“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Alan is the BEST EVER!! We are repeat customers. Our guy, Tubby, always loves to visit Alan. Alan is very kind, attentive, caring, and friendly. He LOVES animals and his job. Our family always feels at peace when Tubby is being sat by Alan. Alan, gives Tubby plenty of walks and playtime. His home is very spacious, cozy, and clean. Tubby always comes home looking clean, well-kept, and happy :)”
“Araceli is great and her house is perfect for my smedium sized dog! I know that Scout felt at home and enjoyed running around her yard when she wasn’t lazing around. That allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands thank you Araceli for taking such good care of Scout! 🐾”
“John & Francesca were so fantastic with our young 60 lb pittie! They were so accommodating to his routine and quirks. We received pics and updates of his staycation. Highly recommended!!!!”
“Cristina was the best sitter I have had for Valentina! She was extremely communicative and made me feel that Valentina was safe throughout her whole stay. I had several delays to my trip and Cristina was super flexible, allowing Valentina to stay longer than expected. We appreciated this so much. Book with Cristina, she is awesome!”
“I can't thank Melanie enough for taking such wonderful care of Gunny while I was out of town! From her swift response to my initial inquiry to her warm welcome when we arrived, the entire experience was fantastic. Melanie made Gunny feel right at home, and I truly appreciated the daily updates she sent - they gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Her home provided a clean, safe environment where Gunny could relax and enjoy himself. It was so comforting to see how well Gunny got along with Melanie's dog! Always nice to see him make new friends and enjoy some canine companionship during his stay. It was such a pleasant surprise to discover how much Melanie and I have in common! Those connections made me feel even more comfortable leaving Gunny in her care. I would absolutely recommend Melanie to anyone looking for pet care, and I'll definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Melanie, for going above and beyond to make our experience so positive!”
“Marissa did a fantastic job with my little puppy. We did not plan very well and had to find someone at a moment's notice and she came through - BIG TIME. My little puppy seemed so happy in the pictures and video we got of her. We really appreciated the care that Marissa gave to our baby girl. Thank you a ton!!!”
“Monique was such a good sitter for our dog. She updated us daily and sent lots of pictures! She took really good care of our dog who has bad anxiety. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Scout had an awesome experience with Kenia's in-home boarding while I was away. I got daily updates and pics, which really put me at ease, and my dog looked so happy and comfortable the whole time. Came home to a super relaxed pup, couldn’t ask for more! Communication before and during boarding was optimal, highly recommended!”
“Claudia & Cris were beyond amazing! They had a gorgeous area for Kilo to run around and meet other dogs. They also strived in updating me daily with cute videos of our baby and trained her every step of the way. Highly recommend for anyone to have their dog stay with this team!”
“Teresa is a terrific dog sitter. She took care of our pup as if he was hers. She is super friendly and a caring person. We were able to enjoy our time because we knew that our pup is in good hands. Teresa took our pup out for exercise at the beach and kept us updated with pictures. She is responded to our messages promptly. We would highly recommend Teresa.”
“She was great with our senior dog. Definitely made this first experience a pleasant one and will use this app again in the future thanks to her great service.”
“First time booking with with my two golden retrievers and it was a great experience all around. Priscilla and Pascual were super friendly, easy to work with, and had great communication the entire time. My dogs came back happy and healthy, which says everything. Pick up and drop off was very convenient, and pricing felt fair. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend.”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
“Dominique really saved my week by agreeing to a last minute booking when I unexpectedly had to rearrange my travel plans and find a place to board my dog the same day. She is friendly and great with dogs. I was worried about how my dog would get along with hers, but Dominique is an amazing pack leader and managed everything without incident. I appreciated the daily photos and updates with details of how my dog spent her day, how she was eating, and sleeping. I would definitely recommend Dominique as a dog sitter, and if I ever need a sitter in the future I will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you Dominique!”

