“Jordan is a wonderful sitter. She looked after my senior dog and followed all instructions and made sure he was cared for. She was respectful of our home and I appreciated the frequent updates and photos.”

“I had a great experience with Chunli! She was incredibly considerate of my home and treated it with the utmost respect while caring for my dog. I truly appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and photos — it was so reassuring to see how well taken care of my pup was while I was away. I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and my home were in great hands.”

“She was great. Unfortunately, had some issues with my dog during my time away. She acted promptly and brought her to the vet within minutes of alerting me of the problem. Very responsible.”

“Lizbeth was amazing! She really went above and beyond for my cat and she took such great care of him, was super responsive, and sent me the cutest photos and videos every day. It was his first birthday while she was taking care of him and she even got him a birthday hat and bandana and sent me the best photos ever, genuinely could not recommend anyone more!”

“Luis was so great! He was super communicative, and gave updates/photos on how both of the dogs were doing. We are incredibly grateful to have found him, and will be booking with him in the future!”

“Alexa just watched our golden retriever Ruby, and she did a great job! Ruby is really calm and happy, and the house looks great. We’d definitely hire Alexa again. Highly recommend!”


About: Hello! I am an animal lover who has recently relocated to the SD area. I regularly have sat for family, friends, and word of mouth recommendations for over a decade. I have cared for pets as small as tree frogs to a home with multiple large pit bull mixes, to a diabetic cat in need of insulin injections twice a day. Whatever type of pet you have I promise to love them as much as I love my own! I am currently at home full time. I regularly take walks to get out of the house and would love to have a companion join me! I love animals and couldn’t imagine spending my day in a better way than with them! I do have my own cat which means for multi day jobs I would occasionally want to visit her (my partner is there to care for her) but I am available to spend majority of the time at a clients home. I have a fenced back yard for your animal to run around in. I would keep your pet in the living room and kitchen are with me while I leave the bedrooms for my cat. I love going on walks so I will be more than happy to take your dogs out with me ( no dog parks or off leash areas).
“Stephanie was fantastic with my sweet and spicy Cattle Dog. Went above and beyond, kept me informed with great photos, cleaned up and washed bedding (didn’t have to). I’ll definitely use her again!”

“Bob was an amazing sitter for our corgi and husky! He was on time for both the meet & greet and the actual booking, and was very professional and kind throughout the entire experience. He sent us multiple daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear both dogs were getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Our corgi usually gets extra emotional when we come home, but this time she seemed so happy and relaxed, which really showed us how well cared for they were. Our house was also left in great condition. We’re very happy with Bob and will definitely book with him again!”


