“Nora came over to play with my two dogs while I was away for the day. She was responsible, trustworthy and easy to communicate with. The dogs were so happy when I came home. Would definitely book with Nora again!”

About: I’ve been walking dogs and dog sitting since I was 15. I have lots of experience with friends and family pets that I have watched for multiple days. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them! I’m currently a student and working part time during the week. I have lots of gaps in my days though to walk and watch your dogs! I live in a back house with a medium sized fenced in backyard. I also live in a nice community perfect for going on walks!

“Stella is awesome! She is responsible, sweet, and patient with Arlo. She arrives on time and with a positive attitude. I love that Stella takes lots of great pictures - Arlo looks like he had a blast on their walks. So glad we found her!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two! I have been relied on by friends and family as a petsitter for about four years. I am comfortable and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs; one of my dogs is a 110 pound Bernese, and I have petsit multiple times for a senior diabetic dog who required insulin shots. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I am available more often than not and am committed to making pet care a priority. I am attending San Diego State University, but with my current light class schedule, I have the ability to make the needs of the pets I’m caring for my top priority. Whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m able to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime and attention, and go on walks or get bathroom breaks as needed. I also keep the home tidy, respect your space, and always communicate with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

About: Hi! I just moved to San Diego from OC with my 4 year old Goldendoodle Willow (who I’ve raised since she was 8 weeks old) to get my masters in social work. She loves hanging with new dogs of all sizes! At home, my mom has two dogs and I’ve been dog sitting for years now. I’ve always been an animal lover and truly enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like part of the family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns I’d love to help! Because I have a puppy at home, I have managed my schedule around her needs and can do the same for your pups! I have all the free time working remote, I’d love to hangout with your dogs and I know my dogs would too! My yard is fully fenced in with lots of area to run. Our home is one story and I work from home, so I’ll be with them the whole time!

About: Hi! I’m Andrew, a student at San Diego State University who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. I’m reliable, responsible, and active, making me a great fit for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’ve helped neighbors in the past with dog-sitting and have only had positive reviews! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’ll also be working part-time, but I only have two classes each week, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits. I’ll always keep my Rover calendar updated so you know exactly when I’m available. I know pets are part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I can remember. I trained my corgi when he was a puppy and even taught my cat some tricks! I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I believe that all pets deserve to feel loved, comfortable, and safe while their owners are away! I’m currently a college student, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have time all throughout the day, from the morning to the evening, to play with them! Having pets of my own, I understand the importance of routines and sticking to a schedule. I will ensure that your pets feel safe, loved, and normal while you are gone. I always prioritize making sure that pets are comfortable around me and will do anything it takes to ensure that they are.

About: I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Poodle mix, so I know firsthand how nerve wracking it is to hand your dog off to someone you don't know. I get it! I'm not just a sitter, I'm a dog owner who actually understands what you're trusting someone with. And as a Great Dane owner, giant breeds and big personalities are my comfort zone. No size is going to phase me! I run my own creative business, so my schedule is genuinely flexible in a way that most sitters can't offer. No 9 to 5 I'm working around. I can typically accommodate drop ins and walks at times that actually work for you, not just whatever's left in my day. I'm the dog mom who leaves a five page document for my own sitters, so trust me, no request is too silly. Special feeding routine? Weird little habit your dog has that you think "how will I explain this to the dog sitter"? I want to know. I'll follow it. And I always send photo updates so you're not just sitting there wondering how your pup is doing.

