“Angie was located in a great neighborhood. we felt really comfortable leaving our dogs with Angie. she had a very spacious backyard to include a dog of her own. she was very caring and accommodating while we left our dogs with her for six days and five nights she would send pictures daily as updates. our dogs had no issues when we picked them up. we will definitely hire Angie again. we highly recommend Angie to anyone in the Escondido area.”
“Tatyanah and Everardo watched our dog Nova for five nights and took such wonderful care of her. They are so friendly and you can tell right away they love dogs. It was such a relief to know she was being loved and well cared for while we were on vacation. They have a spacious yard, and Nova especially enjoyed playing with their two dogs—she bonded quickly with Jojo! They took her on plenty of walks and kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love for them to watch her again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Marta was great! She was super responsive, communicated very well and I could tell my dog was in the best hands. She sent me a ton of photos and videos every day! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“First time we had left our Puppy, Button. We were nervous. Diane was so friendly and Button was a little apprehensive. She sent several updates and pictures and when we return to pick him up, he was happy and well cared for and loves Diane. Recommendation direct from Button - She took good care of me, played with me and took me for a walk in her stroller. See you soon. Button”
“Mindy and Brian took excellent care of my puppy! I enjoyed getting pictures of him and they were quick to respond when I checked in on him. They were very easygoing about timing. My puppy loved playing with their dogs, sleeping in their bed and getting lots of love and attention. Would absolutely book with them again.”
“Caleb is almost too accommodating. I’ve changed bookings on him last minute or needed a late night pick up and he’s consistently been able to meet my needs. My dog is always excited to spend time with Caleb and the other dogs. He keeps me updated with videos and photos.”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“Erin is a very kind, caring, and professional pet sitter. I have a young puppy, and she took amazing care of Luna during her overnight stay. Not only is Erin knowledgeable about pet care, but she also went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Since Luna is still a puppy and can be nervous in new environments, Erin took extra time to help her adjust. She even created a cozy sleeping space and set up a crate for her, which made a huge difference. Erin’s home is very pet-friendly, clean, safe, and well-organized, with everything needed to care for animals properly. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. Honestly, Erin is one of the best pet sitters we’ve had so far, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. ☺️🫶🏼🐾”
“Kym, Tom, and Dusty to the rescue once again! I really hate to leave my Stella behind, but bringing her on an 8 day vacation was not an option. These guys always do a fantastic job of taking care of Stella and reassuring us that she is just fine. I always get photo updates which helps ease my worries. And to be clear-I never worry about the level of care she receives here. I worry she thinks we abandoned her! I know she’s in very good hands with Kym.”
About: Hi! I’m Ana — a compassionate and experienced caregiver specializing in senior pets and those with medical needs. I’ve lovingly cared for my own aging dogs and cats, including blind, diabetic, and mobility-challenged companions. I’m also experienced in caring for livestock, reptiles, and amphibians! Please let me know if these are part of your family and I am happy to offer care. I’m confident administering insulin, oral meds, supplements, and supporting pets on specialized diets or comfort routines. I’m actively involved with the Humane Society in Escondido, where I provide enrichment, socialization, and gentle care for animals in need. I understand that some pets need a little extra time, patience, and tenderness — and I provide just that. Whether it’s help with stairs, gentle walks, some space, or a calm lap to rest on, I’m here to offer steady, attentive care while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I’ll keep you updated with notes, photos, and peace of mind:) I will gladly walk your dog(s) during a drop in visit for no extra charge 💜 Caring for animals is already woven into my daily life. As a lifelong pet parent (including senior and special-needs animals), I’m used to early mornings, meal prep, medication routines, walks, cleanups, and cuddle time. My days are structured around care — whether it’s my own pets or yours — so showing up reliably and compassionately is second nature to me. I build my schedule with flexibility to give each pet the attention and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, an overnight stay, or a daily walk, I integrate pet care smoothly into my week, keeping communication open and routines consistent for peace of mind — yours and theirs 🐶🐱💛 In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s familiar routine — meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and medications — with as little disruption as possible. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and always follow your instructions carefully. I bring a calm, grounded presence and take the time to build trust, especially with older or shy pets. In my own home, I provide a quiet, cozy space and a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised and treated like family. I’m mindful of their energy levels and comfort, especially for seniors or those with medical needs, and I make sure their days are calm, enriched, and consistent. Whether I’m visiting or hosting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority — and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way 💛🐾
“This was Miku’s first time being boarded with non-family/friends in her 3+ years. Kim sent pictures and updates each day and accommodated our delayed travel schedule as well. This was a comfortable, seamless experience. Thank you!”
