“We boarded our dog Mango with Hana and she took very good care of him! He got a lot of exercise- going on walks, hikes, playing with other dogs. Overall he seems to have had a great time there 😊 She also makes sure to send videos and pictures frequently to keep us updated!”
“Mayank is incredible with my sweet Daisy girl. I have boarded with them more than once, and I always receive regular updates & pictures. Daisy has the time of her life.”
“Our Frenchie stayed with Adriana and Cameron while we were in NYC for the week. She had the best time. We got 1-3 videos a day of her running around and claiming a stake on their couch :) They accommodated her needing to eat raw food and taking up space in their fridge. They were responsive and helpful and very timely. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience.”
“Julia always takes great care of Teddy! He always seems to have a blast playing with her dog and I appreciate her communication and pictures while we are gone.”
“May took excellent care of our dog for the 5 days we were out of town. The communication was great and we enjoyed the daily photo/video updates. Will definitely book again.”

“Stacey & Christopher were incredibly responsive and accommodating, and most importantly took great care of our mini goldendoodle. They sent frequent updates and photos, and our dog was clearly comfortable with them. Highly recommend them to watch over your dog!”
“My dog, Cosmo, is always thrilled when he realizes we’re going to Jason’s house! It’s obvious that Jason and his family are experienced with dogs and truly love them, plus Jason is a great communicator and I can always count on pics and updates on Cosmo’s antics while I’m away. Thanks for another great stay, Jason!”
“My dogs looked so happy in all the pics sent. I would def be rebooking. I also loved the service of pick up and drop off. It definitely was a stress free experience ❤️”

“Sarah and her daughter were wonderful!!!!! They kept us updated with pictures of our baby. She seemed happy and at ease in the pictures. We highly recommend Sarah and will refer people.”
“Marina was amazing and super flexible! Our dog has really bad desperation anxiety and needs attention when a human is around. It helps a lot that she is home all day to play and care for him. It’s also a plus that she’s a certified dog trainer that understands his needs! You can tell she has a special place in her heart for dogs ❤️❤️”

“This was our first time using Jackie's cat sitting services and we will definitely be working with her again! She took notes of all our instructions, followed them to a T, and was very responsible and communicative. Even our shy cat was comfortable enough to come out of hiding and play with her - which says a lot! Thank you Jackie!”
“Daisy took wonderful care of our two cats, Leaf and Nugget, for seven days while we were away. We reached out on fairly short notice, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. She was professional, reliable, and very kind throughout the entire week. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, which gave us great peace of mind while we were traveling. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals and treats them as if they were her own. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would absolutely recommend Daisy to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. We look forward to having her watch Leaf and Nugget again in the future!”
“Jennifer watched our dogs for seven days while we were on a staycation. The thing I love most about her is that she is very communicative and friendly. My animals love her.

“Presley was wonderful! She was very friendly, professional, and responsive throughout the whole process. Our cats really liked her and seemed very comfortable around her. She took great care of them while we were away, which gave us great peace of mind. We really appreciated her care and communication. Highly recommend Presley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!”

I will work around my bookings and make sure that my time is organized to take care of my pet clients :) I live in an apartment and they would be safe as the pets will only be inside unless I take them out for a walk.
“Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)”
“Cristen watched my two cats while I was out of town and was great to work with! Her energy is very gentle and she immediately felt trustworthy and nurturing. One of my cats has some special medication needs and Cristen showed up exactly when she needed her meds and also handled the whole process wonderfully. She gave very comprehensive and sweet updates and it was clear she really cared about providing good care for my girls. She also has a great sense of humour and the updates made me laugh ? will definitely be working with Cristen again”
“Catherine and Nicholas went above and beyond for our two cats. Our five year old cats had never been at a different place and they hate car rides probably because they associate them with going to the vet. Unfortunately, my kitties pooped in their carriers on the way to drop them off :(. I was mortified, but Catherine and Nicholas helped us take care of the mess; Catherine immediately gave the cats a bath/rinse and gave our kitties some treats and comforted to put them at ease. Throughout the stay, Catherine and Nicholas sent us pics and videos and plenty of updates on the cats. I can tell Nicholas and Catherine love animals and know what to do to keep them safe and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I couldn’t be happier with the way they handled everything. My husband calls them the cat whisperers. I would trust them again with my babies. ?”

Thank you Holly for an excellent experience for Anna.”

Would definitely recommend this sitter all anyone in need of pet care.”

