comes as a second nature to me and I try to make every animal feel loved and happy with every interaction. I care for my animals every day, morning and night. They are fed twice a day, taken to get exercised at least once a day, and loved all the time. - I also do some maintenance grooming and bathing every couple of weeks. I let my animals run around and take their time going potty, sniffing around, and getting their wiggles out. This includes hanging out in a fenced yard, going to the dog park, taking hikes/walks, or running around in large safe areas.

About: I've owned and taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and many other pets since I was very young. I love animals and children and getting to work with them, and they also love me! I can't wait to meet your fur (or scale) babies! I'm currently going to college part-time, so I have plenty of available time in my day. I am flexible with all hours and can work around your schedule as needed. I treat your pets and your home just as I would mine. I will give your fur babies and your personal space the love and respect they deserve. We will go over any rules and boundaries ahead of time so I can ensure I follow them. If you ever have any issues you can bring them to my attention right away.

My dog does not do well with boarding and can be standoffish and barky with new people. We hired Tianyi to come 3x per day for a walk when we were away and to make sure our dog's food and water were set. She was so great with our dog. She gave us updates and pictures. When we came home our dog was happy and excited and was in good health and spirits. We will definitely use Tianyi again! I highly recommend her.

Laura once again is wonderful! She consistently comes at the same time each day to take my foster dog out for a walk during lunch. Laura monitors what each dog’s abilities are and then adjusts the walk as needed, e.g., slowing down when my senior dog needs a bit of a break and hanging out in a grassy area. She is incredibly reliable, communicative, and truly enjoys her time with the dogs.
