“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: 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.
“Xochitl did such a great job caring for my dog Salt!! She sent daily check ins and photos and she also had great flexibility when my flight home was very delayed. I would definitely book again.”
“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!!”
“Maya enjoyed her stay once again! Thanks for taking such great care of her and sending fun updates of her day while we were out of town. She can’t wait for her next visit!”
“Chanel was absolutely amazing with our cat, made sure he was super comfortable and happy and he was! She definitely gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well taken care of!”
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!
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Joe and Carol were wonderful! They are kind, caring and conscientious. It was so nice to receive the pictures and updates they sent throughout our vacation. I would highly recommend Joe and Carol. ”

“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!”
“Robin and Rahn took fabulous care of Mabel! She takes some time to warm up to people and they made her feel right at home and sent us several delightful updates. Would have Mabel stay with them again.”

“Tina was WONDERFUL! She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When our cat got sick, Tina came early the next morning to check on him, make sure he was okay, and kept us updated even more than usual. We were so grateful for her care, responsiveness, and attention during a stressful situation. I’m so glad we booked with Tina and would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I believe that a happy dog in the home is essential and a precursor to a happy life overall, and I strive to bring the same attentiveness and care that I share with my own pup to any pets I have the privilege of taking care of through my services on Rover. When we meet the basic needs of our precious companions throughout the day, we have more freedom to bond with them, and them with us, and that’s where I come in! I want to help you meet your home pet care needs and goals so you can feel confident that when you come home after a busy day, you are coming home to a dog or a cat that is happy and well taken care of. I want to ensure that your pet’s routines stay intact, that they get plenty of exercise when needed, that they stay safe, and it is a joy to me to provide that service! I work from home, and my day is already built around caring for a dog. Morning walk first thing, breakfast, play, a walk around 5:30 for dinner, evening walk before bed, with attention and rest woven in between. I follow instructions exactly, keep your pet's routine intact, send photo updates, and treat your home and your dog's space the way I'd want someone to treat mine. On walks, I match the pace to the dog, calm dogs get a relaxed walk, energetic ones we stay moving, and I stay attentive to reactivity triggers and adjust accordingly.
“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!”
“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!!”
About: My whole life I've been around cats, such curious and beautiful animals! They have always been drawn to me, even the most cautious. Kitty cuddles and play time are important when you're away. I can't wait to meet your lil furry family member!
“Sara was phenomenal. She left detailed daily updates, took plenty of pics, stayed on top of our cat’s litter box, and even spent time working with him on using his scratching post. So glad we hired her to help while we were out of town, we will be planning to work with her again!”
“She was amazing with my cats and with my fish:) she made sure to send plenty of pictures with each visit and kept me updated as well. She’s also very friendly and kind and is very easy to talk to and communicate with. If you’re looking for a sitter for you animals don’t hesitate to contact Evelyn! She’s great:)”
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.
“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!”
“Chanel did a great job looking after our cat. She sent daily updates and always replied fast to messages. I feel so much better knowing she was well taken care of!”
About: Whether your cat is shy/fearful, overstim, high energy, and or super confident, I meet your cat wherever their needs are! I aim to provide your cat a sense of safety, confidence, and love while you are away and have experience with cats of all ages, behavior, and medical needs. I have had the privilege of living with cats my whole life and have 7 years experience in working with cats, from neonates to seniors in a shelter environment.

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.
About: . I have experience and training in handling puppies, so I know how to give them the care they need during their early stages. Moreover, I am skilled in providing specialized care for senior pets, understanding their specific needs and ensuring their comfort. With my caring nature and ability to adapt to different situations, I am well-prepared to take care of pets of all ages. Whether it's training puppies or looking after older pets, I am dedicated to providing the best care and ensuring their happiness. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I spend a lot of time at home and enjoy giving dogs a calm, structured environment during the day. We go on walks, visit the park, and have plenty of playtime and relaxation. My brother’s friendly dog is also in the home, so visiting dogs have a companion to keep them company. I keep the environment relaxed and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I provide comprehensive pet care services both in my own home and at my client's home, tailored to the specific needs of each pet and the service requested. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment, providing food, water, exercise, and playtime for pets. I follow any specific instructions or routines provided by the pet owners to maintain consistency and familiarity. In the client's home, I adapt to the pet's surroundings, following the established routine and providing the same level of care, including feeding, exercise, and any necessary grooming. Whether it's pet sitting, dog walking, or other services, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve.

