“Paige was able to watch our pup last minute when he got a mild case of Kennel Cough and we had a trip planned. She gave us updates, administered meds, and gave Finn lots of snuggles. We are SO thankful for her, and 10000% would recommended her to anyone!”
“Will was amazing with Willow and Wick. He was timely, communicative, and reliable. He was so great even our shy cat came out to hang out with him. He even took our puppy for her first run! He sent us pictures and videos of them everyday and if we had questions throughout our trip he responded promptly to them. We will definitely be booking Will for any future things we may need with our fur babies!”
“Julia was amazing! She stayed at our home for a week and took such thoughtful care of our dog Shadow, our two cats Ollie and Athena, and our turtle tank. We loved receiving her daily updates and photos! It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions closely and clearly treated our pets like her own. On top of that, our home was spotless when we returned. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely work with her again! Highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and detail-oriented sitter! Thank you so much, Julia!”
“Joanne was very good w my two teacup yorkie’s! We communicated well while we were out. We r on vacation from Texas and so Joanne was super helpful to us so we can take a day to go to the San Diego zoo where pets not allowed. I will definitely recommend her.”
About: I currently have 3 cats and I’ve had two dogs of my own in the past who I adopted and loved deeply, and they taught me the importance of patience, routine, and gentle care. I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities and truly enjoy building trust with each pet. I work full time fully remote during the week which gives me flexibility for lots of day time loves and pets and letting outside. I also love to go on walks on my hour lunch and long walks at mission beach during the weekend! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle care, close supervision, and regular updates with photos and messages so you always feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for!
“Anjelica was great! She was very communicative providing updates throughout my trip and responsive when I reached out. My dog and cat were obviously very well taken care of. The house was in great shape when I returned. You’ll be glad you booked with her!”
“Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.”
“Monica was fantastic! We needed a sitter for a few hours while we were visiting San Diego and staying at the Hotel Del Coronado. Our pup instantly liked her, which is fairly unusual. Lots of updates, photos and videos. Will use her again the next time we’re in town! Highly recommend for helicopter dog parents 😆”
About: As someone who’s owed many kinds of animals throughout my life I understand that each and every animal is different and requires attention and care in order to build a trusting relationship. I look forward to learning about your pet! I work remotely from 6am-2pm Monday through Friday, my flexible hours will allow me to take care of your pets even during work hours and after work! I have no pets in San Diego but have tons of experience working with all different breeds of dogs since my sister has been working on here for over a year!
“Sarah was great! She’s a quick responder and sent us photos and updates which put my mind at ease. Pepper was cozy and happy upon return. I would highly recommend Sarah!”
“Sarah is such a sweetheart! My kitty Sasha is usually very nervous without me, but she took to Sarah so fast. They were playing together on day 2! I appreciate Sarah’s thoughtful care and am grateful to have solid pet care in San Diego.”
“Natalie was so great!! She was very kind and flexible and even left the house clean. She sent me lots of updates of the dogs and followed all the instructions. This was my first time having someone I don’t know watch my dogs and she was fantastic!”
About: I care for every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease while they’re away, so I focus on creating a calm, loving, and familiar environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s unique personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or just want extra cuddles. What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every visit. Your fur baby won’t just be watched—they’ll be comforted, spoiled, and truly cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a student who does most of my work online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be attentive throughout the day. This means plenty of time for feeding, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and lots of cuddles. I’m able to adjust my schedule around each pet’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for rather than left alone for long periods. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, potty, medication, and playtime instructions closely, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own familiar space.
“Allison is great! From the moment that I reached out to her to stay with Toby, she has been so professional and sweet. Toby warmed up to Allison pretty quickly and I could tell he was happy and well taken care of. I love that Allison sent me so many pictures of Toby while I was on my trip because I did miss him a lot! Toby and I would be happy to have Allison stay over again!”
About: My family has owned dogs since I was little, so I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've taken care of pets for family and friends, from walking, feeding, and playing with dogs, to feeding a guinea pig and refilling its water bottle. I love animals, and I will make sure your pet feels well-loved and cared for while you are away. I've cared for dogs with special needs, including medication, potty-training issues, nervousness during thunderstorms, and separation anxiety. I'm willing to care for your dog's special needs if it requires this. Currently, I am available before 3pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and all day Monday and Thursday. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!
“This was Akisha’s first sitting in this area and I will strongly recommend her for house sitting your beloved pets. She kept me informed me throughout via pictures and video messages and took a great care of my dog and the house.”
“Sam was reliable, courteous, and conscientious when she watched our fur babies! She arrived on time, followed our instructions, and sent us regular updates. We came home to a clean house, and if not happy (the fur babies are never happy when we're gone), well cared for pets. Honestly, who could ask for more? We would definitely book with Sam again!”
“I really enjoyed having Rosalinda take care of my senior dog and stay at my home. She made time to come meet me and my dog before my trip. She checked in regularly while I was gone, to let me know how my fur baby was doing. I would love to have her watch my dog again. I highly recommend Rosalinda.”
“Tally was great with my chocolate lab who has separation anxiety. She was attentive and gave him lots of love and hugs. My house was immaculate when I came home after a 4 day trip. Highly recommend Tally!”
Emerald Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!
William was awesome. He was very respectful and thorough in his communications before and during the stay. If he had questions he didn't hesitate to ask, and he kept me updated with how my animals and the house was doing while we were gone. 100% would hire him again!
Evelyn was a fantastic doggy sitter for my 3.5 year old Malinois Stevie! She boarded at my apartment for a long weekend while I was out of town. I could tell she put a lot of thought and effort into preparing for the doggy sitting - she brought extra supplies on her own, asked good questions about Stevie's behavior before doggy sitting, and took notes on the typical day-to-day doggy routine (favorite walking areas, timing for food, general bio clock of my dog). During the doggy sit, she sent me multiple pictures each day of pup walks and chill time at home with Stevie. She was an excellent communicator, texting when she needed extra clarification and promptly responding to messages. I would 100% book her again!
Monica was fantastic! We needed a sitter for a few hours while we were visiting San Diego and staying at the Hotel Del Coronado. Our pup instantly liked her, which is fairly unusual. Lots of updates, photos and videos. Will use her again the next time we’re in town! Highly recommend for helicopter dog parents 😆
Crystalinda was truly incredible with our English Mastiff. We received thoughtful updates and photos every day, and it was obvious our pup was relaxed, comfortable, and so well cared for. She also took wonderful care of our home. It’s rare to find someone so calm, confident, and knowledgeable with giant breeds — we are beyond grateful and will absolutely book again!
We had a great experience with our Heather! She stayed overnight with our pet cat, Marshall for a full week and took wonderful care of everything. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was very clean, respectful of our home, and so kind. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to others!
Julia was a great sitter - the house was immaculate when we came back, and she understood our dog's slightly neurotic issues. Both a heavy rainstorm and New Year's Eve fireworks, all reason to panic in his mind. We had good occasional updates while away and felt like everything was in good hands! we'd definitely use her again.
Ari was a great dogsitter and housesitter while we were away for a week over Christmas. One of our dogs unexpectedly needed medication and Ari was happy to take care of her even though that was not originally part of the request. Our dogs seemed to enjoy their time with Ari, and I enjoyed how kind and responsive she was with her communication. We'll definitely book with her again!
Sabrina was wonderful caring for our dog Bruce for a whole two weeks and over the holidays! She sent us lots of photos, videos and daily updates. She was very responsive and kind in her messages. She also left our home very clean and made sure to collect the mail and packages. Would definitely recommend her for dog sitting
Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.
