“Kenia and Andrew are amazing fur babysitters! We dropped Waffles off for a 2-night overnight stay at their home and he did so well at their house. We started off with a meet & greet the weekend prior to be sure it'd be a good fit for both them and Waffles and the moment he met Andrew and Kenia, he was already super comfortable being around them - put it this way, Waffles still barks at my own brother whenever he sees him, lol! They were so attentive with him and put our minds at ease knowing he was in good hands. We'd recommend Kenia and Andrew to anyone looking at booking an overnight at their home. We look forward to scheduling him to hang out with them the next time we have something planned that will take us out of town. Thank you!”
“Lori is my favorite sitter! She is thoughtful, trustworthy, and overall takes great care of my dogs. She was also communicative about my dogs behavior while they were with her, and she was very patient with one of my dogs misbehaving a little. I can rest easy whenever my dogs are with her!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely the Best Sitter for My Senior Dog I couldn’t have found anyone better to care for my senior dog, Camilo. From the very first moment, she made him feel safe and earned his trust instantly. She went above and beyond my expectations in every possible way, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly kind. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated with messages, photos, and details that gave me complete peace of mind. Most importantly, she really made the effort to make Camilo feel at home, comfortable, and loved. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and treats your pet like family, look no further. I’m truly grateful for her care and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Stacy is amazing. She took such good care of Migo and treated him as if he were her own while I was away. She is kind, professional, and a great communicator. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Kristen always takes great care of our Charlie. I love that she has her doggo there to play with him, and she is always very flexible if plans change. Thanks Kristen!”
“Diego was Absolutely amazing! He watched my dog for two days and did such a great job. He was responsible, attentive, and took wonderful care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. For being so young, I was incredibly impressed with how dependable and caring he was. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got home. I would absolutely trust him to watch my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Dominique really saved my week by agreeing to a last minute booking when I unexpectedly had to rearrange my travel plans and find a place to board my dog the same day. She is friendly and great with dogs. I was worried about how my dog would get along with hers, but Dominique is an amazing pack leader and managed everything without incident. I appreciated the daily photos and updates with details of how my dog spent her day, how she was eating, and sleeping. I would definitely recommend Dominique as a dog sitter, and if I ever need a sitter in the future I will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you Dominique!”

She goes above & beyond to care for our animals & we will continue to book with her for future vacations.”

Thank you Tyler for taking care of our cuddly cuties, we appreciate you!”
“My first time hiring a rover for my kitty and Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure my cat Dixie was comfortable and safe.

“This was the first time I had to find a sitter for my babies. It has been difficult especially since my sons are in law enforcement they were very skeptical about having me bring in someone I did not know into my home. I looked through many profiles and found Sylvia. I am extremely surprised on how well Dodger and Nala have been around Sylvia ESPECIALLY DODGER LOL They both have been very comfortable around her and that makes me feel better. Thank you Sylvia”

“Citlalic was an excellant sitter for my cat Bella. She followed my instructions perfectly and I came back to a happy, healthy furbaby. It is rare for sitters to see Bella let alone pet her but Citlalic was able to do both and sent me photos to prove it. I was shocked. Overall Citlalic was great and we would hire her for drop-in visits again and again.”
About: Hi there! Here’s a few fun facts about me: - I’m a strong proponent of litter cleanliness and always go above and beyond with this task - I believe it is courteous to let my cats sniff whatever I’m holding - I speak to cats like they’re people and try to learn their language I hope to share the love with all of the fur babies. I have experience with taking care of 5 cats at a time and have administered medications to one (pill by mouth twice daily).
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I understand feline behavior and know how to create a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. Whether your cat is playful, shy, senior, or requires extra patience and attention, I provide loving, gentle, and reliable care. I treat every cat like family and always make sure they feel comfortable, clean, fed, loved, and well cared for while you are away.
About: I've spent my whole life around animals — 30+ years — but over the last decade, cats have completely won me over. Don't tell my dogs, but I secretly love cats most of all. There's something about earning a cat's trust that's just deeply satisfying. Right now my home includes two cats of my own, so I know the rhythm of cat care inside and out: the feeding routines, the litter box standards, the medication schedules, and most importantly, reading the difference between "leave me alone" and "okay, fine, you may pet me now." I respect that cats run on their own terms, and I never force interaction — I let your cat set the pace, which is exactly why they tend to warm up to me surprisingly quickly. With 30+ years of hands-on animal experience, very little fazes me. I'm calm, attentive, and genuinely happy spending time with your cat, whether that's an interactive play session, a quiet check-in, or just sitting nearby so they don't feel alone. What you can count on: someone reliable who shows up, follows your routine exactly, keeps your home and your cat just as you left them, and sends you updates (and photos!) so you can relax while you're away. Your cat will be in genuinely loving, capable hands. 🐾
About: I have always loved and adored dogs and cats all my life. Although I must admit, I am more of a dog lover then anything else, I can never resist cats neither, especially orange tabby cats like the one I had growing up..Hello, My name is Jonathan, or you can just call me Jon, Jonny, or just Jonathan. I have had experience with pet care and loving said pets ever since I was a little boy. I am trained in Animal CPR, bottle feeding, ECT. When you're best friend is with me, I leave NO stones unturned. Dogs and cats will be loved, cared for, and will receive my undivided attention while I am taking care of him/her. Tuesday's and Thursdays I will not be available due to me getting my BS in Animal care and behavior. But other than that, I am available for your furry friend At this time, I can not have your furry friend stay with me OVER NIGHT at my place, however, day sitting will be a good experience, for I have a large back yard that has gates on both sides, plenty of grass to run around in, and a large bedroom with a AC for when it's too hot to run around outdoors

