“We have been so lucky to have Kaden caring for our two dogs. He is so responsible and reliable. When things come up, he is quick to communicate. It’s clear he really cares about the well being of our two girls. I would highly recommend him for any of your pet care needs.”
“Jane was amazing. She responded quickly to my messages and was able to accommodate my short notice booking. She was also very sweet and drove my dog to the next neighborhood over to walk him because my neighborhood is not walkable!”
“Terra was wonderful! She went above and beyond our expectations, and our dogs liked her too! For as long as we are in San Diego she’ll always be our favorite dog walker.”
“Susanne has done a great job with Rex and Riley. Rex always gets nervous with new people but she handled our big boy well, so calm and non threatening. We’ve booked her multiple times already and will continue to do so! 🤗”
“Brooklyn is an amazing walker who cared for our dog Turnip as if she was her own. It’s hard to find someone as trustworthy and down to earth as she is and if we weren’t moving away we would still be using her!! I highly recommend Brooklyn for all of her services. 10/10.”
About: I’ve been personally caring for both cats and dogs for over 3 years, in addition to volunteering at the SPCA. Through that work, I’ve gained experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from playful puppies to senior cats needing extra care. I’ve helped socialize nervous rescues, maintained routines for high-energy pets, and provided gentle support for older animals. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and the genuine connection I build with every pet. I treat them like family and always prioritize their comfort and trust. Pet care fits into my weekly routine naturally. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day and on weekends. I enjoy staying active and love having pets as companions on walks and during downtime at home. I always follow detailed care instructions and make safety a top priority—whether in your home or mine. I ensure pets are secure, supervise playtime, and keep their routines consistent. I also provide updates with photos so you feel connected and confident while you're away.
“Clayton was on time/energetic and ready to match the energy of our baby corgi. He accommodated my last minute scheduling conflicts and stayed in contact the entire time. Will definitely have him walk Benji again!”
About: I am very comfortable with both cats and dogs. With over 15 years of experience pet-sitting, I have cared for the spiciest of felines and most anxious of pups. Your fur babies will be well fed, groomed, and played with while I am there. Additionally, I have experience administering oral medications to both felines and canines. I am a graduate student who is working part time as a substitute teacher. My schedule is very flexible, and I am happy to work your fur baby’s care into my day! I will ask to meet you and your pet(s) prior to booking to ensure we are a good fit! It is my priority to provide the highest caliber of care.
About: I love all and every fur baby. Have been pet sitting for many family friends for many years. I currently watch over 2 senior dogs for the past couple years. I also have experience with caring for puppies and understand the time and care that goes into raising these little fur babies. I am a senior at San Diego State and am home for the summer. I typically have plenty of free time with a break from classes. I love animals and would love to spend as much of my free time as possible caring for them and hanging out with them. I am a very diligent rule follower with specific requests regarding the care for your dog/cat. I will deliver the best care I can do for your pets like they are my own. I love my 2 cats with all my heart and will make sure your pets get the same love that I would give my own boys.
About: My entire life I have had at least one dog in my family. My sister is a Vet Tech and my Dad was a dog groomer. I feel that I can provide a safe environment for your pet but also leave you with the confidence knowing your pet is well taken care of as they are a part of the family. Also be sure that your home will be secured and looked after as well so you can leave and feel that everything is taken care of! I work from home and am available for your dog to come here during the day or for me to walk your dog as needed. I live in a house with a fenced in backyard that your pet would be secure in. I work from home and am looking to make extra income doing the things I love, help service others and taking care of pets. Thanks I would treat someone else's home like mine. I have house and dog sat for years and am extremely trustworthy. Also can help with light chores, taking out trash and collecting mail.
About: I've had animals my whole life and taking primary care for them was one of my first "big kid" tasks and I couldn't have been more thrilled. Giving love, scritches, walks, and ball throws is what I live for. If I'm not covered in fur at the end of the day, did it even happen? I'm a part time working mom with a flexible schedule. I would love to give your dog or cat that mid-day break they might crave while you're stuck in the office trying to earn them a bigger backyard. I'm happy to care for your pets in the same way you would. If a quick walk and kennel is all your furry friend needs, sign me up! If you need a mid-afternoon litter scoop because your kitty is very particular about the state of her litter box, no problem! If you need ball throwing, cuddle time, or anything else to make your furball feel the love, then let me know.
About: I grew up with at least 2-3 dogs in the house and they made my childhood so magical. I started as a mommy’s helper and pet sitter at 10 and then progressed to be a nanny (former) and house/pet sitter on the side for the past 6 years. I work completely remote for a flexible job, so my routine can fit around any pet care! I go on 5 mile walks daily and am more than happy to bring along a furry friend. I am a very tidy and clean person who is respectful of other’s homes. I will leave your house as good (if not better!) than I found it.
“Whitney is phenomenal! She has looked after and walked our dog quite a few times and has taken such wonderful care of her. She is always on time and takes our dog on amazingly long walks which is so appreciated Bc our dog is a husky and has so much energy. We highly recommend her :-) and feel lucky to have someone so trustworthy to watch after our fur baby!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. As someone who once traveled extensively for work, it was important to me to find a sitter who I knew would take care of my animals, just as well as me. Now that I have semi-retired, I get to focus on my passions. Walks, playtime, cuddle time, and yappy hour are all services I offer. I can accommodate whatever your pet’s needs may be. I will work with the routine you have created to keep your pet’s care routine seamless. I will treat your animal with the same love and compassion as I would my own. Safety is paramount and I want to ensure that when outside, the animal will be on a leash and in an environment where they will be comfortable walking.
“Rebecca was amazing with our pup Koda, who is a bigger dog. She is very responsive and communicative. We appreciated her help so much she gave us peace of mind during our trip!”
About: Full time pet care professional - your pets are my priority! I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Every pet is unique, with their own personality, and I am excited to take care of them and earn their trust to become a reliable sitter that they enjoy seeing. Fast paced and playful or laid-back and lounging, conforming to your pets lifestyle is important to me - I also send updates at least once a day, as well as pictures, so you don’t miss your babies too much! About Me: As a full time sitter, I get lots of 1 on 1 time with my furry guests! I love having a head to pet or ball to throw throughout the day, and spend a majority of my time at home with my ever-growing, extended fur-family. I have extensive experience with fear-free basic training, including walk fundamentals, as well as trust building training and practices. I am also well versed in administering medications (liquid, pill, and subcutaneous) to pets with special needs and health conditions, including senior dogs (I love a frosted face!) I have a darling, 15 year old, Chinese Crested named Kovu who spends her golden years napping and welcoming her furry friends with a sniff and a shake. Having two special needs dogs in recent years, I know how hard it is to leave your little loves behind. I am also independently insured as a pet sitter, daycare provider, pet trainer, and pet taxi through Pet Care Insurance (PCI). About My Home: My home features a large, fenced-in yard on a quiet street with tons of space for pups to run around and play. When the weather allows, they’re given free rein of the inside and outside of my home. The maximum time a dog is ever alone in my home is 2 hours (when I need to grocery shop or go to an appointment), but there is always a dog-loving adult family member home in case of an unexpected emergency. I am not a sitter who boards as many pets as possible, as that is too stressful on the dogs and is not the kind of care I would want my baby to receive. I only allow up to 2 pet families to book on any day, and my rates reflect the individual attention, love, and calm environment that your pups receive in my care. I like to have a hands-on approach when pet sitting, and anything we can do together, we do together! Pups love coming over to my home because they know they’re in for a fun time!