“Jovi was great!! She didn’t just feed my cats, but she took the extra time to play with them and love on them during each visit :) I even got cute little picture updates which let me know they were thriving in her care.”
“Brandee is the absolute best! She replied to my booking so fast. Eventhough she wasn't available for the entire booking, she actively searched for friends who could help. Other sitters just turned down the request, or didn't reply. We agreed on some days that would work. The request was to care for tiny, sick, shelter kittens. The job was not easy, it involved an application to the animal shelter, wearing full protective gear, coordinating with the foster coordinator, and then caring for sick kittens. She handled it like a pro! She found her way in and worked with the kittens and even sent pictures. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Kim did an excellent job taking care of Stella. She is confident around dogs and bonded quickly with Stella. She sent me pics and also cleaned up after Stella's outings. Will definitely be calling Kim again!”
“Clara was excellent! She responded to a last minute request of mine and accepted right away. Clara sent updates throughout the day and enjoyed taking care of our 2 cats. Our cats seemed to fit right at home with Clara. We will absolutely book her for future visits and highly recommend her 🙌🏼”
“Jamie did an outstanding job taking care of Sabrina! She was fantastic—not only did she check in regularly, but she also provided detailed updates and took the time to get to know Sabrina beforehand. She understood her habits and knew exactly how to communicate with her. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a pet sitter. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for animals.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have enjoyed caring for pets my whole life. I had my sweet girl Stella, a pug, for 13 years. I crate, potty, and recall trained her as a puppy, fed her a balanced diet of vitamins and homemade food throughout her life, and gave her loving, gentle care in her senior hospice years. I’ve also cared for my mom’s boxer for a year and even taught her, her favorite trick… tossing a treat up with her nose and catching it! I’ve looked after my friends’ pets as well, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, senior dogs, birds (parrot), a chameleon, and special mentioned of a disabled Frenchie who needed a little extra help to go potty. I make friends with any neighborhood kitties when they let me. Usually just takes a bit of chicken or turkey. Lol I am happy to say that I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can work around almost any needs. Let me know what works for you! I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that giving their family peace of mind makes leaving them just a little bit easier.
“She’s the freaking best!! From the very first meeting she was so great with our cats who are usually shy with new people. You can tell she truly cares. We were gone for a week and never once had to worry. We got daily updates with photos and little paragraphs of what happened at each visit. She went above and beyond. She would take the time to hang out with the cats and play with them. She even gave the kitties a cute treat at the last visit to remember her by. Just the best! Will definitely use her again.”
About: Welcome to my page! I like to show kitties my love by making them feel at ease and trusting me to have a more positive experience all around. I have taken care of cats belonging to family members and neighbors, and it's always a great experience even with the shy fur babies.
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats. I’ve personally owned and cared for four cats and understand the different needs, personalities, and routines that come with each life stage. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing gentle care and attention.
About: I grew up with my own pets and have always loved animals. One of my favorite things about them is that no two pets are ever the same. Every animal has their own personality and their own way of showing you what they need. I began working with animals in 2020 as a kennel technician. I cared for pets while they were boarding and made sure they were fed, comfortable and clean while still feeling loved away from home. I later gained experience assisting veterinary technicians and caring for pets in a veterinary hospital. I helped with routine appointments, medications and emergencies. I also worked in veterinary reception and became familiar with many different aspects of pet care. I love caring for all kinds of animals. That includes energetic dogs and puppies who love to explore as well as pets who would rather relax at home and spend time with a companion. I also have a special place in my heart for senior pets. My oldest dog is 20 years and is still happy, playful and full of personality. Although he is now blind and deaf, he still has the heart and spirit of a puppy. Over the years we have learned how to adapt to his needs and help him confidently get around. He has taught me so much about patience, understanding and how much joy our pets can bring to our lives at every age. I know how much your pets mean to you because I feel the same way about my own. I treat every pet I care for like they are my own. I want you to feel confident knowing they are receiving the same love, patience and attention I would want for my pets. I would love the opportunity to get to know your companion and care for them just as you would while you are away. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide your pets with care, attention and walks around their usual routines. I can also provide consistent play breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. On weekends especially, I love being active and exploring new parks and places. If your pet is energetic and loves an adventure, I would be happy to bring them along! If they would rather stay home and snuggle, they will get plenty of affection from me too. I know that leaving your pet with someone else is not always easy. Your pets are family and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. When I meet a new pet, I always pay attention to their body language and take the time to understand what makes them comfortable. Some pets are excited to meet someone new while others may need more time to warm up. I do everything I can to meet each pet where they are and adapt to their individual needs. During walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, I will follow your pet's usual routines and your instructions as closely as possible. I will make sure they receive the care, exercise, attention and love they need while keeping you updated along the way. My goal is not only to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and comfortable but also to give you peace of mind while you are away. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is well cared for and hopefully not miss them too much! When house sitting, I understand that I am also caring for your home. I will treat your space with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
About: I got my first kitten when i was about 12 & another a few years later. We found both cats outside & took them in. Then when i was 16/17 we got 2 free cats from someone outside of target, & 2-3 years later another kitten from a litter. My family has had 5 cats total & i’ve raised 2 of them myself as a teen when they were kittens to adults. Eventually i moved out & my boyfriend got me a kitten almost 4 years ago. In total i have experience raising 3 kittens to adulthood & i’ve loved being a cat mama for over 10 years.
About: My love for animals have always been true. I've always had a niche for dogs and cats. I'm never afraid no matter how big or small. I always look forward to helping take care of a fur baby. I currently work full time during the week and take online courses but I'm available during the day most of my weekends to help take care of your baby. Any rules from implemented already will be enforced without any cut corners unless it is necessary. Then i will let the client know as well.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of experience since 11 years old when my mother would petsit the neighbor's dogs. I've cared for dogs at many stages of life, from newborn puppies to sweet 10 year old senior pups! I understand each pet has their own unique needs, and I will always commit to providing attentive, compassionate care for each and every one. It's what a good pup deserves! Out of highschool and looking to spend more time doing something I enjoy while supporting my goals! Free every week with plenty of time for playing and caring for your fur babies ♡ I have a fenced front yard and 3 dogs in the house. Whether you want your pup to make new friends, be comfortable in their crate, or seperated from the dogs, whatever is best for them, I'll do with no problem! Food, playtime, walks, and cuddles will be provided to all pups whether at my home or yours. Just tell me what you need and I'll deliver!

