Fluffy also had so much fun playing with the other puppies, which made his stay even more enjoyable. When we came back, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly happy, showing how much he enjoyed his time with her. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him and highly recommend Xochitl to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
“Kiara was amazing. She clearly spent a lot of time with our dog, both at home and outside. They have a nice backyard where our guy had a blast exploring. Kiara is very attentive.

She also sends regular updates and photos. 10/10 would recommend her.”

About: Along with caring for my own cat, Kevin, I’ve also cared for cats with a variety of personalities and needs. From giving medication to very specific eating routines. This has given me an understanding that every cat is different. Whether they’re playful and social or shy and independent, I know how important it is to respect their routines, earn their trust, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.
“Thank you so much, Kim for dropping in and checking on our little Penny. She looked like she had a great time going outside with you! We really appreciate the way you cared for while we were away.”
About: I’ve had cats since I was around 10 and have been watching them ever since. I have experience with kittens as well as senior cats and am experienced in giving medications. I know all cats have very different personalities but I love very social ones and very shy ones. Can’t wait to watch your cat!
About: I've grown up with dogs, and still love to be around them. I have a good general idea on training them, whether if it was party tricks or potty training. Im available early in the morning(6am) throughout to the evening(6pm) sundays through saturdays; I prefer medium to larger dogs, though I wouldn't mind smaller/toy breeds. I've had more experience with pitbulls, belgian mallinois, jack russell terriors, chihuahuas and chows. I wouldn't mind bathing pets either; I can bring your pet tired and satisfied from long walks, short sprints, or just playing. If there is a specific way to care for your dog I can adapt to what ever schedule is set up for your pet. I am a very punctual person. I enjoy walking them. I'm also in the military and will try to be as flexible as possible.
About: Hi there! I’m Christy, and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I had a chihuahua and a pug/beagle mix, and now I share my home with a friendly cat and a 100-pound Tibetan Mastiff who’s kind, gentle, and playful. I’m dedicated to giving your pet the same love, care, and attention I give my own. I live in a cozy two-bedroom apartment with a dog park right in the community, so your pup will enjoy plenty of walks and playtime. I’m reliable, communicative, and experienced with medications and unique routines. Whether you need overnight stays or just some extra playtime for your furry friend, I’m here to help! I currently work part time at the farmers market selling dog food, so I’ll have plenty of time caring for your baby! I take my dog on 2-3 walks a day at the community dog park, so just let me know if your baby needs more talks than that. Our cat, Suess, gets along with all dogs. He typically minds his own business. I keep him separated during feeding time. My gentle giant, Nala, gets along with all dogs. I have a large crate for your baby if they need to be crated at night time or when we need to run an errand. I am comfortable giving meds and any other care your baby needs.

I highly recommend her to take care of your pets while away.”
“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!”
“Sara is so good with Emma. Emma seems to take to her very quickly and shows her cute playful side. I plan to make Sara my #1 pet sitter for all future occasions.”

“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! :)”
“Janae did such a great job with my dog!! Literally no complaints! Took him on a nice hike and sent lots of updates and pics during his stay. She also accommodated an extra request I had which was above and beyond. Will definitely use her services again:)”
“Mrs. Shyrah is awesome! I brought my 2 dogs - Athena (Rottweiler) and Ava (Chihuahua/Dachshund) - to her care, and despite them both being very shy of new people, I was told they did wonderfully, they were so calm and friendly to her at her home. She let both of them feel welcome and let them acclimate to the environment at their own pace. She often sent me pictures and updated me on how they were, which was so great to see. I will 100% be booking Mrs. Shyrah again in the nearby future for all daycare and overnight stays! She’s awesome and my dogs love her! 💕”
“Absolutely wonderful and great communication! Played with my dog Yogi a bunch and tired him out, which was great after a long day of work! Thank you so much for your loving tenderness with him!! So appreciated!!”
“Absolutely love Amalia, Mary, and family. Ocean is always so happy to see them and it makes my heart so happy to know he’s being loved and taken care of, AND that he’s enjoying his time there. It’s really sweet to see him a little sad to leave their house. I know he loves all of them.”
“Genevieve and her husband are INCREDIBLE! We are so thankful that we found them. Our pup had a blast with willow and Genevieve and her husband were so kind and communicative. They sent us great pics of our boy playing and taking naps which put our minds at ease. We will definitely be coming back for day care and overnights! Thank you SO much!”

