“Whitney was super nice and friendly. My puppy, Luffy, looked really comfy & happy from the pic updates she sent throughout the day. She was very accomodating with everything my puppy needed to stay overnight. I would definitely recommend Whitney to anyone who’s trying to find a sitter for their pet/s. Overall an awesome experience, especially for my first time!”
“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.”
“Kylie & Anthony’s family were easy to work with and they took great care of our dog over Christmas week. They clearly love dogs and take the time to learn each dogs personality. They were flexible when our flight was three hours late.”
“This was Rosie's first ever boarding outside our house and Hana made Rosie's visit stress-free. Hana was very responsive to my booking inquiry and welcoming when we visited to meet her in advance of booking. Hana sent photos and videos during the stay and I felt very comforted knowing Rosie was in good hands. I would definitely book with Hana again. Thanks, Hana!”
“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
“We felt completely at ease leaving our dog with Mark over the holidays. He made sure Apollo was comfortable in his home and was super accommodating to all his little quirks. Mark's communication was excellent, always quick and responsive, which we appreciated. We'd definitely book with him again and recommend him to other dog owners :)”
“Melanie is such a kind and loving petsitter--and her longtime experience caring for senior dogs is such a huge benefit, too--she's given me great tips on things like how to get my dog to take his medicine and suggestions about how to help his mobility.”
“Our dog Lula had a great time during his boarding stay with Shyrah! She was very communicative and provided photos and updates throughout the booking. Would recommend!”
“Sama was great! I reached out to her in advance about her watching our 2 senior pups while we were in the hospital delivering our son and she was super down to be flexible around his due date and take them at short notice. He came 5 days early and she was able to modify the stay and take them early that day. She sent daily updates and pictures and they were clearly very cozy and happy in her home. 10/10 would recommend.”
“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 :)”
“Kiara was amazing. She clearly spent a lot of time with our dog, both at home and outside. They have a nice backyard where our guy had a blast exploring. Kiara is very attentive. She noticed our dog’s eyes were slightly red and checked in with us. Fortunately it was just that our man was tired from the excitement but we really appreciate her care and concern. She also sends regular updates and photos. 10/10 would recommend her.”
“Prompt responses and picture updates without having to ask. Boarding my puppy with Shileen I was given piece of mind my son was being taken care of and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will be boarding with Shileen again !”
“Jocy was amazing with our pup, Bella. We had a great little meet and greet and she made sure our girl was right at home. She sent us notes to clarify her needs before the stay and she sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. We would recommend Jocy to anyone!”
“Royce had a great time with Jimmy! He was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures and responded quickly. Definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future.”
“Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life by dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and at 40+ years in, my love for them has only grown. I've pet sat for many households and have a natural ability to handle all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I'm a verified member of Trusted House Sitters (in which the primary is pet sitting), and I take that seriously. I'm experienced with medically complex pets. I've administered subcutaneous fluids, insulin injections, and oral medications. I also have cared for special needs animals including a three-legged seizure-prone Chihuahua, a teacup Chihuahua with broken elbows, and a German Shepherd with cow-hocks disease. If your pet has extra needs, they're in capable hands. My approach is calm, grounded, and playful and animals feel it. I'm a certified hypnotherapist and life coach, and the same energy awareness and patience I bring to people, I bring to pets. Anxious, shy, and difficult animals tend to soften around me naturally. My sister didn't call me the Cat and Dog Whisperer for nothing. :D I have a soft spot for the ones others overlook. I've rescued an abandoned Chihuahua-Terrier, adopted a shelter pup, and my two boys Bruce and Charlie came to me as feral kittens nobody else wanted. Every animal deserves patience, consistency, and genuine love and that's exactly what I bring to every walk and drop-in. I'm a San Diego local with regular availability in LA County as well, so wherever you are, I've got you covered. My schedule is flexible and I'm available most weekdays and select weekends, morning through evening. I don't operate on a rigid 9-to-5, which means I can work around your pet's needs rather than the other way around. Outside of pet care, I'm an active, outdoorsy person and love hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding. That energy carries directly into every walk and drop-in. Your dog won't just get a stroll around the block, they'll get someone who genuinely loves being outside and moving. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities always. I follow your established routines closely and take detailed instructions seriously. Every home, every pet, and every owner is different, and I respect that. When I'm in your home I treat it with care. I leave things as clean or cleaner than I found them. Your space and your pet's environment will be respected. I'm extremely mindful of doors and escape artists. I know how quickly a curious pet can bolt, and I create my own blockades when needed to make sure no one slips out unexpectedly. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs simultaneously including large, high-energy breeds. I've walked a Rottweiler and German Shepherd together, both with strong pulling tendencies, and handled them with confidence. You'll never wonder how your pet is doing. I send photos and updates daily including sometimes multiple times a day because I know how much you miss them and how much it means to see a happy face pop up on your phone. I also have hands-on experience with pet first aid, including applying Quik Stop for bleeding so minor mishaps are handled calmly and quickly without panic. Your home, your routines, your pet I've got all of it handled.
