“I'm so happy I found Lori! She's responsive and proactive with communication, and the doggos loved her. She sent pictures and videos of playtime and answered all my questions and concerns about their safety during the heat wave that came through the area. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Diana’s care. This is the first time I left my dog overnight with someone and I have had my dog nine years. Now I can go places that don’t accept dogs and I feel comfortable leaving him behind.”
“Cristina was the best sitter I have had for Valentina! She was extremely communicative and made me feel that Valentina was safe throughout her whole stay. I had several delays to my trip and Cristina was super flexible, allowing Valentina to stay longer than expected. We appreciated this so much. Book with Cristina, she is awesome!”
“Hi awesome Claudia & Cris! Your dogs are just so.. adorable!!🥰😊 Thanks so much for being there at such very short notice. Your sharing videos of Joby plainly sees he is having a wonderful time. We could see him smiling all around. Yessssss! I totally would recommend Claudia & Cris to care for your fur baby. We are one happy customer and will most definitely be back for future times ahead.😁😂😂”
“Araceli always takes wonderful care of our dog Punky! She is extremely reliable, communicative, and professional, and Punky is always so excited to spent time there. Can't recommend highly enough!!”
“Very friendly and great communication. Provided pics of my puppy as happy as can be at the park. Provided information about my puppies stay overnight; what she ate, how she slept, and if she would most likely need to potty soon. Will for sure use her services again. Thank you.”
“Monique was wonderful with caring for our English bulldog who needed a lot of attention. She did far & beyond our expectations. This is our first experience leaving our dog with someone else & she made us comfortable & confident. Regular communication & updates & pictures helped a lot. We will definitely use her again!”
“Honestly, from the moment we met during the consultation we were immediately at ease. My pup had plenty of love while we were gone ( 13 days) and was actually sad when she came home - we think from missing Agueda! We couldn’t be happier with the care she received and if you are hesitating to book, don’t! She is great!”
“I am thrilled to have found Stacy to care for my dog Allie while I was out of town. Allie is very shy, but she took to Stacy immediately. I really liked the fact that Stacy came to my house prior to my trip to meet Allie, and then a few days later I took Allie to Stacy's house to let her get the feel of a new environment, plus other pups to play with. Stacy kept us posted daily about how she was doing, cute notes and pictures. It looked and sounded like Allie had made herself at home. We adopted Allie almost three years ago from Frosted Faces and she can be a bit shy and quirky. Maybe because she's a senior I'm an overanxious, overprotective dog mom. I appreciated that Stacy understood my feelings and after spending some time with her I felt very comfortable and assured that Allie was going to be in good, loving hands. Stacy is definitely my go-to dog sitter for any future need. Thank you Stacy, you're the best.”
“Jesus and his wife are fantastic! They were super accommodating and our dog loved hanging out with their family for the weekend. I was also super shocked to see her not pulling when they went on a walk in one of the videos they shared. Jesus is truly a dog whisperer! We found our future home away from home for our pup and we would not hesitate to recommend them!”
“Holger and his wife were amazing! This is the first time away from our pup and they made me feel so comfortable. I received pictures daily and did not have to worry about Kali. Thank you!! 5 STARS!”
“Jessica did an excellent job caring for my two pups, especially after a very last minute request when my other sitter fell through. She was an excellent communicator, made pick up and drop off easy, and sent me pictures throughout her time with the pups.”
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“We left our much-loved standard poodle, Murray with Melanie for a week that ended yesterday. She took excellent care of Murray and provided a few photos during his stay. We could see in the photos he was healthy and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog in her care. She has a very sweet dog who accepted Murray right into the mix and they got along well. She walked Murray daily and followed my instructions for feed and care. We were very pleased with everything she did. I highly recommend Melanie.”
“I could not be more pleased!! Savannah is a gem! I’m a worrier and Savannah put me at ease and I could tell she cared for our dogs like they were her own. My dog isn’t much for people and he was giving Savannah hugs on his way out. He didn’t want to leave! Hannah was beyond flexible with our flight delays and I greatly appreciated it!! As long as Savannah is willing to accept us as client again I don’t see myself trusting anyone else.”
“Robin and Rahn completely put my mind at ease when I had to leave my little guy with a sitter overnight for the first time. The space and yard they provide is wonderful, and clearly enjoyed and appreciated by the dogs. My favorite part is that they have a super chill vibe! I know at least my dog appreciates that. I trust them completely and have already booked them again for another trip. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that wants a loving and attentive home for your dogs!”
