“Xochitl did such a great job caring for my dog Salt!! She sent daily check ins and photos and she also had great flexibility when my flight home was very delayed. I would definitely book again.”
“Highly recommend! Like every dog mom I’m paranoid leaving my pup but I didn’t even worry when he was with Thi and Richard! They sent amazing pictures and plenty of updates through the whole time. We will be using again!!”
“Shelby and her family were kind enough to allow my pup to spend the holidays with them. She is an energetic dog, so knowing she was being taken on walks, runs, to the dog park, etc. meant so much! If you’re looking for your pup to get lots of love and playtime, highly recommend Shelby!”
“Julia was absolutely AMAZING with my dogs—I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She took care of both my 8-year-old and my 1.5-year-old pups, for for nights and from start to finish, she went above and beyond. Before the stay, she allowed a meet-and-greet two weeks in advance so we could make sure our dogs (and hers!) were a good fit, which gave me so much peace of mind. While I was away, Julia sent multiple pictures every single day and kept me updated with daily texts. It made such a difference knowing how they were doing and seeing them happy and comfortable as this was our puppy's first time away from us. I’ll admit, I was a little hesitant at first since she didn’t have a ton of reviews—but WOW, she completely exceeded all expectations. She was also super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything so convenient. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, communicative, and truly treats your pets like her own, Julia is the one. I will 100% be booking with her again!”
“This is the second time Errol has stayed with Clint. He takes excellent care of Errol genuinely cares for the dog in his care. Communication was excellent sent video’s daily and responded to texts quickly. I highly recommend Clint!!!!!!”
“Apple was great and her pups quickly became buddies with my dog. Thanks Apple for taking such good care of Oreo and making him feel happy and at home for our/his vacation.”
“Outstanding pet sitter. Kept us updated at all times on our baby’s status. Huge plus was her prior experience with bully breeds and their various, mysterious ways. Felt comfortable right away after leaving her behind. Jocy is super detail oriented and very attentive to all doggie needs. We would absolutely book her again. 100% recommend. Thanks Jocy!”
“Emily and Steven are wonderful dog sitters! My dog can get a bit anxious while I’m away, but she was very calm and happy when I picked her up and almost didn’t want to leave. They were very attentive with Raina, taking her on nature walks, playing in the backyard and giving her lots of snuggles and sending me photos and updates. Their son Aiden was great with her too and loved to play with her! Raina got so much attention and love here, I will definitely be bringing her back. I highly recommend Emily & Steven for any pet sitting, especially for a fur baby who needs extra love and attention. Thank you!!”
“Kate was awesome! She provided photos and commentary on every aspect of their day. Quickly to respond and let us be flexible with pick up day when our flight was delayed, would definitely recommend and rebook with her in the future!”
“He’s great! My dog Nova loved it there and looked so happy in all the pictures he sent. He played with her and even gave her some training. Was very responsive and very understanding.”
“Alexis was great! She sent a lot of photos and videos to make us feel at ease. Bruno had a blast playing with her dogs in the backyard. Her beds looked comfy and all went well. Thank you@”
“Alegra was absolutely amazing with Penny during her 6-night stay! Penny is a messy eater/drinker and also needs medicine twice a day, and Alegra handled everything with so much care and patience. She sent multiple photos and updates every day, which made me feel like Penny was truly loved and in great hands the entire time. Alegra is a genuinely nice person, incredibly attentive, and took the time to do a warm and welcoming meet-and-greet beforehand that immediately put us at ease. She was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which I really appreciated. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I couldn’t recommend Alegra more and we will definitely book with her again!”
“Samantha and her girls took excellent care of my dog. She was extremely responsive and attentive to even the small details that made my pup comfortable. Will definitely book with her again.”
“The minute we met Hana, something told us our dog Pollie would receive excellent care. And she did! Every day Hana sent videos of Pollie reassuring us that all was well. (We hadn’t left her in the care of someone else in the past 9 years.) Without a doubt we would trust Hana to care for Pollie again in the future.”
“Sarah and Taylor were so attentive to our dog Honey! They provided consistent updates throughout her stay with fun pictures of her and Mango. We felt so comfortable having them watch Honey while we were out of town!”
“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!”
“Madeira and Dean were amazing and our pups had the best time. Exhausted when they got home, pictures and updates throughout the weekend + a backyard they got romp in all weekend.”

