“Great guy and he takes great care of my dog. I never feel worried when I’m away and I leave Moti with Donovan. As long as I’m in San Diego, I will most likely be using Donovan when I need someone to care for Moti.”
“I can't thank Carol and.Joe enough for taking care.of Mimi during my recent hip joint surgery. They were flexible with pickup dates and drop-off times due to surgery schedule. I was able.to.dropoff some of Mimi's fave toys and her pillow which l had forgotten. Mimi looked happy in the photos of her on her pillow that they sent me and videos of her energetic "sniff fests". When l was discharged they volunteered to bring over any groceries l needed when they brought Mimi back which meant a lot. Mimi bonded with Carol and was happy to see her. I feel confident and relieved knowing l can board Mimi with them when l need to. 5 🌟”
“Chanel took amazing care of my cat, Pespes, for three weeks while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind knowing Pespes was doing well and being looked after. When I came back, Pespes was happy, healthy, and clearly comfortable with Chanel. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter. Thank you, Chanel, for taking such great care of Pespes!”

“The best dog sitter we have had! Our boy even may be a little sad to come home, ha! It’s a game changer to find someone who takes as much care as you would of your pet. Khala had daily plays and walks, numerous times a day, we received lots of awesome pics and videos, and Kacper communicated consistently throughout Khala’s whole stay! Thanks, Kacper!”
“I cannot express how grateful I am towards Ben! My boyfriend and I had a trip to Colorado planned, and 45 minutes before we were planning on heading towards the airport, our sitter cancelled. We were so so so stressed out trying to find a sitter so last minute, let alone a high quality sitter! We are so grateful we found Ben. Ben sympathized with us, accommodated us, and gave us such peace of mind on our trip. We got several daily updates of our dog playing in the water and going on walks. We truly could not have been more relieved that our dog was in his care. Ben is our new favorite sitter we’ve ever had!”

Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups!

“We had a great experience with Clint for a weekend of dog sitting for our cutie Joannie. This was a last minute booking and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. Great communication and a really safe, experienced and caring environment! We got loads of pics and videos of our pup having fun, playing with the other dogs and just being looked after well. Highly recommend and we will be using them in the future for sure!”
“Coco loves Ana and her husband! They really treat her like they would their own pup. They are super accommodating to her needs as an anxious dog with separation anxiety, and I know she loves the extra affection and attention that they give her while she stays with them. This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!”

“Joe took great care of my dog, Shamrock! He has a sweet dog named Callie. Callie and Shamrock became fast friends. Joe’s home is lovely and offers a secure yard for the pups to play. I highly recommend boarding your pup with Joe and Callie.”

“Didn’t think to have Chloe back THIS soon, but I reached out for a next-day drop in for a spontaneous short trip and she was able to jump in. Having just cared for our cats the prior weekend, I was happy they could be greeted with a familiar face and person they feel comfortable with. Nala puked some of her food up on the rug after eating and Chloe communicated that, gave a little extra food later on and sent photos of the rug after cleaning. we got a full oversight on everything at home and will be able to monitor when we’re back. Chloe is great, high recommendation!”

About: Ive had cats since I was old enough to remember. I currently have a chonky kitty who is 13, Ive had him since he was a kitten. I love cats and have no problem dealing with little throw ups, dirty litter boxes and the occasional surprise attack!
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a child, and I truly treat every animal like they're part of the family. What sets me apart is my attention to each pet's unique personality and needs-whether that means slow walks for seniors or playtime for energetic pups. Friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on me to help with their animals and I'm always happy to give all the love to these amazing creatures we are lucky to have in our lives. I'm lucky to make my own schedule and work from home most days, so I have ample availability. Week days and weekends. Most mornings and afternoons in addition to some evenings. I have a house with a fenced yard and one 20lb terrier mix to keep your fur baby company. I can also curate to your needs if that means crating your dog. We are very much dogs on the couch and bed type of house but will follow your rules too.
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I've owned and cared for many cats throughout my life and have developed strong bonds with cats of all personalities. Some have been incredibly affectionate and social, while others have been shy, timid, or even aggressive toward most people. I take the time to earn a cat's trust at their own pace and understand that every cat is unique. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. As a bonus for multi-pet households, I also have experience caring for a wide variety of other animals and have no cat allergies.