It was my first time leaving my dog with someone else for a long period of time (8 ish hours lol ) and knowing that my dog is not the easiest pup I was very worried and stressed about the whole situation.Thankfully I found Gris , she was able to book us last minute, was very easy to communicate with, sent me pictures and answer my messages promptly. My dog loved spending the day at her house and playing with the other pups, he was exhausted from all the playing at the end of the day. I would highly recommend her.”

Occasionally will approve larger dogs if well trained, submissive to other dogs and non barker. Set up a meet and greet IF YOU HAVE RULED OUT FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALREADY. I am also a portrait photographer, and you may see the best photos ever taken of your dog during their stay. I send photos and videos of their activities daily. I will have other dogs here, frequently they make friends. I am here full time and supervise everything, nobody gets bullied. We spend a lot of time in the yard throwing balls encouraging activity. We are up for first potty at 5:30. Open door hours 8 am to 8 pm. I have quiet hours for my neighbors so they don’t complain. If your travel involves early departure, please request booking start for the day before. All first time clients come for a meeting before confirming a stay. Shots must be current. Boarding agreement required. I look forward to meeting you! I'm home full time, and used to waking around 5:30 am to let the dogs out.

Bedtime preparations begin around 9 and they get settled for the night by 10 pm. Evening pickups are limited to 8:30 pm out of consideration to my neighbors.

I have a fenced back yard with double fence to the gate, and my kitchen and family room is separated by gate from the rest of the house. I also have a smaller gated area at the patio door which helps control excited eating during feeding time by separating dogs.

There is a pool in my backyard but few dogs care. . There is a grassy runway around the side and back of the yard to play chase and ball. The fence is reinforced with rabbit fencing to prevent escape. Gates are closed at all times.

In person meet and greet is requested to confirm a booking.

About: Doggies with short snouts welcome here! 🐾 I love all kinds of pups; seniors, short snouts, & snugglers of all breeds 💕 [Bulldog breeds, Pugs, Boston Terriers, King Charles Spaniels, & more!] My entire world was my Frenchie, Layla 'Sweet Potata', until she passed from old age. I deeply understand that your dog isn't just a pet—they are your absolute family, and I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else. Because of Layla, I speak fluent "snort and grunt" and understand the specific nuances that come with flatter-faced breeds. Your baby will receive the exact same vigilance, tenderness, and love that I gave my own girl. 🐾 What Sets My Home Apart: One Family at a Time: I work from home full-time, so your dog will have constant companionship. To keep things calm and focused, I only host one dog (or two from the same household) at a time. They will never have to compete for a lap or love. I'm hyper-aware of the daily maintenance these special pups need. I’m fully equipped to handle tail pocket cleanliness, regular wrinkle wiping, and ear upkeep. You are welcome to bring your own preferred supplies, but I have plenty of resources here to keep them fresh, clean, and happy. Spine & Heat Safety: To prevent IVDD and protect their backs, my home features ramps and stairs for all couches and beds. Inside is kept cool with continuous A/C over smooth hardwood floors, and outside features a large, naturally grassy yard with a tall fence—and no neighbor dogs on either side for a stress-free potty time. Medications & Routines: I am completely comfortable administering oral medications and eye drops, and I closely monitor breathing and temperature limits. I work from home, so your dog will receive full-time attention, supervision, and care. My home has central A/C, a fenced grass backyard for them to enjoy San Diego weather, and tons of toys & beds to cuddle in. Your pup will always be welcome on the couch and my bed. Fun for a flat-faced pup is all about balancing engagement with safety, and my day is built around that rhythm. Your pup will leave happy, safe and well rested.

