Nate and Ray are the best. Have used them several times. Woofy knows exactly where she is headed when we turn the corner on their street. I get constant photo updates. These guys will always be our first choice.

Honestly I would never leave my two dogs with anyone else. Kirsten always takes good care of my two boys as if they were her own. She always communicated and sent updates during their stay, which allowed me to relax and truly enjoy my trip knowing Zuko and Dante were in great hands. My dogs absolutely love Kirsten and her family. Whenever I drop them off, you can tell they feel comfortable and happy with her. Her dog Jack loves to play with them, and my dogs also adore spending time with her daughter. It really gives me peace of mind knowing they are treated like part of the family. This is my fourth or fifth time leaving them in Kirsten’s care, and every single time I feel completely confident that they are being well taken care of. I highly recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pets.

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.

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!

Whitney did it again! We chose to go with her again because of her awesome care the first time around. She took care of our baby as if she was her own and we are so grateful. We feel like Whitney has earned our trust and we will definitely hope she’s available the next time around because as nerve racking as it is to place your animal in someone else’s hands, Whitney made me feel comfortable and sent me lots of cute pics along the way which I love! Thank you so much Whitney you’re the best!!!

She also sends updates with cute pictures and always reassured us that he is okay and happy. We enjoyed our vacation worry-free knowing our dog was in good hands. Thank you, Auntie Pilar!

Marla was so amazing! She took such good care of our cat. She spent time with her, played with her, laughed with her, and made sure she had plenty of food, water, and a clean litter box every day. Our cat loved her. Marla is a natural, loving, animal person and our cat took to her immediately. We were traveling internationally and getting the daily pictures and videos were priceless so we knew our kitty cat was happy, and healthy, and taken care of. We were nervous about having someone in our home while we were away but all of that went away when we met Marla. She is someone you can trust with your pets, your home, and everything else. We will absolutely use Marla again and highly recommend her.

About: Your dogs will be able to go to the dog park and given treats for good deeds. They'll be able to play with toys and have a constant water supply. I am open to washing and grooming the dog as well if you ask. They will get all my attention. Regarding to my schedule, I go to college everyday at 2pm and I arrive home at different times each day. I am completely available during the weekends. I have had experience before of dog sitting and the owner can vouch for me that I did a great job. I walked the dog, cleaned up their business, made sure the house was tidy, I grabbed their mail when they asked, and more. Your dog will be well taken care of.

About: I grew up with many pets and learned how to care for them exceptionally well. I understand giving them boundaries and having fun playing with them are both keys to great care. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as I am a very active person who loves exploring as much as your dog does! When I started pet sitting about 15 years ago I found I had a gift for helping dogs and cats who have a hard time adjusting when their owners are away. I also specialize in senior care as I’m willing to do anything needed to help your dog or cat be comfortable, eat well, and feel loved. I interact with each one as the unique individual they are. Let me know all about your pet’s personality and special needs so I can be the closest thing to having you at home as possible. I’m currently in school a couple days a week and have flexible work which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups during the week and on weekends. I only care for pets at your home. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule to be there when needed. I can also do overnight house and pet sitting if needed.

About: Hey there! I've been in raising and training dogs for a while and had a fun doing it. I’m originally from San Diego and am home for a few months after finishing my masters degree at Columbia University. While I don't have a pup of my own right now, I'm all about providing top-notch care. I absolutely love strolling around local parks, and exploring new places! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I've got some wiggle room to hang out with your furry pal throughout the week and over the weekends. Can’t wait to meet your fur-baby– they'll be in pawsitively great hands! RE: PRICES- I totally get times are tough, so I'm all ears for working out prices. Being in grad school, I’m available all evenings, free each weekend and have several gaps throughout the week! I take walks daily before/after work and on the weekends and would love to have a furry companion! I live near a few parks but there are many other parks walking distance from here. In my clients home, I will be sure to respect their belongings and be sure to keep any safety hazards away from their pets.

