“Africa was great with the girls, she kept us updated on how each of them were doing and they were all doing great upon our return. Our cats can take a while to warm up to some people so we’re very appreciative!”
“Our first time using Rover/Carley and the service s exceeded our expectations! Thank you so much Carley for caring for boys. The photos show on them happy and doing so well they don’t even miss us!”
“Amazing!! Definitely will be using them again for their wonderful service and personable personalities! Literally the ONLY reason I’d consider not giving them a 5/5 is so they won’t get so booked up that they couldn’t watch my cat again.”
“Krystal was wonderful! So kind and responsible, she took fantastic care of my cat, who needs special care and medication. Krystal clearly has experience with animals and knew exactly how to approach my shy kitty so that my cat immediately loved her! She also sent pictures and regular updates of her visits. I would definitely book her again :)”
“Rachel is the best! She was super responsive and communicative and my kitty loved her. She clearly has experience with animals. We will go to Rachel with our future cat sitting needs.”

About: Hi! I’m Ana — a compassionate and experienced caregiver specializing in senior pets and those with medical needs. I’ve lovingly cared for my own aging dogs and cats, including blind, diabetic, and mobility-challenged companions. I’m confident administering insulin, oral meds, supplements, and supporting pets on specialized diets or comfort routines. I understand that aging pets need a little extra time, patience, and tenderness — and I provide just that. Whether it’s help with stairs, gentle walks, or a calm lap to rest on, I’m here to offer steady, attentive care while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I’ll keep you updated with notes, photos, and peace of mind:) Caring for animals is already woven into my daily life. As a lifelong pet parent (including senior and special-needs animals), I’m used to early mornings, meal prep, medication routines, walks, cleanups, and cuddle time. My days are structured around care — whether it’s my own pets or yours — so showing up reliably and compassionately is second nature to me. I build my schedule with flexibility to give each pet the attention and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, an overnight stay, or a daily walk, I integrate pet care smoothly into my week, keeping communication open and routines consistent for peace of mind — yours and theirs 🐶🐱💛 In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s familiar routine — meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and medications — with as little disruption as possible. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and always follow your instructions carefully. I bring a calm, grounded presence and take the time to build trust, especially with older or shy pets. In my own home, I provide a quiet, cozy space and a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised and treated like family. I’m mindful of their energy levels and comfort, especially for seniors or those with medical needs, and I make sure their days are calm, enriched, and consistent. Whether I’m visiting or hosting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority — and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way 💛🐾

About: I have taken care of my 5 year old Golden Retriever since the day we got him. I also take care of my neighbors dogs when they go out of town. I’m currently working part-time and about to go back to school in August. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to pick up requests on my time off. When taking care of pet at their own homes, I make sure they feel safe in their environment and that I am not intruding in their space. Once they are comfortable I introduce them to everything I am doing until they fully trust me.
“We were so happy to meet Paris and let her take care of our cat for a few days while we were out of town. This was our first time ever leaving our cat with someone and from the moment we met Paris and her husband and their lovely cats, we feel like it’s a perfect place for our cat. While we were away we didn’t have to worry about him, because we knew he is in a good loving place and Paris sent pictures and updates about their time together. We absolutely recommend Paris to everybody who looking to board their cat.”

As well as experience for dogs who pull, oral medicine administration, special needs dog care, and puppy care! I have much love to give, and can’t wait to make beautiful bonds and memories with your cuddle buddies!! I currently work from home so I’m home 24/7. So I have lots of time and attention to give. I don’t have any pets of my own, so it would just be me and your cuddle buddy! I am available for on boardings, and I also board up to 4 dogs, at the same time! Since I board up to 4, I do AirTag all pups that join me to keep track of all of them all the time.

I have kids that are over the age of 9, they understand boundaries when it comes to dogs. I live in a little separate home away from the main house, so it would just me and your pup most of the time.

Kimari M.
“Kimari took wonderful care of my two cats, watered my plants, and kept the house looking great. She even got my shy kitty to come out and be friendly.”
Miranda M.
“Miranda has watched my dog Ozzie in her home over a period of five years. My pup used to be a timid dog who probably suffered some abuse before I adopted him in 2015. Miranda has been so kind and patient with him and always made him feel loved, safe and well cared for. I travel for work and pleasure regularly. When Ozzie is with Miranda I never worry because I know he is getting the love and attention he needs. Ozzie and I think Miranda is an awesome dog sitter.”

“Anna was great. The kitties took to her right away. I am very particular about who I will leave them with and she makes me feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!”
Noemi D.
“Noemi is truly one of the best dog moms out there—and an even better pet sitter. I went out of town for a few weeks, and without hesitation, she offered to take care of my baby Yorkie. She walked her every day and made sure she had the proper nutrition she needed. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a more caring or reliable person to watch my dog. She showed up and left at the same time every day, proving just how dependable she is. As for her own dog, he’s clearly spoiled—in the best way—with love, joy, and plenty of toys. Noemi is always attentive to his diet and overall health, making sure he’s as happy and healthy as possible. I will definitely continue to use Noemi as a pet sitter. She’s amazing! CM”

Escondido cat parents share their Rover experiences
Carolina gave us excellent peace of mind during our short trip! We loved all the pictures and really appreciated her letting us know exactly when she was coming by so we could easily schedule the automatic feedings around her visit time. We won’t hesitate to use her services again!
Citlalic was an excellant sitter for my cat Bella. She followed my instructions perfectly and I came back to a happy, healthy furbaby. It is rare for sitters to see Bella let alone pet her but Citlalic was able to do both and sent me photos to prove it. I was shocked. Overall Citlalic was great and we would hire her for drop-in visits again and again.
We had a wonderful experience with Bahed as our pet sitter! She was so kind and accommodating. She even took the time to come meet our girls ahead of our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind since they can be nervous around new people. While we were away, she kept us updated with lots of photos, and it was clear our fur babies took to her right away. Knowing they were in such caring hands made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our time away. Highly recommend Bahed to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!
