“Mabel loved her time at Araceli’s! Araceli was very warm and welcoming to us humans, but to Mabel she was a dog’s dream host. There are toys, stuffies and balls galore. Mabel absolutely felt at home the second we walked in. Mabel was allowed to get on the couch and Araceli didn’t mind when water dripped off her mouth after drinking water. We knew immediately that Mabel would be in great hands and she was. We were happy to receive pictures and even a video of Mabel having fun. We will definitely use Araceli again. I know Mabel will be excited.”
“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Verle and Kaitlin were great with my pup! They sent so many cute pics and daily updates and helped put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will rebook the next time we’re in need. Great communication and wonderful sitters!”
“Isabella was very nice and patient with my animals. Always letting me know how they were doing and what they were up too. She took very good care of both my dog and my cat and loved them like they were her own.”
“Anna was amazing watching my dog Willow for the first time. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her after just moving to San Diego, but Anna immediately put me at ease. She was so kind and treated Willow like her own, letting her relax and feel comfortable in her home. She kept me updated and sent great pictures that made me really happy. I truly appreciated her communication and care—would absolutely recommend her! She’s wonderful and you can see how much she loves and cares about dogs! Willow had a great time!”
“Thank you Robin for the amazing care you gave our fur baby for the week!! 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ vacation club for him!! 🐶 I think he found his vacation home 🏡😍😍”
“Kenneth obviously loves Rylee and the feeling is mutual. She gets long walks and lots of cuddles. Kenneth sends regular updates and lots of pictures. I work five 48 hour shifts per month and I’m hope to book Kenneth as many of those days as he is free:)”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.”
“Madelyn is so good that my dog was barely excited to see me when picking him up after being gone for 5 nights. They bonded quickly and she was extremely attentive to his fragility post neuter surgery. Couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. Will be booking again!”
“Izac is the man!!!! Saved the day for me. I had left my dog with another sitter that I was not stoked on. He went out of his way to go pick up my dog, took great of him, sent me tons of pictures, took him in walks. My dog was happy when I picked him up. Thanks Izac!!!”
“Vipulkumar was incredibly sweet and genuinely loves dogs. Very easygoing and comfortable around Mishmish, which put us at ease right away. Highly flexible with timing and requests, and he sent numerous cute videos of Mishmish, which we really appreciated. Clear communicator and reliable pet caregiver. We will definitely be back again!”
“We left Clyde with Pamela for the first time and it was an overnight stay. Pamela was more than accommodating to meet with me a few days prior and talk to make sure it was a good fit. During Clyde’s stay Pamela was very communicative which I appreciate greatly! Clyde came home very tired and happy - we will definitely be booking stays with Pamela again!!! Thank you!!”
“I left my Ellie with Carolina; she is so good that kept me updated every day she had my baby, either by photo or video. I will definitely use her again to take care of my Ellie. I definitely recommend he! Thank you, Carolina.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home, so your pet will have my full attention all day long. I currently have a cat and a 15 year old senior dog, so I truly understand the bond we have with our older furry friends. Since I care for a senior dog myself, I’m very comfortable with medical needs. I can easily handle: Injections (like insulin) and any oral medications. Special diets and strict feeding schedules. Senior care for pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. Because I’m home 24/7, I can provide constant companionship and as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be treated like family here I work from home full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule. Your pet will have my companionship 24/7, with constant supervision and as many potty breaks or walks as they need throughout the day A typical day includes lots of cuddles, mental stimulation, and fun games. We will explore the nearby park and enjoy long walks. Since I’m always home, I can strictly follow any feeding or medication schedules your pet requires
“Thank you for taking extra special care of Stella. I appreciate your daily updates and your patience as she adjusted to her surroundings. She came home relaxed and in good health.”
“I am so happy and blessed to have met Agueda. She took care of Chewy like her very own and Chewy was so happy. She kept me updated on his walks and play. Thank you so much Agueda!!”
“Fatima was great. I have only taken my dog to one place the last three years and at the last minute I needed a new place or someone to watch my dog. I am sure I am like most pet parents the thought of leaving my dog with someone I never met was a scary thought. Fatima responded quickly to my request and we met an hour later. She was great with my dog and after meeting with her I started to feel much better. While I was gone she communicated with me about the best times to go. She sent me videos and pictures which made me feel at ease. She also decided to take my girl for a walk (which is no easy task) which is not something we even talked about. It was such a great experience and it allowed me to feel comfortable on my weekend trip. Now that I know her I plan on using her to help us on days when we are gone for a long time or if we want to get away for one night. I actually have two dogs and the last day we had her watch both of them. She was great. This was the first time I ever used this type of service and it turned out to be a great experience that I plan on using more. Thank you, Fatima!”

I’ve had experience caring for many different types of animals over the years, but dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I absolutely love spending time with them and building strong, trusting bonds with each dog I meet. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member.

I also have experience working with dogs who experience anxiety, separation anxiety, nervousness, and other unique behavioral needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care while treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication administration, or simply keeping your pup company, you can trust that they’ll receive plenty of love and attention in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! A little about me! I earned my Associate’s degree in Behavioral and Social Sciences and am currently continuing my education to complete my Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology. My studies have helped me develop strong skills in understanding behavior, patience, communication, and building positive relationships—qualities that I bring into every interaction with the pets I care for. I also work part-time as an in-home caregiver, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, compassion, and attentiveness. Because of my flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pup and ensure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I am available most mornings throughout the week, with the exception of Thursdays and Sundays, and I look forward to providing a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your furry family member.