“Kenia was awesome! I needed dog sitting for a few hours while out of town. She communicated quickly, which I appreciate. When we showed up, she greeted my dog so warmly that I knew he would be in good hands. We would definitely go back to her if in the area.”
About: I've been caring for my own animals as soon as I was big and responsible enough too. I'd say 15-20+yrs. I love meeting new furry friends cause they always remind me about my good soul or spirit. It makes me happy. Cats and dogs gravitate twords all the time. I'd say I do well with teaching how to walk on a leash. I currently take care of my dog and I have 4hens and 1rooster. So it fits right in very well. I'm not working as we speak but I'm looking. I have a rather large front and back yard that raps all the way around the house. I have a small dog her name is Mary Jane. I have two dog kennels if u perfered to keep your dog in a crate.
About: I've been surrounded by animals for 30+ years. My experience runs deep and hands-on. I spent a year working on a farm. Fun fact: I've successfully delivered three litters of puppies — every single one survived and thrived. At home I have two cats and two large senior dogs, all fixed, up to date on their meds, and flea-free. Caring for senior pups every day means I know firsthand how to handle slower walks, medication schedules, achy joints, and the extra patience and gentleness our older companions deserve. What you can count on from me: reliability, genuine love for your animal, and someone who treats your pet like the soul they are. I'll follow your routines to the letter, keep you updated, and make sure your furry family member feels safe and happy while you're away. So whether your pet is a bouncy puppy, a dignified senior, or somewhere in between, I'm calm, confident, and capable in just about any situation. I'd be honored to care for yours. 🐾 Pet care isn't an afterthought for me — it's woven into my daily rhythm. I already care for my own animals every morning and evening, so feeding times, litter scooping, medication schedules, and check-ins are simply part of how my days are built. Adding your pet to that routine feels natural, not like an extra errand. I keep a flexible schedule that lets me be reliably present throughout the day, so I can accommodate everything from quick drop-in visits to longer sessions and consistent walking times. I'm happy to match whatever cadence your pet is used to, whether that's a strict feeding window, mid-day company, or a steady morning-and-evening routine. Most importantly, I show up when I say I will. You'll always know your pet is being cared for on schedule, every time. In my own home, your pet joins a calm, animal-friendly environment with my two cats and two gentle senior dogs — all fixed, vaccinated, on their meds, and flea-free. I keep food, medications, and anything hazardous safely out of reach, maintain clean litter and feeding areas, and can give a nervous or new pet their own quiet space to settle in. If separation is ever needed, I'm comfortable crating or sectioning off rooms so every animal stays safe and stress-free. In your home, I treat your space with the same care I'd want for my own. I follow your instructions exactly — entry, alarm codes, feeding, litter, medication, and lock-up — and I keep doors and gates secured so there's no risk of a pet slipping out. I stay alert to your pet's behavior and comfort, and I'll always reach out right away if anything seems off. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is simple: a safe, clean, loving environment where your pet feels secure and you feel completely at ease. 🐾