About: I took care of my neighbors' pets during high school and all of them were satisfied with my care. They always felt comfortable leaving me with their pets while they were on vacation. I am going to be a full time paralegal student in May. I currently have a lot of time on my hands that I would like to spend making money to help pay for it! I look out for body language signs of distress from the pets I take care of and act accordingly. If there are specific things the owner wants me to do, I make those a priority. I always stayed respectful to the owners' home, making sure to leave it the way I found it.
About: Hello and welcome to ADVENTURES WITH BEAN 🌄 My name is Becca and am a San Diego native who has been exploring the world with my dog/best friend, Stella Bean We are very friendly, active, and have lots of love to give. In my home I believe in treating our guests as family, so that means all furry friends and humans are treated with the same love, kindness, and respect as the next 🌈.Our home is small and comfy but we have a large yard for any size dog to play around in. Taking care of animals is my full-time job so your pet is my priority. I am a very active person, I usually like to go on hikes or walks in canyons, beaches or parks. I double-majored in ecology and biology so nature and animals are my passion. I have extensive experience with animals and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I have worked with dogs w special-needs- I cared for a dalmatian who would have seizures and was very hyperactive, as well as many years caring for my blind dog, Tikka. I also have experience administering insulin to pets who have diabetes. From miniature chihuahua to great dane, I’ve worked with almost every breed. My schedule is flexible, so if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT PACKAGE DEALS FOR DAYCARE!!! Pet care is a way of life for me. I care for Stella 24/7 but when we have company, I like to get up around 7am and plan my days around the dogs/animals I have the opportunity to take care of. From the beaches, to the mountains and canyons in between, I enjoy making my lifestyle an active one and enjoy bringing dogs along with me. When things slow down and I enjoy watching the dogs run around the yard while I work on projects around the house. In our home, dogs have the opportunity to venture between the house and the patio or back yard freely (so long as you are okay w that). The backyard is completely fenced in and double-gated. There is also fresh water dispersed around the property, along with plenty of toys and chews to play with. There is also a patio area so our furry friends can get some shade, if needed. When it comes to cats, I am more than happy to accommodate any size cat, I have a loft in my house that cats love to climb up into and laze about. They have toys and scratching posts up there as well for enrichment. I also have a beautiful beam that stretches above my kitchen that they tend to love to lay on and watch people walk around below. Every animal is different with its own unique temperament . What I enjoy doing is creating a comfy, secure, calm, and fun environment for each and every animal I get the opportunity to meet and care for.
About: I’ve had animals all of my life and I love meeting new fuzzy friends! I’ve had experience with all types of animals! I have two cats of my own and take care of them dog my sisters two cats and our family dog! I work for a senior care company but because it’s not super reliable in terms of a set schedule I’m looking to help pet parents whenever I can! I’m very reliable! My regular job is a in-home healthcare for seniors so I’m always in their homes cleaning their houses and stuff like that, as well as as if they have pets taken care of those as well. I care for all of my pet clients just like I with them. I respect the houses that I work in like they are my own!
“I can't say enough good things about my dog walker! She has been an absolute lifesaver. Always showing up with a positive attitude, she’s proactive, reliable, and genuinely caring. My pup is definitely a handful—she’s dog reactive and not the easiest to manage—but that’s never been an issue. She handles her with so much patience, skill, and understanding. I especially appreciate the photo updates and messages after walks—it gives me so much peace of mind during the day. It’s clear she really gets dogs and loves what she does. I’m so grateful for her help and feel lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Lilly has been the best dog walker ever! She takes great care of my pup, and he’s all smiles every time she takes him out. I would HIGHLY recommend Lilly for all of your dog-sitting needs”
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and have loved animals. I got a dog of my own at 7 years old, my first dog when I was seven years old, but I began caring for other dogs five years ago. I've walked and cared for dogs of all ages and I'm excited to meet you and your pet! I'm working this summer, but I'll still have plenty of time to play with your pups! In terms of pet sitting, I am available for both routine visits and overnight stays (in your house). As long as it does not interfere with work, I am relatively flexible with walking times. Weekends are also fairly open for me! I'll treat your dog and home as if they were mine! When putting your dog out, I'll make sure the backyard gates are shut, the doors to your home are always locked, that your dog is getting more than enough walks and exercise, and that they're never thirsty or hungry!
About: I have over 15 years experience in both dog and cat sitting, including some dogs in their golden years. I have four feline friends myself and understand they usually require a little extra love and patience to feel comfortable. I am available for daily walks and up to twice per day for feedings and check ins. I have more extended time for interactive attention on weekends and Mondays. As an in-home sitter, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable in your absence by sticking to the routine they’re familiar with. For walks I would love to know of any particular routes they enjoy to keep them happy and to give you peace of mind about their outdoor adventures. I am open to finding whatever works best for your pet- you’re the expert on their care ☺️

