“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”
“Mihaela is our favorite sitter we have found on rover. She is so sweet and takes such good care of our Ollie. She also sends the best updates. Thank you for all that you do Mihaela!”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home, so your pet will have my full attention all day long. I currently have a cat and a 15 year old senior dog, so I truly understand the bond we have with our older furry friends. Since I care for a senior dog myself, I’m very comfortable with medical needs. I can easily handle: Injections (like insulin) and any oral medications. Special diets and strict feeding schedules. Senior care for pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. Because I’m home 24/7, I can provide constant companionship and as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be treated like family here I work from home full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule. Your pet will have my companionship 24/7, with constant supervision and as many potty breaks or walks as they need throughout the day A typical day includes lots of cuddles, mental stimulation, and fun games. We will explore the nearby park and enjoy long walks. Since I’m always home, I can strictly follow any feeding or medication schedules your pet requires
“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!”
“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.”
“Whitney was very communicative from the start all way through to picking up our dog Pony. We got plenty of photos throughout the day and night she was watching him which we were grateful for :) Pony loves other dogs so it was great that Whitney owns one and was watching another during his stay. She even bought Pony some treats! We would definitely book with Whitney again!”
“Anna was amazing watching my dog Willow for the first time. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her after just moving to San Diego, but Anna immediately put me at ease. She was so kind and treated Willow like her own, letting her relax and feel comfortable in her home. She kept me updated and sent great pictures that made me really happy. I truly appreciated her communication and care—would absolutely recommend her! She’s wonderful and you can see how much she loves and cares about dogs! Willow had a great time!”
“It was our first time booking with Monique and I would 100% book again! We left our dog with her for five nights, and he was well taken care of. We got daily updates and pictures, and we love that she has a work-from-home and fenced yard set-up so that he was with people most of the time. Thank you Monique! Sheep seems like he had a great time with you!”
“PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.”
“Alex was great with Amory! This was his second time with my cat and he did amazing. I had a business trip and travel delays and Alex was very flexible and communicative.”
“Cerita and her family were great with Bam Bam! She obviously enjoyed her stay, photos proving she was having a blast! We appreciate the attention and care they gave her!”
“Phillip is just the best!! He has taken great care of our senior dog and loved on her as if she was his own dog, we absolutely trust our dog is in good hands with Phillip.”
“My sweet Maxwell did so well and seemed so happy with Vanessa. I'm so thankful we found her. She’s so attentive, and her home is a beautiful, comfortable place for my little boy. I’ll definitely use Vanessa again.”
“Dave was fantastic with my dog! He provided me with regular updates and photos. Louie loved being able to play with his dog, Astro. Thank you Dave for accommodating Louie’s needs. I would definitely recommend Dave to anyone needing a loving sitter for their pup, and we would love to use him again in the future!”
“The best dog sitter! Nala is always so comfortable with her, and that gives me so much peace of mind. She is very communicative and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. She genuinely cares about Nala’s well-being, including her nutrition, and treats her like she’s her second mom. I trust her completely, and whenever she’s available, she’ll definitely be watching Nala again. This will already be our fourth time booking with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving pet sitter!”

Overall, it was a straightforward and positive experience, and I would consider booking her again in the future.”