“Kristianna was great with Athena. Athena LOVED her. Kristianna also sent me pictures every day and was really good with communication. Will definitely hire again!”
“Jaylynne took fantastic care of our elder kitty during her check-ins. She was quick to let us know when there was an issue with our cats food bowl, and resolved it just as fast. She provided detailed updates and plenty of photos, making sure to let us know how kitty was doing. Couldn't be happier with her service.”
“Hazel was AMAZING! Our pups were in such great hands and she was so communicative through the entire process, we will definitely be using her for our dog sitting needs again! She was so gentle and gracious, even sitting with our more anxious bernadoodle at meal times to make sure she was comfortable and bringing approved treats over for our pets! We are so grateful for her and our dogs are looking forward to seeing her again!!”
“Krystal was wonderful! So kind and responsible, she took fantastic care of my cat, who needs special care and medication. Krystal clearly has experience with animals and knew exactly how to approach my shy kitty so that my cat immediately loved her! She also sent pictures and regular updates of her visits. I would definitely book her again :)”
About: Hello!! My name is Tamara, I’m a 21 year old college student who has always had a passion for animals. I’ve cared for family and friends pets of all sizes and personalities whether it’s overnight stays, daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering basic care. Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide photo updates so you can have peace of mind. I am currently working a part time job with an unset schedule. My usual schedule consists of only a few hours a week giving me a lot of free time throughout the week to fit attention, care and energy into your pet. For each pet I will try to provide the best care with the tools at the clients home. I will focus on the overall safety, health and happiness for each pet. That would consist of providing appropriate meals as instructed, taking them on walks, engaging them in play, and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and affection. I maintain a clean, comfortable environment and follow any specific routines or care instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress free while in my care.
“Taryn was great! She kept me informed throughout my trip and it made me feel at ease that Athena was getting such good care from Taryn. Would definitely hire again!”
“This is the second time we used Lynn and she does a great job in caring for our two senior cats, one of which is almost 19. It's really important to have someone you can depend on to provide great care.”
“Riley did such a great job with our kitties while we were away! I loved all the photos every day, she gave them lots of snuggles & played with energetic boy kitties a bunch! & She did great at cleaning up their crazy messes after they knocked lots of plants over which was very much appreciated! It was great know they were in good hands while we were out of town! Will be booking again😊”
“Catherine was really great with the animals and I would highly recommend having her watch your pets! She was really accommodating to my last-minute request, and helped out while I was out of town. She even sent pictures of my animals and made sure to check in. I would definitely rebook her for future visits”
About: I have had animals in my household since I was born from dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, fish and geckos. I recently had my English bulldog (Bentley) pass after 13 years together. He had many unique needs over his life including requiring additional care over the last few months. I also volunteer with Southern California Bulldog Rescue and have cared for foster dogs as well as pulled dogs from shelter. Animals are family to me and not just a pet. I am currently studying to change careers so I have full availability to assist with the care of your animals. I look forward to working with you. I have a single family home with a fenced front and back yard. There is a doggy door installed if your dog is familiar with them otherwise I can close it if you prefer. When caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home with respect and ensure it is in the same condition as when I arrived. I also have my real estate license and will ensure everything is locked and secured when I am not at the property.
“Grateful to Samantha for being able to care for our two cats when we went out of town. This was our second time booking Samantha and we would continue to hire her in the future!”
“Kitty Chanel received excellent care and attention, as always. Kitty loves Alexis and is always happy to see her. I will continue to use Alexis as my cat sitter. She is the best!”
About: I have grown up my whole life caring for dogs, puppies, and kittens. I love animals and would love to meet yours! I want to get into dog sitting part time. I am working part time while still in school. So I can be flexible but may not be available all the time unfortunately. Mondays are best :) I live with my family and we have a nice backyard fully gated off safely and securely for pets as my dad owns a fencing business. I have three dogs of my own.

“Kate provided a safe and comfortable home for our 2 pups while we explored San Diego. They were exhausted after playing all day. We will use Kate again when we need a dog sitter in the area.”
“Julia did a wonderful job with my Bo! She also lives in a beautiful spot with plenty of outdoor space to roam around. She sent plenty of pictures including ones cuddling with her son who was also great with him!”