About: I’m a 35 year old homeschooling mother of two (7&9). We would like to love on and take care of your furry friends while your away. I’ve taken care of animals of every kind. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to care for, feed, check on, bathe their cats, dogs, goats, horses and tortoise! We are punctual, kind, good at communicating and great with all animals! My availablity depends on if you mind my children come with me or not but I’m super flexible! I currently have one adult medium dog, 1 Large mixed breed (1year old) a horse and chickens. I have a large yard for plenty of play but it is NOT fenced so please no run a ways please :) I homeschool and work part time from home. The kids and I are home most days and only leave for a few hours at a time for activities like gymnastics or soccer. Both my dogs are friendly and not food aggressive at all. They free feed out of the same bowl. I have ways of separating or crating if need be. I’m very good with reading behavior and gaining trust.

With a last minute need for a cat sitter, Mariela to the rescue!! I was so nervous as I’d never used River before but upon my initial meeting with Mariela, I was immediately put at ease. She listened to my needs, was very attentive, and even my antisocial kitty came out to meet her! Mariela visited as promised, shared updates and status on my kitty, and shared fun pics of Jingles having a great time! I will definitely use Mariela for all future needs and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs you may have. Thank you, Mariela!! 😸

About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed. I also care for them by taking them for walks or finding the perfect new toy from an old volleyball, piece of rope, or other seemingly random objects that pets decide to take a liking to. Its interesting to see what they choose and of course there are limits there of things that should not be considered due to being hazardous due to being a choking hazard, but I'm all about finding new ways for them to have fun. I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.

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.

About: Animals always gravitate towards me. I love how animals are like children. So innocent and sweet. I would love to help out busy families by walking or sitting for your dog. 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. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. 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: Welcome! We are a dog loving family ready to welcome your pup! We are a family of 3 with 1 great pug that is dog friendly. Our son's are 15 and 17 and love to go for dog walks. We have lots of experience with dogs who have allergies and dogs who need a little bit more of a watchful eye when doors are open. We'd love to meet your doggy and take care of them. We have a 7-year-old pug who loves making new friends. There is always somebody home to watch them and your pup would never be alone. We are only able to accept dog friendly dogs who are comfortable around other dogs. We know it's hard to be away from your pup for long periods of time so we're always excited to share our experience with you by sending updated messages and videos as requested. We hope to be able to meet your pup soon. I'm currently working from home full time which allows me to make sure your pups are being watched at all times. Daily walks can be scheduled before, during or after work. In my home, I ensure the well-being of my pets by providing them with a comfortable living environment. I make sure that they have access to fresh food and water at all times. Regular exercise and playtimes are also provided.

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.

Omg Bailey is a life savior and took care care of my fur babies which are big dogs. A 3 year old mastiff and a 7 year old terrier diva which is a lot to handle on a daily basis but Bailey came through and took my very last minute needed booking for a dog sitter. She was so very accommodating with needing to plan out a day in advance for a sitter. She has wonderful children which thankfully tired out my BOTH of the fur babies. Thank you so much again Bailey for the kindness and mindfulness of taking care of my fur babies. Anyone , If you need a awesome sitter, go book Bailey. Right NOW : )

Jennifer (and her husband, Chris) were such wonderful caretakers to our dog, Odi! She was so receptive to texts and sent multiple pictures throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing. I honestly think he was a little bummed to come home after all the fun he had exploring, walking and playing with their sweet dog, Harper. I'm very grateful to have found them and Odi will be thrilled with another visit someday.

It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!

