I was very worried for Shinobi because i had never left her with anyone other than well recognized friends and family, but with Nate amd Ray and their warm welcoming home, i left confident that she would be taken cared of, the daily pictures put my mind at ease, she was happy and healthy when i got her back, i highly recommend their services.

Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has had dogs my entire life. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs who are truly part of my family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I believe they all deserve patience, kindness, and lots of love. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I currently work Monday thru Thursday. You are welcome to drop off on Thursday evening with a pick up on Sunday anytime. I will spend my time with your fur baby making sure they are having a great time and well cared for. I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs of my own to keeps your fur babies company. They are allowed on furniture. I love snuggles and will take lots of pictures of your pets while you’re away.

We appreciate their slow and thoughtful introduction to the pack, as well as their emphasis on safety, boundaries, and each dog’s accustomed lifestyle. Will definitely be booking again.

About: I have taken care of a family's livestock which consisted of pigs, chickens, goats, sheep and cows. I took care of another family's animals, a cat, two dogs and a bunny on a regular basis staying in their home overnight before they moved due to military orders. I do work a 8-5 job should it suit your needs I will make space to tend to your fur babies needs. I am blessed to have the outdoor yard for dogs to dig and play. The San Diego Riding Hiking and Biking trail is adjacent to my home and offers a substantial walk. I am a adoring fan of the animal spirit and adjusted my life to fit them into my experience. I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies of my own to keep your fur babies company. The fenced in yard is completely dog friendly, plenty of shade, dog toys and I can easily crate your fur baby if necessary.

Brooke and her husband, Steven, were amazing! (I hope I got his name right, my dog was rather excited when he introduced himself). My stay was very last minute as I was coming down from LA, so they didn't have a chance to meet my dog before his stay with them. They were SUPER accommodating in taking him in really early in the morning and late at night (9:30 pm), so I could go do touristy things in SD. My dog is an excited barker when he meets people, and bright at 8:30 am, the two of them came out to greet him extremely cheerful and thankfully very nice and understanding while I apologized for his barking. They have a great house with a backyard. They were super chill about Marty hanging out with them on the couch and it seemed like they had a mellow day. Since it was only a day, I mentioned they didn't have to take photos of him, but throughout the day, they sent me adorable selfies of them having fun with my pup and it made my day! Their positivity and enthusiasm made me feel so at ease and I highly recommend them. I will definitely contact them when I'm back in town again.

I do have an obligation at 5pm-8pm but that’s the only time I’m away. Your fur babies will get lots of outside zoomies. They are allowed on couches and can play with mine or get solo playtime Side note - my dogs will bark during drop off I will do my best to mitigate it but my dogs will be outside while yours gets settled and comfortable inside. I am available for boarding at my home. I can do feeding and medications. No cats. They have a big yard to play in and lots of couches and beds to snooze on

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, so I have plenty of experience. I also own a 5 month old mini aussiedoodle who is great with other small/medium sized dogs. She is crate trained, sleep trained, potty trained, and leash trained. I have lots of experience with dog training and have done a lot of research on it! I work from home full time, so I will be able to give potty breaks as often as I need to. I typically take Callie (my dog) to the park 2-3x a day and out to go potty every couple hours. I care for my pets in my home by making sure I ask all of the necessary questions beforehand. I make sure they are fed, enjoy their time with me, and get all their zoomies out at the park!

About: I have fostered Bichons thru Bichon Fur Kids Rescue in addition to previous dog sitting. I have also shown in AKC dog shows. Love dogs ! I am available 7 days a week. I prefer over-nights at my home. I am retired and have one 15 year old Bichon that loves playmates. I have a fenced yard and an unused tennis court to let the dogs run in. Walking on leash in the park is fun too.