“Stacy was great! She was able to take care of Emmett on a pretty short notice. She was extremely accommodating and took so many pictures of him. I think that this has been our first overall positive experience with a rover sitter. Emmett came back happy, healthy, and well fed. He had a lot of fun and was able to get a lot of fresh air.”
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.
“Priscilla took very good care of Bella. She kept me constantly updated on how she was doing, was very kind to both of us, and Bella looked very happy in the photos and videos she sent me. I would definitely leave Bella in her care again whenever I need to.”
“Teresa is a wonderful dog sitter. She took great care of our diabetic dog and was able to administer his insulin without issue. He got lots of inside snuggles and outside playtime. Teresa also kept us in the loop with lots of updates and photos. 100% would book with her again.”
“Rebecca was a great dog sitter! I dropped off my dog with her for the day while I was out of town and she was super communicative and incredibly accommodating. My dog came home happy and tired after a great day with her!”
About: I have had pets since I was born. I raised small breed dogs (family dogs) when I was younger and went in to raise 2 large breed dogs at my current age. I have trained my dogs since they were puppies and have often received compliments on their behavior. They enjoy time outside, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats. All of which I’d offer to any dog in my care. I have a spacious home with plenty of room to run around. I am skilled in giving medication to all sizes and ages. My Aussie is not keen on meds so I’ve had to learn ways to get around that. I love all animals and someday hope to have a farm once my husband retires from the Navy. I do not work. My husband is the worker. I’m the homemaker. So I have plenty of time to do drop ins, check ins, etc and will not leave your dog for long periods of time. I have my own car, so I’m able to make it from point A to B without issue. I also have a routine that my own dogs follow, so I’m up everyday by 8am. I have 2 crates already located in my home. I hsve 2 dogs of my own. A female pitbull (Erza) and a male Aussie (Killua). I have a garage that I allow them to run around in for exercise (I’m working on making it into a doggy play room for my dogs, but it’s large so it’d fit up to 8 dogs). I have have 3 Furbo cameras in my home, so on the off chance I have to not be home I am able to view them on camera. I can also send recordings as needed.
“I recommend Lori as a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! My dog is strong and energetic, and Lori knew how to manage him, and was very kind and patient. She gave him lots of needed attention and kept me updated. I appreciate Lori so much for making me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands!”

