“Araceli was great with my two corgis. She kept me updated throughout my time away with pictures and videos. My doggos had the best time and I plan to rebook with her the next time I need a sitter.”
“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!”
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
“Thalia had a fun and relaxing stay with Robin and Ron and their 2 sweet dogs! She loved to play with lots of toys and lounge in their beautiful backyard. I loved to see pictures and videos of her throughout her stay. I’m so happy she was so well taken care of and enjoyed her stay. I look forward to her her staying with them again!!!”

About: Hey there! I’m a proud doggo-dad who works from home (tech industry). I’d love to start watching your pup, PLUS my doggo, Frida, could use some friends. I work from home. Me and my doggo live in a luxury high rise building in downtown San Diego. I take my doggo out for potty breaks 4 times a day, and thus can easily do the same with your doggo. I’m an overprotective dog dad who keeps a close eye on my doggo as I work from home all day. Thus, I can easily do the same with your pup!

“We are so thankful to Xochitl for taking such amazing care of Fluffy during his 5-day boarding stay while we were out of town. Knowing Fluffy was in such loving, patient, and trustworthy hands gave us so much peace of mind. Xochitl treated him like family, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for every day. 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!”

“Latisha is absolutely the best—she has been a wonderful pet sitter for my kitty Mango and I can’t recommend her enough. Your fur baby will be in great hands with her, she takes pride in her job and loves what she does. We have only had positive experiences with her and checks off all the boxes you want in a pet sitter: detail oriented, communicative, patient with your animal, follows instructions thoroughly, leaves the apartment spotless, and is a wonderful person. Her calm demeanor and personality is also a huge plus with highly anxious cats! :)”
“Christine was great and took wonderful care of my Devon Rex. She is communicative, reliable and did a wonderful job ensuring his food, water and litter box were replenished and clean upon each visit. I would definitely book her again when I travel next.”
About: I love cats! I had a Persian rescue growing up. I am very flexible and understand that different cats have different temperaments and will do my best to accommodate whatever your cat needs.
About: Pet Care Experience / What Sets Me Apart I provide calm, attentive care and treat every dog like an individual. I’ve been around dogs most of my life growing up with them and living with dogs owned by family and roommates, so I’m comfortable with daily routines, reading body language, and creating a low-stress environment. What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and communication. I follow care instructions closely, keep owners updated with photos and messages, and focus on making dogs feel safe and comfortable, especially in a new environment. I’m a great fit for well-mannered dogs, seniors, or dogs that prefer a relaxed setting rather than a high-energy group environment. I’m happy to accommodate specific routines, administer basic oral medications, and adjust care to meet each dog’s needs. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available throughout the day to care for pets, including walks, playtime, and feeding time I prioritize a safe and comfortable environment for every pet. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets are supervised, given plenty of attention, and kept away from hazards. I follow your instructions closely and create a calm, trusting atmosphere so your pet feels secure and happy
“Teresa is so good with my fur babies! Always follows instructions, sends lots of pictures and makes sure my kitties feel loved while I’m away! 10/10 recommend her!!”
“Angela was a fantastic sitter for my cat, Wendy. Her time and attention to Wendy was so apparent, through her awesome photos (seriously, she took better photos of my cat than I do). When I came home, my cat was so content and the house looked spotless. Angela took the time to ask specific questions about my cat's personality and play times needs, and I can't express how much I appreciated that. I would recommend her to anyone, and hope to have her watch Wendy again!”
“We never had to worry about how our kitties were doing on our 2 week long trip. I really appreciated the updates and pictures Aleksandra sent every day. You can tell she really loves animals and is trustworthy, responsible and goes above and beyond! I will definitely reach out to her in the future whenever we need an in-home cat sitter!”
“Alena did a great job cat sitting! She was very responsive and sent updates and pictures. Thankful she made me feel that my kitty was in good hands while we were away on vacation.”
“Caitlin was an excellent companion for Fala over the Thanksgiving holiday. Prompt and thorough, every direction followed fully. We will definitely call on her again. Thank you, Caitlin!”
About: Hi! I’m Amy, a dependable and attentive dog lover who understands how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pet. I have a senior dog of my own, Sammy, so I’m very comfortable with the routines, patience, and extra care that some dogs need, whether that’s slower walks, medication routines, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m active, responsible, and love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to tailor care to your dog’s needs, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, or relaxed companionship at home. I’ll care for your dog the way I’d want someone to care for mine: safely, lovingly, and with lots of attention to their unique personality and routine. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. I do have a standing commitment on Monday and Wednesday mornings that takes me away for a few hours, but outside of that I have a lot of flexibility and can often accommodate a variety of schedules with advance notice. I prioritize safe, attentive, and individualized care for every dog. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, temperament, triggers, and any special instructions before providing care. I’m mindful of leash safety, secure doors and gates carefully, monitor for signs of stress or discomfort, and make sure they have fresh water, exercise, and a calm environment. I also understand that every dog is different, some want lots of activity and play, while others do better with a slower pace, extra patience, or a more structured routine. My goal is always to make dogs feel comfortable!
About: I have 9 years of experience with cats starting from the moment I rescued my grumpy bestie, Stella, from the SPCA. Then, in 2021 my husband and I rescued a kitten who had been hit by a car in our neighborhood. Not only did we have to gain a street cat's trust, but we had to do so while administering three medications orally a day. Today, she is the most loving, needy, happy little tripod named Queenie who has taught us so much about patience, respect, and of course veterinary and medical care.
About: I grew up with a Himalayan cat who lived to be 15, so caring for cats—especially seniors—has always been part of my life. I also spent five years caring for a rescue cat with ongoing health needs, which gave me hands-on experience with more attentive, specialized care. I’m comfortable looking after cats of all ages and needs, including multiple cats or kittens, and I’m reliable when it comes to following detailed care instructions.
“Mariah was an incredible sitter for my cat! She was responsive, flexible, and friendly, sending plenty of pics/videos and keeping my cat happy while I was gone. She was super careful about safety-related issues and asked important questions to make sure my cat would be happy and healthy. Mariah was easy and enjoyable to work with, and I would definitely ask her to watch my cat again!”
“Thank you Petunia for taking care of our cat Bigs. This Is the first time we’ve used Rover and I can’t speak enough about it. Petunia text me pictures and made me feel very at ease. I will be using her in the future. Thank you again for your kindness!”
“Great experience. Evelyn communicated well and promptly. She came at the times I asked which helps my cat stay on a schedule to reduce her anxiety. I had a happy cat when I came home!”
“Kaitlyn was extremely communicative, punctual, kind, good-humored, and got along very well with my cat. My cat seemed well cared for when I got back from my two week trip and everything was tidy and in its place. I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kaitlyn!”
About: Hi! I’m Yana a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver based in San Diego. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have had dogs since childhood. As an adult, I cared for two small dogs a Chihuahua and a Dachshund who lived long, happy lives and eventually passed away due to old age. Currently, I share my home with my orange cat, Cooper, and my Boxer, Sheila. Living with different personalities and energy levels every day has taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique needs from playful and active to calm and affectionate. Animals have always been an important part of my family, and I treat every pet I care for with the same patience, attention, and love. Animals have always naturally trusted me, and I genuinely enjoy understanding each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own whether that means playtime and long walks for energetic pups or slow, calm companionship for shy or anxious ones. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