“Rasha was amazing and went above and beyond for Coco washing her bed after she has an accident and sending lots of photos. I would definitely use Rasha again and can tell she’s a dog lover, not someone just in it for the income.”
About: NEW CLIENTS PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING 1. Bookings and Meet & Greets must be scheduled at least two weeks prior to requested booking dates. I do not take last-minute bookings. 2. To help me provide the best care, please ensure your pet’s profile includes all important basic information. 3. Stays longer than 4 days (new clients) require a complimentary 2-3 hour trial (usually a weekend) to ensure a good fit with our dog and time away from the owner. 4. Due to the presence of neighboring walls, we are unable to accept pets that exhibit barking/whining behavior (when we leave the house) to prevent potential noise complaints. 5. Dogs must be crate-trained or comfortable staying in a designated open space with a gate (only when we are away from the house or for overnight sleeping). 6. Proof of updated vaccinations is required. 7. Drop-off and pick-up times must be exact; no time windows. 8. We may be away for up to 4 hours on weekends; your pet must be comfortable being alone during that time. 9. Please note that we have a senior dog, Sophie, and we typically board only one guest dog at a time (about 99% of the time). This allows us to provide your dog with focused care, attention, and a calm environment during their stay. ----HOURS OF OPERATION---- SUN- THURS: 8 AM - 9:30 PM FRI-SAT: 8 AM - 10 PM ** NEW CLIENT drop-offs are not accepted after 6:30PM.* We want your pet to have time to settle in.

I know being away from your pet can be tough, so I’ll make sure to send you updates and pictures to keep you connected ☺️.

I’ve been a dog momma for a little over 25 years now (since I was a young child). I grew up being surrounded by dogs and have experience working with different breeds of all sizes.

“Laryssa took excellent care of our two older lady-pups. She was very sweet and attentive with the dogs and kept me updated throughout the day. I had a couple changes with my work schedule and she was very flexible and supportive of changing drop-off/ pick-up times. Thank you!!”
“Asher sees Dean & co two to three times a week and loves it. I know he loves it because he whines in excitement when we pull up and jumps out of the car to get inside- best $$ I spend all week.”
“My precious PugZ took an immediate liking to Rachelle. She sent plenty of pictures and updates. I’d definitely have Rachelle care for PugZ again and highly recommend her services”

“Xochitl did an amazing job with our two pugs! Pugs are needy and she handled them brilliantly. She was patient and understanding even though they were more to handle than her usual dogs. I will book with her again, if she'll have us!”
About: Walking dogs isn’t a job it’s a blessing. I have two friendly dogs and a rabbit that would love another friend. All pets are 3 years old and super friendly with animals and kids. I’m a student full time with a lot of free time. My schedule is pretty open 7 days a week. If I’m not available my roommate who also does Rover with me is available. I always have a good situational awareness indoors and outdoors. Any pet I’m with I’ll always have by my side to play with and to train.
“She was compassionate, thoughtful and considerate. She sent us the cutest pic to put our minds at ease while we spent the day at the zoo until it was time to check into put rooms. I am very happy and grateful that something like this exists. I was also pleased that she didn’t have any restrictions like spayed/neutered only. Two thumbs up! :)”
“Lynn took great care of Bagel. She sent us plenty of pictures throughout the day and we could see that Bagel was being well cared for and happy. I loved getting the report card at the end of the visit. This was a fantastic experience thanks to Lynn.”
“Benny loves it at Gabrielle & Matthew's! Their house and yard is doggy heaven. Lots of space to roam, play, and sniff. He loves their two shepherds. They all seem to get along, and they are good influences on Benny, as they are so well behaved. Benny always comes home happy and tired. Couldn't ask for more!”

