About: I’ve always had dogs and have always loved them, of every size and every age:) I can adjust to anything if needed as well if asked by owner. I honestly just want to make extra money by walking or taking care of adorable animals:) I have other jobs but will definitely make time if needed. I personally only have one cat. We aren’t even allowed to have pets because we rent but I still take great care of him and we play a lot.
“Jasmine was wonderful, kind, accommodating, and very responsive over text. She checked in frequently during her visits and sent photos with her updates. What a joy it was to get those while away, as sometimes travel can be hard on pets. Thank you so much Jasmine for a wonderful experience. Will definitely be using you again! :)”
About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve lived with up to 5 dogs at a time. Now, I am the proud momma of two cats, Zoe and Emma. You can describe me as the millennial whose sole purpose is to provide a full and fun life for my fur babies. At this time, I am a full time student and on my off days I hope to care for and go on walks with your fur babies. I plan my responsibilities ahead of time, so my calendar will be updated regularly to give you the most updated availability. I am always aware and present during my time with pets. I will prioritize their safety and well-being. I would love to have meet and greets where you tell me all about your specific concerns and we can talk about how I can help ease those concerns!
“Anthony was awesome! Sofia is normally skittish around visitors so I was so happy that he sent pics of her coming out around him. He was also friendly and very accommodating with my changing schedule.”
About: I adore animals. I have 3 ducks, 2 goldfish, 1 dog, 1 bearded dragon, 1 leopard gecko, and 1 tarantula. All well taken care of. I usually have Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday off. As well as Wednesday morning until 5pm availability. With some weeks having more days open for pet-sitting. I have plenty of space inside of my home as well as my backyard. They will be allowed to roam free and explore all around.
“Citlalic was an excellant sitter for my cat Bella. She followed my instructions perfectly and I came back to a happy, healthy furbaby. It is rare for sitters to see Bella let alone pet her but Citlalic was able to do both and sent me photos to prove it. I was shocked. Overall Citlalic was great and we would hire her for drop-in visits again and again.”
About: I have had my own dogs as a kid and have been the go-to friend in my network for pet care while working remotely. These days I am in between jobs so I have plenty of time during the day to take your pet for walks or to the park. I recently drove my friend's sweet dog from San Diego to Philadelphia and we had quite an adventure stopping at many dog-friendly landmarks along the way! It was a blast! I typically cover pet sitting for pet parents who prefer that I stay in their homes while they are away, but I also have availability for daily or weekly drop-ins, walks, park or beach time, and other excursions. I have some experience driving dogs and cats across the country as well as extensive experience traveling to different states to care for pets for weeks or months at a time. While I live in San Diego, I've traveled to New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Colorado to care for several sweet dogs and cats. I seek to understand what you and your pet needs and do my best to provide a continuity of care and comfort while you are away. Once I know what your pet needs and is accustomed to, I ensure their routines are adhered to as closely as possible until you can return.
“I went through a personal emergency, and Elizabeth responded very quickly. She is very kind and great with pets, you can tell she really loves animals & will take care of them as if they are her own. :) she went above and beyond, and would keep me updated constantly. She would even send me pictures which I really appreciated. I recommend booking with her 100%!! Elizabeth is great!!!💖”
“Jiselle stepped in for a few weeks while our regular walker was unavailable. She was accommodating to our schedule with Chico and was willing to be flexible with the timing of things due to the hot weather. Definitely going to consider her again for future needs! 😊 Thank you Jiselle!”
“Heather was awesome! She took great care of my cats and kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves animals. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and had total peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely book Heather again and highly recommend her!”
“I'm super grateful for Marlene, I booked up with her at last minute, and she follow every instruction, and took really good care of my cat! Thanks so much Marlene! 😻”
About: I am a dog owner myself and have had dogs since I was a child. I used to be a self employed dog sitter/walker in Boston, MA until about 10 years ago but I miss it so now I am getting back into it. Working with animals is way better anyway 😉 I am self employed and can make necessary arrangements with the appropriate notice. I am here to accommodate you and your pets. Just ask what you need and I'll let you know if I can make it work. I have a fenced yard in a single family home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. I have two children and one dog living at the residence. There is plenty of room inside and outside.
“This was the first time I had to find a sitter for my babies. It has been difficult especially since my sons are in law enforcement they were very skeptical about having me bring in someone I did not know into my home. I looked through many profiles and found Sylvia. I am extremely surprised on how well Dodger and Nala have been around Sylvia ESPECIALLY DODGER LOL They both have been very comfortable around her and that makes me feel better. Thank you Sylvia”

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.
