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!

“Krystal was wonderful! So kind and responsible, she took fantastic care of my cat, who needs special care and medication. Krystal clearly has experience with animals and knew exactly how to approach my shy kitty so that my cat immediately loved her! She also sent pictures and regular updates of her visits. I would definitely book 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.

“Siona sis a wonderful job caring for Cheesy, our cat. She cleaned up his food plates for us. She brushed him a LOT, which keeps his shedding at bay and we received photos every visit. We will certainly use Siona again,”

About: I’ve worked professionally in pet boarding and daycare for about a year & a half, 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 pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved! I currently work part-time at a local boarding facility 2 days a week, usually in the late afternoons (about 2pm–7:30). I can do some weekdays, but I have a lot more availability on weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, etc. You can count on me to provide reliable care & plenty of playtime for your pets 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

“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: 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.

“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!”

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!

“Jason was amazing! He took great care of our dogs and kept us so well informed. Would definitely book again in the future.”

About: Hello! My name is Arleene. I’m an outgoing, caring, and responsible pet lover who enjoys making dogs and cats feel happy and safe. I love going on walks, playing, and bonding with every pet I meet. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, so I’m very familiar with the do’s and don’ts of caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m currently an online college student working toward my BSN, which means I’m home often and very easy to reach, I always have my phone on me! You can trust that your fur baby will be treated like family in my home, with plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m home most days as an online student, and I’m only in-office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I plan walks, feeding, and playtime around my schedule to make sure every pet gets consistent care and attention every day. In my home, I give pets daily walks, playtime, attention, and a clean, comfortable space. I follow their routines closely so they feel safe. In a client’s home, I stick to their normal schedule, feed them as instructed, walk or play with them, clean up after them, and make sure they get plenty of love and company.

“Victoria ROCKS!!”
