“This was Willow’s second time staying with Araceli, and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to come home! Araceli is the best, her manner with pups and her joyfulness with being a sitter is what makes me effortlessly comfortable to leave my Willow with her. Willow loves her “Tia” and she’ll be back!”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
“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.”
“Cerita is so accommodating and sweet with Indy. We felt so comfortable leaving him for the night. We got updates and photos, he had so much fun! Indy would love to come back and visit!”
“This was our second time trusting Holly with our furbaby! She is always on time, communicates right away, and sends several daily updates so we never have to worry. It puts our minds completely at ease when we are missing our pup. Thank you, Holly, for being an awesome dog sitter!”
“Pilar is amazing, so sweet and kind! She did a great job with my older girl, Nala. They went on daily walks and she roamed out in the back yard. Pilar is super attentive and just a great person to care for your pup. Don’t hesitate to book, I’m very grateful I didn’t 😊”
“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!”
“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!”
“Overall, we had a good experience. They were able to accommodate our dog on very short notice, which we really appreciated. Erlinda was quick to respond, her daughter was easy to work with, and our dog was well taken care of. We’re grateful they were able to help us out last minute and would consider using them again.”
“I highly recommend Jessica! She was amazing from the start. She was quick to respond to my late minute request. I was worried about leaving him alone without his little buddy ( our other dog) but I could tell Jessica made him feel loved and comfortable. I could also tell he enjoyed his stay with her. She sent lot of photos reassuring me that he was in good hands. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. Thank you for taking good care of our fur baby for us.!”
“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.”
“Jessica took such great care of my dog. He got along well with the other pets in the home and I got daily updates while I was away. I highly recommend and will be having Jessica sit my dog again in the future!”
“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!”
“Damariz is amazing! A true dog lover. My dog had a fantastic stay with her. I felt my dog was safe the entire time and was able to take a vacation without any worries. Was able to get photo updates from her and Philipp was taken care of the entire time.”

About: As a full-time retired “dog grandpa,” I’ve spent over 50 years caring for dogs of every shape, size, and personality. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pups just like my own. I currently share my home with a friendly spaniel mix who loves making new friends and helps create a warm, social atmosphere for visiting dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and happiest when I’m surrounded by wagging tails. From energetic youngsters to sweet seniors, I know how to keep each dog comfortable, confident, and cared for. Now that I’m fully retired, caring for pets has become one of the most enjoyable parts of my day. I’m home most of the time, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, and peaceful company throughout the day. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, and my open schedule allows me to keep your pet’s routine steady morning strolls, afternoon cuddles, or extra playtime, whatever they need. My home is set up with pets in mind. I have a secure fenced backyard with a large pet door so dogs can safely go in and out for fresh air and play. My spaniel mix is friendly and loves having canine company. We take daily walks to nearby parks, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and stretching those legs. Inside the house, pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel comfortable and yes, that includes the furniture. I provide a calm, supervised, and cozy environment, and I’m experienced with crates, medications, special diets, and supporting dogs with different energy levels or routines. Your dog will be treated like a cherished family member with all the gentle attention, structure, and warmth you’d expect from a loving retired grandpa.

“Hooli had a great doggy day care with Shane and Chris! It was our first time leaving our 7.5month old puppy and I could tell she was in good hands. We received lots of photos and updates which put mind at ease!”
About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, including an Akita, an English Bulldog, and currently my 6-year-old French Bulldog. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and over the years I've regularly watched and cared for family members' dogs while they're away on vacation. My home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy a calm, relaxed environment. My French Bulldog is very laid-back and spends most of her day lounging, napping, and soaking up the sun. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can run around, play, get their zoomies out, or simply relax and enjoy being outside. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet place to unwind, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care throughout their stay. I work from home, which allows me to spend most of my day with the dogs in my care. Aside from occasional trips to the gym or running errands, I am home throughout the week and able to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to give dogs the attention and consistency they need to feel comfortable and at home. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I share my home with my boyfriend and our 6-year-old French Bulldog, who is friendly, relaxed, and enjoys spending her days lounging and sunbathing. We have a quiet, low-stress home environment that is ideal for dogs who enjoy both playtime and downtime. Our large backyard provides plenty of space for dogs to run, explore, burn off energy, or simply relax in the sun. I closely supervise outdoor time and always follow each dog's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions provided by their owners. I understand that every dog is unique, and I work to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they're away from home. I treat every dog in my care like they're part of the family and provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.
“Amazing! Worked with me in a pinch and kept her overnight last minute for me. Sent me updates and pictures of honey. She did well with the other dog she was keeping too. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Kaitlin and Verle are great, they’re very nice and communicative. My puppy enjoyed his day there and you can tell they care about giving your dog the best day possible with them. I’d recommend them!”
“Chau was so helpful with our two dogs and very patient with our anxious one. She was so communicative and updated us with pictures multiple times a day. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“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.”
About: I am a full time dog mom with a high energy Australian Shepherd. I’m very patient and I spoil my dog like my child so I know how important trust is when someone leaves their dog in your care, so I will always provide regular photo and video updates. I’ll love your dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I’m a full time dog mom, so caring for pups is built into my routine. From daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities to snuggles and healthy meals, I structure my days around keeping dogs happy, safe, and well loved. Adding another furry friend to our routine just means more tail wags, more fun, and more love to give! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and part of the pack. I follow their usual routines closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and anything else that helps them feel at home. If your dog is staying with me and gets along well with others, I love taking them to the park to play with my own dog for some extra exercise and social fun! Every pet gets personalized attention, plenty of love, and a cozy, stress free environment.
“Azalea took good care of my dog with separation anxiety who currently can't be left alone. She always communicated promptly, kept me updated with photos, all went well. My dog will be back!”
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
“It was clear that our 2 year old pup had a great time playing with Jessica's dog all day. She passed out on the couch right after dinner with no interest in training or treats, she was that tired (which we love for her). We look forward to having Jessica care for her more in the future.”
“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!”