About: I have had pets since I was born. I raised small breed dogs (family dogs) when I was younger and went in to raise 2 large breed dogs at my current age. I have trained my dogs since they were puppies and have often received compliments on their behavior. They enjoy time outside, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats. All of which I’d offer to any dog in my care. I have a spacious home with plenty of room to run around. I am skilled in giving medication to all sizes and ages. My Aussie is not keen on meds so I’ve had to learn ways to get around that. I love all animals and someday hope to have a farm once my husband retires from the Navy. I do not work. My husband is the worker. I’m the homemaker. So I have plenty of time to do drop ins, check ins, etc and will not leave your dog for long periods of time. I have my own car, so I’m able to make it from point A to B without issue. I also have a routine that my own dogs follow, so I’m up everyday by 8am. I have 2 crates already located in my home. I hsve 2 dogs of my own. A female pitbull (Erza) and a male Aussie (Killua). I have a garage that I allow them to run around in for exercise (I’m working on making it into a doggy play room for my dogs, but it’s large so it’d fit up to 8 dogs). I have have 3 Furbo cameras in my home, so on the off chance I have to not be home I am able to view them on camera. I can also send recordings as needed.
“I was worried about leaving our 6 month old puppy with someone since he’s so young but Shania got rid of all of our concerns right away! She was absolutely amazing with him and our puppy didn’t want to leave her. She gave us updates throughout the day and took great care of our pup. We will definitely go to Shania again whenever we need a sitter.”
About: Life long dog owner. Over forty years of experience with large active breeds. From rescue to training giving fur babies an active fun day. I currently have three well behaved German Shepherds that go on long daily walks on a leash or running free at dog beaches and hikes out in the open fields in Otay lakes. I have a large kennel and a back yard with plenty of room for a comfortable stay. I’m currently retired and have plenty of time to have fun with my dogs getting in different adventures daily. We enjoy long hikes to lakes or ponds and frequently go swimming at OB dog beach and fiesta island. Now that I’m retired I would like to dedicate myself to dog training. I have a fenced yard half the yard is a kennel but the kennel stays open for full yard to roam. My pups are usually following me around the house all day so I try to keep them active with training and hikes or long walks. For smaller indoor dogs I will provide a comfortable environment indoors with their own separate kennel to sleep in at night making sure they are pampered and spoiled. My dogs are very gentle and friendly and socialized around different size dogs their whole lives. They also have their own area that they like and stay in that can be secured for added safety.

About: I have had my own dogs as a kid and have been the go-to friend in my network for pet care while working remotely. These days I am in between jobs so I have plenty of time during the day to take your pet for walks or to the park. I recently drove my friend's sweet dog from San Diego to Philadelphia and we had quite an adventure stopping at many dog-friendly landmarks along the way! It was a blast! I typically cover pet sitting for pet parents who prefer that I stay in their homes while they are away, but I also have availability for daily or weekly drop-ins, walks, park or beach time, and other excursions. I have some experience driving dogs and cats across the country as well as extensive experience traveling to different states to care for pets for weeks or months at a time. While I live in San Diego, I've traveled to New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Colorado to care for several sweet dogs and cats. I seek to understand what you and your pet needs and do my best to provide a continuity of care and comfort while you are away. Once I know what your pet needs and is accustomed to, I ensure their routines are adhered to as closely as possible until you can return.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, experience, and genuine love for animals—paired with a calm, patient approach that pets respond to. I don’t just watch pets; I build trust with them. Whether it's helping a nervous pup feel safe, administering medications to a senior dog, or maintaining consistent routines for multi-pet households, I treat each animal as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening check-ins, I prioritize consistency and reliability for every pet I care for. I build my schedule around the needs of each animal, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or at a client’s, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that mirrors their routine and reduces stress. In My Home: I provide a calm, pet-friendly space where animals can feel at ease. I follow their feeding, walking, and sleeping routines closely, offer supervised playtime, and ensure they’re never left alone for long periods. I also separate pets when needed for safety and comfort, and I keep a clean, secure environment with pet-proofed areas.

I stick to their established schedule, including meals, walks, medication, and playtime. I also send regular updates, photos, and notes so pet parents feel connected and confident while they’re away. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, communication, and individualized care so each pet feels loved and well cared for.

