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.

“I had a wonderful experience with Danielle, and will definitely trust her with my cats in the future. She is responsive, kind, and took care to go above and beyond the instructions I left. I loved the pictures that she took, and could tell that she made the visits count by giving the cats attention as well as taking care of the feeding/scooping. Thank you, Danielle!”

“Second time Sarah does drop-ins with my dog and I continue to be thrilled. Love her communication, card updates, pics, and videos on every visit. Makes me feel 100% comfortable that my pup is well cared for even when I’m thousands of miles away for work, and the updates bring a smile to my face. Can’t wait to book Sarah again soon!”

“Clarisse has really been amazing! She is so sweet and caring with my dog and he loves to see her. She always sends great photos and updates every time. She looks after my dog every week and has set the bar so high for all other pet sitters. I can’t imagine anyone else watching my pets!”

“Mariela took such good care of my two cats! She sent me update pictures and a great description of how the visit went each time. My VERY shy cat enjoyed her so much, Mariela even got some pets in! I had full peace of mind while away- and that’s priceless!”

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.

“Evelyn is amazing!! She makes sure our dogs get quality play and takes the best pictures of them during her visits. It’s always a treat to see and hear how they did. She’s communicative, reliable, and the pups love her!!”

“Marcie was incredibly helpful while caring for my girls. She sent a ton of photo updates and really went above and beyond to help out. I appreciate her level of care and would 100% use her services again. Thank you, Marcie!”

Adrianna R.

“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!”

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.

“Leia is awesome! She was super accommodating of myself and my schedule from meeting with my pup Percy prior to working with him & key drop-off. She was kind, attentive and patient with Percy on his walk, even carrying him when he started to overheat! It was so reassuring to know Percy was in such good, caring hands while we were away. Thank you so much Leia for looking after Percy like he was your own. I’d highly recommend Leia for any dog-walking/sitting needs.”

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.
