About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for the past few years and absolutely love it. I also have a rescue dog of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and gentle care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just providing companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I’m currently not working, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, or extended visits throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and love making sure they feel cared for, whether it’s a quick visit or a long walk. I’m happy to adjust to meet your pet’s needs and routine. I currently offer drop-ins and dog walking, so I care for pets in their own homes where they’re most comfortable. I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided, whether it’s feeding, giving medications, or keeping up with routines like playtime or walks. I always respect the home and the pet’s space, and make it a priority to keep pets calm, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t offer boarding at the moment, but I do have a sweet 10-year-old Norfolk Terrier at home, so I understand the importance of gentle, reliable, and attentive pet care.

About: Are you looking for someone that will give your furry friend the care they deserve? I am a veterinary assistant who has been caring for animals pretty much my whole life. I have experience walking dogs, house sitting, and so much more. Due to my vet experience and schooling, I believe I can give your pet the attention, love, and care they need. I am currently taking time to focus on school and becoming a registered veterinary technician. Due to this, I am not working anywhere right now. This means I have a flexible schedule to care for your baby! I am ready to take on any responsibility needed to care for your animals. I have experience with feeding, walking, giving medications, puppies, cats, senior dogs, and so much more. I want to make the stressful process of you leaving your animals and stress free as possible. I have two dogs and one cat at home and will care for yours as if they are my own.

About: Caring for your pet means more than just food and water—it’s about love, attention, and understanding their unique needs. Pets thrive in environments where they feel safe, loved, and cherished. Whether it’s a wagging tail or a gentle purr, the bond that grows stronger through consistent care and compassion. I am currently open to fit your schedule needs. Message me so we can work out a schedule that suites you. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I have had dogs and cats (and hamsters) as pets throughout my life. I believe animals are a great additional to our world, they can do amazing things for us. I have all dog sizes experience. I begin by getting to know each animal’s personality, needs, and routines, ensuring a calm and personalized approach. For my clients, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—from feeding and medication schedules to preferred walking routes or playtime routines. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential, so I provide regular updates, photos, and communication to offer peace of mind. Above all, I strive to create an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed.

About: What sets me apart? I treat every dog like a VIP (Very Important Pup). Whether it’s teaching puppies basic manners or giving senior dogs the gentle care they deserve, I adjust to their needs — not the other way around. I’ve got the energy for zoomies, the patience for accidents, and the heart for every age and breed. I know the difference between a "play bark" and a "let me out now" bark — and yes, I’ve been told I speak fluent Woof. Bonus: I send photo updates that’ll make you smile mid-meeting. Your dog gets a buddy, and you get peace of mind. Win-win! Pet care is my routine — it's not a side gig, it’s my lifestyle. My days are happily shaped around tail wags, treat breaks, and potty dances. Whether it's morning walks with my coffee or evening snuggles during Netflix, I make sure every pup in my care feels like part of the pack. I build my schedule around your dog’s routine — not the other way around — so they feel comfy, loved, and totally at home (even when they’re not). Basically, if your dog has a favorite nap spot or a weird snack ritual… I’m here for it. In my home, pets get the VIP treatment — comfy beds, a calm space, and best of all… access to my personally curated stash of dog toys (yep, I run a small dog toy business, so playtime is always next-level). In your home, I keep things familiar, calm, and clean. I follow your pup’s exact routine, respect your space, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved — with a few bonus toys in my bag, of course 😉 Whether we’re chilling at my place or hanging at theirs, your dog gets love, attention, enrichment, and probably their new favorite toy.

About: Hello World! My name is Becca and am a San Diego native who has been exploring this world with my dog/best friend, Stella bean We are very friendly, active and have lots of love to give. In my home I believe in treating our guests as family, so that means all furry friends and humans are treated with the same love, kindness and respect as the next 🌈.Our home is small and comfy but we have a large yard for any size dog to play around in. I do work my other job from 2pm-6:30pm during the week but am open to care for our furry friends either before or after those times (even during my work time if you feel comfortable). When I am off I usually like to go on hikes or walks in canyons, beaches or parks. I have expansive experience with animals: dogs w special-needs, I cared for a Dalmatian who would have seizures and was very hyperactive, and Tikka became blind as she aged; working with any size animal (minituare chihuahua to Great Dane) I also have experience administering insulin to pets who have diabetes. I am flexible, so if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate and feel free to reach out. Pet care is a way of life for me. I care for Stella 24/7 but when we have company, I like to get up around 6:30/7 am and spend the morning exploring San Diego. Once 1:30pm comes, I get ready for work. I am very fortunate because I have a job where I can bring my pet (including yours if you’d like) along. Otherwise, after I am off I have another 3 hours available to either care of walk your furry family before I go to bed. In our home, dogs have the opportunity to venture between the house and the patio or back yard freely (so long as you are okay w that). The backyard is completely fenced in and double-gated. There is also fresh water dispersed around the property, along with plenty of toys and chews to play with. There is also a patio area so our furry friends can get some shade, if needed. When it comes to cats, I am more than happy to accommodate any size cat, I have a loft in my house that cats love to climb up into and laze about. They have toys and scratching posts up there as well for enrichment. I also have a beautiful beam that stretches above my kitchen that they tend to love to lay on and watch people walk around below. Every animal is different with its own unique temperament . What I enjoy doing is creating a comfy, secure, calm, and fun environment for each and every animal I get the opportunity to meet and care for.

