About: I love surfing and going on adventures with dogs. I have cared for all types of dogs of all ages. I love them all very much. I am a full time dog sitter and walker. I love taking my dogs to the dog park in Encinitas and long walks on the coast! I do not board the dogs at my home. I am honest and trustworthy, I have taken care of dogs for many years in San Diego.
“Laura was incredible. She accommodated a last minute request, scheduled a next day meet and greet and was extremely easy to work with. On top of that, the dogs loved her and she sent photos/videos with every visit. The pups love their new North County sitter.”


About: With a lifelong love for animals, I bring years of hands-on experience to pet care. Since I was 11, I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors, walking and caring for their pets like my own. I have a dog and a cat at home, and I understand how much pets mean to their families. My goal is to provide them with all the love, attention, and care they need while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets and give them the attention they need. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can usually adjust my schedule depending on the pet’s routine and the owner’s needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and are never left in an unsafe situation.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love them! I’m experienced with all sizes and ages and can care for medical conditions if needed. I’m usually available during the week in early mornings or evenings. I’m also available any time on Fridays or weekends. Happy to work around your schedule as much as possible. When coming into your home, I will be clean and respectful. I am happy to drive your dog to the park/dog beach in my own vehicle.
About: I’ve been a big pet lover my whole life. I’ve raised 2 cats and 2 dogs (a terrier and a Rottweiler). My furry best friend passed away last year so I find this opportunity to help out other families and friends in need of assistance as a blessing to experience and offer my services. I currently work remotely so I am very flexible with schedules of anytime during the day/night. This allows me to work around your schedule and needs! I set reminders to make sure our furry friends get the attention they need throughout the day, wether that’s a walk, playtime or feeding time.
About: I grew up with dogs, both big and small, including my own as well as fostered puppies my whole life. I am home sick and missing loving my furry friends at home. I currently work from home 5 days a week and have a flexible schedule. I live a very active lifestyle and love to go on walks. I have a very pet friendly environment and have taken care of multiple of my friends dogs. My apartment is animal friendly with space, comfortability, and allows us to tend to animal needs.
About: Hi! I'm Ashleigh, and I love spending time with dogs of every age, size, and personality through walks and drop-in visits. Whether your pup is a bouncy puppy still learning the ropes, a senior who needs a gentler pace, or somewhere in between, I'm happy to adjust to what they need. I have hands-on experience with extra-large breeds — my own dog is a 120 lb Alaskan Malamute, so I'm very comfortable with big, strong, and sometimes stubborn breeds that need a confident, calm handler. I know what it takes to safely walk and manage a large dog, from leash handling to reading body language. I'm also cat-savvy, so if you have a cat at home, no problem — I'm comfortable and respectful around feline housemates during drop-in visits. I have a flexible schedule with consulting and I'm available Monday through Friday, mornings until mid-afternoon. If you're heading to work and need someone to swing by for a walk or a check-in on your pup, I've got you covered during those daytime hours when they need it most. Since I offer walks and drop-in visits rather than in-home boarding, your pet stays in their own familiar environment the whole time. I focus on safety during the visit itself - secure leash handling for dogs of all sizes (including XL breeds), checking food/water, and following any specific instructions you leave for feeding, medication, or routine. I always double-check doors and gates are secure when arriving and leaving, and I send photo updates so you know your pet is safe and happy.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 5. I grew up with Goldens, German Shephards and Labs mostly. I had a pug of my own as well as a black lab. I have 4 siblings and they all have 1-2 dogs and we all laugh that we treat them like humans ie: sometimes they eat better than us! (wink wink). More recently, I lived in a place that wouldn't allow dogs so I would get my dog fix going on my daily walks especially in Encinitas where they are everywhere. But I thought getting into dog sitting/walking would allow me to be around them even more. They are good for the soul. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. So I can be available for last minute things that may come up and I'm am able to be at the house/do walks often if needed. I walk about 2 hours a day as it is so it would be in even better addition to my routine to have a dog with me! I am unable to have pets in my home at the moment although that is going to change in the next few months. As far as coming to your home, I am very respectful, reliable and will treat your dog like it's my own.
About: While I didn't grow up with a dog of my own, I have spent years intentionally seeking out opportunities to care for them. I approach pet care with strict attention to detail and follow every owner's routine to a T. I always volunteer to take care of my friend’s dogs because I can provide focused, one on one attention. Your dog won't just be well taken care of will be treated like family. I’m currently applying to nursing schools in San Diego, and am applying for EMT positions for night shift. Regardless I’ll be able to spend lots of time with your fur babies during the day! I have a massive backyard that is fully fenced and enclosed! I love dogs and so you can definitely expect your dog to be well taken care of!
About: Hi! My name is Kendra, and I've been around animals my entire life. From growing up with dogs to riding horses, caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I've rescued a kitten and found her a loving home, fostered a dog that was adopted by a past roommate, pet sat neighborhood animals, and cared for my sister's Rottweiler and playful Pitbull puppy. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or simply spending quality time with your pets, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention as my own. I have a flexible work schedule during the week. I’m also available to take your furry friend on walks and provide care throughout the entire weekend. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule—I can’t wait to meet and care for your best friend! I care for pets as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll follow your provided schedule for feeding, take them out frequently for bathroom breaks, and go on multiple walks to keep them active and happy. Playtime is always a priority, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away!
