“I cannot express enough how amazing Katherine was. She went above and beyond my expectations. This was my first time using rover for someone to take care of my pet and I feel so lucky to have found her! My cat was so well taken care of. She left detailed descriptions of each visit and lots of photos which I loved. She was very good with communicating and flexible with my schedule. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK! This is Terry and I’s 2nd time working with Janetta and I literally have no complaints. My favorite part of working with Janetta is the fact she cares for my son as if he was hers. Her communication….chefs kiss! She is very punctual and respectful of my home as well. She truly goes above and beyond of the tasks asked of her, and we couldn't be more grateful to have the ability to book with a sitter like her!”

“Took great care of our cats, and went above and beyond! Sent lots of photos during her visits, and all their food, water, and litterboxes were clean and well-stocked when we got home.”

About: Hello I’m currently working from home and do boarding for cats and dogs on the side. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur babies needs I currently work from home so I am always around to take care and tend to any need for your fur baby or that you may have. I live in a two story house by myself. It has 4 bedrooms and two of the bedrooms are dedicated to pet care along with the common areas. The back yard has a 6ft fence all the way around where the dogs can go in between walks when they don’t want to be inside . I use stainless steel crates but if you have a cat their carrier would be great. Dog and cat beds are around the house and I allow pets on the furniture.
“Jaylen was great!! She sent pics daily of our boy, fed him his raw food blend and he actually ate it even when we were gone! Typically he's stressed when either of us aren't home but he was super comfortable around her which made us happy! We would definitely use her again! 5+ stars 🌟”

I’m open to overnights and have availability for weekends. I can also do drop-ins on the weekends as well! I work in La Jolla, may have more flexibility in the area. I am currently only available to do pet care in your home. I’m happy to do other tasks around the house while you’re gone and keep your home clean. I will follow all your requests to keep your pets happy healthy and safe!
About: I love puppies. I have had two puppies in my life and I have also taken care of my friends' dogs. I like to take them to the beach or to the park I prefer Fridays to Saturdays since those days I have free and I can take care of them more so as to play and spend more time with them but if you need them to take care of it during the week I can make space but let it be in advance. The love of the pet will be equal to that of its owner with love and patience so that it feels at home and does not feel strange.
About: I have knowledge in pet care, dog behavior & dog nutrition. I have 6 year experience working with different dog and cat breeds of different age & sizes in a pet kennel, managed a dog camp and also have some experience in dog bathing. I also have experience in caring for other animal breeds ; hamsters, rabbits & some reptiles. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to get to know and spend lots of fun time with your pets and would love to spend my free time together ! I have a friendly cavapoo that can keep your pet company & a “doggy room” in my home that is a converted closet 2 x6 foot secured area that includes a doggy bed. I do also have a toddler in the home so pet must be friendly with children.
About: I have dogs in my own. I also have a cat. I have no problem taking care of other animals as well. I love my furry friends. I have an open schedule throughout the week. I am very interested in watching our furry friends cats and dogs. I also can walk dogs and watch cats as well.

About: Hi I worked in a veterinary office where I learned to care for dogs and cats of all ages and with many health issues and medication needs, With patience and care to build a bond and trust. I have a consistent schedule I work Monday-Friday 8-5 pm with Mondays and Thursdays being my work from home days! Which allows me to dedicate enough time to your furrbaby! I am a very interactive and patient person I feed off of their energy rather than forcing them to mine. I ease my way into trust and give them lots of cuddles and attention. I also have experience with administering medications if needed and can be very strict if needed but would rather give positive reinforcement only as I would like for them to associate me with love and affection and build a trust in case of any separation anxiety or trust issues if your pet has been rescued 💕
About: Hello my name is Kristen and I grew up with several dogs, a couple of cats, and many wild creatures in my childhood. I received an educational course on how to care for and train dogs (and cats) with positive reinforcement, for example, sitting for treats and belly rubs. While living in San Diego, I still professionally boarded dogs and do check-ins for my repeating military clientele. I'm currently a naval wife/homeschool mom, I have 3 teenagers to help give love and attention. We have plenty of time for feedings, walks, playtime, and cuddle time for your furry baby. While your pet is in my care, I will document with photos or videos daily. To show you the activities of what we did that day. We live in a 2 story home with a doggie door that leads into our fence yard. I also have 2 friendly labradors, named Lady and Ace. Lady is an elderly dog who likes things to be calm, but Ace is our hyper boy. They're opposites who love love and are great with other dogs. 😄❤🐶 If you have any concerns or questions, please contact me. And feel free to check out my photos of my dogs, and my yard size. I look forward to working with you and caring for your pet.
“Great w kitties. Shows them lots of love and is patient w them and follows all instructions without issues. I'm sure Rebekah is just as great with all other animals”

