“Julia was absolutely wonderful with Radar! She watched him overnight and was very flexible and accommodating with the pickup and drop-off times, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated throughout his stay with pictures and updates, and she was always available whenever I had questions. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Radar was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Julia and would happily have her watch Radar again! 🐾”

About: I grew up around dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. My partner and I share a comfortable home with a fenced backyard and our own friendly, dog-social husky, who makes a wonderful companion for visiting dogs. Having a husky, I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds and know how to keep active dogs exercised, engaged, and happy. Because there are two of is and we’re flexible during the day, your down is rarely left alone. There’s almost always someone home for feeding, play, and cuddles. I come from a hospitality and food-service background, so attentive care, cleanliness, and clear communication are things I take seriously. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe and having fun. I treat every dog like a member of the family, and I’d love to do the same for yours! My partner and I both have flexible daytime schedules, so there’s almost always someone to feed, walk, and play with your dog. We can accommodate your dog’s normal routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday play, or evening cuddles. We plan our own schedules around our boarding guests, so your dog gets consistent attention and is rarely left alone during their stay. Our home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can play and burn energy safely, and our friendly husky makes a great companion for social guests. We keep the space clean and dog-proofed, with fresh water always available and secure fencing so no one slips out. We’re comfortable crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine, and we’re happy to follow your feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, and we send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is safe and content.
“Robin was great! She was very communicative and kept us updated throughout our trip, including sending us pictures of our pup. We really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Viktorria took care of Marlo for a week and she was great! I got plenty of video updates and he always looked like he was having a great time. He was in good spirits upon my return and I got a good report back on his behavior! Viktorria was great and I would definitely book again! Thank you so much for taking good care of him!”
About: As someone that calls my dog "my daughter" - I know how important it is that your dogs are happy and safe while you're away! I have always been a huge animal lover and grew up with dogs (among other animals such as hedgehogs and turtles...) I live in a townhome in Encinitas with my boyfriend and mom, who are both also major dog lovers. As I am currently getting my masters degree online, I will be the person with them all day taking care of them! I have one dog named Fudge- a 10 year old medium sized cavalier/ bernese mountain dog rescue. She is mellow and usually keeps to herself. She is fine with sitting on the couch all day or going on long hikes or spending the day at the dog beach, so we are used to all kinds of activity levels from dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages- puppies to seniors. I will treat your pup like my own and provide customized care to make sure they feel spoiled and loved during their stay. I am working on getting my masters degree in behavioral analysis online and not currently working a job so I will be home with the dogs all day. I have a fenced in yard and also commit to walking my dog daily. I can bring the dogs on many adventures such as hikes, parks, dog beach, etc if the family desires or feels comfortable with that.
“Great dog sitters! Kept me updated on how my Duboo was doing. Made sure she ate throughout her stay by even sharing some of their pet’s fresh food. Sent photos throughout the stay and Duboo was always walked! Would definitely rebook!”
“Olivia and Sebastien were awesome caregivers for our dog, Koa! I found them last minute, after our usual sitters were unavailable to help with boarding for an out of town trip. They made the time for a quick meet and greet with their dog, Zuko which was appreciated. During our trip, I got photos and videos to reassure me that Koa was doing ok. I would absolutely welcome their help again in the future!”
“Maple enjoy her stay with Elizabeth and I got pictures at least twice a day of her walks and little excursions. Elizabeth was flexible, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond to texts. We would book with her again.”
“Lori did amazing with my dog Theo! She has great energy and Theo, who can be shy with strangers, immediately felt comfortable around her. Lori is friendly and communicative and has a dog-friendly house with yard that Theo loved. It’s great to know I can leave Theo with her and he’ll get walks and cuddles and be taken care of”
“Contacted Linda to watch Hazel for 10 days while we were out of the country. I had complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be in good hands after meeting Linda and her dog (Sammie). Was given updates while I was gone and was extremely satisfied and would recccomend her services to friends and family looking to board their dog.”
“Hands down my go to for pet sitting. Amazing communication and great pictures to keep your mind at ease while away. For sure will use in the future for pet sitting. 10 out of 10!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid! I have volunteered for my local animal shelter and have experience fostering puppies and animals recovering from surgeries! My house is filled with love by my two cats and dog, all rescued! <3 I work from home full time, with a dedicated office space with plenty of dog beds, and a fenced in bark yard. I go on about a 2-mile walk a day with my pupper, Irwin, and am usually home the rest of the day! On the weekends we might be gone from 3-4 hours at times! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog who absolutely lovesssss friends. I am very flexible and can make whatever schedule you need work.
“Kathy took great care of our pup Leo while we went out of town for a couple of days. She was great with communication and gave us updates through the stay. Would absolutely book with Kathy again and highly recommend her!”
“This was the first time I had my cat stay for an extended period of time and he couldn’t have been happier. I received lots of photo and video updates and Zil was always responsive. He had so much fun that he didn’t want to go home. He’ll definitely be visiting again with Zil.”

