“Nia was very responsive and flexible with my drop off and arrival times. I enjoyed the daily updates. She even had a gift bag when I picked up Duke. I would definitely recommend Nia.”
“Hana was wonderful with our slightly neurotic older poodle mix. When I picked her up after her overnight visit, she really seemed like she had had fun! And Hana's home environment seems like doggy paradise. She provided me pics throughout the day, and her communication was excellent. I would be glad to use Hana's services again.”
“Beasley loves staying with Michelle and her husband. He is always so relaxed when we pick him up. I can tell he is well loved in their care. Michelle follows all of our instructions and sends daily updates. Highly recommend”
“This was our second time trusting Holly with our furbaby! She is always on time, communicates right away, and sends several daily updates so we never have to worry. It puts our minds completely at ease when we are missing our pup. Thank you, Holly, for being an awesome dog sitter!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better care for our Dobermans. Plenty updated and photos, dogs has lots of activities and love from Monica and her husband. Highly recommended! 🥰”
“Michell w was absolutely incredible and made Boogie feel right at home. I received a lot of cool video updates of my little guy and Michelle was juts excellent& super flexible. I will absolutely be booking with Michelle again and you should too!”
“Cassie stepped in at the last minute after another sitter canceled and she did an amazing job with my anxious/reactive pup! She kept me updated with photos and did well with our somewhat tricky medication schedule. I especially loved that she had a large crate in case Winnie needed alone time, but she also gave lots of snuggles on the couch. One of the biggest perks though is that she was able to play fetch in her backyard as a way to give Winnie attention and exercise while avoiding other dog interactions (she has dog-related reactivity issues). Winnie was happy and relaxed when I returned. We’d definitely recommend Cassie to others!”
“4th time! Rachelle is THE BEST! She sends so many pictures, kept our dogs an extra night when our flight was delayed, and even made cute little ink paw prints! We trust Rachelle to always take the best care of our pups.”
“Lisa took incredible care of my pup and I felt completely worry free on my trip knowing he was in good hands. She sent daily updates and I could tell he was happy and well pampered 🥰 I would definitely trust her with Cannoli again!”

“I will definitely be returning when onderful, caring and understanding. Josh was very welcoming of P-Nut and I. Josh helped me with P-Nut's bag and crate - and also allowed me to come by earlier, at 4 am in the morning! Josh showed P-Nut immense compassion and love.”
“We’ve been frequent flyers with Todd and Bill now for over a year. They have always been so welcoming of our little puppers and so loving with them. It’s scary leaving a furry friend behind so finding the right person to care for them like you would yourself is important. I love how happy my pups are when they come back from a pawcation😄they are so happy Zane tired. A tired dog.. is a happy dog.. very glad I found them!”
“Susie and Galen did is awesome job watching our two pups. We were gonna for almost three weeks and we knew the entire time they were well cared for. Highly recommend them to watch your fur babies”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most my life. I've had up to three dogs of my own at a time. Had to say goodbye to two of them last year. I have a one year sweet pup named Lucy that has been great around all dogs big and small. I work full time from home so I am more than happy to have your dog for the day while you're at work, or for the night if you're away. I can stop in to let your dog out throughout the day if needed. I do have 2 cats in the house so would need dogs that are cat friendly or ignore them. Look forward to meeting your pup! I do have a full time job, but I do work from home so I do have a very flexible schedule so I am available to take care of your pet during the week. I am free pretty much all day on Saturdays and Sunday I am very respectful of your home and belongings. I truly do love animals and I can assure you I will treat your pet(s) and spoil them just as I do my own
“Aliciene was fantastic! The dogs enjoyed being with her and her two lovely dogs. When I picked up my dogs they were exhausted from playing so much at her home. If I ever need a dog sitter in SD again I know who to go to :)”
“Sam was excellent. It was our first time using him and he was so great about sending us photos every day and letting us know how Watson was doing. Watson got to free roam and play all day which is what he loves best. We will definitely use Sam again.”

I will definitely be asking Lynn to watch my cats again and would recommend her to anyone.”

“My very first experience with a sitter for my special needs diabetic senior cat and needless to say, I was nervous! We were referred over to Tina by a colleague and we are so thankful to have Tina here while we were visiting family for Thanksgiving. Tina shared photos of Brody's food, clean kitty litter, introduced us to cat and squirrel videos that Brody enjoyed for hours after Tina left so he wasn't lonely, she played with our cat and she did a superb job with administering his insulin shots. Tina is super friendly, very knowledgeable and incredibly responsible, timely and responsive. Each day we were gone, I really looked forward to hearing her feedback and sharing images of them hanging. Tina even took out our trash for us and brought in our mail. I would highly recommend Tina to watch over your beloved pet and I will be recommending her to my friends and family. She truly cares and loves animals and she made me feel confident that my cat was in safe hands. Thank you Tina! You're the best!”

About: I like to stay fit and I love dogs. So I spend a lot of time outside with dogs where they naturally belong. I’ve had a dogs in my family all my life. I’ve enjoyed training puppies and establishing loving ways of communication. I own a gym and I’m constantly telling my clients “want to get your steps in? Get a dog!” I love being outside and pet care keeps me honest. You will always find me out in the Sun with a doggie. We have a fenced bbq area where we hang out during the day and soak up the sun. At least one hour of sprinting up hills or running at a park with me. As long as we have instructions we can reinforce training commands and tons of playtime.

My dog is a special needs dog, and Tina has been very good at following my requests on how my dog’s walk needs to be limited or otherwise. I would definitely recommend her!”

I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet.

I have plenty of experience with having pets of my own and making sure they are safe, happy, and taken care of. I also have plenty of experience walking my own dogs over the years, so I feel confident I can keep your pets safe on our walks. I’m comfortable with puppies, active dogs, and dogs who may need a little extra patience or structure. I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment so dogs feel secure and understood.

She is also great about accommodating my unpredictable schedule, last minute requests and goes out of her way to be available for Sophie. Highly recommend!”

“We’ve never left our dog Chai with anyone other than family and we’re a bit hesitant about leaving her for a few days. When dropping Chai off, Brittany instantly made us feel so comfortable and reassured us that our dog would be just fine. Chai took a liking to Brittany very quickly. Brittany was so good at keeping us updated throughout the day with pictures and a quick update with how Chai was doing and what they had been up too. They went on walks at least twice a day and cuddled (Chai’s favorite). When it was time to pick Chai up we could tell Brittany and Chai had bonded. We are pleased to have met Brittany and highly recommend her to anyone who is in the San Diego area or coming from out of town like us and needing someone who is truly trusting and felt like we were leaving our Chai with family. We will most definitely be looking Brittany up if we are back in the San Diego area in the future.”