“Chaminie did a great job. I figured she had a lot of experience with her daycare background. She took gunner to the park and a walk around the neighborhood. She did a great job. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds of dogs including Chow Chows and Cane Corsos in my life. Including assisting the care of more than 10+ chow puppies. I have a big heart for all animals and would love to meet new dogs of all types and breeds. Currently graduated high school and working part time at an elementary school every week day, but I am able to pet care anytime after 11 am on weekdays and weekends I intend to create an environment of safety and trust so your pet can have the most comfortable experience possible. I’m not situation will your pet feel unsafe.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals—especially dogs. I’m the type to stop and say hi whenever I see one (as long as their owner’s okay with it). One of my most regular pet sitting experiences was with a Staffy-Pittie mix who I’d take on long walks, beach outings, and care for like she was my own. I’ve also looked after a Frenchie for a friend whenever she couldn’t take the job herself, and helped out with a housemate’s very social, potty-trained bunny. On top of that, I used to work at a dog-friendly brewery where I met a lot of pet owners and occasionally helped care for their dogs too. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I’m on the path to pursue a nursing career. I am a part-time student, doing a few pre-requisites, taking just one class, so I have plenty of free time during the week to dedicate to pet care. I’m flexible with scheduling and can easily fit walks, visits, or overnight stays around my routine to give your pet the attention they deserve. I always put safety first by following the owner’s instructions and making sure pets feel comfortable and secure. I keep an eye on them, make sure they have plenty of water and breaks, and give lots of attention and care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy and safe while their owner is away.

About: Hello Everyone, growing up I never owned pets because my Mother has a huge fear of dogs. I've always loved dogs so I've dealt with this by lending a helping hand to neighbors, relatives and close friends with pet care needs. Since middle school I've enjoyed helping my older neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting needs. I've done plenty of cat sitting for my sister as well. My best friend from University got a puppy early on in our college years. He was frequently traveling so I had the opportunity to do many dog walks and pet sits for days to even weeks on end. He was a few months when he first got him and I've got to see him grow over the years. I learned a lot how to train and take care of an energetic pup like himself. I loved every bit of it. Its taught me so much on how to care for pets and treating them like they're my own. He's one of my best friends still to this day. Just graduated college so my hours are very flexible. I'm willing to offer help at any hour of the day. It will be easy to fit this into my daily routine. I treat and care for them as if they are my own. I'll always follow the requests of the owners and respect their home and property.

About: Over the years, I have taken care of numerous dogs and cats. I have hosted animals at my house, and checked in on them at other peoples homes. I love connecting and spending town with these animals in any capacity. Hi!! I am new to this app, but I am an extremely dedicated and reliable pet sitter. I just graduated high school and I'm currently on summer break. I am looking for a job, but want to do some extra pet sitting in my free time. At the moment, I do not have a lot of schedule conflicts and I'm free to take care of your pets whenever! I can feed and play with any pets in your house. I am an active individual, as I am involved in cross country running. Therefore, running around and playing with the dog isn't a hassle.

About: I have two year experience with big and small dogs. I truest care for pets, especially dogs they are best man friends. My avaibility is always open, I am a very flexible person I can make late requests and phone calls, FaceTime concerns if the owner is away from there dogs. I am usually active in the mornings and afternoons hiking or exploring parts of San Diego. I normally walk or hike in mountains or forest pathways. I have some experience training with dogs recalling, teaching how to roll, lay down, sit, and potty train. I firmly believe in discipline and companionship in order to have a strong bond and sense with the dog so it willfully do to please you or do as you ask. Currently I’m doing side jobs like task rabbit, online service, and rover this allows me to keep my expense and able to give my clients affordable prices I’ll give them daily photos at least 2 photos per day, I like to keep dogs separate for eating because they instinctively are territorial with food.

About: With over a year of experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds, I provide personalized attention to each pet’s unique needs. From puppies to senior dogs, I’ve worked with many different families, ensuring their pets receive the best care, whether it’s providing training, daily walks, or simply offering companionship and comfort. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I have a part-time job with a varying schedule, so I require a week's notice to arrange pet sitting. Additionally, I go to the gym most days of the week, which allows me to stay active and energetic, ensuring I can give your pet the attention, exercise, and love they need while you're away! I don’t take pets to my home, but I absolutely love providing care for them in the comfort of their own space. I believe pets feel most relaxed and secure in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their routine, providing regular exercise, and giving them lots of love and attention. Whether it's feeding, walking, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe and happy while you're away.

I then went on to work in a pet supply store and learned even more regarding pet well-being. I just can’t get away from animals. I have my more available days listed but am a college student so I can work with you to figure out what days work best for us. Send your initial message with the days you need and we can go from there :). I love to meet new fur friends and learn more about what to do to care for each individual pet! I can come to your home to keep your pets company. I am super cautious so I will be extra attentive and will give so much love to your babies. I look forward to meeting them! :)

Louise Emmanuelle L.
“To Whom It May Concern, Louise was a standout part of our team at Woodhouse, where she worked in a fast-paced brewery and music venue. She brought a rare mix of calm focus and genuine warmth that made both guests and coworkers feel completely at ease. No matter how busy or chaotic things got, Louise stayed composed, attentive, and kind — always a steady presence we could count on. She has a natural instinct for care — the kind that goes beyond doing a job well and really shows up for people. It makes perfect sense that she’s now pursuing nursing school, and in the meantime, I can’t think of anyone more suited to care for dogs. She’s trustworthy, responsible, and full of heart. Anyone would be lucky to have her on their team. Sincerely, Will M. Woodhouse Blending & Brewing Santa Cruz, CA”