My home provides a loving, pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay. I also have four extremely friendly dogs of my own—two Chihuahuas, one Pomsky, and one Chow Chow—who love meeting new furry friends. They are well-socialized and enjoy playing, making them great companions for dogs who enjoy interaction and socialization. Of course, I always pay close attention to each dog’s personality and comfort level to ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, outdoor adventures, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, they’ll be treated like family and receive plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with me.

About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for pets and exotic wildlife both in human care and in the wild. I specialize in animal behavior and oversee behavioral enrichment programs in major zoological facilities. With my professional work, I am fluent in operant conditioning (training) by using positive reinforcement techniques. I am comfortable with senior and special needs dogs as well as puppies. I can administer medication, including injections, if needed. I work full time Tuesdays-Saturdays and am typically free after 3:30pm on most days and have full availability on most Sundays and Mondays. I am happy to try and work with my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. Having worked with exotic and domestic animals for over 25+ years in a professional setting, safety is always my number one priority. The care, comfort, and wellbeing of your fur baby is of the utmost importance. I am flexible to work with your needs and preferences.
About: I have a lot of experience with reactive and high energy dogs! My own dog is a rescue with severe reactivity. Though I am not a trainer, I have a lot of experience training puppies and dogs as a foster parent. Whatever training guidelines you want to adhere to on our walks I can definitely accommodate. I can take your dogs on structured walks or hiking adventures depending on what they need. I am also an avid runner who used to run with dogs from the shelter before I got my own so if that’s something you’re interested in (If you’re dog is a good breed for it, and the temperature is good) I would love to! I am currently in school and doing infrequent freelance work so my schedule is very open, and I have more than enough time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I do not take clients at my house, as my own dog is reactive and anxious. But I can take care of your dog in their own space! I am comfortable giving medication, feeding, and keeping up training regimens. I have experience using a variety of training tools through my foster work. If your dog is reactive, I know how to keep my head on a swivel during walks so we can create distance, and I know what to do if a reaction occurs.
“Wendy you are amazing!! Definitely a big help on such short notice. Appreciate you being able to meet my pups and I before my trip and they love you! Thank you so much. :)”

“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”
“Verle and Kaitlin were great with my pup! They sent so many cute pics and daily updates and helped put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will rebook the next time we’re in need. Great communication and wonderful sitters!”
“Isabella was very nice and patient with my animals. Always letting me know how they were doing and what they were up too. She took very good care of both my dog and my cat and loved them like they were her own.”
“Kenneth obviously loves Rylee and the feeling is mutual. She gets long walks and lots of cuddles. Kenneth sends regular updates and lots of pictures. I work five 48 hour shifts per month and I’m hope to book Kenneth as many of those days as he is free:)”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“Izac is the man!!!! Saved the day for me. I had left my dog with another sitter that I was not stoked on. He went out of his way to go pick up my dog, took great of him, sent me tons of pictures, took him in walks. My dog was happy when I picked him up. Thanks Izac!!!”
“We left Clyde with Pamela for the first time and it was an overnight stay. Pamela was more than accommodating to meet with me a few days prior and talk to make sure it was a good fit. During Clyde’s stay Pamela was very communicative which I appreciate greatly! Clyde came home very tired and happy - we will definitely be booking stays with Pamela again!!! Thank you!!”
“Kathryn was fanatic watching our dog. She gave constant updates and photos showing how much of a great time he was having. I would recommended her to anyone needing great dog care and can’t wait for Delta to stay with her again. Thank you!”
“Vanessa provided excellent care for Charlie. He got out on neighborhood walks, had open access to her large, fenced in yard, and got to play with her dog too! He came home very happy. We’d definitely book again.”
“Jermere & Janetta were absolutely awesome to work with. My dogs had such a good time. From the beginning to end, their communication was stellar and very helpful especially for our senior dog. Thank you again J & J!”
“if you were looking for someone to care for your furry, loved one and keep you posted on how they’re doing. Siera is the best . she took time to really get to know Enzo, and give him the special attention he needed. I would use her and recommend her to anybody who loves their pet. she will care for him and keep your mind at ease.”
“I can't thank Mihaela enough for taking such great care of our dog. She was a great communicator and sent a lot of photos while he was in her care. She was also so kind and understanding when my flight was delayed and I had to pick him up later. Would love to have her watch our dog again. Thank you!”
“Devin and Tyson are my favorite dog sitters! They are really so sweet with my dog even though she was having bad anxiety this time around! They were understanding of her accidents and they are so communicative. I adore them and hope they will continue to watch my little monster!”
“Sarah was a great sitter for our little dog, Logan. He was immediately comfortable with her… he didn’t even look back when we walked away! Sarah was very communicative, with pictures every day and a little bit about what he was up to. She was extremely easy to communicate with, and very responsive. We will definitely use Sarah again in the future!”
“This was our second time leaving our dog when we had to go out of town and our second time using Raquel’s services. She did amazing with Everest and he seems happy and healthy. She gave us daily pictures and notes on how he was doing. Our flight had gotten canceled at the end of our trip and we had to drive from Virginia back to San Diego and Raquel helped us instantly and kept Everest for a couple extra days so we could make it back home. If you need to board your dog I definitely recommend Raquel!”
“Carolina and her husband are wonderful! They took such good care of our pup while we were away. They were super flexible with a last minute booking and kept us in the loop with photos and updates throughout the weekend. It’s clear our dog had a great time with them and we’ll definitely reach back out in the future for other sitting needs! Thanks so much Carolina :)”
“Had the best experience with the sitter! She was so kind, met up and did a meet and greet in a park so our dogs could get comfortable with each other, and she sent so many photos and even took my dog on a 2 mile hike. We already booked her for our two week international trip and I feel so relaxed that my dog is going to be in good hands!!! My go to person!”
