“Chunli always does an amazing job taking care of my 2 cats when I’m away. She’s also flexible and has been willing to help me out on a few last minute trips, and she takes as good of care of my cats as I would. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing pet care!”
“Audrey was absolutely amazing with our cat Milo. She was super timely and provided amazing updates. Our house was left super clean and we are extremely grateful for her help! Milo has a new friend too!”
“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”
About: I love every animal as if they’re my own! I’ve grown up surround by animals my entire life, so pet sitting was a no brainer! I have experience with both Cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, & seniors! I work full time but can try to make anything work around my schedule! I am a manager, so I get to make my own work hours. In the past, I’ll be able to walk dogs on my lunch breaks - or if needed, I’ll take a break from work. I know animals are more than just pets and they deserve nothing but the best care. I like to stick to pet’s normal routines as much as possible (when walking or dog sitting). And I like to give as many belly rubs that I can get in (if possible)
About: I have been fostering and adopting pets with my family since I was 6 years old. This includes mostly dogs/puppies as well as kittens/cats! Our house was constantly a zoo. I am a college student on summer break, so I am free all week every week!! I will be fully dedicated to caring for and entertaining my furry friends. I am able to safely take care of your pets and their health, as well as give them the love they need. My number one priority is making sure they are comfortable! I am very familiar with both cat and dog behaviors and can recognize their discomfort confidently.
“Sara is incredibly amazing. Trustworthy and responsive. Her communication style provides comfort for any companion animal owner. She's definitely on my short list of people to call when in need. She deserves my highest recommendation.”
“Ellyn is amazing… my pup loved her from the get go. Ellyn was super attentive to his needs and he was a happy boy. I would heartily recommend Ellyn for all your dog sitting/walking needs!”
About: Hi! I’m Skyler, a recent University of Michigan graduate spending the summer in Solana Beach before moving to NYC in September. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ve provided dog sitting, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, and medication for dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve dog sat for many families through local Facebook groups. My own dog had epilepsy, so I have personal experience caring for a dog with medical needs, including administering medication and recognizing when extra attention is needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!! :) I have a flexible schedule this summer and am available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop in visits, overnight stays, and lots of attention, playtime, and care for your pets. I always follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, meals, and any medications they need. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect that I would my own.
“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”
“Drea was amazing with Kermit! You can tell how much she loves dogs! From the moment she met him he was so excited and really loved her. Thank you Drea for following my directions so well and giving Kermit extra love!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Devon provided excellent care for our two cats with drop in visits in our home during our vacation. She is very warm and kind with our cats and provided them with lots of love and attention. She was also very communicative and provided daily updates and photos. She delivered on all of our many requests and even provided more extended care above and beyond our contracted terms. We are very selective with our pet care and we have worked with many different pet sitters over the years in close relationships. I would say that Devon is one of the best we’ve ever worked with and I would not hesitate to recommend her services.”
About: Hello! I have been taking care of furry-friends since I was young. I have always been an animal lover and love giving belly rubs/ going for long walks! I have experience in dogsitting with Neighbors and family friends. I pride myself in providing lots of updates throughout the day/ visit and will make sure to send photos! I am a remote worker and have lots of flexibility! I can tailor the hours that is best for you and maintain a schedule that your pup is used to!

About: I work from home, which means your dog gets attention all day, not just morning and evening! Since I was a teenager, friends and family have trusted me with their dogs, and that trust has only grown. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages - from a 9 year old Shih Tzu to an 85-pound Doberman - and I treat every dog like my own. I live in Del Mar, surrounded by green spaces and parks, so your dog will get 3–4 walks a day in a beautiful area. I live with my husband who is another dog lover! Here’s what you can count on from me: - Frequent photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing - Strict adherence to your specific instructions and routines - A calm, loving home environment with no other pets I’d love to meet your dog and learn what makes them wag their tail! Feel free to reach out with any questions :) **Lastly, I go by Valentina (middle name) - that’s why you see that name in some of the reviews** Schedule: I work from home in Software Sales with a flexible calendar, so I can easily work around your dog’s existing routine - whether that’s a mid-morning walk, a post-lunch nap, or an afternoon play session. Weekends I’m even more available My home is calm, pet-proofed, and free of other animals. I’m also trained in oral medication administration, so dogs with special health needs are always welcome.
“I would Definitely use Lyndsey again as a pet sitter. She was so nice and took good care of my cat. I received my daily updates in a timely manner after each visit .”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager, and I truly love spending time with animals—it feels like such an honor and a privilege. While I don’t currently have pets of my own due to my travels, caring for other people’s pets helps fill that void until I can adopt a furry friend of my own! I work from home with a flexible schedule. I pet sit and dog walk for friends and family whenever I can because I love it. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is secure, free of hazards, and suited to the pet’s needs. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including dietary restrictions, medication schedules, and preferred routines. When walking dogs, I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding unsafe areas and extreme weather conditions. In a client’s home, I ensure doors and gates are properly closed, and I respect the pet’s space while providing plenty of attention and care. My goal is to create a stress-free, comfortable experience for both pets and their owners!

I will follow any instructions given about how to care for your pet and what needs to be done! I am very flexible and will always make sure your pet is safe and sound!
About: I grew up with german shepards and currently have 2 cats, Harry and Luna. I walked dogs for 7 years in Chicago and I have experience with all temperaments.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Del Mar
Couldn't recommend Jasmine enough! She was super communicative, kind and sent lots of photo updates while I was out of town. We had one of our walkers fall through while on vacation and she had no problem helping us out last minute :) Definitely will be using her services again in the future!
Ari is EXCEPTIONAL!!! We have a VERY uncomfortable 11 yr old pup and do not ever leave her alone. She warmed up to Ari extremely fast. Her communication was excellent. You can instantly tell her love for pups (animals) Couldn’t be happier finding her on this App. We will absolutely be using her in the future and are thrilled with the peace of mind knowing our pup is in incredible hands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am so grateful to have found Nataliya. I have a large, anxious dog that requires someone who is patient and willing to put in the extra effort to make him feel comfortable. Nataliya is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and even helped me with some training guidance. I will definitely be a repeat client, highly recommend!
Cary is a wonderful caring petsitter. She was just the right person to stay with our shy, quirky, older Bernese Mountain Dog. She understood that our girl is shy and needed to make the first moves to become friends, which Cary understood and they became good friends. Communication was great, lots of cute pics from walks and chilling out. 100% happy, 100% would use her again. Highly recommend her!
Emily watched my cat Niele again in October and, as always, did a wonderful job! She’s reliable, thoughtful, and keeps me updated with photos that give total peace of mind while I’m away. Niele is always relaxed and content when I return — clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found such a caring and dependable sitter. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Del Mar on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 10,091 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Del Mar. 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 Del Mar 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 Del Mar. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
