“Mabel loved her time at Araceli’s! Araceli was very warm and welcoming to us humans, but to Mabel she was a dog’s dream host. There are toys, stuffies and balls galore. Mabel absolutely felt at home the second we walked in. Mabel was allowed to get on the couch and Araceli didn’t mind when water dripped off her mouth after drinking water. We knew immediately that Mabel would be in great hands and she was. We were happy to receive pictures and even a video of Mabel having fun. We will definitely use Araceli again. I know Mabel will be excited.”

About: There has hardly been a day of my life where I haven’t been surrounded by animals. I have years of experience working with all ages of pets—from potty training new puppies to taking care of senior dogs, I can do it. I work as a freelance graphic designer, so my schedule is flexible enough to go and pick up petsitting gigs like this. I can swing by any day of the week to take care of your animals! Details are very important to me when it comes to taking care of others’ pets, especially when it’s in their own home. Spare me no instruction or request you might have for me and I will happily oblige!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've been pet sitting and dog walking since I was 15 years old, caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors whenever they traveled or needed an extra hand. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or sticking to your pet's daily routine, I treat every animal as if they were my own.

She is very respectful and easy to coordinate with.”

About: My family had dogs growing up and I’ve pet-sat for friends and neighbors since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, I love hanging with all kinds of animals! I am a recent college graduate from Cal Poly SLO who just moved to SD! Let me know your needed schedule and we can discuss! I’m exciting to take care of your pets and give them tons of attention! I’m open for walks, feeding, and house sitting, etc, just let me know!
About: I grew up in an animal-loving family, where caring for pets was a shared responsibility. I haven’t had a dog in a while, and I truly miss being around them, which is one of the reasons I love pet sitting. Because I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I can follow their routines, provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and make sure they’re never left alone for long. I have a big patio, it is fenced, so the dogs can use it. My house is very clean, I care about that too and I think it is important for pets to stay in a safe and clean place
About: I take care of your babies like my own! I have taken care of dogs for 8 years now. I have trained a 4 month year old gray lab and another 5 month old black lab. I have pet sat a cat for my neighbors and looked after/walked couple other dogs in the neighborhood. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule! So can be any time of the day. You let me know what works for you best and I’ll be thereᵕ̈ I always make sure to spend time getting to know the pet and play around, most of them are anxious and sad that their owner is not there so I try my best to keep them occupied and well taken care of.
“Being upfront we had a small miscommunication and confusion around timing at the start, but she handled it. She was very apologetic and refunded us, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, she was wonderful with our cat and clearly took great care of him. He was in good hands, and she seems to genuinely like being with him.”
“Kirra did a great job watching my cat! She was extremely flexible when I accidentally booked her for the wrong day and was able to come when I needed her anyway. I came home to a happy healthy cat and clean house. 5 out of 5 ⭐️”