“Moon has come to my rescue once again. Always available last minute and so flexible. She goes out of her way to keep me updated, takes my pup on walks/to the lake/park/beach. Dolly comes home better behaved than when I leave her and I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t mind moving in with Moon and Nova 😉 thank you again ❤️”
“Audra and Mike did a great job taking care of Bella! We received daily updates and pictures, which we really appreciate. We felt very comfortable trusting our fur baby with Audra and Mark!”
“We couldn't be happier with choosing Lena to watch our pup for his first overnight stay since we adopted him! We appreciated the cute photos and updates that she provided. Our rescue pup is pretty anxious, but she welcomed him into her home and he thoroughly enjoyed his stay! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for taking great care of him :)”
“Lucia did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Jemma!! She sent me pictures each day, which I appreciated. Jemma really seemed to have a nice stay and was very well taken care of. She was brushed daily and came home with her coat in amazing shape!! I would definitely recommend Lucia!”

“I had never used Rover or any service like it before and I was so nervous. I used the house sitting service and Anna was so sweet and took care of my two cats. Not only were the kitties taken care of and loved on, she kept the house all clean! She sent photos and when I reached out she replied in a very timely manner! Anna made my time away home a lot less stressful knowing she took care of everything so well. Any future trips, I’ll definitely be wanting Anna to watch the cats! Thank you ❤️”
About: • I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets, with most of my hands on experience being with cats. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own pets, helped family and friends with their pets, and also fostered cats. This has helped me understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. • I’m especially familiar with cats and their needs, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I always pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and try to make them feel secure and comfortable in my care. If needed, I can also help with basic care and grooming, as long as the cat feels comfortable and not stressed. • For boarding, I have a dedicated spare room in my home that is completely reserved for visiting cats, so they can have their own quiet and comfortable space. I only accept one boarding family at a time and do not board other cats together, which helps create a more peaceful and low stress stay. Owners are welcome to bring their cat’s favorite toys, cat tree, litter box, or other familiar items to help them feel more at home. • My goal is always to provide gentle, attentive care and make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owner is away.
“Kati is fantastic! She has a good head on her shoulders and knows the right thing to do without any fuss, but also follows all directions given. We will be booking with her again!”
“Amazing as always. Breanna has such a kind heart and takes very good care of my Bella. Food, water, litter, pets all handled perfectly. Bella is always in a good mood when I come home and that is a sign that she is well taken care of.”
About: I’ve had cats since I was born. I’ve fostered a few dozen kittens and provided care for terminal cats. I know how to perform subcutaneous injections, prepare and use a feeding tube, and a master of delivering oral medication. Will do nail trimming for an additional fee.
“Adam was great as usual!! We continue to be repeat customers because of his reliability, great communication, and of course, he always does a wonderful job taking care of our babies! 10/10 recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m your pet’s new favorite human 😉 and a reliable animal lover who loves keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I grew up with cats and dogs and have become the go-to sitter for friends and family when they travel. I’m happy to care for pets based on their personalities—whether that’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like part of my own pack (or clowder 🐾).