“Every pet parent’s wish is that their fur child gets the same love and care at a sitter’s as they do at home. Ann provides exactly that. She is responsible (arranges meet and greets of all dogs she cares for) and adheres to all provided care instructions as well as send picture/video updates throughout the day. I love that dogs are allowed to roam free in her house as it provides a more “home-like” environment compared to other typical boarding facilities. She is great to communicate with regarding scheduling and understanding when emergencies come up. Ann has been my dog Ollie’s go to daycare and boarding service for the past two years. But honestly, she’s gone above and beyond to be more than that. Ollie enjoys spending time at her house and even gets invited to her dog’s birthday party every year. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hi! My name is Kiara and I am a fully remote worker with no pets and a quiet, clean space to spend time with your baby - focusing on one dog at a time to ensure quality attention and care can be provided. I am an experienced dog owner who lost my baby, Shiloh 🐾🪽🤍, after 13 years. Since Shiloh’s passing, I haven’t felt ready to commit to owning another dog full-time. However, I have been big sister/cousin to other dogs over many years and have loved on various breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am particularly experienced in providing calm, laidback environments for furry family and friends, ensuring both pup and I feel at ease with our time together. My work grants me the ability to love on and closely monitor the dog(s) I choose to spend time with in the comfort of my home. I have the flexibility to not only give lots of TLC, but also take them for walks or play in my backyard. I have a healthy work/life balance that avails the opportunity to make time to brighten a pup’s day, giving you some free time and me some added canine joy. While your pup will have open space in my home to explore, I have a safety gate to block off stairs as needed, and a designated comfort area for smaller dogs with a playpen, bed, bowls, and toys. My fully fenced in backyard makes backyard trips convenient and safe, and my neighborhood offers many sidewalks and parks to safely walk my more active friends.
“Kylie is very responsive and communicates well, which I appreciate. My dog enjoys his days playing with their 2 dogs and others they care for. I’ll definitely continue using their services.”
“Madeira & Dean were awesome pet sitters!! My pup Nova was ecstatic when arrived and now exhausted but smiling from her funilled day!! Thank you so much for taling care of our fur baby!!! Would 100% recommend and reuse again for the future!”
“Updates throughout the day, they were super understanding when I was running late from work, and when I picked up my dog at the end of the day I got a great summary of the day! Very knowledgable of dog behavior, and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with them! Will definitely book in the future ?”
About: Hi!! I’ve had dogs since I was 2 years old and was the main caretaker growing up for our large and small dogs. I have had 2 dogs as an adult and am familiar with rescues that are more sensitive along with high energy breeds! :) I’m here for check ins or walks while your furry babe is at home and needing some TLC!❤️ I work from home so I’m able to step away for a walk or check in as needed without a problem! I tend to my fur kids throughout the day easily so helping out some fellow fur owners would be awesome! I am happy to care for your pet in my home if they get along with other dogs and are ok around cats! Prefer crate trained if possible but likely will be out of crate most the time. I work from home and would only leave them to exercise.