“Madalyn has been such a great help when we travel. One of my cats always comes out to greet her while the other is such a scardy cat, he hides. She always leaves an update with pictures giving us peace of mind.”
“Casandra was amazing with my cats- they slowly warmed up to her over time and she was able to get meds to my extra nervous cat! I know I can look to her when I leave town and not have to worry :)”
“We had Le Lee stay overnight with our 2 cats and they loved her! We have one cat who’s really social, loves to play and needs to be played with a lot so he doesn’t cause trouble, Le Lee gave him all the attention he needed and played with him until he was tired. Our other cat is super skittish and mostly hides when people come over. She has been known to hide the whole time when sitters are there but she was out and playing with Le Lee within the same day (amazing because she never does that!) Le Lee sent lots of pictures and updates for us which reassured me that everything was going well, and I wasn’t worried at all. She also was available last minute and made time to come do a meet and greet with us and the cats beforehand. I would highly recommend her for your pets, and I’ll definitely be asking her to stay with our cats again next time! Thank you so much Le Lee!”
“Audrey was great with our 2 kitties! She happily accommodated our last minute booking request only a few days ahead of time. Our cats seemed to really enjoy playing with her (based on photos), and she took good care of our home as well. 10/10 would hire again!”
“I took a trip quite far away and I was gone for quite a long time. It was so comforting to have Merlyn giving a detailed report every day about my pet while I was gone. When I came home, everything was perfect. She even watered the plants!”
“Anna did an exceptional job watching my two cats and home. She was excellent at communication and I really appreciated the regular photos and videos she sent. The house and cats were well taken care of and I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a quality petsitter. Thanks, Anna!!”
“I'm so grateful that Susanne was able to accommodate my last minute request to check in on my cats over Thanksgiving. Susanne is professional and can apparently capture photos of even very shy cats :) I will be rebooking her services in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter when I was in high school. My fur baby Leo was my everything so I understand the importance of having a thoughtful, caring, and detail oriented individual watching your pets. I want to make sure that not only your pets needs are met but yours as well. I want to create a comfortable and safe environment for your pets. I work a hybrid schedule and can spend the day with your pet if that’s a need! Although I do not have any cats I do have some experience playing with anxious cats. I know it can take them a while to come around but once they do it’s so rewarding. I am more than happy to check in on your cats and make sure they have some company. I am currently working full time but a hybrid schedule so I can spend the day pet sitting or just do drop ins. I can do potentially do weekends with advance notice. In the clients home I’ll make sure your pets are comfortable. I’ll check in with the client and see if there are specific schedules or routines I should follow. I’ll make sure your pet is safe and create a trusting environment for them.
“Ms Caity is attentive and responsible. She now is our go-to. She did a fantastic job watching our babies for 3 weeks while overseas and 1 week out of state. Gold stars!! I highly recommend.”
About: I've had cats for most of my whole life and currently have two orange tabby sisters of my own. I'm comfortable with daily feeding routines, litter box cleaning, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I know every cat has a different personality and I'm happy to meet them we're they're comfortable and make sure their routine stays consistent.
