About: I am a dog person! Old, young, small, large! No matter the dog I am sure to love and adore them. I do have a 4 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: pugs, bulldogs, mastiffs, doodles, bernies, goldens, labs, and austrailian shepherds. 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. Additionally, I am also available for reoccurring pet walking/let outs during lunch and after work. ** 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: My experience started off with my very own dog when I was a child living in England, I learned from a young age how to take care of a dog and keep them happy. I moved to America 10 years ago and have since been providing dog walking, sitting and general care with several dogs continuously for this whole period. The dogs I have taken care of have ranged from golden doodles, Belgian Malinois and teacup terriers. After 10 years of experience with the same dogs, I am ready to branch out and help you and your dog! I work from home full-time which gives me a lot of flexibility in my available to spend time with your dog and for drop offs and pick ups. Besides an hour at the gym and an hour I walk a dog daily I will be able to provide your dog with all the love and attention they need. I like in apartment with a balcony so if your dog were to be staying at my home it would include having an indoor/outdoor area (the balcony is enclosed), I am also right next to a trail and the bay is less than a mile away so this would be where I would walk your dog. In your home, if you have a routine you would like me to stick to, I’m happy to do so!

“Anna was amazing watching my dog Willow for the first time. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her after just moving to San Diego, but Anna immediately put me at ease. She was so kind and treated Willow like her own, letting her relax and feel comfortable in her home. She kept me updated and sent great pictures that made me really happy. I truly appreciated her communication and care—would absolutely recommend her! She’s wonderful and you can see how much she loves and cares about dogs! Willow had a great time!”

He even got special treats and so much individual attention. The best part of the experience was the communication; I received so many updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Benny was actually sad to leave them when I picked him up, which speaks volumes about the care they provide. I was beyond impressed and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”

Emma and Roux became quick friends. During the four days I was away, I received multiple text messages and photos of Emma doing well in their home. I will DEFINITELY hire them again for future trips.”

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 trouble makers to chill doodles I have plenty of experience and love for all types of dogs. I work remotely and spend most of my days in my office in my two bedroom apartment. I live alone and typically only leave during weekdays for the gym, grocery shopping and farmers markets as part of my daily routine. I am active and love to go on jogs to the beach to balance out the time I spend in front of screens. On weekends I like to go to coffee shops, golf, and occasionally get out of the city for a nature adventure. Dog sitting fits well into my chill routine. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but unfortunately I chose a career in sales after college. For several years I was lucky to have a roommate with a fluffy doodle who I loved and often took care of whenever he wasn’t around, but he has moved out. 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 all different types of dogs. If they are chill and just need love and attention, that works. If they need tons of walking and action, even better. I’ll be sending 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 my roommate left behind that I kept for pet sitting. 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.

“Laynee was able to check in on my kitten on short notice, and also made the effort to stop by in advance to meet kitty and figure out details etc. She sent a bunch of photos and videos and made me feel comfortable that my fur child was in good hands”
About: I grew up with cats older than me, and learned how to respect their boundaries and routines at a very young age. Growing up with older cats also means I became comfortable with administering medication to cats and, if we're being honest, they don't always make it easy but my patience and steady hand is key in minimizing your cats stress. I love how clearly cats communicate their boundaries and needs, and think the world would be a better place if we acted more like cats.
About: I have been watching dogs since I was a child. I watched, trained, and potty trained my own dogs. I am a dog lover who has a lot of energy and is caring. I am a dog owner myself and realize how important it is to trust somebody with their family member (their dog). I am patient and calm and can handle difficult or stressful situations. I do not view dog sitting as a job but as a fun opportunity. I am responsible and mature enough to handle a dog and will ensure your dog will always be safe. I am good with following instructions on your preferences for your pet. I have a friendly dog who would love company when boarding as well .
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!
“Christina is fabulous, she helped us watching our cats over the weekend and was very communicative, flexible with timing and went above and beyond for us. She kept us updated throughout the time and send photos of our cats, highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!!”
About: I’ve had cats all my life, so I know how special and independent they can be and how important it is to have someone patient and caring with them. I live in Ocean Beach and love spending quiet time with cats, giving them attention, play, and comfort. I’m reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Your furry friend will get all the care they need and feel right at home with me.
“Emmie did a great job taking care of our cat For almost two weeks. She understood that our cat is a bit particular, and was great at meeting all of our needs. We came home to a happy kitty!”
“Lauren was an excellent cat/house sitter while I was away on a work trip! My cat Loki is very social and loves a lot of attention, so I really appreciated how present Lauren was with him, and how much she played with him! She sent me a lot of pictures, which kept my mind at ease while I was away. I will definitely rebook with Lauren again!”
“Alli cat sit for our energetic 1 year old cat while we were on a 3 week vacation. She was nice enough to do 2 pre-visits with us so we and our cat could meet her. We knew upon meeting her that she understood cat behaviors and is a “cat lady”. While we were gone, she visited our cat about the same time everyday and gave daily reports and pictures with each visit, which we absolutely loved. She shared what they did each day and we could tell she did her best to get my cat’s energy out each day like we asked. She also followed our wet and dry cat food routines and took care of the litter box. Overall, we were extremely happy with Ali’s services and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Micheal is awesome. Really great with my cats. Super communicative, kind, and took great care of everyone. My super shy cat came to hang out with him multiple times I was out!”

