About: I'm a responsible, attentive, four (and three!) pawed pet sitter. Years caring for cats, dogs, and chickens taught me that every animal has its own routine and quirks, and paying attention to them is everything. I learn your pet's habits fast, stick to their schedule, and treat them like my own the whole time you're away. I'm currently working 100% from home as a freelancer, meaning I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pet's needs, whether that be morning walks, afternoon drop ins, or last minute boarding. I live an active lifestyle and would love to take your pet on beach walks, park runs, or stay home and cuddle on the couch. I live in a spacious and quiet apartment with access to many green spaces and other dog friends within the complex. I have no pets and plenty of space for your pets to feel comfortable in my home. I am responsible and open to any specific needs or routines your pets may have.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old—not only my own, but also those of family members, friends, and coworkers. Before moving away for college, I had both a Yorkie and a Pit Bull—two breeds that couldn’t be more different. Through consistency, patience, and positive training, I was able to teach them good habits and routines to the point where I felt confident leaving them in the care of my younger sibling. To me, pets are so much more than just animals—they’re family. They provide us with unconditional love, comfort, and companionship, and I believe they deserve that same love and care in return. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. They deserve more than just a filled food bowl or a quick potty break—they deserve playtime, affection, belly rubs, attention, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I hope to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for with the same patience, kindness, and love I’d give my own. I’m currently working part time, 8-12 hours a week and my schedule is very flexible. I’m both an early bird and night owl and fit an early walk and night walk every day. Additionally, especially because it’s summer I have nothing in between work and if I did I’m always willing to fit any plans accordingly to your pets needs. I believe that caring for someone’s home is just as important as caring for their pet. I always treat my clients’ homes the way I would hope someone would treat mine—with respect, honesty, and care. I understand that pets can have accidents, especially when they’re adjusting to a new person or their family is away. If that happens, I have no problem cleaning up after them and making sure everything is left clean and comfortable. If I’m staying in your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and your routines. I’ll communicate with you beforehand to understand your preferences—whether that’s wearing shoes inside, using certain areas of the home, preparing meals, or anything else that’s important to you. I’ll always clean up after myself and leave your home in the same condition I found it, if not better. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your home and your furry family member are being treated with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

About: I have grown up with pets in my family and have responsibly cared for dogs and rabbits. I am responsive and take commitments seriously. I think I would be an excellent pet sitter. I currently work part time at UTC, and attend UCSD as a full time student. I am available in the mornings/evenings as well as weekends. I am very flexible. I will be very respectful of the clients house should I find myself staying there with the dog. I am unable to house since I reside in an on campus apartment.

“Leah has been absolutely amazing taking care of my dog Otis while I recover from surgery. She is easy to communicate with, shows up on time with a smile, and most importantly clearly truly cares about Otis being happy and getting the care he needs. I am incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful and caring person to help take care of my pet.”

About: Growing up around difficult pets which required numerous hours of attention and care, as well as through my work experience at veterinary clinics, I am able to understand and adapt myself to the lifestyle of the animals, working around their difficulties and allowing them to thrive. As a current student at UCSD who is studying biology as a precursor for obtaining a doctorate of veterinary medicine, pet care is something I find highly valuable to my experience, which can be done in between classes, as well as on weekends when I have more free time. When caring for dogs and cats, I allow them to roam freely around the living areas of the house, constantly keeping an eye on them and giving them my undivided attention. There is nothing short of what I wouldn’t do for these animals.

About: I have had pets, including both cats and dogs, my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I truly love animals and care very deeply about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. I’m patient, attentive, and affectionate, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I currently work full time from 8-4 monday-friday. I am free on the weekends and on weekdays after 4 to walk or do check ins. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their normal routine. I follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other specific needs they may have. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their personality and boundaries. I’m very attentive and responsible, and I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Janet was wonderful - very easy to work with, generous and kind with our dog who loved her, and very detailed in her reports. Will definitely book her again. Thank you Janet!”

