“May took very good care of our senior dog during the a holidays. She was attentive and sent us great pictures during her stay. She is usually nervous and stressed when boarding, but was happy and not anxious at all when arriving home. She went easily back to her normal routines. We are very happy with the special care provided to her and will absolutely use their services again! Thank you!”
“Takako and her husband were amazing! This was my first time leaving Gracie and they made me feel so comfortable about everything. I received daily updates and photos from Takako and they took such good care of Gracie. It was so easy to coordinate with them. I will definitely have them watch Gracie again in the future. I highly recommend!!”
“Michael was amazing with Manu! Sent pretty frequent updates and made sure he was kept busy with often walks and playtime! Highly recommend, definitely will use again!”
“Kimberly is fantastic. She is such warm and welcoming woman with a big hart and takes amazing care of our dog Henry. We had back to back weekend stays due to weddings and misc. travel and she was amazing. Henry our cavapoo loves being with a select group of doodles (usually 1 other dog along with her 2 dogs) and they all love to play and go on walks. Kimberly also does a great job at sharing photos of the dogs on walks, getting treats and playing in her clean/ manicured, tuff grass backyard. I especially love that Henry being a white dog stays perfectly clean unlike other sitters/ borders which saves us time and money not needing to get him bathed after a stay. Highly recommend Kimberly, especially if you have a small poodle- mix breed.”
“Yongzi took such incredible care of our dogs! She has watched them twice now and both times we got lots of updates and knew they were well taken care of. Our pups loved getting to run around in the backyard!”
“Ehda took wonderful care of my dear friend Nico. I could tell that she loves how wonderful dogs are, and it comforted me to leave him with someone who cared about him. Pictures everyday, super responsive to messaging, and flexible with scheduling. Thank you!”
“Our family is incredibly grateful for Julia's care of Theo and 8Ball during our family trip. Now that they're back home, both are active, healthy, and doing well. Their past few days have been comfortable and reassuring.”
“Winnie came home happy and calm. With our previous sitter, she was often anxious and it took an adjustment period to settle back in. After being in Claire's care, Winnie was noticeably relaxed and herself, not stressed. Claire communicated regularly and kept us informed how things were going. We will definitely reach out for Claire's help again.”
“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”
“Alix is an amazing person! She and her kids took great care of Zoya. They cuddled and played with her and took her with them to various fun activities. I got pictures and videos everyday and I could see Zoya had so much fun and was so happy staying with her family. I am so grateful that I found Alix! Thank you so much! ”
“Holly kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay and was very affectionate and loving toward my senior dog. She was attentive to his disabilities and made sure his special needs were met. She is a very kind and compassionate dog sitter. I can tell my dog truly enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Ruda is professional, and provides a truly safe and trusting environment for pets . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care. Both Nicole and Ruda are game with pet care instructions to a T and they kept us updated with walks, meals, and photos, so we always knew how Joy was doing. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they board. We had a wonderful experience boarding Joy with them . We felt completely comfortable leaving Joy in their care.”
“I cannot recommend Lena enough! She took absolutely amazing care of my dog while I was away, and she clearly treated my pup like her own. He got lots of exercise and I received regular updates and pictures. My dog definitely adored his time with Lena.”
“She took very good care of my dog and monitored her well with her other animals. Her cats were friendly and her children got along great with my puppy! She took heed to my care instructions on her feeding and made sure she was able to spend time outside! I was very pleased with her last minute acceptance to watch her”
“Robin was great! She was very communicative and kept us updated throughout our trip, including sending us pictures of our pup. We really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Margaret and Kyle were great!! I was sent pictures and videos of how my dog was doing, they communicated regularly with me, and my dog had a great time! Will be using her again and would highly recommend.”
“My dog came back super happy and clearly loved his stay! I received pictures of him playing and having a great time, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Anna took great care of our dog PJ while we were on vacation. She is nice and thorough, and I could tell PJ was in great hands. My anxious dog needed a calm and understanding environment and she was able to provide that. Anna was able to follow the feeding and other instructions easily, and communicated with me daily, providing pictures and videos of PJ while we were away. I think PJ enjoyed his time so much with Anna because he wasn’t really excited to see me back! Thank you Anna for taking in my quirky PJ and providing for his needs while we were on vacation. 😊”

“Marisa was so kind and patient with my dogs! She was quick to handle a difficult situation with my sick puppy. She was so kind and I was so appreciative of how she handled everything!”
