“Carmen was awesome at taking care of our little guy. We appreciative the photos and messages she passed along. Will definitely rebook with her again the next time we go out of town :)”

“Stella is amazing!!! I’m very grateful for her services and support while we’re away from home. I can tell immediately from pictures and videos of my cat that he’s comfortable around her and is well taken care of. Thank you so much for:)”
About: Hi! I'm Jonathan, a San Diego local. I've owned dogs for more than 20 years. The first dog that was all my own was Parker, a corgi-beagle mix. I got him at 8 weeks old and cared for him until he passed at age 9. He loved spending time at dog beaches, dog-friendly restaurants, and breweries. Prior to Parker I had Alley, a rescued mini poodle mix. I cared for her into her adult and senior years, until she reached about 19 years old. My years with Parker and Alley taught me that every dog has their own pace, but they all appreciate structure. They also taught me the importance of paying attention and getting to know each dog. Dogs can't tell you when something's off, so small changes in appetite and behavior matter. I like to be playful and goofy with dogs (I talk to them like people), but I also know it's my job to make sure they feel safe and know what to expect. I will follow your established routine and rules, and can also help reinforce good behaviors. What you and your fur baby can expect: - Reliability. My schedule is flexible and mostly open on weekdays, so I can do midday walks, last-minute drop-ins, and stays of any length, including single nights. If plans change, I tell you right away. - Clear communication. You'll get a photo and a quick note after every visit so you always know how your dog is doing. - Walks that are more than a potty break. I like getting outside and exploring new routes and spots, and I keep control of the walk so it stays safe. - Experience beyond walks. I've cared for dogs overnight, including week-long stays. I'm comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and every age in between. I'd love to do a meet-and-greet with you and your dog, so we can get comfortable before the first visit. Send me a message with your dog's name, age, and any quirks, and we can set it up! My schedule is flexible and mostly open on weekdays, so I can do midday walks and last-minute drop-ins. I can also spend a full day with your dog, at your home or out on adventures, whatever you approve and your dog would enjoy. I can care for your dog in your home or any other environment you approve, and I'll make sure they feel safe. I will follow any of your care instructions, ensure your home is secured (if applicable), and send a photo and note after every visit.
About: I’ve been a dog & cat dad and been an uncle to many more over the years. I have lived with pets all my life. Most recently, 2 years with a Shih Tzu, Sola, and have cared for her throughout our time together. I have watched over my friend’s pets for weeks on end and enjoy the time we spend together. I love seeing the bond between people and their furry friends! I have helped raised a surprise litter of puppies, trained them, and helped them find good homes! We still keep in contact with their new loving families! I am currently working from home on a part time schedule, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. I can accommodate to most schedules and carry my work with me. Sola has two small homes she uses as her safety zone. A crate is for when she is feeling stressed and a fuzzy home for when she wants privacy. We have an understanding to not cross her boundaries and when she enters those spaces, we give her the privacy she requests. Understanding animals boundaries is important to me, for my safety, their wellbeing, and to maintain trust, especially if I’m a stranger to them.
“Allison took such great care of our two dogs! We got updates and pictures consistently throughout our time away. We felt so comfortable on our trip knowing our babies were in good hands. Definitely will book with her again!! Thank you Allison!!”

“Brook is absolutely wonderful! She is deeply caring and observant and took the time to absorb the peculiarities about my elder dog, Maya, before spending time with her. Brook picks up on and reports the little things - how active Maya was; whether she was in the mood to sleep or play; how many times she went potty. She also sent pictures and updates and was very responsive. 10 out of 10!!”

“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.”

About: I like to stay fit and I love dogs. So I spend a lot of time outside with dogs where they naturally belong. I’ve had a dogs in my family all my life. I’ve enjoyed training puppies and establishing loving ways of communication. I own a gym and I’m constantly telling my clients “want to get your steps in? Get a dog!” I love being outside and pet care keeps me honest. You will always find me out in the Sun with a doggie. We have a fenced bbq area where we hang out during the day and soak up the sun. At least one hour of sprinting up hills or running at a park with me. As long as we have instructions we can reinforce training commands and tons of playtime.
“Janice was so great with our little dog Biscuit! She really took the time to address his needs while we were away and made sure he was happy and attended to. Her communication was spot on and made us feel very comfortable. I would recommend for sure!”