“Tiffany has been such a caring and reliable sitter for my Chloe! Since the first time watching Chloe she has showed so much patience and consideration for Chloe’s situation being her first time away from me! I have now rebooked with Tiffany 4 times and she has been so reliable every weekend for me ! I was so nervous about leaving Chloe with a sitter but now I get to go to work knowing she is safe every time ! 10/10 recommend Tiffany to everyone if you’re looking for someone that knows how to communicate and really care for our little fur babies 💕”
“Hanny was fantastic with Oliver! She watched him for a few hours today and was incredibly friendly and responsive. Highly recommend her, and will definitely reach out again next time we're in SD! Thanks again!”
About: Hi neighbors! I’m located in Point Loma and opening up availability for local dog sitting, drop-in visits, dog walks, and vacation pet care. I’m a mom of two, and my children have been asking for a dog of their own. My kids are obsessed with dogs and walk the neighborhood counting and looking for dogs on our evening walks. Before taking that step, I want to teach them the responsibility and importance of caring for an animal, including consistency, patience, love, and respect for a pet’s routine. I’m dependable, caring, and happy to help with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and daily photo/text updates. I’ve had dogs since before I can remember of all sizes and breeds. From puppy’s to senior understanding the importance of caring for these as though they are our own. Available in Point Loma, Ocean Beach, Liberty Station, Shelter Island, and nearby areas. Please message me if you’re looking for reliable local pet care or know someone who is! I work fully remote from my home and build my own schedule so I am always onsite with dogs and can feed, walk and play as needed. I currently live in a community of homes which is not near any busy streets. Each circle of homes has speed bumps and is very family & pet friendly with other dogs and plenty of space for dogs to walk and be outdoors.
“Anne and her family were wonderful right off the bat ! I immediately felt comfortable and safe leaving our new puppy with her ! She was always quick to respond with my questions before and during my puppy’s visit! We will definitely reach out again !”
“Gaby took very good care of my dog with separation anxiety. I was initially worried as my dog has never been with a dogsitter before but Gaby kept Shio happy and relaxed throughout her stay. She sent me updates throughout the day too. Would definitely bring Shio back when we visit san diego again.”
“Ilayda was wonderful, she agreed to care for our pup Daphne at the very last minute after another sitter had to cancel due to a family emergency, so we could go to the zoo safari park. Ilayda was prompt and responsive and sent me pics throughout the day. She was communicative and took Daphne out for a trail walk which she loves. I would definitely book with Ilayda again!”
About: I am a dog person! No matter the dog I am sure to love and adore them. I do have a 5 year old English Bulldog (M) of my own who is a total couch potato. He’s spent a lot of time around other dogs and does particularly well with puppies and female dogs (he’s a ladies man lol). Growing up neighbors, friends and family were always calling me to care for their fur babies whether they were running home late from work or away for vacation. Some breeds I have sat in the past include: bulldogs, Golden’s, labs, bernies, and pugs I currently work from home 4.5 days a week (Tuesday mornings I am in office), so have a fairly flexible schedule when it comes to tending to your pets needs🙂 ** At this time I am not able to stay overnight at clients homes, if you are interested in having me do multiple drop in visits to your home throughout the day reach out and I will charge you my overnight price. While you are away my goal is to allow your pet to stay on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that be going for long walks, playing outside, or extra long belly rubs I want to make sure your pet is getting the love and care they are used to.
About: Growing up I had a chocolate lab and three doodles which formed my love for dogs. Dog sitting for neighbors was my very first job and have experience watching dogs for friends and family throughout my life. From high energy nuts to chill doodles I have plenty of experience and love for all types of dogs. Currently accepting bookings for hypoallergenic/low shedding dogs only. I work remotely and spend most of my time during the week in my office in my two bedroom apartment. I live alone and typically only leave during weekdays for the gym, the driving range, grocery shopping / farmers markets as part of my daily routine. I am active and love to go on jogs / walks to the beach to balance out the time I spend in front of screens. On weekends I like to go to coffee shops, golf (9 holes max if dog sitting), and get out in nature. Dog sitting fits well into my chill routine. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but I chose a career in sales. The frequent travel has held me back from getting my own and dog sitting when I’m home is my solution to getting that dog love missing in my life. I am happy to take care of many different types of dogs. If they are chill and just need love and attention or they need lots of walking and action, either is good for me. Happy to send plenty of pics of your dog and me having a blast doing whatever it is you recommend they like to do. My apartment has hardwood floors, two balconies, is 1224 square feet, and plenty of large windows which dogs love to stare out of. I also have a giant dog bed (grey one in photo). There are doggie bags included right outside my apartment and the neighborhood (Dylan Point Loma) is very dog friendly. Convenient to take a walk at any time right from the apartment around Point Loma.
About: I’ve had pets around me my whole life—dogs, cats, you name it—so I’m pretty much at home with any kind of fur baby. Big, small, shy, wild… all good. I live with two goofy dogs and a cat who runs the place, so a little chaos is nothing new. I will look after them like they are my own, I love animals ❤️ I work from home, which means I can drop in for walks, playtime, or just some company pretty much whenever. Weekdays are wide open, and if you need a last-minute visit, chances are I can make it happen. I spend a lot of time home so I am around my fur babies most of each day. I have flexibility to take care of your pets either in my home or check in at yours!
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, dog loving sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds, from my family’s Rottweiler to dogs I’ve watched for friends, family, past employers and current employers :). I know every dog is different, so I focus on making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to build my day around pet care. I also like to stay active, which makes dog walks a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I can be available to give your dog the attention and care they need. I usually just follow whatever routine your dog is already used to (feeding times, walks, playtime, all of that) so nothing feels off for them. In your home, I try to keep things as normal and low stress as possible. If they’re with me, they’ll get regular walks, attention, and a calm, clean space to hang out. I’m pretty attentive and good at picking up on what a dog needs, whether that’s more activity or just time to chill.
“Kelsey is a total sweetheart making my dogs very comfortable in the very first introduction. She kept me up to date on how my fur babies were doing while I was traveling. I highly recommend her.”
“Donovan was great! Professional, very friendly, communicative, and easy-going. It was our first time bringing our pup here. She loved running and chasing the other dogs there, and came home exhausted. She is now fast asleep and probably dreaming about her fun day. Would definitely recommend Donovan, and we will be back for more playtime!”
“Penne spent a week at daycare with Dillon and she looked forward to seeing him every morning! Dillion was very patient with my pup (even when she peed in his house 3 times) and always sent update pictures throughout the day”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for the past 27 years, from my own pets, to neighbors, friends, and family. I love to play games, give them exercise, and make sure they are having a good time. I'm dedicated to ensuring the well-being and happiness of all the pets I care for. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible, and can take care of your pet both weekdays and weekends. I can walk your dog 2-3 times per day. I live with my husband in a gated apartment complex that is dog friendly, which has a dog park where your dog can be taken off the leash, as well as a dog washing and dryer station. My place has a balcony, no backyard. We have no pets or kids. There are also several local parks to choose from.
“Shannon is amazing! She’s so kind, welcoming, thoughtful, communicative, and truly wonderful with animals. I feel 100% confident and at peace knowing my pup is with her. My once cautious pup is now over-the-moon excited every time she sees Shannon. Shannon gets 6 out 5 stars!”
About: I have grown up with dogs, but more recently, raised a 13-year-old beagle named Scurvy (he passed away two years ago), so I have all the dog experience needed to care for your baby(ies)💗I want to help others while helping my heart heal as well. Walks, feeding, bathing, allergy issues. I even have a kennel and toys:) I just got my master’s degree (le phew!), so my schedule has freed up significantly. Also, my boyfriend works remotely- the puppers won’t ever be alone. My boyfriend has two friendly cats that are spayed and neutered. Pottie places are in our unfenced backyard, so it is easy to relieve your pet(s).