“Karen was very reliable and tidy—she followed feeding and litter instructions well, and the house was left cleaner than I’m used to after cat sitters, which I appreciated. She took the time to explain how to use the app, carefully wrote down my instructions, and responded very quickly to messages. Communication was smooth and she arrived on time. A bit more interactive engagement would have been great, but overall, I’m grateful for the care she provided.”
“Marla was an incredible sitter!! She was kind, communicative, and went out of her way to help care for our diabetic kitty and our home. In the heat of summer we had some ants show up and wildfire scare while we were away. Marla was so thoughtful. Our kitty loved her and was happy when we came home. Thank you!! 💕🫶”
“Audrey was so great with our sweet cat, Milo. She is exceptionally timely, provides great updates and photos, and super resourceful - helping us troubleshoot an issue with our autofeeder. We are super appreciative. This was our second time working with Audrey, and we will again!”
“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”
“Brittany did an excellent job of stopping in daily to take care of our two kitties while we were away. She shared pictures of each visit, communicated efficiently and effectively, left the house tidy, and Samson and Delilah seemed perfectly content on our return. We’d be very happy to hire Brittany for future trips!”
About: Hi, I’m Daisy! I have three cats of my own—Hehe and Haha (15) and Toto (1)—all of whom I’ve raised since they were kittens. I come from a big cat-loving family and have years of experience fostering cats of all ages. I'm familiar with everything from senior cat care and administering special diets to keeping playful kittens engaged and happy. Whether your cat needs extra cuddles, medication, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm here to help! I currently work full-time as a research associate, but I love spending my free time with animals! Pet care fits perfectly into my evenings and weekends, and I’m happy to do early mornings or drop-ins depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is a joyful break from the lab! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. With experience caring for senior cats, young kittens, and pets with special diets, I understand the importance of being attentive and gentle, especially when meeting new animals. I'm very clean and organized, and I make sure to leave your home just as I found it. I take the time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“I cannot recommend Brianna enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my cat, Henry, while I was away, and her attentiveness and care were truly outstanding. Brianna kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, which not only let me see how happy and well-cared-for Henry was but also gave me so much peace of mind. She clearly loves what she does and took the time to make Henry feel comfortable and cared for. Knowing I could trust her completely made my time away so much easier. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated, Brianna is absolutely the best choice. Thank you, Brianna, for going above and beyond!”
“Nataliya took fantastic care of our two kitties! She was very reliable, great at communicating and really cares about the animals in her care ☺️ I would highly recommend her! You couldn’t choose anyone better.”
“What a great person with intelligence, wit and so dependable. I can’t brag on Gina enough! She’s definitely going to be my go to favorite! Very attentive to my fat cat and actually got close! My cat just doesn’t do that but I think they became friends.”
“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”
About: I have lived with so many different animals, I am highly observant. I can quickly pick up on subtle changes in a pet's mood or health, ensuring they feel safe and understood while you are away. I am College student who has entered his summer break. I want to use this time to enjoy my time with pets and earn cash. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique routine. Whether at your home or mine, I ensure a safe, nurturing environment with plenty of play, companionship, and reliable consistency.
“We had a wonderful experience with Zhongyu! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and gentle with our cat. She sent detailed updates and photos during each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Shaneli was AMAZING! We reached out with a last minute request due to our other sitter cancelling, and she was super responsive. Our Bunny is a little nervous, but she immediately took to Shaneli. I couldn’t believe it!! Highly recommend, can’t wait to have her again.”
“Ehda is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my kitty, Disco, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was communicative, reliable, and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. I felt completely comfortable leaving Disco in her care, and I could tell he was well-loved and looked after. I will definitely be booking with Ehda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: Hello! My name is Cecelia and I am so excited to get to know you and your pet! Growing up, I have always had a dog in my house and all of my extended family members have pets as well. I love going to parks and finding exciting and fun places. I love taking walks and am able to handle any sized pet. I have my own transportation so errands are not a problem. When not at work, my schedule is very flexible and I am a very easy going person. I work in biotech M-F and have weekends off. I will always send pics of your fur baby and as many updates as you’d like! I have a mini goldendoodle (30lbs) named Ollie who is such a love bug and gets along with any sized dog. Cant wait to meet your fur baby :) M-F I work in office for about 9 hours a day and am home no later than 4pm most days. When home, I love to take my dog on walks around the neighborhood or take him to a park. On the weekends, I bring my dog to get coffee with me and we take a walk on the beach. I love being as active as I can with my dog and would love for your pet to join us! I provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment with plenty of exercise, attention, and supervision. I live in a dog-friendly condo community directly across from a park, so dogs enjoy regular walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time throughout the day. We also take neighborhood walks on the many nearby sidewalks, and sometimes stroll through One Paseo for new sights and smells (with owner approval). On weekends, I’m typically home, so pets receive lots of companionship and aren’t left alone for long periods. When I do run errands, I often bring dogs along if we’re visiting pet-friendly places. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their routine as close to home as possible.
