“Araceli always takes wonderful care of our dog Punky! She is extremely reliable, communicative, and professional, and Punky is always so excited to spent time there. Can't recommend highly enough!!”
“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!”
“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Kaitlin and Verle were lovely, organized, and prepared. I was especially appreciative of their willingness and desire to care for my dog who is undergoing chemotherapy and could have exhibited several symptoms while I was away and unable to care for her myself. Highly recommended; will request their services in the future.”
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
“Pilar was wonderful! She kept me updated when I asked about my dogs and she has a heart of gold! When I picked my dogs up they were happy! Pilar has a heart of gold! Highly recommend her!”
“What a great family. I took Jackson there for the first time, and he was so loved by everyone. I truly appreciate it when a sitter sends videos and updates and this family made sure they did. I will definitely be rebooking with this family time and time again.”
“Thanks Damariz for taking great care of Dolly. I really appreciate the time you took to make sure she had a great time. Definitely recommend your services. Incredible updates on Dolly throughout her stay.”
“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“Our pup Mia has never stayed overnight with a sitter before and we need a sitter for a couple of nights. We were worried because she is quite anxious with new people/environments, but Robin made a great suggestion to have Mia do a trial run with her. Robin and Rahn took care of her for 1 night and things went well. Robin sent us updates and pictures/videos which were reassuring. Mia seemed to have a lot of fun with the other pups. We are glad to have come across Robin and Rahn and less worried about leaving her for a few days! Thanks guys!”
“Pamela is a great sitter, she’s quick to get back to you about booking and all things regarding your pups stay, very patient with my high energy dogs, and her open availability has been so helpful to my schedule. Highly recommend! She’s fantastic.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
“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!”
“Jermere & Janetta were absolutely awesome to work with. My dogs had such a good time. From the beginning to end, their communication was stellar and very helpful especially for our senior dog. Thank you again J & J!”
“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!”
“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!”

“Isabella is an angel. Our sitter cancelled on my way to the airport and Isabella took the job without hesitation. She even picked up our Lily from the previous sitter and brought her home. She updated us everyday with pictures, video and text messages. Will definitely be a comeback customer. Thanks so much for taking great care of our Lily🙏”
“Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️”
“Jazmin was amazing at looking after my two kitties while I left on a trip. Gave lots of updates and looked after ny cats with excellent care and I was able to feel relaxed knowing my cats were in good care.”

About: I've been a cat lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and today I share my home with three cats, a dog, and a rabbit, so caring for animals is simply part of my everyday life. I have experience with cats of all ages, from tiny kittens to seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society's Kitten Nursery, where I helped care for young kittens who needed extra attention and socialization. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or a professional napper, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I can stop by to feed, refresh water, scoop litter boxes, administer lots of pets (if they're interested!), play, and make sure they have company while you're away. I'm also happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I'll care for your cats as if they were my own—with patience, attention, and plenty of love.

“Joanne is an angel! I’ve met with her before her pet drop ins started and felt immediately at ease- like we’ve known each other for a long time. My pup, Haku adored her!

I would definitely book with her service again! She deserves more than 5 stars. Joanne, please stay nearby and keep in touch!!!”

“DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK! This is Terry and I’s 2nd time working with Janetta and I literally have no complaints. My favorite part of working with Janetta is the fact she cares for my son as if he was hers. Her communication….chefs kiss! She is very punctual and respectful of my home as well. She truly goes above and beyond of the tasks asked of her, and we couldn't be more grateful to have the ability to book with a sitter like her!”

About: I’ve had the privilege of growing up with cats and caring for them throughout my professional career as both a veterinary technician and a kennel attendant.

