“Sara was amazing at taking care of our four dogs while we were away. We felt so lucky knowing that they were in good hands. She went above and beyond to give them extra exercise and attention with each visit and she paid close attention to their needs, health, and medications. She provided wonderful updates with the best details for each check in. Thank you so much, Sara!”

About: I’ve grown up around both big and small dogs, including Labs and Chihuahuas, as well as Dobermans, and German Shepherds. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I currently live with a roommate who has a Lab and a cat, so I’m around both dogs and cats regularly. I’ve also had experience pet sitting for friends, family, and others, and I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I am currently working part-time that is during the day. So I can work evenings, the weekends and sometimes during the week on my days off. My apartment is clean and pretty big. There is a lot of places to walk the dog and go to the bathroom near my apartment

“Call was awesome when I needed a Drop-In for my pup on a relatively short notice. She was attentive to his peculiarities, particularly his colder-shoulder to anyone new in the house - which she handled with ease. Trustworthy, kind and reliable, Call is the exact person you’re looking for to take care of your pets. 10/10 will book again. Thanks Call!”

About: Grew up with rottweilers, great danes, labs, and pitbulls. Also spent lots of time around farm animals with my family or when I volunteer. I am currently a SDHS foster as well! I am a college student working part time so my days usually have many breaks throughout them as my classes usually arent back to back. I have the utmost respect for you and your home and want nothing more than to help you and your pet out with the help needed.

“This was our first time using Rover and Nicole made us so comfortable with the drop in experience. She was on time, provided pics and detailed summary of the visits. Definitely recommend Nicole :)”

About: I have about six years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for my neighbors’ dogs and cats. I have also cared for an older dog, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, and gentle care. I currently have a Rottweiler, French Bulldog, and cat of my own, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different pets and their individual needs. I’m currently only in school! Tues-Thursday class: 12:30-4:45. Wednesday: 3-6:15. Outside those times I’m fully available! I do like to enjoy my weekend nights but I can work around it!! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while they are in my care. I can crate dogs when needed, follow specific feeding schedules, clean up after them, and provide walks and playtime based on their needs. I always make sure doors, gates, backyards, and other potential escape routes are secure. I also keep a clean, calm environment and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Kierstin did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty! She was able to and willing to add the additional care of giving our kitty eye drops twice a day after a recbent eye scratch. She communicated well and gave us lots of updates, which was helpful with our kitty’s health not being 100% while we were gone. We have used her several times and would absolutely use her again!”

Jordyn A.

“Caity is a wonderful cat sitter. Kind, patient communicative, and thorough, she took incredible care of our beloved cat, Kuma, over 2 days. She took the time to get to know Kuma and make him comfortable with her presence. She quickly read his moods and needs, and made Kuma's first extended stint alone as easy as possible for both him and us - going well above and beyond what we had hoped. She sent us multiple fantastic photos and a report on how he was doing each visit - very comforting for two first-time cat owners. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat and are so happy to have found Caity!”

About: I have been around animals since I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and have experience doing drop-in visits for cats and experience dog-walking for others. I have experience with dogs of many varying sizes as well! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have lots of time to care for your pets! I'm available nearly every day with varying hours each day depending on my work schedule. I make sure to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, playtime, and medication instructions carefully while giving pets lots of attention, affection, and supervision. I also keep the home clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, so I’ve always had a love for them my whole life. I love being around them they bring me so much happiness and peace. I have two dogs and two cats back at home and being away from them while in San Diego has only made me want to spend time with others. I also have experience with grooming, walking, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and loved. I’m super excited if given an opportunity to care for and bond with your dog, cat, whatever! You can call or book with me anytime of the week I’ll be there to take care of your friend. I’m super flexible and happy to help! Doesn’t matter on what service you do because I’m all about making sure your pets are happy, healthy, and thriving. I stick to daily walks and a consistent routine to keep things relaxed and stress free.

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and active person who loves spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, puppies, and senior pets, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that puppies may need extra patience and supervision, while senior pets may need a slower pace and additional care. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m a full time college student with a flexible schedule which allows me to which allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week.

I’m organized and responsible about planning ahead, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I always put a pet’s safety and comfort first. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs.

About: Doggy Mama of 10 years for my sweet Wheaten Terrier, Suki! I have been with her for all stages of life: curious puppy, energetic teenager, and mellow adult. This has taught me how to adjust towards whatever needs your pet may have. No matter the attention your furry friend needs— whether it be downtime and cuddles, or zoomies and long walks— I am here to provide! I can administer medication, and will easily adapt to the schedule/routine that your pet requires. I am a sophomore student at San Diego State University, majoring in Criminal Justice. I have classes Monday-Thursday starting at 12:00pm and ending by 4:00pm. I live on campus and have a car so transportation is not an issue. I am able to pet sit at anytime throughout the week that I don’t have classes- and am willing to stay over night and/or through the weekends. Caring for your companion will vary depending on personality and routine but there are definitely some core principles that I carry with me. First one being respect— respect of your home, respect of your animals needs and wants, and respect of your time. I will be present as much as I can be, even if that means just sitting in the same room as them. Another core value, depending on your pet, is exercise. It doesn’t matter if it’s a long walk, a short and slow walk, or even just interacting with toys— something that gets them moving and keeps them entertained. And a big one is love, I promise to absolutely adore your animal and show them kindness in whatever ways they need. That could look like self care: brushing their coat, massaging stiff joints. That could look like affection: rubbing on them, talking to them, and making sure they know i’m here for them. And that could also mean giving them space. Any adjustment that I can make to give you and your pet a smooth experience, I would love to do.

About: I'm a caring, patient animal lover with hands-on experience training my own Aussie Shepherd, who was highly reactive when I got him. Through consistent, patient training, he's transformed — we now go on hikes and even trips to the mall together. That experience taught me how to read a dog's stress signals and adjust my approach to each individual's needs. I also work at a senior living community, where I spend my days building genuine connections with residents through active listening and personalized attention. Whether it's a person or a pet, I bring the same calm, consistent care — and I'd love to bring that same patience and attentiveness to your dog. I'm currently a Biology student at Miramar College working toward transferring to a four-year university, and I balance my coursework and lab hours with part-time work at a senior living community. Pet sitting/walking fits naturally into my routine — it gives me flexible income between classes and shifts while I explore internships in my field, and it's a great way to unwind from a full day of labs and studying. In a client's home, I focus on keeping things as close to your pet's normal routine as possible — feeding times, walk schedules, and any specific habits or triggers you let me know about. I'm observant and patient, so I pay close attention to body language and adjust my approach if a pet seems anxious or unsure of me at first. My experience working with seniors has also sharpened my ability to read subtle cues and respond calmly, which carries over well into how I handle animals who need a little extra reassurance.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for most of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I’ve also been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors here and there over the years, and during Covid, I would watch one of my close neighbor’s dogs for about a year. Now I’m excited to finally turn that passion into my job through Rover. My family has adopted rescue dogs from local shelters since I was 10 years old. Our first dog was Lucy, a sweet Chihuahua mix who completely stole our hearts. A few years later, we welcomed our sweet boy, Axle, into the family. Sadly, we lost both of them last March, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart. Today, I have two adorable little rascals who keep life fun! Fiona is our pit bull mix, and Rocky is our Chihuahua mix. Fiona was one of the most challenging dogs I’ve ever worked with, but with lots of patience, consistency, and love, she has come such a long way. Watching her grow has taught me so much about understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. Every dog deserves kindness, patience, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to giving your furry family member the same care, attention, and affection while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide loving, dependable care for your pets and extra loving attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands.