About: I work from home most days, so your precious pup will receive uninterrupted attention. 🐶❤️ I don't have a dog of my own yet, so having your adorable furry friend at my place will absolutely make my day! 🥰 At my cozy, smoke-free condo, your dog will enjoy a fantastic time, filled with play, pampering, and cuddles. We'll go for leisurely walks and engage in playtime as needed. Plus, I'll make sure to send you adorable photo updates so you can see all the fun! Whether your dog is active or enjoys a relaxing day, they'll receive the care and affection they need. Please let me know what makes your dog happiest and if you have any specific concerns. I'd be thrilled to welcome them into my clean and comfy home. Working from home most days allows me to be readily available to play with your pups and provide the care and attention necessary to keep them content and joyful. I normally take care of one pet at a time or multiple pets from the same household. In some occasions I could have multiple pets only if the situation permits. I live in a condo that features a small balcony and is situated within a spacious condominium complex, providing space for me to take your furry companion for walks every few hours. I usually care for one pet at a time or multiple pets from the same household. Occasionally, I may look after multiple pets from different households, depending on the situation and the dogs’ ability to get along with other dogs.
About: We are a dog family, and getting to play, walk, and cuddle with dogs is truly one of the best jobs in the world! I’m a scientist and work part-time during the week, and my husband is a registered nurse. We work opposite part-time shifts, so someone is almost always home to give your pup attention, care, and companionship. We also have a 10-year-old son who absolutely loves animals and enjoys gentle, respectful interaction with dogs who are comfortable around children. He is always supervised and adds an extra bit of joy and playfulness for social pups. We’ve raised and fostered many dogs over the years and love helping them become happy, well-behaved family members. We believe in patient, positive-only reinforcement and creating a calm, loving environment for every dog in our care. We have a large, open home with a spacious shady fenced backyard that backs up to a peaceful nature area, giving dogs plenty of room to relax, play, and explore safely. Feel free to reach out for any of your dog care needs — I’d be happy to help! I take my pup on scheduled walks 2–3 times a day, and we also have a fully enclosed backyard where dogs can safely roam, play, and take potty breaks throughout the day as needed. My pup has free range of the house while we’re home. If I need to step out briefly, I simply close the bedroom and bathroom doors so there is access only to the safe common areas of the home.

About: I absolutely love dogs and have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, I always had pets, and I cared for my own Westie for 16 wonderful years.

“Alexis was GREAT! Very attentive to all my pets and patient with all my many instructions. Very professional , detail oriented and definitely an animal lover. Thank you Alexis for an awesome job!”
About: Hi there! I’m a mom of two wonderful kids, ages 8 and 11. We have two chickens and recently adopted two cats. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by just about every type of animal imaginable, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. If you’re looking for overnight care, your pet will need to be comfortable around children, as my kids are very involved in our family life and love animals. My 8-year-old is especially passionate about animals and quickly becomes best friends with any dog who stays with us! I know that isn’t the right fit for every pet, so I like to be upfront about our home environment. I currently work part-time both in and out of the home, and the longest I am typically gone is about 3 hours. My schedule is flexible, and I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care. We live in a house with a large fenced yard, grass to play on, a built-in doggy door that can be locked if needed, and secure fencing ranging from 4–6 feet high with a double gate. We also live near a canyon trailhead and enjoy regular walks throughout the week. Our pets are family, and any pet staying with us will be treated the same way. They’ll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Having dogs around has been such a wonderful addition to our family, and we truly enjoy welcoming them into our home. We look forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐾❤️ We have had a variety of animals over the years, and growing up on a farm, caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. From feeding and cleaning up after them to making sure they feel safe and loved, animal care comes naturally to me. Having a dog in our family has been a wonderful addition, and I enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds and personalities. Any dog we watch is welcome to sleep and relax wherever they feel most comfortable. We’ve cared for dogs with all different preferences—some prefer their crate, some sleep next to my bed, and others have happily curled up on my kids’ beds. We always make sure fresh water is available and carefully follow any feeding or dietary instructions provided. Daily walks are included at a minimum, and we adjust playtime and activity levels to match each dog’s personality and needs. Our goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.