About: I’ve been volunteering with the Humane Society since 2021, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for and working with animals of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I also have a senior dog at home, and previously cared for another senior dog, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that older dogs may require. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent high school graduate and will be starting at UC San Diego in the fall. For the summer, I have full availability and a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and other pet-care needs throughout the week. Once school starts, my availability will become more limited, but I’ll do my best to maintain a consistent schedule and work around your needs. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to learn each animal’s personality, routines, and individual needs, and I always follow their owner’s instructions closely. I’m patient with animals who may be nervous or need extra time to warm up, and I keep a close eye on them during walks and visits. My experience volunteering with the Humane Society has taught me the importance of responsible, attentive animal care, and I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own.
“Harper did so well on her outing! She's not around kids normally and with Cristen's care she was awesome. Harper adores Cristen and listens attentively to her. Dakota is always a great dog to everyone and both loved the hike and Cristen. They always feel safe with her.”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience with animals my entire life, beginning with growing up surrounded by pets and later adopting my own dog at just 11 years old. From a young age, I’ve been pet sitting throughout my neighborhood, caring for animals of different personalities, routines, and needs. Over the years, this experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My lifelong passion for animals once inspired me to pursue veterinary medicine before I discovered my interest in understanding the human mind, but my love for animals has never changed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive, loving, and dependable care you can trust. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care. I do not work, and I only attend college classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for most of the day. Outside of those hours, I am fully available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting. I also have reliable transportation, so traveling to clients’ homes is never an issue. I’m committed to providing dependable, consistent care and making sure pets receive the time and attention they deserve. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is my top priority when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all provided instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and behavior. I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I always make sure pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and plenty of affection. I respect each pet’s boundaries and take the time to build trust at their pace, ensuring they feel relaxed, cared for, and safe at all times.
About: I will take awesome care of your furry friend! I have over 25 years experience owning and caring for animals of all types and sizes. I currently have two awesome rescue pups that love having friends over to walk and play. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with lots of time to hang out and play with your pets! As long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible. Just ask. I will care for and love your pets like they're my own. Whether it's a walk in the park or an overnight stay I will take the best care of your furry friend!
About: I absolutely love animals. I would love the opportunity to play and sit your furry friend while you're away and busy. I am happy to work through a flexible schedule and assist in whatever way is easiest for you. I grew up with dogs and cats in my home my entire life, and look forward to having more animals in my life again. I am more than happy to watch a dog from my own home - can pick the dog up from your home/work/or public place. Or you can drop the dog off and take a peak at my setup. I live in a spacious 1500 SF 3 bedroom loft, with lots of space to play. I would love to watch your animals in the comfort of their own home as well. Some animals have separation anxiety and I realize taking them out of their usual space may not be an option, or easy. Our friends need a little more attention, so play dates and walks are great ways to help keep them active while you are running errands or need to step out. Just like humans, every dog is different. The dogs we had in our home growing up were fosters that we watched until they could be placed permanently, so I've been exposed to a wide variety of sizes, temperaments, and lets face it ATTITUDES! Attention to detail and a deep passion for what I am doing is what helps me mesh so well with all kinds of critters. I have absolutely loved every single animal I’ve meet so far, and can't wait to meet yours too. Hugs and slobbery kisses, Nicole

I’m confident caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors who may need extra patience and structure. What sets me apart is real-world experience and reliability. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week.

At this time, I offer dog walking and drop-in visit services. I focus on providing safe, attentive, and enjoyable care while following each dog’s individual routine, energy level, and specific needs. My goal is to make every visit a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your pet.
About: My name is Annessa and I absolutely love animals! I am certified on other apps as a dog/cat caregiver and have been enjoying it. I have immense experience with senior and disabled dogs/cats. Ideally for a longer sitting, I would like to meet you and your furry baby beforehand. We can go over the routine and where I will be sleeping. Together we can make your baby feel safe and happy! I am a cat mom and everyday is pet care. My cat's routine consists of feeding, grooming, cleaning, and snuggling. Because she's pretty beautiful girl!

“Our Frenchie stayed with Adriana and Cameron while we were in NYC for the week. She had the best time. We got 1-3 videos a day of her running around and claiming a stake on their couch :) They accommodated her needing to eat raw food and taking up space in their fridge. They were responsive and helpful and very timely. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience.”

Thanks for another great stay, Jason!”

“We had such a great experience with Jenny! She was so welcoming, kind, patient, and took amazing care of our puppy, Hinge, while we were on vacation. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip without worrying. Hinge got plenty of exercise, made new friends, and even came home having learned so much. It was clear he had a wonderful time and genuinely loved being there. We also loved receiving updates and pictures of him playing with his friends. It made us so happy to see him having so much fun. We’re incredibly grateful for the love and care she gave Hinge and would absolutely trust her with him again. Highly recommend!”