“I was away from home, and our previous cat sitter failed to show up for one of the scheduled drop-in visits. I couldn’t reach them. In a pinch, I was looking for a pet sitter, and Jade was more than happy to help. She was fantastic in getting all the details over the phone and was very communicative both before and during the visit. She even sent me adorable pictures of cats.”
“Jazmin continues to be the best with my cat, Timo! She’s very communicative and gives all the pertinent information in her report card :) Thank you, Jazmin!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable dog lover who enjoys staying active and spending time with pups of all kinds. I have a 7-year-old adopted dog, so I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet. I also have experience pet sitting for friends and roommates and am comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m currently available on weekends and would love to help your dog get some fresh air, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’ll also send updates and photos during our walks so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands! I work full-time so am available for dog walking in the evenings after 5pm and have a lot of free time on the weekends so more flexible then! I will safely walk your dog throughout the neighborhood. I do not do overnight or long-term care since I work and have my own dog at home.
“Destiny has been such an amazing cat-sitter for my boy Sunny. While I was away, my lockbox for my house key became too rusted to access (by no fault of anyone) and Destiny handled the situation in such a reassuring, professional way. After figuring out a plan of action, she communicated with a few of my neighbors and the maintenance workers on site to coordinate what would be needed to gain access back into my apartment to care for Sunny. It was a very stressful situation since I was concerned about Sunny not being able to be accessed, but Destiny went above and beyond to reassure me and make sure everything was well taken care of. Highly, highly recommend her services!”
“Frank is golden!! I knew exactly how my fur baby was doing the entire time I was away from her. He was really fantastic with her. I got updates every step of the way. He was very professional, punctual, and caring. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who has a high love of integrity. Book with confidence…I know I will again…can’t thank him enough!”
“Heather was caring and attentive with our kitties, including our 14 yo senior who takes multiple medications. She left us detailed updates which we really appreciated. Felt safe knowing our girls were in great hands!”
“Savannah took amazing care of our two cats while we were away and we couldn’t be happier! She went above and beyond with thoughtful attention to their comfort and needs, and we came home to happy and relaxed cats. She sent nice updates and you could see she really engaged with and took great care of them. I would definitely be happy to count on Savannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive and caring cat sitter!”
“Spencer was great with our two cats while we were away on a long trip. He was punctual and communicative throughout the booking. We received great pictures of our cats every day and it was clear they were very happy and comfortable with him.”
“Olivia has been such a huge help and someone we will absolutely trust and love to have watch our kitty girl again. Olivia is so attentive and accommodating to our 101 requests and she kept me in the loop with so many pictures and detailed updates. I cannot say enough good things about our experience and we are so grateful to have found her!!”
“Brenda did an awesome job looking after my two cats, notoriously shy, she got them to hang out and play! I already asked her to do another drop-in, she’s super reliable and the cats seemed very happy with how much time she spent with them!”
“Brittany truly goes above and beyond, not only taking excellent care of our kitty but also dealing with various unexpected issues like a large sofa being delivered while we were away and our cat getting outside. She’s an awesome and trustworthy pet sitter and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again for everything and happy thanksgiving!”
“Leilani was very professional and respectful of my cat and space! She did a great job and made sure to follow the daily instructions i left for her. I would reccomend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a kid. I started volunteering at the San Diego Humane Society in 2014 as a medical kennel assistant and there I learned how to care for both cats and dogs after their spay and neuter surgery. I then started working for Helen Woodward animal hospital as a vet assistant and did various things like draw blood, give vaccines, assist the vet in various procedures and much more. Just recently I worked with the San Diego Humane Society as a foster specialist and worked a long side many pets of all kinds. I walked many, interacted with many and learned various cues of body language. Im currently working full time and my availability at this moment is open weekdays after 6 and before 9am and weekends are pretty open. On Sundays I do attend church so it would need to be after or before service. I would do best in caring for a pet in their home since I have a dog of my own who liked to be the only child :)
“Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.”
“Taylor did a wonderful job looking after our cat while we were out of town. He sent us regular photos and put our minds at ease that our fur baby was in good hands. We and our cat are so grateful to him!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover and strong believer in positive reinforcement training and creating a calm, loving environment for every pet in my care. I've grown up with animals my whole life and I am a cat lady at heart. My senior cat has asthma, which has taught me how to properly and gently administer an inhaler, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra care. I also have a sweet and friendly Weimaraner, and together we've completed training through the San Diego Humane Society as well as PetSmart's advanced positive reinforcement program. Your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. I'm self employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and means your pet gets real attention throughout the day rather than being squeezed into a few rushed minutes. I can easily build walks, feeding times, and play breaks into my day whenever your pet needs them. The comfort and safety of your pet is always my number one priority. Before our first visit I like to learn about your pet's temperament, energy level, daily routine, health conditions, and favorite treats so I can match their normal rhythm as closely as possible. My goal is always a smooth, low stress experience where your pet feels just as comfortable as they would with you.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“My dog and I met with Shane and Chris for a meet-and-greet before I booked them for a day. They were so nice and genuine during both the initial visit and the day-of daycare that i was put immediately at ease for leaving them with my senior dog. I got to see their backyard (so spacious!), and I knew that Ghibli would love sunbathing there and be his lazy self. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services 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.”
“William is super awesome. He took great care of our young pup and was a very cool and funny guy to boot. He was definitley flexible and super responsive. He’ll be a great buddy for my buddy going forward.”
“Antonio was extremely flexible with my schedule and willing to make things work! I am so grateful because I get off work really late but he was willing to wake up for pick up. Seriously the best dog sitter!”
“My dog loved her stay with Anar and was excited to return! Anar was flexible with pick-up and drop-off and sent me updates throughout the day on how Willow was doing!”

