Personalized care for your dog or cat - Santee
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Santee
“Sienna, James, their family, and their sweet pup Sully were absolutely amazing with our little Parker! They treated him just like one of their own and made me feel completely at ease while he was in their care. Sienna sent me pictures all the time so I could see how well my baby was doing, which meant so much to me. It’s clear they truly love animals and go above and beyond to make them feel at home. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet care. We’ll definitely be using them again! 💕🐾”
“Martina took such good care of my fur baby, Murray. Her communication was excellent, she regularly sent me pictures and updates. Murray had some separation anxiety and I did come pick him up a day early. But he was sad to leave and started whining when I put my car in reverse to back out of the driveway. We accidentally left behind his water bowl and a toy, when we returned to pick up our forgotten items he ran out of my car, up onto the porch and sat at Martina's front door. He loved staying with Martina and playing with her son”
“We had such a wonderful experience with our dog sitters! From the moment we dropped Zoey off, we knew she was in great hands. They kept us updated, made her feel right at home, and treated her like part of the family. Zoey had an amazing time playing, getting attention, and being so well cared for while we were away. It gave my wife and me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and comfortable. We could tell they genuinely love animals and go above and beyond for the dogs they watch. We will absolutely be using their services again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitters!”
“Tracy and her family incorporated Cocoa, my dog, into their household: she had three other dogs to play with in a fenced yard, and she interacted with the family inside the house. Tracy sent a photo or video most days, usually showing Cocoa snuggled on the couch or with a family member. All together, by far a much better experience for Cocoa than staying in a kennel! I recommend Tracy for boarding your dog! I hope she can board mine again some time.”

“Kirsten is a great pet sitter. We have 5 cats and she fed, provided fresh water, and cleaned out several litter boxes for 4 days for them. I appreciated her willingness to help me with this job. Kirsten sent plenty of pictures and my kitties like her. She did an excellent job.”
“I had Claire house sit. She spoiled my cats rotten while I was away and took care of my house plants and goldfish pond. She said they call her the "cat whisperer" and I believe her...even the cat who never goes near strangers was sitting in her lap. She kept in touch while I traveled and sent lots of pictures of the cats getting plenty of love and care.”
“Bill was able to take care of our adopted outdoor kitty when we had to leave suddenly to go out of town. It was reassuring to know that Lloyd wasn't going hungry. He made sure the water dish was clean, too.”
About: I have been walking dogs since I was 12 years old. I have also been dog sitting since I was in high school. I have dog sat for friends, family, employers, and specifically dog sitting clients. I have experience spending overnights in the owner’s homes caring for their beloved pets, including feeding and bathing dogs. I also have experience fostering puppies, which I do for a local animal shelter. I also have owned dogs for most of my life and enjoy spending time with them. I currently work full-time, but I will have plenty of time on the weekends for boarding, walking, playing, and caring for your loving animals. I am also open to doing weekdays/nights if your pets are house trained for me to be able attend work. This would include long morning walks before and after my workday. I have a fenced in yard and I also have two of my own friendly dogs that could keep your pet comfortable, or if you would prefer my dogs can go to their grandmothers and your dog can have the house to themselves. I have a “dog room” set up in my house, which includes protective flooring for accidental messes, a dog friendly couch, and camera monitoring system. It is also gated. I also have the ability to crate your loving pet if needed. I have an xl crate, so you wouldn’t need to bring one. In a client’s home, I am very respectful of your space and always clean up after myself. You will often return home with washed linens and tidied space. I will abide by any rules you set and am always easily able to get in touch with during my stay in your home. I provide daily photo/video updates of your fur baby.
About: I have had cats all my life. I love caring for them and watching them warm up to new people. They don't trust easy like dogs so winning over a cat's affections is always heartwarming. I have experience with giving medication, cleaning litter boxes and more.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Santee
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim and her husband Mickey. They responded immediately and was so helpful and friendly. Even worked with my unknown hours. They cared for my 7 month old puppy Luke he was a KING! They had great, well behaved dogs that he loved and played with non stop. They always lake them to sog parks and my puppy is exausted when we get home which is wonderful because so are we. I am so blessed to have met them and their sweetness for my puppy and helping us find places to eat or see around the new town. Thor ( our puppy) now knows when we go towards their place and races up to their door. Mickey loves the animals as much or maybe more than Kim which is incredible they both adore animals so much. Kim is so helpful and always willing to accommodate any need. I wouldn't use anyone else!!!!”
About: We have many animals at our home, we have two labs, 2 cats and 14 chickens. We’ve had a senior dachshund, senior lab and senior cat before so we are all well versed in the care of different animals at different stages. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am able to make our schedule whatever it needs to be to properly care for your animals while you are away. We have a yard with privacy fence so animals can run freely in the yard. We have a two year old lab that does wonderfully with other dogs and would love to be your pets playmate. We have a kennel if need be and are comfortable allowing animals to sleep outside of the kennel as well if that is their preference.
“This was my first Rover experience and I'm so happy I booked with Tracy! My fur baby, Theo, seemed to be well taken care of all day and very entertained. He was tired and content when we came to get him at the end of the day. I couldn't have asked for better! He got to run around outside with her dogs, play, and also some downtime to snuggle. We will see them again, for sure!”

