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: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have hands-on experience with: • Daily walks, feeding routines, and medication reminders • High-energy dogs who need extra playtime • Shy or anxious pets who need patience and calm guidance • Senior pets who move a little slower and need gentle support • Maintaining consistent training, structure, and positive reinforcement I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, handling multiple pets, and adapting to each animal’s specific needs. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my days so I can give pets my full attention, whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime. I keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings and adjust to each pet’s needs. I build in dedicated time for: • Regular walks and potty breaks • Feeding and medication schedules • Playtime, enrichment, and cuddle breaks • Updates and photos for pet parents My goal is to make sure every pet feels cared for, safe, and comfortable throughout the day, while keeping your routine as consistent as possible. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and comfortable as possible. I’m available for both overnight stays and drop-ins, and I’m confident and comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Here’s what you can expect from me: • I follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and at ease. • I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs — from energetic pups to calm seniors. • I provide consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddle time. • I keep their space clean, refreshed water bowls, tidy feeding areas, and pick up waste. • I give lots of companionship so your dog never feels lonely while you’re away. • I keep your home tidy and secure, treating it with the same respect as my own. • You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, relaxed, and well cared for — and that you feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: Hello and welcome! My name is Becca and am a San Diego native who has been exploring the 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. Taking care of animals is my full-time job so your pet is my priority. Like I’ve mentioned I am a very active person, I usually like to go on hikes or walks in canyons, beaches or parks. I double-majored in ecology and biology so nature and animals are my passion. I have extensive experience with animals and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I have worked with dogs w special-needs: I cared for a Dalmatian who would have seizures and was very hyperactive, as well as many years caring for my prior dog, Tikka, who became blind as she aged. I also have experience administering insulin to pets who have diabetes. From miniature chihuahua to Great Dane, I’ve worked with almost every breed. My schedule is flexible, so if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT PACKAGE DEALS FOR DAYCARE!!! 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 7am and plan my days around the dogs/animals I have the opportunity to take care of. From the beaches, to the mountains and canyons in between, I enjoy making my lifestyle an active one and enjoy bringing dogs along with me. At times things need to slow down and I enjoy watching the dogs run around the yard while I work on projects around the house. 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.

About: I have been dogsitting for years! I’m a broke college student who will treat your furry friends as my own, with lots of love! I am a Biology major, headed to vet school. I have one summer course Tuesday/thursday and I volunteer with Sierra Seal Society on my spare time, but I am mostly free! I just ask for notice before sending a job my way! I am very respectful of others needs. I know how important it is that pets get their specific care and the owner always knows best. I have experience with emergencies as well as sick animals with pretentious care.

Paige went above and beyond as a sitter for our cats. One of our cats began having urinary issues and she discovered spots of blood all over the house. She offered to take the cat to the vet on our behalf, but we were able to get home from our travel plans and take care of him ourself. She provided ample communications and safety for our cats.

About: I have been walking dogs for the past five years. I have several clients but the dog I’ve walked the most is a Husky named Dasha and the other is a German Shepard named Sarge. I love to walk and play with dog and make sure they get their exercise and food. I have plenty of time to walk the Dogs. If possible, I would like to work on Monday to Friday. I am OK also to work either Saturday or Sunday. But, I prefer to work on weekdays. I care for pets by calling their name in a loving way, spending time petting them, making sure they are comfortable and their tail is wagging. I also make sure to be playful and speak calmly and pleasantly to the dogs.