“Oliver loved hanging out with Danny! You can tell he really loves having dogs around!! He was super accommodating to my schedule and was a great communicator. Oliver was so happy and literally didn’t want to leave his house so it’s safe to say we’d recommend him for sure and are eager to have him watch our dog again.”
“Kelsey is such a sweet person and gave me a lot of peace of mind when leaving my dog Cedric with her. She sent pictures and updates as well as built a rapport with me which gave me comfort as I’m an anxious dog mom usually! Cedric loves going to play with Kelsey and her sweet pup Kai. I always know he’s in good hands.”
“Donovan was great with my fur baby. Very friendly and chill. He gave updates throughout the day which made me feel at ease with it being the first time using him.”
“Best experienece ever. Dillin hosted us at the peak of holiday season. He was quick to respond and his location which is so close to sea world and Zoo made it ideal. He has a decent sized yard and took great care of our 90lbs emglish lab and 6 month old hyper husky. He would keep sending us pics and updates on the dogs and we were so lucky to have found dillon. Yes his prices were higher than the others but totally worth it. You pay for what you get. Highly recommend. Hope you have a similar experience like ours.”
“Oliver loved his time with Taylor and their dog Benny! I picked up a very happy and tired dog at the end of the day. Taylor was also very accommodating to my schedule and was a great communicator. You could tell she really has a soft spot for dogs and wants to do whatever she can to make them comfortable and happy! We can’t wait to use her again!”

“Courtney is my number one choice for a dog sitter. She made sure my dog was cool in this summer heat. My dog came back a happy tired every day. Ali was happy to see her at every drop off. Courtney was able to take us in last minute and was communicating throughout my dog’s stay. Highly recommend Courtney for pups that thrive off one on one time, fun games and walks.”
About: Hi there! I’m Syd a lifelong animal lover based right here in Ocean Beach. Because I work from home full-time, your baby will never be left alone and will get all the attention, potty breaks, and playtime they need!I live just steps from Dog Beach, making it the perfect spot for supervised, high-energy exercise if they are social! Whether your dog prefers a gentle stroll along the boardwalk, a quick swim, or just curling up in a cozy spot inside, I will tailor every visit to their exact routine and temperament. I am experienced with administering medication, senior dog care, and high-energy breeds. I treat every fur baby like my own family. I can't wait to meet your best friend! I currently work completely from home and have a reliable car. Visiting friends will join our little family and have a fun beach vacation right on Dog Beach! I have a fenced small side yard for sun basking, but the fur babies are taken on 4/5 walks a day due to being right on the beach i can’t help myself! If they are social we have the whole beach to run and if not all of ocean beach or a cozy animal loving home to sleep. There is access to water 24/7, dog beds in every room, and they get to walk as much as they’d like!
About: I’ve had and taken care of a dog all my life and trained my current dog from 3 months old. I genuinely try to connect with any dog I meet and love them as my own. Most importantly, I teach/train/direct dogs by validating them with praise and love I’m currently at home most of the day and can have variable and spontaneous availability. With that, I can be available quickly and at short notice I am interactive and attentive - I try to figure out their needs and then meet them. I pet them, play with them, and show them attention. I train or teach them by validating them with goodness and love
About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’ve had dogs all my life and my mutt, Toby, is the prince of the house! We’d love to cuddle with your fur baby and take them for long walks on (or near) the beach while you are on your vacation! I’ve volunteered and worked a vet clinics over the years, but am currently going back to school to get my RN degree. I’d love to connect with some locals who love their pets and need a little additional support or care while my schedule is more flexible! Most days I am up from 6:30/7am-10pm. Monday-Wednesday I am at home all day, but I do work part time at a local coffee shop Thursday through Sunday (OB Beans). My shifts are generally 4-5 hours, so getting getting your pup active before and after my shifts are generally not a problem! I have a fenced in yard and a medium sized neutered boxer mix who will share the space. If needed, he is happy to hang out in solitude in the bedroom if your pup is timid with friends! I live a block from the beach and close to sunset cliffs, so a walk or likely even two are not uncommon- we can cater to your pace!
“Jessica took such great care of Remi! She had an amazing day with Jessica’s family and kids and it was clear she was so loved and well cared for. Communication was excellent throughout and I felt completely at ease knowing Remi was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Jessica again and highly recommend her 🐾🤍”
“Very grateful Gwyneth was available on a super short notice! She’s friendly and easy to communicate with. I would book her again without hesitation. Thanks again for spending the day with Daisy!”
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 grew up with standard poodles and other animals, so animal care as always been a big part of my life. I've worked as a vet assistant and kennel tech where I assisted with exams and took care of boarded animals at the clinic. Some were boarded for a few days or while the recovered from surgery. I handled things like giving medication, baths, feeding and walks as well as cleaning the kennel facility. I've extended that same standard of thorough and compassionate care to all aspects of dog care, ensuring their care and well-being is the top priority! I have a flexible schedule and I can walk your dog several times a day as needed and they can play in the backyard, lounge on a covered porch or stay indoors. I also can take them to the small beach at the end of my street or the famous Dog Beach for exercise and a swim if you like. I live in a house on a quiet street, in a pet friendly neighborhood along Sunset Cliffs, Ocean Beach. I have a large backyard and side yard that locks and a shady covered porch. Your dog is more than welcome to stay inside the house the entirety of their stay as well. i like to watch behaved and non aggressive dogs.