In addition to attentive pet care, I offer intuitive animal communication for clients who are interested. After spending time with your pet, I share any intuitive impressions I receive about their personality, preferences, emotional state, or messages they may wish to express. This service is intended as a spiritual and intuitive complement to quality pet care. Rates reflect the personalized attention and unique service I provide. Discounts are available for longer stays and repeat clients. I’m home most of the time and structure my schedule around overnight stays, so your cat gets consistent presence and a stable routine. I’m available for extended stays and can keep feeding, litter, and sleep patterns aligned with what your cat is used to. Minimal disruptions, no rushing in and out-just steady, reliable care throughout the night and day. I care for cats in their own home where they feel secure.

I respect your space, keep everything tidy, and send clear updates so you always know how your cat is doing. Comfortable with shy cats, seniors, and medication routines.
“Zaira was amazing with our dog during the three days we needed daytime care while we were out. She was excellent with communication from the very beginning and very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. We did a brief meet-and-greet session first, and after that Zaira took our Labrador in without any issues. She also has her own dog, Malik (she’s a sweetheart!), and they got along really well, so we had no worries at all. Over the three days, Zaira took great care of our dog, shared pictures regularly, and kept us posted, which gave us complete peace of mind. If you’re visiting San Diego and need a reliable and caring place to leave your pup, Zaira is someone you can trust without hesitation. Highly recommended!”
“Derya and her husband are such wonderful people. They are warm, kind, and so welcoming to both our pup and to us. We felt so at ease having our pup stay with them, as they sent so many photos, videos, and updates throughout the day about their activities and adventures. It gave us so much relief knowing that our pup was in such a safe and happy environment, and he was always so happy and content when we picked him up! We absolutely would love to have our little one over with them again, and would recommend to anyone!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have taken care of family and friends dogs overnight and daily check ins. I currently have a 4 year old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon and we put in about 3-5 miles a day to get his energy out! My roommate also has a Labrador who joins us on walks as well. My dogs won't join your dog for a walk unless you specifically request play time. I am currently between jobs so I have a lot of time to take care of dogs. Available at any time and most days. Just need a day notice in advance and I can usually make it work. I have a fenced in front yard and two other dogs if your dog wants to play with others! Multiple walks a day, dedicated play time, and trips to the dog parks available.
“Rafael has been such a blessing for my goldendoodle, Lola, and I. We moved cross country to San Diego and, unfortunately, I work long hours— hours which Lola would stay alone. Having found Rafael was the best thing ever! He ensures that my Lola is well taken care of while I’m working: he takes her on long walks, plays ball with her, and sends updates throughout the day. What makes Rafael stand out is that he treats Lola as his own, if there is any concern about her eating habits etc, he immediately lets me know. I would 100% hands down recommend him to anyone looking for a doggy sitter.”
About: I have grown up with dogs in my household all my life and love all animals. I have my own rescue mutt and extensive experience working with all types of dogs. I would love to help out any families and make sure your animals are taken care of and comfortable! I work for the schools and I’m on summer break now and would love to help look after your pet. I have my own car so transportation will not be an issue. I have 1 dog and take her on multiple walks a day, to parks, beaches, and out on various outings. I am a very flexible person who wants to make sure your animals are comfortable and getting the attention they need. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, hikes, going to parks, being outside, and giving them cuddles.
“It’s been a while since I’ve used Rover to have my pup watched, and I’m so glad to have had Ziting watching him! She responded extremely fast, and I was so relieved she said yes—considering it was a less than 24hr sitting request. I received pics and vids from the daycare stay, and he looked so welcomed & happy. I’m sure Saint had a blast with her and Zuzu since he is now napping. Super professional, and I already had a feeling she’d be amazing at drop off! She was extremely flexible, and I can’t thank her enough. 10/10 sitter. Highly recommend! I would definitely book again.”
“Courtney was fantastic! We needed a last minute sitter to watch our Apollo for a few hours. She was super communicative and kept us updated with pictures and videos of our Apollo. He had so much fun with her and Poppy and instantly fell asleep when he got home. Would definitely recommend to anyone!”
“Colleen has been super accommodating for my early morning work schedule. Plus my puppy absolutely loves playing with her dog and is always happy and tuckered out when I pick her up.”
About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog (does not live with me). I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!
About: I grew up on a rescue farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I’ve truly never met one I didn’t adore. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I have experience fostering and dog-sitting pups of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m also comfortable working with dogs who have medical needs or unique personalities, whether they’re high-energy, shy, reactive, or a little anxious in new settings. I am a dog person to my core and have loved them all! I work from home Monday - Friday, so my situation is ideal for boarding and daycare as well as shorter overnights. I enjoy being outdoors as much as I enjoy a night in, so I can be flexible depending on each dog's needs. I live in a walkable neighborhood where I only need to be away from home for short periods of time to go grocery shopping or to hit the gym. I have always had a dog (though I am currently dog-free, unfortunately), so I am naturally attuned to their schedules and needs. I live in a very dog-friendly complex in a very residential neighborhood. I have lots of experience with controlled walks, crate training, and general dog safety, including emergency care and safe/proper introductions with other dog-friendly dogs. I live alone in a very calm, peaceful environment, and am conscientious of respecting a dog's space and know the importance of maintaining a semi-normal schedule while they're in a new/unfamiliar environment.
“Lisa is so fantastic. She took the best care of my little girl and made sure she was comfortable and confident. You can immediately tell she's a dog lover and understands their little personalities and needs. She was so easy to communicate with, extremely flexible with drop off and pick ups, and sent the most adorable photos. Thank you so much, Lisa!”