About: **Professional Animal Care Experience You Can Trust** As a zookeeper at the world-famous San Diego Zoo, I've dedicated my career to understanding and caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. My professional experience includes working with everything from delicate songbirds to massive rhinos, giving me unique insights into animal behavior, health, and wellness that I bring to every pet care situation. **Lifelong Animal Lover** Animals have been my passion since childhood. Throughout my life, I've been the proud caretaker of a diverse family of pets including dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and horses. This hands-on experience with domestic animals, combined with my professional work with exotic species like monkeys, giraffes, and rhinos has taught me to read animal body language, recognize stress signals, and adapt my approach to each pet's individual personality and needs. **Your Pet's Home Away From Home** My setup is perfect for your furry family members. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play and exercise, along with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love making new friends (with proper introductions, of course). Your pet will have lots of company- my husband works from home full-time, and I work part-time, ensuring there's almost always someone here to provide attention, care, and companionship. **Why Choose Me?** - Professional animal care background with exotic and domestic species - Experienced in reading animal behavior and providing individualized care - Safe, secure environment with proper facilities - Nearly constant supervision and companionship - Genuine love and respect for all animals I understand that leaving your beloved pet with someone new can be nerve-wracking. My goal is to provide the same level of professional, compassionate care I've given to animals throughout my career, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I work part time as a zookeeper at San Diego Zoo, I have all day Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays available as well as afternoons/evenings the rest of the week after 3pm. I have two friendly small dogs and live in a moderate sized house with a large fenced backyard. I can come to your house as well for check ins and walks.

About: I grew up with many pets and learned how to care for them exceptionally well. I understand giving them boundaries and having fun playing with them are both keys to great care. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as I am a very active person who loves exploring as much as your dog does! When I started pet sitting about 15 years ago I found I had a gift for helping dogs and cats who have a hard time adjusting when their owners are away. I also specialize in senior care as I’m willing to do anything needed to help your dog or cat be comfortable, eat well, and feel loved. I interact with each one as the unique individual they are. Let me know all about your pet’s personality and special needs so I can be the closest thing to having you at home as possible. I’m currently in school a couple days a week and have flexible work which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups during the week and on weekends. I only care for pets at your home. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule to be there when needed. I can also do overnight house and pet sitting if needed.

About: Hi!! I’m Samaya!! Growing up in a home full of pets, I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I have hands on experience with puppy training basics, including crate training, housebreaking, and leash guidance, as well as with senior dogs who require patience, mobility support, and medication administration. I take pride in maintaining a structured, safe, and comfortable environment tailored to each dog’s individual needs. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, providing consistent routines, or offering calm reassurance, I approach every pup with professionalism and genuine care. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is not only safe, but also receiving attentive, compassionate, and high quality care in their absence. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I am available full time to care for dogs. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, timely feedings, and plenty of playtime throughout the day. Having the flexibility to focus solely on pet care ensures that each dog in my care receives the structure, companionship, and supervision they need to feel safe and comfortable. I primarily care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable and can stay on their regular routine. This allows me to provide consistent care feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and any special instructions without disrupting their environment.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I learned how to wash dishes! I’ve walked dogs and puppies from 10lbs to larger dogs of 120lbs + When I spend time with animals, even in short amounts of times, special bonds are formed. Both parties just have a blast to be honest. I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian my whole life but as things have changed this is the closest thing to it. I hope you’ll choose me as your trusted sitter! I’m currently in the military Active Duty Shore. I do drop in visits around lunch time, and I’m up early in the morning for early morning walks and feedings before work starts on weekdays. After 4pm we play, go for walks, eat and play again. On weekends I’m available whenever. Sundays mornings are exceptions, being that I attend church. I only take care of crate trained animals in my home. Animals who are potty trained, and nothing bigger than 25lbs. I do live in a gated community with plenty of room to walk and run around outdoors. I also have a spacious living room and dining room area with no furniture. Spacious for small animals, their crates, and their zoomies! I do not have any pets or children. When it comes to clients homes, I clean when needed. And I stick to whatever schedule I’ve been given.