“My Chauncey really likes Kelsey. He walks out of her home with a prance in his step. She always texts me, sends me photos of him, her care is amazing. Thank you!”
“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.

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.

About: Hi, I’m Rosa — a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom! I have years of experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities, from high-energy huskies to independent Shiba Inus. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable whether we’re out for a walk or they’re staying overnight.

I make sure water bowls are always full, give them lots of love and attention, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“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.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and love caring for and cuddling them. My teenage son wants to be a veterinarian and also loves researching pet breeds and their needs. I work from home and would love to have more pets to cuddle, walk and care for. We play with and cuddle the dogs as much as they would like. The cats are the boss - we leave the interaction up to them. We will play and cuddle if they want it - or just be nearby if they prefer. All pets are welcome to be on furniture and in beds - whatever makes them happy :) We live across the street from the San Diego Yacht Club so have a beautiful walking trail we can take dogs on walks on - and also have an outdoor seating area and balconies for both dogs and cats to sit in the sunshine with us. I am home full time now so have lots of time to devote to pets. They are my priority when here and my goal is to send them home well taken care of and happy. Our home is in a small community in Shelter Island with lots of space by the water for nice shady walks and also fenced in areas where the pets can sit outside with me and my family and enjoy the outdoors.

I’m off on Fridays and Saturdays, so I can give them plenty of attention, care, and affection all day on those days. I provide a warm, comfortable, and loving environment. I understand how important exercise is, so I make sure pets get plenty of walks and playtime. I truly love animals unconditionally.
About: Hi! My name is Andrea and I love dogs! I've had over ten years of experience taking care of dogs and animals. I've taken care of all types of personalities from energetic puppies to older dogs that need medication. I have a big backyard with a lot of shade where they can run and play fetch. I love to go on walks or runs with them, depending on the dog. I currently don't have any pets of my own and miss having a dog around; I would love to treat your pet as if it were mine! I have a very open and flexible schedule and will be sure to meet all your pet's needs. Your baby will be safe, happy and loved when they are with me!
About: Ive trained two puppies and cared for my first dog at the end of her life, giving me patience and compassion for dogs of all ages. Ill be traveling intermittently throughout the summer, but will be available part time for walking or potty breaks while balancing my part time job at SDSU. I prioritize safe, attentive walks, using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings. I follow your instructions so your dog feels cared for and returns home happy.
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
“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!!”
“Morgan is always very sweet and attentive to our two pups. One is a senior and the other is a little anxious. Morgan is really patient with both of them and they really enjoy their walks with her!”

