About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was old enough to. Over the course of my life I have had many cats and dogs and have always been the one responsible for them. My work schedule has changed, but I’m still available after noon on Sundays. I’m also free in the mornings of Monday and Friday. Additionally, I’m available all day Tuesdays and Saturdays, and I can also help you out from 2-3:30 on Wednesday and until 5 on Thursday. Let me know what works best for you! My big dogs have a huge backyard where they can run and chill while my little dog stays inside most of the time. I feed them based on their needs - the big dogs get more than the small dog, and the small dog only eats once a day. I also play fetch with one of my big dogs while the other tries to attack him when he comes back to me. For clients, I’d bring toys to play with them, go on long walks, and feed them when needed.

“Our very recluse cat trusted Jenilee when we were gone for a week. Jenilee was able to brush and pet her, giving us peace of mind while away. She stilled howled at us for leaving her but calmed down shortly thereafter. I worked out an alternate schedule when I met her for first visit. She was completely reliable and we loved getting pictures of her daily. I will hire her again, especially because she lives close by, given the opportunity.”

About: I grew up taking in foster dogs which has led to a lifetime of animal care. I've raised puppies and kittens and fostered senior dogs. I've worked with and trained reactive dogs. I have both personal and professional experience on farms and ranches e.g. with poultry, pigs, goats, cattle and horses. I'm working part time at a farm in Ramona - my schedule can be fairly flexible but I am mostly looking to take on afternoons and or evenings. An occasional weekend or overnight at your place is also possible! Whatever the quality of care that you provide to your pet is what I will be providing as well! I am happy to continue with training regimes, go for runs or walks, give medications, and keep in communication with you (the owner) as desired!
About: Lets take the stress out of going out of town and finding a caregiver for your "kids". Since I was young, I was called on to look after my friends and neighbor's pets while they were away. I have lots of experience training in caring for these furry friends. In more recent years I've incorporated animal therapy and animal Reiki into my holistic business practice as well. I often travel for work. When I'm not traveling, I'm working remotely, with plenty of time to incorporate pet care. Perfect for in house sits! I most often do in-house pet sitting for clients. A comfortable environment is key in your home or mine, so i like to provide a nurturing environment. Taking care of the needs of my furry friends is a priority whether that's exercise comma administering medicine comma or just some love and attention. Keeping things tidy is always helpful.

“I had never used Rover or any service like it before and I was so nervous. I used the house sitting service and Anna was so sweet and took care of my two cats. Not only were the kitties taken care of and loved on, she kept the house all clean! She sent photos and when I reached out she replied in a very timely manner! Anna made my time away home a lot less stressful knowing she took care of everything so well. Any future trips, I’ll definitely be wanting Anna to watch the cats! Thank you ❤️”

“Marissa was wonderful with my puppy, shes so sweet and you can really tell she takes great care of the pets she watches. She gave daily check ins and provided adorable photos. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 12 years old. I dog sat for people at our church all of high school and then got on rover in college and did it all throughout college. I moved to Europe for a Masters program and am back in my hometown of San Diego craving the companionship. I grew up with a dog and miss playing, cuddling and walking with a puppy! I am super active and run almost everyday so I will get your pup that exercise they have been craving. I know how to train dogs as well and am open to giving baths! I can’t wait to meet your dog (or cat)! It fits well since i am an athlete i go for a lot of power walks and runs alone anyways, so having a friend with me is exciting. It depends on the soul. Every animal is different. I spend time with the dog and analyze what they enjoy/ need. If they enjoy a certain part of my home more i will put their bed, water and food there. I love it when dogs sleep in my bed with me if you let your dog on beds and couches.
