Meet Our Precious Petcare Team

Hello, I’m Cierra! I’m from San Francisco and have lived in San Diego for most of my life. I’ve had a love for animals of all kinds since a young age, having cared for a dog, cat, hamster, turtle, lizard, frogs, rabbits, and a hissing cockroach over the years. I have experience as a dog walker, kennel attendant, and volunteered with San Diego Humane Society. Working and volunteering at shelters, I’ve supported animals with a wide range of personalities, including those with behavioral issues. I love giving extra patience and affection toward the animals who need it the most. Giving and receiving attention from animals has the win-win potential to brighten both the pet’s and person’s day!

My name is Ariana and my love for animals started from a very young age. I grew up in North Carolina where my house was always filled with rescue dogs and cats over the years. I moved to Los Angeles in 2011 to go to college and eventually found my purpose in 2017 when I started a job in Animal Welfare. Since that time I’ve worked in a shelter overseeing the health and well-being of 200+ dogs at any given time. I’ve completed dozens of multi-leg transports for dogs and cats going from one state to another. I’ve also mentored other animal shelters to help them with challenges that they may be facing. I moved to San Diego in August 2022 where I currently work remotely helping animal shelters all over the West coast. Since my love for animals is what keeps me going I began pet sitting on the side back in 2017 on my own and just recently joined Precious Petcare as a part time pet sitter. I love having the opportunity to care for pets and know my experience will provide the care and attention that they all deserve! When I’m not caring for my three dogs, Welby, Dexter, and Maxwell, I’ll be happy to share my love with yours!

Hi, I’m Ashley! I am from Washington State, but have called San Diego my home for over 17 years now! I have always loved animals growing up and had dogs, cats, rats, and a rabbit. I graduated from San Diego State with an Outdoor Recreation degree and have worked in Recreation for most of my career, but I have always wanted to work with animals in some way since I was a kid! I have spent many years as a volunteer at multiple shelters walking dogs and have watched animals for friends and family on numerous occasions. I have three rescue pets of my own: 2 dogs (Cali and Summit), and 1 cat (Diego) and they are my world. I love my pets as my children, so I understand how hard it is to find someone you trust to take care of your pets and make sure they are happy! I will love them like they are my own and give them all the love and attention they need!

Hello, my name is Michelle! I’m from Orange County and I have always had a deep love for all animals. Ever since I was young, I’ve always had a close connection with animals and love being around them in any capacity I can. Growing up we had dogs and cats in our family home and I would often go stay at my Aunt’s farm in Montana to be around all of the animals there. I have a lot of experience with animals and feel very comfortable around them. Being around animals is therapeutic for me and really makes me enjoy pet sitting! I get excited going to visit the pets and take pride in my work. My love for animals, attention to detail and caring nature make me the perfect person to watch your beloved pets. They will be in safe and capable hands and will be treated as though they are my own!

Hello! My name is Kerri and I grew up in Davie, FL. My husband and I, with our two Dalmatians, moved to San Diego two years ago for the military. My love for animals started at a young age. I owned dogs, cats and horses and loved taking care of my neighbors’ animals growing up. I went to Animal Behavior College for my Vet Assistant Certification, but I just love the more personal approach of animal care.

Hi my name is Marcella! I am from Poulsbo, WA and recently moved to San Diego for beauty school to become a future Esthetician. I am your standard crazy cat lady, I’m obsessed! I grew up with cats and got my own cat when I was 11. She is doing so well, her name is Princess because she rules the place, obviously. That’s her in my profile picture! Growing up, I used to pet sit for my three neighbors, who all had cats as well. I love dogs too, I had one for about 3 years and would walk my friend’s dogs when they’d go on vacation. Each pet is so unique and I love the variety of personalities and joy that this job brings me! So much that it doesn’t feel like a job, I just love chillin’ with the pets. I am so excited to meet and take care of all of your precious fur babies! <3

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m from a smaller town in the South where I grew up with a wide variety of amazing animals and pets. I was raised to treat all beings with kindness, respect and care, so working with Precious Petcare has been a dream come true! I get to express my passion and love for animals while also applying things i’ve learned while raising and researching so many animals! I remember all the times I would beg my parents to get me another companion. I will never forget my first exotic pet, my chameleon Pascal! I am in school for Biology and hope to build a career around my love for animals and their mental processes. I want to help animals feel more secure and understood, and I owe it to my sweet lab mix that I grew up with. He struggled with anxiety and feeling comfortable. The things I learned from trainers and also my experiences with him has given me the drive to explore that field myself. I adore the comforting and lively energy that I can achieve at work everyday and I wish to provide that environment for your pets as well!
