“Derya K. was excellent with our Cockapoo who stayed at her house. She played with our pup, walked him, and gave him his dinner. She sent lots of photos and videos so I could see that he was having a good time.”

“My pup appeared happy to be with Alvin and was well taken cared of. Alvin also went above and beyond when i requested to board on a short notice. He’s also very pleasant and made my anxious boy at ease. I will definitely book him again in the future!”

“Melanie did a wonderful job watching my pup. She gave consistent updates and my pup was relaxed and appeared to be well rested when I picked her up which is the best thing I can ask for … I would definitely rebook Melanie!”

“Jennifer was great with Poppy! She sent alot of pictures and updates, and Poppy came home exhausted! Would definitely use Jennifer again if I’m in the San Diego area. :)”

About: A lifelong dog lover with years of experience, especially caring for senior pups. While I specialize in small dogs, I also enjoy looking after cats and medium breeds. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. I primarily care for small-breed dogs and always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention and care by keeping my home clutter free and boarding one pet at a time.
“Andre was great! Booked him on short notice, felt so comfortable leaving my boys with him. Our Adonis is recovering from surgery and he accommodated to his needs. Will definitely use his service again!”

“I'm so happy I found Brannon on here. He's so kind and caring, and my little guy gets excited when he sees him. I can tell Brannon truly loves and cares about animals and gives them the love and attention they deserve. I highly recommend him!”

About: As a fellow dog parent, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog. I care for every pup like they’re my own! With patience, love, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your dog is full of energy or just wants some company, I adapt to their needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily accommodate dog walking, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the day. Since I already care for my own dog, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine: walks, playtime, and attention are built into my day! When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and happy. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of cuddles, making sure each dog’s needs and routines are followed closely. Since I have my own dog, your pet will also get social time and companionship. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your dog’s usual schedule for feeding, walking, and play. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for even when you’re away.
“Shaghayegh is absolutely fantastic! She treated my dog, like one of her own, sending regular updates with photos and always making sure he was well-exercised and happy. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving care, and will definitely be using her again for future pet sitting needs.”

About: Your pet is family and I treat them that way. I've spent 10+ years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs, including seniors, special needs pups, and pets requiring oral or injected medication. I take that responsibility seriously and follow your routines to the letter. I'm based in San Diego and love exploring everything this city has to offer like beach walks, neighborhood trails, and Balboa Park, and your dog gets to come along for all of it. Since I have no pets of my own, your animal gets my complete, undivided attention from the moment they arrive. Whether your pup needs extra patience, medical care, or just someone who will love them like you do, I've got them covered! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I have dedicated availability throughout the week and structure my days around making sure every animal in my care gets consistent attention, timely walks, and plenty of love. I am not juggling a busy office schedule or rushing home after a long commute. When your pet is with me, they are my priority and my day is built around them. I follow your instructions exactly. Please send over your pet's routine, any medical needs, feeding schedule, and quirks and I will stick to it. I am experienced with medication administration both oral and injected, and comfortable with dogs who need extra care or patience. Your peace of mind matters as much as your pet's happiness.
“It’s never easy leaving your fur baby with someone unfamiliar but after meeting Dave and Astro, I could immediately tell he was as much of a dog lover as me. Each time I picked up my pup, he was happy as a clam and could tell the level of love and care he received was commensurate to what I’d give him. If you are even remotely hesitant to leave the care of your pet with someone else, look no further than Dave. Your pup will be in excellent hands!”

“Hooli had a great doggy day care with Shane and Chris! It was our first time leaving our 7.5month old puppy and I could tell she was in good hands. We received lots of photos and updates which put mind at ease!”

Courtney is professional, kind and very easy to work with. She communicated well and took great care of my pup. Millie was so excited to see her and her dog the second day she came that she sprinted out of my car to her yard. I'd definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future.

Lisa did a great job entertaining my dog while I was at work over a weekend! My dog was walked, got to play fetch in Lisa’s backyard, and visited a neighbor with a friendly dog and big backyard as well. My dog had company at all times and wasn’t left alone, which is her dream!! I got picture updates throughout the day. I also appreciate that Lisa was available for me to drop my dog off before 7 am- Navy duty starts earlier than most sitters or commercial daycares are open!

I reached out on short notice needing a sitter for my Belgian Malinois mix and honestly wasn’t sure who’d be up for it, mals are a lot. High energy, smart, need real exercise and mental stimulation or they get destructive/anxious. Derya didn’t just tolerate that, they clearly got it. My dog came home tired in the best way and completely unstressed, which tells me they were actually engaged and working with her energy instead of just containing it. She also sent photos and videos constantly throughout the visit, I always knew exactly what she was up to and could tell she was genuinely having a good time, not just being watched. That kind of communication is huge, especially when you’re booking last minute and a little anxious about leaving a dog like this with someone new. On top of that, they pulled it together on very short notice without missing a beat communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with working breed temperaments, not just easy lapdogs. If you’ve got a dog that’s “too much” for the average sitter, this is who you want. Already planning to book again

Booked a mix of daycare and boarding during our short getaway to San Diego and Michael was super accommodating and flexible. He's easy to reach and communicate within the Rover message app. Michael provides so many updates with pictures that kept our mind at ease as we enjoyed ourselves in town. Our dog Evie enjoyed such a relaxing vacation herself full of cuddles, playtime and treats! Thank you so much Michael!

I loved Sandra! She loved my dog Chico as if he was her own, she sent me so many pictures and videos keeping me updated it was amazing. She took him on multiple walks and they kept each other company. He definitely enjoyed his entire day with Sandra. 10/10 Definitely Recommend!!!

Erin was great! Our dog, was immediately comfortable with her. Erin followed all of our instructions and her questions demonstrated that she was experienced caring for a variety of dogs and truly wanted to give the best possible care. She was flexible about pick up/drop off times and sent us pictures and updates throughout our fur baby's daycare time. Erin will be our first choice the next time we need a dog sitter in San Diego!