“Mihaela is awesome! Henry can't wait to see her and barks his head off when she comes to the door. July 3rd will be her last day with us but believe me when I say she will be the first person I pick if I need a dog walker again!!!”
“Due to an injury, living upstairs I’m not supposed to do much of and having to use a cane for awhile, I desperately needed help asap walking my big girl. We are active and usually walk at least two miles twice a day. I came across Daniel’s profile, nervous as I’ve never had anyone but myself walk my sometimes very hard headed strong Cane Corso. I really appreciated that his profile noted that he’s comfortable with bigger breeds and has one of his own. I can’t say enough good things about his work ethic, kindness, gentle demeanor, quick communication, punctuality, professionalism - all of it! Not to mention my dog with some serious separation anxiety by the 3rd morning was up before the alarm in the morning to put on her “necklace” and go walk with her new bestie! She now pouts and looks out the window for an hour after their walks! (ha ha thanks Daniel!) I have booked future walks with full confidence and absolutely no hesitation. I am so very very thankful for his way with my working breed dog and his help!”
About: Growing up with cats, my first dog was a Christmas gift when I was 16. Despite being on crutches, I learned a lot about dog training and care. Fast forward to 7 years ago, I rescued my border collie and trained her to become a service dog. We go everywhere and do (almost) everything together - including taking care of other dogs! I also now have a Foster dog, Ashe, who is very docile, gentle, and sweet. She's just happy to be here! I am also happy to watch your pet(s) at your home as my partner can take care of the gang here at home while I'm away. Whatever works best for you! Either way - your pets will be loved for however long you need! I work remote full-time and set my own schedule. Nyla joins me for runs, frisbee sessions at the park, hikes, and fetch 5-6 days a week. After that, it’s all cuddle puddle. We also do some training on our walks for breakfast! We go for a long walk in the morning and evening, with plenty of short breaks throughout the day - or one of the aforementioned activities! Safety is of utmost importance to me. I know many dogs have lots of ways they communicate their boundaries and I keep a close eye for any or all of them your dog may show. We have a fully fenced in front and backyard, a way to divide the two, and live in a residential neighborhood. I work with each pet to learn their comfort level and earn their trust on their terms and timetable. Nyla and our foster are both crate trained so separation is always available if need be!
“Excellent provider of dog walks. Her services have greatly improved our houses quality of life. Jazmin is a great communicator and I feel no anxiety while she is walking our dog.”
About: I grew up with dogs or cats in my home my entire childhood (0-18). I was born into a home filled with 14 animals. Mostly cats and dogs. For most of my childhood and adolescence I had a Rottweiler and a cat. I would walk/care for them and feed them without a need of a pestering mother. It’s been a few years since then, but my family has always had dogs in their homes, so when I visit I just help wherever appreciated. Often, walks for the three dogs my mom would have, would be the best way to help. That would be 9 walks a day, at minimum, because they would have to be walked separately. Although, I maintain a busy schedule working in luxury hospitality, I am consistently helping coworkers walk their dogs or even dog sit for friends for a day, a weekend, or a week at a time. Here, I am looking to do what I enjoy most, help the community. I look forward to connecting! I work full time in hospitality. I am off in the mornings. Typically, I have off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. However, those days do change. I have a single bedroom apartment on the second floor of a 2 floor building. I have bowls for food and water. If your dog is allowed treats, I usually like to give them liver treats. If the dog stays with me, I’ll walk the dog at least 3 times a day, but because I like to walk so much, it’s often the dog will get walked 5-6 times a day for roughly 20-30+ minutes each.
“Karilou is great with Luna. She is has been very accommodating with changes to my schedule andus a great communicator. I highly recommend her to everyone.”

