Pet Sitting Wooded Area

About: I’ve have always grown up with pets, making me develop an extreme love for animals. I’ve had 2 dogs, and a cat who eventually has 7 kittens when I was 10 years old. Me and my family took care of them for 8 weeks until they could go to new homes! My love for animals has only strengthened, and after my childhood dog had passed, I wanted to take the love I had and still have for him, and share it with others by helping them take care of their pets. I knew the anxiety of trying to find the right person to care for your pet, and I want to ensure that I will give your pet so much love and care as if they were my own. I have a certificate in Cat and Dog First Aid conducted by American Red Cross so do not worry, your pet is in safe hands! I’m also very flexible for all types of energies your pet may have, I’m happy to chill out or run around and play some tug of war! I am currently a part time student at San Diego Mesa College, so I will have more than enough time to care for your dogs and cats! I’m always happy to get out of the house, especially if I get to meet more furry friends! My house is fully enclosed, with a fenced front yard and backyard. Almost all windows have screens, and I currently have one cat who is very independent and will be no trouble for your pet!

“Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 kitties while I was out of town! It was somewhat of a last minute request, so I was so appreciative when she accepted. She is extremely attentive, upbeat, detail oriented with instructions, and sends tons of photos! She did everything that was asked and more! I came home to a clean apartment, and well-cared for, happy kitties. I will def book Sophia again!”

About: Hey! I've been taking care and surrounded by dogs my entire life. Just in my immediate family we've had a Dalmatian, Poodle, Shih Tsu, Lab, German Shepherd, Terrier, and Golden Retriever, not to mention all of the dogs I’ve cared for in my neighborhood, so I’ve had lots of experience with all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also now have my own high energy German Shepherd/Lab mix rescue so I'm very familiar with dogs that can be scared, distrustful, or reactive. I love my dog more than anything so I know how important it is to find a trustworthy sitter that will care for your pet as you would. I know the struggles of having a sitter not give your dog the energy they deserve. My goal is to ease your mind by giving your dog the care, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation that they need. I accept same day requests! I have an extremely flexible work from home schedule so I'm able to drop in/walk your dog at basically anytime! I want every dog to have a fun and stimulating walk so I make sure they get proper exercise while also letting them stop and sniff as much as they want so they are both physically and mentally engaged. Due to my own personal rescue’s background, I have a lot of experience with dogs that can be scared, distrustful, or reactive, so I’m familiar with all the signs a dog might display when they are uncomfortable or overwhelmed. I always prioritize keeping dogs on-leash in comfortable and safe situations, away from other dogs.

About: I have had lots of experience with dogs of all kinds, sitting, walking and playing! I have helped birth two litters of puppies and have a passion for playing with them! I also am HCA certified and do senior care as well as house sitting! I am currently a college student at Point Loma Nazarene University, so pet walking will be in between my classes and pet sitting can happen regularly! I am willing to work with whatever setup you have in your home! I am able to take them for walks and out to use the restroom!

“Hope is amazing! Very accommodating and always so kind. She is also very responsive and receptive to our pets quirks!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I have plenty of experience looking after dogs and cats, both through my own pets and by caring for friends’ pets over the years. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I always treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I work as an elementary school teacher from 8:00 AM–3:00 PM, Monday through Friday, so I’m unavailable during those hours. Outside of my school schedule, I have a very flexible schedule and am completely available! I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and can be flexible with evenings, weekends, and other times that work best for you. I’m most comfortable caring for your pets in your home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I’ll follow their usual routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, meals, and love while you’re away. I’m happy to come to your home and care for your pets as if they were my own, while also making sure your home is treated with care and respect!

