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.

“Anna is a great pet sitter! Very communicative, sent tons of photos and videos of my little guy during each visit.”

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, growing up surrounded by them, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care from a young age. I currently have two dogs of my own, and I understand the importance of providing them with attention, love and proper care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteered at the Humane Society during High School, gaining hands-on experience with a variety of animals and learning how to meet their unique needs. I know what it's like to be on vacation, but to keep thinking about your furry babies at home. I want to ease your mind knowing they are in good hands! Constant communication and pictures are a guarantee! Paw 🐾 bump! I work full-time on a hybrid schedule - 2 days at home and 3 days in office. My workday ends at 3:30pm, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pup, whether it's playtime, walks or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I am happy to adjust my schedule to ensure they get the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's a midday check-in or evening cuddles, I am committed to providing the best experience for your furry friend. I have private access to Dusty Rhodes park, which has an huge field & an enclosed dog park - one for small dogs & one for big dogs. I also live close to Ocean Beach dog beach if your pup prefers the water! I have two furry friends to keep your dog company. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. In my house, dogs are allowed on the couch and bed! If I am watching your furry friend in their house I will abide by all house rules.

“Jacqueline was so great! She took great care of my cat, sending helpful updates and photos each day. Mochi was happy to see her each day. She was flexible and helped out in extra ways! I'll be booking with her again.”

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: I’ve been caring for animals for years and genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I meet. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, from playful puppies to calm seniors. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, long walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make it a priority. I stay active and consistent, so daily walks, exercise, and structured care are never an issue. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and extended care, and I can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs high-energy activity or a calm, steady routine, I can match their pace. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a clean, structured, and calm environment where pets can feel secure. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific routines. I’m attentive, patient, and always aware of surroundings during walks or visits. I also provide updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands.

“I never thought my dog could learn to trust someone but Valerie was just the gal! My senior shepherd does well with her and she is so attentive to the little details that help his quality of life. Thank you Valerie for your kind heart (my pup can tell) and patience with him in his old age.”

About: Hi there! I’m a proud cat mom to Benny and Ellie, who love sunbathing and harness walks, and I was also lucky to spend 13 years with my Lab/Shepard mix, Lulu. I understand the guilt and anxiety that can come with busy schedules or traveling, which is why I aim to be the kind of sitter who sends lots of updates, photos, and love. I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling, constant companionship, and attentive care. I provide house sitting, drop-ins, dog walking, and daycare services in my gated community with an enclosed patio, onsite dog park, and nearby hiking trails. Day Care Notes: • Pets must be current on flea/tick prevention, recently bathed, and comfortable around cats. • Meet & greets are required for pets with separation or social anxiety. • Daycare covers up to 8 hours; extended stays can be discussed. I work fully remote, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs! Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care, I’m able to provide attentive and reliable care throughout the day. I have a gated patio where your fur baby can sunbathe and relax if they need some fresh air or they can enjoy roaming around my two level town home and hang out with my two cats who love to meet and befriend other animals.

“Katelyn met with me before I left to meet my Luna and show her things she would need access to while I was gone. She sent me many pictures while I was gone and made me feel at ease. Luna was excited to see me when I returned and had fresh food and water. She is her normal self. I would use Katelyn again.”

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 grew up around big dogs my whole life. Shepherds, Huskies, Rottweilers, etc, so I’m very comfortable dealing with big, fun and energetic dogs I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can make myself available in the mornings, afternoons and evenings if I am needed. Your pet will always be my priority. I have a German Shepherd who has very particular needs, so I can relate to people who want the best care for their pets.

“Asha was great with Rosie for a house sitting drop during an afternoon when I had to go into the office for a meeting. She was flexible on timing and Rosie seemed to love her.”