“Emily did such a wonderful job taking care of my two cats! She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable, even staying with them for longer than the 30-minute visits I paid for. She sincerely loves and cares for animals, and is truly all I could ask for in a pet sitter. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Paris was great! She sent lots of photos and communicated with me daily. She loves cats and I felt confident that my cat was in good hands. I would definitely leave my cat with her again!”
“Amanda was very nice with our pets. She was punctual and took good care of them. Our kittens also enjoyed her company and were happy with her around. I would highly recommend her for pet-sitting services.”
“Heather was kind, punctual and knowledgeable on cat care. My male kitty went right up to her during the meet and greet. I will use her services again. Highly recommend Heather!”
“Ana is very friendly and my cat warmed up to her as soon as they met! Sasha got a chance to go outside and Ana took care of her water/litter needs. I would absolutely recommend her to any furbaby in need of a friend!”
“Carley watched my cats while I was out if the country with exceptional care and attention. She provided thoughtful daily updates, including photos and little stories that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She made time to play with them regularly and even bonded with my more difficult cat, showing real patience and understanding of feline attitudes. I can tell she genuinely understands animals, and cared about their well-being and my comfort while away. Thank you so much Carley!!”

“Alicia was great with providing updates with Dino. He had plenty of enrichment being with Alicia and her daughter. It was great to have him with a fellow dog about his size and such great people to care for him. I would book with her again!”
“Angie is very kind and flexible. My partner and I both work full time. I work 10-6pm and he works a somewhat flexible shift. She is accommodating to our schedule. Beautiful yard and sweet Charlie Brown. Thank you, Angie!”
About: Hi, I’m Niki! I’ve had over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and grew up in a household with them, so being around pets has always been second nature to me. Friends and family consistently rely on me for dog sitting because they know I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, my love for them has never changed. I’ve had my bunny for about six years now, which has only strengthened my patience, consistency, and commitment to caring for animals every day. I also volunteer doing dog walks and “day out” trips at the Humane Society, which has given me experience working with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. I prioritize safety, routine, and creating a calm, comfortable environment so each dog feels secure, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home four days a week, which allows me plenty of time to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and regular walks throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to maintain feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and exercise without feeling rushed. Because I’m home most of the week, I’m able to provide a calm, attentive environment and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m also available for weekend care upon request. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets comfortable while maintaining their usual routine. During walks, I ensure dogs get safe, structured exercise tailored to their energy level, along with positive reinforcement and attentiveness to their surroundings. Safety is always my top priority. For drop-ins, I follow feeding schedules closely, refresh water, provide potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment, and give plenty of affection so pets don’t feel stressed or lonely. I also monitor their behavior and overall well-being during each visit. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve helped neighbors and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and general care, and I’ve also fostered kittens. I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors who need a gentler approach. Spending time with animals means a lot to me, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m a full-time student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or check-ins, I can adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs and keep their schedule consistent. My schedule is especially open during the summer, with even more daytime availability. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority. I take the time to follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and any medications—so your pet feels secure and well cared for. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, stay aware of our surroundings, and choose calm, pet-friendly routes. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and ensure everything is secure while you’re away. For boarding and daycare, I offer a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I have a small fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m happy to take dogs to a nearby dog park if requested. I’m mindful of each dog’s comfort level and energy, and I tailor care to match. I provide consistent photo updates for walks, meals, medications, and playtime so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to offer dependable, thoughtful care that gives you complete peace of mind—and helps your pet feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home.
“Thank you, Claudia! Claudia was great with our last minute request to help care for our puppy and adult dog. She was fast to respond and kept us informed. We would enjoy having her watch our dogs again!”
“They were amazing with Moose! We had a last minute need for dog sitting and they were able to accommodate within 30 minutes. We felt quite lucky. They even provided their own leash, water bowl, bed, and treats so we didn’t have to leave his stuff at all. Thank you both!!!”
“Kathryn & Matt Took great care of Charlie. Charlie was always excited when we pulled up to their house. They have a nice setup for your pet to play in the backyard or go on walks in a nice neighborhood.”