About: I have been caring for cats for the past 6 years and understand that every cat has its own unique personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for my brother and sister-in-law’s two cats, including one who requires regular medical care and close attention. As a military medic with 7 years of experience, I understand the importance of following care instructions precisely, monitoring for changes, and providing reliable, attentive care—especially for pets with medical conditions. Whether your cat needs medication, a strict feeding schedule, extra patience, or simply companionship while you’re away, I will treat them with the same kindness and respect I would expect for my own pets. I believe in clear, honest, reliable, and frequent communication. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Tell me how you care for your cat, and I will follow your instructions to the letter. You can trust me to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your feline family member.
“Oh wow! On top of already being a wonderful sitter with drop-in visits, there was an emergency (saw on my pet cam) at my place when our litter-robot malfunctioned :( Texted Caitlin last minute and she immediately came over that same day to try to fix it. When fixing didn’t work, she also went out of her way to go to the store and bought a litter box when the litter-robot stayed broken. She’s seriously AMAZING! Thank you so much for your time and effort, Caitlin! Truly recommend her as a sitter!!”
About: I have been caring for animals all of my life. Friends, family, and neighbors have been relying on me to sit for their pets since I was 10 years old. I had a dog (Weimeraner) growing up that I took care of and a cat (tuxedo) later on in life. I value my time with all pets. I look forward to continuing my journey to brighten up their days! ☀️ I currently control my work schedule and am cutting my hours in my full-time position, in order to dedicate more time to pet sit. I am around daily unless out of town, in which I have a trusted sitter that I am able to refer. I do not have pets at home but do have a furnished apartment and patio, in which the pets are able to roam around in. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.

“Christy did an awesome job watching my dog - she was great with communication and sent so many pictures and videos while he was there! The second day pulling onto her street, he got soo excited in the car that he was coming back and having the closed in backyard was great for my energetic dog, would definitely recommend!”
“Angelica took such great care of our 4 month old puppy, Tapioca. She sent us pictures throughout the day and took him on 3 walks! Plus, their dachshund, Copper, was also wonderful playmate. We will definitely reach out again for dog sitting with Angelica.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our two puppies. This is our first time leaving our puppies in the care of someone else and we feel very fortunate that we found a family that will love them like we do. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“I am thrilled to have found Deborah on Rover. My little newly adopted rescue dog has separation anxiety and I’ve needed to have her in daycare several times a week. Deborah and her family and dog, Teddy, have provided a second home for my pup. She has thrived in the safe, caring, loving environment of their home. Deborah is reliable and responsive, and has been very accommodating to my needs. She is cheerful, friendly and kind, always giving me peace of mind while I’m away.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends. I am pretty open nowadays. Ready to take care of your furry babies as much as needed! Also, have my helpers ( my kids off school, are ready to help)! Right now I am open to come and take care of your pets! Always willing to come first to get to know your pets, and introduce myself. Folowing the rules and instructions- that’s number one priority. Safety, Trust, Care and Love only!
“She is the BEST!! Thank you for taking wonderful care of our dog Cosmo while we were away. She is very attentive and knowledgable with dogs. He was tired when we got home, which tells me he had a great time and got plenty of exercise & attention. She provided frequent updates of how our dog was doing which gave us so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Ehda was very sweet and very accommodating. My dog responded to her very well. Ehda sent us pics of our dog while we were away. I really couldn’t have been more happy with her service and demeanor. I would definitely use her again, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“Caity was super responsive when it came to trying to book daycare for my dog! Her dog got along with mine super well, and they loved to play. She gave me updates while he was there, and for the meet and greet she hung out with my dog for an hour so we could make sure he would do okay, and I could run some errands!”
“Julia made our San Diego visit so much more enjoyable as she watched our fur baby. She was very prompt, responsive, and flexible. Definitely requesting her again for our next visit.”
