“Jacob and Leilani had a fun day. He’s a sweet, intelligent guy that has great tips and calm energy. I feel that’s exactly what she needed was that perfect match! I was so glad to find Jacob and that he was available within a day. That is a rarity! He had Leilani run as much as she wanted. She’s super happy! Thanks Rover and Jacob! Leilani’s Dad”

“Nancy was a dream come true. Our puppy wasn’t feeling well when we dropped her off and Nancy welcomed her with open arms and kept us updated throughout the day. I felt like our dog was in the best hands possible to take care of her when we couldn’t.”

I have a litter box, toys and scratching post for cats. I have food bowls, soft blankets as well.

“Julia did a fabulous job caring for our pup Summer. She let me know ahead of time about the other pup she was caring for just as a heads up. Summer sometimes gets anxious when we first drop her off, but Summer felt her warm presence and was excited to explore her backyard. I could tell Summer was happy and comfy with Julia.”

About: Hi, I’m Andrea ! I’ve always loved animals, and caring for them has been a meaningful part of my life for many years. I have nearly 10 years of experience as an Adoption Coordinator and volunteer foster with a nonprofit dog rescue in San Diego. During that time, I cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, personalities, and behavioral needs, including many challenging cases that required patience, consistency, careful observation, and individualized care. I worked closely with professional trainers and helped dogs build confidence, improve their manners, and prepare for successful adoptions. Since 2022, I’ve also provided basic behavior training using positive reinforcement. I enjoy helping dogs develop healthy, lasting habits while making sure they feel safe, understood, and supported throughout the process. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their unique personality, routines, preferences, and needs. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, extra attention, medication support, or consistency with their daily routine, I provide dependable, attentive care tailored specifically to them. My goal is for every pet to have a positive, enriching experience while you have peace of mind knowing they are safe, respected, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I treat every pet with the same patience, compassion, and responsibility I would want for my own. I’d love to meet you and your pet, hear more about them, and learn how I can help! Please note that I can take same day bookings and my prices are negotiable for all services depending on distance and needs :) I am currently available full time to care for your fur baby like my own ❤️ If your baby doesn’t play well with others and needs one on one care, I am more than happy to discuss appropriate environment and rates for accommodating that request. I have worked closely with well respected trainers and I am confident and comfortable training or even strengthening most basic behavior skills for both you and your pup. I have a really great understanding of pet owners and how different we can all be with our ideas of how to properly care for our pets. That means whether you require following strict rules and a disciplined lifestyle or you choose to let them run the show with no such thing as rules, I wholeheartedly respect each owners way of caring for their pets without judgement. My goal is always to keep your fur baby comfortable, happy, healthy and safe while giving you peace of mind knowing that that is exactly what’s happening every second they are in my care ❤️

About: I'm an animal lover who misses my own dogs and cats at home! I’ve cared for many different pets, including large dogs like Labradoodles, and have watched multiple pets at once many times, so I know how to build trust and routines. I have excellent references and experience providing walks, baths, and all the daily care pets need. I’m flexible and can watch pets in your home, at mine, or provide walks and drop-in visits. I am a nanny (check my schedule), so I’m extremely reliable and trustworthy. I love going on walks, giving pets attention, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they feel comfortable while away. Your pet’s happiness and care are my top priority! I am currently working part time as a nanny, I work 2 days a week with extremely short hours, so it does not conflict with pet sitting. As well as if the owners are okay with it sometimes me and the 6 year old girl will walk the dogs together. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. At your home, I follow your routines and rules to ensure your pet feels secure and relaxed. At my home, pets have a quiet, pet-friendly space to eat, rest, and play. I supervise all interactions, make sure pets are hydrated and exercised, and provide plenty of love and attention. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

“I am so happy Enzo got to spend time with Anusha. He was such a happy tired boy, by the time I picked him up he was ready for a long nap. She did a fantastic job providing me with videos of him playing in her beautiful backyard, snuggling and napping. And really happy she had another dog for Enzo to play with. She walked him and played fetch. I would absolutely give Anusha five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ she was also very friendly and nice. 👍 I am sure Enzo will be happy to be dropped off to be puppy-sat again sometime soon.”

