“While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and well cared my dogs were. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dogs were relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been in great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Ashley is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“Whitney has been sitting my dog since she was a puppy, and now my dog is 4 yrs old. My dog loves her and the family, and is always very excited to be with them. I never worry about my dog because I know she's in the best care. I recommend Whitney 1000% if you want peace of mind while your pup is in the care of someone else. I absolutely love Whitney and her family and so does my dog. 10 out of 10 highly recommended!!!”

“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!”
“Bailey took great care of our two high-energy pups while we were out of the country! She handled my stress about leaving there somewhere new like a saint and we were so happy to see all the photos and updates. Would definitely bring our bananas dogs back to her and her sweet girlies anytime!”
“Pilar was awesome. She made my baby feel so at home he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures as well. I will book again with her.”

They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”

“We first met Mariela last year but ended up changing our plans when our cat got sick. Now, a year later, he is doing great and we need to head out of town. I reached back out and she remembered us! Because our cat needs an insulin shot twice daily, she came over to learn how to give the shot and then came another day to practice giving the shot. Mariela communicates well and always let us know when she was on her way. She did great and we headed out of town. She always checked in on time and sent us 4-5 pictures from every visit. I can’t express enough how much we all enjoyed the photos of our cat! She gave clear written reports from each visit. We already booked for this Saturday and will be booking another time soon. We highly recommend Mariela!”

This also minimizes stress instead of staying in a new environment
“Loren was able to make time to quickly pass by and make sure my cats can survive my absence for a week. Unfortunately I was cancelled on by a different sitter and Loren saved the day! Thank you.”
“Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!”

“We had a great experience with Kayla! She took very good care of Elka. She always checked in with cute pictures and made us feel comfortable being away from her. I was over all please with my experience and would recommend her to anyone! We would book again with Kayla!”
“I don’t know why Kathy doesn’t have any reviews because she’s the best! This is saying a lot for someone who doesn’t usually leave reviews. I booked her for a week while my family and I went on a vacation out of state. She is very honest, transparent, communicative, attentive, patient, and thorough with her care of our 3 cats. Not only did she make sure my cats are well-nourished and attended for, she also respected my house rules (for our privacy) which I greatly appreciate. Will definitely book her again. Thank you very much, Kathy!”

I’m able to work any day of the week as long as it’s 8-3pm. I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.

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.

About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.
“Loki seems like he had a great time at his daycare! He fell asleep as soon as he got in the car to go home so I know he got a good amount of playtime. Barbra responded in timely manner and was able to accommodate us with our last minute booking request. Great care and service!”
About: I am a pediatric physical therapist by day and aspiring stay at home dog mom all the time. I have two little furry monsters of my own, a rescue tripod and a pointer mix. I take them all over hiking, to the beach, to the park, and they would love the company of your little furry friends too! My dogs get free range of my house and yard when I’m home and a large open living area when I’m gone. I’ve had dogs all my life and love all of them, big or small. I’ve taught my dogs some tricks and continually work on reward based training for better behavior and obedience if you are interested in that during my time with your pup! Someone is usually home or in and out every day. We wake up early for breakfast and to play and go on walks. On weekends when we are home all day we like to go on adventures and the dogs have free reign of the yard all day, but we can also keep yours more contained if they are a flight risk! I have a fenced yard to play outside and we will go on walks in the neighborhood. My dogs like to meet new friends. At my house they are allowed on the furniture
“Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!”

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.

