“Sarah was super friendly and easy to communicate with! She was available on short notice and took great care of my pup! Trusting people in your home and with your pets can be tough, but I trust Sarah & will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

“Joanne was very good w my two teacup yorkie’s! We communicated well while we were out. We r on vacation from Texas and so Joanne was super helpful to us so we can take a day to go to the San Diego zoo where pets not allowed. I will definitely recommend her.”

“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”

“Caroline was an amazing pet and house sitter. Not only did she take excellent care of our cat and dog, she also tended to our backyard chickens and ducks! On top of all that, she kept the house so tidy that we could hardly tell she had spent a week in our home. It was so comforting to come back after a vacation to find our house and pets exactly as we had left them. We will most certainly book with Caroline again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet and home sitter.”

“Emily has turned into a first choice for our fur baby. She makes him feel like a rockstar with walks and cuddles and play time and his own photo shoot. Emily is the main reason I believe in Rover!”

“I highly recommend Enrique as a dog and house sitter! He was incredibly attentive to my dogs, making sure they were well-cared for, walked, and happy while I was away. He kept my house spotless, which was a great bonus. Enrique also communicated frequently, sending me regular updates and photos of my dogs so I could see how well they were doing. It was clear that he genuinely cared about them, and it gave me peace of mind to know they were in such great hands. I’d absolutely trust him again for any future dog sitting needs!”

“Vanessa did a wonderful job taking care of our pups! I think they already miss her. She kept us in the loop and sent lots of pictures. I know they appreciated all of the walks and cuddles. I totally recommend Vanessa for any house sitting services.”
“Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!”

“Jackie was excellent - very communicative, caring, trustworthy. No issues at all and she left the house in very good condition. Dogs were well cared for and I would definitely recommend her. We will be using her again!”


About: I’ve had a lot of dogs in the past, and would also like to become a dog trainer one day. I hope to train something to the dogs I meet, even if it is just one day. Im currently unemployed and trying to go to school right now so I have plenty of time to spend with your adorable puppy’s I’m available anytime during weekends and weekdays. ☺️ I like going around balboa or just walking/playing around at the dog park I honestly just like spending time with my dog and just dogs in general it’s definitely my peace in life.
“Gabby was fantastic with our two dogs. She take great care of our house and pets. Pepper who is normally very afraid of people warmed up to her quickly and we know they were in good hands. We would definitely book Gabby again.”

About: my lifelong experience sets me apart from other sitters because my family would always positively recommend me to their friends. I am experienced with foster animals and pet sitting through years of helping a shelter worker and caring for her dogs. I’m attentive, reliable, and love working with all kinds of pets. I am currently working parttime as a preschool teacher but i am available on weekdays after 12. Mornings during the weekday are my only busy period. the care for pets varies depending on owners request. In the past, I have always followed clients requested bathroom and feeding schedules. if you have any questions, feel free to message or call me.

About: I am a Dog lover!!! I have experience with my dogs, and I take care of my friends and family dogs when they go out or travel. I would treat your baby like it was mine. Also I would send you an upgrade and pictures so you can see how much fun your dog is having. I think dogs are the best gift a human can have, and that is why they deserve the best care, attention, and Love!! I can provide that to your dog. Sometimes can be overwhelming for them to spend so much hours alone, without attention or without playing, so I would love to be part of that happiness, to take them for a run or walk, go visit them, pet him and play with him. Dogs are our best friends in life, so they deserve to have always the best!

About: In total I’ve had 5 dogs in my lifetime, dating far back to when I was a baby! Dogs of many sizes and kinds of dogs from small to big, a labrador rottweiler mix, bichon frise and the rest being rat terriers. So from about the time I was born until I was 13 (I am now 20), I owned 5 dogs :). I loved being able to walk my dogs, taking them to parks, just being in their company really. I look after my friends’ dogs on occasion as well as my relative’s when they’re busy and decided that I would love to make it into a career. I don’t have a job, and I’m a student at Southwestern, I was full time last semester but the semester ended just last week. I will be fully free for the next two weeks with the exception of Friday’s from 6pm-11pm (can be negotiated if need be!). I’m open every week day and every day of weekend, willing to work anywhere from 8am until about 5pm. I will be taking one class in the summer, ballet (dance), that begins June 15th, ends August 8th and runs Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:25am to 11:25 AM for all three days. I would not be allowed to host any pet in my house as we have two babies in the house and we’re not fully aware of their allergies yet, however, it would be best for me to do drop ins or house sitting sessions for that reason. I think doing a meet and greet beforehand would be amazing so that we could have a chance to meet each other first and maybe introduce me to your pet to see if I could be a good match to sit for them instead of blindly throwing me with them!