“Marta is a great sitter for our pup, making sure that he feels safe and comfortable. She sends lots of picture updates as well, which is nice. We feel confident leaving our dog with her.”
“Moon took great care of our Lab girl and even worked with her on some commands. Moon has a sweet pup that played with our girl and our pyp was returned to us happy and worm out for a good nap. We'll use her for future pet sitting”
About: We’re a loving family who adores dogs! Our friendly pup loves making new friends, and we’ll treat your dog like part of the family. Plenty of cuddles, playtime, and attention guaranteed!

About: Taking care of pets runs in my family big time. My grandparents would always have at least 3 cats at a time, plus would volunteer to take care of homeless cats and dogs. My childhood was full of rescue experiences thanks to the kindness of my parents' hearts. I am deeply committed to our furry family members and know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet when you're going on vacation. Luckily, I have lots of experience taking care of pets from birth to their very last days and everything in between (medication administration, special care, baths and much more). My goal is to be pet-centered and give them exactly what they need - whether it's more space and peace, or snuggles and playtime. I'm currently working remotely from home, so I'll be able to pay a lot of attention to your dear pet. The flexibility my job provides will allow me to meet the needs of your pets and adjust to their schedule if needed. I live in a house in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood perfect for walks. I also have a big crate in case your pet needs it.
“Aidni watched my dog after I created last minute plans. She was super accommodating and welcomed my dog into her home. My dog has an existing back/ neurological injury and normally after a dog sitter, his symptoms come back, but with Aidni, he returned home the same way he arrived. I will gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her services!”
About: I love dogs, and am a patient and attentive care-giver. As a teacher, I am home full time during the summer and on evenings and weekends, so your pet will have a lot of care and social interaction. During the school year, I am a full time teacher, but during the summer, I enjoy taking of sweet fur babies. Due to allergies in the family, I have to limit my availability to dogs who are low-shedding/hypoallergenic like poodle and yorkie mixes, Shih Tzus, havenese,and schnauzers. Please keep this in mind when requesting a booking. I have a large fenced yard with a removable doggy door to allow free movement between the house and yard. I can easily crate your pet if needed and will provide daily walks and plenty of play. We also have a 25 lb shorkie named Ringo who gets along great with other dogs.
“Had a great experience with Rachel! We needed a last-minute booking, and she was very accommodating and responsive. Our pup seemed really happy and comfortable during the stay, and it was clear he was well cared for. We appreciated the updates and peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”
“Colean was amazing with our 5 month old border collie! He is a shy puppy but he made friends in no time and was always excited to go back! He gained valuable social skills that we are so grateful for. Colean provided regular updates and provided exceptional care!”

About: I love dogs and cats! I own one of each, and have fostered about forty. I have learned great leash-training skills, and behavior management of fearful dogs to help them feel more comfortable. I am fit and enjoy exercise, so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or even hikes! I can also administer treats on a walk if a dog needs some leash-training. Most importantly, I will treat your pup with kindness and affection. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the summer and holidays. For care in my home, I only live about five minutes from work, making it easy for me to check on animals during the day. For care in your home, I bring my own dog with me overnight. She is good with other animals. I am currently home full time for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside and love to take dogs for walks. I am also happy to chill inside and relax and give scritches. In my home, I have a secure fenced yard outside and a large crate available inside. At others’ homes I am respectful of my surroundings and treat all animals and property with great care.
About: I have tons of experience with all kinds of animals. I have loved and cared for: -kittens, senior cats, and pregnant cats -puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs I’ve also had birds, fish, and bunnies. I have also volunteered with horses and other farm animals, although I’ve never personally owned any. I am currently a college student and a manager at an ice cream shop. I’m looking to help my community and fill my time! I work most days but, most of my classes are online. I am willing to be flexible! I am very particular when it comes to client care. I don’t believe you can “spoil” an animal because they’re our babies! Let’s take care of them the best we can together. Any requests for pet care are fine by me as long as the animal is safe and happy! My animals(I have 3 dogs and 2 cats) all get along well, are fed well, and regularly see a vet.
