“Nia was very responsive and flexible with my drop off and arrival times. I enjoyed the daily updates. She even had a gift bag when I picked up Duke. I would definitely recommend Nia.”
“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!”

“Michell w was absolutely incredible and made Boogie feel right at home. I received a lot of cool video updates of my little guy and Michelle was juts excellent& super flexible. I will absolutely be booking with Michelle again and you should too!”

“Beasley loves staying with Michelle and her husband. He is always so relaxed when we pick him up. I can tell he is well loved in their care. Michelle follows all of our instructions and sends daily updates. Highly recommend”

“Susie and Galen did is awesome job watching our two pups. We were gonna for almost three weeks and we knew the entire time they were well cared for. Highly recommend them to watch your fur babies”

“I will definitely be returning when onderful, caring and understanding. Josh was very welcoming of P-Nut and I. Josh helped me with P-Nut's bag and crate - and also allowed me to come by earlier, at 4 am in the morning! Josh showed P-Nut immense compassion and love.”


“Lisa took incredible care of my pup and I felt completely worry free on my trip knowing he was in good hands. She sent daily updates and I could tell he was happy and well pampered 🥰 I would definitely trust her with Cannoli again!”


“We’ve been frequent flyers with Todd and Bill now for over a year. They have always been so welcoming of our little puppers and so loving with them. It’s scary leaving a furry friend behind so finding the right person to care for them like you would yourself is important. I love how happy my pups are when they come back from a pawcation😄they are so happy Zane tired. A tired dog.. is a happy dog.. very glad I found them!”

“Cassie stepped in at the last minute after another sitter canceled and she did an amazing job with my anxious/reactive pup! She kept me updated with photos and did well with our somewhat tricky medication schedule. I especially loved that she had a large crate in case Winnie needed alone time, but she also gave lots of snuggles on the couch. One of the biggest perks though is that she was able to play fetch in her backyard as a way to give Winnie attention and exercise while avoiding other dog interactions (she has dog-related reactivity issues). Winnie was happy and relaxed when I returned. We’d definitely recommend Cassie to others!”

“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 😊”


“Diana is a great pup sitter! Everything went smoothly from drop off to pick up and my dog was very warm and cuddley with her which shows me she took the time to bond with my (somewhat shy) pup. Can’t ask for much more!”

“Melinda is so kind and welcoming and our dog Doug felt right at home! She is responsive and very knowledgeable with pets. We highly recommend Melinda and will work with her again.”

“We’ve never left our dog Chai with anyone other than family and we’re a bit hesitant about leaving her for a few days. When dropping Chai off, Brittany instantly made us feel so comfortable and reassured us that our dog would be just fine. Chai took a liking to Brittany very quickly. Brittany was so good at keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and a quick update with how Chai was doing and what they had been up too. They went on walks at least twice a day and cuddled (Chai’s favorite). When it was time to pick Chai up we could tell Brittany and Chai had bonded. We are pleased to have met Brittany and highly recommend her to anyone who is in the San Diego area or coming from out of town like us and needing someone who is truly trusting and felt like we were leaving our Chai with family. We will most definitely be looking Brittany up if we are back in the San Diego area in the future.”

“Janet was amazing and an absolute godsend. I came to San Diego on a trip and my plans changed at least 3-4x. Through it all, Janet was super communicative and accommodating and constantly worked around my scheduling changes. She frequently sent updates and pictures. My pup Mishka was in great hands and had a ton of playtime everyday and had the best time staying with Janet! Mishka was clearly very happy and well looked after the whole time at her house. I would come back to Janet again and again for any dog sitting or boarding!”

“Cole was great with sending updates and pictures! He made sure foxy was getting all the attention she needed. High recommend Cole and I would book again!”

“Amanda took such great care of my dog for me and he certainly isn’t an easy one as he has his little quirks that people have to be aware of. All of these updates and photos she sent me really made me feel like roo was apart of their family while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Vanessa is the best! Our puppy, Ume was extremely well taken care of. She was so sweet to our dog, friendly and professional. We received so many update pictures so I felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her. I would definitely recommend Vanessa!”

“Chelsea is the best!! We have never had a single issue or concern with Chelsea in the last year of her being the primary sitter for our two kitties. Leo and Stitch absolutely love when Chelsea comes over, and we will miss her so much as we move out of town! She always sends lots of pictures too, which is a huge plus!”


“Brittany was amazing and took such great care of our kitties! She sent lots of pics and it was clear they were super happy and comfortable around her! She will definitely be who we book from here on out!!”

“Bella was quick to respond and helped us out on short notice! Came by for a meet and greet the day before, and was communicative the next day for the visit. Thank you!! I’m not sure the start/stop times on Rover were accurate, because the texts came in before the visit start, but might have been a glitch in the app.”

“Rachel has been so reliable and our kitties thoroughly enjoy her visits with all the playtime she provides! We will definitely continue using her for drop-in visits.”


“I had to go out of town last minute and Destiny was responsive and flexible. She always does an amazing job taking care of my Cleo! I appreciate her updates and visit summaries.”


“Brenda was very patient with my 2 cats, who had never been left alone before. She took care of everything and I was very happy with the service she provided. Will definitely book again if needed.”

“Olivia took great care of our cat! She was thorough with a pre-visit. She was kind and asked questions to make sure she knew exactly what to do. While we were traveling, she sent awesome updates and photos. We came back to a happy cat. We would definitely book her again!”

“Jennifer was great with Poppy! She sent alot of pictures and updates, and Poppy came home exhausted! Would definitely use Jennifer again if I’m in the San Diego area. :)”

“Tina is awesome! She sent lots of pics and made sure our Pep was happy, safe and fed while we were away. A week away from your dog can be stressful but Tina always kept us updated and did a great job. Thank you Tina!”

“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.”

“Allie is so great with my dog Sophie, who is a 13 year old lovable but leash aggressive dog. She handles her well and wasn’t hesitant to take us on as a client. She is also great about accommodating my unpredictable schedule, last minute requests and goes out of her way to be available for Sophie. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most my life. I've had up to three dogs of my own at a time. Had to say goodbye to two of them last year. I have a one year sweet pup named Lucy that has been great around all dogs big and small. I work full time from home so I am more than happy to have your dog for the day while you're at work, or for the night if you're away. I can stop in to let your dog out throughout the day if needed. I do have 2 cats in the house so would need dogs that are cat friendly or ignore them. Look forward to meeting your pup! I do have a full time job, but I do work from home so I do have a very flexible schedule so I am available to take care of your pet during the week. I am free pretty much all day on Saturdays and Sunday I am very respectful of your home and belongings. I truly do love animals and I can assure you I will treat your pet(s) and spoil them just as I do my own