“Mady did amazing with my boys. I knew she would when we had our meet and greet. She wasn’t intimidated by their size, so receptive to all the ridiculous training techniques we use, and just so nice! I’m sure my boys are looking forward to seeing her this weekend !”
About: Hi! I'm Jazmin, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. Over the years, I've raised, trained, and cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, and I truly understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust. I adopted my own dog when she was just 12 weeks old, and she's now 7 years old. Raising her from a puppy has given me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic obedience to daily exercise, enrichment, and lots of cuddles. She has grown into the sweetest, friendliest dog and absolutely loves other dogs and animals. I also have years of experience dog sitting for friends, family, and clients. Whether it's long walks, playtime, sticking to your dog's routine, or simply giving them lots of love and attention while you're away, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I'd love to have another dog someday, but until the time is right, I genuinely enjoy spending time with other people's pups. It would be an honor to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! Your pup will get plenty of exercise, adventure, and love while they're with me! I love taking dogs on walks or runs along the bay or to the beach if they enjoy exploring. I also live near a open field where they can safely run, play fetch, and burn off some energy. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a stroll, I'll make sure they have a fun.
“I was nervous about leaving my one year old Golden but Ashley was great! After meeting Ashley in person, I felt confident that she was dependable and would come daily (for 11 days!) to walk my sweet dog and give her the love she might be missing while I was away. Thanks so much, Ashley!!!!”

I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that's as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on a walk, I'll treat them with patience, love, and close attention while respecting your home and your preferences. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you'll always know how your furry family member is doing.