About: I have grown up with multiple cats in the home and have also had the privilege of caring for many friends’ dogs! Love them all! Like the rest of us, I too have a busy life. But typically late afternoons, evenings, and weekends work well for me to take care of your pets! Looking forward to it! I am more than happy to come to your home where no doubt your pets are the most comfortable. I appreciate detailed direction so I can provide the exact care you need. I am known to be respectful and trustworthy!
About: I’ve been caring for and walking dogs ever since I was 10. I’ve handled both puppies and older dogs. I love spending time with all dogs and making them feel as special as they are. By giving walks, cuddles, and attention your dog is sure to feel happy and safe with me I’m taking online classes which makes me currently completely available and flexible to taking care of your pets. I can adjust to whatever you need in order to take care of your furry friend. Walks, playtimes, and attention anytime during the day will bring me absolute joy. When caring for your furry friends, I will treat your space as such I do mine. I will follow your instructions carefully and ensure that I leave you home as you left it. I will provide updates whenever taking care of your pets and make sure your furry friends receives the love they deserve
About: I’ve been handling dogs of every size 15 years — family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with walks, feeding, house checks, and daily routines. I’m comfortable with energetic pups that need structure and seniors that need extra patience, slower walks, and special needs. I stick to your instructions, send photo updates, and treat every dog like they’re mine. Hospitality background means I’m reliable, on time, and good at following a plan. I work in restaurant management in San Diego, so my availability is strongest on weekday mornings and early afternoons, plus select evenings and weekends depending on the week. Drop-ins, walks, and house sitting work well around that. I’ll confirm exact windows before you book and keep the same routine every visit so your pet isn’t guessing. I care for pets in your home so their space, crate, feeding setup, and rules stay the same. Doors stay locked, gates stay as you left them, and I follow your instructions on walks, meds, and who they can meet. You’ll get photo updates during the visit. If your dog is crate-trained I’ll use it; if not, I won’t force it.

Jake stepped in at the last minute when our other dog-sitting plans fell through, and we couldn’t have asked for a better fit! One of our dogs can be a handful for sitters, but Jake quickly won him over, and they had a great time together. He sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful for the care he gave our boys and can’t recommend him highly enough!

Tina was wonderful with our cat, Taco, over our lengthy vacation. They made sure he had adequate playtime & socializing - along with tending to our cat’s various robots. At our meet & greet, Tina took detailed notes & photos to make sure Taco got everything he needed while we were gone. That greatly reassured me. Pet sitting at our place was challenging - the community was handling repairs at the same time, but Tina handled the chaos well. They went above & beyond to run to the pet store after their visit & return to apply some medication. Thanks Tina!

I truly can’t recommend Grey enough. She is an absolute gem and one of those people you feel SO lucky to find on an app like this. She took AMAZING care of my two cats while I was traveling. I felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing they were left in her care. I’m admittedly a little over-the-top when it comes to my cats and their happiness and comfort 😂 and Grey knocked it out of the park. She is attentive, loving, communicative, and took care of them as if they were her own. Also - my cats ADORED her! Animals are excellent judges of character and my cats totally loved her. She shared many photos during each visit and it was clear that they felt extremely safe and happy. I already know they’ll be excited to see her again in the future! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful with animals, Grey is your person. I’m so happy I found her and will absolutely be reaching out to book her anytime I need to travel. Thank you, Grey!!! ❤️

Carmen was wonderful with Kiru. She was communicative from the start, checked in regularly, and sent so many photos (a lot of very cute ones) that I never had to wonder how my cat was doing. You can tell she has a lot of experience with animals, and she's just a really kind, attentive person. Kiru was clearly happy and well cared for. I'd recommend Carmen to anyone and will absolutely book her again.

Christine was amazing! She took great care of our two cats and kept us updated on them while we were gone. One of our cats has a medical need and she was more than capable of handling that and our young kitten with tons energy! I would recommend her to anyone. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!

Steffen did an amazing job caring for my kitty girl. It was my first time leaving her with anyone other than family for more than a day, and I was "that" cat parent that left a list of just in case instructions. Steffen was kind & reassuring & followed them all to a T! I will definitely rebook if she'll have me!

Destiny is the absolute best! I haven’t been traveling much lately, but I was so happy she was available to take care of Crunchwrap! I got lots of great photos while I was away and I came home to a very happy cat. I always know Crunch and my home are in good hands with Destiny.
