Pet Sitting San Diego

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’m happy to provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for—and for you to feel completely confident while you’re away! I also work fully remote and I am available during the weekdays! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while still maintaining a consistent routine. Because I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also flexible with different schedules and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away! I’ve been caring for coworkers’, friends’, and family members’ pets for over 8 years. I don’t have pets of my own, so I’m able to give your pet my full attention. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment while following their normal routine and your care instructions closely!

About: Hi my name is Abby! I have cared for and been around dogs my entire life. Grew up mainly with Rotties, so I have a special love for big dogs. I also did pet sitting for neighbors on and off throughout high school and college. Earlier this year I also fostered a Husky for 3 months, my roommate at the time was able to adopt him so I still see him regularly when I visit her. I am very active and love to go on walks, runs, and even hikes with doggies. I currently live a very pet friendly building with a dog spa and a nearby dog park. I do not have any pets currently so this is perfect to make some extra bucks while I am in graduate school and get in some much needed dog time. I’m currently in graduate school, so my schedule has some flexibility throughout the week. I am available Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I also have time Tuesdays after 2pm. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy staying active with dogs through walks, runs, and hikes! I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and grew up primarily with Rottweilers, so I’m very comfortable and confident around big dogs. I’ve also pet-sat for neighbors throughout high school and college and recently fostered a Husky for three months. I currently have no pets of my own, and I live in a very pet-friendly building with a dog spa and nearby dog park. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and individual routine while making sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime.

About: I love spending time with my 13 year old pug, Yoshi. I enjoy meeting all of the dogs, and I understand deeply how important pets are to us. I am currently working part-time, and that leaves me plenty of time through the week to get out, enjoy the beautiful weather and hang out with your dog! Having had a variety of dogs throughout my life, I understand that every dog, and their needs, are unique. So wether yours needs slow walks in the grass or long walks downtown, I'll get those paws moving!

“She is the best rover we’ve ever had. Extremely communicative, can problem solve, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with the animals. Highly recommend!!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was a child, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels for over 11 years. I was the proud owner of a special-needs senior dog who I cared for from the time I was 18 until he peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge, so I understand the patience, dedication, and unconditional love our pets deserve. I also regularly dog sit and have experience walking large breeds, handling excited or strong dogs on leash, and staying calm in stressful situations. Safety is always my top priority, whether we’re out for a walk or relaxing at home. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, making sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, routine, and personalized care. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re apart. I’m currently in school, so I appreciate the flexibility that pet sitting provides. Outside of occasional Monday and Wednesday mornings, my schedule is very open, and I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. If you’re located in the downtown area, I’m especially available for drop-in visits, walks, feedings, or last-minute check-ins. Caring for animals has been part of my daily routine for over 10 years, so fitting pet care into my schedule comes naturally. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. I understand how important consistency is, so I’ll follow your care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. I pay close attention to each animal’s body language and behavior and can recognize when something seems off. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and medical needs, and I remain calm in stressful situations. I treat every pet as if they were my own, keeping them safe, loved, entertained, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

“Aleksandra always does a great job watching over my very senior cat! She is always very responsive to messages and keeps me very updated with how things are going.”

“Jarrod is amazing! I was very nervous before meeting him about how my two dogs would react to a stranger watching them and taking them out on walks. But, as soon as I met him, I felt so much more at ease because he jumped right in and helped my dogs feel comfortable. One of my dogs can be reactive especially in our apartment elevator so I did not want to let just anyone watch him, I needed to make sure it was someone who really knew what they were doing and how to handle it. Jarrod did fantastic with this and was very understanding too. He kept me up to date throughout the day so i felt comfortable. I feel so relieved having found him and will absolutely work with him again. Thank you, Jarrod!”

About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

“Darya is great! She puppy sat our little ladies ( a Chiweenie and a Chihuahua) at our hotel while we went out to dinner and a show. She kept our pups comfortable and safe and even stayed longer as there was a lot of traffic getting back to the hotel. We highly recommend them and we will be calling again! 😊”

About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog (does not live with me). I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!

