“Fantastic, will book again! Camille stayed with our animals for just under a week. We were nervous about leaving our fearful/shy rescues, but Camille is experienced, patient, and has excellent communication, and it was a successful 6 day stay. Thoughtful, intuitive, quality care for our challenging guys, we are grateful!”

“Grace was great with my dog Addy!”

“Carly was fantastic! She sent me super cute photos while I was gone and definitely went above and beyond. Carly is someone I can trust with my pets and not have to worry while I’m out of town!”

“Payton was great! The house was clean, she showed up on time, and the pups were well cares for. She even asked is she could get a pup cup from Starbucks because it was one of our girls’ birthday while she watched them. We will certainly book her again.”

Use code: waiw96209 for $20 off your first booking with me. | Please note: Rover takes a cut which increases price 🦴 Hey there, I’m excited to be your new pet sitter! 🐾 I’ve sat for chinchillas, cats, dogs, fish and grew up riding horses and tending goats. I worked and volunteered at the Oakland Zoo for 8 years. In 2021, graduated from Cal Poly SLO. I’m an avid daily walker who enjoys volunteering for the Elm St. Dog Park! Both your home and furry friend will be treated with care and respect. I love all animals and treat them as if they were my own best friends. I walk, feed, play, give pets, hugs, and lots of attention! For house sits, I can take in mail, trash bins, etc. I’ll communicate with you often and send photos. You can trust your pup is in safe and caring hands with me. Thanks for sniffing me! 🐾 My full time and attention is dedicated to your animal. I’m an avid daily walker and love to bring the dogs along with me. Your dog will sniff and lead the way! Let’s have a meet & greet! Please book at least 3 days in advance to ensure availability. You can provide care instructions or go over things in-person. I respectfully request wifi connection if needed.

“Josie showed up when she said she would, she took excellent care of my dogs, including my elderly girl. She also took great care of my home and yard. Highly recommend!”

About: Over 10 years of professional dog walking and training experience! I am a HUGE animal enthusiast, with a special love for dogs! I have worked with troubled and rescued dogs and am skilled at helping them learn to trust and love again. I train as I walk, always using positive reinforcement. I am highly empathetic, with a willingness to be extra attentive and patient with your pet. I promise to bring professionalism and love! Chelsea My schedule is very flexible! Monday through Sunday, 6am-8pm throughout San Diego metro area. I am available for walks, pet visits *no restrictions. I am usually available on holidays! I look forward to walking and caring for your pets!! I have 2 cats and a dog so I usually do not host other animals in my home but occasionally a small dog works! :)

“Hannah was great! Super responsive from the get go, kept me updated throughout each day I was gone, and left my house exactly as I left it. Loved the daily photos so I could see my pup having a blast. Thanks, Hannah!”

“Elora did a wonderful job taking care of our older dog while we were on vacation. Keiki Lani is on several medications and this proved to be no problem at all along with her special diet. Elora took all of our requests in stride and kept us in the loop with updates and photos during her stay at out house. She did did some extra chores, like watering plants, and the house was clean and as we left it.”

I will always follow your home and care instructions, keep dogs on leash while on walks, and of course, give your pet my full attention.

“Clare is wonderful! She really helped me by sitting with my dog so I could go to work. My dog just had surgery and I needed someone to stay with her. Thank goodness for Clare! She is very sweet and my dog loves her. My dog was happy to spend her recovery with such a great sitter ❤️”

Suzanne W.

“Annalise was absolutely awesome to sit our golden retriever while we went to tour Hearst Castle on our vacation. She was so sweet and I could tell that Sailor loved her. I would definitely use her again if we visit Pismo Beach again.”

Diane S.

“Kate was fantastic. Very communicative and punctual. She went above and beyond and even stayed a little longer than originally agreed on so my pups wouldn’t be alone very long until I got home. Will definitely rebook her in the future.”

Bryan W.

“Ysabel has sat with our anxious dog Alistair twice, and we won’t hesitate to contact her again. She is prompt, professional, and caring. We highly recommend her.”

About: New to Rover, not to pet care! I’ve housesat for friends with dogs many times, providing overnight care, feeding, daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention. First and foremost, I love animals. I’m a very active person, so I genuinely enjoy getting the dogs outside for long walks and exercise tailored to their energy level. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, flexible, scheduling, and reliable care throughout the day. I understand how important routine and communication are to pet parents, and I’m committed to keeping you updated with pictures and ensuring your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with pet care responsibilities and understand the trust involved in caring for someone’s animal. I’m currently working from home with a lot of flexibility, so I’m able to provide quick drop-ins or full time house sitting. My remote work allows me to be attentive and responsive throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are my type priorities. I follow all care, instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, routines, and any specific household guidelines. I understand how important consistency is for pets and work to maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize a calm, low stress environment. During housesitting, I will treat your home with the utmost respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident in your pet is well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, I can't remember a time that I haven't had a dog or cat around my home. Many friends and family have entrusted me with their pets to care for, walk, feed, and everything in between over the years and I hope I can gain your trust as well. In addition to cats and dogs, I was a livestock showman all 4 years of high school and have experience ranging from goats to cattle and everything in between. I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies; however, if you have a specific need I am flexible and open to learning. I am currently a full-time student majoring in animal science and work part-time as a nanny. I am available most evenings to walk your pup and over the weekends as well. I have a very busy schedule but would love to fit you in! I live in a house with 5 roommates so boarding or petsitting isn't something I am able to take on right at this moment in time.
