“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! ”
“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.”
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.
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.
“Once again, Anahi has excelled as our fur baby’s caretaker! We are extremely grateful for her. She goes above and beyond and we appreciate how communicative she is. We will continue to book with Anahi for as long as we can!”
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: I grew up with my own pets and have always loved animals. One of my favorite things about them is that no two pets are ever the same. Every animal has their own personality and their own way of showing you what they need. I began working with animals in 2020 as a kennel technician. I cared for pets while they were boarding and made sure they were fed, comfortable and clean while still feeling loved away from home. I later gained experience assisting veterinary technicians and caring for pets in a veterinary hospital. I helped with routine appointments, medications and emergencies. I also worked in veterinary reception and became familiar with many different aspects of pet care. I love caring for all kinds of animals. That includes energetic dogs and puppies who love to explore as well as pets who would rather relax at home and spend time with a companion. I also have a special place in my heart for senior pets. My oldest dog is 20 years and is still happy, playful and full of personality. Although he is now blind and deaf, he still has the heart and spirit of a puppy. Over the years we have learned how to adapt to his needs and help him confidently get around. He has taught me so much about patience, understanding and how much joy our pets can bring to our lives at every age. I know how much your pets mean to you because I feel the same way about my own. I treat every pet I care for like they are my own. I want you to feel confident knowing they are receiving the same love, patience and attention I would want for my pets. I would love the opportunity to get to know your companion and care for them just as you would while you are away. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide your pets with care, attention and walks around their usual routines. I can also provide consistent play breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. On weekends especially, I love being active and exploring new parks and places. If your pet is energetic and loves an adventure, I would be happy to bring them along! If they would rather stay home and snuggle, they will get plenty of affection from me too. I know that leaving your pet with someone else is not always easy. Your pets are family and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. When I meet a new pet, I always pay attention to their body language and take the time to understand what makes them comfortable. Some pets are excited to meet someone new while others may need more time to warm up. I do everything I can to meet each pet where they are and adapt to their individual needs. During walks, drop-in visits and house sitting, I will follow your pet's usual routines and your instructions as closely as possible. I will make sure they receive the care, exercise, attention and love they need while keeping you updated along the way. My goal is not only to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and comfortable but also to give you peace of mind while you are away. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is well cared for and hopefully not miss them too much! When house sitting, I understand that I am also caring for your home. I will treat your space with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
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.
“Elizabeth is such a light in this world! She is so incredibly kind and thoughtful. She went out of her way during a hard time to make sure everything went as smoothly as it could be. I 100% trust her and would absolutely hire her again if I need to! Highly recommend her!”
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: ⸻ Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. Whether it’s a playful walk, a quiet cuddle, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, so they can stay happy and stress-free in your absence. You can count on me for reliability, clear communication, and plenty of updates so you always know your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a caring, familiar presence while you’re apart. I just adopted my Chiweenie, Cabbage, in February. I just quit my job of 3 years to find myself and do things I love. I’m looking forward to this new adventure very much I am very observant and mindful and will always have the pets’ best interest at heart. You deserve peace of mind when leaving your pet in my care and I can provide that!

“Tatiana took great care of my fur babies. She made sure my dog and cat were happy and comfortable while my husband and I were away overnight.

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!

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.
