“Wonderful. Flexible. Caring. ♥️”


“Elizabeth is such a light in this world! She is so incredibly kind and thoughtful. She went out of her way during a hard time to make sure everything went as smoothly as it could be. I 100% trust her and would absolutely hire her again if I need to! Highly recommend her!”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats, volunteered at the San Diego Humane Society, and have pursued a career with animals. I can diligently follow feeding, walking, playing, and potty break schedules. Most importantly, I love every pet as if they were my own and understand the level of trust it takes to put your pet’s wellbeing in someone else’s hands :) I have an open schedule at the moment so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your pets. Once I have a job in place I’ll update my calendar as needed. Written directions/outline of my duties work best for me and any suggestions for places to walk or avoid walking. I’m comfortable giving medications but just need a visual demonstration of how it’s done. I communicate very effectively and never hesitate to ask questions. Aside from performing the outlined duties, I enjoy playing or just hanging out with the dog(s)/cat(s).

“Elizabeth was so amazing! Responsive, flexible, on time, great communication. I have a senior pup who is blind and requires patience. Elizabeth was great with her and sent such detailed updates. Would 100% book again for my pets when I'm out of town.”


“Thank you Ashley for taking great care of our cats! You made it super easy and comfortable for us and both of them.”


About: 💖 I care for every dog like they’re my own. 🧘🏻♀️ I adjust to their pace and personality. 📸 I always send photos and updates. 🏠 If I care for them at home, they feel like family. 🌟 I do it with real love — not just for the money. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make time for it in my routine. I keep my schedule flexible to give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or overnight care, I plan my week around their needs to make sure they feel loved and safe. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or in the client’s home, I focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. At my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and follow their usual routine. At the client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, walking times, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure every pet gets personalized care, attention, and lots of love.

About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.

“Andrea is a wonderful cat-sitter! This is the second time we've scheduled with her and she has always been reliable and so communicative! It's great having someone we can trust to take care of our four-legged family members ❤️”


“Emma was very friendly, provided great photos and updates, and easy to work with, even when the care instructions were a little complicated. I would recommend booking with her.”


“We have a special needs 10 year old diabetic/blind shorkie mix that needs meds with her meals and insulin injections. Stephanie's veterinary experience was invaluable in taking care of our pupper while I went away on a 5 day work trip. Stephanie took care of everything during our dogs morning and evening meals and was very communicative about how our pup was doing. Will definitely book with Stephanie again and recommend others do also! She is super awesome!”

About: With 6 years of experience with my own adorable dachshunds, I understand the level of care our pets deserve! From the energetic puppy zoomies to the coach potato pups or anything else between, I have experience with it all. I take time to get to know your pup’s personality and preferences to make sure they are getting the most of my attention. I am also experienced with anxiety-prone pets and love to snap cute pictures to send to you during my visit! Can’t wait to meet your pup! I am currently studying at SDSU in the major of Zoology! In my off-time, I like to be active and outdoors; it would be great to take your pup with me on adventures! I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of shade and sun if your pet likes to sunbathe (like my daschund). As well as a doggy door that connects to my living room for free access to in/outdoors. I have a 6 year old doxie named Vienna. She is a huge coach potato if your pup likes to snuggly and she loves a good game of tug of war!

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since childhood. Friends and family have entrusted me to care for their dogs over the years and I love it. I don't have any pets at this time and would enjoy spending time with your fur baby. I'm currently working part time so I have the time and energy to devote to loving pet care. I enjoy spending time with my grand dog but would love more interaction. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a fenced and gated outdoor patio area, which includes a dog run section. The neighborhood is also very walkable and I take frequent strolls around the area.

“Priscilla was absolutely wonderful! Couldn’t have picked a better fit for my two cats. She is very friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. 12/10.”


“She’s just the best!! I got daily photos and updates of the cats. She took the time to play with them and made sure they got some attention and love while we were away. She even left bags of treats for them :)”


“Chris did a lovely job taking care of my 11 month old skittish kitten. She was reliable and her photos of her visits were cute and comforting. My cat was super calm when we came back, and her visits twice a day must have been soothing. I dont travel very much, but I would definitely re-book with her if a chance to vacation came up.”


About: Hi, I’m Andrew! My love for dogs has only grown over the years, and caring for them is truly one of my greatest joys. I’ve been around animals since I was a child and have had the pleasure of meeting pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently have one dog of my own—Daffodil, my Chihuahua. I have fostered many dogs, from Weimaraners and Pit Bulls to Pugs and Shih Tzus. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer professional dog bathing services to help your pup stay clean, fresh, and comfortable. I’ve worked with all coat types and temperaments, and I always prioritize gentle handling and stress-free experiences. Whether your dog needs a quick freshen-up or a more thorough bath, I’ve got it covered. I’m based in Chula Vista and have full-time availability—day and night—so I can be there when your dog needs me most. I’m happy to stay overnight in your home, provide daytime visits, or just stop by for a bath. And while you're away, I’ll keep you in the loop with frequent photo and text updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I have full time availability. I am available monday - sunday morning noon and even nights if needed for dog walking and drop-ins if needed. when taking care of a clients pet/house i normally ask if there are any type of in home discrepencies i may need to look out for as hazardous. As for taking care of home. I would treat it like my own home with respect by doing daily chores such as cleaning bathrooms or mopping and sweeping even dusting if needed.

We’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I split my time between working from home and at another grooming salon, so if I’m unavailable for a walk or check-in, my husband Glenn is available 7 days a week to step in and provide reliable, loving care for your pet. For all check-in and walking services, we like to start with a meet-and-greet to get to know your pet and their home environment. This helps us ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away.
