About: I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. I have taken care of different animals since I was a little girl. I have a lot of experience with large and small animals. I work full time but I am available in the evening as well as some mornings before work. I usually have open availability on the weekends. I have a beautiful cat currently, who is very spoiled at my house. We love being active outside and playing with toys at home. I am a very active person myself, which is why I enjoying walking dogs so much.

Anna is literally the best dog sitting we have found in California. We always know our boys are taken care of while we are away. She’s very respectful of our home.

About: I have tons of experience with all kinds of animals. I have loved and cared for: -kittens, senior cats, and pregnant cats -puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs I’ve also had birds, fish, and bunnies. I have also volunteered with horses and other farm animals, although I’ve never personally owned any. I am currently a college student and a manager at an ice cream shop. I’m looking to help my community and fill my time! I work most days but, most of my classes are online. I am willing to be flexible! I am very particular when it comes to client care. I don’t believe you can “spoil” an animal because they’re our babies! Let’s take care of them the best we can together. Any requests for pet care are fine by me as long as the animal is safe and happy! My animals(I have 3 dogs and 2 cats) all get along well, are fed well, and regularly see a vet.

About: I am lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter, and proud cat mom. I’m a current graduate student new to the San Diego area, with over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. As a fellow pet parent, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly! As a graduate student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to plan my day around the needs of the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I have the availability to be present and consistent. As a reliable pet sitter with many years of experience, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet I care for. While I’m currently unable to offer in-home boarding, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most secure and at ease. I follow each pet's routine closely and will gladly provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.

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.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both small and large dogs. Before moving to Escondido, I regularly watched and walked dogs in my apartment complex, which gave me experience managing different temperaments in shared living environments. I’ve rescued and cared for several dogs, which has given me a strong ability to recognize and respond to the needs of anxious or stressed pups. I currently work in the pet service industry, so animal care and safety are always top of mind, and I have access to trusted pet care professionals whenever needed. Your dog will be cared for with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. I work from home full-time, so your pup will always have company, attention, and plenty of belly rubs throughout the day. Dogs are included in my daily routine with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods that match their energy level and needs. I’m happy to follow your dog’s established feeding, walking, and medication schedule to keep things consistent and stress-free. If there are ever any schedule changes, they will always be communicated well in advance. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having new friends around. I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. If your dog is anxious, shy, or prefers their own space, I can easily block off portions of my home to provide a quiet, secure area just for them. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where every dog feels at ease and cared for.

About: I have a deep love for animals and specialize in premium Estate & Multi-Pet Care. While I provide patient, heartfelt care for dogs of all ages, my expertise goes much further. I am highly experienced in managing households with diverse pets: including cats, farm animals (chickens), and exotics (turtles, lizards). I understand the logistics of running a large property and ensuring every single animal gets individualized attention. What sets me apart is my calm presence, emotional sensitivity, and total reliability. My goal is to give you absolute peace of mind: your home will be perfectly secure, and all your pets will feel safe, understood, and loved like family. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. As an independent professional, I divide my time between home and pet sitting, managing projects for my house-painting business, and doing some local deliveries during the day. Because I control my own schedule, I stay flexible, return home for lunch, and remain nearby throughout the day. In the evenings, I am always in for the night, so your pets will have plenty of company, care, and attention when they need it most. My goal is to keep their routine consistent, make them feel safe and loved, and give you peace of mind knowing both your pets and your home are being cared for with respect and responsibility. I offer both in-home pet sitting and boarding. In your home, I keep your pets’ routine familiar and consistent while respecting your space, following instructions closely, keeping things clean and secure, and sending photo updates. I can also help with basic home care, such as mail/packages and plant care. For boarding in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment and only host one family’s pets at a time. In both cases, my priority is your pets’ comfort, safety, and routine.

About: I love dogs and cats! I own one of each, and have fostered about forty. I have learned great leash-training skills, and behavior management of fearful dogs to help them feel more comfortable. I am fit and enjoy exercise, so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or even hikes! I can also administer treats on a walk if a dog needs some leash-training. Most importantly, I will treat your pup with kindness and affection. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the summer and holidays. For care in my home, I only live about five minutes from work, making it easy for me to check on animals during the day. For care in your home, I bring my own dog with me overnight. She is good with other animals. I am currently home full time for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside and love to take dogs for walks. I am also happy to chill inside and relax and give scritches. In my home, I have a secure fenced yard outside and a large crate available inside. At others’ homes I am respectful of my surroundings and treat all animals and property with great care.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Escondido

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Escondido on Rover is $25.53 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 10,627 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Escondido. 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 Escondido 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 Escondido. 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.