About: Wondering why my rate might be different than another sitter’s? Rover takes a huge portion of the price you see listed. Please feel free to message me about services i can provide or waive; and I am more than willing to negotiate a fair price depending on the level of care your pup needs! I am able to provide a luxury boarding service at a beautiful, large, home with a massive pet safe backyard! We even have a pool if your pup loves to swim. I provide basic training (unless you prefer I don’t!) and I have a bachelors in art from a prestigious university- so I will provide as many photos and videos as you’d like for free- and can also offer photo shoot and portrait painting (either digital or traditional) services, which can be great for getting your pup at their most comfortable when meeting a photographer or painter! I can provide one on one time, I never leave dogs alone unless requested, and I provide your dog all the cuddles and playtime they want! Since it can be better for both me and you, we can negotiate rates for all services based on your preferences- I won’t ask you to pay for something your pup wouldn’t benefit from! I am American Red cross Cat and Dog First Aid certified, updated very recently. I’ve taken care of my family pets since I was four years old, and got my first dog of my own, a teacup yorkie named Sophie, who was my support dog when I was around 13 years old. Ever since then I’ve had a wonderful support dog named Tommy, and now I currently am training my dog Stevie and my puppy, Chloe to be psychiatric service dogs, working with a professional trainer who thinks I’m a natural! I am a great trainer and I am more than happy to offer that service if you’d like, but i’m not a certified trainer yet! I know pet first aid and cpr. I also had another puppy who lived for just under a year, who passed during a routine anesthesia procedure, which was devastating, but now I know she lives on in my puppy Chloe. I am disabled (chronic lower back pain) but i have mobility aids, can walk around your home/my home unaided, can carry small dogs if requested, and can take your pup out as many times as you’d like. I have a HUGE backyard with plenty of grass, and so I can play with the pups/be outside with them as much as you’d like! Currently in the house here I have Stevie and Chloe, but they can be crated/in a separate part of the house as much as you’d like. I will have one of my parents home so they can keep them 100% completely out of sight if that’s your preference! I’m looking to become a dogsitter because, honestly, dogs are my favorite, and i love connecting with dogs with positive reinforcement and love! I’m so beyond excited for the opportunity to meet your dogs! (And maybe even paint them for you, too!) I currently work remotely part time so i’ll be home all day and all night, and i make my own hours so I can take pretty much any job, any time, for any length of time. When i’m at home without any other pups here, I take care of my dogs Stevie and Chloe full time. They sleep with me (unless you’d rather your pup sleep up here!) so have special puppy guards on the bed so they don’t accidentally fall off while they sleep up here ever! If you’d like, i can keep my dogs with one of my parents so your pups don’t interact. I have a big fenced yard that not even the smallest puppy could get out from! I have two extremely well behaved soon to be service dogs that i’m currently training, They are very small Yorkies, Stevie is 6 years old and about 7 pounds, and Chloe is 5 months and about 2.5 pounds. They can be involved as much or as little as you prefer, but all dogs in our home need to be fully vaccinated please. In your home, I would do everything a dog needs, I’d make sure water is full and available 24/7, i’d take your pups out for playing/potty breaks as often as you’d prefer, i’d feed them and give medication if needed (i have lots of experience giving puppies, adult, and senior dogs medications!) If you let me know your preferences, i’m sure i can treat your dog with so much care and love, and help them feel their routines aren’t too different then they are with you, if that’s your preference! And I LOVE dog cuddles, and cat cuddles! Also, my brother is a vet tech that works at Rancho Bernardo Vetrinary Clinic so I have him, my vet, and my trusted vet emergency hospital all on speed dial, just in case! If needed I can hop in a car and take your pups to the park, the vet, the er, to get groomed, etc. (I will never put your dog in my car without consent, of course!!)
“Manuela was wonderful. She was on time, kind, made our dog feel comfortable, took him on multiple walks and made sure he had all he needed to feel safe and happy while we were away. I would definitely recommend Manuela! Thank you for taking such great care of our dog!”

About: What sets me apart is how much care and attention I give to each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn their age, personality, and daily routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I have experience with puppies and enjoy helping reinforce basic training like house routines, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and truly love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾 I usually wake up around 5am to take the dogs out for their morning walks and that lasts about 30-60 minutes. Since I work from home most days, I sometimes take them for an afternoon walk if they are feeling very energetic. We have a little play ground we let them go to bring out their zoomies before coming back in. Around 4-5pm, we always go to the park close to our neighborhood to let our furry friends play with each other and socialize! In the days it rainy, we usually take a longer walk around the neighborhood. I care for pets by prioritizing their safety, routine, and overall well-being, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication administration, exercise needs, and any behavioral or medical considerations. I ensure pets have a clean, comfortable environment, fresh water at all times, and appropriate physical and mental stimulation.
“Kaylan was an amazing sitter from start to finish! If my dogs could write this rating, I’m sure they’d give her 5 stars. She sent frequent updates, lots of pictures, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions whenever she needed clarification, which gave me peace of mind. She even took my pups on little adventures to explore new parks and treated them to pup cups, with permission of course! It’s obvious they were cared for, and got lots of love and attention while we were away at work. I came home to 2 happy pups and a cared for home. Would definitely recommend Kaylan for a reliable, caring sitter and happily booking her again!”

