“Archie was well taken care of and had a great time. Very nice house and friendly family of sitters!”


“Yue did such a great job of taking care of Lili while she was sick! Lili got diagnosed with a herniated disc during my finals week, and I needed someone to give her medication and make sure she stayed resting while I was at school. She gave Lili her meds as instructed, fed her breakfast, and sent pictures of her short stay while I was gone. I could tell Yue truly cared about Lili and her well-being, and I appreciate her putting in the extra effort to make Lili comfortable during her stay!”


“Excellent experience! May was super quick and easy to communicate with and everything went very well! Our anxious little dog was so happy at May's home with her and her dog – got lots of cute pictures throughout the day and updates and felt like he was in great hands! Will for sure be sending our pup over again soon!”


“Alana was awesome with our dog Teddy! We have a very fearful and reactive dog, but he felt immediately at home with Alana. She provided constant updates and made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely be reaching out again!”


“Zari was awesome with our girl nala!!! Nala gets very excited to see her and Zari is great with responding quickly, as well as being flexible with pick up and drop offs! Highly recommend 😊”


About: My Fiancé, Olivia, and I have grown up around dogs all our lives. Olivia has had a Golden Retriever and English Springer Spaniel, while I grew up with a Border Collie, Cockapoo, and Mutt Lab. Over the past few years we’ve been watching our friends dogs and thought that this was a great way to get more puppy love. I am work from home, so I’m able to walk, play, and attend to the dog throughout the entirety of the day. Olivia is a teacher and at school during the day, but is around in the afternoons and on weekends. We are available most weekdays and some weekends to watch pets! We live in an apartment building, but I frequently go on walks and leave the building throughout the day. We can walk to dog beach if your dog is super social, or we can stay in the neighborhood, or go to Fletcher Cove to hang on the lawn.

“I am very grateful to find Shuo to take care of my dog. From the moment my dog met her, it was clear they hit it off — she’s a natural with dogs! She’s experienced, pays attention to detail, and truly cares about dogs. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!"”


“Lena is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! Not only did she take amazing care of my pup Leo and wore him out with all the fun adventures, but she also saved the day with her flexibility. I had a last-minute booking, and Lena was incredibly accommodating, making sure Leo had a blast despite the short notice. She kept me updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, putting my mind at ease. If you need someone reliable, loving, and flexible for your furry friend, Lena is the one to call. Leo can't wait for his next visit with her!”


“Aliyah is extremely patient with my dog, who definitely is a handful! She goes out her way to my dog feel comfortable, including finding him special treats that he absolutely loved!”


“He was great at taking our dog out for walk even when not asked! Very friendly and easy to work with. He was flexible with our drop off and pick up time as well.”


About: With over 20 years of dog-loving experience, I’ve shared my life with pups of all shapes, sizes, and ages—from frisky puppies to wise seniors. While I currently don’t have a furry companion (after saying goodbye to my sweet little dog last year), my calendar—and couch—are ready for canine company! Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and entertain their pets, and I’m known for doling out head scratches and belly rubs as generously as treats. Your pup will get the VIP treatment and all the love they deserve! Pet care is my passion, and I love filling my days with walks and playtime. Since I live in an apartment, walk breaks happen frequently—perfect for pups with potty breaks or high energy needs! I set my schedule around your pets, ensuring they never feel rushed (and have time for that extra lap around the block). Most days, I’m home and flexible, ready for early morning or evening visits to suit your routine. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority. At my place, pets get a cozy, secure environment and plenty of attention—no overcrowding or chaos here! On walks, I stay alert for other animals and hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet at my apartment or in your home, I maintain a calm, clean space and keep you updated with photos and cheerful messages—you’ll rest easy knowing your furry family member is in caring, experienced hands!

“Pranjali is great! Henry had a wonderful time hanging out with her and her fur baby. She is kind and calm and I can tell really loves taking care of Henry. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”



About: Hi there! I’m a devoted dog lover who works from home and offers exclusive, one-on-one dog sitting. Your pup won’t be just another guest — they’ll be treated like family. For the past three years, I’ve cared for my own dog every single day — from daily walks and homemade meals to cozy cuddles and fun adventures. I believe every dog deserves to be spoiled, safe, and loved, especially when their humans are away. Since I only sit one dog at a time, your pup will get my full attention, constant companionship, and all the comforts of home. I am currently working from home and available for dog day care and boarding on weekdays. I have a 3 year old mini goldendoodle who might be your pup’s next best friend! My community is very dog friendly and I can provide the care based on your needs. I have a sweet dog to keep yours company too.

“Great sitter and communicator. Took my pup to the dog beach to play. Sent me some cute pictures. Safe easy location for pickup and drop off. Would book again!”


“Caroline is the best sitter I’ve ever had on Rover! She is so sweet and goes above and beyond to make sure you and your pup are happy with lots of updates along the way. Layla absolutely loves her and was always so excited to see her everyday. I wish we lived in San Diego so we could bring her for daycare all the time:)”


“Julie was AMAZING with Mochi. We did a meet and greet the day before, and I knew right away Mochi would be in good hands. Julie was super communicative, sent lots of updates throughout, and showed Mochi so love. Would definitely recommend her!”


About: I always honor and treat my clients like family. I especially love working with active, high energy dogs that are responsive to treats and training. Senior dogs and dogs with special needs also hold a special place in my heart. A quick meet and greet is REQUIRED for all new clients to make sure my home is a good fit for your pup. I also require a meet and greet for my dog walking clients. Please allow time for that with your request, if applicable. I'm home most of the day. It's easy for me to take a break from what I'm doing to play with your pup, go for a walk around the block, or out to the park for some fun. There are so many fun places to explore in and around Solana Beach and Del Mar. I may leave for an hour or two during the day for yoga or the gym.

“Meg was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs on our brief stop in San Diego. We picked them up each day happy they were taken well care of.”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats all my life. In the past ten years, I have raised three dogs and dealt with all the puppy stages that come along with it. I love all animals and feel I connect with almost every pup I meet! I spent the last 4 years volunteering at animal shelters so I am very familiar with working with new dogs and ensuring they are comfortable around me. I love going on long walks especially when I have animals by my side. I have a caretaker mentality so I will always be on high alert with how each dog I watch is feeling. My own dogs have had medical problems so I am familiar with oral pill schedules and specific dietary needs. I currently work in Del Mar with a flexible job. I regularly go on long walks with or without my dog and have a car so can do drop in visits with ease. I live in a townhome with my partner and we have a fully fenced yard with a fun loving and happy dog who would love to make new friends. She is submissive as needed but loves to play with any and all pups!!

About: I’ve been a pet mom, but lately I’ve been sitting for my friends and other pet parents for years. I care for all animals with care, kindness and attention to details of needs. I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible. I can also block off time depending on your needs and availability are in advance with notice. I have a beautiful open front yard that we can tether a long rope or their leash to. I also live blocks away from a dog beach if your dog enjoys walks on the beach or playing with other fur animals.

Meghan has a super bubbly personality and Winnie alwayssss seems to be excited to see her. We love that we have total peace of mind when Meghan is watching Winnie. Can’t recommend her enough!!