About: My late fur baby had CKD and oral cancer. I am experienced caring for special needs cats as I kept her comfortable as long as possible and I’m familiar with administering meds and other sick fur baby needs. If my love was as vast as any cat’s appetite, than your fur babies will be cared for in your absence multiple times over. Available weekends and evenings. I work and live centrally in Talmadge and near Adams Ave and can be available within 15 mins drive to most residences in metro San Diego. I have a dog park at my apartment complex, an outdoor gated walking space, and will look after your pet like family. Even though I have a cat, Bougie knows how to share his space indoor with your fur baby. If you prefer I can drive to you to spend time with them and perform the duties of a responsible pet sitter.

I have my own furry crew at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like they’re family. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, from playful pups to more anxious or shy personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned into what each pet needs to feel safe and happy. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some playtime, or just a calm, comforting presence, I’m here for it. I’m also a big cat person! I love their personalities and am just as happy stopping by for feedings, play, and cuddles (on their terms, of course 😊).

I love walking daily so this is helping me get my steps in and pay my student bills :) In your home, I follow the rules of your house and will always be respectful of your home while I’m caring for your pet.
“Savannah was excellent! I appreciated how thorough she was and how she put so much care and intention into caring for my dog, Yuki! We scheduled a meet and greet beforehand so that we could go over some details and get acclimated with each other. On the day of the walk, she followed all of the instructions and sent some cute photos from the walk. Will definitely be working with Savannah again soon!”
“Jennifer was great and was able to walk my puppy last minute. She was on time and gave me great updates. Puppy loved her and I would definitely use her again!”
About: I’m an experienced pet sitter who cares for each pet like my own. From playful puppies to senior pets, I make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved—plus I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos.

I have a nice park near my house and I have roommates that love dogs. I can guarantee lots of love for your pet. I have dog toys and treats too, for doggies in training !
“Julio is great with my dogs! My border Collie puppy is nervous around new people. Julio was very gentle and patient with him. I appreciate Julio's calm demeanor and his commitment to learn about the dogs he walks, especially their behaviors and routines. He has good communication and feedback. Overall will definitely be booking again with Julio for dog walks!”

Before our first visit I like to learn about your pet's temperament, energy level, daily routine, health conditions, and favorite treats so I can match their normal rhythm as closely as possible. My goal is always a smooth, low stress experience where your pet feels just as comfortable as they would with you.
About: I have a safe place for your pets! I can provide other services for yours including bathing, grooming and training. I have an apartment and live alone with another dog I've adopted who's very friendly! I also volunteer at the El Cajon Humane Society. I do multiple bookings and request your pet be good with others. I'm happy to take them to the park, and a small area outside for frequent potty breaks. I have an area to separate them if needed. I provide updates and make sure everything is okay for your dog or cat. I have a Ring camera installed. Non Neutered / Spayed okay. Just ask they be good with other pets. I make plenty of time for walks and potty breaks. I get up early and take them out for a walk and a longer one in the afternoon and evening, and to the parks nearby. They will be indoors with me. I live alone in an apartment. I don't have kids. I do multiple bookings if dogs are compatible. There are three parks walking distance! Daily coat brushing. Teeth check and brushing 1 time per week. Free bath if booked over 14 nights!

