“A wonderful and kind girl. Trustworthy above & beyond cat person. She stayed in touch multiple times a day and made the time pass for Bowie as if I had never left. My car has never been so at peace in my absence & I am so happy I found my new Catsitter.”

“We love knowing that if Lori is looking after our Lucky when we are out of town, we do not have to worry about anything. She is so good with dogs and is so knowledgeable about them. We cannot thank her enough for everything she does for him. Highly recommend!”

“Magree helped us with an overnight and did a great job. Was reliable and communicated well. We knew our dogs were in good hands and would definitely use her again.”

“Only great things to say. Annalise treated our dogs like they are her own. They took to her immediately. She was willing to come meet us a couple of times before our weekend away, so that the dogs would feel comfortable with her which likely made all the difference. We are already booking more visits!”

Dina M.

“So amazing! She took such diligent care of our home and our pets when we were away. Our babies were so happy when we got back. Would highly recommend!”

“Ryanne was amazing with my two cats! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I came home to two happy cats and would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have plenty of experience caring for them. I have fostered cats and dog/cat sat all throughout middle and high school. I also trained my dog when he was a puppy. Comfortable with whatever fun quirks your dog may have:) I work part time in La Jolla, so I have plenty of time. My shifts are typically around 4 hours, with the maximum being 6. If longer than 5 hours, I can pop over on my lunch break and check on your pets! I am more than willing to spend the night with your pets, and can manage any crating needed. That being said, if they are most comfortable in the bed, I don't mind cuddling!

“Josette sat with our 3 dogs from 9:30am-6:00pm. She gave them love, lots of walks and fed them. She is very reliable and very responsible. I would definitely call her again!”

“Catalina was a pleasure. It was my dog’s first time being watched in this capacity and she navigated with grace and patience. It was easy for me to breathe on my trip knowing my baby girl, Nike, was well kept. 10/10 Recommendation”

“Chandler and her boyfriend Will were great. They sent lots of photos of Murphy and kept me updated on how he was doing. I'll definitely use them again.”

“Elise did a fantastic job dogsitting Athena! She was very responsive, gave daily updates (with pictures). She even took time meet Athena before I traveled, and to learn some commands. I had a complete peace of mind during my trip and Athena was sad to let her go. I would definitely recommend Elise, and book her again, 💯.”

I could tell my pup was well loved and care for by Erin which allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing she was in good hands! I HIGHLY recommend working with her :) She asked a lot of great questions upfront so I knew she took the role very seriously. She is my new go-to sitter for sure! THANKS AGAIN!!”

About: Hi! 😊 I'm a lifelong animal lover who's happiest when I'm spending time with pets. While reptiles and lizards are definitely my specialty (I have a bearded dragon named Beetlejuice), I grew up in a home full of cats and dogs and still help care for my family's pets whenever I can. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities—from Pit Bulls, Labrador and Retriever mixes, Chihuahuas, and Belgian Malinois to scruffy little mixed breeds—and I love getting to know what makes each pet unique. Whether your dog wants an adventure, your cat prefers quiet company, and everything in between, I'm happy to meet them where they are. Since I can't have furry pets where I currently live, I truly cherish every opportunity to spend time with cats and dogs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind through dependable care and regular updates. I'll treat your pets like family because that's exactly what they are. I also have experience caring for reptiles and other small or exotic pets and am happy to provide specialized care upon request! I am happy to adapt my schedule to meet the needs of your furry friends as I am able to. I most available before 10am and after 3pm on weekdays, and all day most weekends. Please give me some pet time! I know every pet has their own routine, and I'm committed to following your instructions closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. I'll keep your home secure, communicate consistently, and send plenty of updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Zakira was such a great house and dog sitter!! She took such great care of our pets and our home while we were away for about five days. She cleaned up things I didn’t even ask her to do and took out the trash and just went above and beyond in the sweetest ways. She shared pictures and notes for us to know that our doggies were well taken care of. We will absolutely be hiring her again in the future for drop-in visits as well as more housesitting if she’s available!”

About: As a cat owner myself, I understand that cats have unique personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I’ve cared for many cats over the years and know the importance of providing a calm, stress-free environment while maintaining feeding schedules, litter box cleanliness, playtime, and plenty of affection on their terms. I pay close attention to behavior and habits, making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your cat is social and playful or more independent and reserved, I’ll respect their needs and provide attentive, reliable care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. As a cat owner, caring for a pet is already part of my everyday life, and I make time for feeding, play, exercise, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m an active, outdoors-oriented person, so I enjoy taking dogs on walks and giving them the exercise and attention they need. I also understand the importance of consistency, so I stick closely to each pet’s routine, whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply providing companionship. My schedule allows me to be dependable and give every pet the time, care, and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if needed), favorite toys, and any special instructions. For dogs, I provide plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and positive interaction to keep them happy and active. For cats, I maintain a clean litter box, fresh food and water, playtime when they want it, and give them space if they prefer a quieter environment. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions left by the owner. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is receiving reliable, loving care while you’re away.

“Dustin was the perfect dog/housesitter! He stayed with our pup while we were away for about a week, and did a great job keeping in contact with beautiful photographs of our dog, as well as taking excellent care of our home. He is a natural with dogs and immediately connected with our dog at their initial meeting. Would definitely recommend Dustin and have him back again next time!!”

“Vivian was an awesome sitter for our 8 month old pup. She was loving, caring and playful with her to tire her out. She was on time and followed our instructions. We definitely will use her again! Thank you Vivian!”

Katheryn H.

“Jennifer did great with our pup. She communicated daily showing our dog snuggled up next to her which she wouldn’t have done if she wasn’t comfortable with Jennifer. House was exactly as we left it and she even managed our numerous container plants for us during our week long trip. Great job.”