“New to San Diego and without local contacts, I reached out to Dillon based on his reviews and bio. He has lived up to every aspect of professionalism- he’s prompt, responsive to my dog’s needs, takes cute pictures, and makes every walk an adventure for my dog. Dillon takes his duties seriously and is only a click away for a walk, with all his efforts demonstrating that he is dedicated to making this a successful career. He’s gone the extra mile to fill the water bowl after a long walk, bring a package in from the doorstep, and spend some chill time with my dog on the patio. I will continue booking him because his passion for pets is obvious. Thanks, Dillon!”

“I cannot express how grateful I am towards Ben! My boyfriend and I had a trip to Colorado planned, and 45 minutes before we were planning on heading towards the airport, our sitter cancelled. We were so so so stressed out trying to find a sitter so last minute, let alone a high quality sitter! We are so grateful we found Ben. Ben sympathized with us, accommodated us, and gave us such peace of mind on our trip. We got several daily updates of our dog playing in the water and going on walks. We truly could not have been more relieved that our dog was in his care. Ben is our new favorite sitter we’ve ever had!”
About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!
“We had a great experience with Clint for a weekend of dog sitting for our cutie Joannie. This was a last minute booking and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. Great communication and a really safe, experienced and caring environment! We got loads of pics and videos of our pup having fun, playing with the other dogs and just being looked after well. Highly recommend and we will be using them in the future for sure!”
“Michelle provided an amazing stay for our pup while we were out for a week. She was quick to respond, extremely flexible and provided great updates. If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend using Michelle’s services.”
“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.”
“Caterina was a great sitter and provided amazing updates on our dog Truffle while we were away. I had no doubt that she was in good hands and had the best weekend! I couldn’t recommend this sitter more.”
“Teresa was so great with Ricky! I could tell he was right at home with her. She sent me pictures and updates and was it such a pleasure to have her watch Ricky. I’d highly recommend her!”
About: Hi there! I am Jordan. I currently live in Pacific Beach. I have about 15 years of experience with dog sitting and dog walking, and up until a few years ago I didn’t know a life without a dog in the house! I tend to be a go to dog sitter for my friends in the area and have experience as a foster as well. I don’t have much experience with senior dogs but am more than happy to help out if that is what you are looking for! It would be great if we could do a meet and greet prior to booking. This way we can make sure I am the right fit for your dog and I have all questions answered before their time with me. I work fully remote from my home in Pacific Beach. My schedule is flexible so I am open to working with you on a schedule that is best for your dog. My top priority when watching dogs is their safety. I will not leave the dogs unattended while playing (alone or with others). If there is not a fenced in yard, the dogs will only go outside on a leash. Dogs will be fed separately if they are not familiar with each other (exception being if there are 2 dogs in the family and they regularly eat together). You can also always count on your dog being safe with daily updates and pictures while they are in my care.
“Anna is an awesome sitter, she took care of our dog for 12 days and when we picked him up he was a happy dog. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away and kept us informed of how he was doing, this gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the service and will definitely use her in future. Thank you Anna and your family for all the love and care you gave our dog 🙏🙏🙏🙏”
“Joe took great care of my dog, Shamrock! He has a sweet dog named Callie. Callie and Shamrock became fast friends. Joe’s home is lovely and offers a secure yard for the pups to play. I highly recommend boarding your pup with Joe and Callie.”
“Debbie is a fantastic dog sitter! We booked her very last minute and she was extremely easy to work with. Very communicative and her dog, maverick, is a sweetheart too. Will happily book again.”