“This was my first rover so I was admittedly quite nervous. Not only for myself, but even my dogs caretaker as at 4 months old, she can still have puppy like tics. Despite it all, Linda was communicative, thorough and a joy to interact with. You can tell her family has a great vibe, and that reflects in how they treat their dogs. I’m especially appreciative that we were a bit late to pick my pup up due to some traffic and Linda was so understanding and patient. Two paws way way up ?”
“We are very thankful we met Alana. She was amazing with our dog Buddy and he was comfortable staying in her home. Our dog is now a senior dog and we highly recommend Alana as she took good care of him. We look forward to having Buddy stay with her again soon!”
“Lena is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! Not only did she take amazing care of my pup Leo and wore him out with all the fun adventures, but she also saved the day with her flexibility. I had a last-minute booking, and Lena was incredibly accommodating, making sure Leo had a blast despite the short notice. She kept me updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, putting my mind at ease. If you need someone reliable, loving, and flexible for your furry friend, Lena is the one to call. Leo can't wait for his next visit with her!”
About: Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets from time to time. I’ve also grown up with dogs, having a couple of my own. I am currently working part-time, so my hours are incredibly flexible throughout the summer months. Weekdays and weekends are equally available for me. Thank you. I give pets the necessary attention that they need. Keeping pets entertained and comfortable is very important. I like to make sure that the animals are getting exercise and eating enough.
“Great sitter! Suki took to her immediately at our meet and greet and got along with Shaneli’s dog Chai super well too. No problems with pick up or drop off and shaneli was very communicative with pictures and tests through the day. She even gave suki a rain coat for her walk”
“I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!”
“I am very grateful to find Shuo to take care of my dog. From the moment my dog met her, it was clear they hit it off — she’s a natural with dogs! She’s experienced, pays attention to detail, and truly cares about dogs. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!"”
“I needed a place for my fur baby to stay while my housekeepers were cleaning and I contacted Ruda. He responded right away and was able to provide daycare for my dog with 24 hour notice. You can tell Ruda is a "dog person" and he took very good care of my boy and took him on walks even though he didn't have a very long stay at his home. Drop off and pick up was super easy too. Thanks Ruda! We will be coming back again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my house at all times, and have a lifetime of experience walking, feeding, and taking care of them over the years. Recently, my childhood dog Kona (a sheepdog mutt) crossed the rainbow bridge, and I really miss being around dogs. As a kid, I taught Kona how to fetch when she was 5 months old, tricks and commands (sit, roll over, speak, shake), and I cut her long sheepdog coat about every other month for almost 10 years :). My recent experience includes dog sitting, walking, and helping raise my sisters’ dogs (ranging from a 1 month old lab to a 15 year old husky mix). I also cat sit (2 cats) for my friend in New York when I visit. I’ve been told I have a special gift of connecting with dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with them :) I’ve even worked with dogs on-set for clients at work! I’m a competitive lacrosse player, so I am already active and have the strength to handle bigger breeds. My sister’s 1-year old lab is almost 80lbs and I take care of him regularly. Looking for some extra opportunities to go on walks/runs and stay active!! I also grew up in San Diego and currently have a lot of schedule flexibility since I freelance for work. I currently freelance and have a light load of clients at the moment, so I have a lot of time and flexibility. I can be available weekdays and weekends. I’d love consistent schedules but can be available for last minute or one off bookings as well. I am very respectful of others’ spaces, and can follow rules very well if your dog(s) need to be crated, only in certain rooms, etc. I won’t enter or use any part of your home that you don’t feel comfortable with and will always default to the side of caution to ensure your privacy and trust. Also, if your dog has a favorite walking route I’m happy to utilize familiar environments as well! Please let me know about any specifics and I’d always gladly accept feedback.
About: I can understand the sometimes uneasy feeling of leaving your four legged family member with someone else. That’s where I come in! I will be your pet’s new best friend and take care of them with the love and care that I would for my own - making sure runners don’t escape, that your daschund is picked up mindfully of their back, your maltipoo’s coat is maintained, your anxious dog is approached with gentleness and patience. No pet care is one-size-fits all and I will customize your pet’s experience to their individualized needs and desires. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting both large and small dogs. Behavioral correction is the priority and I may be a small person, but if your dog pulls, I can lift 145+ lbs. I have experience from training puppies all the way up to senior dog care. I can care for senior dogs and accommodate to any mobility issues as well! I care for the safety and emotional wellbeing of all animals and provide compassionate care. I’m excited to meet my new friend! Let me know if there any questions or concerns I can address and we can work on a game plan for your little one. Depending on the day I may be available throughout the morning/afternoon/evening. Generally house sitting is available every day. Weekend availability varies but I can be accommodating based on scheduling requirements. I offer care in the client’s home only as of right now, and can provide excursions for extra enrichment as needed. I can help with exercising active dogs in an effective manner this way.