“Rachel has been an amazing dog walker and sitter and we’re sad to see her moving away from our area but know future clients will be so lucky to have her. I wish there see more walkers like her. She frequently walked and sat for Lucy and she has been reliable, kind, and communicative. Most of all, my dog adores her. We’re so thankful for all of her care for Lucy.”
About: My dogs are always loved and snuggled. I take advantage of walks to be outside of the house and get my steps in. At home, my two dogs (one senior and one a picky eater) are always on my lap or out in the backyard with me. I let them out as often as I can and they sleep slot. If your dog stays with me, we plenty of dog beds and lots of love to give. I'm just moved here this summer with my sister but have enough rooms if yours need a room stay haha. One is a 10 yr old rat terrier and the other one a 4 year old cockapooo who loves to play. Both super friendly and always looking forward to say hi. I work a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I structure my day around feeding, walking, and play sessions to ensure your pet maintains their normal routine while you are away I'm very close to several dog parks and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, providing a safe, fun, and structured environment for every guest.
About: I've had pets all my life, including cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. I love and care deeply about all animals and take great care and consideration when watching doggies or cats! I've had many years experience watching many different animals. I'm reliable and responsible. With every animal I have watched, the owner has come back to me again for more sitting. I'm willing to work around your schedule and needs to set up walks and sitting that are ideal for you and your dog(s). I love all dogs and love to focus on their needs, comfort level, and giving them as much love and snuggles as possible. Watching dogs truly brings me joy and I am always looking to meet new clients! I work 9-5 but can sometime work from home. I love spending time with the animals I’m watching and like to prioritize that! I am extremely attentive to pets. I try and give them as much attention and love as possible. If they are comfortable sleeping in the bed, I’m happy to have them in bed with me. I truly am an animal lover and can’t get enough of them!
“Juliette is great! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, is communicative, and managed a successful walk with our sometimes stubborn fur babies. We’ll book her again and recommend her services.”
“I owe Dillon at least a hundred reviews (im sorry Dillon!) He walks Chase regularly anywhere upto 5 times a week. He sends texts, pictures, and fills up his water bowl after every walk. Dillon is accomodating and just great! Thank you Dillon!!”
About: Since I was a toddler, Ive grown up with many different kinds of dogs in the house! Corgis, German Shepherds, Akitas, Chihuahuas, Blue Heelers, you name it. I'll cater to each one to match their specific needs, whether young pups, or senior dogs. And dont worry, I love my kitties too🥰 I'm currently a freelance muralist, so when I'm not painting, I have lots of time to love on your baby. Monday-Sundays are open all day! I love maintaining a safe and clean environment for us to play and or relax in! I'll put leashes, toys and bowls back exactly where I find them and keep things tidy!
About: Having grown up with pets throughout my life, I've developed a natural ability to connect with animals of all temperaments. I'm particularly skilled at recognizing subtle changes in behavior that might indicate stress or health concerns. My experience includes caring for senior pets with special needs, administering medications, and providing the extra patience and gentle care older animals require. I'm also comfortable with high-energy puppies and understand the importance of consistent training, boundaries, and positive reinforcement during these formative months. I believe in adapting my approach to each pet's unique personality rather than expecting them to adjust to me. What truly sets me apart is my genuine love for animals combined with my flexible remote work schedule, allowing me to be present and attentive throughout the day. Your pets won't just be checked on—they'll have a dedicated companion ensuring they're happy, healthy, and receiving plenty of affection while you're away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm available throughout the day to care for your pets. My work arrangement allows me to provide consistent attention, regular feeding times, and plenty of companionship for your furry family members. I already enjoy taking 1-2 walks daily as part of my routine, and I would love to bring your pets along for these outings. Whether it's midday potty breaks, morning exercise, or evening strolls, I can easily adapt my schedule to maintain your pets' regular routines and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I provide attentive, loving care and create a safe environment for pets whether in my home or yours. I prioritize following your established routines to minimize stress for your animals. When house sitting, I respect your home while ensuring your pets maintain their comfortable surroundings and familiar schedule. I'm detail-oriented about safety, keeping doors secure, following feeding instructions precisely, and staying alert to any behavioral or health changes. I'll send regular updates with photos so you can see your pets are happy and well-cared for. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your home and beloved animals are in responsible, caring hands during your absence
“Gabriel was great with our pup! He is a really good communicator, and I appreciate that he took the time to read our care instructions carefully. I also really appreciate that he was flexible and understanding with a last minute schedule change due to a calendar mistake on my end. Would absolutely recommend him.”
About: I've always had a deep love for animals, growing up surrounded by them, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care from a young age. I currently have two dogs of my own, and I understand the importance of providing them with attention, love and proper care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteered at the Humane Society during High School, gaining hands-on experience with a variety of animals and learning how to meet their unique needs. I know what it's like to be on vacation, but to keep thinking about your furry babies at home. I want to ease your mind knowing they are in good hands! Constant communication and pictures are a guarantee! Paw 🐾 bump! I work full-time on a hybrid schedule - 2 days at home and 3 days in office. My workday ends at 3:30pm, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pup, whether it's playtime, walks or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I am happy to adjust my schedule to ensure they get the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's a midday check-in or evening cuddles, I am committed to providing the best experience for your furry friend. I have private access to Dusty Rhodes park, which has an huge field & an enclosed dog park - one for small dogs & one for big dogs. I also live close to Ocean Beach dog beach if your pup prefers the water! I have two furry friends to keep your dog company. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. In my house, dogs are allowed on the couch and bed! If I am watching your furry friend in their house I will abide by all house rules.
“Kirra is a passionate and enthusiastic dog lover which is exactly what we need for our fur baby and he loves his time with her. I feel like my dog is safe when he is with her because she has great judgement and understands my dogs temperament when it comes to interacting with other dogs. She takes my dog on long walks and provides him with plenty of love while I am at work. Thank you Kirra!”
About: I’m so excited to hang with your dog! I’m a lover of all animals, but dogs are just so much fun!! I have a dog, his name is Felix. He was my foster dog, but he was so wonderful I couldn’t let him go. I have learned so much about dogs in the almost 5 years I have been fostering pups. They are so resilient and such a pleasure to be around. I enjoy spending most of my time outside being active. I’m a very hands on kind of a person and that would be the case with any dog I am responsible for. I believe that dogs are wonderful and bring much joy into our lives. I treat all dogs with love, care and respect. I look forward to the chance to spend some time with your pup! Doggies are my full time job. I am home the majority of the time. I leave randomly throughout the day to walk dogs. This is why I require your dog to be comfortable in a crate. My house is on the back lot of a property, it is entirely fenced in. Your pup will have supervised access to the backyard throughout the day.
