“Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
“Melanie is such a kind and loving petsitter--and her longtime experience caring for senior dogs is such a huge benefit, too--she's given me great tips on things like how to get my dog to take his medicine and suggestions about how to help his mobility.”
“Took such good care of my pup Kona, provided daily pics/updates and was accommodating on drop off time. They also transported Kona to another dog sitter, as I was out of town for an extended period. Definitely went the extra mile, highly recommend :)”
“I could not be more pleased!! Savannah is a gem! I’m a worrier and Savannah put me at ease and I could tell she cared for our dogs like they were her own. My dog isn’t much for people and he was giving Savannah hugs on his way out. He didn’t want to leave! Hannah was beyond flexible with our flight delays and I greatly appreciated it!! As long as Savannah is willing to accept us as client again I don’t see myself trusting anyone else.”
“Whitney was super nice and friendly. My puppy, Luffy, looked really comfy & happy from the pic updates she sent throughout the day. She was very accomodating with everything my puppy needed to stay overnight. I would definitely recommend Whitney to anyone who’s trying to find a sitter for their pet/s. Overall an awesome experience, especially for my first time!”
“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”
“Mark is an absolutely the best. He is so accommodating, easy to communicate with and goes above and beyond anything I couldn’t have hoped for. I had pictures everyday and my little guy was obviously at home. I felt confident and reassured that little “Stevie “ was well cared for and happy. It was all that I could have hoped for.”
“Kylie & Anthony’s family were easy to work with and they took great care of our dog over Christmas week. They clearly love dogs and take the time to learn each dogs personality. They were flexible when our flight was three hours late.”
“Our Clover always gets the best care with Anar. It’s obvious that she enjoys being there when we’re away. She was wiped out after her last stay and passed out snoring when we got her home. Happy dog!”
“Maryjane took tremendous care of my beloved Dude. She asked questions upon my dog’s arrival to make sure he was accommodated accordingly and maintains a home that is ultra dog friendly. I will be booking with Maryjane again.”
“Jason was great with our dog Max. He sent us picture updates and gave Max bath, even though he didn’t have to. At the end he sent Max home with a nice doggy treat bag. Jason went above and beyond and treated our dog Max like his own. I highly recommend Jason for dog boarding services.”
“Moose & Maggie had a great time to with Monique. I received posts that kept me updated on how they got settled in and enjoyed their stay. I will use Monique again when I am back in San Diego.”
“Fatima was absolutely wonderful in her communications leading up to my dogs’ first stay with her. They were both so happy in her home which had lots of outdoor space for them to play in too. One of my dogs has a brain condition and needs medication and Fatima took great care of her. 100% recommend putting your fur babies in her care! Thanks for everything Fatima xoxo”

About: I currently live with a cat in my apartment, and have family who own a cat so I’m familiar with the everyday responsibilities of caring for a cat, including feeding, keeping their space clean, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. While I’m new to professional cat sitting, I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love animals. I’ll make sure your cat feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you provide.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life by dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and at 40+ years in, my love for them has only grown. I've pet sat for many households and have a natural ability to handle all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I'm a verified member of Trusted House Sitters (in which the primary is pet sitting), and I take that seriously. I'm experienced with medically complex pets. I've administered subcutaneous fluids, insulin injections, and oral medications. I also have cared for special needs animals including a three-legged seizure-prone Chihuahua, a teacup Chihuahua with broken elbows, and a German Shepherd with cow-hocks disease. If your pet has extra needs, they're in capable hands. My approach is calm, grounded, and playful and animals feel it. I'm a certified hypnotherapist and life coach, and the same energy awareness and patience I bring to people, I bring to pets. Anxious, shy, and difficult animals tend to soften around me naturally. My sister didn't call me the Cat and Dog Whisperer for nothing. :D I have a soft spot for the ones others overlook. I've rescued an abandoned Chihuahua-Terrier, adopted a shelter pup, and my two boys Bruce and Charlie came to me as feral kittens nobody else wanted. Every animal deserves patience, consistency, and genuine love and that's exactly what I bring to every walk and drop-in. I'm a San Diego local with regular availability in LA County as well, so wherever you are, I've got you covered. My schedule is flexible and I'm available most weekdays and select weekends, morning through evening. I don't operate on a rigid 9-to-5, which means I can work around your pet's needs rather than the other way around. Outside of pet care, I'm an active, outdoorsy person and love hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding. That energy carries directly into every walk and drop-in. Your dog won't just get a stroll around the block, they'll get someone who genuinely loves being outside and moving. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities always. I follow your established routines closely and take detailed instructions seriously. Every home, every pet, and every owner is different, and I respect that. When I'm in your home I treat it with care. I leave things as clean or cleaner than I found them. Your space and your pet's environment will be respected. I'm extremely mindful of doors and escape artists. I know how quickly a curious pet can bolt, and I create my own blockades when needed to make sure no one slips out unexpectedly. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs simultaneously including large, high-energy breeds. I've walked a Rottweiler and German Shepherd together, both with strong pulling tendencies, and handled them with confidence. You'll never wonder how your pet is doing. I send photos and updates daily including sometimes multiple times a day because I know how much you miss them and how much it means to see a happy face pop up on your phone. I also have hands-on experience with pet first aid, including applying Quik Stop for bleeding so minor mishaps are handled calmly and quickly without panic. Your home, your routines, your pet I've got all of it handled.
