Joanne is an angel! I’ve met with her before her pet drop ins started and felt immediately at ease- like we’ve known each other for a long time. My pup, Haku adored her! Joanne took good care of him when we’re away and communicates everything with me. She carefully follows instructions and did everything as told with respect! I would definitely book with her service again! She deserves more than 5 stars. Joanne, please stay nearby and keep in touch!!!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life from dogs, cats, fish, and turtles. I volunteer at various animal shelters and wildlife rehabilitations. I currently have a cat named Mochi I adopted from Tijuana :). I work a 9-5 job M-F but I am remote Monday & Friday. I’m typically free on weekends and have availability before and after work. I only have a cat but I make sure to play with her before and after work. We also cuddle together every night! She’s an indoor cat but I let her explore outside in a fenced in yard with supervision. With taking care of other pets, I know pet parents have different requirements and I like to follow the instructions given to a T. I’ve overnight dog and cat sat for multiple family and friends and while issues have arose from bug bites to having a litter of kittens, I give my utmost attention and keeps the pets healthy and happy.

Annie was an amazing person to take care of my dog. Annie was very responsive and letting me know when they were available as well as all the updates. I needed to know that my dog was taken care of. When my dog was injured, I had special circumstances that Annie needed to follow and she did so With a positive attitude. I would recommend any for any pet parent.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I currently have two dogs of my own, and I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know them. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning and gentle with senior pets who may need extra care, slower walks, or medication reminders. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m a college student who works part-time on the weekends, which gives me flexibility during the week. After my classes and on my days off from school, I have plenty of time to check in on pets, go on walks, and make sure they’re cared for and comfortable. I enjoy building pet care into my schedule and making it a consistent priority. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I primarily offer walks and drop-in visits in the pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk preferences, and any special needs. I make sure doors and gates are securely locked, pets are safely leashed during walks, and the home is left exactly as I found it. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: Hola, I am Pet sitter to amazing 3 dogs, they have thought me show much. I have been their sitter for 3 years. I play hide and go seek with all 3 and even make some arts and crafts. I would love to watch your pets. If you would like to have a met and greet before so pet can interview me and see if they like me. I work 32 hours from the office, but I have more than enough time to play with the fur babes. The pets' needs and well-being come first always. I always prefer to watch pets in their own environment; it gives the pets more comfort while their owners are gone. It gives a pet a feeling of a safe space and helps them relax.

Kaleah was so good with our fur babies. She came over before we left to meet the boys and build a relationship with them. She sent us photos and messages while we were gone. She truly was a blessing to have! The dogs immediately took to her and she was so kind and attentive to them. I would definitely reach out to have her look after our dogs again.

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: I’ve pet sat for three years now and have experience with dogs of all sizes and pets who require medication. Personally, I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for pets requiring medical accommodations or medical conditions, such as epilepsy. For the past few years, I have worked at a pet store and gained a wealth of knowledge about animal nutrition, enrichment, and behavior. Im currently working a part time job, so my schedule will have plenty of time to play with and care for your fur babies! Their comfort is my number one priority. I am willing to work with clients on what each job requires. I am completely comfortable sharing a bed with your animals if they are cuddly. Avoiding disrupting their routine is of upmost importance.

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease while they’re away, so I focus on creating a calm, loving, and familiar environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s unique personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or just want extra cuddles. What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every visit. Your fur baby won’t just be watched—they’ll be comforted, spoiled, and truly cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a student who does most of my work online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be attentive throughout the day. This means plenty of time for feeding, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and lots of cuddles. I’m able to adjust my schedule around each pet’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for rather than left alone for long periods. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, potty, medication, and playtime instructions closely, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own familiar space.

Chelsea watched our cat Reggie over the holiday weekend. She was very communicative and gave incredible photos and feedback at every check in with Reggie. Our shy guy seemed to really take to her and was practically belly up in most photos asking for some pets. We would love to have Chelsea back again and can’t thank her enough for helping us out!

I truly can’t say enough good things about Andrea! She stepped in last minute when our original plans fell through and was incredibly attentive, responsive, and wonderful with my boys from the very beginning. I was especially grateful that she took them to the dog parade and made sure they had a great time while I was away. Andrea genuinely treated my boys like her own, and her consistent communication helped ease all of my worries. I couldn’t be happier or more appreciative of the care she provided, she is absolutely worth booking. Thank you, Andrea!!

Allison is incredibly trustworthy and responsible, and truly loves checking in on Mochi!

She now gives Mochi liquid medication every visit and has no problem with anything. I would recommend her to anyone.
