About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have enjoyed caring for pets my whole life. I had my sweet girl Stella, a pug, for 13 years. I crate, potty, and recall trained her as a puppy, fed her a balanced diet of vitamins and homemade food throughout her life, and gave her loving, gentle care in her senior hospice years. I’ve also cared for my mom’s boxer for a year and even taught her, her favorite trick… tossing a treat up with her nose and catching it! I’ve looked after my friends’ pets as well, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, senior dogs, birds (parrot), a chameleon, and special mentioned of a disabled Frenchie who needed a little extra help to go potty. I make friends with any neighborhood kitties when they let me. Usually just takes a bit of chicken or turkey. Lol I am happy to say that I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can work around almost any needs. Let me know what works for you! I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that giving their family peace of mind makes leaving them just a little bit easier.
About: Hi! I’m Miya :) Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I feel comfortable with small to medium dogs of any disposition — couch potatoes to high-energy pups. As a lover of all animals, I’m also comfortable with any other friends you might have: birds, lizards, fish, cats, you name it! I work part-time but as long as you book with me a week in advance, I’ll do my best to put your furry family member first :) I currently have a part-time job, but with a work schedule that comes out every 2-3 hours and flexible hours — and as long as you book with me a week in advance — I’ll find the time to put your furry family members first :) While I don’t offer in-home services at the moment, I’ll be sure to prioritize the care of your pet within the comfort of their own home as well as the privacy of the human residents. If you have any concerns at all regarding me in your space, just let me know!
“Brandee is so caring towards my puppy. She always makes sure that she is well taken care of and gives her so much attention. Brandee genuinely cares about dogs and I always know she's in great hands when she comes to check on my puppy. Definitely reccomend her to everyone! ”
About: I have had pets since I was a child, I have taken care of my pets, for now I don't have pets, I hope soon, I have even taken care of fish and also plants, but I love animals and all pets and I love old dogs that want many kisses I currently have a part-time job so I can take care of your puppy while you work during the day, and easily if you allow me your pet could sleep with me one day if necessary At the moment I don't have a pet, so all the attention would be for your pet, and if I have a shared patio space, but there are no pets in the area your dog could play with my teenage daughters and would have a lot of love to receive
“Tori was so caring to my little guy. She updated me on his potty breaks as well as played fetch with him and took pictures! Will be using her services in the future :)”
About: 5+ years experience taking care of dogs and cats. Respectful and great time management skills. Loves long walks and grew up in a two dog household. I currently work at UCSD, and I work from 7-3:30. I love winding down with a dog walk, or pet care. I am available weekends as well! I am comfortable walking any size of dog. I volunteer at an animal shelter, so I have experience housing dogs and cats! I love playing in home with dogs too if walking isn’t suitable for them.
“I can’t say enough good things about Rebecca, she has been awesome - used her for over 2 years a dozen times (or more). She’s highly responsible and professional (never once missed an appointment or canceled), skilled (she has on multiple occasions dealt with typical pet issues that come up (I.e my dog had a hotspot that she identified and rectified), and above all else kind (my dogs love her, not that they wouldn’t love anyone that gives them food but she is always upbeat and playful with them.) you can truly tell she enjoys being around pets and it goes far beyond a job for her. Thanks for all your help!”
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since I can remember! I am the go-to for my family to walk, feed, and play with our family dogs when my parents are out of town. I am known to friends and family as incredibly trustworthy and reliable. I love dogs (of all shapes and sizes) and would be delighted to take care and play with yours! Any instructions that are left for me will be followed to ensure that your furry animal has the best care! I am currently working a full time job! That being said, I am available on weekdays after 5pm and available anytime on the weekends (friday-sunday) I have easily accessible street access to take dogs out! Secure and private deck for doggie sunbathing and I can crate your dog if necessary!
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.
“Anahi is a fantastic dog sitter! She always checks in at each visit with her ETA, an overview of the visit about walks/feeding etc, and sends cute pictures! She is flexible and great at communication and giving your pet love and care 😊 Thank you so much again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve had pets my entire life and regularly pet sit for friends, family, and others who trust me to care for their fur babies like my own. I also have experience volunteering with animals and fostering pets throughout my life, which has helped me become comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and special care needs. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and truly love spending time with animals — whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles, administering basic care, or simply making them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m based in La Mesa/San Diego and willing to travel to surrounding areas. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family.
About: Howdy, I WFH and would love to spend the day with your pet. I'm a photo enthusiast so you wont miss a cute moment with them. New to the San Diego area and accepting new clients. I live in a one bedroom cottage in a fenced yard and nearby Azalea parks for walks. I WFH and don't have too many meetings. Thus I am available most of the day for walking, feeding, and pets. I enjoy the companionship of having animals around. My daily routines are : Wake up Walk and catch sunrise Work thru the day with walking breaks Happy hour social groups or events Dinner Home and sleep *repeat*
About: Hi there! My name is Audrey Wall. I’m excited to use my passion and experience with animals for your pets. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I’ve had the best experience of sitting a variety of dogs back in 2021. I had to pause my sitter duties because of my active duty status, but now that I’m retiring, I’d love the opportunity to watch your pets. While my services are limited to daily walking and drop-in visits, the love and care I’ll provide are limitless! I understand what it can feel like to be worried about your pet being home alone while you’re away, so please allow me to put your mind at ease! My schedule is flexible, so I will always try to move my daily tasks to fit your needs! All I ask is for clear and frequent communication. I live in a single-family residence with a large grass backyard. I have a 90 lb, 8 year old rescue who is not friendly with other animals, so unfortunately, I cannot do in-sitter home boarding.
