Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Scripps Ranch, San Diego, CA

“Jacqueline dropped in for 3 of our cats and was absolutely wonderful. Made sure care was exactly how we wanted it, sent pictures everyday and was very communicative on how all cats were doing, hope to book with her for future trips!”

“I literally can’t give Jeanine enough stars. She took care of my oldest baby, Paxton. He is 12 yrs old and just as needy as a kitten. Haha. She made him so loved! I will be using her every single time.”

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: 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: 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: Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and I currently have a 2 year old cat who is adorable. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, loving, and attentive to care for your pet when you’re away — and I’d be honored to be that person. Whether it’s a walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some playful company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I'm calm, patient, and I pay attention to every detail, from routines to special quirks and needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're gone — and to give you peace of mind. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility and energy to provide attentive, loving care to your pets — especially when they need it most. On weekdays after 3 PM and throughout the weekends, I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Spending quality time with animals helps me unwind and brings so much happiness into my life — and I’d love to share that with your furry friend! I have a fenced yard and a indoor cat. Whether it's a cozy evening walk, playtime in the yard, or a relaxing overnight stay, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. Best regards, Jen I work full-time and am available early morning and evenings on weekdays. My schedule is more flexible on the weekends.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! I started horseback riding when I was 7 and have loved it ever since. My family and I got our dog 9 years ago, and he’s truly the best I could’ve asked for. When I was in high school, my family and I also fostered about 15 separate dogs at our house, and helped each one find their forever home. Animals have always and will always be an integral part of my life. When I’m at home in San Diego and not at school in Riverside, I have a lot of free time and a super flexible schedule! My dog is walked twice daily, avoiding midday to not walk when temperatures peak. In Riverside during school, I am available most early mornings and evenings during the week! I have a fenced yard for home stays, and my dog gets along well with all dogs. For walking, I emphasize not to walk when temperatures peak during the day (on hot days) to keep the dogs safe! Therefore, I prefer morning and evening strolls.

“Great job and thank you for taking care of our girl when we were away short notice. Looking forward to future bookings 😊”

I’m not situation will your pet feel unsafe.

“Justin took care of my two large dogs, an Anatolian shepherd and a Labrador, Kobe and Bailey when we were away. Justin did drop in visits for ten days, and he was always on time, did a great job feeding them and looking into their needs with great affection and care. He is very responsible and a patient dog sitter. He also sent us updates and pictures of the dogs so we could enjoy our vacation without any worries. I would recommend Justin to anyone and would have him take care of my dogs again.”

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.

About: I have taken care of pets of all ages since I was 12 and loved every minute of it! Neighbors, friends, and family members have all trusted me with their pets and in their homes for walks, play dates, and even house sitting/pet sitting for month long periods at a time.

“So happy to have Victoriia, always on time and communicated to let us know about our cats. She was very helpful in stopping my cat from consuming halloween candy that we accidentally left out before we left on vacation and my cat could have really gotten sick but thanks to Victoriia’s quick and smart thinking my cats were kept safe and healthy. Thank you Victoriia highly recommended!”

About: We lost our 14 year old yellow lab and I really miss having a dog around the house. Pets are special family members. They entertain, love unconditionally, and relieve stress. I am a pet lover and would love to help care for your furry friend. I believe they need a lot of "tender loving care" and plenty of exercise. I would be great for dog walking/running or pet sitting. I have a home in a quiet neighborhood with a large fenced back yard. If you ever go out of town, I would love to care for your pet at my house and am very trust worthy. I would welcome any breed. Your dog would get plenty of TLC with no pets or no kids in my house! I don't have any pets or kids at home. Your dog will get top notch care as shown by my high ratings. Dogs deserve the best! I have a large fenced yard and a very safe environment. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I specialize in senior dog care. I have also fostered dogs and have placed them with loving homes.

“I can’t recommend Gianna enough! Apart from being professional, punctual and responsible, she went way out of her way when taking care of our older dog while we were out of town! When she noticed that she wasn’t eating much, she hand fed her and encouraged her and gave her all the love in the world and wouldn’t leave till she had eaten. The photos from each check in were awesome; it was nice to be updated so regularly :) communication was easy and timely. I really can’t stress how comfortable we felt. We’ll definitely be booking with Gianna again! Our dog now has a new friend :)”

“Louise Emmanuelle takes wonderful care of our kiddos and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