“One of our dogs is very wary of new people and takes a long time to warm up to them. Not with Kali. She met him once before we left on vacation. Her first walk it took him 2 blocks to chill out. After that he was so stoked to see her and leave the house with her. Dogs came back so happy and fully exercised. Highly recommend. Will 100% use her again.”
About: I have always loved animals and currently have a pug named Finn, who is a huge part of my life. I previously had two dogs and have had many other pets throughout the years as well.

“I am so grateful to Monique, she did such a great job helping to take care of our Yoyo while we were out of town. My dog is not always easy but took right to Monique. She kept me updated and sent me photos. Especially when you are out of town it is so important to know someone is taking such good care of your pet. I will definitely be reaching out to Monique again and appreciate her so much.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years. While also having my own at some points in life while I currently do not have any pets now I would love to spend some of my time helping people with their pets. I currently have a full time job but I am available most days any time after 3pm and some weekends. I’ m not very busy after work so that’s why I want to start taking care of some pets. I live in a house which has its own yard so I have plenty of room for dogs to play and run around. But I prefer to just help other take their dogs out when they are busy
About: I’ve had pets and taken care of them since I was a kid. Whenever I’ve had pets I always have treated them like if they were my babies and I don’t just care them as animals. I love treating them really good and making them happy. I currently working every day except Thursdays and Fridays. I always get out as 6 and I don’t have a lot of daily after work activities so I just spent a lot of time at home with my own fur baby.

I have a natural warmth that almost all animals can sense and immediately create lifelong friendships. Always positive and plan to give your pets the most exemplary sitting experience known to man. I am willing to study or brush up on specific requirements depending on the animals in my care. I am very active and love to run. So I can run with your dogs or walk them, whichever you prefer. Also have tons of energy to play and make them sleepy and relaxed. Currently I work as an independent contractor building a financial brokerage and do Lyft on the side in my free time. So my schedule is my own and would love to find regular clients who have pets that would want some love and attention when their owners have work or trips that they can’t bring them along for. My roommate has own dog personally who I always look out for and make sure he is taken care of with water and food if necessary. HI’s girlfriend who lives here with us as well has two smaller dogs and two cats as well that I make sure are all in well standard of living when I am home and notice they need something.

I also take them on walks if my roommate does not have time with his mobile mechanic business.

Why I love Pet sitting: I have always been an animal lover and have even made a career out of it! Being a house sitter is one of my favorite parts of being a pet sitter because it allows pets to feel more at ease, have less separation anxiety, and feel comfortable sticking to their normal routine. You'll come home to the happy and healthy pets you had when you left! My experience administering medication * Giving your pet oral medications (pills or liquid) * Giving injections - SQ fluids, Insulin, ect. * Applying medications in your dogs eyes and ears * Applying topical medications, flush and cleaning wounds * Recognizing, Understanding, and Handling Emergency situations Caring for pets is what I do full-time!

