“Sara completely eased my mind while taking care of my senior kitty! She was extremely attentive and had great communication. Having just moved to the area it feels great to have someone I trust care for my girl when I'm traveling!”

“Joy did a fantastic job watching our cat. I can tell that Joy took good care of her - my cat has been meowing for more pets and playtime than we did before, so I know she was getting well-loved by Joy's visits! Our kitty is now expecting the best. :) I will be looking for Joy if we ever need a trustworthy cat sitter again.”

Jazzie S.

“Ella is so sweet and my boys seem to like her already. They are sometimes difficult cats so I appreciate her willingness to accept this task of being their cat sitter/friend.”

Brittany W.

“I can’t recommend Yue highly enough! She went above and beyond my expectations while taking care of my two cats. Not only did she follow all instructions perfectly, but she also gave them so much love and attention. I could tell they were happy and comfortable in her care. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much for your amazing care!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born- mostly rescues with ranging health issues and all different ages. I also have experience living with and caring for cats. I currently have a 5 year old golden retriever and have some extra time so wanted to help with some dog care. I absolutely love all animals and will ensure your fur baby is well taken care of no matter what their needs. I work full time but am flexible after 4:30 for long walks and on weekends. I am happy to just take your pup around the block and give them some love or get a few miles in to tire them out I have a 5 year old golden who is very friendly who can join me on walks or can stay home to give your pup some one on one time. I will never bring my dog into your home

“She did great with my cat, no issues at all.”

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: 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.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Whether those were dogs in my family, or a dog of my own. I have experience with dog walking and pet sitting dogs in my neighborhood as well! I am detail-oriented so I make sure to follow owner instructions and pay attention to animal behavior. I’m currently a student-athlete and have some extra time on the weekends to take care of dogs! I love animals (sometimes more than people) and I would love to use my free time to look after animals and provide my services. I have a dog at home who I pay close attention to so that he doesn’t eat anything, break anything, and I make sure he gets attention! Like my own dog, I treat other dogs with the same care and love.

“We love Kylee - she's been with our cat multiple times and always takes great care of her (and gives great love!). She was able to troubleshoot with us when access to our apartment got blocked to make sure she was still able to get in - very reliable, thorough and sweet!”

About: From day sitting for my friend’s cat and dog, to long term taking care of my sisters dog, I’ve pet sit for quite a while! I currently dog sit for my neighbors who have both small and big dogs, and I would love to help more owners in need of pet care! As a full time student at UCSD, I am flexible, reliable, and have a lot of availability! Open to drop-ins and walks! Send me a message and we can find what works for you :) Creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment for your pet is extremely important to me. I carefully follow your care instructions, keep their space clean, and make sure they receive plenty of playtime and affection. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.

“Celine was so great with our dog Charlie! She was very communicative and friendly! Our dog loved her. We felt comfortable leaving Charlie at home knowing Celine would be checking on him for a drop in visit. We would love to use her services again!”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was born, my current pets (who don't live in my apartment) are pets I've trained since they were young! I've dealt with aggression issues with adoptees and training puppies only a few months old. My dogs now are older and also have to deal with some health issues, so I have no problem with administering medication or helping a dog move around if they need it. While in college, I also worked at Wag Hotels, so I have plenty of experience working with a wide array of dog breeds! I work hybrid at UC San Diego. The pet will be crated while I'm away, but someone will most often be home. I will treat your pet as my own (with lots of love and affection)! I currently live in an apartment in walking distance to the UTC dog park and the Doyle Dog Park. The pet will be crated while I'm away for work and free to roam while I'm home to supervise. The pet will get daily walks around the UTC mall unless their behavior doesn’t allow for it.

“Luciana was very caring for my cats and her response was super fast! She even first came over to meet our cats first. Happy t be connected with her!”

Taeyoon K.

“Again Aayushi was nothing but the best! Aayushi is always my #1 choice when it comes to picking a dog sitter! She gives me peace of mind when leaving Lola with her and I never have to worry about being away. If you have a dog with any kind of needs Aayushi is great at accommodating to them!”

“Awesomeness!!”

About: I have had pets my entire life and grew up caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience with larger breeds, including German Shepherds and Dobermans, both of which were rescued from shelters. Caring for rescue dogs taught me patience, consistency, and how to help pets feel safe and comfortable in new environments. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family. I understand that each animal has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with active dogs, maintaining feeding and walking schedules, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention they need. I am also comfortable administering oral medication to both cats and dogs. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work as a researcher with a flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my time as needed for pet visits, walks, and check-ins. I’m also available on weekends, which gives me additional flexibility for longer stays or more frequent care when needed. I’m able to plan ahead and stay consistent with feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions, making sure pets get reliable attention throughout the day or week. I provide pet care in a safe and calm environment, and I always prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being. In my home, I live in an apartment with access to a dog park and I’m also close to other parks nearby, which allows for regular exercise and outdoor time when caring for dogs. I do not currently own any other pets, so animals in my care will not be exposed to other animals in the home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and maintain their normal routines to help them feel secure and comfortable in their own space.