About: Hi! I’m Charlie and I’d be honored to help you with your pet needs. I have recently moved (back) to San Diego from the east coast, where I ran Happy Trails Dog ranch boarding dogs in my home. I loved being surrounded by dogs all day and am sincerely missing it. While we get settled in CA I would love to get my dog fix by helping out with yours! I have experience with and am confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I have been fostering dogs since 2020, and during that time I have come to understand that each dog has their own unique personality and have become adept at reading dog body language and helping them feel safe and comfortable with me. I would love to meet, become friends with and help out with your fur-friend and will take care of them with diligence, love and joy. I look forward to meeting your family! I am available for dog walking and house calls weekdays, between 9.30-3. Weekends and evening walks and house visits can be arranged on an individual basis. I will work with you to ensure your pet gets the best care and attention, specific to their individual needs. I am flexible and can care for them at your house or ours.
About: I have over 15 years experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up living with large breed dogs in my home and have gained experiencing caring for dogs, cats, and other critters (birds, tortoises, rabbits, ferrets, etc.) all of sizes in my community as a trusted sitter and Humane Society volunteer. I have cared for dogs young and old, puppies who required constant care and seniors with mobility support needs. I am comfortable administering oral or topical medication and bathing dogs upon request and direction. I currently live with a curious 9 year old feline named Luna and am planning for our next four legged friend. Since moving to San Diego from the Bay Area, I’ve missed daily walks with my family’s dog, a Siberian Husky Malamute mix also named Luna, and cherish each opportunity I get to bring that care, joy, structure, and stimulation to a dog’s daily life. Safety, trust, and wellness are my top priorities when engaging with your pet. It is important to me to honor each pet’s unique needs, personality, and boundaries with each meeting. I look forward to being a loving, reliable human in your pet’s life. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule that allows for weekday drop ins and walks. If requesting house sitting during the week, please specify if a constant daytime presence in the home is desired. Trust and reliability are central to my work as a sitter and caregiver. As no two pets or homes are alike, it’s important to me to understand you and your pets’ unique needs and preferences and adapt my care accordingly. I want to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe, and your home clean and comfortable. I love snapping photos to keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout our time :)
“Zane was absolutely amazing! I felt he went above and beyond for our senior dog and even gave him a nickname that we will forever use! He understood how important it is to give updates with pictures and was very commutative. I 100% recommend booking with Zane.”
“We were so glad we contacted her to take care of my cat since she was very punctual, friendly with my pet. She was in constant contact with me and sent various pictures and videos of my cat. She was overall very flexible and took great care of my cat and in the future we will definitely choose her again.”

“Michelle was great with our anxious senior pup! He has separation anxiety and she created a very calming environment for him to hang out at and had a great system to ensure that he was comfortable. She was communicative and easy to plan with. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Ruby had a great time! Thank you Jason for the walks and cuddles with Ruby and all the sweet pictures! It was comforting to know she was being well taken care of while I spent the afternoon sightseeing.”
“Alyssa was fantastic! She responded promptly, she provided great care and feedback, she has a great setup, and I'm looking to book her again this week and beyond!”
“Kylie is very responsive and communicates well, which I appreciate. My dog enjoys his days playing with their 2 dogs and others they care for. I’ll definitely continue using their services.”