“Cerita is my go to dog and cat sitter. She treats all of my fur babies with so much love and makes them feel completely at home. I especially appreciate the extra care she gives my senior cat, she’s very attentive when it comes to giving him his insulin.”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I've been a cat lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and today I share my home with three cats, a dog, and a rabbit, so caring for animals is simply part of my everyday life. I have experience with cats of all ages, from tiny kittens to seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society's Kitten Nursery, where I helped care for young kittens who needed extra attention and socialization. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or a professional napper, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I can stop by to feed, refresh water, scoop litter boxes, administer lots of pets (if they're interested!), play, and make sure they have company while you're away. I'm also happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I'll care for your cats as if they were my own—with patience, attention, and plenty of love.
About: Cats are my chosen family. My whole life I’ve been surrounded by them and I enjoy getting to understand each and every one of them. I enjoy being cuddled with and ignored by them. I really just love their individualism and all the quirks each kitty has. I have experience with all ages and large families 🐱
“Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️”
“Caroline was very sweet and attentive with my kitten, Strider! She was communicative and sent me lots of photos throughout the week. This was the first time I was leaving him and I was, of course, nervous, but when I got back he was happy, healthy, and relaxed. Thanks, Caroline! :)”
“She communicates well and sends me pictures. Sends updates too as it’s the first time my cat stayed away from home. There are other cats there and they all seemed friendly.”
“My Budgies (Bruce and Ru) just love visits from Marie when I’m away from home. I’m so happy that she’s willing to take the time to “hang out” with them and she always updates me with videos and pics. She’s the best and Bruce and Ru totally agree!”
“the most understanding + patient dog sitter we’ve ever encountered. she’s very careful + treats our puppy as though he belongs to her. not only does she go above + beyond with her service, but also goes above + beyond with her attention to detail when it comes to her reports while he’s under her care.”
About: My favorite animal are felines. They’re so smart, loving and hilariously entertaining by just being them. I would love to care for any and all cats. I have an almost 2-year-old named Pepe Le Paw and it is one of the most fulfilling things I have taken part of to be his mama.
“Belinda watched my cat, Bella, for about 3 weeks and she did fantastic! Bella warmed up to her right away. Belinda was great about sending photos and making sure Bella’s food, water, and litter were taken care of. It made me feel much better knowing that there was such a caring person looking after my girl. I’d be happy to book her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, including pets belonging to friends, family, and others who have trusted me with their care. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and each owner’s specific instructions. I’m also comfortable with different personalities, from energetic pets who love adventure and playtime to quieter pets who simply want companionship and a cozy place to relax. Most importantly, I understand that pets are family. When you trust me with yours, I want you to feel confident that they’re receiving the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own.
About: I provide attentive, loving cat care and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and boundaries. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers their personal space, I take time to earn their trust and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions, including administering medications and supporting recovery after illness or surgery. I also keep litter boxes clean, fresh water available, and make sure your cat gets the care, patience, and respect they deserve.
About: Cats have held a special place in my heart for the past 12 years, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. My wife and I recently said goodbye to our beloved senior cat after many wonderful years together. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, consistency, compassion, and attentive care, especially as pets grow older. In addition to caring for our own cat, we’ve welcomed foster cats into our home for weeks at a time, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they waited for their forever families. I’ve also cared for the cats of family and friends, making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime if they want it, and plenty of affection on their own terms. If medication is part of your cat’s routine, I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll be your cat’s primary caregiver and will provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your feline family member is doing. My wife is also a wonderful animal lover who enjoys giving cats extra affection and attention, creating a warm and welcoming home environment. If your cat prefers a quieter setting, we have a secure, private room where they can relax and have their own space away from our beagles. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or simply enjoys a peaceful nap, we’ll do everything we can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
“Gao was an amazing fit for my need(s) for BearBear. Reading her profile was the main reason I selected her. She was very knowledgeable, passionate, and handled BearBear with the care he needed; above and beyond (medicine doses, nail trim, etc.). Her communication, availability and empathy was exactly what I needed. Thank you!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for cats and my dedication to providing reliable, attentive care. I have been caring for pets, including cats, since I was 12 years old. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as the pets of friends and family members, which has taught me how to understand and adapt to each cat’s unique personality and needs. I am patient and attentive to each cat’s individual needs. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I follow routines carefully, keep litter boxes clean, make sure food and water are always fresh, and provide affection and playtime when wanted. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your cat is receiving the best care possible. I will treat your cat with the same love and care that I give to my own pet.