About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I have worked with Little Buddies, Wag, Rover and have helped friends and family take care of their pets for many years. I know animal CPR, am experienced in administrating oral and topical pet medication and have a great green open space right outside my home for walking dogs (and maybe even some cats!) My home is cute, comfortable and calm for dogs and cats alike. I’m very intent on helping animals feel safe and secure in my care. Whatever your pet care instructions are I will follow to the T. My cats would be separated in their own favored space while your pets enjoyed free range of my home during their stay. Rest assured your Loved ones are in good hands here, mi casa es su casa, a home away from home 😊 I am an Artist/Painter so I work from home and will be here the whole time while watching your pet while they’re boarding. And when I’m not boarding I have a lot of free time and flexibility to drive out to your fur baby to feed them, walk them, clean their litter or offer whatever care they need. I have a great green open space right outside my home for walking dogs (and maybe even some cats!) My home is cute, comfortable and calm for dogs and cats alike. My cats would be separated in their own favored space while your pets enjoyed free range of my home during their stay.
Bay Terrace pet parents share their Rover experiences
Candice took great care of my two dogs during three drop-in visits. She was very communicative and was flexible with a last minute extra drop-in visit. One of my dogs is very shy and Candice was able to win her over and get her to eat even while nervous. Candice also went above & beyond in bringing in a package and cleaning up poop in our yard. I would recommend Candice to anyone looking for pet care!

I couldn’t be happier with the care our cats, Jade and Chester, received! Karmelita went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, well-fed, and given plenty of love and attention while we were away. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear Jade and Chester felt safe and happy — even our shy Jade warmed up quickly! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional cat sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾

DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK! This is Terry and I’s 2nd time working with Janetta and I literally have no complaints. My favorite part of working with Janetta is the fact she cares for my son as if he was hers. Her communication….chefs kiss! She is very punctual and respectful of my home as well. She truly goes above and beyond of the tasks asked of her, and we couldn't be more grateful to have the ability to book with a sitter like her!

I cannot express enough how amazing Katherine was. She went above and beyond my expectations. This was my first time using rover for someone to take care of my pet and I feel so lucky to have found her! My cat was so well taken care of. She left detailed descriptions of each visit and lots of photos which I loved. She was very good with communicating and flexible with my schedule. I will definitely be booking with her again.

Ra-chel was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative, punctual, and followed all of the instructions I gave her. I have a puppy and a 3-year-old dog with anxiety, and she took the time to make sure both of them were comfortable and cared for. She sent plenty of updates and photos—and from the looks of it, they were both very happy! I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t be more grateful for Kelly! She took amazing care of our sweet Jasmine while we were away in Vegas. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease. Kelly kept us updated with daily photos and messages, and it was clear Jasmine was relaxed, happy, and well-loved. Kelly went above and beyond to make sure Jasmine got plenty of attention, walks, and cuddles. We came back to a calm and content pup, and that peace of mind is priceless. Highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter or walker. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Hannah was SO easy to communicate with and helped us care for our 3 month old puppy last minute. She cleaned up toys after play, offered potty breaks, gave puppy a snack, and put him to bed in his crate. Thank you Hannah for your kindness, patience and love for our baby! We hope to hire you again in the future.

Savannah is incredible! We have three cats, one has diabetes and she ensured he had his medications promptly. She came twice a day to feed and play with our babies while we were out of the country. It was wonderful to not stress at all while being on vacation, we had the best caretaker for our cats! She sent so many photos, which I loved and gave them ample play time. Our cats can get stressed when we leave and act out but there was zero stress this time for them. Our home looked better than when we left - cat boxes immaculate, no hairballs/vomit/potty accidents and kitties bowls cleaned after each feeding. I cannot recommend Savannah enough!! Ten stars, we will be booking for future trips with Savannah. Thank you for giving them so much love and attention 💞😻🙏🏽

Amish visited my cat while I was away for Thanksgiving. Communication with Amish was very smooth, and I appreciated the updates he provided during each drop-in visit. My cat was happy and well taken care of, and it gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend.

Isabella did an okay job overall. Our dogs were safe and seemed fine when we returned, which I appreciate. However, there were a few things that could have been better. The mess the dogs left in the family room wasn’t cleaned up, and their poop outside wasn’t picked up either. With a little more attention to cleanup and communication, this could have been a much better experience.
