“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.”

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. My dog, Bearra, a Lab and German Shepherd mix, recently passed away after living an amazing 15.5 years. She was such a huge part of my life and taught me how important patience, love, exercise, and attentive care are for pets at every stage of life. As a teacher on summer break, I’m looking forward to spending more time outside doing something I truly enjoy, caring for and spending time with dogs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, caring, and attentive service for both you and your dog. I am a teacher on summer break, so I currently have a very flexible schedule with my days, evenings, and weekends available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I enjoy being active and outside, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine and gives me the opportunity to spend time doing something I genuinely love. While I do not have a private yard, my complex has safe grassy areas for walks and bathroom breaks, and I enjoy taking dogs on walks around Coronado, Seaport Village, and Miramar Reservoir. I treat pets like family, so they are welcome on the furniture and will receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care while they are with me.

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.

About: I’ve cared for many pets over the years for family and friends, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m very attentive and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I follow routines closely, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and companionship. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they’re happy, clean, and cared for. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, so pet sitting fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to be available most times of the day, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Since my schedule isn’t packed, I can focus on making sure each pet is comfortable, safe, and well taken care of while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets at home, I make sure they get plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I take them on at least two or three walks during the day and make sure they get lots of playtime so they stay active and happy. I also keep their space clean, make sure feeding schedules are followed, and give them plenty of attention so they feel comfortable. At night I make sure they have a safe, comfortable place to sleep and that they’re settled in for the night. In the morning I repeat the routine by checking their food and water, taking them out for a walk, and making sure they start the day happy and well cared for.

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’m dog lover with experience in dog walking and pet sitting. Having volunteered at local shelters, I have experience with many small/medium breeds. Getting to know each dog’s unique personality and preferred walking style is something I take pride in! Coming from a family of dog lovers, I understand they’re part of the family :) I am currently working remotely on a flexible schedule and have plenty of downtime during my day to accommodate daily walks, both short and long. I live in an area with plenty of green space and my normal exercise routine is walking, so I would love to have a companion with me while I do it. I like to make sure the dog is comfortable with me for at least a couple of hours before bringing them into their new environment. My apartment is fully animal-proofed, so dangerous items and choking hazards are put away before any animal enters the home. I like to have their bed and toys (and maybe a blanket from home!) in a quiet corner so they can be away from the kitchen and the front door. Also, I aim to entertain them and give them personalized attention depending on their personality and independence level. Overall, I am attentive and strive to create a peaceful environment for your dog.

That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities.

“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.”

I treat pets like family, so they are welcome on the furniture and will receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care while they are with me.
“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!!!!”

“Took such good care of my pup Kona, provided daily pics/updates and was accommodating on drop off time. They also transported Kona to another dog sitter, as I was out of town for an extended period. Definitely went the extra mile, highly recommend :)”
“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.”

About: I’ve cared for many pets over the years for family and friends, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m very attentive and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I follow routines closely, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and companionship. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they’re happy, clean, and cared for. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, so pet sitting fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to be available most times of the day, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Since my schedule isn’t packed, I can focus on making sure each pet is comfortable, safe, and well taken care of while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets at home, I make sure they get plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I take them on at least two or three walks during the day and make sure they get lots of playtime so they stay active and happy. I also keep their space clean, make sure feeding schedules are followed, and give them plenty of attention so they feel comfortable. At night I make sure they have a safe, comfortable place to sleep and that they’re settled in for the night. In the morning I repeat the routine by checking their food and water, taking them out for a walk, and making sure they start the day happy and well cared for.
“Ami and her family (pup included) were nothing short of wonderful and attentive for Abbi's stay. Easy to schedule meet and greet, attentive communication and received updates/photos while we were out of the country. Abbi seemed to enjoy her time with Ami and came home safe and sound. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“bowie had the best time with katia. i was updated with lots of photos. i was happy to hear he got along with her cat. she followed his schedule and he had no issues. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Desteny took amazing care of King when I had to go out of town. She sent photos of him every day, and he looked calm and happy in every single one. She was accommodating of his needs, and was willing to give him the same routine and structure that he has at home. I appreciate her willingness to provide boarding for King despite my request being short notice. Will definitely board with her next time!”
“It was our first time booking with Monique and I would 100% book again! We left our dog with her for five nights, and he was well taken care of. We got daily updates and pictures, and we love that she has a work-from-home and fenced yard set-up so that he was with people most of the time. Thank you Monique! Sheep seems like he had a great time with you!”
“Very satisfied with my booking for my senior boxer/german Shepard & pug! My old guy had a health scare and Raquel calmly communicated with me and worked with me to have my mom take him to the hospital. She and her family are very calm and confident of their care, which gave me peace of mind. Great pictures, adorable bandanas and clear updates. Thank you Raquel & Family for taking care of our fur babies with so much love.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
