“Patrick blew my expectations out of the water. He was absolutely fantastic. On time, courteous and friendly. I hope he is willing and available if we need cover in the future. Amazing!”

“Marley is amazing. She is prompt, reliable and communicative. I felt so at ease knowing my dog was in good hands and getting some great exercise. While he’s normally a bowling ball of energy when I get home from work, he’s so much more relaxed after his walks with Marley.”

Amy S.

“Celeste was great! Our dogs loved her and she was so flexible with our schedules and such that it made our experience seamless. I was so grateful that she was so in tune with dogs and mannerisms. Our dogs can be timid at times with new people and Celeste was able to allow them to come to her in a way that made them comfortable with her almost immediately. I will without a doubt be booking with Celeste again!”

Mackenzie S.

“Jade is an absolute gem to work with! She was so attentive to our elder dogs many detailed needs. She communicates frequently, asking questions and letting us know how our little ones are doing. She sends plenty of sweet photos and really exhibits so much care. I recommend her without hesitation!”

About: Hi! I’m Shawna — Unlike a regular dog walker, I provide one hour structured walk/runs to safely burn excess energy and reinforce calm leash behavior — ideal for high-drive dogs. I specialize in structured walks (working with dogs that pull the leash) and 2+ mile minimum walk/runs to help dogs burn energy and feel calm. I’m comfortable with strong-willed or high-energy pups. Whether your dog needs a peaceful walk, consistent leash guidance, or a good run, I bring calm, confident energy and real experience. Some dogs thrive on variety! If you’d like your pup to enjoy the beach, trails, or a park, I offer 1hr adventure outings starting at $120. This includes transport up to one hour drive time round trip, a safe and fun outdoor experience, and drop-off back home. Extra driving is billed at $60/hr (not including my own commute). Let me help your dog stay happy, tired, and well-exercised. A tired dog is a happy dog. Caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I have a high-energy cattle dog of my own, so daily walks, playtime, and structure are built into my routine. I’m also a runner, so exercising dogs through long walks or runs fits naturally into my schedule — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my days around being active and outside, which makes it easy for me to give pets the time, attention, and movement they need I’m happy to care for pets in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and affection. I’ll respect your space, keep things clean, and communicate clearly while you’re away. I always aim to make your pet feel safe, loved, and calm while you’re gone — and make the transition as stress-free as possible for both of you

“Sammy & Cheeze love their walks with Hailey.”

About: Hi there! I'm Chloe, a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of pet care experience. I've been a trusted dog/cat/bunny sitter for family friends for years, happy to housesit and stay overnight, providing peace of mind while you're away. Working from home in tech, I'm highly responsible, communicative, and trustworthy, bringing attention to detail and reliability to every pet I care for. My wife and I are saving up for a baby, and every wag and purr helps! <3 I have almost full availability to help with dog walking, cat sitting, house sitting, etc. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care. I offer consistent presence and frequent check-ins throughout the day, perfect for drop-in visits, long walks, and overnight stays. Weekends are often open for extended adventures! I will not be hosting animals in my home (we have 4 crazy cats already!), but I ALWAYS prioritize your pet's routine and your home's integrity. I'm highly responsible, ensuring animals are secure in their home and yard, I am comfortable with leashed dogs, and very vigilant about safety. I provide regular updates (and adorable pics!!) so you're always informed. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities!

“Krista is a wonderful sitter and friend to our pup. He always comes back calm and with energy expended. She is a great communicator and goes above and beyond to take care of our baby when we can’t. Thank you, Krista!”

About: I have worked with all kinds of animals of all ages and stages my entire life. It is an honor and pleasure to be part of your and your pets lives 🤍 Feel free to check out my Facebook page - Heart 2 Heart Pet Care and Training 🐾 My first “dog” was a wolf. My dads best friend had a wolf rescue, so I literally grew up “running with wolves.” I started rescuing animals at young age, then working at the Humane Society to help traumatized animals heal, so they were adoptable. I have fostered lab dogs, volunteered with the Lost Street Dogs of San Felipe, and have a special place in my heart for all animals. I am a caretaker by nature, and have been in the healing arts for 25 years. I am a trauma therapist, specializing in inherited family trauma, as well as a Rolfer and Ayurvedic Practioner. I choose to work with animals and their human families because I get to enjoy the company of some amazing beings, while doing what I love… I have created a flexible life that allows me to do what I love. Taking care of people and animals is what makes my heart happy… I am happy to care for your pet in your home environment, beach days, hikes, walks and whatever makes your pets happy 🐾 Because I am self employed, I am with your pet full time, and can cater my schedule to suit their needs.

