Pet Sitting San Carlos

“I had a good experience overall with Paige. She stayed for the full hour as requested, cleaned the litter boxes, sent lots of pictures and updates, cuddled with the cats, and left the apartment tidy afterward. It was clear she cared about making the cats comfortable while I was away.”

“Stefanie helped us with a couple lunchtime drop ins for our 5 month old lab pup Evie. Stefanie was timely and sent updates throughout the visits. She also included fun photos and left detailed notes on her visits. Thanks again Stefanie!”

About: I have taken care of animals all my life, from horses to guinea pigs to dogs and cats etc. Neighbors, friends and family have entrusted me to care for their pets many times! I am excited to continue my interactions with pets here in San Diego! As I currently have a loving cat, I am looking for even more pet love! I am currently in the process of transitioning jobs so I am much more available than usual! I am very open and very flexible! Please don’t hesitate to reach out and take advantage of this before the new year!! I promise you will not be disappointed in my services! I plan to treat each pet as if they were my own. I will also make sure to care for my client’s pets by providing the love and necessities each pet needs. I understand each pet is very unique and it’s just a matter of knowing what their necessities are!

About: I've loved animals my whole life and treat them as I do my own children with much TLC. I feel animals are just as important and need care as much as we do. They are the most genuine and purest form of love and friendship one can endure. I used to run a infant and toddler home daycare and now I'm interested in expanding my pet sitting business. I have more free time as I've closed the home business and venturing out in pet care. I prefer care in the owner's home where the pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I will feed, pickup droppings, walk and snuggle.

“Jane was an incredible sitter for our kitties who were on their own for the first time. She took the time to come over before our trip so she could meet our cats who are scared around new people. She was very interactive during her visits, sending pictures and keeping us updated. Our shy cat waffle even warmed up to her and came out to see her. Could not recommend Jane enough!”

“Whitney is my absolute go to, she cares for my pups in a way that only a true dog lover can; whether I’m away for a day or a week she’s always my first and only for my pups; and they absolutely adore her and are always super excited to see her walk through the door. 10/10 Recommend”

“Rebecca was an amazing sitter! She cared for my cat so kindly and even left him a Christmas present at the end of her time. It was so nice knowing he was being cared for so well while I traveled for the holidays <3”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years. I love the joy they bring to others. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I would love to help care for your dog, whether it’s sitting or walking. I am pursuing pet care full time so my schedule is flexible for walks and pet sitting. I will work with you to make sure your dog is taken care of and happy! I am very thorough in making sure every pet has a safe and comfortable space. I have a friendly dog of my own and can bring him along if your pet wants a play buddy!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’ve always been around and cared for animals. I also have experience with leash aggressive dogs — my dog at home can be reactive around other dogs, so I have learned how to handle those situations calmly and safely. I am currently a student taking online courses over the summer, so I am often available everyday of the week unless I had prior commitments/appointments. I always check in with owners about their pet’s behavior before a walk or visit, so I know what to be aware of and what works best so I can make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.

About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old. In recent years, I have done overnight stays which included feedings, giving vitamins, play, walks, and more! I am currently a college student with flexible hours which allows me to have time to watch your pups! I am available most days with limited availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am able to abide by requests you may have, I know what it is like to have a dog with specific needs and wants!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes working with Border Collies and Great Pyrenees in a ranch setting, where they herded and guarded sheep, as well as providing professional care at a busy dog daycare. I also have extensive experience caring for large-breed family dogs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I believe every pet deserves patience, consistency, and individualized care. My goal is to make every walk or visit a positive experience so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and well cared for. Thanks for stopping by my profile! I work part-time caring for dogs professionally, so spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy every day. I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. I may also be available on my workdays depending on my schedule. I appreciate at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible so I can plan my day and give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether your companion is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! One of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each animal’s unique personality, communication style, and routines so they feel comfortable and understood. Every dog is different, so my first priority is building trust. When we first meet, I give each dog the time and space they need while I observe their personality, body language, and comfort level. From there, I adjust my approach to match what helps them feel safe and confident. I believe in treating every dog with kindness, respect, and clear boundaries. I use positive reinforcement—including praise, encouragement, and treats when appropriate—to reinforce good behavior. Rather than relying on punishment, I focus on redirecting unwanted behaviors and setting dogs up for success in a calm, consistent way. Whether we’re playing at home or out on a walk, safety always comes first. I enjoy interactive play while maintaining a safe environment, and I tailor each walk to the individual dog. Some dogs are happiest walking calmly at my side, while others enjoy taking the lead, and I’m happy to adapt to what is safest and most comfortable for them. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel secure, understood, and genuinely excited to spend time with me. When I enter a dog’s home, I remember that I’m stepping into their familiar space. My first priority is helping them feel safe and comfortable with my presence. I allow each dog to approach at their own pace, paying close attention to their body language and personality so I can build trust before asking anything of them. Once a dog is comfortable, I love engaging them through safe, interactive play that matches their energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to provide both physical exercise and positive companionship while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries. I strive to leave every dog feeling secure, respected, and excited to see me again. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoying our time together. I don’t expect dogs to adapt to me—I adapt to the dog while providing clear, consistent boundaries.

“Kasandra was a perfect fit for me and my puppy Theo. He loved playing with her and I loved getting pictures while I was at work! She was super flexible with time which is great due to me working night shift! I felt really comfortable having her in my home and taking care of Theo! I will definitely be using her again!”

“From the moment I met Abby I knew she would be great ( that includes first texts! ). At our Meet and Greet she was courteous and truly enjoyed meeting my animals. I knew it was about the pets and how much she enjoys it. It was a short weekend trip and I did not worry about my pets at all or my home. Lots of great videos of my happy babies, she even kept the pet areas so neat and clean! Abby will be my go too Rover sitter on our next trip!! Thank you so much Abby for taking such good care of my fur babies!! Highly recommend her😇”

About: I was raised surrounded by animals of all kinds that brought me so much joy and knowledge. I’m comfortable with tiny insects to large farm animals. I’ve done bottle feeding and walks with young animals. I’ve moved from home but would love to continue caring for animals all around! I work in education so my summer is open for anything! Only my Sundays am I usually busy in the morning to afternoon. I’ll seek to meet your needs as best as I can! :) My services will cater to you and your pet’s needs! I’ll always want to read the room to know the pets needs, while ensuring I stick to their care-schedule and keep them fed, entertained, and well kept in a clean environment!
