“Elizaveta was wonderful with our dog! She is warm, genuinely loves dogs, and was very flexible with scheduling. We especially appreciated the daily photos and videos she sent. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Alexis took great care of Charlie during boarding. She provided updates and photos during the stay. Her backyard is a pups dream. I’m sure Charlie would give two thumbs up if she has them.”
“What a wonderful stay for our 2 dogs! Karine and her husband were truly amazing hosts. They took wonderful care of our two small dogs. Karine shared regular updates and photos that reassured us of the excellent care they were delivering. Could not recommend more highly!”
“Nina is very caring and took a good care of my little girl who unfortunately had been in diarrhea when I dropped her off. We also scheduled a greet and meet before the booking to make sure it would be a right fit. She sent me pics everyday of my pup and how she interacted with the family, which was so sweet. Thanks Nina!”
“Rob was fantastic!! We left our fur baby Teddy with Rob while we traveled and he took excellent care of him! Lots of photos and updates to keep my mind at ease. Would 100% recommend Rob and we will definitely use him again!”
“We trusted Rafaelina with our Shih Tzu Skoshi for a week while traveling quite far away. Communication was great, everything went smoothly, and Skoshi was in good spirits. Even cleaned all the bowls--great attention to detail. Thank you very much!”
“Michelle and Luz always take such good care of our pup! She loves spending time with them when we travel out of town. We get lots of pictures and come home to a happy dog!”
“Saiad was a trustworthy and reliable sitter during Max's stay. Max can be an insecure dog, but Saiad made sure he felt comfortable and well cared for throughout his visit. He followed all of our instructions, accommodated a meet-and-greet beforehand, and made sure Max had a great time playing fetch and enjoying his stay. Would love to book with him again!”
“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”
“Doreen was amazing with Toby. She communicated so well and made this experience so seamless. We will definitely reach out to Doreen in the future to care for our dog.”
“Emma took great care of my dog Buddy! She kept us updating by sending pictures and messages to check in! She was great at responding and looks like Buddy had a great time. Would definitely book again!”
“Rene always takes great care of Cory. She noticed that he was itchy and has some skin irritation so asked if he could have some Benadryl, and always sends pics and videos of him playing and having a great time.”
“Scooter had the BEST holiday week with Tabitha and her family. It’s nerve-racking leaving your dog somewhere new for the first time, especially for a full week. We got so many picture updates of scooter having a blast and playing throughout the week and he even made a new doggie friend which can be hit or miss for him. We will happily send him to her family again anytime they are up for hosting. Highly recommend!!”
“Juan took great care of my puppy! I was very nervous to leave her for the first time for the weekend, but she did great. Juan provided updates and my puppy seemed to be happy and tired when I picked her up! I think she loved being with Juan’s dog, and the large back yard to play. I highly recommend Juan.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Anat. Our dog was treated like one of the family. It’s clear that she has a true passion for dogs, and the fact that she has her own dog made us feel so confident. We also appreciated all the updates - it was clear Max was having a great time!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 17 years. Besides raising my own dogs, I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs for stays ranging from one week to two months. My Goldendoodle loves making new dog friends, and many of our guests have become his best buddies. I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time to care for dogs throughout the day. They get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, and are rarely left alone. I have fenced yard where my dog loves to play fetch. I usually let my dog out around 8am to play until 9am. All the dogs are welcome to join to play together!
“Had a great doggy daycare visit with Laura this week! Her attention to detail and genuine love of dogs is what has us coming back again. I loved her desire to really get to know my dog and make accommodation for Lola's little quirks and upside-down scheduling. Thanks Laura (and Chris too) for giving us a new safe haven for Lola!!”