“Amy is such a great sitter! I love my cat Rollie so much because she's like my baby. Every time I go away for a trip, my heart aches because I wish I could bring Rollie with me! But Amy made sure Rollie was in good hands. She's really attentive and she also made sure to send me updates with pictures to ensure Rollie was doing well. Thank you so much Amy!! 💗”
About: I absolutely adore cats! I had two cats of my own for several years and loved having them. While it has been some time since I’ve owned cats, I’m very comfortable around them and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I’m happy to feed, play, clean litter boxes, and give them plenty of attention or space, if that’s what they prefer!
“We were in bit of bind as we extended our vacation another week to attend to some business. We had only booked 2 weeks with a previous pet sitter and needed help with the last minute planned 3rd week. Audrey, was very easy to communicate with and had no problem”
About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.
“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”
About: I am a teacher. Very patient and understanding of all your furry friends needs. I have been pet sitting and walking for 10 years. Located in Encinitas and know some of the best sniff spots! I work full time from 6-3 and mostly available on weekends! Since I am working in Encinitas I am a local reliable source for weekly care. I do not have a yard area to pet sitting. I am open to do drop ins and check on your furry friends where there live to be the most!

“Julia made our San Diego visit so much more enjoyable as she watched our fur baby. She was very prompt, responsive, and flexible. Definitely requesting her again for our next visit.”
“This was my first rover so I was admittedly quite nervous. Not only for myself, but even my dogs caretaker as at 4 months old, she can still have puppy like tics. Despite it all, Linda was communicative, thorough and a joy to interact with. You can tell her family has a great vibe, and that reflects in how they treat their dogs. I’m especially appreciative that we were a bit late to pick my pup up due to some traffic and Linda was so understanding and patient. Two paws way way up ?”
“Julie was fantastic! Rossi was so excited to go over there for a few days of daycare. Rossi loved her and looked happy, she was super nice and responsive and took great care of him”
“Angelica took such great care of our 4 month old puppy, Tapioca. She sent us pictures throughout the day and took him on 3 walks! Plus, their dachshund, Copper, was also wonderful playmate. We will definitely reach out again for dog sitting with Angelica.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends. I am pretty open nowadays. Ready to take care of your furry babies as much as needed! Also, have my helpers ( my kids off school, are ready to help)! Right now I am open to come and take care of your pets! Always willing to come first to get to know your pets, and introduce myself. Folowing the rules and instructions- that’s number one priority. Safety, Trust, Care and Love only!
About: I grew up with dogs, both big and small, including my own as well as fostered puppies my whole life. I am home sick and missing loving my furry friends at home. I currently work from home 5 days a week and have a flexible schedule. I live a very active lifestyle and love to go on walks. I have a very pet friendly environment and have taken care of multiple of my friends dogs. My apartment is animal friendly with space, comfortability, and allows us to tend to animal needs.

About: As a certified Holistic Health Practitioner I look at animal care from all aspects. I make sure they get good nutrition, exercise and interaction with other dogs. I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding. There are no cancer causing pesticides being used around our home and only bio-degradable non-toxic cleaners. For me dogs are supporting and protecting us on our journeys physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. I also offer canine massage. My husband and I are working from home and our daughter (19) is currently taking online classes. All of us love animals very much and enjoy being around them... We have a fully fenced yard (6 ft) and 2 little dogs ( one senior and one puppy) to keep your dog company. We have balls and toys to play with and your dog is welcome to share the dog beds and our couch with everybody. Our porch door is open all day which makes potty training easy and gives your dog plenty of outdoor time. We usually take everybody for a nice sunset walk and can add a nice beach walk to the day. We do not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals and there are no toxic/ poisonous plants in our yard/home.

“Lan took very good care of Peanut. Last minute I had to change my reservation to assist my friend with her dog and Lan accommodated the situation with no hesitancy. Peanut was a happy camper and the photo helped to ease my concerns of him being in an unfamiliar place. Thank you so much for your care and accomodations.”

