“Luis watched my dog and my friend’s dog at our place for a week while we were on vacation and he did an amazing job. When he first came to meet our pup beforehand, he asked a lot of great questions about feeding schedules etc that I wouldn’t have even thought to address! He played with our dogs and walked them multiple times a day. I woke up to photos of our pups playing while on vacation and it was so comforting to know he was with them and they were having fun. He also kept our place tidy and even washed our sheets after! I never felt I had to check in because he updated us twice a day and it was so nice. 10/10 would recommend him, definitely will be booking with him again!!”
“I had a great experience with Chunli. She arrived right on time, took good care of my dog, and made sure to follow all instructions carefully. She was respectful of our home and my dog was in good hands.”
About: Your pet will be loved and enjoy the time they have with me. I am very active so they will have plenty of walks and also time to relax. They will miss you, but they will be sad to see me leave. :) I have open availability unless I am booked for another job. I work 7 days a week. I am saving to open a coffee cart. I closely follow all instructions that are left for me. I take everything into consideration and I am always thinking about the safety of your pet first.
“We truly appreciated Cary's help and dedication in caring for our home and our cherished cat, Robbie. She was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates. We returned home to find Robbie stress-free, and the home is in fantastic condition. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Jordan is a wonderful sitter. She looked after my senior dog and followed all instructions and made sure he was cared for. She was respectful of our home and I appreciated the frequent updates and photos.”
“I’m so grateful for finding Mari! She house/dog sat for us for 8 nights. Mari took great care of my pup, sent regular pics and updates and took amazing care of the house. Can’t wait to have her back!”
About: Hi! I’m back in San Diego! I had to move for University, but now I’m back and ready to keep watching all the cute pups of San Diego <3 Growing up I've had many different pets including cats, dog, hamster, guinea pigs, and many more different animals. I don't remember a time in which I didn't have a pet. I love animals and I really enjoy being around them. I have taken care of pets before including senior dogs which I had to administer medication to, so I do have experience in doing that. I am very calm and patient which is very helpful when it comes to taking care of animals. I also really love being outdoors and going on walks! I can also go on much longer walks if that is needed for very energetic dogs. thank you for your consideration and I would love to get to know your amazing pets! I am looking for a part time job right now so I have a lot of time to spend with the pups! Even after I find a job, my goal is to be able to continue working through Rover as much as possible! My house has a fenced backyard and in the warmer months I keep the back door open so the pups can go outside and lay in the sun if they like! For doggy daycare I usually request that owners bring a blanket or toy for the dog so they have something that smells like home and makes them feel a bit more comfortable.
“Nataliya did an amazing job watching Teddy! She sent lots of pictures and took him on lots of fun outings. She sent me daily updates and was very responsive to my messages. Would definitely book again!”
“Sandra was absolutely incredible during our recent overnight trip. From the moment we got home, I could tell the boys were beyond happy — relaxed, loved, and completely themselves. And somehow, her sweet pup Koko and my dogs are now officially best friends. She took care of everything so seamlessly it felt like she had always been part of our routine. I came home after a long work trip to a spotless house, clean sheets and towels, and very content pups. I was honestly in heaven. The boys are definitely missing Sandra and Koko today. 💛 If you’re lucky enough to book her, you’ll understand exactly how we feel. She gets off-the-charts stars from me — huge thank you, Sandra! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: I have had a dog in my family for as long as I can remember and have always played the role as the caretaker. On multiple occasions I have walked and house sat for neighbors and friends when they were out of town or were out of the house for a full day. I have very open weekends and afternoons - Drop-Ins or walks in the afternoons during the week are most ideal for me. Especially walks since I am going on them anyways. Weekends I am free throughout the day for pet sitting or walks as well. If care is need over the week, I do work from about 9AM-4PM in the Miramar area and the pet would need to be OK with being alone for a several hours during the day. If care is at your home, a small meet prior to pet-sitting would be nice so I am not entering the home as a stranger but if that is not available I would make sure to enter the home cautiously as to not spook your dog/cat.
“Eli did a great job with Max. He stayed with and cared for Max for 4 days. He made sure Max was well taken care of. He was even great with Max during a day of rain. Max is not a fan of rain, but all was well with Eli's patience and understanding. Max even went on a couple of short hikes. Eli is professional and made sure to spend quality time with Max. I will use Eli again.”
“Jonathan was great! We were a little nervous for someone to stay in our house and watch our pets but he was amazing, our pets were happy and our house was just as we left it! He sent us lots of updates and photos to let’s us know everything was ok. We will definitely be using him in the future!”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, and also own a 13 year old beagle pittie who is my best friend and house hippo. I think dogs truly are people’s best friend, and have come to understand their needs as domesticated creatures, including: movement, mental stimulation, and patience. From checkins, walks, and/or training - give me a ping! I’m local to Carmel Valley Middle School and just a query away! I work from home as my own boss, and have flexibility accommodating schedules! I’m always ready to make adjustments to ensure the client servicing are within reach. My home has been methodically dog proofed over the last decade owning two happy and healthy dogs. My home is 5 minutes away from the park, and helps serve as a park conduit for your furry family member.
