About: I’ve been raised with Labrador retrievers siblings (not pets) since Barkley (my first brother) slept under my crib after my mom brought me home from the hospital. Every place I go where there is a dog, it’s my goal to make sure they like me so I am extremely attuned to how dogs are feeling as well as their needs. I helped potty train my family’s most recent labs (Buck and Buzz) as well as teach them a few tricks. I have a very flexible work schedule and would love to help out during the typical 9-5. I also would be happy to help with early morning walks. Given proper instruction and information, I’m a hyper vigilant sitter and want to make sure I am doing everything correctly as well as making sure your pup is having a fun time!
“Karen has been beyond helpful with me and Natalie! She has helped me with refunds by calling Rover and checks in when she is alerted that perhaps Nat was favoring a leg etc…she truly cares. Thank you Karen!”
“Brooke has been wonderful. She was available for a last minute request and has been very punctual, easy to communicate with and loving on our sweet pup. Highly recommend her to anyone and plan on using her again and again!!!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. From energetic puppies to mellow seniors, I’ve had experience with all types of pets and personalities. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and reliable presence, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

You’ll receive regular updates and plenty of photos, so you can feel confident they’re safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve had three dogs of my own: a sweet German Shepherd, goofy Beagle, and rescue mixed breed from Mexico who has anxiety and special needs. I also have two cats who run the house! I previously worked at The Animal Keeper in Poway where I gained even more experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I truly understand how much pets are part of the family and always care for them like my own. I’m currently working a hybrid job so I have some remote days throughout the week and flexible hours. I’m available for walks and drop-ins, during the week and I offer boarding and daycare on weekends and weekday afternoons after 2pm. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate to your pets schedule and needs. I’m used to working with pets who need extra patience and structure, especially my family’s rescue dog from Mexico with anxiety. I live with two cats (one with anxiety) so I know how to create a safe and peaceful space for animals to adjust. I always follow your preferences for safety and routines.
“We feel so lucky to have met Sydney. Our dog Biscuit loves going on walks with her and I rest easy knowing he’s in good hands. She is responsive, always on time, and such a positive, kind person!

About: I’ve been around all kinds of dogs my whole life, from big, strong, energetic Bernese Mountain Dogs to slower, older dogs over the age of 10. I’ve been walking dogs professionally for the past three years, starting at age 15. I’m very flexible with scheduling and easy to communicate with. Having just graduated high school, I have a lot of spare time on my hands. I am very flexible and open to many times of the day. Having a car and a license, distance does not make things difficult.

About: I've always had a love for dogs every since I was little and actually got to help raise my current dog when COVID happened in 2020 from when he was a puppy. I've pet sat so many times throughout my life and thought this would be a good way to help ensure the well-being of everyone's pet in their family! I am currently home for the summer and working remotely for an internship two days of the week. I have plenty of time to go and check on your pet during the day! Will make sure they are safe and sound. I have trained my dog to love his crate, so he usually goes in there when he wants to. I will mostly ask what the client is most comfortable with and what they need from me to best care for their pet!

I would love to care for yours as well.♥️ I am currently working part time and after 3 PM in the afternoon I would love to walk play and care for your precious pups !! I have a very clean home at the same time live right next to a wonderful neighborhood park and I’m a mile from Dog Beach. Plus I would consider housesitting with your pets.

It’s super evident that every walk is a fun and enriching experience for our little pup with Carina. We’re big fans 🥰🐾 Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds all my life! I specialize in labs and beagles!! I love all animals and have a gentle and empathetic approach. They will have a nice, walkable neighborhood and the beach where I live! I am a yoga instructor with a flexible schedule, I teach on nights and weekends so I sometimes have days free for sitting and walking! I am also teaching during the day, so it’s best to book me for evenings and weekends if you prefer direct supervision—daytime only if your dog is crate trained can handle a regular workday’s time in their crate. (This is a safety measure for dogs that co-exist without direct supervision.) I also have cameras to check in. I am comfortable taking your dogs into my home where I have a small space in a beautiful beach neighborhood…lots of comfort and extra effort to take excellent care of them!
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets growing up and now have my own dog who I raised as a puppy who is almost 2 now. She is an Aussie so I understand high energy dogs who need to be active and happy to drop in for a walk or take them for a run. I am currently in between roles right now so I have a lot of free time and can drop in through out the day or weekends! I live in an apartment with my dog but we have a grassy area and very close to lots of neighborhoods and parks and beach that we frequent daily :)
About: I have a lot of previous experience pet sitting, at the owner's house. I also have experience walking/picking up after, feeding, playing with, and of course loving them :) I'm currently operating a local small business. I am self employed & able to decide my own schedule. I would like to spend some of my free time helping people care for their pets. I am very attentive to your pet! I make sure they get lots of attention. If your pet is shy, I keep them company and make sure they are fed :))

Natalie B.
“I cannot say enough good words about how amazing Natalie is! I had never left my dog, Remi, with a non-family sitter before, but I had to find one for my wedding weekend. I was PETRIFIED of leaving Remi with someone else…but Natalie was so assuring and comforting and was clearly a natural around dogs! She sent me updates and pictures of how much she and Remi were having all weekend, and always promptly answered my “just checking in” texts. Because of Natalie, I was able to fully relax and enjoy my wedding weekend because I knew Remi was in such good hands! I highly encourage you to hire Natalie to watch your fur baby!”

He is empathetic and attentive and will provide the care asked of him and go the extra mile to watch for problems or concerns.

Aneta T.
“We love having Aneta as our dog walker. Noro is a very active, high energy German Shepherd / Belgium Malanois. He requires a lot of patience and skill to handle him safely. Aneta has always followed our instructions and takes good care of Noro. Aneta ensures he is properly cared for and provides ample exercise. Personally, I have recommended Aneta to family and friends and everyone loves her. You would not be disappointed hiring Aneta for your pet needs.”