About: My wife and I have had dogs our whole lives. We recently lost both our beautiful pups to old age and still have so much love to give so we decided to make ourselves available to care for your beloved doggies while you're out of town. We both work from home and have a fenced yard for your pup to play and sunbathe in! We can’t wait to meet your furry ray of sunshine! We both work from home and are there all day. Sometimes one of us will go to the gym for an hour or run an errand but usually the other is still at home so rest assured that your pup will have company for the majority of the day. We live in a house with a fenced back yard with ample frolicking and sunbathing space and a quiet neighborhood great for walks and exploring.
About: I've been caring for fur babies since I was 10 — first informally for friends and family, and over the years my friends have come to rely on me every time they travel, trusting me with the pets they love most. That's the same care I bring to every dog I sit for: walking, boarding, sitting, and drop-in visits, all handled with genuine love and attentiveness. I'm comfortable with dogs of all temperaments and energy levels, and I treat every pup like they're my own. Your dog won't just be looked after, they'll be adored. I was laid off last year, and since then I've been dog sitting in my neighborhood in NYC. Now that I've relocated to San Diego, I'm looking to bring my services here. I'm home all day, every day, so I have plenty of time and attention to give — especially for dogs who need extra activity and frequent walks. My apartment complex also has a gated dog park, which is a great space for exercise and playtime. Pet care isn't squeezed into my week, it's a core part of it. Every dog in my care is treated like family. I'm home all day, so pets get consistent attention rather than being left alone for long stretches. They'll have plenty of walks, playtime, and one-on-one time throughout the day. I pay close attention to each dog's individual needs and routine, whether that's feeding schedules, medication, or just knowing when they need extra calm or extra activity. My goal is always for pets to feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved while their owners are away.

About: My husband and I have taken care of dogs since we were about 10 years old. Be it if they are wild and free or couch surfers, your pet will always be loved like if they are family. I am blessed enough to work from home along with my husband so your pets will always have someone to look after them. Belly rubs demands will always be met as well as any needs they might have. We have a fenced in front yard and backyard to provide freedom when the jitters are jittering or nature is calling. With enough room to play fetch if that is their cup of tea. We also have experience with senior dogs and being on a routine if medications are needed. If your dog needs the safety of a crate because they can be anxious we also have one and can easily provide and accommodate any needs within reason.
“Matheo is very prompt, reliable and trustworthy. He always updated me when I’m out of town which is always comforting. My dog likes him. Overall, I highly recommend Matheo. His service is excellent. I will definitely get him again next time…”
“Elizabeth was a rock star with my dog. She jumped in on short notice and was kind, responsible, and punctual. She took and sent photos through the app each time showing the walk and feeding after. She clearly had experience handling dogs coming in and I will gladly rely on her again in the future.”
About: I've used too own two pitbulls when I was younger and from the moment we got them my family taught how important it was to make sure they have all the love and care that was needed. As I hot older I discovered It was part of my nature to want to take care of something so I spent a lot of time dog sitting for family friends I've taken care of chihuahuas ,golden retrievers and terriers . Normally I try to make time at any moment of the day as long as I have the opportunities to take care of someone's pet I understand that a lot of people want to but can't make the time for their babies because of their busy work schedule. I've never had to deal with an emergency while pet sitting but for the basics I mostly make sure your bestfriend has regular acces to food and water and make sure to take them on their regular walks at owners request that can vary from once to twice a day normally more than that depending on how often you bestfriend want to use the restroom.