About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.

“Tiancai was wonderful! She helped me with Misha while we were visiting family in San Diego for my Uncle's services. I needed care on the spot, she was available and it worked out great. Tiancai's communication on Misha during her care was awesome and reassuring. Very sweet puppy sitter.”
“Our small puppy felt right at home here, and Maria was very accommodating. Highly recommend her especially if you have smaller dogs. Her dog seemed very friendly and welcoming to our pup. Thank you for working and communicating with us during his stay!”
“My dog was happy to be staying with Enrique . He was amazing taking care of chucky for me . Will be coming back to him . Very good at communicating . 5/5 * thanks ! :)”
“Agueda was a wonderful sitter and took great care of my pup! She sent updates and photos during the stay. My dog seemed relaxed and comfortable in her space. I absolutely recommend her and hope to see her again in the future!”
“I recommend Lori as a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! My dog is strong and energetic, and Lori knew how to manage him, and was very kind and patient. She gave him lots of needed attention and kept me updated. I appreciate Lori so much for making me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands!”
“PeeP really seemed to enjoy his stay with Holger. We stayed in fairly recent contact and although PeeP tends to have separation anxiety. He showed no signs of it once we left.. I can certainly recommend Holger for any ones fur baby.”
About: I've loved and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I'm naturally curious about them and believe there is no such thing as a bad dog. I am working toward becoming a canine trainer and am currently under apprenticeship. Caring for dogs is very rewarding for me and a true passion of mine. My friends and family have sought me out for advice and to care for their pets and I would love the opportunity to care for yours as well. I have a flexible work schedule and am available for boarding 7 nights per week and for sitting every day. I can also pick up and drop off for an additional fee. I have a large fenced back yard (about 1/8 of an acre), with mixed concrete, dirt with shade. Your pup will be able to play inside and out, and will find it hard not to get along with my 8 year old Labradoodle, Maui.
“I loved Melinda, I don't trust anybody with my dog he is the closest thing I have to a child and she treated him as such. Normally people are scared of pit bulls but she welcomed him with open arms. I'd recommend her to any and everyone. Nice house, she walks them, takes pics, let you bring your own food and toys and does meet and greets and will tell you honestly, if she cannot watch your dog. Me and benny both give 4 thumbs up!”
About: Hi! My name is Diana. I am a caring and responsible pet lover living in San Diego. I have experience caring for my own dog and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable. Your pet will receive lots of attention, love, and care in a calm home environment. I welcome small and friendly dogs and will treat them like family. I am home most of the time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I am available on both weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment for pets. I have a fenced yard and always supervise pets carefully. I follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. If pets need to be separated for safety or comfort, I have enough space to keep them in separate rooms.
“Monique was wonderful! I had a last minute (less than 12 hours) cancellation from my primary dog sitter and Monique was quick to respond. I couldn’t be more grateful. The photos she shared of my dog were lovely and it was clear my pup felt immediately safe and comfortable in her space. I would recommend her 100x!!”
“Our 4 fur babies enjoyed staying with Stacy. They came home tired and happy from a busy day. Stacy loves animals and is a great sitter. We would use her services again.”
About: My two dogs are husky/malamute mixed who love having company. They are pretty chill, but can be energetic and playful with dogs of literally all sizes and personalities. I’m a real estate agent and work from home, but wake up very early! We cannot do pickups after 7p so anything late needs to be scheduled next day unless confirmed prior to booking. My husband is also home most of the time. I don’t leave my own dog home for more than 4 hours (ever) by himself but also have a doggie door (when I’m home only), and a large home with hard floors for the pups to roam. I have a fenced yard but keep my dog inside when I’m not at home. I’ve got a doggie cam and check in (and talk) to my dog frequently if I have to be gone!