About: I helped take care of my first family dog for 10 years and I adopted a super sweet shelter dog last year. I unfortunately had to leave her at home with my parents while I attend college out here in San Diego so I am always happy for any opportunity to get some time with any furry friends. I love taking care of pets and helping them be as happy and healthy as possible! I just finished my 3rd year at SDSU studying Civil Engineering and this summer and I am going my first internship. With that, I am busy during weekdays but I am available weekends. Being around furry friend always helps me destress so I would love to house sit during the weekends! My availability lists Saturday and Sunday as I cannot do full days on Friday, but I am available after 6PM! I am able to maintain feeding and exercise schedules, make sure that there are no possible dangers to pets either in house or out and about on walks, and I just generally love spending time with animals to give them the care and engagement they need and deserve.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I have over 7 years of hands-on experience with both big and small dogs, including owning an Old English Sheepdog whom I regularly took on long walks, beach trips, and hikes. I’m comfortable with energetic pups who need exercise as well as senior dogs who require patience and gentle care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and safety, and I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. My goal is always to make your dog feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my pet care commitments to ensure each visit, walk, or stay gets my full attention and is never rushed. I’m organized, punctual, and make sure pets receive consistent care at the times they’re used to. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and playtime are already a regular part of my routine. This allows me to comfortably care for both high-energy dogs who need exercise and more relaxed or senior pets who need a slower pace.

About: I’ve been caring for and walking dogs ever since I was 10. I’ve handled both puppies and older dogs. I love spending time with all dogs and making them feel as special as they are. By giving walks, cuddles, and attention your dog is sure to feel happy and safe with me I’m taking online classes which makes me currently completely available and flexible to taking care of your pets. I can adjust to whatever you need in order to take care of your furry friend. Walks, playtimes, and attention anytime during the day will bring me absolute joy. When caring for your furry friends, I will treat your space as such I do mine. I will follow your instructions carefully and ensure that I leave you home as you left it. I will provide updates whenever taking care of your pets and make sure your furry friends receives the love they deserve

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life by dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and at 40+ years in, my love for them has only grown. I've pet sat for many households and have a natural ability to handle all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I'm a verified member of Trusted House Sitters (in which the primary is pet sitting), and I take that seriously. I'm experienced with medically complex pets. I've administered subcutaneous fluids, insulin injections, and oral medications. I also have cared for special needs animals including a three-legged seizure-prone Chihuahua, a teacup Chihuahua with broken elbows, and a German Shepherd with cow-hocks disease. If your pet has extra needs, they're in capable hands. My approach is calm, grounded, and playful and animals feel it. I'm a certified hypnotherapist and life coach, and the same energy awareness and patience I bring to people, I bring to pets. Anxious, shy, and difficult animals tend to soften around me naturally. My sister didn't call me the Cat and Dog Whisperer for nothing. :D I have a soft spot for the ones others overlook. I've rescued an abandoned Chihuahua-Terrier, adopted a shelter pup, and my two boys Bruce and Charlie came to me as feral kittens nobody else wanted. Every animal deserves patience, consistency, and genuine love and that's exactly what I bring to every walk and drop-in. I'm a San Diego local with regular availability in LA County as well, so wherever you are, I've got you covered. My schedule is flexible and I'm available most weekdays and select weekends, morning through evening. I don't operate on a rigid 9-to-5, which means I can work around your pet's needs rather than the other way around. Outside of pet care, I'm an active, outdoorsy person and love hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding. That energy carries directly into every walk and drop-in. Your dog won't just get a stroll around the block, they'll get someone who genuinely loves being outside and moving. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities always. I follow your established routines closely and take detailed instructions seriously. Every home, every pet, and every owner is different, and I respect that. When I'm in your home I treat it with care. I leave things as clean or cleaner than I found them. Your space and your pet's environment will be respected. I'm extremely mindful of doors and escape artists. I know how quickly a curious pet can bolt, and I create my own blockades when needed to make sure no one slips out unexpectedly. I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs simultaneously including large, high-energy breeds. I've walked a Rottweiler and German Shepherd together, both with strong pulling tendencies, and handled them with confidence. You'll never wonder how your pet is doing. I send photos and updates daily including sometimes multiple times a day because I know how much you miss them and how much it means to see a happy face pop up on your phone. I also have hands-on experience with pet first aid, including applying Quik Stop for bleeding so minor mishaps are handled calmly and quickly without panic. Your home, your routines, your pet I've got all of it handled.

About: I have experience with taking care of animals since high school, I am now a 25 year old grad student ready to continue my experience! I am on summer break from my grad program at SDSU, so my currently schedule is extremely flexible. I have my availability open all summer! I am open to catering to the needs of your fur babies! I’ve been trusted with all kinds of tasks & I am sure I can take on whatever you may need.