About: I love dogs and I am a reliable, caring, physically active, and trustworthy dog-walker and sitter. My mom adopted a pug I used to walk on Rover since the owner could sadly no longer keep him. I have been doing this on and off for the last few years depending on my schedule. My experiences include walking and caring for Pugsly, my cousin’s Mini Aussie, my coworker’s lab mix, a doodle, among others. I don’t have a dog of my own so I love walking other dogs in the neighborhood. I prefer and feel most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs. I cannot currently board dogs but I have the availability to house-sit. I am attentive to each dog owner’s needs and preferences. I aim to provide a meaningful and positive experience for both you and your dog. I currently have availability Monday-Friday from 8 am to 8 pm and have a flexible schedule. I am also available to walk dogs on the weekends when needed. I can provide references upon request. I can take your dog out two to three times a day. I am not currently hosting dogs at home. I love to play with them and cuddle with them and am very attentive to specific needs and requests you may have. I am responsible and detail-oriented and can tailor the experience to you and your dog’s needs.
“Fulati was the best! I had an unexpected trip and Fulati went out of his way to make the meet and greet with Aeriel. My pup instantly went up to him, tail wagging, and wanted to play. Don’t get me wrong Aeriel loves people but she was just excited to see him like he was an old friend. He asked me questions that I didn’t even think to mention and he was understanding and cautious on walks since Aeriel doesn’t get along with other dogs. Fulati did everything I asked and more. He walked her with care, played with her with love, and made sure she was comfortable before leaving. I had left a blanket for her to lay on in the bed and he would send pictures of her resting and napping after their long walks. I will definitely be using him again for when I need someone to take care of my fur child!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young and currently have a 4-year-old Samoyed. I’m experienced with energetic breeds, daily exercise, and giving dogs loving attention. I’m available during the week and weekends for walks or drop-ins. Flexible scheduling means your dog gets reliable care, exercise, and attention whenever you need it. In your home, I follow your dog’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Walks, playtime, meals, and cuddles are always provided with care and attention.
About: Caring for dogs has always been second nature to me since I've grown up with them my whole life. I’ve raised multiple pups from their first tail wags to their golden years, and I currently share my life with two of my own. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s a genuine passion. Every dog I care for is treated like family, receiving the same personalized love, patience, and attention I give my own. What truly sets me apart is my intuitive approach to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s helping a nervous pup feel safe, engaging an energetic dog with play and structure, or providing extra comfort and gentle care to seniors, I adapt with heart and experience. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority — and you can rest easy knowing they’re in loving, capable hands. Right now, I have a flexible schedule since I am in medical school and can study at home, which gives me the perfect opportunity to dedicate my time to your pet. Being around pets brings me joy, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. In my home, your dog will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and well-managed environment. I live in an house with two friendly dogs — one small and one medium-sized — who love to socialize and play. I always do a slow, supervised introduction to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I also have crates and indoor fencing available to provide space or separation if needed, so your pup’s safety and comfort are always a priority. I’m also flexible and happy to care for pets in their own homes. Some dogs feel most at ease in their familiar space, and I do everything I can to keep their routine consistent — from feeding schedules to playtime and snuggles. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I treat every dog with the same level of love, attention, and respect I give my own.
“Tyler was incredible with our active, anxious pup, Penny! He was so patient with her and even helped with leash training along the way. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. He was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and even added an extra day when we extended our trip. Total peace of mind and such a great experience… we’d absolutely book with him again!”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Kim and I have over 5 year of experience taking care of dogs and have had my cat for over 2 years + 3 dogs. These experiences have taught me how to properly take care of these special animals and I will do my absolute best to accommodate any of their needs. I started volunteering dog sitting for my friends and I never realized I would even like it this much but I really do. They are so much fun. I would often take them to dog beach and to dog parks. Drive them around so that they could enjoy the fresh breeze in their face while the windows are rolled down. They always look so happy and excited, which brings a smile to my face. Past breeds I have taken care of are; shih Tzu’s, Yorkies, Maltese mix, and a Goldendoodle ❤️ But I’m open to sitting any breed and any size. I have a very flexible schedule. I may tend to a few social events if I go out but I’m never gone more than 3-4 hours at a time. I follow the pet owner’s instruction when it comes to caring their pet(s). I’m very affectionate and love cuddling. I’ll respect your pet’s boundaries if they’re not into this and will 100% put my all into giving them my care, time and attention.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and other pets my entire life and have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and will do my best to accommodate your routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I’m committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines to help keep your pet happy and stress-free. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll provide plenty of updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.

I work from 5pm-12am Friday through Sunday but I am available Monday through Thursday from 12pm-12am. I have a fenced grass yard and one small dog named Nova (miniature pincher/chihuahua mix) to keep your dog company. Nova is very friendly and calm around small dogs but she gets anxious/skittish with large dogs so no large dogs please :). I don't crate my dog so no crates on site.
About: We are a team! You get both of us! lol We both grew up with dogs and Vannessa also grew up with a cat. We affectionately refer to all dogs of all ages as puppies. We really want a dog but we can’t yet commit to the life they deserve so as long as their human and the puppy allow us to love on them, we gratefully do so! We are very attentive, follow common sense and all the house rules provided for the pup or pups (and kitties if there are any), we send pictures and videos, and provide updates. We love your puppies (and kitties if there are any) as if they were our own. You can have the peace of mind and enjoy your difficult time away from them knowing they are being really well taken care of! To us, pets are family, best friends; special and important. We treat them with the utmost love, care, attention, and respect. We genuinely love them. For first time sitting, we always do a meet and greet before accepting any bookings. This way we can confirm we are all a good fit for each other. If we all agree we are, we also like to do another meet and greet right before the housesitting time so your pups (and kitties if there are any) can get our scent again so they can remember us and feel safe when we go pet sit them. During meet and greets we go over what you need and ask that you write it all down as well for the pet sitting dates. For walks and drop-ins, we also do an initial meet and greet before accepting any bookings for the same reasons. Whatever questions you may have, please ask! We’re very open communicators Our schedule is fairly flexible. Rest assured once you’ve confirmed dates and times with us, we will be there. Even though it hasn’t happened but IF we cannot make it (which would be for an emergency or something urgent like a Doctor’s appointment that can’t work around that time) we give you as much notice as we possibly can. We only care for pets at your home. We are not allowed to have pets at our apartment. As far as how we care for your pets, always lovingly. Whether you have a strict routine for them, casual schedule, or just follow their lead—we do what you ask of us. If there is something we don’t feel comfortable with, we communicate with you and you let us know how you want to proceed. It’s really important to us we all communicate well with each other.
“Hana is amazing! I have been extremely scatterbrained and she’s been very understanding and worked with me when I messed up our walking schedule. She is a true dog whisperer and I trust her with our (sometimes very angry) 13 year old husky. She is very patient with him (and me) and has been a real lifesaver for dog walking on our busy 15 hour days!”
About: I am always used to being around animals! back in my hometown i live on a ranch with many farm animals. animals like goats, chickens, horses, cats, and yes.. dogs! i would help take care of all when i was living back home but because i go to SDSU, i now live in San Diego! i do dog sit for family back home and i sometimes do dog sit for 3-7 days ! I am currently a full time student and a commuting dancer! i do only go to school 3x a week and practice once a month (i do fly back home) so i am available for day care, dog walking, check ins, boarding etc.. :) i have a pet friendly apartment and there is a group of dog parents that gather and meet up for play dates. we do have a fenced area for potty breaks/ walks. i do also have roommates that love being around dogs! keeping a clean and hygienic environment is always important when caring for a dog! engaging and loving them unconditionally is also included, of course!
“Kiera is wonderfully responsive, professional, and so so sweet to our four-legged child. She helped us out so much by walking our Doberman 5 days a week for 10 weeks straight without fail! THANK YOU KIERA! If I could tip you a million dollars I would!”