“Brianna is very attentive to taking and sharing pictures of her walks with my girl, Selphie. Selphie is more of a sniffer and roller than a walker, and Brianne lets her go at her own pace and roll in the grass as she pleases!”
About: Whether it's is the care of horses, cats, dogs, and other furry friends I've always loved the opportunity to be around them. Now I have an opportunity to do this full-time. I can offer the care and dignity animals deserve. I own my own home and I have plenty of space for for your K9 friend. My yard is fenced offering a secure area for your pet to frolic. Nutrition is important for most animals and I will provide any special needs that your dog may have. I offer flexibility, security and the love for your pet on a daily basis. Whether it's a quick walk, overnight visit or a trip to the vet my goal is to make sure every animal it's the best deserves. Having been around animals all my life it's always been a pleasure to offer my services to people who need someone to care for them I offer care and kindness. I respect your home and strive to keep your home clean and safe for your pets. I have never received any negative feedback.
About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.
“Maria was great! Communicative, friendly, and reliable, good with dogs. Handled our large skittish but friendly dog very well for a productive walk (and they had never met!). Such a help when we were visiting from out of town but away for the evening. Thank you so much for the good communication and peace of mind.”
“Tristian, I don’t know how we survived without you before! We can’t thank you enough! Tristian took the best care of our two dogs over Thanksgiving! One of our dogs is a strong 80lb Pitbull on a special raw food diet and takes medication. He was so great with them and took pictures and stayed in communication with us the whole time. We will be using Tristian from now on whenever we can!”

About: Background/experience in veterinary medicine. I am very comfortable with giving medication, taking care of special needs/senior pets. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I currently own my own equine business which means I set my own hours. I am a very active person so including other animal duties into my daily life is not difficult. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.

About: Hey! I have experience as a veterinary professional with over 10 years of caring for pets, including emergency medicine. I’ve always had a burning passion to care for animals since I was young. I am experienced in giving medications and also providing lots of attention and love while you’re away. I have pets of my own and understand the love, care, and affection they need while you’re away and I know what it’s like to need someone special to take care of them. I enjoy being active so going on walks, playing tug-of-war, or even ball is not a problem. I love to keep pet parents updated with pictures and videos. I like to follow the same routines as you would for your furry family members to ensure they have a calm and comfortable experience. I will provide exceptional and experienced service for you and your furry friends so you can relax in knowing they are safe and comfortable:) We can always figure out a schedule that works for everyone! I am always trying to figure out what works best for everyone’s schedule, so if you have questions we can talk prior to booking. I do not board at my home. Typically to keep a nice stable and calm environment I encourage my clientele to allow me to stay at their home or periodically check in on their pets in their own home. I have found that over the years being in their own home is where pets are most comfortable and safe.
About: I’ve trained dogs to be crate trained, potty trained and leash trained. Haven't met many dogs who don't like me, especially after interacting with them more than once. Even the little chihuahuas that are ankle biters. Our doormat says "dogs welcome, people tolerated". Let me love your floofer, pupper, doggo or whichever term you use. Flexible career where I can make time to take care of your pups. Whenever I am needed or if they’re used to a specific schedule I can make happen. Treat your space and dogs as it’s my own. I am very tidy and keep my own space well kept. I go above and beyond.

They kept us updated, made her feel right at home, and treated her like part of the family. Zoey had an amazing time playing, getting attention, and being so well cared for while we were away.

We will absolutely be using their services again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitters!”
“Tracy and her family incorporated Cocoa, my dog, into their household: she had three other dogs to play with in a fenced yard, and she interacted with the family inside the house. Tracy sent a photo or video most days, usually showing Cocoa snuggled on the couch or with a family member. All together, by far a much better experience for Cocoa than staying in a kennel! I recommend Tracy for boarding your dog! I hope she can board mine again some time.”