About: As a full-time retired “dog grandpa,” I’ve spent over 50 years caring for dogs of every shape, size, and personality. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pups just like my own. I currently share my home with a friendly spaniel mix who loves making new friends and helps create a warm, social atmosphere for visiting dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and happiest when I’m surrounded by wagging tails. From energetic youngsters to sweet seniors, I know how to keep each dog comfortable, confident, and cared for. Now that I’m fully retired, caring for pets has become one of the most enjoyable parts of my day. I’m home most of the time, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, and peaceful company throughout the day. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, and my open schedule allows me to keep your pet’s routine steady morning strolls, afternoon cuddles, or extra playtime, whatever they need. My home is set up with pets in mind. I have a secure fenced backyard with a large pet door so dogs can safely go in and out for fresh air and play. My spaniel mix is friendly and loves having canine company. We take daily walks to nearby parks, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and stretching those legs. Inside the house, pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel comfortable and yes, that includes the furniture. I provide a calm, supervised, and cozy environment, and I’m experienced with crates, medications, special diets, and supporting dogs with different energy levels or routines. Your dog will be treated like a cherished family member with all the gentle attention, structure, and warmth you’d expect from a loving retired grandpa.
“Rebecca was a great dog sitter! I dropped off my dog with her for the day while I was out of town and she was super communicative and incredibly accommodating. My dog came home happy and tired after a great day with her!”
About: Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve spent years caring for the dogs of family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine and needs. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Dalmatians and have spent the past eight years raising two friendly, goofy, and well-socialized rescue beagles with my wife. Together we have also fostered rescue dogs for weeks at a time until they found their forever home. As your sitter, I will be your dog’s primary caregiver. I’ll personally handle walks, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine, energy level, and personality, and I’ll make every effort to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. My wife is also a tremendous animal lover who enjoys spending time with every pet she meets, so your dog will benefit from being in a home with two people who genuinely love animals. While I’ll be responsible for all of your pet’s care, they’ll also receive extra affection and companionship throughout their stay. Our home includes a fully fenced backyard patio, and we live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of green space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and respect that we’d want for our own. I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule, typically on East Coast business hours. Most weekdays, I’m available beginning around 2:00 PM for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, potty breaks, and other pet care needs. On days with a lighter meeting schedule, I’m often able to stop by earlier in the day for a walk or visit before returning to work. I occasionally work onsite once a week, but I typically leave the office between 2:00 and 2:30 PM, allowing me to be available for afternoon and evening care. For boarding and in-home pet sitting, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I will be your pet’s primary caregiver, and because my wife works full-time from home, there is almost always someone at our home to provide companionship, supervision, and peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Before every booking, I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or ours, I’ll be your pet’s primary caregiver. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, and lots of affection and attention. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Our home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly. We have a securely fenced backyard patio and two friendly, well-socialized beagles who enjoy the company of other dogs. For cats or pets that prefer a quieter environment, we also have a secure private room where they can relax in their own space away from our dogs if needed. I understand that every pet is unique. Some love adventure and play, while others simply want a calm environment and a predictable routine. I’ll always respect your pet’s individual personality and comfort level and care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention that I give my own animals. For the health and safety of all pets in our home, I ask that visiting dogs and cats be up to date on their vaccinations and flea/tick prevention.
“Dama was such a wonderful dog sitter, she was so communicative and I felt completely comfortable leaving our high strung Belgian boy with her while we enjoyed days out in San Diego (visited from Northern Nevada). Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a stay at home mom providing a safe, comfortable, and attentive home environment for dogs while their families are away. Our home is set up with dogs in mind, including a large, fully enclosed .25 acre backyard where they can get fresh air, play, and explore safely. We also have Luna, our friendly 7 year old dog, who enjoys the company of other dogs and can provide companionship for pups who are comfortable around other dogs. I’ve had dogs most of my life and have experience caring for dogs through all stages of life. I previously had my dog Cal from puppyhood through his battle with cancer, which taught me the importance of patience, medication management, special care, and paying attention to each dog’s individual needs. Because I’m home full time, your dog will have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and won’t be left alone for long periods. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’ll work to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule and preferences. Whether your dog loves playing in the yard, going on walks, relaxing at home, or simply having someone nearby, I’d love the opportunity to care for them. I’ll treat your pet like they are part of our family while making sure you receive updates and feel confident they are safe and happy.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. When I was active duty I spent a lot of time watching other service members pets. I would help any time they needed! I trained my own dogs and keep their activity levels up! I am doing school online so I have a VERY flexible schedule! I’m also active so I can do lots of walks and potty breaks! Patience it key! I believe all dogs are incredibly smart they just need a second to understand! Food motivation is always a good trick to help get them on the right track!
