Pet Sitting West University Heights

About: Hi there! My name’s Katherine and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover. I was recently laid off from my corporate 9-5 job and while I search for a new role, I’m looking for an enjoyable side gig. I live in an apartment complex in North Park close to Balboa Park, downtown North Park and plenty of dog parks. While I don’t own pets of my own, I am excited about the opportunity to interact with your fur baby! I’ve been dog sitting and dog walking for family and friends for years and I also am an active volunteer for the San Diego Humane Society’s Dog Day Out program. Feel free to reach out anytime! :) I’m currently searching for a new job after I was affected by my company layoffs so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. It would help to schedule about a week out just to account for potential job interviews and/or networking calls. Your pets’ safety is the most important and I aim to create a stress free and safe experience. Depending on your dog’s needs, I can cater length of walks and activity intensity levels.

“Our pups loved Phillip the moment they met him. He stopped by and did a meet and greet, which was very comforting. One could tell he also enjoys being around dogs. He kept us updated daily and even collected our mail and packages. We left him a letter regarding caring for the pups and he followed every step. On the last day he spent a few minutes with us and the dogs and you could tell they were happy to see him. Will definitely use him again.”

About: Hi, I’m Illary! I’m a dog mom to two pups of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone reliable, patient, and caring to look after your pet. I have experience with different dog personalities and routines, including administering medication, following feeding instructions, and caring for dogs who may be shy, anxious, senior, or need extra support. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for during every walk or visit. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I work remotely on East Coast hours, so I’m usually free after 2 PM during the week to help care for your fur baby. Whether they need a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, medication, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help make sure they’re cared for and comfortable. I’m also open to weekend availability depending on the need. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits only. I’ll follow instructions, keep pets safe, secure your home, provide updates/photos, and respect your space and routine.

“Leilani did some drop-ins for our dog Moxie as we were away for the evening for a special event. I loved the reports we got from her with updates and our dog loved her at the meet and great! Will definitely be rebooking.”

Jalisa H.

“Marcie did a fantastic job looking after our cats and went far above and beyond taking care of them when one of them got sick after we'd left the country. She took Huey to the vet twice, administered medication, isolated him as needed while keeping him company, while making sure Slinky was well looked after as well. The boys love her as do we, and we hope to work with her again soon!”

Petteri K.

“Evenly is great with Rosie. Rosie is so calm around her and comfortable cuddle up with her. She sent check in every hour. Definitely will rebook in the future if needed.”

Pallas D.

“Amy was great! She came over to help us practice polite greetings with our adolescent dog. She was communicative, on time, and great with our high energy pup. Would recommend!”

Carly H.

“Kayla was great she was able to walk my stubborn little pup and was very communicative!”

About: I’ve had a dog in my home since I was 3. I’ve taken care of pups at all ages and all stages, I will love yours like I love mine. I believe they all deserve the best in life! I work from home so with them all day and close to a park for plenty of walks and outside time. I also have a dog who loves having guests and friends visit! I have a fairly spacious apartment and allow dogs to be on furniture and sleep with me and my pup. If you prefer crate I can accolade that as well!

About: I have taken care of many different animals, dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles. I am very clean and careful. I spend intentional time with the animals and love on them as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time as a nanny, some days I don’t work at all and on those days I have lots of time to take care of your fur babies! I will spend lots of time with your babies. I will take them on walks, bathe them if necessary, give them their food, and spend lots of quality time with them. I will care for them as my own.

About: I’ve helped out friends with their dogs and cats for many years. My favorite part of visiting friends’ houses is when I also get to hang out with their dog(s)! I follow direction well, so let me know what your pets’ needs are. I’ve had a cat for over 13 years and understand how important it is to take care of a pet’s health and follow a routine. I am taking a break from full-time white-collar work and have quite a bit of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for pet-sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. When I go out of town I leave very clear instructions to my pet sitters in hopes they will respect my guidance. Similarly, I will defer to your directions and wishes regarding your pet. I’m very communicative and will ask for clarification as needed.