“I came to San Diego for a conference and brought along my little Cocker Spaniel rescue who I just adopted 5 months ago. Melissa cared for him during the day. He has had a lot of separation anxiety. But with Melissa it was much less than I expected. No doubt she has a gift with animals! Thank you Melissa!”

About: Howdy Rover! Growing up, my family always had cats, cats for days, mom did not have the bandwidth for dog shenanigans. But I have been passionate about canine's from my earliest memories. I have been dogsitting and walking my grandparents dog as well as neighborhood dogs since I was 12. MY first dog, raised from 3 months, is the big handsome purebred German Shepherd seen in my profile photo. Koda was adopted from a breeder in 2020. He's very friendly and well trained. My roommate has another Gshep adopted from a shelter, and an Aussie Shep, so I'm used to VERY high energy and demanding dogs. That said, our home can't accommodate anymore furry friends, so I'm only available for housesitting and visits. Looking forward to meeting your furbabies! At this time my availability is completely open. I happily make this my full-time job if possible. I've been out of formal work for a year due to a slump in the job market. I will do my utmost to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and healthy. I'll evaluate potential hazards in the home before you leave, ensure all special instructions are understood and followed, and give you and your pet the best experience possible. I'll give them the same care and attention I would give to my own.
About: I am Bradley and I have taken care of dogs for the past 10 years. My own dog is almost 9 years old, 20 pounds, and is very friendly. I dog sit pretty often and love have extra furry friends stay with us. We have close access to grass for potty breaks and Balboa Park is only a few blocks away. We love to get outside and walk the neighborhood. I work from home, so I have lots of time to make sure any dogs staying with me has plenty of time to get outside and play. I typically am outside with my dog 4x a day. My own home has plenty of space to roam around. My dog is very friendly but typically keeps to herself even when other dogs are around. I am always available to help your dog for any particular need they might have.

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life and have experience with all ages from puppies to senior dogs and even special needs dogs. Before my current rescue dog Sadie girl, I had Ava. I adopted Ava as a puppy and she was healthy according to the vet but it turned out she had a neurological degenerative disease. With Ava I had experience in assisting with mobility issues, supported her with eating, drinking, and administering necessary medications. Now that I have Sadie who is a high energy large breed dog I have a lot of experience going on hikes and runs in local neighborhoods, visiting parks, and dog beaches. I am currently working part time and have plenty of time available for morning, afternoon, or evening walks depending on the day. I have a very flexible schedule and I am always ready for playtime, walks, and/or runs with your precious pup. I have a private fenced in courtyard with space to run around in or lay out in the sun with a strip of turf for potty time.

Special rules and needs will be respected with the utmost care, your fur baby is safe with me!
