“Leyla was absolutely amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and flexible to our needs. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was getting attention, care, and affection while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and would trust them again in a heartbeat!”
“Thank you Ana for taking care of my boys during the busy holiday weekend. I appreciate that you were able to step up and cover an extra day when my flight was canceled as part of the Southwest meltdown.”
About: I am a Dog lover!!! I have experience with my dogs, and I take care of my friends and family dogs when they go out or travel. I would treat your baby like it was mine. Also I would send you an upgrade and pictures so you can see how much fun your dog is having. I think dogs are the best gift a human can have, and that is why they deserve the best care, attention, and Love!! I can provide that to your dog. Sometimes can be overwhelming for them to spend so much hours alone, without attention or without playing, so I would love to be part of that happiness, to take them for a run or walk, go visit them, pet him and play with him. Dogs are our best friends in life, so they deserve to have always the best!
About: I have 15 years of caring for pets of my own and well over 10 years of sitting for neighbors and friends pets. I have experience with dogs (of all sizes), cats, and pocket pets of all ages. I even have experience caring for elderly pets and those that require medication. Education background in animal care (Bachelor's in Animal Science and Associate’s in Animal Care and Training). I work part-time for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. I usually work early mornings and late evening shifts a few days a week. I have a flexible schedule and readily available most mid-days. Through my personal experience and education background I understand how to handle animals safely and confidently. While also ensuring your pets comfort. I understand leash safety and feel comfortable walking dogs of various sizes.
“Janet was great, she watched my dog and cat for a long weekend. She fed them, walked them, distributed vitamins, and was very responsive and communicative. Everything was in great shape when I returned. Will be hiring again. Thanks Janet!”
“Jazmin is amazing. She had excellent communication before and after visits with my kitty. She took photos and wrote the most detailed and sweet notes after each stay. I knew my kitty was safe in her care which gives me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks so much!”
“She’s so good with my two boy cats!! One of my boys is a really a shy one and she’s always able to get him out to play. I’ve had come to check on my boys more than once now! I highly recommend her!”
“Brenda did an awesome job looking after my two cats, notoriously shy, she got them to hang out and play! I already asked her to do another drop-in, she’s super reliable and the cats seemed very happy with how much time she spent with them!”
“Paige was great! We came to San Diego with our pups on a trip and wanted to spend extra time away from our airbnb. She gave them some company and let them out. She sent me pictures while she was there and made us feel comfortable being away from our babies longer. Thank you!!”
“Tara is amazing! Taking care of our sweet bubs while we went out of town for the weekend. Tara kept us updated with playtimes, and potty times as well as sending the cutest photos. On top of all that our sweet boy took an instant liking to Tara and we couldn’t be happier. A great communicator and very professional- we are definitely going to have Tara as our #1 to watch our pup from now on!”
“My husband and I have scheduled a recurring drop in visit with Danielle for our dogs during the week while we are at work. Danielle has been great with our dogs. She is consistently on time, responsive to our questions and messages, and very professional.”
“Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️”

“Kalista has been taking care of our cat for a while now, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s reliable, conscientious, and kind. Monkey always seems at ease when we get home. :)”
About: I am a dependable and compassionate pet sitter and dog walker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. I have experience working with reactive and anxious dogs and understand the patience, awareness, and calm approach they often need. I pay close attention to body language, safety, and each dog’s individual comfort level to help them feel secure and cared for. I currently have a cocker spaniel and love to walk and play with him. I know how important consistency, exercise, affection, and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and attention, I will provide reliable, loving care and treat them as if they were my own. I am a teacher and have summers off. I have full availability to care (walks and check-ins) for your pet during the week or weekend. I would love to get on a schedule if you need one for consistent work. I am looking for jobs that will get my active and outside. Whether that is playing with your pet inside your home or taking them for long walks around your neighborhood/in a destination of your choosing.
About: As an animal lover, I’ve grown up with all sorts of critters for my entire life (dogs, cats, birds, and even a pot belly pig – oh my!). One day I’d like to have an animal sanctuary. My favorite thing is getting to know a pet and making them feel safe and comfortable while I’m taking care of them. Pet care is a daily part of my life already since I have a couple of senior fur babies at home! I have a flexible work schedule so I can always make sure that I’m a part of your pet’s day when I’m taking care of them. Trust is a big part of hiring a pet sitter. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow any instructions a pet parent gives me with walking, feeding, and behavior. I’ll make sure that every pet gets extra love while you’re away.
“Rosa was fantastic with my dog and cat!! My dog isn’t the best with new people, but I appreciated her coming to do a meet and greet first. She was patient with him and built trust and he was super excited when she came to walk him! She did great and I appreciate her communication. She’s also super sweet in general and I will definitely book her again :)”
“Joanne is an angel! I’ve met with her before her pet drop ins started and felt immediately at ease- like we’ve known each other for a long time. My pup, Haku adored her! Joanne took good care of him when we’re away and communicates everything with me. She carefully follows instructions and did everything as told with respect! I would definitely book with her service again! She deserves more than 5 stars. Joanne, please stay nearby and keep in touch!!!”
“Yesenia is awesome and has extensive experience with both cats and dogs. She was so patient with Axl as he is a puppy and a bit shy around people. She is responsive, has great communication during check-ins and take lots of pics. Thank you Yesenia 😃!”
Emerald Hills cat parents share their Rover experiences
I’m so sad that I just found Christine and I’m moving in a month. Have been searching for someone as sweet and caring as her for so long. She constantly updated me, and sent the cutest photos. Felt so relieved all week knowing that my little babies were in her hands. Can’t recommend her enough ❤️
We have had Michelle check on our little kitty several times now and she does a wonderful job. He’s not the most friendly cat but he seems to like her pretty well (which is much better than how he feels about most people 😂). She takes great care of him, sends good pics, and provides detailed updates!
Jennifer was absolutely phenomenal with our cat, Seaweed, while we were away. 💛 She was thoughtful, proactive, warm, and incredibly reassuring from start to finish. For each visit, she sent detailed updates, adorable photos/videos (😭😍), and little observations about Seaweed’s personality/behavior that made it SO clear she genuinely cared and was paying close attention to her. One of our biggest concerns while traveling is Seaweed’s medication administration (she requires an oral pill twice daily), and Jennifer handled this flawlessly. Not only did she successfully administer her meds as needed, but she also kept us informed on what worked best along the way, making the entire process feel low-stress, thoughtful, and intentional. Having someone we fully trusted while away gave us so much peace of mind. Jennifer went above and beyond, and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for a caring, patient, attentive, and reliable sitter for their pet(s). We’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Thanks again, Jennifer!!! 🙏❤️

Ivy was amazing with Sophie again. We got updates throughout or vacation and it made me feel happy and relieved that Sophie was in great hands. Sophie and Ivy’s connection is genuine and you can tell Ivy is an animal, and in our case a cat, person. Would recommend to anyone with a kitty.
Anjelica was great! I booked her last minute and she was super accommodating, setting up a meet and great quickly. She was very communicative, followed all guidelines and provided updates with lots of photos. I felt comfortable leaving my cat under her care while I was away and was able to enjoy my time knowing all was being taken care of back home. Thanks again! 🐈⬛