“So kind and accommodating! My poor guy was limping and had been stung by a bee and she went and checked on him for me while I had to go into work quickly before taking him to the vet. She sat with him and gave him lots of love and was so nice. Would definitely use her again!!”
“Great picures always reassures the owner how a dog behaves and enjoys. Alex arrives, consistently on time, does not make any assumptions and asks the right questions for any concerns regarding my dog. I am hastle free of any doubts or concerns when my dog is cared by Alex, as my dog hurdles past anything to reassure me what a great walk he just had!”
“Garrett was awesome walking my 2 pups. Garrett really helped us of a bind at short notice. He was responsive, friendly and my dogs immediately liked him from the moment they met!”
“Brittany walks my golden weekly and always does a great job! She is punctual, attentive, and a good communicator. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to take care of their fur child.”
“Rachel has been great with our dogs! She’s reliable, communicative, and always sends photos and updates after her visits, which we really appreciate. Our puppy, Harlow, has a lot of energy, and our older dog, Dixie Mae, has a very different pace, but Rachel does a wonderful job with both of them. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We’re so happy we found Rachel and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.”
“Lyndsey was great!. Although I didn’t meet her I was grateful she could let Teddy out with her busy schedule She was flexible with walk times, posted pictures of my pup and was communicative on the app which is awesome ! As a fellow nurse I felt safe having her come to our place and walk Teddy - I will def use her again!”
About: I have many years of experience with dogs. From having three of my own dogs to volunteering at Helen Woodward during high school. I also have been a reliable pet sitter for anyone in my neighborhood for the past few years! I moved home for college and am all online so I will be around 24/7 and will make sure your dog or cat has all the attention it needs! I live in a home with a big back yard that is fenced off! I absolutely love animals and it makes me so happy to be able to work from home doing what I love! Your pets safety and happiness are my number one priority.

About: I've been caring for dogs and other pets since I was young, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and overnight care. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, cats, and pets with different personalities and routines. I'm also a dog and cat owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet's normal schedule and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away and to give you peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures! I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve! I'm available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I'm happy to work with your pet's normal routine and schedule whenever possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my priority. I'll carefully follow any routines, feeding instructions, medications, walking preferences, or special care needs you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I am respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I'm also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away!
About: I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, having raised and trained two of my own. I know how much patience, consistency, and calm energy it takes to help a nervous or reactive pup feel safe, and I’ve spent countless hours on exposure work and training to do just that. Whether your dog is shy, anxious, or still learning their manners, they’re in understanding hands with me Caring for dogs is part of my daily rhythm. Between my own dog and the time I spend on walks and play, dogs are always in my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and giving your pup the time and attention they deserve I’ll always come to you, where your dog feels safest. I’ll follow whatever routine your pup already knows, and when we’re walking, my phone stays in my pocket so your dog has my full attention. I always keep the leash secure and lock up before I go. If your dog is reactive, you’re in good hands. I’ve had two reactive dogs of my own, so I know how to stay calm, read the signs, and move them away from triggers before things get to be too much. Either way, you’ll get photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and safe
“Debbie is absolutely a gem! She was so open to walking Cuzco for me, he felt comfortable with her. She kept up in communication with me while I was away. She went above and beyond for him, and I’m so grateful!”
About: From walking my first childhood dog at 6 to caring for loved ones' dogs throughout my teens, I knew I loved pet care! I specialize in stubborn and/or hyperactive pups! I have walked dogs of all sizes and love getting to know each of their personalities. I am also an experienced photographer and would love to capture some frameable shots of your dog during a drop-in or walk! I have lived in San Diego for about 14 years now, so I am knowledgeable about all the best dog-walking trails/routes, especially in the Del Mar area! I can't wait to meet you and your pup :) I just graduated from UCLA and moved back home to San Diego, so I have a lot of newfound time on my hands! I am available throughout the day on weekdays and have no problems walking early in the morning or later at night. I recognize that all pets have different needs, wants, and personalities that warrant hyper-individualized care. I make specified folders for each dog I care for that list preferences, dos/dont's, and any other important information.
“Halle was great! Willing to help us out when we realized last minute that we would need a daily dog walker during our trip. She was prompt, reliable, and trustworthy. Would highly recommend.”

