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.

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.

About: I have cared for various pets of friends and family for 5+ year. My experiences include dog walking, pet sitting, and drop in visits to feed or play with pets. I have cared for a variety of dogs such as: hyper pit bulls, elderly golden retrievers, anxious pugs, etc. With my experience I have learned that to have a working relationship with pets building rapport with those pets is just as important as building rapport with humans. I currently work as a medical assistant Monday through Friday but am I’m happy to incorporate evening walks in my weekly routine or even be available for drop in visits and quality time during my lunch. I am always free all day Saturdays and Sundays. I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe when it comes to entering/exiting homes as well as when they are being left home alone. I will always follow what we safety guidelines are provided to me to ensure your pet’s safety is always accounted for.

“Lisa goes above and beyond to care for my pitbull and kitty while I'm gone. She takes my pup on extra long walks, sends lots of photos, and is super communicative. I appreciate the peace of mind in knowing they are being cared for as though they are her own! Thank you so much Lisa 💚”

About: Cared for my own, and friends pets, and raised two puppy litters. Large yard, lots of toys, and love to give to your furry friends.

Patient with all pets.

About: I grew up with dogs, from Shihtzus to Boxers, and kitties from short hair Tabby to long hair Siamese. I always say yes to watching my friends animals when they go on trips as I don’t have a fur baby of my own yet. They all deserve the most love and attention and I want you to feel safe that I would treat your pet as my own. I am in the process of retiring from the military so hanging out with animals is just the boost of seratonin I love! A must is sending you regular updates and photos to keep you in the loop! I retired from the Navy January 1st of this year so my schedule is super flexible! I have class Tuesday and Thursday mornings but that’s my only solid commitment at the moment. If your animal needs to be crated that is doable, as well as letting them roam free in the house or to come for adventures along my side.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. From energetic pups that need long walks to older dogs that prefer slower strolls and extra attention, I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day—no one gets lonely on my watch! I love keeping dogs active with walks, games, and belly rub breaks, and my spacious, secure yard is perfect for running, sniffing, and a little zoomie fun. I also enjoy spending time with cats, giving them gentle pets, cozy spots, and extra love while making sure they feel safe and happy. Being home means I can follow each pet’s routine, offer plenty of cuddles, and make every day fun and stress-free for your furry friend. I have a large fenced in yard where your pup can play fetch and have endless potty breaks but also have the ability to crate if needed!

“Katherine was the best. Super professional and great at communicating + warm and fuzzy with my dog. My dog clearly loved her”

About: I have worked with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I love seniors, puppies, and all ages! I have experience with senior dogs who need that extra special care. I have been dog/cat sitting for my friends and family for over 15 years and I am very excited to meet more furry friends to add to my life. I am excited to meet you and your beloved pet! I currently work from home full time and am able to accommodate your pets needs. I can take them on potty breaks as needed and on a walk before , mid day and after work. I am open to your pets needs and energy level. I can accommodate your needs for your dog. If you want them crated, I can do that. I can do special diets and rigid feeding times. You tell me what you want and we can make it happen.

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a husky and has since fostered dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently live in South Park, right between Golden Hill, North Park, and Balboa Park, making it easy for me to take your pup on enriching walks through some of San Diego’s best dog friendly neighborhoods. Because I regularly foster, I have extensive experience with: • High energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between • Puppies • Medical fosters: including administering oral meds, topical treatments, and basic care instructions My priority is always your dog’s comfort and happiness. Whether your pup needs structure, slow introductions, extra cuddles, or a calm environment, I take the time to understand their routine so they feel safe while you’re away. I provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pup will be treated like family here. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced sitter or walker in South Park / North Park / Golden Hill, I’d love to help care for your dog! I look forward to meeting your pup! I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent attention and care. On my days off, I love being outdoors and frequently walk around my South Park neighborhood, so your dog will get lots of fresh air, movement, and enrichment. I’m available throughout the day to keep your pup’s routine on track and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and fully cared for from morning to night. I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I make sure every pup is walked on a consistent schedule, fed according to their routine, and given plenty of playtime and affection. Because I foster regularly, I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities and energy levels, from high-energy dogs who need lots of activity to shy or slow to warm up pups who need patience and gentle structure. I also prioritize mental stimulation throughout the day through enrichment activities, sniff walks, puzzle toys, and training games to keep your dog engaged and happy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your dog’s routine closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

