About: I have years of experiencing fostering rescues, volunteering at the animal shelter, sitting for friends’ dogs, and of course raising my own beautiful golden retriever. I love dogs of all sizes and ages, from the unruly puppies to the grumpy seniors. Dogs are just the best all around. I currently work from home full-time. I have lots of time to dedicate to pups on walks or drop ins. My work schedule is pretty lax and I can plan around my calls easily. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly easygoing pup who likes to lounge around all day. I prioritize walks and exercise for all dogs who are able. I always feed dogs separately to avoid any kind of resource guarding.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs for 18 years ranging for 3month olds to senior dogs. From handling potty training to putting on diapers for the older pups. I am good with big and small dogs. I am an active person so I enjoy taking them on walks. I also have experience with calm tempered dogs as well as more aggressive dogs. I am happy to talk more on the care each animal needs:) I have a full time job, my work hours are 7am-3:30pm Monday through Friday. But I am remote Mondays and Fridays so it is convenient if someone needs me to watch the pets at home. I am always active during my weekdays and weekends, anytime before or after work I can give the pets their walks or feed them or just be present in the house for them. Weekends I am very flexible. I am used to feeding pets on the regular whether it be 2-3 or more times a day just let me know. I am good with routine walks to take them around the neighborhood. I love to throw around a ball or toys to get them tired out. With overnight help I am good with litter boxes or picking up in the backyard.

About: I love spending time with my 13 year old pug, Yoshi. I enjoy meeting all of the dogs, and I understand deeply how important pets are to us. I am currently working part-time, and that leaves me plenty of time through the week to get out, enjoy the beautiful weather and hang out with your dog! Having had a variety of dogs throughout my life, I understand that every dog, and their needs, are unique. So wether yours needs slow walks in the grass or long walks downtown, I'll get those paws moving!

About: I love all animals! I mostly grew up with dogs. I also take care of my roommates cat who is very friendly. Family and friends trust me with their four-legged children to ensure they're taken care of and well fed. I take time taking them out for walks and a little exercise. I give them lots of love and hugs. I ensure to balance that pets receive the same amount of time and attention as do children. I also treat them as if they were people. I allow pets, especially dogs to familiarize themselves with me. Adjust their comfort to my personality's frequency. I allow them to come to me before I make any approach.

About: I watch pets because they feel good to my nervous system after completing cancer treatment for a third time! I have had eight dogs in my life. Our current crew includes 2 task trained dogs (lab/hound mix + Rhodesian Ridgeback), and a blind senior wiener dog that knows one command: "sit." My personal animals range from 13 pounds to 100 lbs. Even though I've always been surrounded by animals (dogs, hamsters, lizards, etc.), I became increasingly interested in service dogs when my husband worked in the non profit sector. After meeting veteran focused organizations and spending time around service animals, I became a dog centric person. From there, I hired professionals and took an active role in training my dogs. Not only do I see animals from a more educated standpoint now, my body has healed mentally and physically through the bond I have with my trained dogs. After close to two years of predominately working with my own animals, I started consistently doing drop-ins on my friends' pets. Now, I am expanding my services to the public! I would love the opportunity to watch the furry members of your family. Pet care is the priority of my weekly schedule. My life currently revolves around my animals and helping others. The commitment I've made to myself is physical therapy and daily exercise. My highly flexible schedule is what makes pet sitting + myself a good match. I am big on following owner instructions. Every animal's needs are different. Food, crating, etc. I am happy to follow care needs based on what you have noticed is best for your animal!

About: I have had all different breeds of dogs throughout my life. My parents bred French Bulldogs. I currently have a friendly 9 year old Golden Retriever that gets along well with other dogs. I work from home most days so I would love the opportunity to watch your fur baby while you are away. I have a house with a fenced backyard and cameras where the dogs can freely roam inside and outside during the day. My dog Bjorn likes to sunbath on the back deck. I would take great care of your dog for the day or overnight. I would feed them as instructed and ensure that there is always plenty of fresh water available. And give them treats when allowed unless there are dietary restrictions.

My cat seemed well cared for when I got back from my two week trip and everything was tidy and in its place. I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kaitlyn!”

I always feel completely safe leaving my dog in her care, which gives me so much peace of mind. She's also an excellent communicator and keeps me updated every step of the way.

