Pet Sitting San Marino

About: My jack russell terrier has been training me to take care of energetic dogs since I was 12 and I’ve even helped my neighbors with dog sitting for vacations, as well as many, many walks with all various types of dogs from puppies to elderly and little to big dogs 🫶🏻 Hoping to manage my pet care time with a high majority of my week to help pay for college over the summer! From morning walks to afternoon walks as well as house sitting, making sure the dog stays active while also receiving ALOT of love is my natural daily routine as a jack russell owner! The pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities and I’ll make sure to keep your home clean and secure while making sure your pet receives exercise, lotssss of affection, and its also important to me that ill keep the owner updated with little updates about how their best friend is doing!

About: I have solid dog-raising experience: I raised my Pitbull from 2 months old to 2 years old, and he regularly slept beside me as a puppy. I absolutely adore puppies and all dogs in general, and this close companionship helped me learn to read dog body language, manage energetic, strong breeds, and maintain safety on walks and drop-in visits. I always schedule meet-and-greets and only take on one-on-one care for every dog. Im currently work Monday-Friday 9-6 anytime after 6pm is an yes for me and im off on weekend so free free to bookings I only provide one-on-one walking and drop-in visits at clients’ homes. I keep a calm, quiet atmosphere, watch the dog’s body language closely, and always use proper leashes to avoid stress or danger. I never bring pets back to my place.

“This is my second booking with Laura, she is such a sweet person. She is so patient with my cats and so attentive to every aspect of their care. She’s the only sitter for me 😊”

About: I come from a family that has loved and raised 3 bulldogs. Two out of three of those bulldogs were in our care starting from when they were 6 months old. Growing up, I would often have to babysit my pets when my parents went on trips. I am no stranger to big, strong dogs or how rough they like to play. I am also familiar with dogs who are not friendly with other dogs. I had a Shiba Inu and a bulldog who were not friendly with other dogs. When it comes to pets like that, I’m very careful and aware of my surroundings. I will always respect a pet’s boundaries. I understand that pets are considered family and should be treated as such. I previously lived with a family that had multiple cats in their care. I loved chilling and playing with them. Living in that house taught me that (unlike most dogs) most cats have their boundaries and will have to come to you. Pets of all sizes and breeds bring me a lot of joy. As much as I love dogs, I have a soft spot for cats and hope to have one of my own someday. I am currently unemployed and graduated college a year ago, so I have a flexible weekday schedule. Weekends are slightly restrictive since I like to allot that time for my personal life. The house I currently live in has a zero-tolerance policy for pets. However, I am capable of following instructions and caring for pets - having lived with my parents who owned dogs, cats, turtles, and hamsters as I was growing up.

“Sahirah took such amazing care of my silly kitty Miles over the holidays. I can’t thank her enough for all the love and attention she gave him. Sahirah is just a perfect angel!”

“Jessica did a great job! I have a very standoffish cat who warmed up to her instantly. She is very thorough and attentive to detail. I also loved the reports she gave at the end of each visit. I was able to relax on my trip, knowing that my pets were in her care.”

Christie T.

“Kind and loving with the cats. Very communicative. Sent lots of photos and updates.”

“April did a wonderful job checking in our two dogs for midday breaks this week! She was very communicative and made sure to address all the things we asked her to: enrichment activities for one pup and snuggles with another. I’ll definitely book her again!”

About: Hi! I recently graduated from UCSB and have a very flexible schedule this summer before starting my full-time job. I’ve dog sat for family friends, and neighbors over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for a Maltese for several weeks, looked after a German Shepherd, and watched other small and medium-sized dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to provide the same level of care and attention they receive at home. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care throughout the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can easily adjust to your dog’s normal routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never left alone for long periods of time. I live in a spacious townhouse with plenty of room for dogs to relax and move around comfortably. I also have a private porch where dogs can safely spend time outside and enjoy some fresh air. There is a coach outside for them to lay on. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, so I always follow owner instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, exercise, and any special care. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.

“Cristina is so loving and caring that our Goldie is already missing her… and it’s only been a few hours! There is no one else we would want to be Goldie’s best friend!”

About: I've had my own dogs and cats for most of my life ranging from easy going to skittish and temperamental. I've been a go to pet carer for family, friends, and for hire since I was a teenager. I have experience with pets with complex dietary needs, medication regiments, very shy animals who don't deal well with being apart from their families, and high energy critters who need lots of stimulation. I treat them all with the patience and kindness they deserve while they are apart from their owners. I'm not living with a pet for the first time in a long time and miss I am working part time, which leaves me very flexible to care for your pets on your schedule as needed for drop in care or longer stays with your pet in their own home including nights, weekends, and overnights. I have a spacious hatchback that I can use to transport your pets. I cannot care for pets in my own home due to a highly allergic roommate, but I can fetch pets and take them wherever they need to be.

“Nicole was amazing with my dogs and provided great care. Attentive, professional, and kind.”

Catherine R.

“Sonjia is absolutely fantastic! We thought our dogs would take naps after we left the house and left them with her but instead they played for almost the entire time we were gone. That’s a testament to how much they immediately liked her! It’s scary to leave our babies with someone new, especially with our puppy having some health issues but Sonjia immediately made us feel at ease and her expertise and confidence with animals/dogs was instantly apparent. So glad to have found her!!”

“We had a wonderful vacation knowing that our three kitties were being lovingly cared for. Felicia dropped in three times a day to feed and hug our kitties. One of our kitties is very shy and by the last day of our getaway, Putty was like "putty in her hands", literally. She sent multiple photos and a couple of videos. The kitties looked like they enjoyed their vacation as much as we did.”
