About Stephanie

12 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I am active and energetic and have taken care of small and large dogs. In my free time, often I hike and run and am a San Diego native. I love spending time with dogs and have sat often for my boyfriends family as well as my parents. I am punctual and responsible and have an open line of communication. Dog owners would be delighted to have me as a sitter and a friend for their dogs. I grew up with a small dog at home but have family and friends of all sizes. Dogs are definitely mans best friend and are definitely some of my best friends. If any one has any questions do not hesistate to ask. I look forward to working with you and caring for your dog or dogs.

Brian was great. The dogs really liked him. Neighbors say they saw him often taking walks with them. They were very happy when we got home. Thanks Brian for a great week.

About Taryn

14 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hi, my name is Taryn. I am 31 years old and work as a Photographers as well as an Operations manager at a Spa. I live with my husband Eddie who is an Engineer at a firm in Carlsbad. We have a 14 year old Australian Shepherd named Missy. Missy is a sweet old lady who loves to meet other dogs and play Frisbee in our neighborhood dog park.

Our home is a lovely three bedroom, town home in Cardiff. We have a doggie door to our back yard so your pet can always access our yard whenever they want. Our main living space downstairs is a combination of hardwood and tile, while our upstairs bedroom area is all carpeted. We have a great kitchen, so if you have a certain way you prep your pups food, we will definitely be able to accommodate that!

We have a Neighborhood dog park that belongs to just our neighborhood and is a canyon where dogs can be off leash. It has a lot of great green grass space, as well as more off trail areas that dogs love to explore. But because it belongs to just our neighborhood, it is fenced, so you never have to worry about your pup slipping away from us!

We also love to take our pet guests on trips to the park and/or beach. We do offer to wash your pup (if they get dirty on our adventures), so that they are all clean, brushed and smelling good when you get home! We would just require that you pay a additional $20 dollar fee. I am also a Photographer, so you will receive daily pictures of your pet!

Our bedroom area is up 1 set of stairs and is carpeted so if your pet has issues with potty training, we may crate them for the night.

Please let us know if you have any questions, and we would love to love your special pet, the same way we love our missy girl!

About Brianna

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hello! I'm Brianna, and I live in Encinitas by way of Seattle. I work part-time for a non-profit, usually from the comfort of home. I love filling my time with extra gigs that involve animals.

Having grown up with dogs, I cannot imagine life without them. I've owned a German Shepard, a Golden Retriever, and three Dobermans, and I have cared for more dogs than I could possibly count. I've spent over ten years pet-sitting for neighbors and friends with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I'm comfortable around all personalities of dogs, but I have a soft spot for rescues. I've cared for dogs of all ages and needs, from the healthiest of pups to special needs ones who require constant care. Because I work from home, I will be able to give your pup cuddles all day long. We'll go for walks in the neighborhood or any near-by trails, and we'll make time for play breaks throughout the day.

I would love to care for your beloved pup(s) and treat them as my own! I am also happy to care for other pets such as cats, fish, reptiles, etc.

Note: Unfortunately my landlord has a no-pet policy, so I am unable to host your pup, but I am happy to come to your home!

About Karrie

11 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I have had dogs all my life and have always helped to take care of my friends and neighboors dogs. I understand it can be hard to leave your pets when you go on a trip, let them come stay with me and have a vacation of their own. I love all dogs like they are my own. I am a stay at home mom to one very dog friedly son and three dogs of our own. We have a large dog friendly backyard the dogs can play in. The dogs are also welcome to come inside with us. We treat our dogs as part of our family and we will treat your dog the same way. We will walk the dogs three times a day and we are within walking distance of an off leash dog park for those dogs that like to play.
I have worked as a professional dog walker in the past. Also have had many puppies and trained all of our dogs. Before I was a stay at home mom I was a preschool teacher, so I have a lot of patience!
Usually I will be at the house but I do have to leave sometimes throughout the day to pick up my son from school or go to the grocery store. Your dog will never be left for more than an hour or so.
I can also come to your home and take care of your dog for shorter trips, or just take your dog for a walk if that is all you need.
While you are away I will text or email you pictures and videos of your dogs playing every day. Pets have always been very special to me. Please contact me to setup a meet-n-greet, so your dog can come meet our family.