About: While I have been taking care of animals and dogs just about my whole life, I have been officially doing so as of 6 years ago. I began by meeting people in "the wild" and offering meet and greets free of charge for their pet into my home so they could ensure they felt the most safe and able to actually relax knowing their pet was in a good place while they were gone. From building these connections, I have had the privilege of watching their pets for multiple years and made great connections. I have experience watching puppies, adjusting to schedules, and live a very active life style that makes caring for your dog quite natural for me! I have a larger vehicle for transportation and I am familiar with using the E-Collar if your pet uses that as well. I just graduated with my Master's degree and am currently in a break period before I start my full time job. This means currently that I am very flexible and am able to be home more often with your pet! I have more free time now and would love to return to pet sitting and get some new clients. I have a small yard that is mainly for potty reasons, and no other pets. In others homes, I am adaptable and can adjust to what you need. I also do "meet and greets" for your pet if you are interested, free of charge, for them to sniff around the home and for your to see where they would be staying. I also have portable AC units in our home to keep the rooms cool for your dog, especially with this heat.

“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”

About: I grew up around dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. My partner and I share a comfortable home with a fenced backyard and our own friendly, dog-social husky, who makes a wonderful companion for visiting dogs. Having a husky, I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds and know how to keep active dogs exercised, engaged, and happy. Because there are two of is and we’re flexible during the day, your down is rarely left alone. There’s almost always someone home for feeding, play, and cuddles. I come from a hospitality and food-service background, so attentive care, cleanliness, and clear communication are things I take seriously. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and having fun. I treat every dog like a member of the family, and I’d love to do the same for yours! My partner and I both have flexible daytime schedules, so there’s almost always someone to feed, walk, and play with your dog. We can accommodate your dog’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play, or evening cuddles. We plan our own schedules around our boarding guests, so your dog gets consistent attention and is rarely left alone during their stay. Our home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can play and burn energy safely, and our friendly husky makes a great companion for social guests. We keep the space clean and dog-proofed, with fresh water always available and secure fencing so no one slips out. We’re comfortable crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine, and we’re happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, and we send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and content.

“Great communication, on time, my pup loves Michelle, she has great energy, would hire again. Thank you 🙏”

About: Hi! I'm Vivian, a UCSD medical student and lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from 9-week-old puppies to 12-year-old senior dogs. In the past, I've provided dog walking, feeding, and overnight house sitting, and I'm comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I'm also a cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'll make sure they receive attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a medical student on summer break so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends! Throughout the rest of summer, my schedule is very flexible to cater to whatever your pet needs :) I live at graduate housing which has plenty of green space for your pets to roam around and explore! I am able to crate your pets if necessary. I have a senior cat at home that has lived with other cats before and has also been friendly with all dogs that have come to visit my home.

About: I have grown up with dogs and am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have two adorable dogs one of which has digestive issues so I have experience working around dietary and lifestyle challenges. I consider myself a dedicated and responsible pet sitter, whose primary concern is always the wellbeing of your furry family member. I understand it can be intimidating to put your beloved pet in the care of a new person but I promise to do my best to be accommodating and give your pet the same consideration and love I would give my own! I am a student at UCSD but I’m usually fairly flexible and free most weekends and evenings regularly. With advanced notice, I’m usually good for any pet sitting especially on weekends. I’m very comfortable around dogs and very adaptable to a client’s personal and situational needs. If there are any specific routines or procedures that you use in your home with your dog, I look forward to learning them! I’m especially familiar with crating as one of my dogs was heavily crate trained.

About: What sets me apart is how much care and attention I give to each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn their age, personality, and daily routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I have experience with puppies and enjoy helping reinforce basic training like house routines, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and truly love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾 I usually wake up around 5am to take the dogs out for their morning walks and that lasts about 30-60 minutes. Since I work from home most days, I sometimes take them for an afternoon walk if they are feeling very energetic. We have a little play ground we let them go to bring out their zoomies before coming back in. Around 4-5pm, we always go to the park close to our neighborhood to let our furry friends play with each other and socialize! In the days it rainy, we usually take a longer walk around the neighborhood. I care for pets by prioritizing their safety, routine, and overall well-being, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication administration, exercise needs, and any behavioral or medical considerations. I ensure pets have a clean, comfortable environment, fresh water at all times, and appropriate physical and mental stimulation.
