“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Araceli was fantastic watching Roxy and Sushi! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, so I always knew how they were doing. Both pups clearly had the best time and came home happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”

“Izac is the man!!!! Saved the day for me. I had left my dog with another sitter that I was not stoked on. He went out of his way to go pick up my dog, took great of him, sent me tons of pictures, took him in walks. My dog was happy when I picked him up. Thanks Izac!!!”
“Just picked up my pup from Robin & Rahn. They sent daily pics and videos and it was obvious that Freddie loved his stay with them. I felt so comfortable leaving him with them and will use their services again, if I need too.”
“Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!”

“This is the second time Kalista has sat for my 2 cats (this time while I've been on vacation overseas). I was able to rest easy knowing she takes wonderful care of them. She even swept/vacuumed on her last day which was unexpected and TOTALLY appreciated :) I can't recommend her enough!”
“Joanne is an angel! I’ve met with her before her pet drop ins started and felt immediately at ease- like we’ve known each other for a long time. My pup, Haku adored her! Joanne took good care of him when we’re away and communicates everything with me. She carefully follows instructions and did everything as told with respect! I would definitely book with her service again! She deserves more than 5 stars. Joanne, please stay nearby and keep in touch!!!”
About: have experience caring for my sister’s cats by feeding them, giving them fresh water, cleaning their litter box, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, gentle, reliable, and truly enjoy being around animals. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while their owners are away.
About: Cats have always been a big part of my life—I’ve had them since I was young and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. In addition to being a lifelong cat owner, I have experience fostering kittens, where I helped provide a safe, nurturing environment during their earliest and most important stages of development. I’ve also spent time working with cats in a shelter environment, where I helped socialize cats with a wide range of temperaments—from shy and fearful to playful and outgoing. This experience has taught me how to read feline body language, respect their boundaries, and help them feel comfortable and secure in new situations. Whether your cat is energetic and curious, quiet and independent, or needs a little extra patience and reassurance, I aim to provide thoughtful, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality. My goal is always to help cats feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages before. Making sure to adjust to medications, meal, and walk times. I also have a dog as well who is very well taken care of at home! I’m currently working part time (very few hours) so I am available most of the week to play and walk your pups. My flexibility makes it easy to adjust to your dogs needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions, ensure their space is kept tidy, and of course keep their pets on their regular schedule.
About: I have experience working at doggy day cares, pet resort and hospital and I most recently have worked with a small pet sitting business where I walked dogs, fed and checked in on all types of pets, administered medication, was a pet taxi, wedding dog attendant and even sold “barkcuterie” boards! I work for in special education at an elementary school and just got out for summer break. I have open availability throughout the week and weekends! I am a very respectful, clean and organized person. I take pride in my attention to detail when it comes to being attentive to your pet and strive to leave things as they were or in better condition than I found them!
“Brandee is the absolute best! She replied to my booking so fast. Eventhough she wasn't available for the entire booking, she actively searched for friends who could help. Other sitters just turned down the request, or didn't reply. We agreed on some days that would work. The request was to care for tiny, sick, shelter kittens. The job was not easy, it involved an application to the animal shelter, wearing full protective gear, coordinating with the foster coordinator, and then caring for sick kittens. She handled it like a pro! She found her way in and worked with the kittens and even sent pictures. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
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.
“Wendy is amazing! This girl goes above and beyond. I got plenty of text and photos about the well-being of my babies. We even had an incident where it looked like someone tried to break in while I was away, and she sent extra photos just for my examination so I could tell if anything else was off. She's easy to get a hold of and communicate with. I will definitely be reaching out to her for all of my pet sitting needs as well as recommending her to anyone else in need.”

About: From hike, treats, play dates and long runs. Be prepared for your pup to be well stimulated and exercised while you’re away. Fair warning, they may have a better vacation than yours ;) What sets me apart from your normal sitter is not just my love for dogs, but also my experience and special skills. Growing up I had a wonderful dog named Rosco who brought so much joy to my family for his 12 years on this planet. Although he's no longer with us, his goofy spirit lives on in our hearts.