“Mrs. Shyrah is awesome! I brought my 2 dogs - Athena (Rottweiler) and Ava (Chihuahua/Dachshund) - to her care, and despite them both being very shy of new people, I was told they did wonderfully, they were so calm and friendly to her at her home. She let both of them feel welcome and let them acclimate to the environment at their own pace. She often sent me pictures and updated me on how they were, which was so great to see. I will 100% be booking Mrs. Shyrah again in the nearby future for all daycare and overnight stays! She’s awesome and my dogs love her! 💕”
About: Hi! My name is Kiara and I am a fully remote worker with no pets and a quiet, clean space to spend time with your baby - focusing on one dog at a time to ensure quality attention and care can be provided. I am an experienced dog owner who lost my baby, Shiloh 🐾🪽🤍, after 13 years. Since Shiloh’s passing, I haven’t felt ready to commit to owning another dog full-time. However, I have been big sister/cousin to other dogs over many years and have loved on various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am particularly experienced in providing calm, laidback environments for furry family and friends, ensuring both pup and I feel at ease with our time together. My work grants me the ability to love on and closely monitor the dog(s) I choose to spend time with in the comfort of my home. I have the flexibility to not only give lots of TLC, but also take them for walks or play in my backyard. I have a healthy work/life balance that avails the opportunity to make time to brighten a pup’s day, giving you some free time and me some added canine joy. While your pup will have open space in my home to explore, I have a safety gate to block off stairs as needed, and an enclosed indoor play area with bowls, toys, and enough room for you to bring their crate / bed. My fully fenced in backyard makes backyard trips convenient and safe, and my neighborhood offers many sidewalks and parks to safely walk my more active friends. Additionally, there is an enclosed dog park right across the street!
“Whitney is one of the most comprehensive and attentive sitters I’ve gotten. Got loads of pictures and fantastic updates! Definitely a recommend and would love to have her take care of Terry again!”
“Susanee is an excellent dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, Zhuangzhuang, and there was also another Bernese dog for them to play with, which helped Zhuangzhuang burn off a lot of energy. Plus, Susanee has a large, fenced yard, perfect for active pets. Zhuangzhuang had a fantastic day!”
“Every pet parent’s wish is that their fur child gets the same love and care at a sitter’s as they do at home. Ann provides exactly that. She is responsible (arranges meet and greets of all dogs she cares for) and adheres to all provided care instructions as well as send picture/video updates throughout the day. I love that dogs are allowed to roam free in her house as it provides a more “home-like” environment compared to other typical boarding facilities. She is great to communicate with regarding scheduling and understanding when emergencies come up. Ann has been my dog Ollie’s go to daycare and boarding service for the past two years. But honestly, she’s gone above and beyond to be more than that. Ollie enjoys spending time at her house and even gets invited to her dog’s birthday party every year. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jessica has been absolutely amazing! As a travel healthcare worker starting at a new facility in San Diego, my schedule has been changing constantly, and she has been incredibly flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with. It has taken so much stress off my plate knowing Broly is in such great hands. This morning I completely forgot his bag with his food and leash, and without hesitation she offered to pick up the mobile order I placed so he had everything he needed. She was an absolute lifesaver! It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and I always feel confident leaving Broly with her. I can’t recommend her enough, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Had a last minute trip and Melanie was able to accommodate us. She was very informative, sent pictures and let us know how she was doing. I would love to use Melanie again when we are in town.”
“We are SO grateful for Heidi!!! Her attention and care for our dog has been unlike any other we’ve experienced. She is extremely communicative, kind, and she treats Bogey as if he was one of her own! We get consistent updates throughout the day. Her experiences with her own dogs throughout her life is clear and is translated through her level of care for dogs. Would 12/10 recommend her!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around both big and small dogs, including Labs and Chihuahuas, as well as Dobermans, and German Shepherds. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I currently live with a roommate who has a Lab and a cat, so I’m around both dogs and cats regularly. I’ve also had experience pet sitting for friends, family, and others, and I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I am currently working part-time that is during the day. So I can work evenings, the weekends and sometimes during the week on my days off. My apartment is clean and pretty big. There is a lot of places to walk the dog and go to the bathroom near my apartment
“Chris is a nice, pleasant and friendly when we met, and Zoe took a liking to him right away. He sent us photos when we asked and communicated with us when we would inquire how Zoe was doing throughout the day. Chris watched Zoe for a good amount of the day since my partner and I work shifts at the hospital. Chris did a wonderful job with Zoe, took her on walks and car rides and updated us so we felt that she was given plenty of love and attention. Thanks for having her in your care and we'd love to book you again.”