“Jessica is amazing! We have a puppy that still needs some training and Jessica makes sure to follow that on walks and gives us updates on how she does everyday. She’s responsive and responsive.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who understands how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone you trust. I’ll treat your pups like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including senior dogs and pets who may need extra patience or attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I know every pup is different, so I try to match their routine and make their stay as stress free and fun as possible, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I'm mainly a stay at home mom while working remotely a few hours/week so my schedule is very flexible! I'm available for doggy day care, boarding, drop-ins and walks! Our home's living area is a bit small so I understand if that does not work for the bigger dogs! But, as long as they don't mind, we don't mind! We have a fenced yard with a grassy area where your dog can relax outside. There is a small doggy door where the smaller dogs can have independant access to the yard. Larger dogs would not fit through the doggy door but since I'm home for most of the day, I will be able to provide outside access whenever needed. I have one small dog name Leo who is 9 years old. He is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix. He is mellow and prefers to keep to himself. I can separate Leo from your dog if needed! Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pup with someone you can trust, and I do everything I can to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions, just let me know!
About: Proud owner of an Australian cattle dog named Roxy. Father of two. I'm professional communicative and honest. I show up when I say I'm going to and provide the best experience possible for your dog. I am available anytime 7 days a week. Day or night for house visits, and dog walks. I know how stressful it could be worrying about your pet when you are away. I always make sure your dog is happy and tired and ready for a nap after my walks. Some dogs need a little more exercise than others, and I will make sure that they are satisfied.
“Heather has been a rock star, super communicative and helps us out in a bind or just on our regular walks. I know my dog is getting quality walks and she always reports when there's anything we need to watch or for.”
About: I’ve pet sat for a multitude of households ranging from one to three animals at once, I take them on daily walks. Make sure they’re fed at least two times a day with correct portion sizes and make it a priority to keep them entertained and active! I’m currently on summer break and currently unemployed so I have more than enough time to care for furry friends! I have a wide range of availability as I only go back to school in September! My backyard is fully fenced in with the gates on either side so no escaping here! I have one 13-year-old white lab who is a gentle giant and will be more than happy to meet new friends!

About: I have always had dogs around or as pets growing up. I have experience in administering medication orally and topically as I had a senior dog who was diagnosed with cancer. I currently have two dogs: 3 year old and 8 months. I have training experience as I worked with trainers with my own dogs. I’ll have plenty of time to give your fur baby attention and short / long walks. I have a subcompact SUV where I can take them to the dog parks nearby if allowed. I crate train my youngest fur baby and keep her on potty schedules in the evening. My 3 year old is completely potty trained and roams freely lounging.

With a deep understanding of pet behavior and subtle cues, I provide compassionate care, even recognizing hidden pain. My journey with my late rescue dog, Jax, taught me patience and empathy, transforming him from a fearful pup to a confident companion. Now, I extend that love and expertise to pamper and safeguard your beloved pets, ensuring they receive the same tender care and attention as my own furry family member, Loki. I will even take your dog(s) for a run, not just a walk. Flexible schedule Monday through Sunday I just need a one day notice. I am working part time so hopefully I can accommodate your needs and more importantly you fur baby’s needs! I will be happy to clean the litter box or play with your pet in your home. I pay special attention to making sure doors and gates are secure when entering and exiting the home and I know how wily animals can be trying to escape, at times. If your dog is a digger I can check perimeters, if needed, while you are away, to spot any of this behavior and do what I can to secure the area.
“Emily is a sweet young lady who immediately connected with our dog. She took him on several walks and he loved every one of them. She communicated well with pictures and a route of the walk so you know exactly where they went. We are looking forward to having her also dog sit for us in the future.”

