“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!”
“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.”
“Jango and I absolutely loved Daniel! He was flexible, personable, and clearly a dog lover. He kept me updated with adorable photos the whole time so I was always confident that my pup was being well taken of. When it was time to pick up, Jango had a hard time saying goodbye to his new friend. Would happily bring him back! Thank you!”

“Victoria has a lovely home and took great care of my Palmer! We got photos daily of them having a great time together with family and beautiful walks over Christmas break”
“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.”
“Haley took great care of Greyson, and it was clear that he quickly warmed up to her despite having some separation anxiety. Looks like they spent some time at the beach!”

“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:)”
“Teresa was so wonderful! Her response time is so great, and all of the videos and pictures she sent were perfect. Meatball really enjoyed his stay with her, and had no problem making himself at home. Teresa made his stay so comfortable, and I felt good knowing he was in great hands. Meatball will definitely be staying with her again in the future!”

About: Admittedly, I'm more experienced with dogs, but I've dealt with cats for a good portion of my life as well. Starting in middle school, I've had cats as pets alongside dogs and dealt with ages from kittens to some shockingly old cats and dealt with the meanest and sweetest ones across that range.
“My wife and I were extremely pleased with Sophia. She was flexible to schedule with, very communicative, and did a great job keeping us informed of our cat’s activities. We appreciated how good Sophia was at leaving detailed notes on her activities during each visit, and all the photos she took for us. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Booked Silvana last minute and she’s amazing! Very great with my pup and my cats and she goes above and beyond. She’s amazing with following directions and being respectful of our home. She takes Lenny on great walks and plays with him during drop in visits. She’s also very responsive! Would highly recommend!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Rachel taking care of my cat Nugget. She went above and beyond by sending regular updates and adorable pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Nugget seemed happy and well-cared-for. Highly recommend Rachel for her attentiveness and communication skills!”
“We recently had Sara care for our cat, Squash, while we were on vacation. It was the first time we’d ever left him in someone else’s care for extended amount of time and she was absolutely wonderful! From the start, Sara was professional, attentive, and genuinely interested in getting to know Squash’s personality and needs. She even scheduled a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure she could meet all of his specific needs, taking detailed notes and asking thoughtful questions. During our trip, she took care of him and our home very well - even making sure to charge his favorite toy! The updates and photos she sent made it clear that Squash adored her, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter!”
“Haylee was great with all of my special requests, was responsive, and receptive and kind to my always unpredictable, sometimes rude little cat. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Chanel is the perfect cat sitter! She was very communicative and took great care of my kitty. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a cat sitter!”
“Alli cat sit for our energetic 1 year old cat while we were on a 3 week vacation. She was nice enough to do 2 pre-visits with us so we and our cat could meet her. We knew upon meeting her that she understood cat behaviors and is a “cat lady”. While we were gone, she visited our cat about the same time everyday and gave daily reports and pictures with each visit, which we absolutely loved. She shared what they did each day and we could tell she did her best to get my cat’s energy out each day like we asked. She also followed our wet and dry cat food routines and took care of the litter box. Overall, we were extremely happy with Ali’s services and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Gaby took very good care of my dog with separation anxiety. I was initially worried as my dog has never been with a dogsitter before but Gaby kept Shio happy and relaxed throughout her stay. She sent me updates throughout the day too. Would definitely bring Shio back when we visit san diego again.