“Jade took amazing care of our Devon rex, Felipe!! She took the time to give us thorough updates and sent pictures of him every time she came by for a drop in visit which we really appreciated because we were missing our baby!! We will absolutely book with her for the next time we need care. Thank you, Jade!!”
“Great job with our three cats. Followed all instructions, great communication, and fun pictures of our cats (including some silly action shots of them playing). Would recommend/book again!”
About: I know it's their world and I am simply lucky they let me live in it, temporarily. I've had cats in my family since I was born! We always had two Siamese cats in the house growing up, and my first pet I adopted out of college was my very own cat. I've cat sit for friends over the years as well and always hang out for several hours, not just do a drive by of food and water refill. Even though we all know how much they love to do their own thing, it's important for them too to get some scritches, pets, and zooming around done while you're away.
“Savannah was a great sitter! We felt very comfortable leaving our cats with her as she played with them every visit and took a lot of pictures:) We would definitely recommend and will be a returning customer!”
“Dana did an awesome job watching our cat!! She was super responsive, came at the time we had requested, and even got our shy girl to come out and say hi! Would definitely recommend”
“Brenda was a wonderful cat sitter for our beloved Kickstand! She was reliable and communicative, and sent plenty of pictures and updates on if she was eating, got sick, etc. We’d absolutely request Brenda’s services again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, and I currently share my home with my own dog, Blu, so I know what it takes to keep a pup happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, or just extra cuddle time, I treat every dog in my care like family. I’m reliable, attentive, and always keep owners updated with photos and check-ins so you can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands. I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, and I currently share my home with my own dog, Blu, so I know what it takes to keep a pup happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, or just extra cuddle time, I treat every dog in my care like family. I’m reliable, attentive, and always keep owners updated with photos and check-ins so you can relax knowing your best friend is in good hands. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, so pet care takes place in your home rather than mine. When house sitting, I stay overnight to keep your pet on their normal schedule and provide company so they’re not alone. For drop-ins and walks, I make sure your home is secure before I leave — doors locked, gates closed — and I follow whatever routine keeps your pet most comfortable, whether that’s feeding times, medication, or favorite walking routes.
“Calla was once again a wonderful cat sitter! She took such thoughtful and attentive care of my cat while I was away, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent regular updates with cute photos and little notes about how things were going, which I really appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared. I came home to a happy, and relaxed cat. I’d trust Calla again in a heartbeat—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: My friends and family regularly rely on me to watch their cats while they’re out of town. I understand each cat will have their unique personalities and will require an individualized approach. I have the ability to assess your fur baby’s needs.
“Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.”
About: I have always loved cats! They are beautiful, intelligent, and truly amazing creatures. Every time I'm in their presence, I feel incredibly lucky and grateful for the chance to connect with such fascinating animals.
About: I’m trained to administer medications — including injections — and monitoring for subtle changes in behavior, appetite, litter box use, and overall health. Cats are incredibly good at hiding illness, and I’m trained to notice the nuance. As a lifelong cat owner, currently with three cats of my own, I understand multi-cat households, unique personalities, and the importance of patience. Your cat’s comfort, safety, and well-being are always my top priority — I care for every cat as if they were my own. 🐾 PLEASE (with medical exceptions) have your kitty up to date on Rabies. FVRCP not required for care. Please ask me questions if need.
“I can’t say enough good things about Jessica!!! She took such great care with our diabetic cat. She gave him his insulin and checked his blood sugar 2x daily while we monitored his disease. She was completely comfortable administering his daily too!! Our kitty loves her and so do we!!”