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.
“Incredible care! I was traveling to town for school and she was not only available at the last minute, but very responsive and communicative. Very good with my girl Nala. And very reliable. Will absolutely book again!”
About: * 2+ dogs I only offer house sitting at your place no boarding* Coverage area Point Loma and OB or 10 minutes from MCRD*now booking October-December 2026* I love dogs! Big or small, young or old, your fur baby will be loved and entertained. I like to go on walks daily, I also offer house sitting, so your pup can stay where he or she is more comfortable. No extra charge for extra pets :) House sitting rate includes overnight stay and a mid day walk. Most days I will stay at your house longer than that, but that’s the bare minimum you can expect. I live my life out of your house and will be in and out during the day. As a dog mom, I know how hard it is to find someone you trust around your babies! I will love on them and make sure they are happy. . I usually do a short walk in the morning, another one around mid day, and a longer one in the afternoon. I look forward to meeting your pup! Two or more dogs from the same family, I stay at your house . I can handle medication, injections, and bathe them if needed. I spend extra time at the beginning building a bond with your dog, and making sure he/she is comfortable around me. I'm happy sleeping with your dogs in bed. I don't really have a set schedule, if your pup is good in the car and happy to go on adventures, I take them along if I'm running an errand or going to lunch, if they're happy at home, I come back for pee breaks. I am rarely out at night. If I am staying at your place, I ask that you turn off inside puppy cameras. I never bring dogs from another family into your home. I usually cross the street when we walk, even if your dog is friendly, because you never know who is coming. If your dog has a great come back command, I'm happy to do off leash areas, but usually take the time to bond with a leash before doing that.
“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.
“Alexandra was OUTSTANDING. Excellent communication, on time, reliable, and so kind to my new rescue. I had several people decline taking my new 1 yr old rescue but Alexandra came to my rescue! I will for sure be using her service again. She was so patient and gentle. Her own pups look so happy, that tells you a lot. And my pup was so happy to see Alexandra and her pups daily for daycare. 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. 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 have had many dogs and help take care of many dogs. I have never had a problem and dogs are always happy with me. Respectfully will only watch dogs that are friendly, loving, and not aggressive. I work full time from home so can be with your dog all day :) happy to walk them and play with them through out the day. They wouldn’t have to be locked up all day. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too
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).
“Isabella was a life saver for us during our visit to California. We last minute needed a sitter and she was available and was great with both my pups. Would book again”

“Brian is the best! We are so lucky to have found him. He’s very sweet with our dog and we appreciate his kind heart and flexibility with our schedule and our lil guy Max. Wonderful sitter”
“Thank you, Leah, for giving Bodhi the space & time he needs in order to properly warm up to new humans and dogs. He’s had a rough life until now, but w/your help, he’s starting to be more trusting and willing to leave me. Thank you again!”