About: Hi there! :) I'm a 29 year old young professional using Rover in my spare time. I love dogs and cats and I have cared for my own cockapoo from when she was a puppy to fourteen unforgettable years with her everlasting puppy energy! I’ve also lived with extended family for 3 years and helped care for three dogs: two shih tzu/maltese dogs and an energetic, adorable yorkie! I have added a new puppy to my family over the last few years and now have another cockapoo, so I have extensive experience caring for little pups! From small cockapoos to big lovable retrievers, I have exceptional pet sitting experience as well as basic walking experience. I am always eager to accompany some furry friends during my free time :) I love exercising and being outdoors, so I would love to run with any dogs that also enjoy an active lifestyle! I have no allergies to any other animals, and I do have a car to get around the city. **For house sitting requests, please reach out at a minimum of 1 week in advance. I am unable to accommodate last minute requests as I always schedule meet-and-greets with you and your pets to ensure I am a good fit for you and their needs.** Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I look forward to learning more about you and your lovely pet(s)! I work from home full time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays with full availability to accompany your pet(s) all day. I go into the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays, typically from 9am to noon. With that said, if I am house sitting, I can still feed your pet in the mornings and take them outside to relieve themselves. I usually end my work days between 4:00-4:30pm and I am also flexible on the weekends :) For drop-in visits and dog walks: Please be as specific as possible for how you would like me to care for your pet! Include information such as where to find their food, bowls, treats, harness, leash, potty pads, cleaning supplies, etc. Please also be transparent and let me know of any external or in-home cameras. This is for my own safety and privacy.
“Updates throughout the day, they were super understanding when I was running late from work, and when I picked up my dog at the end of the day I got a great summary of the day! Very knowledgable of dog behavior, and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with them! Will definitely book in the future ?”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my very first dog when I was 10 years old. Later as an adult, I took in a friend's dog who was looking for a new home. He is now almost 14 years old, happily living and spoiled with love at my parents' house! I’m truly passionate about animal care and love staying up to date by following and sharing content from dog care accounts on social media. I’m very observant and quick to pick up on a dog’s body language whether they need something or feel uncomfortable and I’m always striving to understand them even better! I’m currently not working, so I’m at home most of the day with my dog, Mango (a super friendly 1year and 8month old). I have plenty of time to take care of your cute little buddies! I live in a quiet, dead-end community in Stonecrest with no through traffic, making it super safe and peaceful. There are plenty of friendly dogs of all sizes in the neighborhood! I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, relax, and take easy potty breaks. Plus, our community features a great park and lovely walking trails, offering a wonderfully dog-friendly environment with super nice neighbors.

“Highly recommend Charlotte! She was reliable, friendly, and took great care of our dog Izzy during her walk. Izzy loved the extra playtime with her after the walk too! I felt confident Izzy was well cared for during her visit with Charlotte and we will definitely be using her again in the future!!”

About: I am a lifelong dog owner! I'm the proud dog mom to Freya and Odin! I have experience working at a professional boarding and daycare. I have watched puppies all the way to seniors who need medicine administered! I'm currently an online student, so I'm always home to keep an eye on your pet and give them plenty of love! Your pet will have all the attention they could want! I have a fully fenced in grass backyard with plenty of room to run! I have two very friend dogs Freya and Odin, they will adapt to how your dog is. Whether that is constantly playing, or having some friends to nap with! Your pet will have full access to the house and plenty of toys and beds!
About: House with AC and heat! Blasting it all day long for these fur babies!!! I grew up with dogs! I raised my fur baby since she was 8 weeks old and she almost 6 years old now. I also have watched many of my friends and neighbors dogs while they are gone for a few nights up to a week. I fostered two puppies (separately) last year, and may foster again soon! I work from home and have the flexibility to build my day. I spend a lot of the day on the couch (in the AC or heat) to be near Cocoa. I get an hour for lunch so I tend to take Cocoa out to play if the weather permits. I also have a fenced back yard and spend a lot of time out there with the pups. I do go to the gym almost daily and sometimes go into the office to meet clients for a few hours. It’s best if your dog can be crated or left alone in a seperate room without anxiety or accidents. I have a fenced in yard as well as baby gates in the house to keep the dogs out of areas they shouldn’t including by the front door. I live in a nice community with clean grassy areas for dogs to sniff and potty.