“Had a last minute trip and Melanie was able to accommodate us. She was very informative, sent pictures and let us know how she was doing. I would love to use Melanie again when we are in town.”
“Michelle was great with our anxious senior pup! He has separation anxiety and she created a very calming environment for him to hang out at and had a great system to ensure that he was comfortable. She was communicative and easy to plan with. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“William is super awesome. He took great care of our young pup and was a very cool and funny guy to boot. He was definitley flexible and super responsive. He’ll be a great buddy for my buddy going forward.”
About: I’ve grown up around both big and small dogs, including Labs and Chihuahuas, as well as Dobermans, and German Shepherds. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I currently live with a roommate who has a Lab and a cat, so I’m around both dogs and cats regularly. I’ve also had experience pet sitting for friends, family, and others, and I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I am currently working part-time that is during the day. So I can work evenings, the weekends and sometimes during the week on my days off. My apartment is clean and pretty big. There is a lot of places to walk the dog and go to the bathroom near my apartment
About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, including an Akita, an English Bulldog, and currently my 6-year-old French Bulldog. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and over the years I've regularly watched and cared for family members' dogs while they're away on vacation. My home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy a calm, relaxed environment. My French Bulldog is very laid-back and spends most of her day lounging, napping, and soaking up the sun. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can run around, play, get their zoomies out, or simply relax and enjoy being outside. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet place to unwind, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care throughout their stay. I work from home, which allows me to spend most of my day with the dogs in my care. Aside from occasional trips to the gym or running errands, I am home throughout the week and able to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to give dogs the attention and consistency they need to feel comfortable and at home. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I share my home with my boyfriend and our 6-year-old French Bulldog, who is friendly, relaxed, and enjoys spending her days lounging and sunbathing. We have a quiet, low-stress home environment that is ideal for dogs who enjoy both playtime and downtime. Our large backyard provides plenty of space for dogs to run, explore, burn off energy, or simply relax in the sun. I closely supervise outdoor time and always follow each dog's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions provided by their owners. I understand that every dog is unique, and I work to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they're away from home. I treat every dog in my care like they're part of the family and provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.
“Maryjane was a wonderful sitter for my dog, Peanut Butter! She was extremely responsive and helpful. When my sitter last minute cancelled, she swooped in to save the day. She sent updates about PB all day, which kept me feeling comfortable about my newly-adopted puppy. I’d highly recommend Maryjane!”
“Our dogs had the best time at Joseph and Chris’ home. We were in town just for the weekend and Joseph and Chris were very accommodating in hosting our pups while we went to the zoo. Communication leading up to the visit, and during their stay was phenomenal. Once we picked up our dogs, they fell asleep immediately, which is always a sign of a good time!”
“Olivia was great with both of our dogs! They came home happy and tired. She sent updates and photos throughout their stay and had really great communication the whole time. It was clear they were well taken care of. Thank you Olivia!”
“My dog loved her stay with Anar and was excited to return! Anar was flexible with pick-up and drop-off and sent me updates throughout the day on how Willow was doing!”
About: Have had family dogs all my life and my little guy for almost 5 years. I know the amount of work and dedication it takes to give them a happy and full life. I have also pet sit for friends both dogs and cats over the years. My friends know I’m someone they can depend on. I work from home primarily east coast hours so can be flexible in the afternoons/evenings. If your home is close can also work around meetings earlier in the day! I want to make sure your pet has a relaxed and comfortable time with me. I personally get pretty anxious when someone is checking in or taking care of my pet so I will do my best to ease that feeling for others.
“Todd and Bill are great; they set up a meet & greet and made sure my pup got along with their dogs. I already had a stay booked for a few days later this month, but needed doggy daycare for a day while I went up to Disneyland. They were flexible in the pickup/dropoff times, I got updates, pictures, and a video of Holly throughout the day, and I couldn't be happier. Holly has been home for hours and hasn't moved a muscle- she's totally pooped from playing all day. Will be booking with them again many times!”
“Antonio was super welcoming to my dog Merlin who always brings tons of energy. He made sure that Merlin had the chance to meet all of his dogs one on one and made sure they got along. There was ample space for Merlin to run around and burn off his morning puppy energy. Antonio was great at communicating and understanding when my plans were delayed. We will definitely be back!”
“Star was amazing with our 3 pups! They had the best time. She was communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept them active and provided the best report card. Highly recommend!”
