“the most understanding + patient dog sitter we’ve ever encountered. she’s very careful + treats our puppy as though he belongs to her. not only does she go above + beyond with her service, but also goes above + beyond with her attention to detail when it comes to her reports while he’s under her care.”
“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 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.
“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.”
“I was so happy that Anahai was able to dog sit for us on such short notice. I like the fact that it shows where she walked our dog she took pictures and I felt very comfortable with leaving my dog with her. I hope she’s available for future vacations I’d love to have her again.”
“I’m so happy I found Priscilla! She went above and beyond what I asked of her and I couldn’t be any happier. I know my dogs were in wonderful hands with her and I had no doubts. Plus she made my day by blowing up my phone with pictures of my babies. Thank you so much Priscilla!(:”
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 have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can work around almost any animals needs. I work Amazon Flex so I set my own hours and only do 1-2 hr shifts (sometimes multiple times a day). If I leave the house, I am gone for a max of 3-4 hrs or less depending on where I’m delivering to. 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: 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.
About: Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve spent years caring for the dogs of family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine and needs. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Dalmatians and have spent the past eight years raising two friendly, goofy, and well-socialized rescue beagles with my wife. Together we have also fostered rescue dogs for weeks at a time until they found their forever home. As your sitter, I will be your dog’s primary caregiver. I’ll personally handle walks, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine, energy level, and personality, and I’ll make every effort to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. My wife is also a tremendous animal lover who enjoys spending time with every pet she meets, so your dog will benefit from being in a home with two people who genuinely love animals. While I’ll be responsible for all of your pet’s care, they’ll also receive extra affection and companionship throughout their stay. Our home includes a fully fenced backyard patio, and we live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of green space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and respect that we’d want for our own. I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule, typically on East Coast business hours. Most weekdays, I’m available beginning around 2:00 PM for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, potty breaks, and other pet care needs. On days with a lighter meeting schedule, I’m often able to stop by earlier in the day for a walk or visit before returning to work. I occasionally work onsite once a week, but I typically leave the office between 2:00 and 2:30 PM, allowing me to be available for afternoon and evening care. For boarding and in-home pet sitting, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I will be your pet’s primary caregiver, and because my wife works full-time from home, there is almost always someone at our home to provide companionship, supervision, and peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Before every booking, I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or ours, I’ll be your pet’s primary caregiver. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, and lots of affection and attention. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Our home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly. We have a securely fenced backyard patio and two friendly, well-socialized beagles who enjoy the company of other dogs. For cats or pets that prefer a quieter environment, we also have a secure private room where they can relax in their own space away from our dogs if needed. I understand that every pet is unique. Some love adventure and play, while others simply want a calm environment and a predictable routine. I’ll always respect your pet’s individual personality and comfort level and care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention that I give my own animals. For the health and safety of all pets in our home, I ask that visiting dogs and cats be up to date on their vaccinations and flea/tick prevention.
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.
“Kim did an excellent job taking care of Stella. She is confident around dogs and bonded quickly with Stella. She sent me pics and also cleaned up after Stella's outings. Will definitely be calling Kim again!”
About: I’ve lived and cared for animals since I was young. My dad is a veterinarian, so I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life! I had my dog for 15 beautiful years and went through all the ups and downs of a dog parent. I administered her medication and provided as many accommodations and love she needed. Currently, I have one medium haired cat who is shy but incredibly sweet and friendly. I’ve had him since he was a kitten and has adjusted to our own little routine. I know how difficult it can be to leave a furry friend behind, so I’m here to relieve any stress you may have and provide as much comfort and care to your loved one! I currently work part-time so I have a flexible schedule. I’m a grad student, so if I’m not at work or class, I’m usually home hanging out with my cat :) My cat is very low maintenance and is used to dogs but if you prefer for him to be separated from your furry friend I can definitely make sure they are in different rooms! My apartment is pet friendly and has a grass area right upfront as well as a fenced yard they can go out to!
About: Ever since I was young, my love for animals has been unwavering, and that passion continues to define me as an adult. I've always been the go-to person among my family and friends whenever they needed a pet sitter or extra assistance. It wasn't until recently, when a friend referred me to Rover, that I decided to officially extend my help beyond my immediate circle. I do work a full time job, although I work remote and my job is very flexible I’m more focused on Rover on weekends, Friday through Sunday as of right now. I am able to host your pet. I live in a pet friendly apartment. I’m a homebody that enjoys time out in nature. Pet is able to roam comfortably in my home, but if you’d like to use a crate for training purposes that’s ok too.
About: The Kind of Care I'd Want for My Own Pup/Kitty Dogs have been a part of my life for over 20+ years, and caring for them has always come naturally. I grew up with cats and dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets as well as sitting and walking dogs for friends and family. I currently have a 6-year-old Belgian Malinois named Nova, so I'm very familiar with high-energy breeds that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. We enjoy hiking, long walks, trips to the park, and staying active together. Whether your pup/kitty loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I'll tailor their care to fit their personality and routine. I understand that every pup/kitty is unique, and I treat each one with the same patience, attention, and affection I give Nova. My goal is simple: to provide the kind of care I'd want for my own pup/kitty, safe, reliable, loving, and full of fun. I'll make sure you and your pup/kitty feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind. I'm currently furthering my education, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup/kitty. I'm available weekends and weekdays for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks in the comfort of your home. Just message me to arrange! I'll treat your pup/kitty with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. When caring for your pup/kitty in your home, my priority is making sure you and your pup/kitty feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routine. I'll follow all of your care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special preferences or restrictions. I always treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, secure, and leaving it just as I found it. I'll also provide lots of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup/kittie is happy and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet by providing dependable, attentive, and loving care every visit.
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: 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 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 :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chula Vista
the most understanding + patient dog sitter we’ve ever encountered. she’s very careful + treats our puppy as though he belongs to her. not only does she go above + beyond with her service, but also goes above + beyond with her attention to detail when it comes to her reports while he’s under her care.
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!

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.

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.