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and grew up with a Shih Tzu as part of the family. Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is that I'm reliable, communicative, and attentive. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether that's a leisurely stroll, extra exercise, or simply patience and encouragement. I'll treat your dog with the same care and attention I'd want for my own, and I'll always keep you updated with photos and notes after our walks. I'm a local real estate agent, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I love that my career gives me the opportunity to spend time outdoors, stay active, and meet members of the community. Because I manage my own schedule, I'm able to be reliable, responsive, and accommodate a variety of walking times. Whether your dog needs a midday break while you're at work or a longer walk to burn off some energy, I'm happy to help. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During walks, I'll make sure your dog is securely leashed, avoid unsafe situations, and tailor the pace and length of the walk to their age, energy level, and needs. When visiting your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I'll carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, water, medications, routines, or house access, and I'll always make sure your pet is comfortable before I leave. I know it takes trust to leave your pet in someone else's care, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I recently moved to the area and am excited to meet some new furry friends. I’ve always loved animals, and I feel so lucky to have grown up experiencing the special bond you can share with a pet. I had a cat for 15 years, so I know firsthand how much joy and companionship animals bring into our lives. My parents have also had a dog for the past three years, and I care for him regularly, so I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs and their everyday needs. I love spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing fetch, exploring the outdoors, cuddling on the couch, or simply keeping them company. I have a particularly soft spot for pets who need extra exercise, attention, and stimulation. Every animal deserves the chance to play, explore, and feel loved, and I genuinely enjoy helping them get the attention and activity they need to thrive. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of routines and give your pet plenty of dedicated attention throughout the day. I’ll always do my best to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while respecting their unique personality, preferences, and routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands while you’re away. Whether your pet needs long walks, an energetic playmate, a little extra companionship, or a cozy friend to relax with, I’d love to help! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱❤️ I am currently looking/applying to jobs so I have a lot of free time at home and full flexibility to take care of your pets at my home or your home or just for an activity! I live two blocks away from a great dog park. I don’t have a fenced in yard but there is plenty of space to run at the park and walk around the neighborhood and go to dog beach in Del mar! I am willing to accommodate whatever house rules you prefer including crating at night, allowing/not allowing them on furniture, or any other routine you would like your pet to stick to while you’re away!
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was born, so I absolutely love being around animals. I started house-sitting for friends and family about two years ago and have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, and more while their family is away. I have open availability and am able to accommodate your pets needs as needed! I’m very active and love taking dogs on walks or runs, or just hanging with cats! I will spend lots of time with your pets, making sure they get plenty of playtime and love while you are gone. I am happy to communicate with you on what your pet needs and what works best for you, following your instructions on the best way to keep them happy and healthy in your home.
About: I love dogs but can’t have one of my own where I live so I love dog sitting and dog walking for friends. Eventually the hobby turned into a side gig! I work part time so I am available in the mornings until 9:30, then I have a long lunch break from 12 to 1:30, and I’m free again after 4. So I have lots of time for play visits, bathroom breaks, and walks. I can’t have dogs at my place, so I can only take care of dogs at other peoples homes. I’m happy to spend the night if your dog likes company but just as happy to go home after a night walk.
About: I’ve trained 2 puppies and have had dogs since I was born. I’ve pet sitted for years for friends and family and now that I’m moving to San Diego, I’m looking to find some dogs/pets to spend time with since I don’t have any of my own. I work remote so I’m fairly flexible. I can adapt my schedule to ensure lots of walks and attention. I prefer to pet sit during the week. I can occasionally take care of pets and clients homes. I am respectful of the house and will leave everything as I received it. I make sure the pet is feeling comfortable, fed, and entertained. I especially enjoy going on walks with the pets.
About: Hi, I’m McKenna! I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals and have had dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of mine. I’m also very much a cat person! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and at home. I’m very active and would love to take your dog to the beach, out on a trail, or for a long walk, but I’m just as happy spending the day with a couch potato who would rather lounge in the sun. I’m flexible and happy to follow whatever routine and pace works best for your pet. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable with the extra patience and attention they often require, including medications, mobility limitations, frequent breaks, and established routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet seriously. I’d love to build consistent, long-term relationships with pet parents and become someone you can trust to care for your animals again and again. Whether your pet needs an active companion, a calm presence, or simply someone who will stick to their routine and give them plenty of love, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My schedule is able to be super flexible on a weekly basis so I’m able to work with your needs! Please let me know exactly what you’re looking for and I can try to accommodate! I have a secure, ground-floor one-bedroom unit with a fully fenced patio that connects directly to the living space, giving pets the freedom to move between indoors and outside while still having a safe, contained area to relax. I’m also located near Beacons Beach, so for dogs who enjoy getting out and about, I’d love to take them for a run, walk, or swim in the ocean. I also have access to a larger home that I can utilize depending on the needs and comfort level of each pet. I’m happy to tailor the environment and routine to what works best for your dog or cat, whether they prefer a little more space and activity or a quiet, comfortable place to settle in. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.

