House Sitting in Blossom Valley

“Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my Natasha! Sarah was incredibly attentive, sending regular updates and adorable pictures throughout the stay. My Natasha was clearly happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their home. Sarah went above and beyond to ensure my Natasha routine was maintained, including daily walks and playtime. I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again—highly recommend! Sarah 🐶✨”

“Angelina was awesome with our three (3) dogs. She sent daily pictures and updates. We would highly recommend her to anyone and will be using her again.”

About: Been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager. Experienced in pets, cuddles, mess clean ups, walks and giving medicine as needed! Can't wait to meet your pet! My schedule is open for helping take care of your critters! I am available throughout the day most days to provide the needed care for your cats and dogs! When caring for pets in someone else's home, it is really important to follow the standards set forth by the pet owners. Most pets have a set routine and it is important to stick with their routine while providing lots of love and attention.

“Daisy was a fantastic house and pup sitter. She was super communicative, professional, and was so great with my rambunctious Australian Shepherd. On top all the great care for my pup, she left my house in great shape- clean, tidy. Will definitely hire again.”

“Donatella made me feel super comfortable and kept me updated and had open communication throughout her stay with our pup. Will definitely be working with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”

“We were so happy to have found Brock to watch our little pup. He was attentive to our older dog’s needs and communicated throughout our trip. 5-star service all around. Would highly recommend!”

About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I'm active, patient, and love going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I'll care for your dog the same way I would my own. Pet care is already part of my everyday life because of my own dog, Taco. He's super active, so walks and park trips are already part of my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, so dog walking and drop in visits fit naturally into my schedule. I'm available weekday afternoons and anytime on weekends. I always want dogs to feel safe and comfortable around me. On walks, I pay attention to their pace, surroundings, and anything that could stress them out. In a client's home, I follow their routine and make sure their dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat my dog like they're my own ❤️

About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed. I also care for them by taking them for walks or finding the perfect new toy from an old volleyball, piece of rope, or other seemingly random objects that pets decide to take a liking to. Its interesting to see what they choose and of course there are limits there of things that should not be considered due to being hazardous due to being a choking hazard, but I'm all about finding new ways for them to have fun. I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years. Neighbors, friends, and family always call me first when they need a sitter. I also have experience training puppies. I’m currently working part-time while on my summer break from school, so I will have plenty of time to walk, look after, and care for you pups. I have a fenced yard and 2 playful dogs of my own to keep yours company. I can also easily crate your pup if needed.

“Dori is amazing. She really cared about my dog. She gave me updates and pictures often and was just a pleasure to communicate with. I felt very comfortable having her take care of my baby and will be using her again in the future.”

“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!”

“William was great with my dog. I am very happy to had him taking care for her. I really recommend him. Emma was happy while I was out the town.”

About: I have been around dogs and animals for as long as I can remember and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love doing! I’m newer to Rover, but I have years of experience dog sitting for friends and family and have always been surrounded by animals. I currently have a dachshund (wiener dog) of my own, and my parents have a dachshund and a goldendoodle, so I’m very comfortable with both small and large dogs, different personalities, and all energy levels. I am currently home full time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, house sittings, and even last-minute bookings when needed. I’m dependable, patient, and willing to adapt to each dog’s unique routine and personality so they feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling, going to the dog park, or just having company and attention, I will dedicate my time to making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for your fur baby like they’re one of my own! 🐾💗 I am currently home for the summer from college and have a very flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, and house sittings, including weekends and many last-minute bookings. I love spending time with animals and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, playtime, and love while you’re away. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! I prioritize safety, structure, and a calm environment so every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I treat each pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their routines, behavior, and individual needs. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I provide plenty of supervision, affection, and playtime throughout the day, and I’m attentive to maintaining a clean and secure environment at all times. I am very reliable, communicative, and committed to making owners feel fully confident while their pets are in my care. I understand how important trust is when it comes to someone caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. If pets in my care are social and comfortable around other dogs, I can also provide opportunities for supervised interaction in a controlled and positive setting.

“I was lucky to find Alexis and Adam to take care of my Malinois. I’d never used Rover before but I needed someone to care for her, walk her and stay with her while I was out of town. They sent me a lot of updates and pictures and I knew she was happy. I’ll definitely use them in the future :)”

About: I have taken care of a wide veriaty of animals since I was very young! I personally have two dogs and a cat that I love, and I love taking care of my friends and family’s pets because I think every animal deserves the love and the care that they deserve. I’m a full time student but have the available days to take care of the pet’s daily needs and making sure they are doing good. Making sure the pet’s are safe whether they are inside or outside is a big priority to me, because when you put your trust in me you also put your trust in my care for your animal. Feeding and playing with them will definitely also be my highest priority next to their safety.

“Erica is great and we highly recommend her. When first booking with her we did a meet and greet and explained the special handling Max our cranky 15 yr old ankle biter required along with our two other dogs and tortoises. She went out of her way to make several more visits to get Max accustomed to her, which wasn’t easy but she didn’t give up. She sent videos and pictures daily to keep us up on how things were going. I think the dogs enjoyed their time with her and she even managed to tame the beast in cranky Max. She also left the house straighten up, dishes washed and everything in order which is nice to find when you return home from a trip. She will certainly be our pet sitter of choice moving forward.”

About: Hi! I’ve been a proud dog mom and animal caretaker for over 10 years, and my love for animals started at a very young age. I truly see pets as family—whether they’re my own or yours—and I treat each one with the same care, love, and attention. Expect lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and treats (with your permission, of course!). I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel a little nerve-wracking. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease. I’m happy to send photo updates, take them on walks, keep them company with a movie if I step out, and tuck them in at night with their favorite toys so they feel safe and loved I work remotely, so I can be pretty flexible with my schedule and yours. I can work from your home if needed, be there 24/7 or to just check in. Depending on your pets needs, I can take them for walks, let them out for a bathroom breaks, play with them and their favorite toys, and provide top tier belly rubs.