“This is our first time working with Dominque. So, we used yesterday's walk to help my fur babies warm up to her in preparation for an upcoming house sitting job next month. My dogs are near 100 each and get real excited when they see other dogs. She did GREAT handling each dog...adopting to their personality, pace, and curiosity. My boys took to her instantly. This brought peace to my heart watching her interact with them so masterfully yet lovingly. I am sure glad we have Dominque to depend on to help with our pet needs!!! She is an answer to prayer!”
“I was fortunate that Ellyn was available on short notice to take my dog Gretel on her midday walk while I attended a funeral out of the area. Ellyn is incredibly trustworthy, responsible and super sweet with Gretel. I can tell because when I got home Gretel was well-balanced and the right amount of energy to know she had a really great walk! Highly recommend Ellyn. I will book her again.”

“Jacob was great with our dogs! He was communicative, reliable, and very sweet with both of them. They can definitely be a handful around other dogs, and I really appreciated his patience and honesty about how the walk went. He took great care of them and kept me updated throughout. I would definitely recommend Jacob to other pet parents!”
“Brittney to the rescue! She was super accommodating to us being first time Rovers. She communicates very thoroughly and thoughtfully. Our little doggo was super happy to have her come take him for a quick walk, pee, & poop. Thank Brittney for taking care of our pets so well. We can tell you really love animals of all types.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and I don’t rush visits—I take the time to truly connect. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and pets who need a little extra reassurance. I follow routines closely, keep communication open, and always put your pet’s safety and comfort first. My goal is to make your time away completely stress-free. I’m currently working remote part time, so excited to spend my time with dogs outdoors. Throughout the week, I plan my schedule around drop-ins and walks so each pet gets consistent, reliable care. I treat every visit as quality time, not just a task, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and seen. Pet care keeps me active, grounded, and genuinely brings joy into my day. In your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow your instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, playtime, potty breaks, and any training cues you use. I keep the home secure, respect your space, and always leave everything clean and in order.
“Grace has been walking my two hyper and (sometimes) reactive dogs on hour long walks 1x per week. She’s been great with them, and they both warmed up to her so quickly! Grace is always prompt with communicating and her schedule timing. We will definitely be continuing to work with Grace and I’d recommend her to others, too. Thank you, Grace!”
“Highly recommend Donna! My older dog just loves her. She has calming energy and is patient. Great communicator and takes special care of my pup. Grateful she became our weekly dog walker!”

About: Hello! My name is Cecelia and I am so excited to get to know you and your pet! Growing up, I have always had a dog in my house and all of my extended family members have pets as well. I love going to parks and finding exciting and fun places. I love taking walks and am able to handle any sized pet. I have my own transportation so errands are not a problem. When not at work, my schedule is very flexible and I am a very easy going person. I work in biotech M-F and have weekends off. I will always send pics of your fur baby and as many updates as you’d like! I have a mini goldendoodle (30lbs) named Ollie who is such a love bug and gets along with any sized dog. Cant wait to meet your fur baby :) M-F I work in office for about 9 hours a day and am home no later than 4pm most days. When home, I love to take my dog on walks around the neighborhood or take him to a park. On the weekends, I bring my dog to get coffee with me and we take a walk on the beach. I love being as active as I can with my dog and would love for your pet to join us! I provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment with plenty of exercise, attention, and supervision. I live in a dog-friendly condo community directly across from a park, so dogs enjoy regular walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time throughout the day. We also take neighborhood walks on the many nearby sidewalks, and sometimes stroll through One Paseo for new sights and smells (with owner approval). On weekends, I’m typically home, so pets receive lots of companionship and aren’t left alone for long periods. When I do run errands, I often bring dogs along if we’re visiting pet-friendly places. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their routine as close to home as possible.
“Over the past year, Trey has proven himself as a very reliable and capable dog walker. He communicates very well and gives me updates without my having to ask. My two large dogs look forward to his visits and I know they are safe with him.”
About: Ive been around dogs my whole life and love being active with them. I’ve helped take care of family pets as well as neighbors’ dogs—walking, feeding, and giving them the attention they need. I’m very responsible, easy to communicate with, and I’ll make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick walk or some extra playtime, I’ll always go the extra mile. I’m a student-athlete with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets attention. I’m available most weekdays in the morning/evening and on weekends. Walks and playtime fit perfectly into my daily routine since I love staying active. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they always feel safe and cared for. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and respectful of your home. Whether it’s following feeding instructions, giving them plenty of playtime, or making sure they’re comfy on walks, I’ll provide a reliable and loving environment.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12. We got our first puppy a few years ago, so I have also learned how to handle the little ones. My friends and neighbors have relied on me when they are gone to walk, feed, and play with their pups while they are away. During college I have been missing my pups, so I would be happy to help care for yours! I am currently out of school for the summer so my schedule is pretty open. I am working at a restaurant this summer, mostly nights, but that schedule changes each week. Other than random appointments or obligations, I love to hang out with furry friends! I am happy to follow any schedules or rules that help create structure for your pup. As a walker, I do my best to encourage and maintain any leash training and other commands. If you are looking for a house sitter, I'd love to talk more about what your preferences are.