About: Was blessed to grow up with dogs and also care for friends' and other peoples' furry family members in our community. My family has a wonderful home and property made for your doggy vacations. They can enjoy both time inside our home as well as the beautiful dog play area outside which is fully gated with coyote rollers, trees for shading, a couple sheds (one w/ AC), and fully turfed. They'll enjoy this area for playing fetch, tug of war, running around, along with just having some relaxation in the safe outdoors. Also, if they like walks, they can enjoy some of our own family walks. Since we homeschool and work from home, we are ready to provide 24 hour care while maintaining your furry family member's normal everyday routine - from when they wake up, eat, play, potty and bedtime. We love to match your normal schedule to provide them with a fun and relaxing time during their vacation at our home. Our goal is to provide a Safe, Fun, and Relaxing time for your furry family member. Whether they'll want to relax in our home or play in our beautiful and safe dog play area outside, their safety and comfort is our priority. While your furry family member is with us, they'll be treated and cared for as one of our own family members. Your furry family member gets to live life with our family as we play, do homeschool, and work all from home. We love having them in the house with us and letting them enjoy basking in the sun on the connected patio in our fully enclosed backyard, or taking them up to our Private Dog Park (steps away from our home and backyard) for another place to run around, play fetch and tug-of-war, or enjoy some shade under a couple beautiful trees. Our family of four will each care for them throughout the day - from waking up in the morning to falling asleep in the evening. From the initial Meet & Greet, we learn about your dog - their routines, how they play, how they like to be petted and scratched, how much and how often they eat and need to go potty, what time they wake up and go to sleep, medications they may need, commands and tricks they know that you'd like us to work on with them, and anything else you feel will make their time with us more relaxing and fun. We then do our best to mirror what you shared with us, so they feel safe and secure, and receive the love, care, and attention that they may need.

About: I will pay full attention to your dog. I will also watch cats, whether that is alone or with a dog present. I am very friendly, patient, and energetic. I have a fascination and respect for all animals. I will follow any specific instructions I am provided about your dog, I know they are all unique. I do have cats, they will never be in the same area as your dog. If your dog is an indoor dog I will keep them inside. I am frequent on bathroom breaks, and you can always ask me for updates and photos on your pup! I can also send updates and photos on your cat. I am willing to work with mostly any animal and am able to work with any unique quirks or personality traits your animal may have as long as you let me know how I need To act to make your pet as comfortable as possible. I also worked at a veterinary clinic for a while and was very hands on with the pets there even though I worked as the receptionist. I’ve had animals all my life. I am available most week days and Friday. I am also available Monday after 3! Any other days are negotiable based on what you need and what I am able to provide. I have fenced in part of the yard and also about a half an acre of open land where I can let your pet run while I watch them. I am also comfortable with animals that just want to hang out and watch tv.

I am reliable and I overly communicate. I love taking videos and pictures of your pet and sending them to you and your loved ones . I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of.

Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have had three dogs of my own, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also babysat and pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for breeds including Goldendoodles, Maltese, Poodles, labradors, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and many more. One thing that sets me apart is my responsibility and dedication. I recently served as the ASB President at my high school, where I learned the importance of being dependable, organized, and someone others can count on. This fall, I’ll be attending California Lutheran University to pursue both my bachelor’s and then master’s degrees. I truly love animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I would be honored to earn your trust and treat your pet like they’re one of my own. 🐾 I’m currently on summer break and in the process of preparing for my first semester at California Lutheran University, so I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll make sure they stay on their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule, provide plenty of love and attention, and always keep a close eye on them. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet, and I’ll communicate with you throughout the visit with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I believe dogs can tell when you truly care about them. I will give your dog plenty of love and attention, whether that be walks, time in the yard, time on the couch, or belly rubs. I take lots of pictures to let the owner know that their pup is having a good time in my care. I also am diligent to follow any care instructions provided to me and to create a safe and fun environment for all the pets entrusted to me. I have owned at least one dog for over 20 years, starting with the family pet as a young girl. I have always taken on the main responsibilities of caring for the family dog and now have two of my own, Nacho and Toby. My husband is a nurse and can administer medication as well. I love all breeds and am open to caring for any size pet. My husband and I have used Rover on multiple occasions for our own pets when we went out of town and have always had good experiences. I am privileged to have a yard and a schedule that allows me to take excellent care of other people's dogs as well. I am currently staying home with my kiddos and will have plenty of time to care for your fur baby as well! Our “grandpa golden” golden retriever is our only fur baby right now, and is a patient and sweet companion for any dog! We have a fenced in yard and a sweet golden retriever to keep your fur baby company and would welcome your dog into our home! We can crate your dog upon request, but usually expect your pet to enjoy our home and yard alongside our family. We will treat your baby as one of our own!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, so I have plenty of experience. I also own a 5 month old mini aussiedoodle who is great with other small/medium sized dogs. She is crate trained, sleep trained, potty trained, and leash trained. I have lots of experience with dog training and have done a lot of research on it! I work from home full time, so I will be able to give potty breaks as often as I need to. I typically take Callie (my dog) to the park 2-3x a day and out to go potty every couple hours. I care for my pets in my home by making sure I ask all of the necessary questions beforehand. I make sure they are fed, enjoy their time with me, and get all their zoomies out at the park!