About: Hi there! My name is Audrey Wall. I’m excited to use my passion and experience with animals for your pets. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I’ve had the best experience of sitting a variety of dogs back in 2021. I had to pause my sitter duties because of my active duty status, but now that I’m retiring, I’d love the opportunity to watch your pets. While my services are limited to daily walking and drop-in visits, the love and care I’ll provide are limitless! I understand what it can feel like to be worried about your pet being home alone while you’re away, so please allow me to put your mind at ease! My schedule is flexible, so I will always try to move my daily tasks to fit your needs! All I ask is for clear and frequent communication. I live in a single-family residence with a large grass backyard. I have a 90 lb, 8 year old rescue who is not friendly with other animals, so unfortunately, I cannot do in-sitter home boarding.
About: I grew up in a family that always had multiple dogs, and with a veterinarian dad, I learned early how to care for pets with patience, respect, and attention to their needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes from my own, plus pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. It’s a priority for me to let every dog take their time, feel comfortable, and build trust at their own pace. I’m gentle, reliable, and treat every dog like family and ’ll care for your dog with the same attention I give my own. I currently work a part-time job in the mornings, so I’m available for pet care most afternoons and full days on certain weekdays. • Thursday - Sunday : available after 1pm • Monday - Wednesday : fully available all day I’m flexible with walk times, check-ins, and longer visits, and I’m happy to discuss a schedule that fits your dog’s routine!! I know how important trust is, especially with anxious dogs, so I always give pets space and let them warm up at their own pace. I follow routines closely whether that’s with meds, feeding, walks and safety is always my top priority in and outside the home.
“I reached out to Tyler when I was 35 weeks pregnant and looking for help with my two large dogs. He was willing to meet with me, even after explaining both of my dogs “quirks”. Since I am currently unable to walk my dogs as much as I’d like, my goal was to find someone who would help care for my dogs as if they were their own. Tyler has exceeded my expectations. As of now, I can’t say when I’ll be going into labor and Tyler understands that. He has assured me that when the time does come he will be there to take care of my fur family. We are so lucky to have found him. I recommend Tyler, for any of the services that he provides, to all my friends at the dog park and within our community.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, experience, and genuine love for animals—paired with a calm, patient approach that pets respond to. I don’t just watch pets; I build trust with them. Whether it's helping a nervous pup feel safe, administering medications to a senior dog, or maintaining consistent routines for multi-pet households, I treat each animal as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening check-ins, I prioritize consistency and reliability for every pet I care for. I build my schedule around the needs of each animal, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or at a client’s, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that mirrors their routine and reduces stress. In My Home: I provide a calm, pet-friendly space where animals can feel at ease. I follow their feeding, walking, and sleeping routines closely, offer supervised playtime, and ensure they’re never left alone for long periods. I also separate pets when needed for safety and comfort, and I keep a clean, secure environment with pet-proofed areas. In the Client’s Home: I treat the space with respect and care while maintaining the pet’s familiar environment. I stick to their established schedule, including meals, walks, medication, and playtime. I also send regular updates, photos, and notes so pet parents feel connected and confident while they’re away. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, communication, and individualized care so each pet feels loved and well cared for.
About: Life long dog owner. Over forty years of experience with large active breeds. From rescue to training giving fur babies an active fun day. I currently have three well behaved German Shepherds that go on long daily walks on a leash or running free at dog beaches and hikes out in the open fields in Otay lakes. I have a large kennel and a back yard with plenty of room for a comfortable stay. I’m currently retired and have plenty of time to have fun with my dogs getting in different adventures daily. We enjoy long hikes to lakes or ponds and frequently go swimming at OB dog beach and fiesta island. Now that I’m retired I would like to dedicate myself to dog training. I have a fenced yard half the yard is a kennel but the kennel stays open for full yard to roam. My pups are usually following me around the house all day so I try to keep them active with training and hikes or long walks. For smaller indoor dogs I will provide a comfortable environment indoors with their own separate kennel to sleep in at night making sure they are pampered and spoiled. My dogs are very gentle and friendly and socialized around different size dogs their whole lives. They also have their own area that they like and stay in that can be secured for added safety.

