Pet Sitting Rancho Santa Fe

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly can’t imagine life without animals. I grew up on a cattle ranch surrounded by dogs and cats so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From raising puppies to loving senior dogs through their golden years, I’ve experienced every stage and I cherish them all. I grew up with two Labradors and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and I currently have an 8 yr old rescue Chiweenie from Mexico and a 13 yr old Goldendoodle. Caring for a senior dog has given me a deep understanding of patience, attentiveness, and gentle care. For the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with 2 local dog rescues which has given me extensive experience with all types of dogs including those who are reactive, anxious or strong leash pullers. I’m comfortable administering medication and always approach each dog with a calm and loving energy. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe and completely loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and jogs, or prefers slow sniff filled strolls or cozy cuddle time at home, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and at ease. My goal is to become your go-to, trusted dog walker and someone your dog gets genuinely excited to see! I truly love dogs so much and I can’t wait to meet yours 🤍 I currently have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be fully present during my time with dog. I'm available weekday or weekend care. Safety and trust are everything to me. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can care for them just like you would. On walks, I stay alert and mindful, with experience handling reactive or strong leash pullers, always prioritizing their safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent while making sure water is full, feeding routines are followed, and medications are given if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for ◡̈

“Paige was wonderful! This was our first experience with Rover and a drop in sitter in general. Paige followed all instructions and sent the best feedback and photos of our dog. Would absolutely book Paige again!”

“Drew did an excellent job visiting my cats. She got my very shy and timid cats to eat and socialize right away. Drew's updates and photos were super cute and very reassuring, and she gave me total confidence to enjoy my vacation. Highly recommended!”

“We're so lucky to have found Jessica to watch our cats over the Thanksgiving weekend, especially with our last minute booking. I can't imagine a better pet sitter. She was quick to respond to our messages, reliable, and professional. She sent detailed visit summaries every day with lots of pictures which made the time away from our babies much easier. She took time to play with them and give them treats and they seemed very content when we got home. Definitely would recommend her to anyone.”

“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”

Olha M.

“Danielle took great care of Percy!”

Michael M.

“Samantha was amazing! Her visit notes and pictures were very thorough. We also had an ant infestation in the house while we were away and she helped clear out the ants and made sure our kitty had everything she needed until we could get back. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: Over the past 6 years, I’ve also managed holiday pet sitting for various dogs, ensuring they stay active and happy while their owners are away. What truly sets me apart is my access to professional knowledge; my younger sister is pre-veterinary track. This background makes me extra attentive to pet health and safety. Whether your pet needs high-energy play or a calm companion, I provide a structured and loving environment tailored to their personality. I really enjoy being with cats and usually start my day seeing my own American Shorthair laying right outside my door. Since I work from home, my schedule is very flexible. I can provide consistent companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet gets plenty of attention, regular breaks, and interactive playtime without me ever having to leave the house. Safety is my top priority, and I’ve learned a lot from my sister who is currently in vet school. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly environment where my cat and your pets can feel secure. When sitting at a client's home, I am extremely diligent about following your specific household rules, double-checking locks, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s behavior and well-being at all times.

“Cary is a wonderful caring petsitter. She was just the right person to stay with our shy, quirky, older Bernese Mountain Dog. She understood that our girl is shy and needed to make the first moves to become friends, which Cary understood and they became good friends. Communication was great, lots of cute pics from walks and chilling out. 100% happy, 100% would use her again. Highly recommend her!”

“Aubrey is the best! Looks like our dog had a great time based on the adorable pictures she got of him, and everything was in order when we got home. Absolutely will keep using Aubrey to care for our boy!”

Gillian C.

“Annalisa is a perfect fit for our family. Coco Puff adores their time together. She is dependable, caring, and brings relief of my separation anxiety with my pet ❤️”

About: As a flexible college student looking for summer work, I have a schedule that allows me to dedicate reliable time and attention to the pets I care for. I have 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, caring for pets with a wide range of routines and medical needs. I’ve cared for dogs/cats from just a few months old to senior age, requiring extra patience, monitoring, and specialized care. I’m experienced administering oral medications, eye and ear medications, and topical treatments. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure pets stay safe, healthy, and comfortable.

I’ve owned and cared for a dog, six different cats, a horse, and rodents throughout my life.

As a college student not taking classes over the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day.

I truly try to care for every pet like they’re my own so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and leave them as clean, or cleaner, than I found them while carefully following all care instructions.

About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’m a 24-year-old active-duty service member with a lifelong passion for animals. My military background has taught me the importance of attention to detail, reliability, accountability, and clear communication—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. At 15 years old, I got my first German Shepherd and worked my first job to support and care for him on my own. He lived a happy, healthy, spoiled life and remained my best friend until he passed at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels, including Cane Corsos, Chihuahuas, Beagles, and many mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for small animals and reptiles, including rats, mice, snakes, and bearded dragons. Today, my husband and I share our home with two energetic Australian Cattle Dogs who are truly part of our family. They are spoiled with daily exercise, mental enrichment, adventures, healthy nutrition, training, treats, and plenty of love and attention. Caring for them has given me extensive experience managing high-energy dogs and understanding the importance of both physical activity and mental stimulation. When your pet is in my care, you can expect frequent updates, honest communication, and the peace of mind that they will be treated as if they were my own. I understand that trusting someone with your animal is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, structured care, or simply a dependable person to keep them company, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and positive experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time, but I am available every evening after 5:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and quality time with your pet. As an active person, I enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure pets receive the exercise, enrichment, and attention they need. Most weekends, I have greater flexibility and am available for walks, drop-in visits, and extended check-ins. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I strive to maintain their normal routines and provide dependable care while you’re away. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and attention to detail during every visit. I will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. At this time, I am not offering boarding services and focus exclusively on walks and in-home visits. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide dependable, professional care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. During each visit, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, and any special instructions. As a military medic with 7 years of experience, I am highly attentive to detail and understand the importance of following directions exactly as provided. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully secure doors, gates, and leashes, monitor your pet’s behavior and well-being, and maintain a clean and respectful environment in your home. I treat your property with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. You can also expect honest, reliable, and frequent communication. I provide updates and photos during visits so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and relaxed, or requires extra medical attention, I am committed to providing compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is simple: to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for, and that you return home knowing they were treated like family.
