“Mariela had cared for our cat several times now. She is dependable and it is clear she loves animals. It is comforting to know we can go out of town and our cat (who is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice daily) is well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Mariela for care of your pet(s).”
“Kira was great! Usually my cats are very slow to come around but she said she was able to hold one of them. I greatly appreciate her being available somewhat last minute especially on a holiday weekend.”
“Kaitlyn - you were awesome with my cat! Great communication. Followed instructions perfectly and my cat loved having her here! Kept my place safe & locked up as she was coming and going. First time using the app & it was so easy. I felt safe leaving my baby in Kaitlyn’s care & I will absolutely rebook her for my next trip!”
“Ashley was fantastic! She was so attentive of our diabetic cat and our “normal” (but needy) cat. She asked great questions and communicated very well and thoroughly. Ashley is clearly a professional and loves animals, and she’s very detail-oriented and wants to care for your pets! We love Ashley!”
“Annalisa did an excellent job attending to my 3 cats. One of my cats needs extra attention and has to take meds. She made sure he took his pill every day. My cats all looked happy in all the pictures that she sent each day which made me feel comfortable about them. I would totally recommend Annalisa to look after your pets.”
“Victoria was such a pleasure! We communicated. It was really a last-minute drop in request for our three Dalmatians. We did a meet and greet and the three dogs immediately took a liking to Victoria, and they are very picky and a lot to handle!! Victoria showed up on time fed our three dogs took them potty and spent some time and sent pictures after! She did an amazing job is a great person and we would definitely book her again and highly recommend!”
“I had a great experience with Makenzie! She took wonderful care of my two cats with twice-daily visits while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I came home to two happy, relaxed cats. Highly recommend!”
“Prompt, professional, communicative and most importantly: loving! It’s clear that this isn’t just a job for Celine—she really cares for our cats like they were her own. We really appreciated her daily updates and the time she took to play and pet them, not just refill food. Looking forward to our next visit!”
“Chudan was super detailed, attentive, and communicative. She followed all instructions and was super attentive to my shy/picky cat. She also sent cute lots of cute kitty pics :) thank you, Chudan!”
“I was really nervous leaving the cats with someone new because 1 is diabetic and can be difficult. Rebecca didn't hesitate to contact me with any questions, which I really appreciate. She took great care of the cats, and left the house clean for our return. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: Hi! So I’ve been a stay at home mom for the last 15 years. I love to take care of your furry kids, while my kids are at school. We are a full house. Husband, 2 kids, a cat, 2 dogs, a tortoise, a bearded dragon and 2 beta fish. I happily take care of them all! I have been responsible for caring for animals for over 40 years. I have cared for many kinds of animals since a very young age. I will happily take care of your pet just like my own. With lots of Love! Im a stay at home mom. Whose kids are in school. So i do have plenty of time for drop ins. 9am-2pm & 4-8 Mon-Fri / 9am-10pm Sat & Sun I may not be able to accommodate your pet in my home due to too many of my own pets and children. But I would gladly come to yours, and take care of your furry baby in whatever needs they may have. For the safety of your pet. I would rather not go to dog parks. But prefer going on solo walks or hikes and playtime in your home.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and homes, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every animal I meet. I've volunteered and worked at dog shelters and animal sanctuaries, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals; not just dogs and cats but also rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, and sheep. I'm comfortable with all types of pets, from mischievous puppies and large breeds to reactive or anxious animals. I’m experienced in administering medication and following detailed care routines. Whether your pet needs extra patience, playtime, or just a steady presence while you're away, I’m here to help. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into a busy day - it is my day. As a professional pet sitter, your pet’s needs come first on my schedule. My flexible hours mean they get consistent, focused attention, love, and care from morning to night. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. I’ll follow their routine, provide lots of attention, and take your dog on their favorite walk or outing. I will keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away, even if you’re only gone for a day or half day. **Please note that my overnight house-sitting rate covers a 14-hour period (for example, 7 pm to 9 am). If you need me to return or visit during the day, I offer special discounted rates for drop-in visits. Please message me for more details or clarification.**
About: I currently live in Santee but I am available to travel around for gigs. I have one dog; Max who is my baby. I know how important our pets are to us so trust that I will take care of your pet with the same amount of love if they were my own. I have dog-sit my family and friends pets before. I can care for any age pet from puppies to senior adult pets. I'm currently available anytime. I do not mind working weekends. I don't mind working holidays. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling as long as there is communication. I live in apartments where all-size dogs are welcome. I mostly take Max out to dog parks and long walks all around the San Diego area.
“Great service. Cheyenne was communicative and flexible. Our cat was happy and nicely brushed. House was tidier than we left it when we came home. Little details like bringing in some packages and sweeping the floor unasked were very appreciated. Would definitely book again!”
“Lily was amazing! She really helped us out when we came to her for a last minute booking. While we were away, she was on time every morning to drop in and take care of our two cats. They loved her! She had great communication through the app and through texting, she gave daily updates and photos...which is so important to us when we are away from our fur babies! She also cleaned out the cat box every day, AND checked our mail for us. We will 100% use Lily again in the future when we need someone to look after our two cats, and would absolutely recommend her to others. Thank you Lily for the peace of mind you brought us while we were away, and for taking such great care of Pono and Luna!”
About: Family and friends have entrusted me to watch their pets as I have grown up with them myself. We have a dog and cat at home, both of whom are my top priority. I enjoy walking, playing, and most importantly, giving them the attention they so much deserve. Because I am a college student, breaks between classes make pet-sitting and walking convenient. I am also available during scheduled holiday breaks and in the summer. At your home, I am flexible with your pet’s needs. Whether outside or in, I can be your dog’s partner in crime (while safety comes first) and keep them company.