“Josette is our go-to sitter for our pup Lou. She is wonderful with Lou and he is always so excited to see her. She has stayed in our home for multiple nights and everything is always tip-top when we return. She is the best and we feel fortunate to have found Josette.”


About: I love every animal as if they’re my own! I’ve grown up surround by animals my entire life, so pet sitting was a no brainer! I have experience with both Cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, & seniors! I work full time but can try to make anything work around my schedule! I am a manager, so I get to make my own work hours. In the past, I’ll be able to walk dogs on my lunch breaks - or if needed, I’ll take a break from work. I know animals are more than just pets and they deserve nothing but the best care. I like to stick to pet’s normal routines as much as possible (when walking or dog sitting). And I like to give as many belly rubs that I can get in (if possible)
“This was our second time using Eli and he was great! Very good communication and daily updates with pictures of Kopi! I’m sure Kopi will be excited to see him again soon and know we feel very comfortable having Eli watch him!”


“Brooke was excellent! She took great care of our cats including giving insulin injections to our stubborn diabetic one! We look forward to having her care for our cats again!”

“Patricia did a fantastic job house sitting for my kitten. It was during the winter snowstorm of 2019. I was a bit concerned since nobody anticipated the snowstorm. I returned home and everything was in normal condition. My kitten was also very happy to have Patricia cat sitting.”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Carmel Valley is $63

Lizbeth was amazing! She really went above and beyond for my cat and she took such great care of him, was super responsive, and sent me the cutest photos and videos every day. It was his first birthday while she was taking care of him and she even got him a birthday hat and bandana and sent me the best photos ever, genuinely could not recommend anyone more!

Yelena once again was wonderful with our dogs. She is exceptionally detail-oriented, and extremely focused on our pets' needs. She also provided lots of photos and kept us informed of each day's activities. Our dogs love Yelena, and we will definitely use her again! Thank you, Yelena!!

Rachel is very experienced with dogs, especially large dogs. Ours is particular; Rachel got down on her level at their first meeting, and it was all good from there on! She kept us updated with photos and notes during her stay. I will definitely call Rachel the next time we need a dog sitter!

Yaxsarie has been the best caretaker to our one year old German shepherd. Our dog is adopted and has separation anxiety from previous trauma. We asked Yaxsarie to watch our dog on very short notice and she was immediately responsive and fully available to help, filling in every need we had. Her warm demeanor made my dog feel comfortable immediately and she put our minds at ease. She has watched our dog in our home and is respectful, clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Yaxsarie and am so grateful for her professional care of our dog.

Sandra was absolutely incredible during our recent overnight trip. From the moment we got home, I could tell the boys were beyond happy — relaxed, loved, and completely themselves. And somehow, her sweet pup Koko and my dogs are now officially best friends. She took care of everything so seamlessly it felt like she had always been part of our routine. I came home after a long work trip to a spotless house, clean sheets and towels, and very content pups. I was honestly in heaven. The boys are definitely missing Sandra and Koko today. 💛 If you’re lucky enough to book her, you’ll understand exactly how we feel. She gets off-the-charts stars from me — huge thank you, Sandra! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Patrick was great! Excellent communication! Both super responsive and terrific at sending photos and updates. We especially appreciate his athleticism as we have two extremely active pups. They are used to taking long walks and Patrick was willing to take them on their favorite hike. We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with Patrick and look forward to having him back again!
Marie took on a big order to support our furbabies. Marie stayed in our home with our new puppy, very geriatric dog, and our sweet husky. Plus 2 cats. What she provided was support for a family healing post breast cancer, caring for her furfamily in very challenging stages at the same time. We were provided beautiful videos, kind and compassionate words, that eased the stress to allow her healing. We are so grateful to Marie.