About: I am an animal care specialist for the U.S. Army. I have 9 years of veterinary experience. I have worked in veterinary clinics for 7 of my 9 years. I am currently working with marine mammals. I love my job and I love all animals! I have had veterinarians who took interest in animal behavior so I take a special interest in that as well. I don’t just want to care for your pets while you’re gone I want them to have someone they can trust and love. Pet care will fit into my routine as requested by the client. Basic needs being Am and PM potty break, and feeding. I am absolutely able to do walks, medication, or anything else upon request. I will be able to let pets out for bathroom breaks before I go to work and after work. If the pet(s) need to be let out at lunch this can be requested and discussed during booking! I like to have a home meeting before it is time for me to pet sit at your home. This allows me to meet and understand the behaviors of the pet(s) in their natural state, give them an opportunity to get familiar with me and get my bearings of the home. I will respect any of the client wishes for play, walk, sleeping, and feeding. I am able to assist with pets that may have more demanding medical needs or medication schedules.

“Kirra!! You are amazing!! Thank you for checking on my 4 pups last minute.. you the best!! 😁❤️ I would recommend you over and over. Thank you so much! 😍”

“Our dog is very shy but she instantly loved Rachel! She was very professional and communicative with us, sending us lots of pictures to ease our minds.”

“Alli cat sit for our energetic 1 year old cat while we were on a 3 week vacation. She was nice enough to do 2 pre-visits with us so we and our cat could meet her. We knew upon meeting her that she understood cat behaviors and is a “cat lady”. While we were gone, she visited our cat about the same time everyday and gave daily reports and pictures with each visit, which we absolutely loved. She shared what they did each day and we could tell she did her best to get my cat’s energy out each day like we asked. She also followed our wet and dry cat food routines and took care of the litter box. Overall, we were extremely happy with Ali’s services and will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always had a natural love for animals. I have a calm and patient presence around animals and love getting to know each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so caring for yours truly brings me so much joy! Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or relaxing at home, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions, and I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also always happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand so I can get to know you and your pet and make sure everyone feels comfortable. 🐾 I work part-time as a Stage Manager, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available during the daytime on weekdays, making my schedule a great fit for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and keeping your pets company while you’re at work or away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard and always supervise dogs while they’re outside. I don’t have pets of my own, but I live in a multi-family home where the other the residents have dogs in a completely separate living space. Their dogs will not share a space with your pet. Please let me know how your dog reacts to seeing or hearing other dogs so I can make sure they feel comfortable and safe during their stay. On walks, dogs stay securely leashed, and I avoid unfamiliar dogs unless discussed with you beforehand. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding, medication, and care instructions. Communication is important to me! After walks, I’ll send a photo and update. For boarding, you’ll receive updates twice a day with photos and videos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: After getting my delightfully weird dog, Murphy, I began boning up on all things positive reinforcement training. Through working with him, I’ve learned so much about training and management of special needs dogs. He has severe separation anxiety which has given me a unique experience; tough to find in other sitters. If your dog can’t be left alone for date nights or grocery runs or just a day out on your own, I’m your gal. Experience with nervous dogs and happy to work within your rules for your precious angel. I’m a fairly new transplant to San Diego and am spending some time finding my footing so I’m totally open to help with your pup or kitten’s care. I’m totally devoted to upholding the care your pet is accustomed to. As the caretaker to a unique dog, I know how much routine supports an animal’s comfort. Give me that detailed list of care and I’ll follow it to the letter.

About: I’ve been working as a pet sitter for two years now part time and would love to take care of your pet when you’re busy. My attention to detail and dedication to keeping pets happy and healthy make me a reliable choice for all pet care needs. I work nights so pet sitting is a part time job for me. I can watch pets during the day up until 3 pm, do walks or over nights. Pets will be taken on multiple walks, I live right next to the dog park. I will also feed and tend to your pets individual needs

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.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, dog loving sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds, from my family’s Rottweiler to dogs I’ve watched for friends, family, past employers and current employers :). I know every dog is different, so I focus on making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to build my day around pet care. I also like to stay active, which makes dog walks a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I can be available to give your dog the attention and care they need. I usually just follow whatever routine your dog is already used to (feeding times, walks, playtime, all of that) so nothing feels off for them. In your home, I try to keep things as normal and low stress as possible. If they’re with me, they’ll get regular walks, attention, and a calm, clean space to hang out. I’m pretty attentive and good at picking up on what a dog needs, whether that’s more activity or just time to chill.
