“The most amazing service i could ever have imagined! The best updated with photos and videos and they really fell in love with our dogs! Would use them again in a heartbeat! Very grateful!”

“4th time! Rachelle is THE BEST! She sends so many pictures, kept our dogs an extra night when our flight was delayed, and even made cute little ink paw prints! We trust Rachelle to always take the best care of our pups.”

“Victoria is the best sitter! I can tell my dog had such a good time, and she’s great about communication and was so flexible when my flight got delayed and I had to extend my booking. Thanks Victoria!”

“Emily & Steven we're absolutely amazing! They were incredibly accommodating with any instructions we had for taking care of Messi and always provided us with regular status updates on how he was doing. Messi seemed to be very comfortable at their place and we will absolutely be reaching out again in the future :) could not recommend this family enough!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life! From teacup Chihuahuas and Yorkies to Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and wonderful mixed breeds of every size, I’m completely at home with pets of all backgrounds. As a remote worker and SDSU master’s student, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. Because I am based at home, pets in my care receive constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule is extremely flexible, with full open availability seven days a week—my only routine commitment away from home is Tuesdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. I stick strictly to each pet's established feeding, walking, and medication schedules to keep their routine consistent. Whether a pet thrives on high-energy play or relaxed couch cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality. With experience in administering daily medications and managing post-surgery recovery, I am diligent about health monitoring—keeping a close eye on their comfort, appetite, and behavior. I treat every client's home with total respect, ensuring spaces remain clean and secure. Most importantly, I provide frequent photo and text updates so owners have complete peace of mind while away.

“Mayank and Shruti were very caring with little Charlie dog. They sent plenty of photos of him in their home and with Charlie interacting with another dog. I will definitely use their services again when I am out of town.”

“This is our first time using a petsitting app. We were so happy to find Anna to board our dog Sammy for 2 nites. It was last minute and Anna was very accommodating. I had an initial facetime meeting a couple days before and I felt comfortable because Anna answered my questions and was overall very pleasant. We dropped off Sammy and showed her what to do with his food n bedding n we were off. I liked that Anna’s home was very nice, clean and orderly from what I can see from her living room. She has a big front grass yard as well as a backyard and Sammy enjoyed it. She walked Sammy 2x a day and made sure to feed him and she let him cozy next to her on his downtime. Anna sent me updates with pictures in am n evenings. We were very happy with her service (Sammy too) and will definitely use her again! Thank you Anna!”

“This sitter was amazing with my Husky. I have never left her with anyone aside from family because she needs to be watched constantly and she has horrible separation anxiety. My dog immediately took to her when introduced. I was nervous leaving her there, but immediately got photos showing me Bella was OK. She checked in throughout the day. And when I picked Bella up, my dog was excited to see me, but she wasn’t the anxiety riddled full of stress she would normally be after being left. I cannot have asked for more.”

“Repeat customer here-Alegra is wonderful! My pup started wagging her tail as soon as we stepped on the porch. My dog is older and has some problems but Alegra is so patient and understanding with her. I get updates and pictures at least daily which I love. Highly recommend Alegra!”

“Winnie came home happy and calm. With our previous sitter, she was often anxious and it took an adjustment period to settle back in. After being in Claire's care, Winnie was noticeably relaxed and herself, not stressed. Claire communicated regularly and kept us informed how things were going. We will definitely reach out for Claire's help again.”

“Hands down my go to for pet sitting. Amazing communication and great pictures to keep your mind at ease while away. For sure will use in the future for pet sitting. 10 out of 10!”

“Hana sent frequent videos and pictures of Casey while we were away, and he was obviously having fun. She seems to be always available, so I have come to depend on her!”

Ashley and Andy are fantastic dog sitters! They take such wonderful care of Leo, and we always feel completely comfortable leaving him with them. He absolutely loves spending time at their house, especially because he gets to play with their dogs, Juniper and Pepe, who are both amazing. It is very clear that Ashley and Andy genuinely love dogs and treat the dogs in their care like part of the family. Leo is always happy and comfortable with them, which means a lot to us. We could not recommend them more highly!

Yating was so great with my dog Joey and he loves her! Our first time boarding with her was so well we definitely will go back to her again. She made sure all his needs were met and gave him plenty of walks and exercise. She was so accommodating and sweet to us! Grateful to have found a great sitter

This was our puppy's first time being boarded away from home, and it was a great experience for us. We received daily feedback, pictures and videos, and our puppy came home happy, healthy, and sleepy:) Thank you Kate for taking such good care of our boy - we will definitely be rebooking again!

Amazing experience with Abegail who graciously accepted my last minute booking request. After a brief introductory meeting I felt that my dog, Oliver, was in good hands. While he was in her care she kindly sent photos and updates which I appreciated because I worry a lot when we are apart. Her understanding of dog behavior gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Abegail for your dog boarding needs.

Rebecca & Raul really looked after my dog Lisa well, they gave her her eye medication’s as prescribed and also let me phone my dog every day because she had a little separation anxiety. When I got back home, they dropped her to my door and she smelled lovely and clean and looked great.. I would definitely recommend Rebecca & Raul.

Joanna was absolutely wonderful with Tilly! She went above and beyond to make her feel like part of the family, sending frequent updates and great photos of Tilly out on walks, playing with her kids, and joining them on family outings. Tilly clearly had a fantastic time and bonded so well with everyone, especially her daughter. Beyond being an amazing caretaker, Joanna was incredibly kind and accommodating. When our travel plans got delayed, she didn't hesitate to let Tilly stay an extra night to make things easier on us. Tilly came home completely happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are so grateful to have found Joanna!