“Hana is amazing! I have been extremely scatterbrained and she’s been very understanding and worked with me when I messed up our walking schedule. She is a true dog whisperer and I trust her with our (sometimes very angry) 13 year old husky. She is very patient with him (and me) and has been a real lifesaver for dog walking on our busy 15 hour days!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life. From reptiles, fish, bunnies/guinea pigs, cats and dogs! From babies to seniors My longest boarding was 1.5 months. I work/stay at home. So I’m usually very open with my schedule! Usually available every single day. I’m open to help any way I can! I have a fenced in yard, two story home. If you would like to keep your pet separate from mine that is very possible! I’m usually more comfortable with care in my home. But if it works better for me to check in that can also be arranged.
“Caity was wonderful with our leash-reactive dog, who was always happy (and tired!) after her walks. Caity is very reliable, responsible, and her love for dogs is obvious. We will definitely be using Caity again in the future. 100% recommend.”
“We hired Susanne to walk both of our dogs while we were out of town. Susanne was great! She sent us everyday pictures and updates. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had 2 labs and a German Shepard growing up. I currently help dog sit and walk my neighbors dogs and my schedule is extremely flexible I currently have an extremely flexible schedule so I can work Monday through Sunday and I am willing to work with anyone on fitting my schedule around their needs. I currently live in a small ADU Unit in a backyard that is fenced off from my neighbors who own two friendly dogs, due to how small my unit is I would prefer to stay at a clients home if I needed to dogsit overnight!
“Tyler has been a God send! I’ve been working two jobs back to back and husband has been deployed so it’s been very helpful having Tyler help me take care of my pups on my long work days. He goes above and beyond to help me out by feeding them, filling their water bottle and taking out the trash. Will definitely recommend Tyler!”
About: Hi, all! My name is Grace. I have been taking care and walking dogs my whole life, I but entered the professional pet care industry about 10 years ago. I love taking care of dogs and other animals from all walks of life, as I believe all living things should have the best quality of life that they possibly can. I have also been an athlete for over two decades, and cannot wait to have fun getting active with your animals. I offer jogging/running for the more athletic pups, and a more leisurely stroll for the dogs that like to take life a bit slower, as well as dog-sitting and drop-ins for all animals in between. I can't wait to meet you and your fluffy friends! I work part time in the afternoons and evenings, so I able to take your pets out for a fun activity in the mornings and afternoons until 2pm. I look forward to building a relationship with your furry friends! I do not offer in-home care as I live with roommates and a strictly human-friendly cat, but I love to extend my hospitality to the setting where your pet is most comfortable, their own home. I am pleased to offer safe and fun care while I am in your home, with lots of activity or snuggles depending on the energy levels.
About: Hi, my name is Bryan i’m a Registered Nurse here in San Diego. I lost my fur child of 10 years (Boxer)last year and looking to now help pet owners with theirs. My days are random but as a nurse I do work long hours but i do get lots of days off. my schedule is flexible. I used Rover for my dog Loki and I know from experience that each person unique ways to care for their fur child. As I sitter i’m looking to tailor my care to each individual client
About: I'm the proud parent of a 5y/o high-energy labradoodle (Lenny), and our routine of three walks every day means I understand exactly what dogs need to feel calm, stimulated, and happy. I know how to read a dog's energy, when to up the pace, when to slow down and let them sniff, and when they just need to decompress at their own pace. Before getting my own dog, I spent months researching dog behavior, needs, and communication. I've also worked with a professional dog trainer to understand how to lead a dog confidently and calmly, skills I bring to every walk! Over the years, I've cared for a variety of different dogs for friends, neighbors, and coworkers, so I know how to adapt to different personalities, sizes, and temperaments. I'm a big lover of sniff-friendly walks. Research shows that letting dogs sniff and explore is one of the most powerful ways to lower their stress and keep them mentally healthy, so I always make space for that, whatever the pace of the walk. :) Whether your fur baby thrives on a brisk, energetic walk or prefers a leisurely neighborhood stroll, I'll match their needs and yours. I'm happy to discuss your dog's pace, preferred routes, and any training cues before we get started. Fresh air and walks are a big highlight of my day! I'm happy to be flexible based on the time of day and length of walk your pup needs..I already walk my own dog three times a day, so adding walks for your pup fits naturally into my routine. I keep my schedule intentional, I won't overbook, so your dog always gets my full attention. Your dog's safety is my first priority. I've worked with a trainer to understand leash handling, body language cues, and how to respond calmly in unexpected situations. I always use secure equipment and won't walk more than one unfamiliar dog at a time without discussing it with you first. I treat every dog like a family member. I'm consistent, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog's wellbeing and happiness!
