Sara was fantastic! It was the first time I’ve used Rover, and I’m glad that I found her profile. She was great with my dogs, spent time with them, gave them lots of treats and cuddles, and made sure they were well taken care of. I don’t like leaving my dogs, but when I do I will definitely use her again.

Took such good care of our two kitties! Sent plenty of pictures, played with them a bunch, and always kept us up to speed with how they’re doing. Will be having her watch our cats again and would highly recommend!

Caity is a wonderful cat sitter. Kind, patient communicative, and thorough, she took incredible care of our beloved cat, Kuma, over 2 days. She took the time to get to know Kuma and make him comfortable with her presence. She quickly read his moods and needs, and made Kuma's first extended stint alone as easy as possible for both him and us - going well above and beyond what we had hoped. She sent us multiple fantastic photos and a report on how he was doing each visit - very comforting for two first-time cat owners. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat and are so happy to have found Caity!

About: I’ve had at least one dog in my home since I was 3 years old, so it’s the only way I know! I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone, so I prioritize communication, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I focus on meeting each dog’s individual needs. I also have experience with puppies and basic training reinforcement, and I’m happy to support routines you’re already working on. You can expect regular updates, photos, and thoughtful care every step of the way 🤍 I work from home on a flexible schedule, so I’m available for walks anytime of the day, morning, afternoon, or evening! I’m also available for drop in care and pet sitting when needed, I have the flexibility to work from wherever so spending the day with your pet is no problem! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. Being a dog mom myself, I know the level of care and attention I would want for my own dog, and I bring that same level of intention to every client I work with. I have plenty of experience with having pets of my own and making sure they are safe, happy, and taken care of. I also have plenty of experience walking my own dogs over the years, so I feel confident I can keep your pets safe on our walks. I’m comfortable with puppies, active dogs, and dogs who may need a little extra patience or structure. I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment so dogs feel secure and understood.

About: I have hands on experience with large breeds, reactive dogs, and young pups, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making each dog feel safe and understood. I also love staying active, so walks are always a highlight—whether your dog needs a quick stroll or a longer outing to burn energy. I treat every dog like my own and adjust my care to fit their unique needs. I am currently unemployed, I am going to school so my schedule is very open and flexible since I only have 1 to 2 classes a week that require me to go to campus. I have a fenced in yard with a friendly dog as well as a doggy door for access to the backyard and the house whenever they want. I have a large crate if needed as well.

About: Hi there! I’m a proud cat mom to Benny and Ellie, who love sunbathing and harness walks, and I was also lucky to spend 13 years with my Lab/Shepard mix, Lulu. I understand the guilt and anxiety that can come with busy schedules or traveling, which is why I aim to be the kind of sitter who sends lots of updates, photos, and love. I work from home full-time, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling, constant companionship, and attentive care. I provide house sitting, drop-ins, dog walking, and daycare services in my gated community with an enclosed patio, onsite dog park, and nearby hiking trails. Day Care Notes: • Pets must be current on flea/tick prevention, recently bathed, and comfortable around cats. • Meet & greets are required for pets with separation or social anxiety. • Daycare covers up to 8 hours; extended stays can be discussed. I work fully remote, which gives me the flexibility to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs! Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care, I’m able to provide attentive and reliable care throughout the day. I have a gated patio where your fur baby can sunbathe and relax if they need some fresh air or they can enjoy roaming around my two level town home and hang out with my two cats who love to meet and befriend other animals.

About: I provide dependable, loving care for both cats and dogs, always tailored to their unique personalities and routines. I’ve trained multiple dogs who became service animals, so I bring patience, structure, and positive reinforcement to every interaction. I also understand and respect the independence of cats, offering a calm presence, clean litter boxes, and gentle companionship (with plenty of pets, if they want them!). Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, quiet company, or a consistent routine, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pet care. I love being outdoors, going for walks, and enjoy having animals as part of our daily routine. Caring for pets is also a great way for me to teach my kids responsibility, patience, and compassion for animals. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, or playtime, your pet will get consistent attention and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific walking instructions, to help them feel secure and maintain consistency. I also take time to build trust with each animal, moving at their pace and always using positive reinforcement. You can count on me to treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own.

Whitney took great care of my two kitty babies while I was away. One of my kitties required medication (pills) for the first time and I felt confident and reassured knowing that Whitney was capable of administering the medication he needed and taking care of my fur babies. She sent me updates and photos every day. I would definitely hire her again.

Rebecca is a trusted and reliable sitter that went above and beyond to ensure that Lola was well taken care of, and our needs were met. She is an effective communicator, and it is evident that she truly loves animals. This was our first time leaving our girl in order to take a vacation but now I know who I will contact next time.

About: I have over 15 years experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up living with large breed dogs in my home and have gained experiencing caring for dogs, cats, and other critters (birds, tortoises, rabbits, ferrets, etc.) all of sizes in my community as a trusted sitter and Humane Society volunteer. I have cared for dogs young and old, puppies who required constant care and seniors with mobility support needs. I am comfortable administering oral or topical medication and bathing dogs upon request and direction. I currently live with a curious 9 year old feline named Luna and am planning for our next four legged friend. Since moving to San Diego from the Bay Area, I’ve missed daily walks with my family’s dog, a Siberian Husky Malamute mix also named Luna, and cherish each opportunity I get to bring that care, joy, structure, and stimulation to a dog’s daily life. Safety, trust, and wellness are my top priorities when engaging with your pet. It is important to me to honor each pet’s unique needs, personality, and boundaries with each meeting. I look forward to being a loving, reliable human in your pet’s life. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule that allows for weekday drop ins and walks. If requesting house sitting during the week, please specify if a constant daytime presence in the home is desired. Trust and reliability are central to my work as a sitter and caregiver. As no two pets or homes are alike, it’s important to me to understand you and your pets’ unique needs and preferences and adapt my care accordingly. I want to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe, and your home clean and comfortable. I love snapping photos to keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout our time :)