About: I’ve had hands-on experience with animals my entire life, beginning with growing up surrounded by pets and later adopting my own dog at just 11 years old. From a young age, I’ve been pet sitting throughout my neighborhood, caring for animals of different personalities, routines, and needs. Over the years, this experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My lifelong passion for animals once inspired me to pursue veterinary medicine before I discovered my interest in understanding the human mind, but my love for animals has never changed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive, loving, and dependable care you can trust. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care. I do not work, and I only attend college classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for most of the day. Outside of those hours, I am fully available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting. I also have reliable transportation, so traveling to clients’ homes is never an issue. I’m committed to providing dependable, consistent care and making sure pets receive the time and attention they deserve. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is my top priority when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all provided instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and behavior. I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I always make sure pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and plenty of affection. I respect each pet’s boundaries and take the time to build trust at their pace, ensuring they feel relaxed, cared for, and safe at all times.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my lifelong love for animals, but also my extensive experience in caring for them. Having grown up surrounded by pets, I have nurtured a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Neighbors, friends, and family have entrusted me with the responsibility of walking, feeding, and providing attentive care to their furry companions whenever they were away. With me, you can be confident that your furry friends will receive exceptional care and affection, ensuring their happiness and well-being while you're away. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, offering flexible availability to cater to your furry companion's needs. Working from home provides me with the advantage of being able to attend to your dog's bathroom breaks and take them for short walks around the neighborhood. I'm also dedicated to providing quality interaction and entertainment for your pet during the day. For boarding services, I am typically available on weekends and on weekdays after 5 pm, ensuring that your pet receives exceptional care even during your busy schedule. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow the pet’s established routines closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime, to ensure consistency and security. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while keeping their space clean, organized, and comfortable. Any special instructions from the owner, such as dietary needs, medication, or behavioral preferences, are followed carefully to give personalized and reliable care. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel confident that their furry family members are happy, safe, and well-cared for while they’re away.

About: Hello fellow pet lovers! 🐶🐱 I'm Rover's best friend, and my journey as a devoted pet owner spans a delightful 15 years. My heart has been shared with a charming chocolate lab and three purr-fect cats. Together, we've created a haven of love, joy, and countless unforgettable moments. In the twilight of my chocolate lab's life, I became a caregiver extraordinaire, tending to his every need with extra doses of love and attention as he gracefully navigated the challenges of arthritis. The experience taught me the true meaning of companionship, empathy, and the unspoken language shared between humans and their furry friends. My home is a sanctuary where wagging tails and gentle purrs orchestrate a symphony of happiness. Whether it's playtime in the backyard, cozy cuddles on the couch, or crafting a special diet to accommodate unique dietary needs, I've dedicated myself to ensuring that each of my pets enjoys a life filled with comfort and joy. As a pet owner, I understand the importance of finding someone who not only loves animals but also respects their individual quirks and needs. My commitment to providing the best possible care extends beyond my own pets, and I'm excited to extend that same level of devotion to your beloved furry family members. Let's create a community of happy tails and contented purrs together! 🌟🐾 Message ChatGPT… ChatGPT can make mistakes. Consider checking important information. Working part-time from home allows me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I cherish every moment playing with my beloved animals, ensuring their happiness is a priority in my week. In my care, cats enjoy their own dedicated space. Having lost my lab last year, my cats are accustomed to dogs. I prioritize walks and diligently follow your instructions, ensuring a happy and comfortable stay for your pets in both my home and yours

About: I started caring for my sister's dog Luna 3 years ago. She's a beautiful and loving puppy. I fell in love with her. When she's over we go out for walks, play tug of war, or rub her till she falls asleep. I prefer to keep her then to have her placed at a kennel. I think she's a part of the family and should be with her aunt when her mom has to take trips. I have the flexibility to walk a dog 2 to 3 times per day. I live within a short walk of two dog friendly parks that I use to let the fur babies run and play. I do sit with dogs from different families. It is a townhouse. They'd have room in the home and patio. If the owner wants the dog crated I can do that too. The owner would need to provide the crate. If they spend the night they'd sleep on a doggy bed in my room or in the living room. This would depend on the pup! Boarding: Please bring your pup fresh smelling and clean :-)

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My sky girl and I went to many behavioral dog training course and we completed the advanced classes. Our puppy is currently learning and being trained! As dog parents we know the training never ends! Our pups are part of our daily life! We like to go for car rides, walks around the park or neighbor hood. Lots of ball play and chase around the house. Our Doberman could play ball all day. In the evening, we like to relax together, watch a movie near the fire or just cuddles on the couch or bed. We have a home with a fenced front and back yard. Our GSD loves to relax in the front and keep track of what’s going on. Our puppy runs around everyone and everything like the energizer bunny.
