“Jovi always does such a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we’re gone. She’s very good at keeping us updated and sending photos and info about the visits. I know the kitties are in good care when she’s watching them and we don’t have to worry. Our cats love her too!”


“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: 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: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old. Be it if they are wild and free or couch surfers, your pet will always be loved like if they are family. I am blessed enough to work from home so your pets will always have someone to look after them. Belly rubs demands will always be met as well as any needs they might have. I have a fenced in front yard and backyard to provide freedom when the jitters are jittering or nature is calling. With enough room to play fetch if that is their cup of tea. I also have experience with senior dogs and being on a routine if medications are needed. If your dog needs the safety of a crate because they can be anxious I also have one and can easily provide and accommodate any needs within reason.

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.

“Tyler is the best! We recently moved to Imperial Beach and were nervous about hiring a new pet sitter. But Tyler followed all of our instructions and took great care of our kitty Zoe while we were away for three days. We're looking forward to having him take care of Zoe in the future.”


“Linda was a great communicator and took good care of my old cat. Very responsible and kind, I even rebooked when I needed a little extra help. Loved the charming updates on my old lady.”


“Jasmine was so awesome! She kept us up to date on everything. Our dog was so happy and comfortable with her. She was also very respectful of our home. We will definitely use her again!”


About: I’ve always loved being around animals and spending time with them. Taking care of pets and playing with them comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day on both weekdays and weekends. Whether you need morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening care, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and your routine. I have a large, secure backyard where your dog can safely run and play. I also have a friendly dog that can help keep your pet entertained, but if your pet prefers to be alone, I can easily keep them separated. I prioritize a clean, safe, and loving environment where your pet can feel at home.

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.

“Marlene was great with her communication and made sure to send plenty of pics of our puppy! I would definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you Marlene!”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by many animals. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats that I help care for. I used to work at PetSmart where I helped care for the store pets, as well as, helping pet parents. I also did volunteer work for a couple years at a dog shelter where I used to feed them, walk them, take them to a dog park to play with them, bathe them, and clean up after them. One of my dogs got pregnant 2 years ago and I help deliver her puppies and took care of all 5 puppies for months before they were old enough and found loving homes for them. I currently work at the mall. I am an assistant manager at Spencer’s. I am more than available to stop by for drop in visits before and after work. I am also available to do home visits and stay at the home at the times that I am not working. My typical pet care routine is feeding my cat around 9am, I feed our 3 dogs that we have in our backyard whom have a lot of free space to fun around and play, then I occasionally feed my sisters’ cats if they need the help. On my days off my cat typically likes to hang around me and just sleep most of the day, but on the days that I work I will feed her dinner around 7pm.

About: Hello there! My name is Crystal, I've been a dog lover since I got my very first dog when I was a toddler! I have 1 fur baby. She’s a 12 year old miniature pinscher/poodle mix. I'd love to take care of your dogs as I understand how difficult it is to want to take a trip somewhere or an emergency comes up but worried about what you're going to do with your doggies. So I'd be happy to make it a little easier for you. I’m currently working part time in the evening, so I have time in the morning & early to mid afternoon to either walk your dog or check on your dog if needed. I have a dog safe & friendly apartment, with a dog park and big walk area nearby, & can easily crate your doggy if needed.