“Kalista was so sweet with our pup! She made time to do a meet and greet on short notice and quickly won over Indie. We are so grateful and will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I understand leaving your baby with a stranger can be scary at first, I am here to help ease the worry! I grew up caring for and loving all animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, lizards, snakes, fish, hamsters, amphibians, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, horses, pigs, cows, chickens, goats. I would spend my weekends on a farm and had many animals growing up! I am also very eager to learn about new animals and grow my experience. I recently had my dog pass away and looking to help with the loss. I will take care of your animal as if it were my own. I work full time with a hybrid WFH schedule that I can choose. Sometimes it is necessary to go into the office but it is only two minutes away from home. My boyfriend also has a hybrid WFH schedule. I understand it can be scary leaving your animal with someone you don’t know. I don’t have any other animals and will give your animal my undivided attention. Willing to do meet and greats before hand as well!

“Vanessa is great with my 9month old dog and my dog adores her. I have never seen my dog warm up to someone so quickly. I can tell that she genuinely has a huge heart for dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable dog sitter/walker with 3 years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, including caring for a nervous and timid dog. I know how to build trust, stay calm, and make dogs feel safe and comfortable. With my military experience, I bring strong responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I only work with dogs and welcome all sizes. I also prefer a meet-and-greet before booking to understand your dog’s needs and make sure it’s the perfect fit. I’m open to discussing pricing outside of Rover due to platform fees, so we can find something fair for both sides. Looking forward to caring for your pup like my own! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting with flexible hours (I work 8:00 AM–12:00 PM), and I’m very accommodating to different schedules your pet may need to ensure consistent and reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine closely to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks, medication, and any specific care instructions. I provide calm, attentive care and respect each dog’s personality, especially those who are shy or timid. I also keep the home clean and secure while treating it with respect. I do not offer in-home boarding, as I have a timid dog of my own and prefer to keep a low-stress environment for all pets.

“Our pup loved his walks with Savannah! I usually stress abt having anyone care for him in my absence, but she made the whole thing very easy and worry-free for us. We even got little report cards of his walks and activities. We’ll def be using her again! 🤍”

About: My late fur baby had CKD and oral cancer. I am experienced caring for special needs cats as I kept her comfortable as long as possible and I’m familiar with administering meds and other sick fur baby needs. If my love was as vast as any cat’s appetite, than your fur babies will be cared for in your absence multiple times over. Available weekends and evenings. I work and live centrally in Talmadge and near Adams Ave and can be available within 15 mins drive to most residences in metro San Diego. I have a dog park at my apartment complex, an outdoor gated walking space, and will look after your pet like family. Even though I have a cat, Bougie knows how to share his space indoor with your fur baby. If you prefer I can drive to you to spend time with them and perform the duties of a responsible pet sitter.

About: I am very experienced in pet sitting dogs, cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs in their own homes. I have been pet sitting for 19 years. I no longer accept animals with resource guarding issues, as I have experienced safety concerns. I am a full-time online graduate student and work while in school. Working on schoolwork from home allows me the flexibility to visit pet households and create a routine if needed. I only watch animals in their own homes for their best interest/comfort. I find that most animals prefer being in their own homes while their owners are away.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old when I got my first dog. I now have two dogs and have cared for mine, as well as other peoples dogs :) I have two dogs to care for: a 2 year old chihuahua terrier and a 13 year old chihuahua/dotson mix! I take them on walks, make sure they're fed, bathe them and give them all the love they need :) I make sure they're not getting into anything they're not suppose to, make sure they get outside for walks and general outside time/car rides, snacks when they're being good!