About: I have over 15 years experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up living with large breed dogs in my home and have gained experiencing caring for dogs, cats, and other critters (birds, tortoises, rabbits, ferrets, etc.) all of sizes in my community as a trusted sitter and Humane Society volunteer. I have cared for dogs young and old, puppies who required constant care and seniors with mobility support needs. I am comfortable administering oral or topical medication and bathing dogs upon request and direction. I currently live with a curious 9 year old feline named Luna and am planning for our next four legged friend. Since moving to San Diego from the Bay Area, I’ve missed daily walks with my family’s dog, a Siberian Husky Malamute mix also named Luna, and cherish each opportunity I get to bring that care, joy, structure, and stimulation to a dog’s daily life. Safety, trust, and wellness are my top priorities when engaging with your pet. It is important to me to honor each pet’s unique needs, personality, and boundaries with each meeting. I look forward to being a loving, reliable human in your pet’s life. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule that allows for weekday drop ins and walks. If requesting house sitting during the week, please specify if a constant daytime presence in the home is desired. Trust and reliability are central to my work as a sitter and caregiver. As no two pets or homes are alike, it’s important to me to understand you and your pets’ unique needs and preferences and adapt my care accordingly. I want to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe, and your home clean and comfortable. I love snapping photos to keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout our time :)
About: Ever since I was a teenager my family and friends have relied on me to take care of their animals. Everyone knows they are safe while they’re gone. While most of my friends are focused on marriage/having kids, I am more focused on spending time with animals😂 I’m currently taking real estate appraisal courses so my schedule is very flexible! Right now, I’m taking online courses for my profession. In between classes I would like to take breaks by taking care of animals. It’s both a stress reliever and something I love to do. I keep an eye out for any safety concerns or measures that need to take place to ensure the safety of your animals. Safety is key!
About: I've loved, looked after, and saved dogs since before 2005 but that was also the year we got our first dog. That's when the real love began and working with them started. Watching family, friends, and neighborhood dogs was something I would never say no to even if I was working as well. Animals bring joy to life if treated properly that makes any pain or sadness go away and thats something special. I currently work full time 6:30-8:30am and 2:00-6:00pm M-F but I am very flexible and would love to do full time stays while working or weekend sitting. If something comes up I will notify you as soon as possible. I have so much experience with fenced yards, crating animals, and any commands needed to have animals obey. Specific furniture instructions and blocking off areas of the house if needed.
About: I have had a dog since I was born and I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life. I have worked as a dog walker/dog sitter since I was a little kid. My last dog client I have worked with everyday for the past four years, he is moving with his parents to their new station. I have experience with puppies as young as 4 months all the way to senior dogs with hip weaknesses with therapy sessions and kidney problems that require special diets. I am graduating with my masters in nursing. My schedule is consistent but flexible with days or times your pup needs me. My past experiences have prepared me for last minute schedule changes and even quick a quick pop-by. I try to keep schedules as normal as possible for clients. I verify walking/sitting schedules with my clients frequently and notify them right away if there is a schedule conflict or if I may be running early or late. I understand some pets don't love the rain and will not go out, if that is the case I'll sit with them and comfort them. I usually contact my clients with a picture or just a thumbs up that their pet had a good walk and is doing well and are back home playing or napping.

“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.”

“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.”
“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.”

Nacho misses you already”
