“Second time's the charm. I really appreciate Brenda's willingness to come out and sit our cats once again. She's very responsible, always sends photos after each appointment, and made sure to inform us any time she changed the water or had to make another purchase fir the cats midway through the period. Will definitely consider her again next time I'm out if town.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and love for all types of dogs, from high-energy breeds to relaxed lap dogs. I’ve trained my own Dutch Shepherd-Pitbull mix in tricks like twirl, hug, and stay, so I have the patience and skills to teach new commands. I’m also comfortable with large, energetic dogs that might be too much for other sitters, but I equally enjoy lounging with smaller, more easygoing pups—I grew up with two Shih Tzus and miss them every day. Additionally, I have experience caring for cats, so if your feline needs attention too, I’m more than capable. Whether your pet needs playtime, training, or just some company, I’m happy to help! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because, as a college student with a part-time job, I have a lot of flexibility. I take many online classes, so my schedule isn’t packed with in-person lectures, giving me extra time to dedicate to pets. For the most part, I’m available Wednesday through Saturday in the mornings or evenings, which is perfect for getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping a pet company, I’d love to fill my extra time doing something I enjoy! I prioritize providing personalized care based on each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I’m very flexible and can accommodate any specific requests, whether it’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule, providing extra playtime, reinforcing training, or simply offering companionship. I understand that every pet has different routines and energy levels, so I adjust accordingly—whether that means high-energy exercise for active dogs or a calm, comforting presence for more relaxed pets. My goal is to make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in the care I provide!

“Fantastic, dependable, if I could give 6 stars, I would.”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my commitment to personalized care and my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’ve worked extensively with both puppies and senior dogs, tailoring my approach to meet their specific needs. I have noticed dogs tend to warm up to me quickly even the ones who seem to be more anxious. I am currently working part time, so I am available a lot during the week. I usually work Friday and Saturday evenings, but am still available after! I feel that I prioritize leaving the house in better condition then when I arrived and that the pets are safely in their home waiting for your arrival.

“This was our first time using Rover and Jessica was friendly and took good care of our babies and she was communicating with us at all times. We would definitely use her again.”

“Callahan was wonderful as a cat sitter in every way! She responded right away and booked at very short notice. Our cat warmed up to her right away. Callahan sent great photos and communicated very thoughtfully and enthusiastically. We are really grateful and look forward to booking again with her!”

About: I recently lost our family dog and I can't keep pets in my current home, but I get a lot of joy from caring for furry friends. I'm a strong leader and can easily individualize walking, playing, and sitting based on the needs of your pet. My current schedule is completely open until the school year starts, and I can accommodate walking, playing, and sitting throughout the day and always on weekends. I'm flexible and centrally located in San Diego. I am an enthusiastic dog walker and can handle more than one at a time, if needed. I will give your pets my full attention in your neighborhood or in your home and am happy to send pics or updates of assurance when providing care.

“Kaelyn did a great job with our two cats! She gave them wet food and dry food, filled their water, kept both litter boxes clean, and spent time playing with them and giving them affection. Kaelyn also was able to accommodate special requests and made sure to lock the house up tight. If we need to use Rover again we will likely go with Kaelyn!”

“Gabby was fantastic with Lola. Very communicative about what was going on and what she was doing with Lola. Shared many pictures of food and water as well as their walk together. Couldn’t have asked for someone better to look after my pup. Will definitely use Gabby again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look after their dog.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and my experience caring for pets has only deepened that bond. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets—dogs, cats, and even small animals—learning to understand their unique needs and personalities. I’m patient, compassionate, and attentive, and I truly believe in the importance of creating a positive and comfortable environment for pets. What drives me is my genuine desire to see animals happy and well-cared for. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior cat with special needs, or a shy animal that requires extra patience, I’m dedicated to ensuring each pet feels loved, safe, and secure in my care. I always go the extra mile to keep pets engaged, active, and healthy, while also being mindful of their individual routines and preferences. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I make sure to plan time for walks, playtime, and feeding based on the individual needs of each pet I care for. Whether it’s sticking to a consistent schedule for exercise, providing mental enrichment through training or games, or simply offering companionship and affection, I prioritize pets’ well-being throughout the day. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I incorporate their care seamlessly into my schedule to ensure they feel loved, secure, and attended to at all times. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always make sure to create a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for the pets. In my home, I have designated spaces for pets to relax and play, keeping their comfort and safety a top priority. I follow any routines or guidelines provided by the pet parents to ensure consistency, whether it’s feeding times, medications, or specific care needs. In a client’s home, I aim to respect the pet’s environment and make them feel at ease. I keep their space tidy, provide plenty of attention, and maintain their usual routines to minimize stress. Whether it’s regular walks, interactive play, or simply offering companionship, I make sure the pet receives the same level of care, attention, and love they would get from their own family.

“Suna took great care of my 3 kitties while I was in Hawaii for 7 days! They have special health needs, and Suna made sure they received the proper care. She also brushed the long-haired cat to help prevent hair balls. She sent me photos every day. Suna graciously agreed to bring in my mail as well! I’d definitely recommend Suna for pet-sitting.”
