About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. My dog, Bearra, a Lab and German Shepherd mix, recently passed away after living an amazing 15.5 years. She was such a huge part of my life and taught me how important patience, love, exercise, and attentive care are for pets at every stage of life. As a teacher on summer break, I’m looking forward to spending more time outside doing something I truly enjoy, caring for and spending time with dogs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, caring, and attentive service for both you and your dog. I am a teacher on summer break, so I currently have a very flexible schedule with my days, evenings, and weekends available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I enjoy being active and outside, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine and gives me the opportunity to spend time doing something I genuinely love. While I do not have a private yard, my complex has safe grassy areas for walks and bathroom breaks, and I enjoy taking dogs on walks around Coronado, Seaport Village, and Miramar Reservoir. I treat pets like family, so they are welcome on the furniture and will receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care while they are with me.

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!
“Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️”

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.
“Tatiana took great care of my fur babies. She made sure my dog and cat were happy and comfortable while my husband and I were away overnight. My cat is senior and requires medication, she had no problem handling that. Bogie (my dog) looked happy and relaxed when I returned home. I would hire her again!”
“Tally was wonderful with my last-minute request to look in on my dog and take her for a walk when I needed to be away for most of the day and night. She took good care of my dog and took care to secure the house. I happily recommend Tally as a reliable pet care professional and I will use her services in the future if she is available.”

“I cannot rave enough about Alex, on EXTREMELY short notice she was able to help me out in a bind. My fur daughters were in desperate need of a bathroom break. Alex showed up and provided care when I wasn’t able to.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small animals like bunnies and guinea pigs. 🐶🐱🦎My family and I have raised multiple puppies and cared for seniors, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need.

“Ranishkia was reliable and communicative. She went the extra mile to spend quality time with my cats when she stopped in, giving them love and treats which we always appreciate! We will definitely book again 😊”

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.

Outside of the parents I will be your dog’s new best friend 😁 I’m a part-time ER nurse so I only work twice/week.

I’ve always fed my dogs on a consistent schedule (your dog will eat on whatever schedule you want them fed) and I will take them for walks and I have a yard where dogs can run free and crazy!

Bay Terrace pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karmelita was a true godsend for our two cats. It was great having someone check on the two boys and ensuring they were okay. She provided great photos of them and gave them much needed play. Overall I feel my cats did well under her care, vs the unattended check in my neighbors previously did. I will definitely consider booking Karmelita in the future.

Positively amazing! Met with me on short notice and took care of my pup later that same week. Good communication throughout and even went the extra mile to come back and let my dog go to the bathroom later in the evening at no extra charge! Would recommend 10/10 dog sitter! She is a life saver

Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior.

Gao was an amazing fit for my need(s) for BearBear. Reading her profile was the main reason I selected her. She was very knowledgeable, passionate, and handled BearBear with the care he needed; above and beyond (medicine doses, nail trim, etc.). Her communication, availability and empathy was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Kelsey was incredible! She was so kind and communicative with me about my kitties and any issues that arose (for example, my automatic litterbox got stuck and needed to be manually reset). I can tell she truly has a deep love and respect for all animals. One of my cats is very shy usually but by day 2 he was coming out to see her for treats and toys during their drop in! I came home to happy and healthy animals and Kelsey was even kind enough to bring my Amazon packages inside. This was a great experience and I’ll be using her in the future again for sure!

Sabrina goes above and beyond. She is great with our two feral cats, always being careful not to spook them by being loud. We are so pleased that they come out to visit while she is here (something they never do with strangers). She gives us peace of mind while we are gone!