“Dusty had an AMAZING time with Stefani! During his drop of it was clear that he was right at ease with her immediately and shortly after I left he was already snuggled up for a morning nap! I’m incredibly appreciative that they went for a fun filled romp at the dog beach, so he got to run and exercise and play. Stefani sent photos and updates which helped ease my mind that my pup was in great hands and not missing me a bit! Stefani was flexible and helpful and I’m quite sure Dusty wanted to stay even longer than his one day visit! We’d love to return again 🥰”
About: I got my first dog over 20 years ago and have a lot of experience watching friends’ dogs when they travel. I currently have two dogs and would love to host any dog that gets along with my two! Both my husband and I work from home so we can give your pup lots of attention. I work from home and I’m home most of the day during the week. My house has a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks and play time and I walk my dogs 2-3 times per day. If your dog loves walks, they will be walked at least twice a day. I have a fenced in yard and a safe home. My two dogs are my world and I will treat your pup with same care that I give to them.
“We had a wonderful experience with Mihaela as our pet sitter! She is a very kind lady with a truly good heart. Mihaela took such great care of our dog, Mochi—we could tell he felt safe and loved while we were away. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and compassionate. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Karilou is probably the best dog walker Gus and I've had. He adores her. One day I stayed home from work and forgot to contact Karilou. Gus knew she was coming before I did. When she arrived a was so glad because I was too sick to walk Gus. I thought he was going to knock her over he was so happy to see her. Thanks Karilou! I know Gus is always happy to spend time with you!”
“Mihaela was great! Helped me out with a walk for Maui on pretty short notice and she took lots of pictures and a video and gave a really nice detailed report after the walk 🥰 would absolutely use her again!”

About: Hi! I just moved to San Diego from OC with my 4 year old Goldendoodle Willow (who I’ve raised since she was 8 weeks old) to get my masters in social work. She loves hanging with new dogs of all sizes! At home, my mom has two dogs and I’ve been dog sitting for years now. I’ve always been an animal lover and truly enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like part of the family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns I’d love to help! Currently, I work from home as a seamstress and I attend school part time- just a two hour class on Tuesday and Thursday evening. I have separation anxiety from my dog Willow, so I never leave her alone longer than I have to. You can count on your pup always having company! My yard is fully fenced in with lots of area to run. Our home is one story and I work from home, so I’ll be with them the whole time!
“Spencer has been doing daily dog walking for our two dogs for the past couple months and is reliable and responsive. He is great with our pups and would recommend him to anyone!”

I enjoy long/short walks, quick hangouts, and checking in to make sure their pets are safe and sound! I’m currently a university student and have plenty of time between classes during any day of the week to check on and walk your loved pets. I unfortunately can’t take any pets in my own home. However, in my clients home I will happily care for their pets as instructed.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me to feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I worked at the humane society, so I have experience with various breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s high-energy playtime, gentle care for senior dogs, or helping reinforce basic training. I prioritize safety, routine, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Our pup loved his walks with Savannah! I usually stress abt having anyone care for him in my absence, but she made the whole thing very easy and worry-free for us. We even got little report cards of his walks and activities. We’ll def be using her again! 🤍”
About: Hi, all! My name is Grace. I have been taking care and walking dogs my whole life, I but entered the professional pet care industry about 10 years ago. I love taking care of dogs and other animals from all walks of life, as I believe all living things should have the best quality of life that they possibly can. I have also been an athlete for over two decades, and cannot wait to have fun getting active with your animals. I offer jogging/running for the more athletic pups, and a more leisurely stroll for the dogs that like to take life a bit slower, as well as dog-sitting and drop-ins for all animals in between. I can't wait to meet you and your fluffy friends! I work part time in the afternoons and evenings, so I able to take your pets out for a fun activity in the mornings and afternoons until 2pm. I look forward to building a relationship with your furry friends! I do not offer in-home care as I live with roommates and a strictly human-friendly cat, but I love to extend my hospitality to the setting where your pet is most comfortable, their own home. I am pleased to offer safe and fun care while I am in your home, with lots of activity or snuggles depending on the energy levels.
About: My love for animals has always been great and that allows friends and family to trust that I can sufficiently take care of their adored animals. I’m currently in summer school, but that does not prevent me from being available any day of the week for however long. I can adapt to odd schedules with ease. I am open to working at any home or environment and able to afford the care and attention that any animal may require out of me.