About: Life long dog owner. Over forty years of experience with large active breeds. From rescue to training giving fur babies an active fun day.

I have a fenced yard half the yard is a kennel but the kennel stays open for full yard to roam. My pups are usually following me around the house all day so I try to keep them active with training and hikes or long walks. For smaller indoor dogs I will provide a comfortable environment indoors with their own separate kennel to sleep in at night making sure they are pampered and spoiled. My dogs are very gentle and friendly and socialized around different size dogs their whole lives. They also have their own area that they like and stay in that can be secured for added safety.

About: I've loved and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I'm naturally curious about them and believe there is no such thing as a bad dog. I am working toward becoming a canine trainer and am currently under apprenticeship. Caring for dogs is very rewarding for me and a true passion of mine. My friends and family have sought me out for advice and to care for their pets and I would love the opportunity to care for yours as well. I have a flexible work schedule and am available for boarding 7 nights per week and for sitting every day. I can also pick up and drop off for an additional fee. I have a large fenced back yard (about 1/8 of an acre), with mixed concrete, dirt with shade. Your pup will be able to play inside and out, and will find it hard not to get along with my 8 year old Labradoodle, Maui.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have always had dogs around me. When I was a teen, I started dog sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. This is something my dad and I would do together. As an adult, I am my friends’ and family’s go to person when it comes to help them with their pets. They will always call me when they go on vacations and need help. I am looking forward to expand my network of people I can help 🙂. Bonus is my own sweet little lady, Olive, who loves all dogs! She would be so happy to have new friends! I work from home part time. I am always home, and only go in and out to get my son from school. I walk my dog four times per day. Two of these four times per day are longer walks in the neighborhood or to the park. I keep dogs on the leash at all time when we are outside. I have a fenced backyard where they can be outside and lay in the sun, and can’t escape. They also have access to water and food as required by the owner. My dog Olive is super friendly, and loves being around other dogs. She is around 15 lbs. I have a cat who is friendly but does not want to do much with other dogs. He mostly stays away.

“Audra is amazing!! Jack loves her. Shes super punctual. Has a lot of experience in the industry due to her veterinary work. 10/10 recommend her services. Great communication and always sends pictures:)”
“Jessica has been an amazing dog walker for our puppy. She is incredibly patient, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. From day one, she took the time to build trust with our puppy and always makes sure she gets the exercise, attention, and care she needs. One of the best signs of how wonderful Jessica is, is how excited our puppy gets when it's time for her weekly walk with her. It's clear that she absolutely adores her! Knowing that our puppy is in such caring and capable hands gives us great peace of mind. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog walker. We are so grateful to have found her!”
“Daisy was awesome! I had requested a booking with less than 48 hours of notice and she was so on top of responding and also willing, even offering to come by the same day to meet Arya which gave me a really good feeling. I always like to set up meet and greets if possible to allow Arya to be comfortable with a new person. She was very nice and sent multiple photos during her time with Arya. I will definitely rebook next time I need a walker!”
About: I have my own dog, and have had him since he was 4 months old, so I know what goes into keeping a dog happy and stimulated. My dog is my child and my life revolves around him. I currently work part time and also have a 3 year old dog. I still currently have a lot of free time and am looking to do something I love, with that time. My dog, Bandit, is my child. He is a completely indoor dog who has free range of the house and furniture. He is one of the family. I take him to the dog beach or dog park every single day.
“This was my first time to use Rover and from the very beginning I was so happy with Priscilla and Mike. Fiona took to Mike right away and seemed to want to be his bestie! I've now found my dog sitter for any future trips or needs. Both are such nice people and help rescue dogs in need. I wish them success and will definitely use them again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with Matheo. He is reliable, caring, and truly treats kai like his own. I feel at ease knowing my pup is in loving and safe hands. My dog comes back happy, exercised, and well cared for every time. Communication is great, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby!”