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, dog loving sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds, from my family’s Rottweiler to dogs I’ve watched for friends, family, past employers and current employers :). I know every dog is different, so I focus on making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to build my day around pet care. I also like to stay active, which makes dog walks a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I can be available to give your dog the attention and care they need. I usually just follow whatever routine your dog is already used to (feeding times, walks, playtime, all of that) so nothing feels off for them. In your home, I try to keep things as normal and low stress as possible. If they’re with me, they’ll get regular walks, attention, and a calm, clean space to hang out. I’m pretty attentive and good at picking up on what a dog needs, whether that’s more activity or just time to chill.
“Tiffany has been such a caring and reliable sitter for my Chloe! Since the first time watching Chloe she has showed so much patience and consideration for Chloe’s situation being her first time away from me! I have now rebooked with Tiffany 4 times and she has been so reliable every weekend for me ! I was so nervous about leaving Chloe with a sitter but now I get to go to work knowing she is safe every time ! 10/10 recommend Tiffany to everyone if you’re looking for someone that knows how to communicate and really care for our little fur babies 💕”
About: I am a college educated adult male. I live in Point Loma. I work at home and am typically very flexible. I walk my own dog twice daily and figured I could help others out. I have had dogs for 20 years. Currently my family of five has a Aussie Poo named Suzie. She is a lot of energy. So she gets lots walks. Our last dog lived 13 years so I know how to manage elderly dogs. Let me know if you need help. I work at home and am around most days to be able to work with your schedule. I have a professional career and thought doing some dog walking or sitting would get me out of the house. Looking forward to helping others out. I would like to offer my services for your pup as you need. I would prefer to watch them and care from them outside of my own home. But I am also flexible.
“Hope was so amazing! She kept my pup so comfortable and gave him all the cuddles and lots of walks. She also accepted our last minute request for daycare which was very appreciated. We will definitely use her next time we’re in town.”
About: I have grown up with dogs, but more recently, raised a 13-year-old beagle named Scurvy (he passed away two years ago), so I have all the dog experience needed to care for your baby(ies)💗I want to help others while helping my heart heal as well. Walks, feeding, bathing, allergy issues. I even have a kennel and toys:) I just got my master’s degree (le phew!), so my schedule has freed up significantly. Also, my boyfriend works remotely- the puppers won’t ever be alone. My boyfriend has two friendly cats that are spayed and neutered. Pottie places are in our unfenced backyard, so it is easy to relieve your pet(s).
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, tarantulas, frogs, and turtles as pets. With over 20 years of pet-sitting experience, my services were mostly sought by family and friends. I've always been the go-to person in my family for pet care needs. I've house-sat my parents' two dogs numerous times, including a continuous four-month period while they traveled across the country in their RV. I regularly board one of my sister's cats when she's away for work and also take care of my other sister's dog, providing both walking and boarding services when she travels. I am a high school math teacher. So, I’m off during the summer. That gives me lots of free time where I can care for your pets. I live in a 3 bedroom 2 bath house, about 1200 square feet. The inside of my house is pet friendly and my backyard is gated and has grass for pets to play on.
About: I grew up in an animal-loving family, where caring for pets was a shared responsibility. I haven’t had a dog in a while, and I truly miss being around them, which is one of the reasons I love pet sitting. Because I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I can follow their routines, provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and make sure they’re never left alone for long. I have a big patio, it is fenced, so the dogs can use it. My house is very clean, I care about that too and I think it is important for pets to stay in a safe and clean place