About: Hello! I'm Charlie I've been working for over 15 years taking care of children and on occasion, pets. I'm hoping to add more animals to my life as I am finishing my RN-BSN, the stress relief and excuse to get outside that furry friends offer is immeasurable! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs as an occasional sitter/walker and home co-habitant and have had a wonderful feisty cat for over 14 years. (She stays at home unless otherwise specified) I have the most experience with middle aged to older dogs, and manage to win over even the most tentative of furry family members. (I'm also shy, so I attribute it to mutual awkwardness.) I have experience giving eye drops, disguising medication's as treats (or convincing stubbon animals to take medication) and I am experienced in giving injections. I'm more comfortable and experienced with medium and larger dogs , cats of all sizes and temperaments (but i will not turn down the opportunity to make a small dog, bunny, scaley or feathered friend!) . I've experienced some mischievous puppy antics that have led to my finding out that I can keep level headed in an emergency. As I mentioned above, I work in childcare, so I have experience performing work unsupervised in other peoples' homes, am a nurse working on my BSN (so background checks are no issue) and can provide necessary references if requested to ensure my trustworthiness. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about me and my experience. Thank you. I'm currently in school part-time for my BSN while searching for new grad RN positions and helping out with a local nursing association. I have a flexible schedule and can often work around your needs. I usually housesit In a client's home while they are away, but am open to drop-ins. I try and follow a furry friend's routine as closely as possible and if I can't on a day, I make sure that they always get enough potty breaks and adjust walks accordingly. I do tend to take the longest walks in the AM (30-45 min) + before bed (30-1 hr) with shorter 15-30 min "potty" walks during the day . I take into account their needs (feeding/medication/b&b evacuation times) & normal excursion times and my schedule and plan the week out in advance. Written instructions help me with daily tasks or pet personality quirks if they are more set in their ways. I'm happy to water plants, gather mail, take out trash and am comfortable communicating with vendors (repair, pest control etc) if they need to visit when you are away. I treat the home better than I treat my own and aim to maintain (or exceed) the level of cleanliness that existed when I arrived. I'm not shy when it comes to vacuuming, laundering linens & pet bedding as needed while I am staying.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and small pets since childhood and have 7 years of formal pet/house-sitting experience in San Diego, including daily walks, medication administration, and senior-pet care. I’m calm, punctual, and used to following detailed routines and owner instructions while keeping homes clean and secure. As a certified calisthenics trainer and wellness coach I bring stamina for long walks, reliable energy for active dogs, and a respectful, low-impact presence in homes; I’m happy to provide references and a video call before booking. My schedule is flexible, and I can give pets consistent care throughout the day. I’m usually available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, with enough time for walks, play, feeding, and check-ins. I prioritize a calm, clean, and safe environment for every pet. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, respect home rules, and make sure pets feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
“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.”
“Cerita is so accommodating and sweet with Indy. We felt so comfortable leaving him for the night. We got updates and photos, he had so much fun! Indy would love to come back and visit!”
“This was our second time trusting Holly with our furbaby! She is always on time, communicates right away, and sends several daily updates so we never have to worry. It puts our minds completely at ease when we are missing our pup. Thank you, Holly, for being an awesome dog sitter!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Overall, we had a good experience. They were able to accommodate our dog on very short notice, which we really appreciated. Erlinda was quick to respond, her daughter was easy to work with, and our dog was well taken care of. We’re grateful they were able to help us out last minute and would consider using them again.”
“I highly recommend Jessica! She was amazing from the start. She was quick to respond to my late minute request. I was worried about leaving him alone without his little buddy ( our other dog) but I could tell Jessica made him feel loved and comfortable. I could also tell he enjoyed his stay with her. She sent lot of photos reassuring me that he was in good hands. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. Thank you for taking good care of our fur baby for us.!”
“Jessica took such great care of my dog. He got along well with the other pets in the home and I got daily updates while I was away. I highly recommend and will be having Jessica sit my dog again in the future!”
“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!”
“Ami treated my boys well and kept me updated as one of them was having trouble adjusting to a new location. I really appreciate her patience and graciousness in caring for the boys. They both came home healthy, happy, and worn out. I’d definitely recommend Ami to other pet parents.”
“Maryjane did absolutely amazing with my pup! Constantly sending me videos and pictures with little notes on how everything is going!!!! Definitely put my mind at ease knowing she cared and he had 3 playmates at all time:)”
“This was our first experience using the Rover app and I have to say it is one of the best apps ever created! Without it, we would have never met Vanessa! She was quick to respond & really had a connection to both Myself & Maggie. Maggie had a great play date with lots of attention, treats, & play time to help reduce her separation anxiety. We will definitely be using Vanessa again soon for all daycare/weekend trips!”
“We left our much-loved standard poodle, Murray with Melanie for a week that ended yesterday. She took excellent care of Murray and provided a few photos during his stay. We could see in the photos he was healthy and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog in her care. She has a very sweet dog who accepted Murray right into the mix and they got along well. She walked Murray daily and followed my instructions for feed and care. We were very pleased with everything she did. I highly recommend Melanie.”
“Claudia is amazing! She is very thoughtful, considerate, and detail-oriented when it comes to dog sitting/boarding. My senior pups loved her. Highly recommended!”
“Anar took wonderful care of our dog Ace for a full 8 days during Christmas and the new year. She kept us updated daily with pictures and how he was doing. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“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!”