“Elizabeth was a rock star with my dog. She jumped in on short notice and was kind, responsible, and punctual. She took and sent photos through the app each time showing the walk and feeding after.

About: Having 4+ years of volunteering at my animal shelter has given me the experience to handle various kinds of dogs and their personality traits. I primarily bring them out in the play yards to get their daily exercise so to do this outside the shelter would be like my ideal day of never ending fun. On my free-time I like to research dog breeds and learn anything dog-related. I also love to run my dog blog on instagram. I would like to commit at least 3 days of full-time availability. Nighttime hours (6-11PM) is probably my preferred time because I'm almost always available then. Dogs deserve the exercise and love they need while their owners are away and I'll do my best to make make sure they get it. My house-sitting routine is set to ensure your pet receives consistent, attentive care throughout the day. On weekdays, I provide morning care before heading to work (which begins at 8:00 AM in Chula Vista). Depending on my route, I’m typically available again between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. After work, I return to spend a few hours feeding, caring for, and giving your pet plenty of attention. I then briefly check in on my own pets before coming back to your home for the evening and overnight care. On weekends, I have greater flexibility. I am available every Saturday and every other Sunday, allowing me to dedicate even more time and attention to your pet’s needs. Caring for your pet is both a joy and a responsibility I take seriously. While you’re away, they’ll be treated like one of my own—with lots of love, attention, and care. I like to follow a detailed care sheet outlining your pet’s usual routine so I can mirror it as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable and at ease in your absence. You can also expect plenty of adorable updates, and I’m always available if you or I have any questions along the way.
About: Animals are and will for ever be part of my life, they are a huge source of happiness for me, even if I’m not their owner and only have them for a few minutes, I will love them and respect them as if they where my own. I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, and other different pets and have the experience needed for knowing what they want and how to treat them. I am available to take care of your pets any day of the week even weekends! This mostly during breaks, I am a college student so during school semesters the availability can change depending on my classes, but I’ll usually change that in advance on the app. I also can do nights, or we can arrange something that will work for both sides, I’m very open to talk and help in any way possible! Most services are offered, I can walk them, feed them, spend time with them and pet them of course! I can stay nights, the day or even a few hours or minutes at your place and they are also welcome to my home any time. Safety is important on both sides, if pets are aggressive or bite please let me know in advance, if they have conditions or medical issues please let me know, I’ll take care of them with all the safety needed and provide them with a loving, caring and safe environment.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have enjoyed caring for pets my whole life. I had my sweet girl Stella, a pug, for 13 years. I crate, potty, and recall trained her as a puppy, fed her a balanced diet of vitamins and homemade food throughout her life, and gave her loving, gentle care in her senior hospice years. I’ve also cared for my mom’s boxer for a year and even taught her, her favorite trick… tossing a treat up with her nose and catching it! I’ve looked after my friends’ pets as well, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, senior dogs, birds (parrot), a chameleon, and special mentioned of a disabled Frenchie who needed a little extra help to go potty. I make friends with any neighborhood kitties when they let me. Usually just takes a bit of chicken or turkey. Lol I am happy to say that I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can work around almost any needs. Let me know what works for you! I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that giving their family peace of mind makes leaving them just a little bit easier.
About: Hi, my name is Nancy and I have been an animal lover since I was a little girl. We had dogs, cats, rabbits, birds growing up. Interactions with animals comes instinctively. I was always asked to be the animal sitter for neighbors, friends and family. Currently, I spend time daily feeding feral/community cats. I also get them spayed/neutered. I have a soft spot in my heart for these homeless animals. Currently, I have plenty of free time to care for animals. I also love to dog walk. I lived on the same block as my older sister for 16 yrs and we use to walk our dogs every morning before going to work. My favorite cat Boots would also walk with us part of way! He was the best cat ever! I currently rent a house with a yard in Chula Vista. I have rescued many cats over the years. I currently own 10 cats that I have rescued. I have one mom cat that recently had kittens. I make sure my cats have fresh water, dry/wet food and treats. I previously owned my home and had dogs as well. Growing up, we always had pets. I am kind, compassionate, responsible and care deeply for animals. Taking care of animals would be fun and a good fit in my daily lifestyle.