About: I am a dog person! No matter the dog I am sure to love and adore them. I do have a 5 year old English Bulldog (M) of my own who is a total couch potato. He’s spent a lot of time around other dogs and does particularly well with puppies and female dogs (he’s a ladies man lol). Growing up neighbors, friends and family were always calling me to care for their fur babies whether they were running home late from work or away for vacation. Some breeds I have sat in the past include: bulldogs, Golden’s, labs, bernies, and pugs I currently work from home 4.5 days a week (Tuesday mornings I am in office), so have a fairly flexible schedule when it comes to tending to your pets needs🙂 ** At this time I am not able to stay overnight at clients homes, if you are interested in having me do multiple drop in visits to your home throughout the day reach out and I will charge you my overnight price. While you are away my goal is to allow your pet to stay on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that be going for long walks, playing outside, or extra long belly rubs I want to make sure your pet is getting the love and care they are used to.

About: * 2+ dogs I only offer house sitting at your place no boarding* Coverage area Point Loma and OB or 10 minutes from MCRD*now booking October-December 2026* I love dogs! Big or small, young or old, your fur baby will be loved and entertained. I like to go on walks daily, I also offer house sitting, so your pup can stay where he or she is more comfortable. No extra charge for extra pets :) House sitting rate includes overnight stay and a mid day walk. Most days I will stay at your house longer than that, but that’s the bare minimum you can expect. I live my life out of your house and will be in and out during the day. As a dog mom, I know how hard it is to find someone you trust around your babies! I will love on them and make sure they are happy. . I usually do a short walk in the morning, another one around mid day, and a longer one in the afternoon. I look forward to meeting your pup! Two or more dogs from the same family, I stay at your house . I can handle medication, injections, and bathe them if needed. I spend extra time at the beginning building a bond with your dog, and making sure he/she is comfortable around me. I'm happy sleeping with your dogs in bed. I don't really have a set schedule, if your pup is good in the car and happy to go on adventures, I take them along if I'm running an errand or going to lunch, if they're happy at home, I come back for pee breaks. I am rarely out at night. If I am staying at your place, I ask that you turn off inside puppy cameras. I never bring dogs from another family into your home. I usually cross the street when we walk, even if your dog is friendly, because you never know who is coming. If your dog has a great come back command, I'm happy to do off leash areas, but usually take the time to bond with a leash before doing that.
“Joanna was absolutely amazing with my dog Milo! She was super responsive, very nice, easy to coordinate care with and went above and beyond when taking care of him. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Hanny was fantastic with Oliver! She watched him for a few hours today and was incredibly friendly and responsive. Highly recommend her, and will definitely reach out again next time we're in SD! Thanks again!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and love caring for and cuddling them. My teenage son wants to be a veterinarian and also loves researching pet breeds and their needs. I work from home and would love to have more pets to cuddle, walk and care for. We play with and cuddle the dogs as much as they would like. The cats are the boss - we leave the interaction up to them. We will play and cuddle if they want it - or just be nearby if they prefer. All pets are welcome to be on furniture and in beds - whatever makes them happy :) We live across the street from the San Diego Yacht Club so have a beautiful walking trail we can take dogs on walks on - and also have an outdoor seating area and balconies for both dogs and cats to sit in the sunshine with us. I am home full time now so have lots of time to devote to pets. They are my priority when here and my goal is to send them home well taken care of and happy. Our home is in a small community in Shelter Island with lots of space by the water for nice shady walks and also fenced in areas where the pets can sit outside with me and my family and enjoy the outdoors.
About: I grew up with standard poodles and other animals, so animal care as always been a big part of my life. I've worked as a vet assistant and kennel tech where I assisted with exams and took care of boarded animals at the clinic. Some were boarded for a few days or while the recovered from surgery. I handled things like giving medication, baths, feeding and walks as well as cleaning the kennel facility. I've extended that same standard of thorough and compassionate care to all aspects of dog care, ensuring their care and well-being is the top priority! I have a flexible schedule and I can walk your dog several times a day as needed and they can play in the backyard, lounge on a covered porch or stay indoors. I also can take them to the small beach at the end of my street or the famous Dog Beach for exercise and a swim if you like. I live in a house on a quiet street, in a pet friendly neighborhood along Sunset Cliffs, Ocean Beach. I have a large backyard and side yard that locks and a shady covered porch. Your dog is more than welcome to stay inside the house the entirety of their stay as well. i like to watch behaved and non aggressive dogs.

Before taking that step, I want to teach them the responsibility and importance of caring for an animal, including consistency, patience, love, and respect for a pet’s routine. I’m dependable, caring, and happy to help with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and daily photo/text updates. I’ve had dogs since before I can remember of all sizes and breeds. From puppy’s to senior understanding the importance of caring for these as though they are our own. Available in Point Loma, Ocean Beach, Liberty Station, Shelter Island, and nearby areas. Please message me if you’re looking for reliable local pet care or know someone who is!

I currently live in a community of homes which is not near any busy streets. Each circle of homes has speed bumps and is very family & pet friendly with other dogs and plenty of space for dogs to walk and be outdoors.