About: I am a dog person! Old, young, small, large! No matter the dog I am sure to love and adore them. I do have a 4 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: pugs, bulldogs, mastiffs, doodles, bernies, goldens, labs, and austrailian shepherds. 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. Additionally, I am also available for reoccurring pet walking/let outs during lunch and after work. ** 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: My experience started off with my very own dog when I was a child living in England, I learned from a young age how to take care of a dog and keep them happy. I moved to America 10 years ago and have since been providing dog walking, sitting and general care with several dogs continuously for this whole period. The dogs I have taken care of have ranged from golden doodles, Belgian Malinois and teacup terriers. After 10 years of experience with the same dogs, I am ready to branch out and help you and your dog! I work from home full-time which gives me a lot of flexibility in my available to spend time with your dog and for drop offs and pick ups. Besides an hour at the gym and an hour I walk a dog daily I will be able to provide your dog with all the love and attention they need. I like in apartment with a balcony so if your dog were to be staying at my home it would include having an indoor/outdoor area (the balcony is enclosed), I am also right next to a trail and the bay is less than a mile away so this would be where I would walk your dog. In your home, if you have a routine you would like me to stick to, I’m happy to do so!
“Tyler & Joseph were wonderful. They took great care of my senior dog who is blind and has diabetes. They gave me daily updates on how things were going. I was able to full enjoy my vacation and put my worries at ease knowing my baby was in good hands.”
“Minhee and Minwoo are absolutely incredible! They watched my dog, Benny, and truly went above and beyond in every way. It was so clear that they treated him like one of their own. He even got special treats and so much individual attention. The best part of the experience was the communication; I received so many updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Benny was actually sad to leave them when I picked him up, which speaks volumes about the care they provide. I was beyond impressed and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“William, his wife, and their dog Roux were the PERFECT dog sitters for my girl Emma! I was instantly comfortable with them during the meet-and-greet. Emma was also immediately comfortable in their home. They were very focused on making sure they had all the information needed to make Emma's stay with them a positive experience. Emma and Roux became quick friends. During the four days I was away, I received multiple text messages and photos of Emma doing well in their home. I will DEFINITELY hire them again for future trips.”
“Second time booking with LeeAnn! I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my Zoey- she always takes such great care of her! Loved all the picture and video updates. Will book again for sure!”
“Our Koda had another fantastic overnight stay with Sarah, Taylor and Mango! He was thrilled to be with all of them and loved all his playtime, walks and love that he received. What a joy to know he was cared for with the best sitters. We look forward to using Sarah and Taylor’s service again.”
“Danny was awesome!! Very communicative, sent pics, and took such good care of Goose. He is a true dog lover and I felt so comfortable and safe with Goose in his care.”
“Amazing!!!! They took such good care of my pup with lots of pictures :)) Linda LOVES winnie they are the cuttest twins!! The best dog parents when i had to be away!! Thank you thank you!!!”
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 trouble makers to chill doodles I have plenty of experience and love for all types of dogs. I work remotely and spend most of my days in my office in my two bedroom apartment. I live alone and typically only leave during weekdays for the gym, grocery shopping and farmers markets as part of my daily routine. I am active and love to go on jogs to the beach to balance out the time I spend in front of screens. On weekends I like to go to coffee shops, golf, and occasionally get out of the city for a nature adventure. Dog sitting fits well into my chill routine. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but unfortunately I chose a career in sales after college. For several years I was lucky to have a roommate with a fluffy doodle who I loved and often took care of whenever he wasn’t around, but he has moved out. 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 all different types of dogs. If they are chill and just need love and attention, that works. If they need tons of walking and action, even better. I’ll be sending 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 my roommate left behind that I kept for pet sitting. 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.
“Teresa was an excellent sitter! We felt very comfortable with her from the time we reached out to set up a meet greet. She was very accommodating to our pups needs and sent plenty of photos and updates.”
“Vanessa was able to watch my dog last minute, and took very good care of him! I was very happy with the amount of attention he got, and I felt that he was very well cared for. I would book with Vanessa again in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rover for boarding so I was a bit anxious. I'm so grateful we found Kimberly! She took great care of China and Rupert. I appreciated the constant communication from beginning to end. She asked lots of questions during our Meet & Greet that helped me know that she is a very experienced and conscientious sitter. I selected the pick-up/drop-off add-on which was a huge help in terms of one less thing to think about with my trip. Kimberly was very punctual even with the early and late times. She sent continual updates and photos during the stay, which helped me be at ease while I was traveling and it was great to not have to constantly be asking how the dogs are doing. There were a couple of items left at Kimberly's house afterwards and she was really great about following up and getting them back to us. My pups returned happy and tired, which I consider an all-around excellent review!”
“He’s great! My dog Nova loved it there and looked so happy in all the pictures he sent. He played with her and even gave her some training. Was very responsive and very understanding.”
About: I have one dog right now but for most of my adult life I had 3, 2 Belgian Malinois and 1 Aussie shepherd. I have experience with all sorts of dogs from calm temperaments who love everyone to reactive dogs. Would love to help with your pet! I’m a nurse and work Monday - Friday (princess nurse job) looking to help in the mornings, lunch time and evenings! I am flexible and can work around your schedule as well! I have a dog walking path outside my complex, I’d keep our dogs separate and mine crated until they get used to each other. My dog gets along with everyone so it would be an easy transition
“Taynara and Matt were incredible. I felt so comfortable leaving my old pup with them and they took extra special care of him. Very communicative, easy to work with, and kind people.”
About: Pet care in San Diego! Ocean Beach, Gaslamp, Little Italy, Loma Portal and beyond. You can feel great knowing that your dog is in great hands and getting the attention they need. I have two dogs at home who are my absolute world, and what I look for in a pet sitter is someone who is safe, reliable, and spoils my dogs. That’s exactly why those are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I love to hike and explore. I am very energetic, reliable, friendly, and excited to help care for your pet! I have availability throughout week and have a very flexible schedule. I would love to help you care for your pet any time, any day! treat every pet like family. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I follow your routine so your pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.