About: Although I have no official skills and training...yet, but I grew up caring for animals. For 18 years I lived on a small farm in Michigan where we raised chickens, rabbits, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. These animals were my beloved pets and would get shown at the county fair every summer. Since moving away I have accumulated three cats of my own. As I continue to figure things out and gain experience I can promise that all pets under my care will be well cared for, loved, and that all owners will receive top notch communication. I have just separated from the Navy and am unable to get another job due to some traveling I have planned over the next couple months. I am free all day pretty much any day! I do not offer sitting or boarding in my home due to my cats not appreciating outsiders, but I am more than happy to go to your house and do whatever is needed!
About: Ever since I was young, my love for animals has been unwavering, and that passion continues to define me as an adult. I've always been the go-to person among my family and friends whenever they needed a pet sitter or extra assistance. It wasn't until recently, when a friend referred me to Rover, that I decided to officially extend my help beyond my immediate circle. I’m available to care for pets Monday through Sunday with enough advance notice to plan around my schedule and personal responsibilities. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s care fits comfortably into both your schedule and mine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules.
About: Having 4+ years of volunteering at my animal shelter has given me the experience to handle various kinds of dogs and their personality traits. I primarily bring them out in the play yards to get their daily exercise so to do this outside the shelter would be like my ideal day of never ending fun. On my free-time I like to research dog breeds and learn anything dog-related. I also love to run my dog blog on instagram. I would like to commit at least 3 days of full-time availability. Nighttime hours (6-11PM) is probably my preferred time because I'm almost always available then. Dogs deserve the exercise and love they need while their owners are away and I'll do my best to make make sure they get it. My house-sitting routine is set to ensure your pet receives consistent, attentive care throughout the day. On weekdays, I provide morning care before heading to work (which begins at 8:00 AM in Chula Vista). Depending on my route, I’m typically available again between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. After work, I return to spend a few hours feeding, caring for, and giving your pet plenty of attention. I then briefly check in on my own pets before coming back to your home for the evening and overnight care. On weekends, I have greater flexibility. I am available every Saturday and every other Sunday, allowing me to dedicate even more time and attention to your pet’s needs. Caring for your pet is both a joy and a responsibility I take seriously. While you’re away, they’ll be treated like one of my own—with lots of love, attention, and care. I like to follow a detailed care sheet outlining your pet’s usual routine so I can mirror it as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable and at ease in your absence. You can also expect plenty of adorable updates, and I’m always available if you or I have any questions along the way.
About: I have personal experience with my own dogs, and also experience with taking care of other dogs. Don't mind any type of dog and no matter the size I love dogs, and I make sure I do my job right. I love buying those for the dogs and yummy treats for them. don't mind taking them on walks. willing to baby sit dogs, but will not be able to take care of them in my own home, but don't mind babysitting them in your home. I up for any challenge (dog) I have a big dog of my own and she does get very tedious and messy but she is a little bundle of joy. I would love pet sitting for you, give me a call. I always find time to care for my pets and surely will do the same for yours. I always have a set schedule as most do and will always work with that to continue proper care. I always ensure nothing is at their reach to not harm themselves or cause any mess. Always ensure they have a set area for their things.
About: I love dogs! I have always had dogs. I help walk them, feed them(dry food, wet food, treats). I’ve also given medication for one of my dogs with food! I play with them, give them a lot of love and attention. When my pets were younger, we potty trained them and taught them different skills such as sit, lay down, etc. I am currently a sophomore in college. I have 1 class Monday-Thursday, so my schedule for the most part is pretty open. However, I can do anytime after 8:30 on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Just let me know ahead of time what time works best for you on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. In my home, I have a grass back yard with a fence from coyotes where my dogs play and lay down in the grass. My cats like to lay in the grass too. In the front yard, we have a gate so the dogs don’t run out. In the front yard is turf where the dogs can use the bathroom or play.
