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!
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!
“Excellent provider of dog walks. Her services have greatly improved our houses quality of life. Jazmin is a great communicator and I feel no anxiety while she is walking our dog.”

About: Hello! I’m Raquel, the pet Nanny! I have been so lucky to have been a Pet Nanny to so many Furry Friends! I can’t wait to keep extending the fur family! I am available for both Dog/Cat Boarding along with House sitting depending on your pets needs. About Me: I have been in the animal care field sense 2004. But have been an avid pet lover and equestrian my whole life! I started my animal career being a pet sitter/walker and then started working in the boarding kennel (assistant manager) and then become a Vet tech! Currently work in the holistic vet field! For fun I like to competition train my dogs with my husband and do various dog sports with them! I’m also an AKC canine good citizen evaluator! I am fully trained vet tech and skilled in recognizing and handling emergency situations when it comes to your pets. Commutation is #1 in my book. I believe that it is absolutely necessary in order to provide excellent customer service. Throughout their stay, I will make sure to send you pictures and keep you updated on how your pet is doing. With commutation being my #1 goal owner can have peace of mind while they are way and letting their furry baby live their best life! Why I love Pet sitting: I have always been a animal lover and have even made a career out of it! Being a house sitter is one of my favorite parts of being a pet sitter because it allows pets to feel more at ease, have less separation anxiety, and feel comfortable sticking to their normal routine. You'll come home to the happy and healthy pets you had when you left! My experience administering medication * Giving your pet oral medications (pills or liquid) * Giving injections - SQ fluids, Insulin, ect. * applying medications in your dogs eyes and ears * applying topical medications, flush and cleaning wounds * Recognizing, Understanding, and Handling Emergency situations
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!
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.
“Lisa was awesome. So friendly with lots of love for my little Bichon. They walked the neighborhood, each day with a different walk. I would highly recommend Lisa for your dog sitting needs.”

“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!”
“This was my first time booking Shannon and I was very pleased with her communication, attentiveness and care that she gave my dog. I will definitely hire her again.”