About: I was raised a dog person and have turned into an animal person! I have 10 years experience working as a Vet Tech. I have cared for ages ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I am currently a stay at home dog mom and have a fairly open schedule. I have a pug named Peanut who is my whole world. My pug Peanut is fed twice a day and has her water bowl refreshed with fresh water daily. She goes on walks twice a day and enjoys her time outside. Peanut requires tons of attention and demands to be pet often. She is also bathed once a week. She also enjoys playing fetch as much as possible!
About: I am a lover of the natural world and all it's animals. I have sat for friends and family's dogs, cats, snakes, and birds since my early 20s. I have also fostered a sweet angel pit mix who came to the shelter malnourished with multiple tumors on her body and a broken hind leg. I administered her daily medications, nourished her body and slowly helped her heal throughout and after multiple surgeries to remove her tumors and amputate her leg before finding her furever home. It was a gift to see her grow stronger and thrive as a silly goofy girl. I am patient, attentive, and easily adapt to your pets needs whether it's on walks or cozy at home. I currently live with two dogs who I love and adore and often help my roommate care for them with daily walks and cuddles. I can't wait to meet your pets and help them feel comfortable and happy while you're away. I am currently in between jobs due to lay offs so I am available anytime week days and weekends for all day care and would love to meet your fur babies! I love to be active, outdoors, and move my body so daily dog walks are a sweet retreat and exploration for the both of us. I have experience walking multiple dogs at once as well. I make sure to review all needs and requirements for each animal ahead of time with their owner(s) and ask any additional questions if necessary. I give them my utmost care and attention. I am extremely patient and safety is my priority.
“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.”
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.
About: I love animals of all kind. I grew up with dogs. I now have 2 cats that we rescued and a 14.5 year old pup I am currently not working full time, so I can watch your animals whenever needed. I prefer walk and play time, but can stay over night if needed. I understand the importance of dogs and cats being in their home I treat every animal like they are my own. At our house the animals have free rain over the house but I understand the importance of crating and whatever needs the pets have.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life, including dogs of all sizes. I am experienced in giving medications, walking, feeding, and taking out for potty breaks and doing so in a loving and patient manner. As an animal lover I also like to give back to the animal community and have done so by volunteering at the animal shelter where I have learned so much. I am a former Registered Nurse so I have plenty of experience administering shots and I am currently looking into vet tech schools to pursue a new exciting career working closely with animals of all kinds. I am excited to meet you and your furry friends. I currently have 2 cats and 3 grand pups. That’s right. All 3 of my children have adorable dogs and I help care for them every week. I enjoy walking them, feeding them and playing with them. I would have a dog of my own too, but I live in a tiny apartment and my 2 cats, Simba and Floyd are my best friends. I have worked as a dog walker in the past for a company in Carlsbad where I gained valuable experience. I will provide exceptional care for your pets in your home. I will feed, water, walk and play and take them out for potty breaks. I can administer medication as well. I am patient and caring with a background in nursing. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members.