“Mihaela is our favorite sitter we have found on rover. She is so sweet and takes such good care of our Ollie. She also sends the best updates. Thank you for all that you do Mihaela!”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“It was our first time booking with Monique and I would 100% book again! We left our dog with her for five nights, and he was well taken care of. We got daily updates and pictures, and we love that she has a work-from-home and fenced yard set-up so that he was with people most of the time. Thank you Monique! Sheep seems like he had a great time with you!”
“Cerita and her family were great with Bam Bam! She obviously enjoyed her stay, photos proving she was having a blast! We appreciate the attention and care they gave her!”
“The best dog sitter! Nala is always so comfortable with her, and that gives me so much peace of mind. She is very communicative and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. She genuinely cares about Nala’s well-being, including her nutrition, and treats her like she’s her second mom. I trust her completely, and whenever she’s available, she’ll definitely be watching Nala again. This will already be our fourth time booking with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving pet sitter!”
“This is the second time we’ve used Ami for our dog sitting needs. She is reliable, quick to respond and has always been able to help us with such short notice. We appreciate that she sends us daily updates. We know Darwin is in a good place when he zooms up the stairs at drop-off!”
“Matthew was a godsend! Extremely flexible with day of boarding, and took amazing care of my dog all weekend. She came back super calm and happy. He has a wonderful space and energy. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“Lisa has been absolutely incredible taking care of my mango. She is phenomenal about planning ahead of the visit, sending updates during and making mangos staycation amazing with tons of walks and love. I am incredibly thankful to Lisa for her kindness and help!”
“Jason is fantastic! I can’t recommend him enough! Our cattle dog Ruby stayed with Jason for three weeks while we were abroad and she was so happy and well cared for. Jason and his family showered her with love, daily walks, and top-notch care. Ruby can be shy and nervous, but she took to Jason right away, he is a true dog whisperer. Jason is fantastic with communication and really easy to work with. He was able to accommodate an oversight on my part and adjust our dates last minute, we greatly appreciated the flexibility! We are so thankful to have found Jason and will certainly use him again as our favorite pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Michelle is amazing! She cared for our Blue as if he were her own. She took him on regular walks and always kept me updated with sweet messages and pictures. Her dogs were wonderful hosts too—they all welcomed Blue into their home with open paws! I highly recommend booking Michelle. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals.”
About: I grew up with dogs or cats in my home my entire childhood (0-18). I was born into a home filled with 14 animals. Mostly cats and dogs. For most of my childhood and adolescence I had a Rottweiler and a cat. I would walk/care for them and feed them without a need of a pestering mother. It’s been a few years since then, but my family has always had dogs in their homes, so when I visit I just help wherever appreciated. Often, walks for the three dogs my mom would have, would be the best way to help. That would be 9 walks a day, at minimum, because they would have to be walked separately. Although, I maintain a busy schedule working in luxury hospitality, I am consistently helping coworkers walk their dogs or even dog sit for friends for a day, a weekend, or a week at a time. Here, I am looking to do what I enjoy most, help the community. I look forward to connecting! I work full time in hospitality. I am off in the mornings. Typically, I have off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. However, those days do change. I have a single bedroom apartment on the second floor of a 2 floor building. I have bowls for food and water. If your dog is allowed treats, I usually like to give them liver treats. If the dog stays with me, I’ll walk the dog at least 3 times a day, but because I like to walk so much, it’s often the dog will get walked 5-6 times a day for roughly 20-30+ minutes each.
“Benjamin was absolutely the best! He was responsive, kind, and so easy to work with. Our baby Salem adored him and loved having a new furry best friend to play with. We always felt she was safe and cared for, and we appreciated the thoughtful updates along the way. When we’re back, we’ll definitely book with Benjamin again and recommend him to all our friends with furry babies. Thank you, Benjamin, for being so wonderful and for accommodating us on such short notice!”
“Lori is my favorite sitter! She is thoughtful, trustworthy, and overall takes great care of my dogs. She was also communicative about my dogs behavior while they were with her, and she was very patient with one of my dogs misbehaving a little. I can rest easy whenever my dogs are with her!”
“Pam was great with our dog Bentley! She was easy to communicate with from day one, clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was a bonus for me that Bentley got to spend time with her dog Xotchil and they went to a dog park daily. I would highly recommend Pam to others and I’m sure we’ll use her in the future again.”