I have experience with dogs of all ages- puppies to seniors. I will treat your pup like my own and provide customized care to make sure they feel spoiled and loved during their stay. I am working on getting my masters degree in behavioral analysis online and not currently working a job so I will be home with the dogs all day. I have a fenced in yard and also commit to walking my dog daily. I can bring the dogs on many adventures such as hikes, parks, dog beach, etc if the family desires or feels comfortable with that.
“Olivia and Sebastien were awesome caregivers for our dog, Koa! I found them last minute, after our usual sitters were unavailable to help with boarding for an out of town trip. They made the time for a quick meet and greet with their dog, Zuko which was appreciated. During our trip, I got photos and videos to reassure me that Koa was doing ok. I would absolutely welcome their help again in the future!”
“Maple enjoy her stay with Elizabeth and I got pictures at least twice a day of her walks and little excursions. Elizabeth was flexible, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond to texts. We would book with her again.”
“Contacted Linda to watch Hazel for 10 days while we were out of the country. I had complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be in good hands after meeting Linda and her dog (Sammie). Was given updates while I was gone and was extremely satisfied and would recccomend her services to friends and family looking to board their dog.”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid! I have volunteered for my local animal shelter and have experience fostering puppies and animals recovering from surgeries! My house is filled with love by my two cats and dog, all rescued! <3 I work from home full time, with a dedicated office space with plenty of dog beds, and a fenced in bark yard. I go on about a 2-mile walk a day with my pupper, Irwin, and am usually home the rest of the day! On the weekends we might be gone from 3-4 hours at times! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog who absolutely lovesssss friends. I am very flexible and can make whatever schedule you need work.
“Priscila was excellent at ensuring my Lana had a great experience. From her outdoor activities, beach day, and play time it all contributed to Lana having a Great time. Priscila was awesome at providing pictures and video to update how my dog was doing. Thank you 👍”
“We love Alix ! Oliver has been coming here for 3 years now. He gets so much love and attention and sometimes even gets to be with other dogs which is great socially! Thank you for taking such great care. Your passion for animals is apparent !”
“My large and boisterous guy came home tired and happy after boarding for a short stay at Patricia’s. I appreciate that she had him out for long walks and had other dogs for him to play with.”
“Kris and family are incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming, and made our dogs immediately comfortable in their home. She was very easy to communicate with keeping me up-to-date with messages and photos during their stay. We are happy we found a safe staycation for our dogs when we are away.”
About: I've always loved dogs and we miss having a dog around. I've had a dog for many years and also volunteered at a shelter. We recently lost our dog at 13 years of age and though we are not ready to commit to getting another one we would love to take care of yours. We have a big fenced in yard so lots of land to roam and I love to go on walks so there will be plenty of exercise if your dog enjoys it. I am mostly home and will give your dog lots of attention. I do have 2 daughters aged 7 and 10 who also love dogs and will help out, but that means I can only take on dogs who are good around children. I only take on 1 persons/families dog/dogs at a time. I'm home most of the day apart from picking up/ dropping off my children and a few other commitments during the week, but wouldn't be away from home for more than 3 hours. I have a large fenced in yard and no other pets in the house. It's me, my husband and 2 children. I will base my care upon what your dog is used to and needs to make transitions as easy as possible.
“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”
“Brooke went above and beyond for our pups over the holidays! We feel so lucky to have found her. We have two senior dogs that typically are sat at our house, but had to find somewhere else for them to stay this year and Brooke made them feel right at home. They loved staying with her. She also sent a ton of photos and videos which we appreciated so much. Could not recommend her more!!”
“Gina was great, communicated what was going on with my dog and made sure I was always informed. My dog seamed happy to be in her care. I’d trust her with my dog any day.”