About: Hello my name is Leila I’m 25 years old, and I have experience with dogs and cats for over 10 years. I grew up taking care of my family friends and neighbors pets while they were away or at work. I currently have a husky (mix dingo) who has brought some challenges, patience, more knowledge to learn from into my life which has inspired me to want to train dogs with a variety of different behaviors and even helped manage my families dog business managing activities, walking, feeding & training. It’s my passion to work with animals I enjoy their company and I love connecting and socializing with them to stimulate them and give them the exercise they need which is very important to me and to you. If you are worried about how your pet will do with me you won’t have to worry about that because with me they will get everything they need even learn some tricks and side training if interested! Staying active, happy and patient is key to creating a healthy environment around us all. I provide the most loving care and perseverance while you are away. Any concerns/ Questions? Please feel free to contact me so we can set up a meet and greet to make sure we are a good match. I look forward in caring for your furry pet (: Sincerely your your dog whisperer! I’m working Monday -Friday full time I walk the dogs in the morning and back home by 3p. If you live very close to me I can make it possible during the week! I have a fenced patio where there’s enough space along with my husky who will keep your furry one accompanied and have access to go inside home. I can definitely crate your dog if needed as well. My dog is very friendly with small breeds she grew up with chihuahas so she thinks she’s one too.. lol Larger dogs it takes her a minute to get comfortable she can be territorial. Although when I board other dogs I crate her.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the past 25 years I’ve especially enjoyed fostering and having a multi-dog household. I’m an RN, so I’m very comfortable providing whatever care or assistance your dog may need during their stay, including medications or other special care instructions. I currently have three dogs of my own, all spayed/neutered, and they genuinely enjoy having other dogs around. I have one male who is about 45 pounds and two females who are about 25 and 45 pounds. They are an important part of our family and are very accustomed to welcoming new dogs into the house. My home is set up with dogs in mind, with plenty of space and comfortable places for them to relax, play, and have their own quiet time. I’ve learned over the years that every dog is different, and my goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and peaceful environment where everyone can feel at home. I work 20–30 hours a week, primarily from mid-afternoon into the evening, so I have most of my mornings and early afternoons free to spend with the dogs in my care. I have three dogs of my own who play well together and with other dogs, but also enjoy being lounge potatoes. 🐾 When I’m at work, I leave the door to the backyard open so the dogs can go outside whenever they need to relieve themselves, get some sunshine, or simply enjoy being outdoors. Before I leave for work, we have plenty of time for exercise and fun. Depending on the weather, we might head to the beach, go for a hike, or visit the dog park. If it’s too hot or the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll take a quick neighborhood walk and then spend time playing inside or relaxing and cuddling on the couch. Over the years, besides always having a multi-dog household, I’ve fostered more than 65 dogs with all kinds of personalities, ages, backgrounds, and needs. That experience has taught me how different every dog can be and how important it is to let them settle in at their own pace. I’m very comfortable helping dogs through the initial awkwardness of being away from their people and home, and I’m happy to give them the patience, reassurance, attention, and affection they need to feel comfortable. I also keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and am very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that might indicate they aren’t feeling quite themselves. My goal is for every dog staying with me to feel safe, loved, included, and like they’re having their own little vacation while their family is away. My house is definitely a dog-friendly home! My dogs are welcome on the couches and beds, and I have plenty of cozy dog beds and pillows scattered throughout the house for everyone to find their favorite spot. If your dog enjoys being around other dogs and can be trusted to have some time alone in the house, they’ll fit right in and have a fantastic time here. When I’m not at work, I spend the majority of my time with my dogs and the dogs staying with me. They are welcome to hang out wherever we are, whether that means playing together, lounging in the backyard, or snuggling up on the couch. My backyard is fully fenced with a 6-foot picket fence, and both gates have deadbolts for extra security. I also have cameras around the house so I can check in on the dogs while I’m away. Honestly, that’s mostly how I catch them stretched out on the grass with their bellies in the sun, enjoying a good afternoon siesta! ☀️🐶 I’m also very comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs. I don’t mind giving medications, following special instructions, or providing extra attention and care when a dog needs it. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

“Nayana was so great with Sunny! And Sunny came home so happy and tired from playing and having fun! So grateful for Nayana and her sincere care.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had two or three at a time—from Huskies, Malamutes, and wolf dogs to French Bulldogs, Border Collies, and Pit Bulls—so I learned early that every breed brings its own personality, challenges, and way of learning. Over the years, I’ve worked on the fundamentals with a wide variety of dogs and later had the opportunity to learn from an experienced trainer with a background in search and rescue, protection work, and advanced behavior training. That experience helped me expand my skills, understand dogs on a deeper level, and appreciate how much the right approach can change both a dog’s behavior and their future. Now I’m building something of my own. My goal is to keep learning, keep improving, and use the skills I’ve developed to help dogs become more confident, manageable, and successful in their homes. Most importantly, I hope to help give dogs with behavioral challenges a second chance—and keep as many as possible from being euthanized simply because they were misunderstood or never given the right training. I tend to favor weekends and over nights with my work schedule. However, flexibility is possible. Scheduling your pups appointments ahead will always be recommended! I work with both dogs and handlers/owners to facilitate better communication. Once a dog can communicate effectively with their human, a bond deeper than “the hand that feeds me” can develop.

“Jesse was great! Very attentive and communicative and came through last minute for me on a holiday. Our little guy had a great time and came home happy. Thanks again Jesse!”