“Ashley was great! Sent plenty of pics and a video of her playing with my dog Molly! She was great at communicating cating with me about their walk. I would recommend her and use her again in the future!”
About: I am a college educated adult male. I live in Point Loma. I work at home and am typically very flexible. I walk my own dog twice daily and figured I could help others out. I have had dogs for 20 years. Currently my family of five has a Aussie Poo named Suzie. She is a lot of energy. So she gets lots walks. Our last dog lived 13 years so I know how to manage elderly dogs. Let me know if you need help. I work at home and am around most days to be able to work with your schedule. I have a professional career and thought doing some dog walking or sitting would get me out of the house. Looking forward to helping others out. I would like to offer my services for your pup as you need. I would prefer to watch them and care from them outside of my own home. But I am also flexible.
“Emily J. filled in at the last minute for my weekly Saturday afternoon walk. She is very friendly, and my dog liked her instantly. She is on time and professional. I would definitely recommend her as a walker.”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. I grew up with a golden retriever named Moonie, who we adopted from the San Diego Humane Society. He was my beach buddy and loved our walks at Fiesta Island. He’ll always have a special place in my heart. 💛 After he passed, I adopted my sweet cat Chubbs 🐾 I’ve also volunteered at the Butte Humane Society, where I cared for and played with senior cats, it taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to read each cat’s unique personality. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. My availability is pretty open, and I’m happy to adjust to your schedule and your pet’s specific needs to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. 🐾 At home, I care for my cat Chubbs by keeping a consistent routine — daily playtime, regular feeding, and making sure his litter box is always clean. He also enjoys supervised outdoor time, so I’m very mindful about keeping a close eye on him whenever he’s outside. I bring that same level of attention and care to every cat I watch. Whether your cat is strictly indoors or enjoys some outdoor time, I’ll follow your preferences closely to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable.
About: Hi, I’m Emma! I’m a proud Aussie mom to Calcifer, who I’ve raised on my own since he was just eight weeks old. That experience gave me a deep understanding of puppies under one year—and a lot of patience for reactive or high-energy dogs. So if your pup’s a little wild, no worries here. I bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them settle while you’re away. I offer drop-ins and walks—whatever helps your dog feel safe, seen, and happy until you’re home. Think of me as their new favorite “Auntie Em,” who spoils them just enough. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing extra love and patience. With over 18 years of hands-on experience, I know every pet has their own personality and unique needs—and I treat each one like family. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel secure, loved, and happy while you’re away. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily and weekly routine because animals have always been part of my life. From afternoon walks and playtime to evening cuddles, I enjoy making space each day to meet their needs with love and consistency. Whether it’s feeding, walking, basic training, or just providing company, I prioritize creating a safe, happy rhythm for pets that blends seamlessly into my lifestyle. In my home, pets are treated like family with plenty of space for play, rest, and cuddles. I maintain their regular feeding schedules, provide enrichment, and ensure a safe, clean environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and preferences—whether it’s feeding, playing or cozy snuggle time—so pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: Veteran who is an avid rescuer of both cats and dogs. I have been rehabilitating rescued dogs for 12 years and I have had a cat my entire life. I currently volunteer at the San Diego Humane Society as part of their dog team. I specialize in dealing with timid dogs (My own dogs have been from a rescue with behavioral waivers) and helping dogs learn basic obedience procedures (sit, stay, heal, law down) while walking. My passion is helping animals feel safe. On week days, I am available after 5pm and I am available all weekend. I enjoy giving dogs the amount of exercise and stimulation needed to help alleviate stress, loneliness and anxiety. Furthermore, I am more than qualified to clean litter boxes, feed your animals and provide a safe and reliable person within your home. Now that I have returned to office full time, I am not longer unavailable for mid day walks, but I do still welcome the opportunity to walk/feed your pets in my non work hours. I have experience taking care of your animals in your home where there is minimal interruption in their daily routine, no matter how many special instructions need to be followed.
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, tarantulas, frogs, and turtles as pets. With over 20 years of pet-sitting experience, my services were mostly sought by family and friends. I've always been the go-to person in my family for pet care needs. I've house-sat my parents' two dogs numerous times, including a continuous four-month period while they traveled across the country in their RV. I regularly board one of my sister's cats when she's away for work and also take care of my other sister's dog, providing both walking and boarding services when she travels. I am a high school math teacher. So, I’m off during the summer. That gives me lots of free time where I can care for your pets. I live in a 3 bedroom 2 bath house, about 1200 square feet. My backyard is gated and has grass for pets to play on.
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.

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!
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
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
“I’m very glad to have had Ken take care of my lab, Renzo. From our initial meet-and-greet, he was very kind, and we had an extensive conversation about our expectations and Renzo’s needs. He was very accommodating and sent me several updates and pictures while I was away. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets.”
“I highly recommend Michael! I’ve already boarded my dog at his place twice, and I can tell my dog has been well loved and cared for. Michael be my go-to for sure. He is also super responsive and understanding, especially when I had to request boarding at last minute.”
About: I have had many dogs and help take care of many dogs. I have never had a problem and dogs are always happy with me. Respectfully will only watch dogs that are friendly, loving, and not aggressive. I work full time from home so can be with your dog all day :) happy to walk them and play with them through out the day. They wouldn’t have to be locked up all day. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too
“We would highly recommend Sam as a dog sitter based on our initial stay last weekend. Sam provided daily updates on how our Minnie was doing along with sending photos with Minnie smiling and appearing very comfortable with her temporary “Mom” and new family, JJ, Sam’s very sweet and playful dog.”
“Michelle was wonderful patient flexible and took great care of of our dog who ended up having a special medical needs that arose that morning. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our first time using Jordan, and it was a great experience from start to finish. She was super attentive and kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated. She even took the time to meet Kai beforehand, which made us feel so much more comfortable. She was always responsive and worked around our schedule—every time we messaged her, she got back to us quickly. Communication was easy the whole time. Kai came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re already planning to rebook with Jordan!”
“My little shy guy thrived with Kristen! He’s usually pretty reserved but he was already playing and having a blast on the first day. Kristen was great about sharing updates and communicating. She treated my pup with empathy and care. We hope to be back!”
