Thanks so much to Genevieve for dropping in to feed and play with Bert on my last minute request, she was able to follow my instructions perfectly and sent me lovely photos and videos of Bert letting me know he was happy, healthy, and looked after. Will definitely be calling on her to drop in again if I need it.

Shay was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond making sure our dog was taken cared of. I really appreciated the constant communication and reassurance that our dog was okay. Shay was very friendly and made it feel easy leaving our dog while we were away! She was very responsible and responsive as well. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.

About: I have a sweet 90lb golden retriever, and a rambunctious and playful rescue mutt! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have gone through puppy training courses with both of my dogs and am comfortable walking large dogs who pull. I can help with training for pulling and walking manners if needed! Whether you need someone to come over and take your pups for a walk and some play time, or you want them to come over and play with my pups, I am happy to help in anyway I can! I work as a nurse only 2 days a week so I am fully available 5 days a week for anything your pets might need! I have a fenced yard and two very friendly pups who love to play. They love having friends over for play dates! My dogs are both crate trained, and sleep in their crates at night. We go for 2 walks a day and usually go to the park nearby for fetch a few times a week! We love to be active and do training throughout the day!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been surrounded by them everywhere I go. Whether it’s my own furry family, my relative’s, close friends’, or a stranger’s, I have loved and adored them. As for my personal/professional experience, I have had the pleasure to care for dogs and/or cats that belong to family members and close friends that could be equivalent to about a year. I’m a full time student so I’ll be reducing all of my services to weekends and breaks during the academic year. As for what services and/or days I’m available for, please refer to my calendar as I update my schedule/availability at least once a week. I’m extremely detail oriented, responsible, and trustworthy, so I will take into account and ensure that any of your pet’s needs are met appropriately and to your expectations. I unfortunately cannot offer boarding because I have two senior pups who have anxiety and can be skittish, however, that doesn’t take away from the other services I offer.

About: Hey there, I’m Chesca! Lifelong dog lover and the girl who stops to say hi to every dog she passes :) I grew up as one of the main caretakers of my family’s dogs, handling everything: daily walks, routine feeding, consistent washes, and puppy training. It was my dad who instilled that love in me — he was the one always bringing dogs into our home and teaching my sister and me how to truly care for them. He passed away a year ago, and caring for dogs is one of the ways I stay connected to something we both loved 🤍🕊️ HOW I WORK: I take my cues from the dog. Shy or nervous? I go slow, stay calm, and let them come to me. Energetic and playful? I’ll match that energy all day. I’m highly observant and naturally in tune with body language. I can read a room (and a dog) quickly. That said, I’m also disciplined. I believe dogs thrive with gentle structure, and I’ll always make sure they’re behaving safely and respectfully. A FEW THINGS TO KNOW: • Flexible schedule. I am a college student on summer break — I’m studying design in multimedia and aspire to become a creative director one day! • I treat every dog like they’re someone’s whole world, because they are :) My schedule is pretty flexible! Mornings and evenings work best for me. Here’s a general idea of my availability: Mon & Thu: Free before 10am and after 11am Tue: Free after 11am (in-person commitments in the morning) Wed: Free before 1pm and after 3pm Fri — Sun: Completely free! Evenings: Available after 7pm for check-ins or boarding If you have something outside these hours, just reach out — I’m always willing to figure something out! My mantra: Comfort isn’t rushed, it’s earned. I like to meet dogs on where they’re at and let them set the pace. Every dog is different, so when I meet a new furry friend I’m reading their vibe immediately and adapting :) Bonus: I’ve got experience with dogs that have dietary restrictions, sensitive stomachs, and medical needs — we’re talking oral meds, ear drops, eye and skin treatments. Once your dog trusts me, I’ve got it handled.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid and have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve owned and cared for Dalmatians, Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Doberman Pinschers, so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy working dogs to small companion breeds. I understand daily routines, exercise needs, feeding schedules, and basic behavior cues. I’ve also cared for family members’ cats, including feeding, litter care, and providing attention and enrichment. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, structure, and affection. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and full-time engineering student, discipline and dependability are built into everything I do — including how I care for your pets. I’m available all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with limited availability on Tuesday and Thursday mornings due to class (7:55 AM–12:45 PM). My days start at 5–6 AM, so your pets get an energetic, attentive caregiver from the moment the day begins — flexible, dependable, and genuinely invested in their well-being.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I prioritize your pets’ safety and comfort at all times. I maintain a clean, secure, and calm environment and make sure pets feel happy and cared for. I communicate clearly with owners by phone and love sending updates and photos so you always know your pets are safe and enjoying their day.