“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

I feel I can fit pet care into my weekly/daily routine because I’m free most of the time and Ive been looking for something productive too do that I’d actually enjoy I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment by following routines, paying close attention to each pet’s needs, and ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I handle pets gently, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their well-being, happiness, and safety at all times.
About: I have 35+ years of animal care experience. My animal care journey started with taking care of rabbits, chickens, horses, geese and my own pet fish, birds, gerbils, cats and dogs. I have a flexible schedule allowing for me to care for your pet day or night! I look forward to hearing from you and scheduling our first meet and greet, free of charge! I have two dogs in my home. They have 24/7 access to the fenced in yard for potty breaks and play time. I take boarders only after a meet and greet with my personal dogs to ensure a good fit for all!
About: I've had pets all my life. I also have extensive experience working in emergency animal hospitals, and at the San Diego Humane Society in the humane law dept. This girl has all the love, skills, and knowledge to take care of your fur or scale babies. I recently lost my beloved senior dog, and would love to take care of a family member/ pet to give love and care to other pets. Currently and unfortunately, I now only have a sweet fat little hamster so my availability has opened up. I love all animals so any type you have I'd be happy to help.
About: I have been an owner of both cats and dogs all my life. 2 years ago I started pet sitting for friends and family. I love keeping pets company while their families are away. I’m comfortable taking walks, and giving medicine. I’m currently on summer break which allows me a completely open schedule. I normally go to the gym in the morning then come straight home. Friends may stop by but don’t stay for too long. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly neighbor hood with an open patch of grass. My house has lots of space, A/C and anything else a pet may need.
About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was a baby, and they've always been a huge part of my life! Over the years, I've cared for 3 cats, 2 dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, so I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I love getting to know each one individually. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, giving medication, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I'm dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. Animals bring so much joy to our lives, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply companionship, I'll make sure they receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'm happy to follow their schedule to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every pet as if it were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions you provide. In your home, I will respect your space while ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they need. Whether it's playtime, walks, medication, or extra cuddles, I'm committed to providing reliable and loving care. With years of experience caring for cats, dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, I'm comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities.
About: For the past 14 years, my world revolved around my dog, Zuri. She recently passed away, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog into my life just yet, I realized how much I miss spending time with them. Caring for dogs has never felt like work to me. I’m naturally attentive, patient, and deeply attuned to animals. I tend to notice the little things; when a dog needs a slower pace, extra reassurance, more water, a sniff break, or simply someone calm to help them feel safe. Zuri taught me that every walk is the highlight of a dog’s day, not just another task to check off a list. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’ll care for them with the same love, presence, and respect I gave my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is safe, understood, and genuinely loved while we’re together. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications when needed, and understanding that every dog has their own personality, pace, and emotional needs. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy being active, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Walking has been an important part of my own life for years, and after losing my beloved dog of 14 years a few months ago, spending time with dogs has become something that brings me joy and healing. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision because I know what it’s feels like to love a dog like family. I always prioritize safety by following your dog’s routine, using secure leash handling, paying close attention to their body language, and adapting to their individual personality and energy level. Whether your dog is playful, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs most of my life whether it be the family pets or friends, neighbors or my own pets. I also am good with reptiles! I am about to start a new job working evenings but I have plenty of availability during the day and weekends. I’m never too busy to play with pets! We have 2 dogs and 2 cats in our home currently. One of our dogs in both blind and deaf so bringing in a new animal is a little tricky but I am more than happy to also take care of your baby in your home!
About: I am a dog-mom who loves caring for pets like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking to their normal routine. I also have experience with senior dogs and can give supplements or medications when needed. Additionally, I have experience with puppies too since I raised my fur baby since she was only 8 weeks old. I work part time, so I have several days off during the week to focus on pet care. I enjoy making animals part of my daily routine and giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. Safety and comfort are important to me. I live in a condo with a balcony, so pets get regular supervised walks since there’s no yard. I do have a baby at home, so I’m very mindful about keeping the environment gentle, clean, and well supervised. In a client’s home, I follow your routine and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for.

“While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and well cared my dogs were. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dogs were relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been in great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Ashley is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“What a great family. I took Jackson there for the first time, and he was so loved by everyone. I truly appreciate it when a sitter sends videos and updates and this family made sure they did. I will definitely be rebooking with this family time and time again.”
“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!”
“Bailey took great care of our two high-energy pups while we were out of the country! She handled my stress about leaving there somewhere new like a saint and we were so happy to see all the photos and updates. Would definitely bring our bananas dogs back to her and her sweet girlies anytime!”
“My Mia baby had a blast , they were so patient and comforting with her! She had a blast !!! Loved the updates and pictures . Would definitely recommend and rebook again!!!!Thank you so much !!!!!”
“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 :)”
“Both my dogs love their time with Adriana and Cameron. It makes being away a little easier knowing they are getting love and care like I would give them. I love all the photos and videos I get so I can check in on the dogs! Would recommend to anyone with puppies in the San Diego area!”
“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“Jason was great with our dog Max. He sent us picture updates and gave Max bath, even though he didn’t have to. At the end he sent Max home with a nice doggy treat bag. Jason went above and beyond and treated our dog Max like his own. I highly recommend Jason for dog boarding services.”
“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.”
“Trent and his wife took great care of my dog. They even sent me photos of her playing with their dogs. She came back spent and couldn’t get her off her bed. LOL 🤣 A tired dog is a happy dog. LOL 🤣”
“Sarah and Shelby were awesome! Definitely recommend for any of your pet’s services. They took in our 8 month old puppy with short notice for an overnight stay. We were in town from out of state to visit family and this was our dogs first stay away from home. We were updated with pleasant photos throughout the night and they were willing to keep her until noon the next day. Their dogs Ziggy and Titan were very friendly and played well together. We will be back!”
“Mayank and Shritu are truly wonderful pet caregivers! This was our first time using Rover, and we were a little nervous at first. We chose them based on their many positive reviews—and we’re so happy we did. They were amazing! They sent us daily photos and videos of Blue, which really put us at ease. Knowing he was having fun with other dogs and receiving so much love made all the difference. Thank you so much, Mayank and Shritu!”
“Nate and Ray were MORE than accommodating to my 2 dogs: swimming, two dog parks, cuddling, comfy dog beds, etc... They also sent photos and videos regularly so I could see how much fun they were having and that they were safe. I would definitely use them again.”