In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease. I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. If I'm caring for pets in their own home, I ensure that their routines are maintained, including feeding, walking, and any specific care instructions. I make sure to give them plenty of love and attention, just like they would receive from their own family. Whether it's in my home or theirs, I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾❤️
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.

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.

“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.”
“Wendy you are amazing!! Definitely a big help on such short notice. Appreciate you being able to meet my pups and I before my trip and they love you! Thank you so much. :)”

About: Hi! My name is Victoria, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life. I’ve had experience caring for many different types of animals over the years, but dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I absolutely love spending time with them and building strong, trusting bonds with each dog I meet. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have four dogs of my own—two Chihuahuas, one Pomsky, and one Chow Chow—so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from young puppies who need extra attention and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require patience, gentle care, and specialized routines. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is high-energy and loves walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I can provide the individualized care they need. I also have experience working with dogs who experience anxiety, separation anxiety, nervousness, and other unique behavioral needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care while treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication administration, or simply keeping your pup company, you can trust that they’ll receive plenty of love and attention in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! A little about me! I earned my Associate’s degree in Behavioral and Social Sciences and am currently continuing my education to complete my Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology. My studies have helped me develop strong skills in understanding behavior, patience, communication, and building positive relationships—qualities that I bring into every interaction with the pets I care for. I also work part-time as an in-home caregiver, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, compassion, and attentiveness. Because of my flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pup and ensure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I am available most mornings throughout the week, with the exception of Thursdays and Sundays, and I look forward to providing a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your furry family member. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of grass and space to run, play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors safely. My home provides a loving, pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay. I also have four extremely friendly dogs of my own—two Chihuahuas, one Pomsky, and one Chow Chow—who love meeting new furry friends. They are well-socialized and enjoy playing, making them great companions for dogs who enjoy interaction and socialization. Of course, I always pay close attention to each dog’s personality and comfort level to ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, outdoor adventures, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, they’ll be treated like family and receive plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with me.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—starting with our sweet family dog growing up. Now, I share my home (and heart!) with two more pups I co-parent with my girlfriend: a small Shih Tzu and a senior mix, along with our youngest frenchie, Cleo.

I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or behavior changes. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and I’m always mindful of doors, gates, and other safety measures. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Availability: I do work a 8-5 Mon-Fri job. I am open to house sitting if your pup can be okay with me being gone during those hours. I work in the El Cajon area so if you’re close by, I could stop to check on your pup during my lunch break. I try to accommodate as much as possible 😊 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexible scheduling so your pet gets the attention they need—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, enrichment play, or bedtime cuddles. I work from home and spend most of my time indoors or outside on walks, so I’m able to provide consistent companionship, love, and care throughout the day.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I share my life with Dulce, my playful and well-socialized 1.5-year-old pup who is spayed and fully up to date on all core vaccinations. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and accompanies me during full-day and overnight stays in San Diego. Because Dulce joins me, I accept bookings with dogs who are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. Many pups enjoy the added companionship, but I’m always attentive to each dog’s individual comfort level. I’m happy to thoughtfully socialize them or keep them separated as needed to ensure safety and peace of mind. Your pet will always receive attentive, loving care tailored to their routine and personality. I welcome dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Your pet’s routine is my top priority. I follow feeding, walking, and play schedules as you outline, with plenty of attention and breaks for rest. For full-day or overnight stays, I’m present and engaged the entire time, ensuring consistency and care throughout the day. Safety comes first. Dulce and I maintain a calm, controlled environment, and I supervise all interactions between pets. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I can adapt to your pet’s comfort level—whether that means gentle socialization or separate spaces. Your home and your pet’s belongings are treated with the utmost respect.
About: Neighbors and family friends have always relied on me to dog sit, take their dog out and spend the night to make sure their animals were okay while they were gone. I have free availability from week and weekends from early mornings to later afternoons. I currently just graduated college so I have alot of free time. I take good care of my own dog so other dogs will be a breeze to look out for and make sure they are doing good.
About: I have taken care of my family members dogs for years whether it be for multiple days or just walks! I have fed, walked, and even taken care of pets on medications! I also have cat experience as I grew up with cats. I currently work a full time job at an office. My schedule does slightly vary depending on the day but my longest shift is 10 hours long. When in your home, I will follow all rules as necessary! I will crate your pup if you need or let them roam free! I will follow whatever I am told to do in order to give your fur baby the best care while you are away!
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! I work M-F but I'm home by 1:00PM, Saturday and Sunday I'm free at any time. 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.