About: I will treat your fur baby as if its my own, I love the outdoors and have tons of walking paths near my house where I can take them on walks. I love to cuddle so they will get tons of love with me. I have experience with taking care of a bunch of animals all at once when I was living in Spain and house sitting for five dogs and fifteen cats, I would take all the dogs on walks to the river and make sure everyone was in and fed right after sun down. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to be able to hangout inside or outside. I have a very flexible schedule, most days. But please included if your pet does well home alone for the moments i need to go into the office. Im a very loving pet sitter, the only way I would leave your pet unattend would be in doors. But when Im home I will provide tons of cuddles, walk and maybe a few adventures to the river or just hanging out in the sunshine with me.

About: Hi! My name is Kiana, thank you for considering my profile. I have experience working with cats and dogs of various breeds, sizes and histories. I grew up with two small dogs and a rescue kitty. I am available to provide frequent potty breaks, treats and walks for your pet while you are away. Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I look forward to caring for your pet and learning more about their specific needs. I currently work a hybrid schedule going into the office on an as needed basis. I am available in the evenings M-F and all day Saturday and Sunday. Your pet’s safety remains my top priority. I look forward to discussing your specific pet’s needs and history prior to my first visit to ensure they feel safe and supported.

About: When I was 10 I moved with my family and my neighbors had two Rottweilers that terrified me so much that I had to cross the street to walk by their house. One day I went up to my neighbor and asked to meet them and they ended up becoming my best friends in the neighborhood, and I would feed and walk them every-time my neighbors went out of town. Ever since then I have loved dogs no matter how big or scary, and have taken care of pets for my friends and family, from little cocker spaniels to German shepherds and everywhere in between. I am currently in the midst of a job search, so my availability is open to look after and pets for the time being. I have spent a lot of time this year pet/housesitting for my parents and a few of my friends. I currently do not have any pets at my home since I have a studio apartment with not a lot of space, but I have reliable transportation and I live close to a few parks, beaches, and woods where I take dogs that I am looking after. I’m good about sticking to scheduled walk and meal times and am a fairly active person so your dog will get plenty of exercise!

About: I have learned so much about caring for dogs and cats. I love giving all babies the attention they need. They are safe in my hands. I currently work part time as a receptionist 3 days a week. I also attend Cosmetology school 4 nights a week. In my free time I would be walking or sitting dogs I would carefully read the pet descriptions to identify any needs the pet may need. If I were to have any questions I won’t hesitate to contact the owner

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and had my own dogs since I was two years old. I often am asked to pet sit for my friends and neighbors animals. I am extremely patient and kind. Currently a college student with lots of free time. I am available almost any day and any night. I have lots of availability and time. I am in an area with lots of trails and areas for walks. I am within walking distance of a park. My house is clean and pet safe!

About: Hi! I am an adventurous person looking for new experiences while caring for pets of all kinds. I have been around animals my entire life and love them dearly. My cat recently passed away and it has been a huge change not caring for an animal since I had her for 18 years. I am a trustworthy person. I don’t party, drink, or smoke. Your home and pets will always be taken care of while I’m there. I enjoy nature so walking and hiking are apart of my daily life. Your pups will always get walked for the time you recommend. I hope to meet you soon and be of service to you and your pet babies! I’m currently have a flexible schedule so please reach out so we can set up the best time and days that work best for you. I can easily follow whatever directions are given to me. My goal is to care for your pet just as if it is you caring for it yourself. I’m comfortable going to houses and can send updates to assure you they are taken care of.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 15, always been watching pets for friends, family members or neighbors. I’ve always had such good experiences working with animals. I absolutely love them. In fact, I used to have pets of my own. I am eager to get on here and meet more lovely animals. I start school on August 25th, at Cabrillo. I’ll be free in the mornings, but will be busy with school in the afternoons. For the Months of August and September of 2025 I’m currently fully booked for pet sitting. However, I’m still available for drop in visits and dog walking. Please feel free to reach out at anytime! :) I will be taking your fur baby on plenty of walks. Especially if you don’t have a fence in yard. Exercise is important to me.

About: Caring for pets has always been more than just a job for me—it's a passion. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From playful puppies learning their first commands to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I understand the unique attention each stage of life requires. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and routine so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m experienced with basic puppy training, leash manners, and crate training. For older pets, I provide gentle, attentive support—whether that means administering medication, helping with mobility, or simply offering lots of love and companionship. I believe communication is key, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes to ensure peace of mind while you're away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I work in IT from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I can easily fit their needs into my daily routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your pet—with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or house rules, to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I understand how important trust is when someone enters your home, and I always communicate clearly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you're away. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests or routines to help them feel secure. Whether your dog needs quiet companionship, active playtime, or just a calm presence while you're gone, I provide reliable, loving care every time.
