About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was very young. My family raised many different breeds over the years—from small companion dogs like Pugs, Pekingese, and Pomeranians to large breeds like German Shepherds and Great Danes. I developed a deep love for animals early on and have continued caring for pets into adulthood. I’ve owned both cats and dogs myself, and I’ve helped friends and neighbors care for their pets when they’re away. I’m comfortable bathing pets, giving medication when they’re sick.I treat every animal with patience and love, as if they were my own. As a new sitter on Rover, I’m currently offering a discounted rate to build my experience and reviews — while still providing full care and love! 🐾 I’m currently available full-time and have a very flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. Since I don’t host pets in my home, I focus on drop-in visits, dog walking, and in-home sitting. I always make time to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Although I don’t offer boarding at my home, I’m very experienced with in-home pet care. I will follow your instructions carefully to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or medication, I treat every pet with love and respect — just like family.

“Devon was so great with my cat and took lots of photos for me, she is super kind and friendly and great with animals!I felt so much better about leaving Lucy alone for the long weekend. I decided to take a last minute trip so I wasn’t sure I was even able to find someone to check in on her but I got so lucky and am so grateful!!”


About: I grew up in a household filled with animals so I’ve been tending and caring for pets my entire life. My husky of 17 years recently passed away. I took care of her since I was 10 years old. I’m not quite ready to be a dog mom again but I’d love to be a dog auntie and help take care of your babies. It would be so fun for me to care for your furry babies. I’m a chemist and work in a lab M-F from 9am-12:30pm. Besides that I’m usually home. I go to the gym in my apartment complex for about an hour daily. I’m usually free and available for potty breaks, play time, walking, hiking, beach etc. I live in an apartment with no yard. When I had a dog, I would take her outside to walk or go potty in the doggie areas every 3-5 hours.

“Roberta took such good care of my two cats! She has great communication and was very consistent with each visit. I would book her again, and I highly recommend her!”

Let’s make your dog’s walks the highlight of their day! 🐕💛 I’m currently working part time and offer weekday availability for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I love weaving it into my workweek and am happy to provide support while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I’m calm, observant, and respectful of routines. I follow feeding, medication, and walk instructions closely, and I always make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and cared for.

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. From energetic puppies to mellow seniors, I’ve had experience with all types of pets and personalities. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and reliable presence, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, consistent care for your pet throughout the week. I’m typically available on weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting, with some evening and weekend availability as well. My schedule allows me to be responsive and present, so your pet gets the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure environment and follow all care instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels at ease. I have experience with shy, anxious, and reactive pets, and I always take the time to build trust and work at their pace. I only care for one pet at a time (unless they’re from the same household), so your pet gets my full attention and care. You’ll receive regular updates and plenty of photos, so you can feel confident they’re safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 15 years, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or giving meds, I treat every pup like part of the family. Friends and neighbors rely on me for everything from daily visits to overnight stays, and I’ve built great bonds with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident, calm, and always ready for fetch, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Bonus: I never show up without treats (with your permission, of course!). Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m flexible and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or quality cuddle time, I make sure each visit is stress-free and tailored to your dog’s personality and schedule. Weekdays and weekends are both available, and I always build in time for updates, so you’ll never wonder how your pup is doing. Safety, trust & environment Keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable is always my top priority—whether I’m staying at your place or welcoming your pet into mine. I stick closely to your care instructions and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. When I’m in your home, I make sure everything stays just the way they’re used to. At my place, it’s calm and cozy with lots of supervision and comfy spots to lounge. ***I have two sweet Frenchies who are great with other dogs—we’ve had a third pup stay with us for weeks at a time, and it’s always a blast. I keep things secure, walk with sturdy leashes, and treat every pet like one of my own. If you’re looking for care for two or more dogs, I usually prefer staying at your place—it helps keep things low-stress and more familiar for them.

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!

“I cannot recommend Brianna enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my cat, Henry, while I was away, and her attentiveness and care were truly outstanding. Brianna kept me updated with regular pictures and videos, which not only let me see how happy and well-cared-for Henry was but also gave me so much peace of mind. She clearly loves what she does and took the time to make Henry feel comfortable and cared for. Knowing I could trust her completely made my time away so much easier. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated, Brianna is absolutely the best choice. Thank you, Brianna, for going above and beyond!”


About: After raising 5 children and my beautiful border collie passing i’m an empty nester and would love to care for precious pets again. I have had nine dogs and dozens of cats love each and every one of them as if they were my children. All incredibly obedient and loved dearly. I would love to care for yours as well.♥️ I am currently working part time and after 3 PM in the afternoon I would love to walk play and care for your precious pups !! I have a very clean home at the same time live right next to a wonderful neighborhood park and I’m a mile from Dog Beach. Plus I would consider housesitting with your pets. I have excellent references of background in interior design, staging and organizing so I’m very organized and clean! Therefore the designations for your pet would be followed perfectly!!💥

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.

About: I’ve been raised with Labrador retrievers siblings (not pets) since Barkley (my first brother) slept under my crib after my mom brought me home from the hospital. Every place I go where there is a dog, it’s my goal to make sure they like me so I am extremely attuned to how dogs are feeling as well as their needs. I helped potty train my family’s most recent labs (Buck and Buzz) as well as teach them a few tricks. I have a very flexible work schedule and would love to help out during the typical 9-5. I also would be happy to help with early morning walks. Given proper instruction and information, I’m a hyper vigilant sitter and want to make sure I am doing everything correctly as well as making sure your pup is having a fun time!