About: Hi! I’m a Zoology student working toward becoming a veterinarian, as well as a Military Conservation Agent veteran with hands-on animal care experience. I’m especially comfortable with dogs that need a little extra attention, including large breeds, anxious or reactive dogs, senior dogs, and pets recovering from medical procedures. I have dog training experience and am confident handling dogs with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My animal experience also includes working with wildlife such as bears, large cats, wolves, and coyotes, including emergency animal care and working alongside veterinarians. For pets with medical needs, I can administer medications, follow veterinary care instructions, monitor recovery, and watch closely for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall condition. I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, so I may be able to accommodate short-notice bookings when other sitters are unavailable without meet & greet. My priority is always to keep your dog safe, comfortable, calm, and well cared for while giving you regular updates and peace of mind. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule outside of my lab sessions. I’m available for early mornings, evenings, and most daytime hours, and I can often adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I may also be available for last-minute or short-notice bookings when my schedule allows. I have professional experience handling high-drive, reactive, and challenging animals, including wolfdogs and wildlife. I’m confident working with strong breeds and know how to handle them safely, calmly, and with good judgment. I always respect your home, property, and your pet’s routine. During walks and stays, I use safe handling techniques and closely monitor your dog’s behavior and condition. I can also provide basic first aid, administer medications as instructed, and support established training or behavior routines when needed.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old. Not only have I been responsible for my own family pets, but I’ve also helped care for the pets of friends and family members over the years. These experiences have taught me the importance of being reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m committed to following your pet’s routine, providing plenty of attention and care, and maintaining a safe environment. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.I will treat your pets with the same care and affection that I give my own. I’m available all day Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, I’m available after 1:00 PM. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Safety is a nonnegotiable and I will do everything I can to keep your pet safe. When it comes to instructions for your animal, I will ask as many questions as I can do to ensure everything is planned out to your liking. When it comes to trust with animals I will give them all the space they need to get use to me.
“One of our dogs is very wary of new people and takes a long time to warm up to them. Not with Kali. She met him once before we left on vacation. Her first walk it took him 2 blocks to chill out. After that he was so stoked to see her and leave the house with her. Dogs came back so happy and fully exercised. Highly recommend. Will 100% use her again.”

About: I’ve had a fair share of pets in my past. I once had a pug for 2 weeks and with that I taught him how to sit. I enjoy exercising so if your dog has a lot of energy I will gladly take them to the park or if you dog just wants to walk I can do that too. If they want to relax I can do that too:) ps. I don’t know how to work my availability on the app but on Tue/Thu im busy 1-5pm, Wed 5-9pm, Sat 6-9am I can work around my schedule, I’m very flexible about that. As long as we communicate everything can work. Walking or running with the pet also helps me stay fit :) I have a house with a big back yard. I would have an area where their food would be. (Let me know what food your pet likes or please provide the food if needed)
About: I’ve lived and cared for animals since I was young. My dad is a veterinarian, so I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life! I had my dog for 15 beautiful years and went through all the ups and downs of a dog parent. I administered her medication and provided as many accommodations and love she needed. Currently, I have one medium haired cat who is shy but incredibly sweet and friendly. I’ve had him since he was a kitten and has adjusted to our own little routine. I know how difficult it can be to leave a furry friend behind, so I’m here to relieve any stress you may have and provide as much comfort and care to your loved one! I currently work part-time so I have a flexible schedule. I’m a grad student, so if I’m not at work or class, I’m usually home hanging out with my cat :) My cat is very low maintenance and is used to dogs but if you prefer for him to be separated from your furry friend I can definitely make sure they are in different rooms! My apartment is pet friendly and has a grass area right upfront as well as a fenced yard they can go out to!
“Vanessa is absolutely amazing. She is extremely accommodating and has not once said no to helping me out even if it’s a few hours before. She takes the best care of my puppy Lucy and always goes above and beyond for her walks as well as sending me the cutest pictures during. I highly recommend her to anyone nearby!!!!”
About: I go beyond just basic pet sitting! With experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique personality. I have a 15-year-old dog and cat of my own, both in great health, so I know the extra attention seniors need to stay active and comfortable. Whether it's training, administering medication, or simply keeping them cozy, I make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away! Pet care is a priority in my daily routine! I make sure to set aside time each day for feeding, playtime, and cleaning, with a flexible schedule to accommodate any specific needs your pet might have. Whether it's a daily walk, administering medication, or just spending quality time with your pet, I always ensure they get the attention they need, whenever it works best for you and them! Having pets of my own, I create a safe and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and secure. I pet-proof areas to prevent accidents, and I keep a clean, calm space where pets can play or nap as they like. For in-home care, I follow your pet’s routine to minimize stress, ensuring they’re fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I take extra precautions with any medications or special needs and provide regular updates to keep you informed. Whether it’s at your home or mine, I treat your pet like family, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness.