About: I bring a unique combination of experience, maturity, reliability, and genuine affection for animals to every house sit. As an experienced sitter with TrustedHousesitters, a longtime business owner, and a former mayor, I've spent much of my life earning people's trust and taking responsibility seriously. I especially enjoy extended stays, where pets can maintain their familiar routines and receive consistent companionship, affection, exercise, and attentive care. I'm active, health-conscious, and love getting outdoors, making me a great companion for dogs who enjoy walks and adventures. I'm equally happy providing a calm, nurturing environment for pets who prefer a slower pace. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires tremendous trust. I'm exceptionally respectful of people's property, attentive to details, and committed to leaving every home as beautiful as I found it. My goal is simple: happy, well-loved pets, a beautifully cared-for home, and complete peace of mind while you're away. When I'm pet sitting, my routine is scheduled around the needs of the pets I care for. I care for myself in the spaces in between. I'm mostly retired so I do a little internet in the morning and some exploring and exercise midday. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I believe animals thrive when their familiar routines are maintained, so I take the time to understand each pet's personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before you leave. When caring for pets in your home, I provide a calm, attentive, and loving presence while respecting their established environment. I'm conscientious about securing doors and gates, maintaining a clean and safe space, and ensuring pets receive plenty of companionship, exercise, playtime, and affection—all tailored to their individual needs. Communication is equally important. I'm happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family members are happy and well cared for. As an experienced house sitter, longtime business owner, and former mayor, I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail. I treat every home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own. **My goal is simple: happy pets, a secure and beautifully maintained home, and complete peace of mind while you're away.**

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cardiff
Laura was incredible. She accommodated a last minute request, scheduled a next day meet and greet and was extremely easy to work with. On top of that, the dogs loved her and she sent photos/videos with every visit. The pups love their new North County sitter.

Simone is wonderful! She took such great care of our senior golden retriever…feeding, walking, and giving her medicine, massages and lots of special attention. Simone is very trustworthy, responsive and communicative, and she sent me photos every day. I recommend her 100%

Cindy’s love for animals was apparent during our meet and greet. Bella LOVED her and immediately asked for pets and belly rubs as soon as she walked in the door! Cindy was very conscientious about asking questions about Bella’s care, she was very reliable and showed up twice a day on time and sent the most ADORABLE pics of Bella playing and having fun. My cat means a lot to me and I don’t like to leave her, and Cindy put my mind at ease that she was given proper attention in my absence. I recommend Cindy to anyone needing quality pet care!

Ari is EXCEPTIONAL!!! We have a VERY uncomfortable 11 yr old pup and do not ever leave her alone. She warmed up to Ari extremely fast. Her communication was excellent. You can instantly tell her love for pups (animals) Couldn’t be happier finding her on this App. We will absolutely be using her in the future and are thrilled with the peace of mind knowing our pup is in incredible hands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Emily was a very attentive and responsive cat sitter, especially considering our request was very last minute. She really went the extra mile checking to make sure her automatic litter box cleaner was functioning correctly and when she noticed it wasn’t working with me to help troubleshoot it. Would recommend anyone looking for reliable pet care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cardiff is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,930 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cardiff. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cardiff. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