“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“John & Francesca were so fantastic with our young 60 lb pittie! They were so accommodating to his routine and quirks. We received pics and updates of his staycation. Highly recommended!!!!”
“I can't thank Melanie enough for taking such wonderful care of Gunny while I was out of town! From her swift response to my initial inquiry to her warm welcome when we arrived, the entire experience was fantastic. Melanie made Gunny feel right at home, and I truly appreciated the daily updates she sent - they gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Her home provided a clean, safe environment where Gunny could relax and enjoy himself. It was so comforting to see how well Gunny got along with Melanie's dog! Always nice to see him make new friends and enjoy some canine companionship during his stay. It was such a pleasant surprise to discover how much Melanie and I have in common! Those connections made me feel even more comfortable leaving Gunny in her care. I would absolutely recommend Melanie to anyone looking for pet care, and I'll definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Melanie, for going above and beyond to make our experience so positive!”
“Marissa did a fantastic job with my little puppy. We did not plan very well and had to find someone at a moment's notice and she came through - BIG TIME. My little puppy seemed so happy in the pictures and video we got of her. We really appreciated the care that Marissa gave to our baby girl. Thank you a ton!!!”

“Scout had an awesome experience with Kenia's in-home boarding while I was away. I got daily updates and pics, which really put me at ease, and my dog looked so happy and comfortable the whole time. Came home to a super relaxed pup, couldn’t ask for more! Communication before and during boarding was optimal, highly recommended!”
“First time booking with with my two golden retrievers and it was a great experience all around. Priscilla and Pascual were super friendly, easy to work with, and had great communication the entire time. My dogs came back happy and healthy, which says everything. Pick up and drop off was very convenient, and pricing felt fair. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend.”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
“Dominique really saved my week by agreeing to a last minute booking when I unexpectedly had to rearrange my travel plans and find a place to board my dog the same day. She is friendly and great with dogs. I was worried about how my dog would get along with hers, but Dominique is an amazing pack leader and managed everything without incident. I appreciated the daily photos and updates with details of how my dog spent her day, how she was eating, and sleeping. I would definitely recommend Dominique as a dog sitter, and if I ever need a sitter in the future I will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you Dominique!”

“Claudia is amazing! She is very thoughtful, considerate, and detail-oriented when it comes to dog sitting/boarding. My senior pups loved her. Highly recommended!”
About: I've been caring for fur babies since I was 10 — first informally for friends and family, and over the years my friends have come to rely on me every time they travel, trusting me with the pets they love most. That's the same care I bring to every dog I sit for: walking, boarding, sitting, and drop-in visits, all handled with genuine love and attentiveness. I'm comfortable with dogs of all temperaments and energy levels, and I treat every pup like they're my own. Your dog won't just be looked after, they'll be adored. I was laid off last year, and since then I've been dog sitting in my neighborhood in NYC. Now that I've relocated to San Diego, I'm looking to bring my services here. I'm home all day, every day, so I have plenty of time and attention to give — especially for dogs who need extra activity and frequent walks. My apartment complex also has a gated dog park, which is a great space for exercise and playtime. Pet care isn't squeezed into my week, it's a core part of it. Every dog in my care is treated like family. I'm home all day, so pets get consistent attention rather than being left alone for long stretches. They'll have plenty of walks, playtime, and one-on-one time throughout the day. I pay close attention to each dog's individual needs and routine, whether that's feeding schedules, medication, or just knowing when they need extra calm or extra activity. My goal is always for pets to feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved while their owners are away.