About Pam

20 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Note: at this time, I only offer sitting for dogs;
I don’t currently accept cats. Thank you!

Note: We only board one dog at a time.

My husband and I both grew up with dogs. His Mom raised Poodles and my parents rescued our first Collie when we were in grade school. We also rescued and raised a variety of cats growing up. I have had my pet care business since 2005. I walk dogs daily, visit client's pets when they travel, do overnights in my client's homes as well as board dogs in our home and visit dog parks. We also provide daycare for one calm dog at a time. We live in a house with a medium sized backyard that is completely fenced in so your dog has some room to roam, run, play, and relax. We also take our canine visitors on walks around our neighborhood and to the Power Line Dog Park which is one block from our home. My dog walking schedule varies each day so I am in and out of the house during the day. My husband is self-employed and his office is one minute from our home. If I have a long day, he can easily drop by the house to give the dogs some attention. We rescued our second Collie about eight years ago when our daughter spotted her on the collie rescue site. She is an easy going 11 year old now and gets along with all dogs. We do require a meet and greet to be sure your dog gets along with ours. I am a volunteer at Rancho Coastal Humane Society and enjoy giving the dogs some love and attention while they wait for their new home. NOTE: We only board one low key dog at a time.

About Scott

13 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I would love to care for your family pet!

If you don't have time to walk your dog, if you are traveling and need someone to care for your pet in your home, or need someone to come and check on your pet I would love to help.


My Pet Sitting/Dog Walking business is called SD Pet Concierge. My mission is to enrich the lives of every pet I can. I’m passionate about the well-being of all animals and have spent more than 5,000 hours working with and advocating for animals of all types.

I spent 4 years volunteering at a Big Cat Sanctuary (Lions, Tigers, Snow Leopards, etc.)

I've volunteered at the Carlsbad County Animal Shelter for 5 1/2 years walking thousands of dogs. For the last year and a half I've volunteered at Last Chance at Life rescue in Oceanside also walking dogs, posting animals for adoption on adoption sites, and raising money for the rescue.

I’m someone who will treat your pet as I would my own, with love, respect and providing the care they need.

My clients are all references and can speak to the high-level of care I provide to their family pets. I can provide those references if interested.

Jason watched my dog, Rigby, over the weekend at my home. Rigby has some socialization issues that we're working through and I felt confident Jason would be able to handle them after we met for a meet and greet. Jason was always prompt with communication and was respectful of my home while he looked after Rigby. I would have him do so again and would recommend him to others.

About Aliesia

8 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hi there everyone. My name is Aliesia. I am originally from Texas and I have moved here to California about 3 years ago. One of the things I carried with me is my love for dogs. I have always had dogs growing up through now, and I could simply not imagine my home without any! I used to do a lot of house sitting back in Texas, and even though I do have dogs of my own, I love caring for all types of other dogs and creating a safe and fun environment for them while their parents are out and about! My dogs are extremely friendly, and love to play with other dogs. I am an online college student and personal trainer in the gym, but only part time. I am at home most of the time, and am available for full time pet care! If your dogs do not do too well with others, don't worry, I have created play pins, fencing, and separation methods. I created pins for my dogs as well because I want their area that they spend the most time in to be as safe as possible. I also have two doggie doors that lead from the play pins into the full secure and fenced in yard. I am used to caring for very high maintenance dogs(my current puppy and my German Pointer that passed last year), so no need to stress if your pup needs lots of attention! If you have any questions or would like to meet my dogs and I, just let me know!

I met Aliesia at my house before I left town. My dogs liked her, she was nice, and was attentive to the dogs care and needs while I was out of town. So I went forward and hired her for the 4 nights I was gone. The communication while I was out of town from her was minimal but I was not calling or texting her much more. When I returned home most importantly my dogs seemed to be happy and healthy. However the mess she left behind was not professional. apart from the bed being a mess and makeup all over the counters and trash everywhere. There was mud tracked in all over the bedroom carpet and dog beds. Most likely from the dogs. but as part of talking care of pets inside someones home is cleaning up after yourself and the pets you are responsible for.
