“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.”

“Josette has been wonderful with our two dogs! We have an anxious girl who is typically nervous around new people but she took to Josette right away and is now very excited when she comes because she knows she is going to go on an adventure with her and have a blast. Josette is also great with our senior guy, and she’s able to tire them both out even though they have different exercise needs. Josette also totally spoiled them with plenty of treats (pre-approved by us) and by switching up the activities she took them on so every day was new and exciting. She also sent plenty of update photos, which we appreciate. We’re very pleased with how quickly our dogs became comfortable with her and we fully trust her with our fur babies. I highly recommend Josette!”

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old, and I grew up with 3 dogs in my house. I also worked at the San Francisco SPCA for two years when I lived there, and I’m on the Young Professionals Board of the Rancho Coastal Humane Society here in San Diego. I work remotely on a computer, and it’s likely I would plan to work from your home and spend quality time with your dog all day. I love having a furry friend around and I keep pretty active, so walking or even jogging or playing fetch with a high energy breed is no trouble. I love caring for dogs in their home environment where they are most comfortable, and saving them the stress of an unfamiliar environment while their family is out of town.

“Kayla was very attentive and communicative throughout her stay with our three pets. We will definitely continue to ask her to return to watch our animals and feel confident that they are being well taken care of : )”

“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: Growing up on farmland, there were always animals around! Whether we were training our rescues or helping find homes for the strays that showed up at our door, we always had pets to care for. I have gained so much knowledge and experience over the years through helping my parents care for our animals, volunteering at shelters and hosting friends’ pets long-term. I sadly left my pets at the farm when I moved to San Diego, so I am looking for some new furry friends! I have a lot of love to give, and it would be such a pleasure to care for your pet!! <3 I am free on most weekdays in the late afternoon/evening, and I am free for overnights and all day care on weekends. I am currently in school and working another job, but I will do my very best to be accommodating!! I am a very attentive sitter, and the wellbeing of your pet will always be my top priority. I understand every pet parent has their own way of doing things, and I will do whatever I can to make sure you and your pet feel comfortable in my care!

“Jennifer is an excellent sitter! She stayed at our home with our babies and sent us pictures and updates regularly while we were gone. Our dogs had a great time with her! We will definitely book her again. Thanks Jennifer!”

“Rose was an excellent, super communicative sitter for our Gibbs! She took great care of him and kept us updated on how he was during our trip, will definitely book with her again!”

“Kannica was so communicative & sweet with Chai - it made me feel super secure knowing that Chai was being well taken care of! She sent multiple photos every day and I could tell that Chai felt comfortable with her and had a great time in her care this week. Would absolutely rebook :)”

“Thank you for taking such good care of my kids! My dog, Charlie, and my cat, Apollo, both were very well taken care of. I received a lot of updates and photos and came home to a clean house with happy animals. I recommend Ryan for taking care of your babies :)”

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.

“Bridgette was so wonderful!! She stayed at our home and watched our puppy and made us feel so comfortable leaving town. Highly recommend!! Kind, responsible, and our pup loved her.”

“Thank you, Elise for taking such good care of my cat and home. You made it possible for me to be able to focus on assisting my mom in her recovery and not have to worry about my baby.”

“Chandler and her boyfriend take great care of Jack and are always sending updates. Great communication, which is why I recommend Chandler to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Leah took great care of our pup! We had such peace of mind while we were away. She spent lots of quality time with him at home and on walks, definitely goes above and beyond! Glad we found her!”

“Dustin was fantastic. He stayed with my French Bulldog Mazie and my cat Dakota while I was traveling for work, and I never once worried about them. He arrived right on time, was professional from start to finish, and kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and check-ins that made being away much easier. He also left my place spotless — cleaner than I left it, honestly. Mazie and Dakota clearly took to him, and I’d book him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.”
