Pet Sitting University City

“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.

“Sara was fantastic! Kept in touch with us and took so many great pictures of our kitties while we were gone. I would recommend hiring her if you need someone!!!”

Elijah T.

“Julie was great! Always a concern trying to find a sitter that’s good with medical care and providing insulin. Julie was phenomenal and attentive Scout’s needs and Skipper enjoyed her company and all the treats. Cannot wait for her to watch our boys again”

Mary J.

“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: 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.

“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!”

“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!”

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.

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.

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

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.

About: Hi, I’m Zakira! As a lifelong animal lover, I know pets are family—not just pets. My goal is to make every furry guest feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll tailor their care to fit their unique personality and routine. When your pet stays with me, you can expect: * 🐾 Plenty of love and one-on-one attention * 📸 Daily photo and video updates * 🚶 Walks, playtime, and enrichment * 🍽️ Careful attention to feeding schedules and medications (if needed) * 💤 A calm, clean, and comfortable environment * ❤️ Lots of cuddles (if they enjoy them!) I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your best friend, and I’ll do everything I can to make you feel confident while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I currently work Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm, but I have an hour lunch break from 12–1pm — perfect for stopping by to give your pets a potty break, some fresh air, and a little love. 🐾 After 5pm on weekdays, I’m available for sitting, walks, and cuddles. I don’t have kids, and after recently saying goodbye to my own beloved dog, I’d truly love the chance to give my care and attention to yours. ❤️ On some Fridays I’m off or finish early, and I’m also available for boarding after 5:30/6pm on Fridays and all day Saturday–Sunday. Your pets will be in caring, responsible hands, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 and have experience with pups of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Friends, family, and referrals have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their dogs both in their homes and mine. I make sure each dog gets the right mix of exercise, playtime, and snuggles — whether that’s a trip to the dog park, a long walk, or simply relaxing together. I understand how much dogs thrive on routine, so I always follow their schedule and give them the same affection and attention they would get from their family. My goal is to keep every tail wagging and every pup feeling safe, happy, and cared for. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I also send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Since I don’t have kids or other pets, your furry babies will always have my full attention and care.

“Kayla did an amazing job! We were away for 8 nights and she came twice a day to feed our cats, dog, fish and horse. She sent pics everyday showing how happy our animals were. We have inside / outside animals and she understood exactly how to care for them and followed all of our instructions. We were very happy with her service!”

Dan G.

“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!”

Rie T.

“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.

“Tina is awesome! My cats love her. My shy cat warmed up to her very quickly.”

Megan W.

“Ava's simply the best. Our dog Latte loves it when she visits, so anyone that gets a chance to book her, should take the opportunity to do so. Thanks again Ava!!!”

About: I have multiple years of experience caring for pets in the area and I am formally trained in animal nursing. I focus on enrichment, exercise, and keeping your pets healthy and well-loved (plus cute photos!). I’m between school semesters and I would love to meet all of your pets in my downtime! I have regular availability and am able to plan my day around you. I recognize the trust I am given when I enter someone’s home, and I always keep the space secure and clean of any pet-related messes. Part of my routine if the client is away is sending a picture including the locked door and house number.