“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Kaitlin and Verle took such great care of our dog! He was calm and happy when we picked him up, and I would definitely feel comfortable booking again!”
“Izac is the man!!!! Saved the day for me. I had left my dog with another sitter that I was not stoked on. He went out of his way to go pick up my dog, took great of him, sent me tons of pictures, took him in walks. My dog was happy when I picked him up. Thanks Izac!!!”
“if you were looking for someone to care for your furry, loved one and keep you posted on how they’re doing. Siera is the best . she took time to really get to know Enzo, and give him the special attention he needed. I would use her and recommend her to anybody who loves their pet. she will care for him and keep your mind at ease.”
“Pamela helped us out last minute with our two dogs. She was very responsive and helpful. We are very satisfied with her care and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Jermere & Janetta were absolutely awesome to work with. My dogs had such a good time. From the beginning to end, their communication was stellar and very helpful especially for our senior dog. Thank you again J & J!”
“Rylee had another great stay with her fave babysitter, Ken. She gets so many walks and all the cuddles she needs. Ken expertly handles all her puppy energy and early morning wake ups. Rylee is looking forward to her next stay:)”
“Jessica was an amazing sitter while we were away. She was kind, thoughtful, and was even able to watch our kitten Dolly for the weekend with such short notice. She sent us updates about how Dolly was adjusting along with photos. It’s clear her home is full of animal lovers! We could not recommend her more. Thank you Jessica!”
“Vanessa provided excellent care for Charlie. He got out on neighborhood walks, had open access to her large, fenced in yard, and got to play with her dog too! He came home very happy. We’d definitely book again.”
“Cerita went above and beyond the call of duty when caring for blue. She fed him snacks and made sure he was comfortable. I would definitely use her services again. Thanks Cerita.”
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
“Trent and his family took great care of our 2-year old dog for 2 weeks over the holidays. Our dog is very social and active, so it was great that they have 2 dogs of their own to play with and a great little dog park just a few yards away. Our dog was not crate-trained, so we also appreciated the flexibility they showed in boarding her. Pickup/dropoff and communication was great, including photos and videos. Thanks!”
“Jessica is amazing! She was quick to respond to our request and took amazing care of our dogs. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the stay.”
“My dog had a great time with Alexis, Steven, and River. I always appreciate getting pictures of my baby girl when I’m out of town and they sent me several smiley photos of Patches on walks and getting lots of snuggles. I felt good knowing that Patch was being taken good care of while i was gone!”
“This was the 2nd time Alexis watched my pit bull. She communicated well and my dog seemed comfortable and happy. I would definitely use her for dog sitting in the future”
“Our Clover always gets the best care with Anar. It’s obvious that she enjoys being there when we’re away. She was wiped out after her last stay and passed out snoring when we got her home. Happy dog!”
“Natalee was an amazing sitter for our little guy Luffy! She is super sweet and kept great communication throughout his stay, making sure to share some adorable photos of their weekend adventures together :) Luffy seemed to have a great time and was even excited to see Natalee again upon dropping him off. We highly recommend Natalee to take care of your pups and look forward to having a safe space for Luffy to stay for future vacations!”