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: I have raised dogs all my life and currently care for my two 8yr olds, a red-white Husky and a mysterious Retriever! I am no stranger to teeth whether they be big or small, and previously worked for a daycare/kennel facility in San Diego training in animal care and minor dog training. I like going for long walks, battling over toys, and giving scratches and cuddles. I am currently available 7 days a week, my hours can vary by client's need typically starting at 7am and ending around 8pm. Tuesdays hours are 7am-11am and again 2pm-8pm. I am always available for endless duties required to take care of all fur babies. Brushing (even when nipped at), walks to specific destinations, even simple cuddles just to start out. I care for all animals like I do my own, separate them when they anger each other, celebrate little wins and reward with treats, and bring them happiness in the absence of their owner!
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid. I volunteered at an animal shelter for a while and have continued helping animals in my community, including strays. I’m patient, flexible, and always pay close attention to each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care — while also giving their families peace of mind when they’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate pet care on both weekdays and weekends depending on availability. I’m always happy to work with pet parents to find what works best for everyone. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure each pet’s routine is respected. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I pay close attention to their behavior, needs, and comfort level, and I communicate clearly with families to ensure their pets are well taken care of at all times.
About: I grew up loving dogs and have always considered them to be more than a best friend. They’re a member of the family! After COVID, I started dog sitting for friends and family members in my free time because it was so fun, and it was a nice break from my full-time job as a copywriter for Walmart’s corporate team. In 2024, I took my love for dogs a step farther and got my own puppy. His name is Yukon, and he’s a lovable goofball with lots of energy. I’ve loved seeing his personality develop over the last two years and having chats with him about what makes him happy (he’s a Pomeranian Husky mix, so he’s always got lots to tell me!) It’s been such a joy to watch him grow into the happy little man that he is today. My goal as a sitter is to give your dog the best care that I can offer. I’ve house sat for dogs that need some senior care (daily medications/specific food requirements), puppies that are just learning to navigate the world, energetic breeds that have high activity requirements, and larger dogs. I love them all and I’d love to offer you peace of mind knowing that your fur baby will be in the best hands should you choose to trust me with their care. ❤️🐾 I’m currently working part-time as a personal trainer trying to build up that business, so I have plenty of available hours for house visits, walks, and playtime. I live in a fenced in community that is very dog friendly. Your dog will be able to interact with Yukon—who is always looking to make new friends!—and the dogs in the neighborhood if they choose. It’s a great environment for socialization as well as for safety. I have room to crate your dog if needed or they are happy to explore my home and it make it their own as well. 😊 *Please note*: If you are hoping to book me for house sitting on an overnight basis, I will not be able to leave my own dog unattended. He’s absolutely great with other dogs and he loves people as well. I’m more than happy to do a meet and greet to see if it would be a fit for you and your pet, but if this is something you are not comfortable with, please book another sitter for this service.
“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: I come from a big family and my parents always included a pet. We had cats big German shepherds little Jack Russell’s goldfish you name it I’ve always enjoy them especially the older I’ve gotten. I keep a very tranquil environment. I have a diffuser on no loud music I don’t vape smoke or drink or have people over. I believe your environment is like your sanctuary and affects your spirit so I try to incorporate that with your pet, which are like children very attentive I think a lot of love is important sunshine exercise nap time. Everything a person or child would need. There are zero distractions in my life so your pet will have my undivided attention.:) Have a very quiet life I work remotely. I enjoy the outdoors,fitness eating healthy . I enjoy my space so there won’t be guests, pets, children, boyfriends, etc. I do not smoke. I do not drink and I keep good energy in my home. A diffuser with essential oils and try to keep it a a peaceful sanctuary if you will I’m the ideal person to look after and pet sit. I’m loving patient and very much like a parent when it comes to pets I treat them like .:) I treat them as children.. make sure they’re fed warm clean, have loving interaction. working remotely I have the freedom to be very attentive and have a very flexible schedule so I can attend to your pets needs walks playtime, etc.
About: Dedicated Care for Your Little ones! I only take animals from one owner at a time, so your furbaby/furbabies will be getting all my attention. I've been a mom and auntie to a menagerie of furbabies and I can't wait to meet yours! I've been caring for pets all my life and I'm currently an empty nester, so your little ones will be getting all my love and attention. My goal isn't to be the most exciting sparkle in the room (unless that's a clear preference), just a safe, calm, and welcoming presence. I initiate trust by giving animals the space to come to me and listening to their language of need and desire. I enjoy playing and romping with kits and pups, and I also love to learn what an older cat or dog can teach me about fun and games, nurture, treasure hunting, and shy curiosity. Once we've gotten to know each other and I've learned a few of their games, we're soon snuggling and it is always hard to leave. I do not have any formal vet training, but I am willing and able to follow clear instructions for animals with special needs. Examples of specialty care experience include: Small and medium sized-dogs who have acute separation anxiety. Several months of weekend and overnight care for a canine cancer survivor. Nightly subcutaneous saline for cats living with kidney failure. Care for other small animals, including rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, and a ferret (5 years). Cat-walking (leashed). I enjoy taking pics and will send updates twice daily. I'm currently working from home part-time as a consultant, so I can flex my day's structure around your furbabies' needs. This means that if your furbaby is staying with me: I have lots of lap time available, with frequent walk/play breaks throughout my day. If you are looking for dedicated attention, we can discuss your needs related to my current schedule. When I'm boarding, I only work for one client at a time, so if you have a menagerie, let's talk. I often work outside on my deck and I have a fenced yard so I can supervise your little ones in the sun (and shade) during the day. If you prefer they stay inside when not playing ball, I can do that too and they'll still be able to watch the hummingbirds. My space is pet friendly and they are welcome on my comfy furniture and on the bed with me unless you want them crated or floor trained. I prefer you bring their own toys and dishes for safety, but can provide mine on your request. Structure and consistency can be very important, so I'll ask you about specific commands, rules, and what they are working on. When walking cats and dogs that I don't know well, I prefer not to socialize them with other animals or people. If you take them to dog parks etc., I'll need to understand their behavior and signals of when it is time to go. My house is small, but my yard is very large.
“Essence was fantastic with my anxious terrier, Rocky . She was patient, understanding, and provided regular updates with photos. Rocky was happy and relaxed after his walk. Reliable, caring, and highly recommended!”

Gateway dog parents share their Rover experiences
Armando was incredible to work with. He really came through for me in a pinch and gave me complete peace of mind the entire time. Super reliable and attentive, and just easy to coordinate with from start to finish. He was flexible with logistics, quick to communicate, and clearly cared about doing a great job. De verdad, I couldn’t have asked for someone better. 10/5 stars.

Anne was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Rumi! She took such great care of him and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. You can really tell how much she loves and cares for animals. Rumi was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind!

Alyssa is wonderful and patient with our Labrador pup who is going through his adolescent phase and scared of the world! She understands and takes her time with him. She is also wonderful with our other geriatric dog and cat, and has been very helpful with their quirks and watching them when they are post-surgical. We have used her for a few years and trust her with our fur kids!

Rachel is the one person I completely trust to care for my Charlie. She consistently goes above and beyond, treating her with the same love and attention as if she were her own. Charlie struggles with separation anxiety, but Rachel’s patience, kindness, and genuine care make all the difference. I truly don’t know what I’d do without her—I'd be lost without the incredible care she provides. I always feel at ease knowing she’s in such capable and compassionate hands.
