“With a last minute need for a cat sitter, Mariela to the rescue!! I was so nervous as I’d never used River before but upon my initial meeting with Mariela, I was immediately put at ease. She listened to my needs, was very attentive, and even my antisocial kitty came out to meet her! Mariela visited as promised, shared updates and status on my kitty, and shared fun pics of Jingles having a great time! I will definitely use Mariela for all future needs and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs you may have. Thank you, Mariela!! 😸”

About: I love all dogs with all my heart, and I can’t wait to meet and play with your pet! I think dogs are the kindest, sweetest, most cheeky animal, and we humans really don’t deserve them. I go to school online so my schedule is incredibly flexible! I am available six days per week and can do overnights if needed. I am available both in the mornings and the afternoons for drop-in visits. I treat all dogs like royalty. They get plenty of scratches and cuddles. I am also very attentive to the dog’s safety. I make sure not to leave them unattended if they are outside, and I never walk a dog off-leash. Keeping the dog healthy and happy is my number one priority!

“Makenzie was a great with her visits to our 2 cats. They both warmed up to her very quickly and she sent us great photos and made sure everything was taken care of.”

“This is the second time Megan has checked in on our Percy and we couldn’t be happier. She is the best, open communication and he loves her!!”

“Lindsey was wonderful with our two cats. She went above and beyond, helping with an unexpected package delivery. One of our cats is very shy and he warmed up to Lindsey which was great knowing he was not hiding the whole time we were gone. We will definitely use Lindsey again!”

Nina M.

“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.”

Diane B.

“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.”

I bring that same thoughtful attention to every dog I care for, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-exercised while you’re away.

“I am very happy with my experience with Loren! She was professional and friendly. I felt 100% confident leaving my cat in her hands. I loved the daily photos! I will definitely rebook with Loren!”

Over the years, I’ve gained strong skills in animal behavior reading, medication administration, and creating calm environments for anxious pets. I’m experienced with special diets, cleaning enclosures, and maintaining routines for all types of animals.

I’m currently living in San Diego with my fiancé and our 20 pets — a mix of dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles, and small rodents. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, and taking care of them has become a big part of my daily routine. Between feeding schedules, walks, and playtime, there’s always something going on, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m in college working toward a degree in Criminal Justice, and I’m hoping to add Psychology as well. Balancing school, life at home, and all my pets has taught me a lot about patience, organization, and consistency. When I’m not studying or spending time with my animals, I love being outdoors, relaxing with family, and enjoying quiet moments with all my pets. When it comes to caring for animals, I try to keep things as comfortable and familiar for them as possible. At my home, I have a safe, pet-friendly space with plenty of room for play, rest, and quiet time. My own pets are used to routines and socializing, so I make sure everyone feels calm and secure.

I always make sure their space stays clean, calm, and cared for while you’re away. No matter where I’m watching them, I focus on creating a safe, loving environment — full of routine, comfort, and plenty of affection.

I work part-time for a dental office and watch my perfect new grandson two days a week. I am free most weekends, and some evenings. I will take every measure to keep you pet safe while in my care. Making sure doors are securely closed and locked when I leave.

“Shelby and her husband Dalton were outstanding when sitting my two cute kitties for 10 days. I was very nervous to leave them for so long but Shelby was willing to meet them in advance which gave me peace of mind getting to know her prior to the scheduled dates. She was familiar with my neighborhood, understood my alarm system, and was great with my cats. During my time away, they were prompt, communicative, and responsive when I checked in. They took cute pics and played with my kitties. I could tell from what they sent me that my babies were happy when they visited. I’m truly thankful to have found someone who is reliable and accommodating. Especially since my furry loved ones are so important to me. I’d highly recommend Shelby and Dalton and will be continuing my relationship with them in the future.”
