Jarrod did an excellent job talking care of Sophie and went above and beyond when she was having tummy troubles. We was very communicative and sent great photos. He also took great care of the house. I hope he is available the next time I need pet sitting... There is a reason he is in such high demand.

Sarah is such a sweetheart! My kitty Sasha is usually very nervous without me, but she took to Sarah so fast. They were playing together on day 2! I appreciate Sarah’s thoughtful care and am grateful to have solid pet care in San Diego.

What can you say about Vanessa besides the fact that she is amazing. On less than a day’s notice, she was kind enough to do a meet and greet and then house sit my pup for the week. Vanessa is extremely communicative and helpful. You’ll never have to guess about the status of your pup or home when she’s around. I felt extremely comfortable with her in my home and she even left it cleaner than she found it. I would recommend Vanessa to all of my friends and book her services again any time.

About: I've always had pets ever since I was very little, I adore all pets. I have had many, and currently have kitties and a puppy! I know a lot on how to care for them, and love playing with them to keep them happy and stimulated. I currently spend most of my time at home with my own pets, I occasionally babysit family as well. I love spending time outside, and hiking with my pets too! When I do in home care or check-ups I always want to make sure the pet is well taken care for so I always check their water, food, and let them go potty if it's a dog. I play with each pet to make them happy and have a fun activity, also walks are great. I can walk for miles if you have a dog that loves or needs a long walk, I'm all about keeping your pet happy and healthy!

Monica is amazing! From the first meet and greet we had with myself and my dog, I could tell immediately she is kind, attentive and reliable. I got regular updates and photos during her stay with my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I returned to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for pup. She is truly gifted with animals and it shows!! Thank you Monica! Highly recommend reaching out to her :)

My old dog Frank enjoyed having Vanessa/Arlett stay with him. She was so nice and responsible, and sent multiple pictures each day and let me know how he was doing. She followed my instructions, and asked how to modify things when needed. I know Frank would be happy to see her again!

About: My experience is mostly with cats, but I love meeting new puppies and getting to know their personalities. Each pet is special and deserves to feel safe when their parents are away. I work from home and can generally maintain your preferred schedule of check ins! I also love spending time with your cats if they need more attention than normal because you’re gone. I will make sure your kitties are well fed and have plenty of access to fresh water. I also know that having a stranger in their home can be hard so I will make sure that I keep to their boundaries while still letting them know they are loved and taken care of. The litter box will be cleaned every visit so no need to worry about any mess when you get home.

About: Hi, I’m Amanda and have had dogs since I was a teenager. I helped care at end of life and the experience taught me how to deal with health complications. I also fostered a rescue dog with severe anxiety. I learned how to train and manage anxiety and helping them feel more comfortable. I have basic training and skills in potty, commands, walking, and anxiety management. I’m a Navy Veteran with emergency medicine training and a full time student so I’m reliable and confident in stressful situations. I love playtime, training, and cuddling. I hope to make pets feel comfortable and happy. I’m currently free most days of the week this summer because I’m not in school for the summer. I am flexible and can do weekends as well. I have no pets currently and have an apartment. I prefer to go to clients homes only because I don’t have a yard but I can take them to potty outside. I also live alone with no roommates or no children around.

About: I'm a true animal lover & will pour so much joy, care & LOVE into your sweet baby! I've been a dog mom for 16 years & raised my sweet baby girl since she was 6 months old. She was my soulmate dog & the little love of my life. Her name was Boomie (aka Angel Bug) & she was a Norwich Terrier. I loved her more than anything in the world and went through all her senior doggy health challenges too. She very recently crossed the rainbow bridge and passed away peacefully in my arms. I've been heartbroken and feel a huge empty hole in my life without her which is part of why I want to do pet sitting. I also have raised and loved a few cats and love taking care of cats too. I'm very present, aware and attentive and will make sure your fur baby will be safe and feel loved. I work remote part-time and will happily devote 100% of my time and loving care for your fur baby! I'm looking for extended house sitting + pet sitting opportunites. I will treat your animals with the upmost loving care and will protect them as if they were mine. I am very responsible and will follow whatever routines you have in place and can manage taking care of senior animals who might be more fragile and need a gentle tender care-taker. I would love to help make sure your baby is safe and sound until you return!

Paige was able to watch our pup last minute when he got a mild case of Kennel Cough and we had a trip planned. She gave us updates, administered meds, and gave Finn lots of snuggles. We are SO thankful for her, and 10000% would recommended her to anyone!

Meagan is truly the best dog sitter I could ask for. She’s my go-to sitter, and I trust her completely with both my dog and my home. Whenever I’m out of town and she’s staying at my place, I have total peace of mind knowing everything is handled. She’s incredibly responsible, communicative, and so loving with my dog—it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares. Being able to travel without any stress or worry is such a gift, and that’s entirely because of Meagan. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and amazing with pets, I genuinely cannot recommend her enough.

Karla was very patient with him on their first day together. By the second day he was feeling much better & snuggling with her. She was very respectful of our space & left our house super clean. She was reassuring to any of my concerns & sent plenty of pictures.
