Pet Sitting South Park

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for multiple pets, including helping with feeding routines, walks, play, medications when needed, and creating a calm, safe environment for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important consistency and trust are when someone is leaving their pet in another person’s care. My schedule is very flexible since I work and attend school online from home. That allows me to be present with pets throughout the day and provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with a secure enclosed yard and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I currently have a friendly cat and create a safe, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed.

“Jazmin came by to meet Clover before dropping in to watch her and she was super sweet. We instantly hit it off and felt comfortable leaving my kitty under her care. I would definitely book with her again.”

“My dog immediately loved Zaira, and Zaira was great with her. I really appreciated Zaira’s messages and pictures throughout the day - I knew my dog was in great hands. I hope to be hiring Zaira again soon!”

“Vanessa is the G.O.A.T.! I was worried about leaving my older dog behind for five days, as her only interest in life besides food is ME. The dog and I have a pretty codependent relationship. But Vanessa was not only super responsible with visits, walks, and food, I could see in videos that my dog was warming up to her and even looking forward to seeing her. Vanessa kindly sent me lots of reassuring photos and videos, which made a big difference. And on return my dog looked calm and healthy. Vanessa's care made all the difference. She's fantastic. THANK YOU VANESSA!”

About: I am a lifelong dog owner and pet lover! I have had dogs my whole life and have been pet sitting since I was a kid for family, friends and more recently roommates. Over the last few years I fostered 6 dogs with the Cantu Foundation until I foster failed with my dog Finn! I have worked with dogs from 3 months to 15 years old and love caring for all ages and breeds. I would I be able to make sure your young puppy keeps up with training while you are away. My previous roommate has a cat that I loved and would love to care for yours as well! My lab mix Finn loves all dogs and gets along with cats as well! He would love to be your pet’s new best friend, but no worries if your pet is best solo. I live a few blocks away from the Grape St dog park and can take your dog there if they are good at the park! I also frequent OB dog beach and fiesta island with Finn and can bring your dog along as well! I work from home in South Park so am available to watch your dog for the day in my home (must be dog friendly and we can do a meet and greet with my dog Finn beforehand) or I can take your dog on an afternoon or evening walk either with my dog or solo! I live 4 blocks away from the Grape St dog park and can take them to play if they get along with other dogs. I have a very friendly dog that will play with or keep your dog company in my home! I have a small grass area in front of my house for easy potty access, or can take them on longer walks around the South Park neighborhood. If you would like me to come to you, we can certainly meet beforehand to get to know each other!

“Paige was great! We came to San Diego with our pups on a trip and wanted to spend extra time away from our airbnb. She gave them some company and let them out. She sent me pictures while she was there and made us feel comfortable being away from our babies longer. Thank you!!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable dog lover who enjoys staying active and spending time with pups of all kinds. I have a 7-year-old adopted dog, so I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet. I also have experience pet sitting for friends and roommates and am comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m currently available on weekends and would love to help your dog get some fresh air, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’ll also send updates and photos during our walks so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands! I’m available for dog walks throughout the week and offer boarding during the week and on weekends. I enjoy spending time with dogs and am happy to work with your schedule and your dog’s routine to make sure they get the care and attention they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I’ll follow your instructions, pay attention to their needs and behavior, and make sure they’re safe and happy throughout our time together. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care.

“Shannon was great with Copper! She was timely, communicated well, and took a lot of photos. I would trust her with my boy anytime.”

About: Hi, I'm Tennille, a caring and compassionate dog lover. I will treat your dog like it is my own. I live one block from Golden Hill Park. I'm available for walks or a play in the park. Unlimited cuddles available. I’m reliable, responsible and easy going. I don’t mind dogs on the furniture. I don’t currently have a dog of my own so I can give all my attention to your pet(s). I live in apartment with a small patio which dogs love to sunbathe on. I am also open to coming to your house/apartment if you or your pet feel more comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I work from home so I can dog sit during the day. I live near two parks, Golden Hill park is a couple blocks. Also, close is South Park with the backside of Balboa Park and the Grape Street dog park. I have a flexible schedule where I can take walks as needed. As far as the weekends, I spend my time with dog-loving people and so a lot of the time we only go places that welcome dogs. We are so lucky to live in San Diego and have such great weather to enjoy patios. I treat all pets like they are my own. I would respect the owner's instructions for care. I would also respect any home I’m in like it is my own.

