“Kristen did an amazing job watching our energetic and food-crazy Labrador. She stayed in our home and we felt so comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. She sent daily check ins and photos. Also she was so respectful of our home and left it spotless. She even washed her sheets, towels and ran the dishwasher/put the dishes away before leaving! She was on time, always very prompt in replies to texts, and even made sure our packages were brought in and kept safe from our curious doggy. Won’t hesitate to use her again in the future!”


“Hannah was fantastic! She gave our boys lots of attention, followed all of our instructions, and updated us with photos on a regular basis. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to have her stay with our dogs again.”


“Elise was amazing. She helped us out on very short notice, was super easy to communicate with, and left our place spotless! Our animals loved hanging out with her, and she sent plenty of photo updates to make us feel comfortable, will absolutely be booking again!”


“We found Leanne when another dog sitter cancelled the week before a trip. Leanne was a good communicator and clearly experienced with dogs of all sizes. She bonded with our German shepherd right away. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog. We will absolutely use Leanne again!”


“We were very happy with how Eliza took tender loving care of our dog Max while we were visiting San Diego to attend a concert. She sent ample photos and updates and was very flexible for our needs while staying in the Gaslamp quarter. Eliza was very thorough and asked pertinent questions about our dog's needs. We would love to have her watch our dog again when we visit.”


“I cannot recommend Evan enough! She stayed at our house and took care of our dog and two cats, and they were so well cared for. We arrived home to some very happy pets! She was thorough, sweet and sent pictures to let us know all was well. It gave me such peace of mind! You can 100% trust her, and we'll be using her again! Thanks Evan!”


“Haylee was wonderful! She took excellent care of my 2 dogs, 1 cats, house and plants. Very responsive to my texts. Sent me updates so I didn't have to worry while I was away.”


“I needed a house sitter fast and I found Jordyn, she was flexible and was able to take care of my dog. She was such a great sitter! She kept me updated and sent me pictures of my Chewy :) I will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Nikolas has watched our two boys over two separate weekends. He's communicative and kind. The dogs immediately took to him. He leaves the house spotless. Nikolas is fantastic, we highly recommend him.”


“Grace is the sweetest and took amazing care of our two pups! One of our dogs, Railay, is a rescue and we were nervous how he’d handle a new sitter as he’s always been watched by family. Grace gave both pups so much love and it sounds like they had a blast with her! Can’t say enough great things about her!”


“Hailey was amazing! Our 1 yr old pup has a little separation anxiety and Hailey handled her so well! She stayed at our house for 2 nights and she gave us updates & pictures throughout the few days. This was our first time using overnight/house-sitting Rover and Hailey made us feel so comfortable leaving Pippi w/her. We’ll gladly ask her to come back anytime!”


About: I am an animal lover at my core and am passionate about biodiversity conservation! I have been walking and caring for my own dogs all my life and have been pet sitting for family and friends for the last year, administering basic medical care such as medication and wound care daily. I'm a college student with classes in the mornings and some afternoons Monday-Friday. I am available in the late afternoons, evenings, and weekends and would love to spend my time taking care of animals and having fun! I keep a careful eye on pets at all times and ensure that they are safely and happily having the time of their lives! Although I am not living in a place where I can have pets, I am determined to keep them safe, secure, and happy in their homes!

About: Hi! I’m Amanda, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 25 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and that love has only grown stronger with time. I’ve had the privilege of sharing my home with many pets over the years and currently live with two amazing dogs—Max, a sweet and loyal Black Lab, and Tucker, a playful and friendly Goldendoodle. They’re both a big part of my daily life and a constant reminder of how special our furry companions truly are. My experience includes caring for pets of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing a gentler approach, I provide calm, patient, and loving care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also comfortable with basic training reinforcement, giving medications, and handling multi-pet households. I offer: * Dog Walking- Whether it’s a short potty break or a long stroll, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need. * Drop-In Visits- Quick check-ins for feeding, playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away. * Overnight Boarding (in your home)- I’ll stay with your pets in their familiar environment, keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My goal is to provide the same level of care and compassion I’d want for my own dogs. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to connect and learn more about how I can support you and your pets! I work a flexible part-time job, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of schedules and pet care needs. Whether your pup needs a long morning walk, a midday drop-in visit, or overnight care while you're away, I’m here to help. I’m available for: * Extended dog walks throughout the day * Overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable and cared for * Backyard playtime or relaxing visits for pets who just want some company and attention Because of my flexible schedule, I can often adjust my visits to match your pet’s routine—early mornings, evenings, or weekends included. Just let me know what works best for you and your pets! When caring for pets in their home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and creating a calm, stress-free environment that feels secure and familiar. I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their own space while you're away, and I do everything I can to ensure they feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared-for in your absence. Here’s how I provide trustworthy and safe in-home care: * Consistent Routines: I stick closely to your pet’s daily schedule—walks, feedings, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and bedtime—to help maintain a sense of normalcy. * Crate Training & Comfort: I’m very comfortable with crate-trained dogs and fully support the routine and structure it provides. I make sure crate time feels safe and positive, never stressful or used as punishment. * Respect for Your Home: I care for your space just as I do your pet—keeping it clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. * Open Communication: You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. * Earning Your Pet’s Trust: I build trust through a calm, patient approach and lots of positive attention. Whether your pet is outgoing or shy, I always move at their pace. * Prepared & Observant: I’m attentive to changes in behavior, eating habits, or energy levels and know how to respond quickly if anything seems off. Your pet’s well-being is my number one priority. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I consider it a privilege to be trusted with their care. My goal is to make them feel safe and happy—and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away.


“Amber was great! She was responsible, communicative, friendly, and we trusted her completely. She followed the instructions we left, and our boys seemed happy and relaxed in the photos she sent. We would not hesitate recommending her or having her stay with our pups again.”


About: I grew up with animals and pets of all varieties. I also work as an integrative therapist in the community and know firsthand how important pets are as beloved members of the family. I am nurturing, attentive to detail and have a special place in my heart for dogs and cats, especially 💜 I have a flexible schedule and will be happy to work around your pet sitting needs, as best as possible. I also have a beautiful fenced in yard and pet friendly home, available for boarding. My approach is to work with the individual needs of each fur baby and their families. I can either take care of your pets in your home or offer to board them at my home, with lots of space to play in our fenced yard and pet friendly home.

Amanda L.
“We had an amazing experience with Amanda, who stayed at our home and cared for our two dogs and one cat for two weeks while we were away. From the very beginning, Amanda was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive to each of our pets’ unique needs. Our dogs, Mojo and Ruby can be a handful — one is high-energy and the other is a bit shy — but Amanda handled them perfectly. Our cat, Tiger is usually very independent, but even he warmed up quickly, which says a lot! It was clear they all felt safe and comfortable with Amanda. We received regular updates, photos, and videos, which made being away so much easier. Amanda kept up with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, and litter box cleaning, without issue. When we got home, the pets were relaxed and happy, and the house was spotless. It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and your home — but we’ve definitely found that in Amanda. We would absolutely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, loving care!”