Moose looks forward to seeing her, and she gives me peace of mind knowing I don’t have to worry about him while I’m traveling. We’re so happy to have found her and would recommend her to anyone. We look forward to using her again in the future!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have taken care of mostly big dogs as my own. I have spent overnights with both dogs and cats. Lots of availability. Would be available for overnights or feeding or walks. Only need a day or two in advance to be ready to go. Clean up after my dogs, feed them, bathe them, play with them. I love to take them for walks and sometimes we go to the beach.
About: I am an animal lover at my core and have years of experience caring for pets! My experience is with all ages and most sizes (up to 100 pounds) of dogs, including administering basic medical care such as oral medication and wound care daily. I also love cats and have a few years of experience caring for them! I'm currently working about part-time in Point Loma at my university. Overnight care and check-ins before and after work, and at lunch work best for my schedule! Starting the week of July 20, I am also completely free on Thursday afternoons and all day Fridays. Let me know what your pet loves and how I can provide the best care in your home! I want to keep you and your pet as comfortable as possible with my care, so let me know what works best for you and your furry friend!
About: I have always been drawn to animals and love being around them. As a San Diego native and nature lover, a nice long walk with a dog is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I've lived with and cared for my brother's two dogs for almost a decade and have either owned or had experience with fish, birds, cats and bunnies. Although I'm currently at a point in my life where I'm not ready to have any pets myself, I'm the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family and am always open to the opportunity to have even more animals to care for and love on in my life. I work in a chiropractic office currently operating under a hybrid in office/ work from home schedule. I work 9-5 MWF but have flexibility throughout the rest of the week and weekends off. When I am caring for a pet they are my top priority, whether that means bringing the pet with me into the office or leaving midday for a check up and/or potty break. I have a fenced in concrete back yard with a swimming pool but the pool area has a separate gate that can be locked while caring for pets. We also have a side yard with grass to utilize while leashed.
“Kirra is a passionate and enthusiastic dog lover which is exactly what we need for our fur baby and he loves his time with her. I feel like my dog is safe when he is with her because she has great judgement and understands my dogs temperament when it comes to interacting with other dogs. She takes my dog on long walks and provides him with plenty of love while I am at work. Thank you Kirra!”
About: I’m a local nursing student with three years of experience pet sitting and babysitting. Before moving to college I was able to often care for dogs in my neighborhood, including walking, feeding, playing, and house sitting. I enjoy being able to get in my exercise for the day by walking/hiking with dogs if possible (safely of course!) In addition to caring for pets, I frequently babysit, often looking after the dogs of the families I work with. My knowledge of the area and community, combined with my flexible schedule, ensures that I can accommodate your pet's needs. Whether it's a quick visit or a longer stay, I offer personalized and attentive care for your furry friends. Let me help you ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for while you're away! I’m a working student nurse but am able to visit your pets anytime after 3pm or before 7am on weekdays, and am free on weekends! I have no problem and am comfortable with all pets :) I do have a car and reliable way of transportation to and from the location as necessary! I am flexible and willing about hours as long as there is communication ahead of time! I am able bodied and have no problem with large or small dogs. I am comfortable playing and walking dogs. I do not have a home where I can welcome pets in (part of the reason I would like to help others!) but as always will treat every families home with utmost respect and care. Feeding is absolutely no problem as long as I have instructions and crates are not an issue as well!
About: I’ve grown up with several pets including two dogs, one of which I cared for as they got old and sadly passed away. In addition to my own pets, I have been a go to house/dog sitter for a few neighbors for 5+ years. I love going on walks with doggos and staying active. I take care in being responsible and treating your pets as if they were my own :) I’m free to care before and after my school which goes from late morning to mid afternoon, then outside of my occasional one day of weekend work. I am careful to ensure the pet is well taken care of and comfortable. This might include outdoor time, food/meds, and making sure they do not feel alone at night. I’ve noticed that many dogs greatly enjoy spending as much time as possible outside. I also make sure to keep in good communication with owners and love sending little pic and videos to update.

“Jango and I absolutely loved Daniel! He was flexible, personable, and clearly a dog lover. He kept me updated with adorable photos the whole time so I was always confident that my pup was being well taken of. When it was time to pick up, Jango had a hard time saying goodbye to his new friend. Would happily bring him back! Thank you!”

Meatball will definitely be staying with her again in the future!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Taylor & Sarah. They exceed all communication expectations and it was beyond evident in the photos they sent that our dog felt super comfortable and happy with them and Mango. As a rover sitter myself, I know what goes into caring for others dogs - we are so appreciative of their level of care, and they made us feel beyond comfortable while we were away :)”