About: As a loving dog owner for the past six years, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently have two Shiba Inus, a breed known for being intelligent, independent, and sometimes a little stubborn, so I’m experienced with providing patient, consistent care. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Thank you for trusting me with your furry babies! Im available mostly during the day but can do check ins in the evening when needed! I can also provide check ins on the weekend. I do not care for pets in my home but I would be happy to take care of your pets in your own home where they feel most comfortable and safe!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and cats of all personalities. One thing I’ve always noticed is that animals tend to naturally feel comfortable around me and respond well to my calm energy and consistency. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or simply keeping a routine, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care based on your pet’s needs and schedule. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, companionship, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Communication is important to me, and I’m happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind. I care for every pet with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their individual personality and routine. Animals tend to naturally respond well to my calm energy, and I take time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medications (if needed), and any instructions you provide.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, dog loving sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds, from my family’s Rottweiler to dogs I’ve watched for friends, family, past employers and current employers :). I know every dog is different, so I focus on making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to build my day around pet care. I also like to stay active, which makes dog walks a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I can be available to give your dog the attention and care they need. I usually just follow whatever routine your dog is already used to (feeding times, walks, playtime, all of that) so nothing feels off for them. In your home, I try to keep things as normal and low stress as possible. If they’re with me, they’ll get regular walks, attention, and a calm, clean space to hang out. I’m pretty attentive and good at picking up on what a dog needs, whether that’s more activity or just time to chill.

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior pups who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic puppy training, including potty and crate routines, leash manners, and basic commands, and I’m happy to follow whatever training methods you use at home. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs and understand the importance of adjusting walks, playtime, and daily routines to their individual mobility, energy level, and needs. I’m experienced in caring for multiple pets at once and managing different personalities, feeding schedules, walks, and routines. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else; they’re part of the family and I’ll always treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’m currently training and teaching jiu jitsu classes which allows me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. Im able to build my schedule around your pets specific needs or energy levels and love going for little adventures to the park, beach, or where ever your pets favorite spot is! I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m clean, tidy, and mindful of your space while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their normal routine. For overnight or multi-night stays, my dog Lola does need to accompany me. She is a sweet, senior Rat Terrier who is accustomed to being around other pets. I typically provide daily photos and updates but am happy to provide whatever makes you comfortable in knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—from high-energy puppies to sweet senior dogs who just want a cozy spot to nap. With a background of working from home and having a playful Border Collie by my side, I’m constantly immersed in pet care and dog-friendly routines. My experience includes: - Managing multiple dogs during walks and playtime - Giving medication (oral or topical) as directed - Basic training reinforcement (sit, stay, leash manners, etc.) - Reading dog body language to prevent overstimulation or conflict - Caring for senior dogs with mobility or medical needs - Supporting puppies through their socialization and potty training Whether your dog is shy and prefers quiet cuddle time, or outgoing and ready to play all day, I adapt to their needs and give them the attention they deserve. What Sets Me Apart: What makes me different? I bring active, consistent companionship that goes beyond just letting your dog outside. Because I work remotely, they’re part of the action, just like my own pup. We go on multiple walks a day (including dog park adventures), and I pay close attention to each dog’s individual energy level and comfort. Plus: - I’m highly communicative—expect regular updates, cute pics, and a full rundown of the day. - I treat every dog like they’re my own, with respect, love, and patience. - I’m always cautious with introductions and safety, whether indoors or out. - My home is a secure, clean, pet-friendly space designed for comfort and calm. Dogs thrive with routine, attention, and love—and that’s exactly what they’ll get with me. I work from home, so I’m able to spend lots of quality time with the dogs in my care. Every day includes three walks — a 30-minute walk in the morning and evening, plus an afternoon trip to the dog park for about an hour of play and socialization. I love making sure dogs have a fun, active, and fulfilling day. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, secure environment where pets can relax, have fun, and feel completely at home. In my home, your pet will enjoy: - A spacious, pet-safe apartment with no risky escape spots - Constant supervision—I work from home full-time! - A peaceful environment with my friendly Border Collie, who’s great with other dogs - Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation based on your pet’s needs - Clean, cozy spaces for rest and relaxation When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and always leave your home clean and secure. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s energy level and social needs. If your dog is playful, we’ll go on adventures and burn off that energy. If they’re more laid-back or shy, we’ll keep things quiet and cozy. For safety, I take introductions slowly and always ask for details about behavior, health, and routines before any stay. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and truly cared for.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Coronado

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Coronado is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 9,348 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Coronado. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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 Coronado. On Rover:

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