“Ashley and her family did such an amazing job taking care of my 2 year old schnoodle. She welcomed me in and gave me a brief tour and low down of her cozy and immaculate home and yard, and made sure any questions or concerns I have were addressed. She kept open communication with me through the app, and I felt he was in great, safe hands until I picked him up nearly 10 hours later. He took a few walks along with their dog, and had a great time and made new friends. Hope to use them again soon!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was six years old, growing up with pets back home in Guatemala. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, playful, and shy—and I’ve gained experience with everything from daily walks to giving medication. I currently don’t have pets of my own, which means I can give your dog my full attention. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, love, and regular photo and video updates. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment and I’m home all the time, so overnight care is never a problem. I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home! I work part-time in the mornings and am free the rest of the day, and I’m available to board your dog anytime that works for you. Since I work nearby, I can easily accommodate your schedule for drop-offs and pick-ups. I spend most of my time at home, giving plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks—it’s a great way for them to get exercise and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love being active with animals and making sure they feel happy and loved all day long. I live in a calm, pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My home is free of harmful plants and other hazards, I always keep the space clean and comfortable. I have a big yard where I can walk and play with your dog throughout the day, giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs so they feel right at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m happy to follow any routines that help them feel secure. I know trust matters, so I always keep pet parents updated with photos, videos, and clear communication.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes. I also foster dogs for a local humane society in La Mesa. I love doggy cuddles, long walks, anything to make a pup smile makes me smile.

“Craig was great. He took my both my labs on a a walk for a few days on short notice. One of my dogs was a little under the weather and Craig was attentive to his needs. Craig communicated and showed the highest level of professionalism and positivity. I would highly recommend Craig.”
“Kerry is a gem!! My senior dog needs lots of TLC and patience (he's lost most of his vision and hearing, has trouble with stairs and occasionally gets confused), so I was nervous about bringing in someone to walk him. Kerry immediately put my fears to rest -- asked all the right questions, was wonderful with my dog, and communicated well and often during the visit. I won't hesitate to have him visit again and am relieved I found him.”
“Abhi was AMAZING! My dog and cat both loved him and he was so thorough and obviously has a deep level of care and love for animals. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“Andrew is awesome and has been a huge help with our dog Tuck and is always accommodative of our crazy schedule. He’s reliable, dependable, and our dog (who is sometimes difficult) is always happy to see him.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life. I grew up with three dogs starting when I was 12, so I have experience with everything from managing puppy energy to giving older dogs the patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’ve also helped friends and family with their dogs over the years, whether that meant walks, drop-ins, or caring for them while they were away. This is the first time since childhood that I’m living without dogs, and I’d love the chance to help care for yours like they’re my own. I work full-time during the week, so weekends are the best fit for me right now. That’s when I have the most flexibility and can give dogs more of my time and attention without feeling rushed. I live in a house with a front and backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to relax, play, and get fresh air. There are also several parks nearby, so walks and outdoor time are easy to work into the day. I know every dog is different, so I’ll make sure to follow their normal routine and keep them comfortable, safe, and cared for like they’re my own.
“Lorenzo did an amazing job walking our baby! Latte doesn’t need much: just a little walk to pee and poop and then he’s ready to head back in. He did just that and it was a great help as I work a hybrid schedule so I’m unable to walk Latte when I’m in office. Having someone come over while we’re out of the house and tend to our baby’s schedule is just something we need, especially with such a trustworthy dog handler! Latte was very amicable with Lorenzo, so this is definitely a great start to something new.”
About: I have had experience with dogs of all breeds since I was 16 years old when I worked as a kennel tech! I was also a volunteer at the Human Society and mostly worked in the cat room - spending time and cuddles and cleaning their living area. I know that the care of your pet is the most important thing to feel secure about when going on vacation or out of town. In addition to years of care sitting for both cats and dogs, I volunteered in South Africa and cared for baby baboons! I know your pet is unique and I will follow all instructions given to ensure your peace of mind, your pet’s safety, and will send pictures daily! I transitioned from the corporate world to and now do this full time, so I am flexible and available at all times to keep your pet’s schedule on track! I care and respect your home just as much as I love animals. If I am in your home, I will follow all instructions as given and am happy to send as many pictures as you request during my stay. This is my full time job so making sure your pets stay on schedule is my priority! It can be overwhelming when owners leave, so maintaining their routines helps ease everyone’s anxiety! I respect your home as if it were my own! I ensure to keep areas clean and respect all areas of the house! I am also happy to do light tasks such as watering plants and brining in your mail. :)