About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was 10. My neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me for taking care of their fur babies while they were gone on trips or vacations. I have also owned a four legged baby ever since I have been on this planet. I will love your baby(s) as much as my own. I will check on your babies first thing in the morning while they are in my care. My husband is also a zookeeper at the Safari Park so I have extra skills and knowledge about animals. Whatever your needs are I will work it into my schedule. It’s a plus if they are friendly with my own fur babies. I can take your pets on long walks and crate them if I need to. If they don't like the crate, I can block them off in the kitchen or whereever you would like. If they are okay with my own fur babies, they will be out and about and I will keep a close on them. Whatever works best for you and your fur baby is what I will do.

“Marta was great! She was super responsive, communicated very well and I could tell my dog was in the best hands. She sent me a ton of photos and videos every day! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Mindy and Brian took excellent care of my puppy! I enjoyed getting pictures of him and they were quick to respond when I checked in on him. They were very easygoing about timing. My puppy loved playing with their dogs, sleeping in their bed and getting lots of love and attention. Would absolutely book with them again.”
“Caleb is almost too accommodating. I’ve changed bookings on him last minute or needed a late night pick up and he’s consistently been able to meet my needs. My dog is always excited to spend time with Caleb and the other dogs. He keeps me updated with videos and photos.”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“We couldn't be happier with choosing Lena to watch our pup for his first overnight stay since we adopted him! We appreciated the cute photos and updates that she provided. Our rescue pup is pretty anxious, but she welcomed him into her home and he thoroughly enjoyed his stay! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for taking great care of him :)”
“Lucia did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Jemma!! She sent me pictures each day, which I appreciated. Jemma really seemed to have a nice stay and was very well taken care of. She was brushed daily and came home with her coat in amazing shape!! I would definitely recommend Lucia!”
“Claudia was so lovely! She was very accommodating to watch my dog last minute and was so warm and friendly! I felt she really treated my dog as her own, and from the pictures and videos she sent me I could tell that my Pookie was happy, safe, and loved. I can only recommend Claudia highly to anyone that is looking to have their dog being taken care of - she will love them as if they are her own! Thank you Claudia for taking care of Pookie and loving her everyday that she was with you ❤️”
About: I had 3 dogs since 2002 and raised them from puppy early age until their end of life. my last one died 1 year ago. I'm not ready to get another one but would love to give some love and attention to someone else's dogs. I'm newly retired and would love to spend more time around dogs to play with them, walk with them. I love to be outside as much weather permit. I have a fenced backyard and able to crate your dog if needed. If I have to go away for a short period like 1hr, your dog will be confined in a safe area (entire family room).
About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was 10. My neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me for taking care of their fur babies while they were gone on trips or vacations. I have also owned a four legged baby ever since I have been on this planet. I will love your baby(s) as much as my own. I will check on your babies first thing in the morning while they are in my care. My husband is also a zookeeper at the Safari Park so I have extra skills and knowledge about animals. Whatever your needs are I will work it into my schedule. It’s a plus if they are friendly with my own fur babies. I can take your pets on long walks and crate them if I need to. If they don't like the crate, I can block them off in the kitchen or whereever you would like. If they are okay with my own fur babies, they will be out and about and I will keep a close on them. Whatever works best for you and your fur baby is what I will do.
“Taryne was great! She responded quickly to any questions. She kept me up to date with what was happening with Bumi as well as sending plenty of picture updates that were appreciated. Highly recommend”
“At first, I was hesitant because I’ve never left our fur baby with a petsitter before but my worries were put to rest. David is absolutely wonderful! He gives updates,very detailed in asking about Rocky’s routines. He’s highly recommended and we’ll definitely use his services again.”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Great experience with Emily! She communicated often during the weekend she had my pups & sent lots of pictures. Very safe, clean, and loving environment. My pups were well taken care of! Very happy!”