“Joseph is prompt, responsive, and exceptionally competent, especially with our old dog who needs lots of special care and patience. We have booked Joseph for a multi-day vacation, and I’m confident he will do well with both our dogs that week too.”

About: I’m a big animal person! I’ve always grown up with a number of different animals that, of course, includes cats and dogs. I’ve dog sat puppies, teenage, and senior dogs alike! I started dog sitting for friends and family when I was about 16, and have always lived with dogs. I super understand how fur babies are just like family and have a big heart for them! I’m currently a full time student and I work part time. I have been having an itch to spend time with dogs because they just make me happy to be honest! Life can be stressful, so I’d consider caring for your pups a stress relief and a middle booster for sure. I can’t exactly have my own dog at the moment, so I thought pet sitting might be the next best thing! I would follow the owners guidelines and make sure to take care of wolf their fur babies exactly how they would! Playing with them, feeding them, taking them out, and giving them cuddles whatever it may be! I have a cat who is my best friend so I understand how important these fur babies are to us!

“Denise was very communicative and took very good care of my dog Deacon. When I returned home everything was well put together, and my dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely book with her again.”

About: "Hillary loves dogs more than people," is a common sentiment my friends and family have. I am always the one who ends up on the floor to hang out with the dogs, asking to pet dogs while in public, and offering to dog sit for my neighbors while in the elevator. My love for animals started at a young age, since I was an only child, they were often seen as my "siblings". I've never lived in a home with just one pet. At one point, we had four dogs (and two cats) and the house was full of love and fur. I'm the person that friends and family (and those they introduce me to) call on to watch their pets. They know that I am reliable, consistent, and a great communicator. I've had small dogs (terriers, chiweenie), medium size dogs (retrievers, labs) and large dogs ( newfoundlands, goldendoodle). Currently, I do not have any pets in my household. I will also travel outside of San Diego for sitting, and require flight and ubers to be covered. I work from home, Monday through Friday, with a flexible timing schedule. I commit to a 60 minute break in the middle of the day for balance. My evenings are often open, as well. I live in an apartment and would allow pets to come stay with me, and have constant attention since I work from home. We abide by existing routines, or build our own that include an early potty break, breakfast, a walk, an afternoon potty walk and break, dinner, an evening potty walk and break, and wrapping with a pre-bed time potty. Caring for a pet at their home would look very similar, and would include more familiarity and comfort given it is their home.

About: I have worked with dogs for more than a year and would definitely be the best pet sitter & walker and treat them like my own. i am avaliable part time due to enrolling in college. I am pretty flexible with scheduling and will do my best to work hard and as many hours to take care of the fur babies. I can easily follow directions and will make sure to go the extra mile to keep any dog/dogs safe and make sure they are always happy and comfortable around me and also plan to keep the owners updated as much as possible throughout my care.

About: I started by taking care of my moms 4 dogs when she would go on vacations and needed a dog sitter. That really taught me how to feed them efficiently and when to take them outside to go potty. From there I learned how to hang out with them and play with them efficiently. I am a college student with classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I am available for the entire day and night. On Wednesday and Friday I'm available at night, Monday I'm not because I have a night class. Staying over night is not a problem, along with check ins during the days even on school days. I love dogs and am really good at feeding them, taking them outside, and playing with them. I'm not a trainer, but someone who is good at taking care of them while you are away. My mom has 4 small dogs so I'm very familiar with smaller dogs, but I have also watched bigger dogs as well.

“Kaitlyn was extremely communicative, punctual, kind, good-humored, and got along very well with my cat. My cat seemed well cared for when I got back from my two week trip and everything was tidy and in its place. I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kaitlyn!”

“Sandra is great with my basset hounds. They were not happy about getting their bath at first (being the spoiled children they are), but she has charmed them and now they are happy to see her!”
