About: I’ve taking care of many animals, puppy to old. I’ve trained my Akita since she was a puppy and know what it takes to care for stubborn dogs. I’m very attentive and will always make sure the animal comes first. I currently work a full time job but it’s fairly flexible when it comes to tasks I need to complete. On top of working full time I am also very excited to work extra hours because I love staying busy and being around animals! I make sure they always have fresh water and make sure the dog has everything they need right as I get there. As I’m leaving, I make sure to clean up after not only myself and the dog, but also make sure I tidy up a space better than I found it!
“Samantha did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated with photos and messages. I came home to two very happy and well cared for cats.”
“Rongyuan kept us updated and informed during her visits with Niko. They both got along well and Rongyuan was a quick learner while being taught how to express Nikos bladder. Thank you for watching Niko!”
“AJ is great with my dogs, I’ve scheduled him for walks and drop ins and he’s great with both. He’s very attentive and follows specific instructions/details to a T! Super easy to communicate with and very nice guy.”
About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of my dog and multiple neoghbors dogs. I am good at following instructions to meet each dogs' individual needs. I also have experience cat sitting and cat fostering. This is my summer break so I can take care of any pet at any time. I also have a car, so transportation will not be a problem. I will be attentive to your pet at all times. Nothing is more important than the well-being of your pet and that will be my sole focus.
“Kristen was absolutely outstanding. She communicated with us at every visit, followed every request and went above and beyond. She allowed us to relax and not worry about our lil Friday while on vacation. Felt like a friend or family member was watching her. We will absolutely reach out again. THANK YOU!!”
“Marines was fantastic watching Potpot... she asked detailed questions and was very flexible to accommodate. I didn't worry one bit as I was at a location that didn't have cell reception. I will definitely use her again in the near future! Thank you for taking good care of my nugget ??”
About: Hi! I moved to San Diego in July '22, and really enjoy all the outdoor space and amenities available to keeping our pets happy and healthy! I currently have a 15 year old female cocker spaniel named Coco, a 3 year old pit shepherd named Cali, and 2 year old boxer shepherd named Mocha. I love taking them on walks, exploring new neighborhoods together, and giving them all the love and attention they deserve! I'd very much welcome being a part of your pets' lives (dogs and cats) and I'll make sure to give them all my love and attention while keeping things fun! I know there are many experienced dog handlers to choose from, and I thank you for entrusting me with your pets' daily routines. I work from home, and so I'm flexible for walks and drop ins, both weekdays and weekends. I'm generally available after 9am to care for your pets! Since I work from home, I'm with my dogs all the time, so I can easily keep my eye on them. My doors and gates are locked all the time, so no issues with them running out. I'll make sure to do the same at my client's home and I'm happy to follow any special requests they may have to care for their pets.
“Emily went above and beyond taking care of our (timid) cats. She put a lot of effort into encouraging them out of their hiding spots and getting us pics every day. She gave us total peace of mind, even managing the house temp during a heat wave. She is great with communication, always providing details and quick to respond to our questions. When we returned from our two week vacation, the cats' room was pristine- litter, water and food areas totally clean. Emily even dealt with an ant infestation promptly and we were able to resolve the issue from abroad quickly. We'll definitely be booking her next time. Thank you, Emily!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them.

“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Monica!! You can really tell how much she cares about the well being of your pet! She was so caring and patient with my sweet boy and I felt at ease knowing he was so well taken care of! Will absolutely request her again!! :)”
About: Aside from caring for our family dogs, I have housed and cared for foster dogs from puppies, special needs and senior dogs. I provided love, structure, lots of walks and basic training to give the pups their best chance at finding a forever home. I am recently retired and an empty nester. After having a house full of furry friends, we are now left with one cat. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. We have a large home with a fenced in back yard. I am comfortable with crating if that is what your pet is used to.
About: Growing up I have always loved spending time with animals. I lived in a small town when I was younger and many of my neighbors owned pets! Over the years I spent a lot of time with dogs, both big and small, and cats too! Although I would love to own a cat/dog right now, I am unable to do so but love getting to spend time with them while I can. I own two hamsters right now in the mean time who I love equally as much as cats and dogs! My availability is pretty flexible throughout the week, even more so on weekends. Please check my calendar for my availabilities :) I am usually up-to-date! Like my hamsters, I ensure I will provide your pet the care it needs (water, food, bathroom). I will also treat your pet like I would as my own! A friend that I give my attention and care to!

May S.
“A quote I’ve lived by my whole life is “how you do something, is how you do everything.” This means always having your best foot forward no matter the circumstance. May falls under this category of person that is always up for a challenge by having the patience and care to work through anything thrown her way. She is always going to have her best foot forward in anything she does. You might be asking yourself how does this carry over into being a pet caregiver? Ive know May for over 6yrs and in that time my dog had to undergo surgery to remove cancer, which resulted in the loss of his hind leg. Ive never seen someone so willing to help out anywhere she could. From assisting with the PT to get him up and walking again to regularly checking in throughout the day while my family was out at work. This to me ties it all together that May is always going to have her best foot forward is anything that comes her way.”

Samantha did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats while we were traveling. One of them was very timid by nature and immediately went hiding as soon as Samantha started her visits. Samantha was determined to find him, and she successfully found his hiding place after searching every where for a few days. Samantha is very good at getting them comfortable with her. Samantha is very reliable and a quick learner with our Litter Robot 4. We appreciate Samantha's determination and all the TLC she gives to our 2 cats. We definitely will have Samantha take care of them again, and we highly recommend her.
Our dog, Zeus, seemed to have the best time with Julia! After a weekend of being away, we returned to a happy and cheerful dog. We also received updates and cute photos after each drop in. Julia was very punctual, responsive, friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be booking again and recommend to anyone!
Sealani was amazing just like she was the first time. She is so good, kind, and gentle too Koda. He is a big fan of hers and he goes above and beyond by taking him on a run since he is high energy. I would definitely use her again. For all my dog watching/loving needs.
Emily was a joy to have checking in on our cat. She was punctual and flexible with additional requests like watering our plants. She was very responsive and clear in her communications. She will be our go to sitter to check in on the little dude when we are out.
