“Juliana was a lifesaver for taking in my last minute booking to watch my dog, Ozzy. She was very attentive and always spends extra time with my dog. She takes initiative when issues arise and reports to me when problem has been handled. We’re so grateful for you!”
“Alejandra took very good care of our fur babies while we were away. We never have to worry when our fur babies & home are under her care. She’s very vigilant & appreciate her daily detailed updates. Will definitely be utilizing her services again in the near future. Thank you so much again!”
“Trustworthy, shows up on time, takes time to give human touch and play with my pets, competent, experienced, intelligent, thoughtful. Took care of 2 cats for 18 days, took pics of every encounter, clocked in and out, zero problems and my cats came right up to me when I walked in the door. No pouting, anger or hiding. They were cared fie, and it shows.”

About: I have taken care of guinea pigs since I was 12-years-old, and they're very sensitive pets! I currently take care of my 7 & 3 year-old cats. I also have 2 mice named Amy Farrah Fowler & Bernadette. :) I'm a pet carer every second I'm not at school. I just graduated with my Bachelor's degree at SDSU. Outside of that, I am employed so my availability is limited. I clean my cats litter and vacuum daily, so I have no issue cleaning messes or necessities. Let me know if you have specific cleaning techniques I should know!
About: I’ve grown up caring for ducks, cats, dogs, and birds! I was a Vet Tech Assistant for 3 years, loved my time there! I currently have 3 cats and a maltipoo (shown in the picture)! I’m a college student who attends via online! I work few hours at my job and so just looking to be active and have a little fun time in between coursework! My breaks are flexible as I decide when I want to take them! My pets live harmoniously so I use a cat wand to play with 3 cats and my dog! Ivy(my dog) has more energy so I take her to the park daily to play fetch and minimum hours walks (depending how she’s feeling).
About: I've been taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages since I can remember.