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I have always been there to pet sit for my friends and neighbors, considering they know how much I love animals. I am currently employed part time. My work hours vary, but my days off are always Tuesday/Wednesday/Sunday. I am a dog groomer for a living and have the option to bring dogs that I am pet sitting into work with me to socialize them with the dogs I work on. That being said, I can provide 24 hour care 7 days a week due to the flexibility of my job. I absolutely love working with animals and am very experienced in the field. I would love to make new furry friends! I live in a community of houses that has beautiful streets to take a walk on, including a lake and a dog park. It is an animal friendly home, with no other dogs at the moment besides the dogs I take care of for people! There will be plenty of opportunities to socialize with other dogs outside of the house.

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds since a young age. I grew in a home with cats, and later dogs were introduced. However, outside of the home life I was surrounded by dogs! The daycare I attended had an in-home grooming service, and I got to help groom the 13 dogs that lived there! I’ve also been fortunate enough to be a part of the training process for some dogs that have been in 4-H! Finally to the good stuff; I’ve been a reliable dog/house sitter for the same couple for the last 5 years. In the span of those 5 years, they moved 3 houses, and so I got to experience first hand how upset the pups can get when their environment is changed. Some of the basic duties include feeding and making sure they have water, making sure they’re going to the bathroom regularly, being walked and played with regularly and cleaning up messes. Some additional tasks are taking them to their vet visits and administering medication (pill-form)! My availability is pretty flexible! I’m a full time student, so I currently am not working. For more information regarding scheduling please contact me directly! I will treat your home as I do mine. I take pride in a clean living space! I will take care of feeding, and making sure they have water. I will ensure they have been walked, played with, have had treats, and are snuggled at night time! I can administer medication (pill form), if necessary.

We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Lily provided for our beloved pup, Hazel! Lily's patience, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference in Hazel's walks. She took her time, ensuring Hazel felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment. The detailed report card Lily provided after each walk was impressive, giving us a clear picture of Hazel's adventures. We're so grateful to have found Lily and can't wait to have her as our go-to for weekly walks. She truly is a dog lover's dream come true! Five paws up!

About: I grew up with so many animals around me! My mom has 3 cats and 2 dogs, and my dad has the opposite, 3 dogs and two cats. For a semester at college, I volunteered at a small cat adoption area where I would clean, play, and process cat adoptions. I also volunteer at an SPCA where I walk dogs, and clean dishes and laundry! I love love animals and learning their personalities, and have never lived without them. Even in college, my roommate had a service dog! I am on break from school, so I am available anytime within my break timeframe! I'm perfectly comfortable with quick check-ins, walks, and overnight stays! With good communication, I can ensure walks are safe by knowing your dogs' typical behavior and reactions to people, cars, other animals, or anything else. I would love to foster a good relationship with your animal and build trust so I can read their mood and behaviors efficiently!

I was very worried for Shinobi because i had never left her with anyone other than well recognized friends and family, but with Nate amd Ray and their warm welcoming home, i left confident that she would be taken cared of, the daily pictures put my mind at ease, she was happy and healthy when i got her back, i highly recommend their services.

We are very happy with the care Brooke and Steve gave our dog. They welcomed our shy little guy into their home, giving us great comfort about his wellbeing while we were away. We really appreciated the text and photo updates. I won't hesitate to recommend and rebook with Brooke!

Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!

I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!

Normally my dog gets a little anxious being left with strangers. But just after a 45 minute trial with Adriana and Cameron, she didn’t even look back or cry when we dropped her off! We got photos and videos of our dog while we were gone and constant communication! Great pet hosts!

Maddie and Moses took great care of our nearly senior, very nervous dog. They put us at ease immediately, and we’re so thankful to have found people we can trust with our baby. We appreciate their slow and thoughtful introduction to the pack, as well as their emphasis on safety, boundaries, and each dog’s accustomed lifestyle. Will definitely be booking again.

About: We own a Border Collie, tuxedo cat, chickens, a snake, and a goat. I grew up around animals too and I've learned a lot from my mom and have had the experience not only caring for multiple dogs, but also cats, rats, horses, rabbits, chickens, goats, hamsters, snakes, and hermit crabs. I have a sensitive heart for all animals. I promise to take good care of your furry family members so that you can relax and know that they are in good hands. We have a high energy dog, a cat, a snake, chickens and a goat and taking care of them is part of my regular routine. Animal lover here, so I can guarantee that your pet or pets will be given the love, attention, and care that I give my own.

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.