“Jenna was an absolute dream! She was so respectful of our space going above and beyond not only for the pets but also taking care of the house. She was very communicative and easy to reach! We would absolutely recommend her services and will use her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 4 years and truly treat every pet I care for like family. I’m very attentive, patient, and intentional about making sure pets feel safe, loved, and engaged while their parents are away. I love the outdoors and regularly take my own dog on long walks, trails, and weekly dog park adventures, so your pet will get the exercise, stimulation, and fun they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk, I focus on quality time, safety, and giving your pet the care I’d want for my own :) I work full time serving our State of California😊 however my job has very flexible hours and I make my own schedule. I work remote pretty often as well. Caring for pets is no problem as long as I can schedule ahead of time :) Weekends are also great for me as well! I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. During drop-in visits, I make sure all your pet’s needs are met like feeding, fresh water, comfort, potty breaks, and playtime, all while keeping their routine consistent and stress free. On walks, safety is always my top priority, and I’m attentive, patient, and aware of your pet’s pace and surroundings. I also love sending plenty of photo updates, so you’re never left wondering how your pup is doing and can feel confident they’re happy, safe, and cared for.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—starting with our sweet family dog growing up. Now, I share my home (and heart!) with two more pups I co-parent with my girlfriend: a small Shih Tzu and a senior mix, along with our youngest frenchie, Cleo. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for every pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or behavior changes. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and I’m always mindful of doors, gates, and other safety measures. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Availability: I do work a 8-5 Mon-Fri job. I am open to house sitting if your pup can be okay with me being gone during those hours. I work in the El Cajon area so if you’re close by, I could stop to check on your pup during my lunch break. I try to accommodate as much as possible 😊 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexible scheduling so your pet gets the attention they need—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, enrichment play, or bedtime cuddles. I work from home and spend most of my time indoors or outside on walks, so I’m able to provide consistent companionship, love, and care throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for your pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or changes in behavior. I never leave pets unattended outdoors, and I’m mindful about doors, gates, and anything that could pose a risk. I want your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for at all times.
“Lucas was great! He spent a week at our home with our Great Dane Goose. Goose seemed super happy (and most importantly, tired) once we returned home. Lucas was responsive, respectful, and communicative through out the trip. Will 100% be repeat clients.”

“Tally was great with my chocolate lab who has separation anxiety. She was attentive and gave him lots of love and hugs. My house was immaculate when I came home after a 4 day trip. Highly recommend Tally!”

Alta Vista pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jenna was an absolute dream! She was so respectful of our space going above and beyond not only for the pets but also taking care of the house. She was very communicative and easy to reach! We would absolutely recommend her services and will use her again in the future!

Sarah did a great job with my senior pit bull Frank and they clearly enjoyed each other's company. She followed instructions, alerted me to concerns, and was responsible and conscientious in providing care. I felt comfortable knowing he was well cared for during my three weeks away from home with Sarah there.

Briana accepted to sit for us again and we are very lucky we can rely on her. She was able to sit for us at our new location and she provided great quality care to Hunny Girl. Briana was incredible with some special needs we are facing and i found a happy and healthy pup upon my return. Thank you again and hope we can count on you in the future!

Angela did such a great job with our pups! I have one anxious GSD, but Angela was patient and gave her the space she needed until she warmed up. Then they had a great time! My other one is a ball of energy and she handled him well. We even had a last minute vet visit before our trip and she handled the extra feeding and medication instructions incredibly well. I would definitely recommend her!

Monica was fantastic! We needed a sitter for a few hours while we were visiting San Diego and staying at the Hotel Del Coronado. Our pup instantly liked her, which is fairly unusual. Lots of updates, photos and videos. Will use her again the next time we’re in town! Highly recommend for helicopter dog parents 😆

Karmelita took great care of our two dogs and our home while house sitting for us. One of our girls is very shy and timid around new people, but warmed up so quickly to Karmelita and we could see that she felt very comfortable with her while we were gone. I would re-book with Karmelita in a heartbeat and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

We had an amazing experience! He was incredibly attentive and took such great care of both of my dogs — they were happy and relaxed when we got home. He also kept the house in perfect shape, which we really appreciated. I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!

I really enjoyed having Rosalinda take care of my senior dog and stay at my home. She made time to come meet me and my dog before my trip. She checked in regularly while I was gone, to let me know how my fur baby was doing. I would love to have her watch my dog again. I highly recommend Rosalinda.