“George was amazing! Very professional, trustworthy, flexible and friendly. He gave us daily updates of Bunker including pictures and videos that reassured us Bunker was in great hands. Thank you so much George! 100% recommend & will book again in the future!”
“Viviana was a life saver, had a last minute cancellation and needed someone to watch the doggos. She was attentive and followed up with updates about our pups while we were . So glad we found her!”
About: What sets me apart is how much care and attention I give to each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn their age, personality, and daily routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I have experience with puppies and enjoy helping reinforce basic training like house routines, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and truly love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾 I usually wake up around 5am to take the dogs out for their morning walks and that lasts about 30-60 minutes. Since I work from home most days, I sometimes take them for an afternoon walk if they are feeling very energetic. We have a little play ground we let them go to bring out their zoomies before coming back in. Around 4-5pm, we always go to the park close to our neighborhood to let our furry friends play with each other and socialize! In the days it rainy, we usually take a longer walk around the neighborhood. I care for pets by prioritizing their safety, routine, and overall well-being, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication administration, exercise needs, and any behavioral or medical considerations. I ensure pets have a clean, comfortable environment, fresh water at all times, and appropriate physical and mental stimulation.
About: I have been caring for animals all of my life. Friends, family, and neighbors have been relying on me to sit for their pets since I was 10 years old. I had a dog (Weimeraner) growing up that I took care of and a cat (tuxedo) later on in life. I value my time with all pets. I look forward to continuing my journey to brighten up their days! ☀️ I currently control my work schedule and am cutting my hours in my full-time position, in order to dedicate more time to pet sit. I am around daily unless out of town, in which I have a trusted sitter that I am able to refer. I do not have pets at home but do have a furnished apartment and patio, in which the pets are able to roam around in. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I’m attentive, reliable, and comfortable caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and care 🐾 My dog lived to be 17 years old and sadly passed away last year. I absolutely love dogs and want to be around them 😊 I’m currently working full-time during the week so the weekends are where I can take care of your pet! Saturday and Sundays my schedule is flexible. I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing attentive care, regular exercise, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection while keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free.
“Brooke was excellent! She took great care of our cats including giving insulin injections to our stubborn diabetic one! We look forward to having her care for our cats again!”
Del Mar Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Yaxsarie has been the best caretaker to our one year old German shepherd. Our dog is adopted and has separation anxiety from previous trauma. We asked Yaxsarie to watch our dog on very short notice and she was immediately responsive and fully available to help, filling in every need we had. Her warm demeanor made my dog feel comfortable immediately and she put our minds at ease. She has watched our dog in our home and is respectful, clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Yaxsarie and am so grateful for her professional care of our dog.
Sandra was absolutely incredible during our recent overnight trip. From the moment we got home, I could tell the boys were beyond happy — relaxed, loved, and completely themselves. And somehow, her sweet pup Koko and my dogs are now officially best friends. She took care of everything so seamlessly it felt like she had always been part of our routine. I came home after a long work trip to a spotless house, clean sheets and towels, and very content pups. I was honestly in heaven. The boys are definitely missing Sandra and Koko today. 💛 If you’re lucky enough to book her, you’ll understand exactly how we feel. She gets off-the-charts stars from me — huge thank you, Sandra! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Patrick was great! Excellent communication! Both super responsive and terrific at sending photos and updates. We especially appreciate his athleticism as we have two extremely active pups. They are used to taking long walks and Patrick was willing to take them on their favorite hike. We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with Patrick and look forward to having him back again!
Marie took on a big order to support our furbabies. Marie stayed in our home with our new puppy, very geriatric dog, and our sweet husky. Plus 2 cats. What she provided was support for a family healing post breast cancer, caring for her furfamily in very challenging stages at the same time. We were provided beautiful videos, kind and compassionate words, that eased the stress to allow her healing. We are so grateful to Marie.
I am so grateful for Christi! We had a sitter cancel at the last second right before Thanksgiving and thankfully Christi was available! She did a tremendous job taking care of my GSD while staying overnight at my house. She kept me up to date with how my dog was doing and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Will certainly reach out to Christi next time we are in need.
Brooke did a great job on her first of hopefully many nights with my two babies. She had to administer meds to the older one and he seemed to take it better from her than me. They seemed content in the pics she sent throughout my trip. My home was in great shape when I returned. We are using Brooke again!
I was very very happy w the care provided. My dog was so well cared for, loved and given good walks while I was gone. Jeff was conscientious about following the instructions I had laid out for him. Very good experience for my dog and no worries/concerns for me when I was away. Also communication and picture were sent daily.
Arun was terrific with our pups! Great communication and pics throughout his stay which we really appreciated. He followed the feeding and walk schedule we left for them and made sure to give our one dog his meds each night. Also left the house clean and tidy. We recommend Arun for any walks and/or overnight dog/house sitting. Would book again!
Again, we always enjoy our time away knowing that our dog and cat are happy as can be while nataliya is watching them! She gives them tons of attention and love. We really appreciate all of the videos and photos and communication! Absolutely will have her back ♥️
Oleksandra is great. My dog loved her immediately and felt safe and comfortable with her. She stayed at home caring for my dog all day, updated me with photos and details about my dog’s day. She was very attentive to his medication and his needs. I’m grateful for Oleksandra’s help.