About: Hi! I’m a loving and attentive pet caregiver who treats every doggie like family. I make sure your pup feels safe, happy and comfortable while you’re away— whether it’s playtime, walks or just extra cuddles. I’m currently available most days and have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate your pets needs, including last-minute bookings. Please feel free to message me with any questions! Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure and loving environment where pets can feel at home.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of experience since 11 years old when my mother would petsit the neighbor's dogs. I've cared for dogs at many stages of life, from newborn puppies to sweet 10 year old senior pups! I understand each pet has their own unique needs, and I will always commit to providing attentive, compassionate care for each and every one. It's what a good pup deserves! Out of highschool and looking to spend more time doing something I enjoy while supporting my goals! Free every week with plenty of time for playing and caring for your fur babies ♡ I have a fenced front yard and 3 dogs in the house. Whether you want your pup to make new friends, be comfortable in their crate, or seperated from the dogs, whatever is best for them, I'll do with no problem! Food, playtime, walks, and cuddles will be provided to all pups whether at my home or yours. Just tell me what you need and I'll deliver!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. Now that my daughter has moved out (and took the family dogs with her), my home feels way too quiet. I’m an empty nester with lots of love, time, and patience to give to your pup. I live in a calm, quiet neighborhood and have a large, secure backyard with plenty of space to roam, sniff, and relax—perfect for dogs who love being outdoors but also enjoy a cozy place to rest. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, medications if needed, baths, and lots of affection. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home while you’re away. I’m retired and home most of the day, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m a homebody who truly enjoys spending time with animals. The only time I regularly leave the house is briefly to pick up my granddaughter from daycare. If a dog enjoys being out and about, I’m happy to include them in walks, outings, or dog-friendly errands—whether that’s a neighborhood stroll, a park visit, or a café stop. Of course, I always follow each owner’s preferences and only take dogs out if they’re comfortable and approved to do so. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood in the Terranova area of Chula Vista with very little traffic. My home has a large, secure backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. I supervise all outdoor time and carefully follow each dog’s routine, leash rules, and care instructions. Whether your dog prefers staying close to home or enjoys safe, dog-friendly outings, my goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where they feel secure, included, and truly at home.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my professional experience working with animals in a shelter environment for over four years. During that time, I cared for dogs, cats, and small pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m Fear Free Certified and committed to handling animals in a way that minimizes stress and helps them feel safe and comfortable. I’m confident working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who may be reactive, shy, fearful, or impulsive. I understand how important patience, body language awareness, and calm handling are for building trust with animals who need a little extra support. Whether it’s energetic puppies, sensitive dogs, independent cats, or tiny foster kittens, I strive to provide thoughtful, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits daily after 4:30 PM, as well as all day on Fridays and Saturdays. Whether your pet needs an evening walk, a check-in while you’re working late, or extra attention before the weekend, I’m happy to help provide reliable, caring support for you and your pets. I provide dog walks and drop-in visits directly from your home, allowing your pet to stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. During each visit, I focus on providing attentive care, exercise, and companionship to help keep your pet happy while you’re away.
About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Chula Vista is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chula Vista
Brandee is the absolute best! She replied to my booking so fast. Eventhough she wasn't available for the entire booking, she actively searched for friends who could help. Other sitters just turned down the request, or didn't reply. We agreed on some days that would work. The request was to care for tiny, sick, shelter kittens. The job was not easy, it involved an application to the animal shelter, wearing full protective gear, coordinating with the foster coordinator, and then caring for sick kittens. She handled it like a pro! She found her way in and worked with the kittens and even sent pictures. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Shannon did amazing. She handled my sifting pellet wood litter so well with it being her first time, gave my baby ample amounts of attention and love. Communication was frequent alongside cute pictures of my sweetie. Wish I could book you again. Have fun up north 🖤
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!
Anjelica was great! I booked her last minute and she was super accommodating, setting up a meet and great quickly. She was very communicative, followed all guidelines and provided updates with lots of photos. I felt comfortable leaving my cat under her care while I was away and was able to enjoy my time knowing all was being taken care of back home. Thanks again! 🐈⬛
Belinda watched my cat, Bella, for about 3 weeks and she did fantastic! Bella warmed up to her right away. Belinda was great about sending photos and making sure Bella’s food, water, and litter were taken care of. It made me feel much better knowing that there was such a caring person looking after my girl. I’d be happy to book 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!
Deborah was always on time with the drop ins and has amazing communication, she stopped by more than once before the booking to make sure everything would go smoothly when she was looking after my dog, very thoughtful of my dog and made sure she stayed comfortable and happy and her pup solana is an added bonus she is very sweet and a calming presence!
Chris did a lovely job taking care of my 11 month old skittish kitten. She was reliable and her photos of her visits were cute and comforting. My cat was super calm when we came back, and her visits twice a day must have been soothing. I dont travel very much, but I would definitely re-book with her if a chance to vacation came up.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Chula Vista on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 8,638 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chula Vista. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Chula Vista stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Chula Vista. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