About: Hi! My name is Victoria, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life. I’ve had experience caring for many different types of animals over the years, but dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I absolutely love spending time with them and building strong, trusting bonds with each dog I meet. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have four dogs of my own—two Chihuahuas, one Pomsky, and one Chow Chow—so I’m very familiar with caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from young puppies who need extra attention and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require patience, gentle care, and specialized routines. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is high-energy and loves walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I can provide the individualized care they need. I also have experience working with dogs who experience anxiety, separation anxiety, nervousness, and other unique behavioral needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care while treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication administration, or simply keeping your pup company, you can trust that they’ll receive plenty of love and attention in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! A little about me! I earned my Associate’s degree in Behavioral and Social Sciences and am currently continuing my education to complete my Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology. My studies have helped me develop strong skills in understanding behavior, patience, communication, and building positive relationships—qualities that I bring into every interaction with the pets I care for. I also work part-time as an in-home caregiver, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, compassion, and attentiveness. Because of my flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pup and ensure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I am available most mornings throughout the week, with the exception of Thursdays and Sundays, and I look forward to providing a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your furry family member. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of grass and space to run, play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors safely. My home provides a loving, pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay. I also have four extremely friendly dogs of my own—two Chihuahuas, one Pomsky, and one Chow Chow—who love meeting new furry friends. They are well-socialized and enjoy playing, making them great companions for dogs who enjoy interaction and socialization. Of course, I always pay close attention to each dog’s personality and comfort level to ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, outdoor adventures, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, they’ll be treated like family and receive plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with me.

(Let me know what food your pet likes or please provide the food if needed)

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—starting with our sweet family dog growing up. Now, I share my home (and heart!) with two more pups I co-parent with my girlfriend: a small Shih Tzu and a senior mix, along with our youngest frenchie, Cleo. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for every pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or behavior changes. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and I’m always mindful of doors, gates, and other safety measures. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Availability: I do work a 8-5 Mon-Fri job. I am open to house sitting if your pup can be okay with me being gone during those hours. I work in the El Cajon area so if you’re close by, I could stop to check on your pup during my lunch break. I try to accommodate as much as possible 😊 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexible scheduling so your pet gets the attention they need—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, enrichment play, or bedtime cuddles. I work from home and spend most of my time indoors or outside on walks, so I’m able to provide consistent companionship, love, and care throughout the day.

I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or changes in behavior. I never leave pets unattended outdoors, and I’m mindful about doors, gates, and anything that could pose a risk. I want your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for at all times.

“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!”
“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Kaitlin and Verle were lovely, organized, and prepared. I was especially appreciative of their willingness and desire to care for my dog who is undergoing chemotherapy and could have exhibited several symptoms while I was away and unable to care for her myself. Highly recommended; will request their services in the future.”
“What a great family. I took Jackson there for the first time, and he was so loved by everyone. I truly appreciate it when a sitter sends videos and updates and this family made sure they did. I will definitely be rebooking with this family time and time again.”
“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“Pamela is a great sitter, she’s quick to get back to you about booking and all things regarding your pups stay, very patient with my high energy dogs, and her open availability has been so helpful to my schedule. Highly recommend! She’s fantastic.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
“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!”
“Jermere & Janetta were absolutely awesome to work with. My dogs had such a good time. From the beginning to end, their communication was stellar and very helpful especially for our senior dog. Thank you again J & J!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Have used Anar twice now and had a great experience each time! My pup comes home happy and she is quick to respond and sends lots of updates. Would highly recommend :)”
“Isabella is an angel. Our sitter cancelled on my way to the airport and Isabella took the job without hesitation. She even picked up our Lily from the previous sitter and brought her home. She updated us everyday with pictures, video and text messages. Will definitely be a comeback customer. Thanks so much for taking great care of our Lily🙏”
“We had an amazing experience with Matthew! He provided thoughtful updates throughout her stay, which really put me at ease. My dog has anxiety, so it means a lot to see her comfortable and happy with someone new—and that’s exactly what happened. When I picked her up, she was excited to see me and still playful with him, which says everything about the trust and bond he built with her. I’m so grateful for the care, patience, and attention he gave her. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him, especially for dogs who need a little extra understanding.”
