“Rhys was the first ever professional pet sitter I’ve ever hired, as I’ve been too afraid in the past to leave my pets with people who aren’t family. He was kind, professional, sent me daily pictures and updates and best of all my sweet girl LOVES him. Torta is usually very shy and cautious with people but warmed to him quickly. Rhys was flexible when I extended my trip as well and it was a huge relief knowing he was caring for her. I will be hiring him again (if he agrees to have us!!!)”

“Kaitie was fantastic! She sent pictures and updates of our fur babies! I felt so safe leaving my animals in Kaitie’s care. Luna & Sam enjoyed their daily visits! I will definitely book her again!”

“Steffen did an amazing job caring for my kitty girl. It was my first time leaving her with anyone other than family for more than a day, and I was "that" cat parent that left a list of just in case instructions. Steffen was kind & reassuring & followed them all to a T! I will definitely rebook if she'll have me!”

“Bailey is an exemplary animal lover and sitter. Excellent communication, timely, great photos. My dog was clearly loved and taken care of in my absence. Highest reccomendation⭐️”


About: Grew up around dogs and cats so I am very comfortable with both. I am very attentive and I always make sure my pets have everything they need. I love to go on walks so your dog will have plenty of exercise! I also understand that each dog/cat has their own special needs and I will do my absolute best to ensure that your dog is satisfied. I have a senior dog who can be wary of other dogs without proper intro, so I am happy to do an intro with her if you're okay with me bringing my dog to walks, or I'm also happy to just take your dog(s) by themselves! I currently work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule. I can stop by to check in on your pet whenever! I am also happy to stay in your home to pet sit, but I do have a senior dog and we would have to do a proper intro if that's the case. I do not have a yard or a big apartmemt space so I will just be doing home visits for check in/walks. When I am checking in, I will make sure to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels loved!

“Kayak is amazing. She took care of my 2 babies (kitties). She responds to inquiries immediately and took great care of my kids. I would definitely book again!”

“Shreeya is the best! I contacted her (last minute) due to an issue with another scheduled pet sitter and Shreeya came through for me and my pets and was able to help for drop in visits. She was punctual, kind, and made sure to send photos and give detailed reports after each drop in. My pets, Klay and Dala, also loved Shreeya and we’ll be sure to reach out again for our next booking😊”


“Sarah was amazing! She went above and beyond for my kitties. I feel like she really took the time to learn their personalities and quirks. She also gave detailed updates each visit which were much appreciated. Would definitely book again. :)”

“Jenya was so responsive, proactive about setting up a meet and greet and asked thoughtful questions in advance. When I got home my animals were happy as can be, thanks to her excellent care! She also took great, cute pics which helped when I was missing them! Highly recommend!”

“Phillip took wonderful care of my cat. He was communicative and provided nice updates about how my cat was doing throughout the week. My cat seemed content when I returned. The liter box was well maintained, and the apartment smelled clean.”


“Leilani was very professional and respectful of my cat and space! She did a great job and made sure to follow the daily instructions i left for her. I would reccomend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

“Kristin was great! I was initially hesitant about leaving my puppy with a stranger for drop offs but he immediately loved her and they seemed to have such a good time. I loved all the photos she sent of him!”


“Ginny [she goes by Frankie] did an outstanding job! Snoop Dog was so tired and worn out when I got home, she clearly gave him lots of love and attention! He is picky with people, but he warmed up to her right away. Will definitely book with Frankie again moving forward, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a diligent, detail-oriented pet sitter!”
About: I was raised with dogs from the moment I was born, and nothing gives me greater satisfaction than caring for and spending time with them. From my parents' dogs that I took through obedience schools and competitions to watching dogs for various friends and family members throughout the years, aged puppy to senior, and eventually adopting my own dog. Now that my partner and I work from home and have less demanding schedules, we are excited to be able to offer pet sitting services and bring more doggie time into our lives. I'm currently working only part-time and 100% from home, and my partner works mostly from home as well, so one or both of us are always here and available to spend time with dogs we are watching. We have a fenced yard and are home almost all of the time to care for dogs both during the day and evenings/overnight. We live in a very dog-friendly walkable neighborhood and love to go out for walks to break up our days and get some fresh air and exercise!