On weekends, I’m typically home, so pets receive lots of companionship and aren’t left alone for long periods. When I do run errands, I often bring dogs along if we’re visiting pet-friendly places. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their routine as close to home as possible.
“The absolute best dog walker on the planet! Mind, caring and conscientious. Really wants the animals to have a good time. Took excellent care of my pup, amazing communication. Got back to me right away! I’m absolutely so happy to have made a great connection.”
“We love Carina! Our mini Aussie shepherd puppy adores walks with her. She is incredibly attentive, sweet and knowledgeable, has a great response time and is awesome about sending thorough updates and lots of lovely photos! It’s super evident that every walk is a fun and enriching experience for our little pup with Carina. We’re big fans 🥰🐾 Highly recommend!!”
About: I am an animal lover that is passionate about caring for all animals, specifically rescue animals and animals that may require unique behavioral support or have special needs. My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.

“Yongzi took such incredible care of our dogs! She has watched them twice now and both times we got lots of updates and knew they were well taken care of. Our pups loved getting to run around in the backyard!”
“Ehda took wonderful care of my dear friend Nico. I could tell that she loves how wonderful dogs are, and it comforted me to leave him with someone who cared about him. Pictures everyday, super responsive to messaging, and flexible with scheduling. Thank you!”
“Our family is incredibly grateful for Julia's care of Theo and 8Ball during our family trip. Now that they're back home, both are active, healthy, and doing well. Their past few days have been comfortable and reassuring.”
“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”
“Alix is an amazing person! She and her kids took great care of Zoya. They cuddled and played with her and took her with them to various fun activities. I got pictures and videos everyday and I could see Zoya had so much fun and was so happy staying with her family. I am so grateful that I found Alix! Thank you so much! ”
“Holly kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay and was very affectionate and loving toward my senior dog. She was attentive to his disabilities and made sure his special needs were met. She is a very kind and compassionate dog sitter. I can tell my dog truly enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Margaret and Kyle were great!! I was sent pictures and videos of how my dog was doing, they communicated regularly with me, and my dog had a great time! Will be using her again and would highly recommend.”
“My dog came back super happy and clearly loved his stay! I received pictures of him playing and having a great time, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Anna took great care of our dog PJ while we were on vacation. She is nice and thorough, and I could tell PJ was in great hands. My anxious dog needed a calm and understanding environment and she was able to provide that. Anna was able to follow the feeding and other instructions easily, and communicated with me daily, providing pictures and videos of PJ while we were away. I think PJ enjoyed his time so much with Anna because he wasn’t really excited to see me back! Thank you Anna for taking in my quirky PJ and providing for his needs while we were on vacation. 😊”
“Our pup who is often overly shy with new dogsitters easily adjusted to Cori and Chris (her quickest transition so far as she was snoring on the couch within the first hour). They are both so welcoming, patient, and kind— we already have our second stay booked. Sophie gives her first stay two paws up!”
“Olivia and Sebastien were awesome caregivers for our dog, Koa! I found them last minute, after our usual sitters were unavailable to help with boarding for an out of town trip. They made the time for a quick meet and greet with their dog, Zuko which was appreciated. During our trip, I got photos and videos to reassure me that Koa was doing ok. I would absolutely welcome their help again in the future!”
“Amazing and friendly place. My dog had a great time playing the entire time. They have a nice and big backyard with lots of playtime, my dog felt like home. They are very nice, accommodating, flexible and understanding. Absolutely recommend this place.”
“This sitter was amazing with my Husky. I have never left her with anyone aside from family because she needs to be watched constantly and she has horrible separation anxiety. My dog immediately took to her when introduced. I was nervous leaving her there, but immediately got photos showing me Bella was OK. She checked in throughout the day. And when I picked Bella up, my dog was excited to see me, but she wasn’t the anxiety riddled full of stress she would normally be after being left. I cannot have asked for more.”
“Brooke went above and beyond for our pups over the holidays! We feel so lucky to have found her. We have two senior dogs that typically are sat at our house, but had to find somewhere else for them to stay this year and Brooke made them feel right at home. They loved staying with her. She also sent a ton of photos and videos which we appreciated so much. Could not recommend her more!!”
“Contacted Linda to watch Hazel for 10 days while we were out of the country. I had complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be in good hands after meeting Linda and her dog (Sammie). Was given updates while I was gone and was extremely satisfied and would recccomend her services to friends and family looking to board their dog.”
“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”