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior pups who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic puppy training, including potty and crate routines, leash manners, and basic commands, and I’m happy to follow whatever training methods you use at home. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs and understand the importance of adjusting walks, playtime, and daily routines to their individual mobility, energy level, and needs. I’m experienced in caring for multiple pets at once and managing different personalities, feeding schedules, walks, and routines. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else; they’re part of the family and I’ll always treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’m currently training and teaching jiu jitsu classes which allows me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. Im able to build my schedule around your pets specific needs or energy levels and love going for little adventures to the park, beach, or where ever your pets favorite spot is! I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m clean, tidy, and mindful of your space while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their normal routine. For overnight or multi-night stays, my dog Lola does need to accompany me. She is a sweet, senior Rat Terrier who is accustomed to being around other pets. I typically provide daily photos and updates but am happy to provide whatever makes you comfortable in knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I puppy-sit for my sister's 2yo maltipoo often, I've even helped training him and teaching him certain tricks. Meso on my profile is my sister's dog, I don't have a pet at the moment - I created his info under my account to help my sister when she needs a dog sitter. So my space is pet-free. I also used to have a dog when I was younger, I love dogs! I just came back from LA from helping puppy-sit for my sister's dog for 2 weeks. When I visit family in LA, I am often helping take care of her dog and I love it so much! I feed the pet based on the pet's schedule, provide any medication that may be needed, walk the dog at least once and certainly make sure cleaning up after the pet! Play time is also important, giving the pet treats that are vouched for by the owner. Also making sure emergency contacts and vet info is provided for emergency situations.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned and cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. I’ve had several rescue dogs over the years and understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have years of experience walking dogs, caring for pets while their people are away, and have even traveled across the country with dogs—so I’m very comfortable adapting to different environments and situations. I’m a mature, dependable and nurturing caregiver who understands how important it is to trust the person caring for a member of your family. My professional background also includes working as a certified Home Care Aide, which requires a criminal background check, and I’m a college graduate. I’m responsible, communicative, attentive to instructions, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine one-on-one attention. I believe pet care should be more than simply stopping by to feed or walk them. I’ll spend quality time playing, exercising, interacting, giving treats (with your permission!), and providing plenty of love and cuddles. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, calm, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort and normal routine will always come first. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, treats and household routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will spend meaningful time with your pet rather than rushing through a visit. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, getting plenty of attention, and being genuinely cared for in their own home.

“Phillip took wonderful care of my cat. He was communicative and provided nice updates about how my cat was doing throughout the week. My cat seemed content when I returned. The liter box was well maintained, and the apartment smelled clean.”

About: Hi! I’m Madelyn 😊 I’m a reliable, loving sitter based in Golden Hill! While I don’t have a backyard, I do have a secure, gated balcony where your pup can safely relax, sunbathe, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day ☀️ I also live in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood with nearby parks and dog parks for pups who are dog-friendly and enjoy getting out and exploring. Your dog will get lots of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. I love incorporating walks, playtime, and calm, cozy downtime so they feel safe and at home. Outside of pet care, I’m a therapist — which means I’m naturally attentive, patient, and nurturing. I genuinely love coming home to dogs and creating a peaceful, loving environment for them while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic or more calm I’ll make sure they feel comfortable! I DO NOT HAVE ANY PETS OR CHILDREN IN THE HOME 😊 I don’t work Saturday-Monday. During the week my husband helps with afternoon walks and care since he works from home 😊 We treat your pet like ours! I have a balcony where your dog can be outside and it will be gated for them. I will treat your pet like my own.

“Lisa is a gem! She met with us before the trip and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she took good care of our two kitties. I knew she was paying great attention to them because her visit notes were spot on about our cats’ personalities and habits. It was fun to receive photos of them while we were gone. Most of all she really seems to like animals.”
