About: I’ve always been a dog person and have cared for dogs most of my life. I had a Boxer named Pantera, along with her mom and brother, Hercules, and now I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Diego. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and care, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine since I’m available on weekends and during weekday evenings. I love spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets because I feel the same way about my own puppy. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I will take the time to learn your dogs schedule and routine that you already have in place for them. My goal is to make their time away from you as stress free as possible, whether that’s in my home or yours (whichever you prefer). I also like to send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.

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've been around animals my whole life and truly consider pets to be part of the family. Growing up, I cared for our family dog (Shadow) and several cats (Sarah, Barney, Mishu, Josie). During college in New York, I had my own dog (Zazu), and I currently have a cat (Nicolette) in San Diego. Living with both dogs and cats has given me experience with their different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and affection, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I'll care for them with the same attention and kindness I give my own. Until recently, I worked as a school teacher, where I learned to be dependable, patient, and attentive to the needs of others. Since I'm currently between jobs, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, individualized care for your pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I'm available throughout the week and can adapt to your pet's routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I'll do my best to care for them the way you do. I'll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other routines to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll clean up after myself, leave your home just as I found it, and make sure everything is tidy before I leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that feels exactly as you left it.

Emily was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, trustworthy, and attentive she is. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we're so grateful for the excellent care Emily provided. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely great with dogs!

About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

About: I have grown up my entire life with dogs. I have experience with taking care of a vast range of dogs from 5 pounds to 100. I believe every animal is special and should be treated as such! I have experienced my own dogs becoming seniors and passing so I empathize with how difficult taking care of them late in their life can be and can need special specific instructions such as administering medication, that I am more than happy to do. I have never owned a cat but a close friend of mine has one who I currently pet sit for. I have watched all types of dog and cat breed from the age of 15 til now. I work remotely and have the flexibility to prioritize your pet’s schedule. I am organized in my planning and will make sure your dog is never left home alone for more than a few hours I live in Coronado and can travel to your home as much as you need for walks/ check ins or happy to stay at your home when pet sitting is needed. I am organized and can follow strict routines or just hang out and play with your dog depending on personalities.

About: I grew up with animals since I was a child. Now I'm in the military and looking to take care of some as a side gig. I grew up with two big dogs, I took care of family and friends pets, lizards, cats and birds. I walked, fed, bathed and had fun with all animals that were under my supervision. I work throughout the week but can still come home to do potty breaks and play. I have a medium size fenced in back yard that will be great for any animal to enjoy. I offer in my home and at the client's home services. I have 1 yr old boy that loves animals and my wife also helps me when we have pet guests. I can go to client's homes if preferred and spend as much time as needed to make sure the oet is cared for.

About: Pets have always been apart of my family life growing up. I helped my childhood pet give birth to her pups. I have trained my own dogs in obedience, tricks, and potty training. It is very rewarding spending time with dogs and helping them live a fuller life. I am currently available everyday of the week to spend time with your pups! I also offer boarding services. I am more than happy to help meet your family’s needs. I have two small dogs. Cookie is eight (Shih tzu). Ollie is six(Pomeranian/papillon mix). They are very friendly to all dogs/cats they encounter. I have a small crate if needed. While I do live in a apartment, there are pet relief areas on site. I also love to go on long walks if needed and trips to any nearby dog parks (little Italy dog park) are always a joy.

Armando is awesome! From the time we made contact, communication was great. My cat, Buddy, really enjoyed his time, and we are very grateful for Armando's commitment to Buddy's health and to the safety of our home. The first couple of days Buddy wasn't feeling well -- Armando and I reviewed the symptoms, made adjustments to food and medication, and within 24 hours we had turned a good corner! I got photos, activity reports, and we had a few phone calls at my request to make sure Armando had what he needed to keep my spoiled kitty happy :-). Thank You Armando!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Coronado on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 9,398 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Coronado. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Coronado 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 Coronado. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