I'm currently a college art student and also working for parks and rec so I know most of the local parks and best dogs parks around the city! I will make sure they have fun while staying safe, make sure they get they steps in and of course a treat of their favorite snacks!
About: As a Navy veteran and former corpsman, my entire job was focused on taking care of people. I bring that same level of care, reliability, and attention to detail to looking after your pups. I’m also a proud dog dad to three rescues of my own—including one who needs special medical attention every single day. Because of that, I’m completely comfortable with unique routines, medications, and giving them extra tender loving care. I'm currently a student, my schedule is super flexible. Whether you need daily walks, quick drop-in visits, or overnight boarding, I’m here to help and can easily adjust to whatever routine works best for you and your dog. I always want to make your dog or cat feel safe and at home while you’re away. To accomplish this I make your dog part of my family for however long we are together. I allow the dogs space and time to get use to the environment which helps build trust. I’m with your pet the whole day if necessary.
About: Hello there! I understand you may need someone to look over your fur-baby?! Well, here’s why I’d be a perfect fit! I have been taking care/looking over dogs for 10+ years! I have had two cocker spaniels, a golden retriever/chowchow mix, a cattle dog/Rottweiler mix, as well as a Belgium Malinois. I have also dog-sat for numerous friends and family throughout the years. Anything and everything from letting them go out for a potty break, getting them some grubs, getting some play time, going for a stroll, or simply having human interaction while their favorite human is out. I will always make sure they have the best possible care as if they were my fur-baby. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to send me a message! Hope to meet your pup soon! I am currently working part time but am extremely flexible with my schedule. If things need to be moved around feel free to send me a detailed message. I’m not able to promise that things can always be switched around, but I will try my best to accommodate. I will always make sure your pet is being watched whether inside or out so you can rest assured they will be in the safest hands possible.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. From cats to dogs and even a goat, I’ve experienced it all. My family and I regularly house puppies and kittens from Tijuana, Mexico in our home until we are able to find them their forever home here in the states, so it is safe to say that I am well equipped for the needs of your furry friend(s). As someone who drives to the beach for a sunset walk on a daily basis I’d love to be able to bring your friend(s) along for the ride ☺️ I currently am working Monday - Wednesday full time but am open every other day of the week as I am still in school. That being said, I would be completely open to care for your pet(s) and give them the same attention they’d receive at home Thursday- Sunday! I have ample space for your pet(s) with a large backyard that includes grass and a large fence to ensure that they are safe. I’ve always made it a habit to regularly check on pets’ food / water and in a cats case, their litter box. If your cat needs a relaxing environment with endless amounts of pets I can do that. If your dog / puppy needs a long walk or even a run, I can do that. I understand that leaving your pets with a stranger can be nerve racking but rest assured that they’re in good hands 🙌
About: Hi! My name is Sophia and I'd love to take care of your fur babies! I currently work at an emergency pet hospital which makes me a good option for knowing if your baby is not feeling too good or is taking medication. I've also volunteered at the animal shelter for a few years cleaning kennels and walking dogs. I also volunteered at the medical room and helped pre and post surgerys. In addition, I also graduated in Animal Science from UC Davis. I have always loved animals and would love to take care of yours. I am currently on summer break from college so I am available anytime to take care of your pets! I can work mornings or nights. If your fur baby was in my home, I have one dog and he's super sweet and does well with other dogs. I take him on a walk at least once a day and would do the same for yours. I can adjust to your preferences if you'd prefer special diet for your pets such as bland chicken and rice, if they prefer to be inside or outside and play with them as frequent as possible.
About: I've been caring for my own animals as soon as I was big and responsible enough too. I'd say 15-20+yrs. I love meeting new furry friends cause they always remind me about my good soul or spirit. It makes me happy. Cats and dogs gravitate twords all the time. I'd say I do well with teaching how to walk on a leash. I currently take care of my dog and I have 4hens and 1rooster. So it fits right in very well. I'm not working as we speak but I'm looking. I have a rather large front and back yard that raps all the way around the house. I have a small dog her name is Mary Jane. I have two dog kennels if u perfered to keep your dog in a crate.
“Megan is wonderful! Takes my dog Hera for long walks every time and spends time with her. Megan also takes pictures of my sweet girl and send them to me every time she walks her! Will definitely continue to book with her!!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals for 30+ years. My experience runs deep and hands-on. I spent a year working on a farm. Fun fact: I've successfully delivered three litters of puppies — every single one survived and thrived. At home I have two cats and two large senior dogs, all fixed, up to date on their meds, and flea-free. Caring for senior pups every day means I know firsthand how to handle slower walks, medication schedules, achy joints, and the extra patience and gentleness our older companions deserve. What you can count on from me: reliability, genuine love for your animal, and someone who treats your pet like the soul they are. I'll follow your routines to the letter, keep you updated, and make sure your furry family member feels safe and happy while you're away. So whether your pet is a bouncy puppy, a dignified senior, or somewhere in between, I'm calm, confident, and capable in just about any situation. I'd be honored to care for yours. 🐾 Pet care isn't an afterthought for me — it's woven into my daily rhythm. I already care for my own animals every morning and evening, so feeding times, litter scooping, medication schedules, and check-ins are simply part of how my days are built. Adding your pet to that routine feels natural, not like an extra errand. I keep a flexible schedule that lets me be reliably present throughout the day, so I can accommodate everything from quick drop-in visits to longer sessions and consistent walking times. I'm happy to match whatever cadence your pet is used to, whether that's a strict feeding window, mid-day company, or a steady morning-and-evening routine. Most importantly, I show up when I say I will. You'll always know your pet is being cared for on schedule, every time. In my own home, your pet joins a calm, animal-friendly environment with my two cats and two gentle senior dogs — all fixed, vaccinated, on their meds, and flea-free. I keep food, medications, and anything hazardous safely out of reach, maintain clean litter and feeding areas, and can give a nervous or new pet their own quiet space to settle in. If separation is ever needed, I'm comfortable crating or sectioning off rooms so every animal stays safe and stress-free. In your home, I treat your space with the same care I'd want for my own. I follow your instructions exactly — entry, alarm codes, feeding, litter, medication, and lock-up — and I keep doors and gates secured so there's no risk of a pet slipping out. I stay alert to your pet's behavior and comfort, and I'll always reach out right away if anything seems off. Whether at my place or yours, my goal is simple: a safe, clean, loving environment where your pet feels secure and you feel completely at ease. 🐾