About: Hi! I’m Andrew, a student at San Diego State University who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. I’m reliable, responsible, and active, making me a great fit for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’ve helped neighbors in the past with dog-sitting and have only had positive reviews! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’ll also be working part-time, but I only have two classes each week, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits. I’ll always keep my Rover calendar updated so you know exactly when I’m available. I know pets are part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Savanna. I work full time as a veterinary technician. My life since childhood has been filled with cats, dogs, ferrets, lizards, snakes, etc., so I know what it means to consider a pet family. I have worked in veterinary medicine for 7 years so I am familiar with proper pet care and will be able to administer any medications your pets may need. We have a veterinary office only a few blocks away from us just in case of emergency. I live with my partner and roommate and we all have a strong love for animals. However, the primary caretakers during your pet’s stay will be myself and my partner. We're always ready for long walks, play time, or cuddles on the couch. We also like to practice any tricks that your pet may be learning. We plan to give your pups the best love and care they deserve. We always (and only) use positive reinforcement with treats or praise. Thanks for considering us! I'll only accept pet sitting or dog walking requests on days that I am off so that I can fully commit to spending time with your pups. I have experience with animals with all sorts of energy levels and activity needs. I'm also confident in my ability to make anxious pets feel more at ease, as I am Fear Free Certified.

“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”
“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
“Took such good care of my pup Kona, provided daily pics/updates and was accommodating on drop off time. They also transported Kona to another dog sitter, as I was out of town for an extended period. Definitely went the extra mile, highly recommend :)”
“I could not be more pleased!! Savannah is a gem! I’m a worrier and Savannah put me at ease and I could tell she cared for our dogs like they were her own. My dog isn’t much for people and he was giving Savannah hugs on his way out. He didn’t want to leave! Hannah was beyond flexible with our flight delays and I greatly appreciated it!! As long as Savannah is willing to accept us as client again I don’t see myself trusting anyone else.”
“Mark is an absolutely the best. He is so accommodating, easy to communicate with and goes above and beyond anything I couldn’t have hoped for. I had pictures everyday and my little guy was obviously at home. I felt confident and reassured that little “Stevie “ was well cared for and happy. It was all that I could have hoped for.”
“Kylie & Anthony’s family were easy to work with and they took great care of our dog over Christmas week. They clearly love dogs and take the time to learn each dogs personality. They were flexible when our flight was three hours late.”
“Our Clover always gets the best care with Anar. It’s obvious that she enjoys being there when we’re away. She was wiped out after her last stay and passed out snoring when we got her home. Happy dog!”
“Maryjane took tremendous care of my beloved Dude. She asked questions upon my dog’s arrival to make sure he was accommodated accordingly and maintains a home that is ultra dog friendly. I will be booking with Maryjane again.”
“Jason was great with our dog Max. He sent us picture updates and gave Max bath, even though he didn’t have to. At the end he sent Max home with a nice doggy treat bag. Jason went above and beyond and treated our dog Max like his own. I highly recommend Jason for dog boarding services.”
“Moose & Maggie had a great time to with Monique. I received posts that kept me updated on how they got settled in and enjoyed their stay. I will use Monique again when I am back in San Diego.”
“Samantha watched our Lab Shepherd mix, and our dog was in absolute heaven! She has a lot of anxiety, but Samantha did an amazing job following her routine and making sure she felt safe, comfortable, and loved. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day, which I really appreciated and gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Nick. He was professional, reliable, and cared about my pet's well-being. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet came home happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would definitely book with them again!”
“Overall, we had a good experience. They were able to accommodate our dog on very short notice, which we really appreciated. Erlinda was quick to respond, her daughter was easy to work with, and our dog was well taken care of. We’re grateful they were able to help us out last minute and would consider using them again.”
“Sam was great! When our other sitter canceled on us, he was able to do a meet & greet and accept our booking all within 24 hours of us going out of town. Our pup had a great time at his place, and he sent detailed updates/pictures every day. We will definitely use him again!”
“Molly was fantastic and took excellent care of my 70lb Pitbull. Loved all the updates I received and her home is clean and gorgeous with space for him to roam freely and safely outside”
About: I’ve grown up around both big and small dogs, including Labs and Chihuahuas, as well as Dobermans, and German Shepherds. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I currently live with a roommate who has a Lab and a cat, so I’m around both dogs and cats regularly. I’ve also had experience pet sitting for friends, family, and others, and I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I am currently working part-time that is during the day. So I can work evenings, the weekends and sometimes during the week on my days off. My apartment is clean and pretty big. There is a lot of places to walk the dog and go to the bathroom near my apartment