About: Hi! I’m a San Diego–based college student who has always loved being around animals. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, my goal is to make your pet feel relaxed, cared for, and at home while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to calm seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow specific routines, administer basic medications, and respect each pet’s unique needs. I believe communication is key, so I always provide regular photo and video updates to give you peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and care for your furry family member! Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine as a college student. I plan my schedule around my classes, which allows me to be flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m able to provide consistent care for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at the same times each day to keep their routine stable. I check my schedule weekly to ensure I can fully commit to each booking, and I prioritize clear communication and reliability so pets and owners can feel confident their care will never be rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I provide feeding and fresh water on schedule, clean litter boxes or cages as needed, and give plenty of attention and playtime tailored to each animal’s personality. I also monitor their behavior, energy levels, and health, noting any changes in appetite, mood, or habits. For pets that require medication, I administer it according to instructions and keep the owner updated. I treat each home and pet with respect, making sure the space stays clean and secure, and I provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident and reassured while they’re away.

About: I specialize in dog care and have over five years of hands on experience as a dog owner and sitter. I’ve had my own dog, Xochilt, for five years and have also boarded two additional dogs for an extended period, caring for three dogs at once while maintaining structure, safety, and individualized attention. I have experience with puppies, reactive dogs, and dogs who require medication, special diets, or strict routines. I’m patient, attentive, and very comfortable reading dog body language, which helps me adapt my approach to each dog’s personality and needs. I prioritize consistency and clear routines, especially for dogs who thrive on structure or need extra reassurance. I’m playful and nurturing while still maintaining boundaries to keep dogs safe and well behaved. My location offers easy access to multiple dog parks within walking distance, making walks and outdoor enrichment a regular part of care when appropriate. Whether I’m providing walks, drop ins, boarding, or house sitting, my goal is to make dogs feel secure, engaged, and cared for so owners can feel confident their pets are in capable, loving hands :) I’m currently a full time student at San Diego City College with all online classes except one, which allows me to be flexible and attentive with pet care. I offer walks, drop ins, boarding, and house sitting, and I plan my schedule around each dog’s routine. I make sure dogs get consistent walks, playtime, meals, and any required medications, with plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m communicative and happy to adjust care based on your dog’s needs and comfort level ! My apartment is dog friendly and located in a safe, very walkable neighborhood. There are multiple designated areas nearby for dogs to use the bathroom, as well as several dog parks within a 10 min walking distance for dogs who enjoy extra exercise and social time. All outings are based on the owner’s preferences and the dog’s comfort level. Dogs in my care are always supervised, follow their regular routines, and receive attentive, structured care. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their established routines so pets feel comfortable and secure!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and other animals in my past; I’ve had multiple animals throughout my life including cats, lizards, dogs, birds and more. Taking care of my friend’s dogs or cats whenever they needed some help. Very friendly and for some reason dogs are drawn to me the way I'm drawn to them. I currently don't own a dog yet, but I will in the future. It's beautiful thing the connection between humans and animals. I'm very affectionate when it comes to animals, I've always been out love and spreading joy and that energy around to others. I’m currently working full time from Monday through Friday, my hours change as needed but free after that the latest would be 5 pm for my shift on the weekdays. I am off on Saturday and Sundays I do have a fenced yard so the dog can have plenty of safe fun. I do not have any children or anything at the moment. Plenty of space in my house and some good old fashion dog walking around the neighborhood. it's very safe town here as well.

About: I've taken care of dogs for around 12 years. My family and I used to rescued/foster dogs from all sorts of paths and I loved every single one of them. I genuinely care for the well being and happiness of dogs. For me, dogs are not just pets, they are family and they deserve nothing but the best! I currently work from home, and my weekends are pretty cleared up so my schedule is pretty flexible. I will definitely have lots of time to spend with your pups. I respect client's home and ensure I follow every rule/preference they have. Your dogs will have the best care and love. No missed meals, walks, or love! I will make sure your pups have the attention they need.

We had Jaylynne check in with our cats every day while we were on vacation for two weeks and she was amazing! She wrote detailed reports every day on how the cats were doing and our very shy cat even warmed up to her. She really helped ease our anxiety about leaving them for so long and we couldn’t have asked for better care.

Brandon was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G with my cat while I was out of town for the weekend. My cat can need a lot of stimulation at times & Brandon was not only great at keeping him engaged but was also exceptional at reading when my cat needed some chill time. It’s super special to have someone who “gets cats” & pays attention to their subtle communications. Brandon is super organized, thorough, great at communication & following through with instructions & plans. Thank you again!