“This is the second time Errol has stayed with Clint. He takes excellent care of Errol genuinely cares for the dog in his care. Communication was excellent sent video’s daily and responded to texts quickly. I highly recommend Clint!!!!!!”
“Outstanding pet sitter. Kept us updated at all times on our baby’s status. Huge plus was her prior experience with bully breeds and their various, mysterious ways. Felt comfortable right away after leaving her behind. Jocy is super detail oriented and very attentive to all doggie needs. We would absolutely book her again. 100% recommend. Thanks Jocy!”
“Emily and Steven are wonderful dog sitters! My dog can get a bit anxious while I’m away, but she was very calm and happy when I picked her up and almost didn’t want to leave. They were very attentive with Raina, taking her on nature walks, playing in the backyard and giving her lots of snuggles and sending me photos and updates. Their son Aiden was great with her too and loved to play with her! Raina got so much attention and love here, I will definitely be bringing her back. I highly recommend Emily & Steven for any pet sitting, especially for a fur baby who needs extra love and attention. Thank you!!”
“Kate was awesome! She provided photos and commentary on every aspect of their day. Quickly to respond and let us be flexible with pick up day when our flight was delayed, would definitely recommend and rebook with her in the future!”
“He’s great! My dog Nova loved it there and looked so happy in all the pictures he sent. He played with her and even gave her some training. Was very responsive and very understanding.”
“Alexis was great! She sent a lot of photos and videos to make us feel at ease. Bruno had a blast playing with her dogs in the backyard. Her beds looked comfy and all went well. Thank you@”
“Alegra was absolutely amazing with Penny during her 6-night stay! Penny is a messy eater/drinker and also needs medicine twice a day, and Alegra handled everything with so much care and patience. She sent multiple photos and updates every day, which made me feel like Penny was truly loved and in great hands the entire time. Alegra is a genuinely nice person, incredibly attentive, and took the time to do a warm and welcoming meet-and-greet beforehand that immediately put us at ease. She was also very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which I really appreciated. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I couldn’t recommend Alegra more and we will definitely book with her again!”
“Samantha and her girls took excellent care of my dog. She was extremely responsive and attentive to even the small details that made my pup comfortable. Will definitely book with her again.”
“The minute we met Hana, something told us our dog Pollie would receive excellent care. And she did! Every day Hana sent videos of Pollie reassuring us that all was well. (We hadn’t left her in the care of someone else in the past 9 years.) Without a doubt we would trust Hana to care for Pollie again in the future.”
“Sarah and Taylor were so attentive to our dog Honey! They provided consistent updates throughout her stay with fun pictures of her and Mango. We felt so comfortable having them watch Honey while we were out of town!”
“Madeira and Dean were amazing and our pups had the best time. Exhausted when they got home, pictures and updates throughout the weekend + a backyard they got romp in all weekend.”
“Yankee had an amazing time with Caroline! Both Caroline and her partner took care yankee as if he was one of their own. They sent daily pictures and updates and made me feel very comfortable with leaving my pup in their home. Lots of play time and walks!! They are for sure my number one choice and will use them in the future!!”
“We just left our two dogs with Sam for a 4 night stay and they seemed to have loved it! Sam really takes the time to interact with the dogs and exercise them. They almost didn't want to come home - that's a huge testiment to Sam's level of care. He will be our sitter from here on out!”
“William, his wife, and their dog Roux were the PERFECT dog sitters for my girl Emma! I was instantly comfortable with them during the meet-and-greet. Emma was also immediately comfortable in their home. They were very focused on making sure they had all the information needed to make Emma's stay with them a positive experience. Emma and Roux became quick friends. During the four days I was away, I received multiple text messages and photos of Emma doing well in their home. I will DEFINITELY hire them again for future trips.”
“I can't recommend Jason highly enough for dog boarding! My dog, Nova, stayed with him and his lovely family for two weeks, and I was genuinely impressed. I received regular updates, complete with pictures and videos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. Not only did Jason provide excellent care, but he also took the time to do some training with Nova, which I appreciate immensely. As a thoughtful touch, he even gave Nova some gifts and a gift card, showing his kindness and dedication. Thank you, Jason, for taking such great care of my baby. Nova had a fantastic time, and I’ll definitely bring him back!”
“Highly recommended! My 12 year old Husky Zeus had a great time while I was out of town. I was updated along the way and sent pictures of him enjoying his self. Will definitely use Kylie and Anthony again in the near future!”
“Second time booking with LeeAnn! I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my Zoey- she always takes such great care of her! Loved all the picture and video updates. Will book again for sure!”
“very happy with the boarding we had with Alyssa. She was the perfect amount of communicative and sent photos daily with how my dog was doing. I know my dog had a great time as well since she knocked out as soon as she got home from all the fun she had”