About: I’m a longtime pet owner and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Having cared for my own dogs and cats over the years, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time in childcare, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable and happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent and comfortable. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions, while making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m respectful of your home, dependable, and will keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.

“I'm so happy I found Lori! She's responsive and proactive with communication, and the doggos loved her. She sent pictures and videos of playtime and answered all my questions and concerns about their safety during the heat wave that came through the area. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Monique was wonderful with caring for our English bulldog who needed a lot of attention. She did far & beyond our expectations. This is our first experience leaving our dog with someone else & she made us comfortable & confident. Regular communication & updates & pictures helped a lot. We will definitely use her again!”
“I am thrilled to have found Stacy to care for my dog Allie while I was out of town. Allie is very shy, but she took to Stacy immediately. I really liked the fact that Stacy came to my house prior to my trip to meet Allie, and then a few days later I took Allie to Stacy's house to let her get the feel of a new environment, plus other pups to play with. Stacy kept us posted daily about how she was doing, cute notes and pictures. It looked and sounded like Allie had made herself at home. We adopted Allie almost three years ago from Frosted Faces and she can be a bit shy and quirky. Maybe because she's a senior I'm an overanxious, overprotective dog mom. I appreciated that Stacy understood my feelings and after spending some time with her I felt very comfortable and assured that Allie was going to be in good, loving hands. Stacy is definitely my go-to dog sitter for any future need. Thank you Stacy, you're the best.”
“Jesus and his wife are fantastic! They were super accommodating and our dog loved hanging out with their family for the weekend. I was also super shocked to see her not pulling when they went on a walk in one of the videos they shared. Jesus is truly a dog whisperer! We found our future home away from home for our pup and we would not hesitate to recommend them!”
“Holger and his wife were amazing! This is the first time away from our pup and they made me feel so comfortable. I received pictures daily and did not have to worry about Kali. Thank you!! 5 STARS!”
“Jessica did an excellent job caring for my two pups, especially after a very last minute request when my other sitter fell through. She was an excellent communicator, made pick up and drop off easy, and sent me pictures throughout her time with the pups.”
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“We left our much-loved standard poodle, Murray with Melanie for a week that ended yesterday. She took excellent care of Murray and provided a few photos during his stay. We could see in the photos he was healthy and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog in her care. She has a very sweet dog who accepted Murray right into the mix and they got along well. She walked Murray daily and followed my instructions for feed and care. We were very pleased with everything she did. I highly recommend Melanie.”
“I could not be more pleased!! Savannah is a gem! I’m a worrier and Savannah put me at ease and I could tell she cared for our dogs like they were her own. My dog isn’t much for people and he was giving Savannah hugs on his way out. He didn’t want to leave! Hannah was beyond flexible with our flight delays and I greatly appreciated it!! As long as Savannah is willing to accept us as client again I don’t see myself trusting anyone else.”
“Cerita is my go to dog and cat sitter. She treats all of my fur babies with so much love and makes them feel completely at home. I especially appreciate the extra care she gives my senior cat, she’s very attentive when it comes to giving him his insulin.”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Holly is an amazing communicator and took such good care of my Walter!! Drop off/pickup was a breeze and she sent such cute photos and updates. I felt so at ease knowing he was in kind hands, 10/10 would recommend!”
“Shane and Chris were absolutely amazing! I had to book them last minute after another sitter canceled, and I’m so grateful I found them. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive. You can tell they take their responsibility seriously and genuinely care about the dogs in their care. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. They treated my dog like their own and went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially with such a last-minute booking. I will absolutely be booking with Shane and Chris again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitters!”
“Desteny took amazing care of King when I had to go out of town. She sent photos of him every day, and he looked calm and happy in every single one. She was accommodating of his needs, and was willing to give him the same routine and structure that he has at home. I appreciate her willingness to provide boarding for King despite my request being short notice. Will definitely board with her next time!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better care for our Dobermans. Plenty updated and photos, dogs has lots of activities and love from Monica and her husband. Highly recommended! 🥰”
About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young. Ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed walking my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and many different breeds I am available to walk, board, or visit your dog all days of the week. I prefer to be notified at least a day in advance so I can properly schedule and prepare to care for your dog. I have a large backyard with clear space for the dogs to around and play. There is open space in the living room for dogs to relax, with room for dog beds or anything else they arrive with. This space is gated off from the rest of the house for safety. There’s enough room to separate the dogs from one another if they need space.