“Kenia and Andrew are amazing fur babysitters! We dropped Waffles off for a 2-night overnight stay at their home and he did so well at their house. We started off with a meet & greet the weekend prior to be sure it'd be a good fit for both them and Waffles and the moment he met Andrew and Kenia, he was already super comfortable being around them - put it this way, Waffles still barks at my own brother whenever he sees him, lol! They were so attentive with him and put our minds at ease knowing he was in good hands. We'd recommend Kenia and Andrew to anyone looking at booking an overnight at their home. We look forward to scheduling him to hang out with them the next time we have something planned that will take us out of town. Thank you!”

“John & Francesca were AMAZING!!! They kept me updated every day with pictures, stories, etc. and they truly made my pup feel loved while I was away. My dog really, really enjoyed his stay and I will DEFINITELY be asking them to watch him again in the future.”

“Diego was Absolutely amazing! He watched my dog for two days and did such a great job. He was responsible, attentive, and took wonderful care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. For being so young, I was incredibly impressed with how dependable and caring he was. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got home. I would absolutely trust him to watch my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Kimberly was amazing with both Speckles and Zoey and accommodated to all of their needs. She sent updates with pictures throughout their time with her. She showed them love and attention and made them feel like they were home for a couple days. I would use her again and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Dominique really saved my week by agreeing to a last minute booking when I unexpectedly had to rearrange my travel plans and find a place to board my dog the same day. She is friendly and great with dogs. I was worried about how my dog would get along with hers, but Dominique is an amazing pack leader and managed everything without incident. I appreciated the daily photos and updates with details of how my dog spent her day, how she was eating, and sleeping. I would definitely recommend Dominique as a dog sitter, and if I ever need a sitter in the future I will definitely reach out to her again! Thank you Dominique!”

“I highly recommend Jessica! She was amazing from the start. She was quick to respond to my late minute request. I was worried about leaving him alone without his little buddy ( our other dog) but I could tell Jessica made him feel loved and comfortable. I could also tell he enjoyed his stay with her.

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young. Ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed walking my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and many different breeds I am available to walk, board, or visit your dog all days of the week. I prefer to be notified at least a day in advance so I can properly schedule and prepare to care for your dog. I have a large backyard with clear space for the dogs to around and play. There is open space in the living room for dogs to relax, with room for dog beds or anything else they arrive with. This space is gated off from the rest of the house for safety. There’s enough room to separate the dogs from one another if they need space.
“Keshia is truly an amazing pet sitter and such a kind, caring person. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease knowing our dogs were in wonderful hands. She is incredibly accommodating, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail, making sure our pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it was clear that she has a natural way of connecting with animals. She treated them with so much patience, kindness, and affection, and we could tell they felt safe and cared for with her. Her communication was wonderful, and she always went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. We are so grateful to have found Keshia and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. I will definitely be going back to her anytime I need a sitter, walker, drop in visit, or day visit. She is truly a wonderful person, and we feel lucky to have someone like her to help care for our dogs.”
“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”

“We left our much-loved standard poodle, Murray with Melanie for a week that ended yesterday. She took excellent care of Murray and provided a few photos during his stay. We could see in the photos he was healthy and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog in her care. She has a very sweet dog who accepted Murray right into the mix and they got along well. She walked Murray daily and followed my instructions for feed and care. We were very pleased with everything she did. I highly recommend Melanie.”
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
“Raymond is an awesome sitter! He has a wonderful home and a great dog! My dog really warmed up and felt right at home throughout his stay! Totally professional and patient with your pup! Highly recommended!”