“Aria has watched and cared for Sierra prior to me joining rover. She has done a great job communicating with me and taking care of Sierra. This included overnights and giving her a pill each day. She has a dog of her own named Millie who gets along with Sierra.”

“I hired Zane to walk my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Zane was consistently punctual, always arriving on time to pick up and drop off my dog. He also had excellent communication throughout the entire process, providing me with updates on my dog's well-being and behavior during the walk. What really impressed me was the level of detail in Beni’s updates. He would let me know where they walked, how long they walked for, and if my dog had any issues or special needs during the walk. It was clear that he truly cared about my dog's well-being and was attentive to his needs. Overall, I highly recommend Zane as a dog walker. His punctuality, excellent communication, and attention to detail make him a reliable and trustworthy choice for anyone in need of pet care services.”

“Andrea is great with Maverick. He's very needy and has separation anxiety. She has great patience in getting Maverick to leave the house when he doesn't want to. Thank you Andrea!”

About: Greetings, and welcome! I’m Eucalyptus your Fur Baby Godmother. Animals have been the greatest joy of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for pets of all kinds, and for the past 8 years I’ve had the privilege of providing professional pet care for families who trust me with their beloved companions. My experience includes dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rabbits, ferrets, farm animals, aquatic pets, and many other exotic species. I’ve also cared for senior pets, puppies and kittens, pets with special needs, and animals that require extra patience, medication, or individualized attention. What makes me different is the connection I build with each animal. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and way of communicating. I take the time to earn their trust, making sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, anxious, or simply enjoys quiet company, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. Over the years I’ve helped reinforce good manners, redirect unwanted behaviors through positive interactions, and create calm, enriching experiences that help pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Pet care isn’t just something I do it’s my full-time passion. When your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is receiving dependable, compassionate, one-on-one care. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and extended stays, making me a great fit for vacations, business trips, weekend getaways, or whenever your pet simply deserves a loving companion. I can’t wait to meet you and your wonderful animal family. Until then, may your pets be happy, your travels be worry-free, and a little Fur Baby Godmother magic follow you wherever you go. My schedule is pretty open because caring for pets is what I genuinely enjoy doing. I tend to have a little more flexibility than the average person, so I’m usually able to work around different routines whether that means an early-morning drop-in, a spontaneous trip, a last-minute change of plans, or a cozy little sleepover. I like having the time to actually be there with the pets I care for. Not just stopping by, checking a box, and rushing off. I enjoy the little things getting to know their personalities, following their routines, giving them attention, and letting them feel like they have a little vacation of their own while their humans are away. So if your fur baby needs someone with a flexible schedule, a calm presence, and plenty of time for cuddles, playtime, or simply keeping them company… you may have found your person. I’ve always felt like animals have their own little language, and I genuinely enjoy learning their way of communicating. When a pet comes into my care, I like to meet them where they are. Some babies need structure and routine, some need a little extra patience, and others simply want someone to sit beside them while they decide you’re their new best friend. I follow the routines and care instructions their humans have created for them whether that means crate time, potty training, medication routines, playtime, socializing, quiet time, or plenty of cuddles. Their comfort and safety always come first. I’m also someone who naturally spends a lot of time outdoors, so I love having little adventures with my animal companions walks, fresh air, exploring, sunbathing, or just sitting outside together and watching the world go by. And my definition of a “pet” has never been limited to cats and dogs. I’ve cared for animals of all different personalities, sizes, ages, and species, including exotic pets. I find their little quirks fascinating and enjoy giving each animal the kind of care that makes sense for them. If your baby happens to enjoy a bubble bath, treats, an afternoon adventure, or an unreasonable amount of affection… well, they may have just found their favorite babysitter. I’ve jokingly been called the female version of Dr. Dolittle. I’ll take it. Really, I think animals simply know when someone genuinely enjoys being around them. And I’m very happy to be living in their world. Overnight stays are always welcome, too.

“Jessica really made me feel comfortable leaving our dog home. Great communication, execution, pictures and love to Milo! 10/10 would use again!”