“Jocy took great care of our Maddie and sent us plenty of photos and videos even though Maddie was staying for just a single afternoon/evening, and she made sure all of Maddie's needs were fulfilled! Thank you very much Jocy!”
“My dog, Cosmo, is always thrilled when he realizes we’re going to Jason’s house! It’s obvious that Jason and his family are experienced with dogs and truly love them, plus Jason is a great communicator and I can always count on pics and updates on Cosmo’s antics while I’m away. Thanks for another great stay, Jason!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our Gorilla on such short notice. He had the best time with your dogs and I could tell how comfortable he was with all of your photos/updates. Will rebook next time we’re out of town. Appreciate you for sharing your loving home with our fur pup. 💜”
“Rachelle is very communicative and was willing to anything to make sure my dog was comfortable. Her dog, Sam, is a great dog and got along well with my Riri. 10/10 I would book with her again. Don't think twice.”
“Shelby took great care of my senior pup, Sage! This was a last minute booking, and she was very accommodating. She kept me updated throughout the stay, and I had complete peace of mind knowing Sage was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Shelby again!”
“Our dog was happy when I picked him up from Hana. We’re so thankful that she was able to keep him as we had an unexpected death in the family and Hana graciously helped us in a bind. She took the time to get to know our boy and sent pictures every day. I’d bring our boy to stay again.”

“Our dog Lula had a great time during his boarding stay with Shyrah! She was very communicative and provided photos and updates throughout the booking. Would recommend!”
“I can't thank Mihaela enough for taking such great care of our dog. She was a great communicator and sent a lot of photos while he was in her care. She was also so kind and understanding when my flight was delayed and I had to pick him up later. Would love to have her watch our dog again. Thank you!”
“Penny loved her stay! Alegra kept us posted with pictures and messages on how Penny was doing. I so appreciate it! Alegra and her family took good care of my Penny and we would love to book with her again”
“I give Mayank and his family a FIVE star review all the time. They send pictures, updates. Zazzle is so happy to be with Myank and his family. Their daughter Pia loves all the four legged guests. Zazzle has dogs to play with, get tuckered out. Can't get better than this. Thanks to Mayank and family.”
“Clint watched my corgi Mumu for over a week and sent daily video updates of him and the other dogs. Clint’s spacious yard and house is perfect for hosting multiple dogs and he was clearly very experienced with dog introductions and socialization. He also frequently takes the dogs to the dog park which was great for my energetic corgi. Would definitely return if I needed boarding for Mumu!”
“Thanks so much, Alexis! We were nervous to leave our 14 month, high energy vizsla with someone new, but Alexis was very communicative with multiple updates a day. Jerry came home happy, healthy, and tired from all the play. We really appreciated the peace of mind provided, and would absolutely book again in the future. Thanks!”
“Michelle provided an amazing stay for our pup while we were out for a week. She was quick to respond, extremely flexible and provided great updates. If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend using Michelle’s services.”
“Our doggy appeared relaxed and seemed to make a connection with the whole family. She also liked to play with another dog at the house. She loved her walks, basking in the sun and snuggling on peoples’ laps. We appreciated the photos to confirm our delight in having her in Madiera’s care.”
“The most amazing service i could ever have imagined! The best updated with photos and videos and they really fell in love with our dogs! Would use them again in a heartbeat! Very grateful!”
“Pamela took really good care of my pup (Sasha). Her dog (Xochilt) got along with her. And she never failed to send updates and photos. Would definitely recommend her!”