About: Aloha! I’m May, your go‑to dog sitter who treats every pup like family. Located right in Mission Valley off the 163 freeway (by Fashion Valley Mall) I’m based right here in San Diego with a cozy, dog‑friendly home, a fully gated yard, and — pup favorite alert — the trolley literally stops at my house, which means built‑in excitement, enrichment, and endless tail‑wagging entertainment. I specialize in young puppy dog care, senior dog care, and helping dogs feel safe, confident, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your pup needs structure, patience, medication reminders, or just someone who understands their quirks, I’ve got them covered. I’m also a proud dog mom to Von, my Dachshund‑Terrier mix with main‑character energy. Also, it's important to note Von is NOT fixed. He’s friendly, social, and loves having new buddies over for sleepovers. Your dog will enjoy a calm, happy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and supervised outdoor time. With me, your pup gets: 🐾 A safe, gated yard for zoomies 🌞 Daily walks + enrichment 🐶 Puppy training support 💛 Senior dog patience + comfort 📸 Photo updates so you never miss a moment 🏡 A warm, clean, loving home environment 🎉 Trolley‑watching adventures (trust me, dogs LOVE this) I’m here to make your dog feel at home, keep their routine steady, and give you total peace of mind. When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like royalty — because that’s exactly what they deserve. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home and have the flexibility to give each dog plenty of attention throughout the day. My home is spacious, calm, and fully fenced, so pups can safely explore, sunbathe, or play whenever they want. I take regular breaks to walk, train, or check in with the dogs, and I love incorporating enrichment into their day. The trolley even stops right at my home — a fun little highlight the dogs always get excited about. Because I’m home full‑time, your pup gets consistent supervision, affection, and a steady routine that keeps them happy and relaxed. Safety, trust, and comfort are the foundation of how I care for pets. Whether a dog stays in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, structured, and supervised environment where every pup feels secure. In my home: I have a spacious layout that allows dogs to relax, explore, and settle in without feeling overwhelmed. My yard is fully gated and secure, giving pups a safe space for outdoor time, sunbathing, and play. I work from home, so dogs are never left alone for long periods — they get consistent supervision, affection, and routine. I also keep doors latched, food stored safely, and use baby gates when needed to manage space and keep everyone comfortable. The trolley stops right at my home, which adds a fun enrichment moment the dogs genuinely enjoy.
“Isabella was top notch! Best cat-sitter west of the Mississippi! 😃 She took amazing care of my grieving kitty who has lost all his buddies/companions while I was away. So happy she could and was empathetic for good ol Skiddy da cat! Thanks again. Will definitely be using her again.”

“Janice was so great with our little dog Biscuit! She really took the time to address his needs while we were away and made sure he was happy and attended to. Her communication was spot on and made us feel very comfortable. I would recommend for sure!”

“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!!”

I booked Andrea last minute for some drop-ins and Andrea DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I will definitely book again in the future, she went above and beyond for the kitties and they warmed up to her almost immediately (they don’t really care for people). I appreciated the check-ins followed up with pictures 💚💕 Thank you Andrea!

Jake stepped in at the last minute when our other dog-sitting plans fell through, and we couldn’t have asked for a better fit! One of our dogs can be a handful for sitters, but Jake quickly won him over, and they had a great time together. He sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful for the care he gave our boys and can’t recommend him highly enough!

We absolutely love Brittany!! She’s our go-to for our babies and always takes such great care of them. She sends the BEST pictures and updates, and we always feel so much better knowing she’s checking in on our kitties. Our little crew loves her, and so do we! 🥹🐱💕

Tina was wonderful with our cat, Taco, over our lengthy vacation. They made sure he had adequate playtime & socializing - along with tending to our cat’s various robots. At our meet & greet, Tina took detailed notes & photos to make sure Taco got everything he needed while we were gone. That greatly reassured me. Pet sitting at our place was challenging - the community was handling repairs at the same time, but Tina handled the chaos well. They went above & beyond to run to the pet store after their visit & return to apply some medication. Thanks Tina!

I truly can’t recommend Grey enough. She is an absolute gem and one of those people you feel SO lucky to find on an app like this. She took AMAZING care of my two cats while I was traveling. I felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing they were left in her care. I’m admittedly a little over-the-top when it comes to my cats and their happiness and comfort 😂 and Grey knocked it out of the park. She is attentive, loving, communicative, and took care of them as if they were her own. Also - my cats ADORED her! Animals are excellent judges of character and my cats totally loved her. She shared many photos during each visit and it was clear that they felt extremely safe and happy. I already know they’ll be excited to see her again in the future! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful with animals, Grey is your person. I’m so happy I found her and will absolutely be reaching out to book her anytime I need to travel. Thank you, Grey!!! ❤️

Carmen was wonderful with Kiru. She was communicative from the start, checked in regularly, and sent so many photos (a lot of very cute ones) that I never had to wonder how my cat was doing. You can tell she has a lot of experience with animals, and she's just a really kind, attentive person. Kiru was clearly happy and well cared for. I'd recommend Carmen to anyone and will absolutely book her again.

Christine was amazing! She took great care of our two cats and kept us updated on them while we were gone. One of our cats has a medical need and she was more than capable of handling that and our young kitten with tons energy! I would recommend her to anyone. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!

Carrie is an ABSOLUTE gem - we couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our pup. Carrie has helped watch Marnie twice and has great communication. She makes me feel so secure leaving our baby with her. I know she treats her as if she was her own. I will recommend Carrie to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter ! 10/10 no notes 😄
