“Elizabeth is such a light in this world! She is so incredibly kind and thoughtful. She went out of her way during a hard time to make sure everything went as smoothly as it could be. I 100% trust her and would absolutely hire her again if I need to! Highly recommend her!”
“I was so glad that Jiselle could look in on my cats while I was away for 8 days! She always sent photos, and a description of how she fed and cleaned up after my pets... even after they made a mess! I can tell that Jiselle really cares about pets, and I can offer my hearty recommendation for her as a pet sitter.”
About: With 6 years of experience with my own adorable dachshunds, I understand the level of care our pets deserve! From the energetic puppy zoomies to the coach potato pups or anything else between, I have experience with it all. I take time to get to know your pup’s personality and preferences to make sure they are getting the most of my attention. I am also experienced with anxiety-prone pets and love to snap cute pictures to send to you during my visit! Can’t wait to meet your pup! I am currently studying at SDSU in the major of Zoology! In my off-time, I like to be active and outdoors; it would be great to take your pup with me on adventures! I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of shade and sun if your pet likes to sunbathe (like my daschund). As well as a doggy door that connects to my living room for free access to in/outdoors. I have a 6 year old doxie named Vienna. She is a huge coach potato if your pup likes to snuggly and she loves a good game of tug of war!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, experience, and genuine love for animals—paired with a calm, patient approach that pets respond to. I don’t just watch pets; I build trust with them. Whether it's helping a nervous pup feel safe, administering medications to a senior dog, or maintaining consistent routines for multi-pet households, I treat each animal as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening check-ins, I prioritize consistency and reliability for every pet I care for. I build my schedule around the needs of each animal, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or at a client’s, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that mirrors their routine and reduces stress. In My Home: I provide a calm, pet-friendly space where animals can feel at ease. I follow their feeding, walking, and sleeping routines closely, offer supervised playtime, and ensure they’re never left alone for long periods. I also separate pets when needed for safety and comfort, and I keep a clean, secure environment with pet-proofed areas. In the Client’s Home: I treat the space with respect and care while maintaining the pet’s familiar environment. I stick to their established schedule, including meals, walks, medication, and playtime. I also send regular updates, photos, and notes so pet parents feel connected and confident while they’re away. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, communication, and individualized care so each pet feels loved and well cared for.

About: Hi! My first word was “Annie”, the name of a Dalmatian we had when I was very small. Since then I’ve had all kinds of pets, dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and taken care of turtles, birds, and exotic friends! My current babies are Finn, a Pyrenees/German Shepherd, and Mae, a chunky tortie! I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty open. I’m hoping to fill the time with caring for your pets! I can be as flexible as needed. I’m happy to play with your pets at home, or take them out for walks or a trip to a park! I am very responsible when it comes to pet safety, and very respectful of your space.
About: My love for animals is strong I always treat them like they’re my children 🥰 my main priority is their safety nothing less :) . My schedule is pretty flexible which leaves me plenty of time to help care for animals. Messaging before hand helps me map out a schedule I personally do not do pet care at my home because I have two pets at home and there is also children. Sorry for that

About: Hello Rover parents, feel free to call me ALLEY. You’ve probably seen me on their competitor's app, but I came here because I heard great things about Rover. I previously had a miniature poodle, Siberian husky, and blue heeler. I have a 1 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback who's a gentle giant. I feel comfortable with all-sized dogs and walking three dogs with three different personalities. If your pup is active or lazy, I can be either. Regardless, I'm sure we will have fun. Available 24/7 for joyful walks and wagging tails. Let me know your pup's preference or your pup, and I will explore. I used to be an avid hiker with my previous dog. I'm somewhat active. OC Boarding I provide a fenced backyard, two dog beds, dog bowls, and a king-size bed (I know some dogs prefer to be on the bed); dogs are allowed on a couch/ bed. Available to accommodate owner preferences, including running, hiking (walks), visits to dog parks, and outings to dog-friendly beaches. SD Boarding Same services but I do not have a fenced backyard. I have a spacious townhome.
