About: For years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their beloved fur babies. Providing them with love, comfort, and dependable care while they are away. My flexible schedule makes it easy to work around your pet’s care needs. Whether it’s short- or long-term, I’m happy to do overnights so your furry friend can stay safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their own home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I follow routines closely, keep their space clean, and provide loving, attentive care. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I always making sure they feel safe, secure, and happy in their familiar environment. Communication is key, so I keep owners updated with check-ins and photos for peace of mind.

About: I have always loved pets and that is what brought me to adopt multiple animals, including senior pets with medical needs. I have done numerous animal volunteer events (currently a volunteer with Rescue House) and continue to look for ways to be around more animals. I’m a very patient and kind owner, who understands pets are pets! They should be treated with love and given the attention they need. I can offer walks for more active pets or quick potty breaks for the older crowd. I’m very open to all kinds of pets and needs. During the week I work in supply chain with a hybrid schedule. I’m home all day on weekends and during the weekdays I’m home completely Mondays and Fridays with a flexible office schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences—whether that means daily walks, specific feeding schedules, medication needs, or favorite toys. I prioritize keeping their environment clean, calm, and enriching, and I always give lots of attention and affection to help them feel secure while you’re away. Communication is key, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and any questions that may come up.

About: I have taken care of my dog since I was in college, living with my brother. My brother has relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe the dog while he’s at work. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your puppies! My schedule is flexible for any kinds of services from Monday to Sunday. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby company. I also can play the ball with your puppies and have some treats if needed.

About: Growing up in the country, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahua's to larger, and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit-bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their exercise routines, feeding habits, and personality quirks. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. I have demonstrated and learned all these factors through the San Diego Humane Society and my Dad (dog trainer). Rounded up I have five years of experience with various sizes and breeds, making knowledge, communication, and compassion key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all types of dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior challenged dogs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the animals in my care. As a graduated student, I have the freedom to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I schedule feeding times, walks, and play sessions around my coursework, giving each pet the structure they need while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. Having free weekends also allows me to dedicate more time to pets, who need consistent attention or engagement. I use my time for exercise, mental stimulation, or grooming, depending on the pet’s needs. My focus on time management ensures that pets are always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into my routine. Whether it’s providing a calm and nurturing environment during the week or engaging in more active care on weekends, I ensure that pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, allowing me to meet the needs of every animal I care for. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment that fosters trust and well-being. Safety is my top priority, which includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, removing hazardous items, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses and supervise them closely to protect them from potential dangers like traffic. Building trust with pets is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, creating a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, spending quality time playing, or offering soothing companionship during quiet moments, I ensure they feel valued and cared for. The environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and follow their care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for the pet. Ultimately, my approach combines attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.

“Vanessa took great care of our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. She sent updates and communicated as needed, including expressing concern that the house was too warm for our kitty. We also had an ant invasion while we were gone, but Vanessa took initiative to clean them up and put out our ant traps. I wouldn't hesitate to have her sit for us again!”


About: Hi! My name is Angel, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent my life around all kinds—dogs, cats, and more—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. I love dogs of all sizes, from tiny teacups to gentle giants like Great Danes! I also have a soft spot for pups who may be a little anxious or shy; I’m calm, patient, and always happy to give them the extra care and comfort they need. Whether it’s a walk, playtime in the yard, or just some quality companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help in whatever way makes you and your pet feel most comfortable. I treat every animal like family and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Pet sitting and dog walking fit perfectly into my schedule, as I currently work part-time and have plenty of flexibility during the day, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve, whether it’s a midday walk, a play session, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’m committed to being reliable and consistent, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. When caring for pets in your home or taking them on walks, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn and follow any specific routines or preferences you share—whether that’s feeding instructions, favorite toys, walking routes, or how they like to be comforted. I’m mindful of each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. On walks, I make sure they’re secure with their leash or harness at all times, avoid any unsafe areas, and never rush them. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and never alone for too long. Communication is important to me, so I’m always happy to send updates, photos, and will check in with you if there are any questions so your pet gets the best care possible.

“Overall, Bianca did a good job dropping in to take care of my cats. Lots of updates and photos which were nice. There were a couple of things I noticed though for future clients to be aware of: 1. She brought two young children with her to the drop-in visits which was not discussed with me prior to the booking or visits. Thankfully, my pets are okay with kids but I know that is not always the case with pets and there are properties that may not be considered “kid friendly”. 2. The drop-in visit care instructions requested the cat litter boxes be cleaned at least once a day. This was not done on 2 of the days we had booked because they “didn’t look bad”. I don’t believe care instructions should be open to Rover sitter interpretation unless specifically stated by the client.”