I also currently work at an animal shelter- first as an animal care specialist for cats, dogs, and exotics- now as a wildlife rehabilitator. I can also give vaccines and other medications as needed! My whole life is pet care! From work to home, animals are a constant part of my life, and I wouldn't want it any other way! I do work full-time, so might have to schedule visits between work hours! But can be pretty flexible most of the time. I have experience with handling cats and dogs of all personalities and temperaments due to my training at the animal shelter. I also have my own exotic animals that I take out for cuddle time and cage cleaning, so I can do the same for your exotics.

About: Hi there! I’ve had my own dogs and cats my whole life and have done pet sitting for over 10 years. I am also well-versed in dog training and have worked extensively with cats at a pet resort. They call me the animal whisperer. 😋 I am a freelance photographer so my schedule is very flexible. I am available on weekdays and weekends and you can guarantee you’ll get some nice photos of your furry friend while you’re away. I have a senior cat at home so I don’t allow other pets at my home but I’m available for drop ins and walk dates no problem.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to each pet as an individual. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. I take time to learn every pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m especially attentive to behavior and body language, which helps me respond quickly if a pet is stressed, anxious, or needs extra support. For dogs, that means consistent routines, safe walks, positive reinforcement, and plenty of engagement. For cats, it means respecting their space, maintaining a calm environment, and offering affection on their terms. Communication is also a big differentiator for me. I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so pet parents feel at ease. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing safety, cleanliness, and emotional well-being at all times. I work from home most days as a business owner. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet receives consistent care and attention. I’m very organized and reliable, so pets can stay on their normal routine, which helps reduce stress while their owners are away. Throughout the day, I make time for exercise, companionship, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing food and water, and monitoring each pet’s wellbeing. I also build in time for updates to pet parents, including photos and notes. Because I prioritize pet care, I’m flexible and able to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and focus on keeping the pet’s routine consistent. This includes feeding, walks, litter box maintenance, playtime, medication administration if needed, and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail if requested, and provide regular updates with photos and notes so pet parents feel confident and informed.

Honestly I would never leave my two dogs with anyone else. Kirsten always takes good care of my two boys as if they were her own. She always communicated and sent updates during their stay, which allowed me to relax and truly enjoy my trip knowing Zuko and Dante were in great hands. My dogs absolutely love Kirsten and her family. Whenever I drop them off, you can tell they feel comfortable and happy with her. Her dog Jack loves to play with them, and my dogs also adore spending time with her daughter. It really gives me peace of mind knowing they are treated like part of the family. This is my fourth or fifth time leaving them in Kirsten’s care, and every single time I feel completely confident that they are being well taken care of. I highly recommend Kirsten to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pets.

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!

Autumn was absolutely outstanding with my Pups! One of them was rescued off the street 4 months ago and is very fearful around new people and places, but he had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave by the time we had to pick them up. They loved her so much that I honestly felt a little sad about taking them away from her. I feel like that just highlights how phenomenal she was. 10/5 stars!! Hope to be back next time!

About: My name is Tony, better known as Philly. I am a professional dog trainer and also provide boarding. I have always had animals in the house growing up, however, dogs have always been the closest to my heart. I love going to the dog park, beach, even an empty field to play fetch. I have various enrichment activities that will keep your pup occupied while in my care, as well as, a number of cots for those relaxing moments. I have 2 personal pups; Stella, a 7yro Blue Pit and Bagheera, a 2yro Cane Corso. Both are trained and love to play. Any further questions, please simply ask! I do this as a profession so I'm home often. Day starts at 6a for the pups. Potty breaks, breakfast, digestion, play, leash training and decompress/relax. Throughout their stay we go on various walks (group and individual), depending on the weather, we will hit the park for some leg stretching or a simple 2-5mi walk, which is more for my exercise 😅 I have an enclosed backyard with tug toys, flirt sticks, water bowls and various other treats and chew toys. I have a huge garage with industrial fans and industrial exhaust to regulate the room. Theres also a thermostat for added piece of mind.

Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!

Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.
