Paige was great! We came to San Diego with our pups on a trip and wanted to spend extra time away from our airbnb. She gave them some company and let them out. She sent me pictures while she was there and made us feel comfortable being away from our babies longer. Thank you!!

Vanessa was great! My cat tends to be skittish and kind of unwelcoming but he seemed to take to her super well. Appreciate all the extra effort playing and spending time with him.

Brittany does such a great job with my pittie Gilbert. When I'm out of town, he gets great comfort and companionship from Brittany. I get great updates which goes a long way in reassuring me when I'm away. 😀

Yesenia is awesome and has extensive experience with both cats and dogs. She was so patient with Axl as he is a puppy and a bit shy around people. She is responsive, has great communication during check-ins and take lots of pics. Thank you Yesenia 😃!

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.

Ivy was extremely communicative and caring when taking care of our two cats. She went above and beyond, taking time to figure out their favorite treat flavors, brushing them so well that their coats got way softer, and taking lots of cute pics and sending them our way while we were gone. We’ll definitely be working with her again!

Olivia is the most thoughtful and sweet pet sitter you could have. She sent us thorough updates that showed she cares about our cat and was following all our instructions. She even went out of her way to bring in our trash bins and packages. She’s been our go-to and will continue to be.

About: I have no specific pet care experience but I have had many dogs, cats, reptiles since I was young. I have an incredible love for life which extends to animals highly. I work as an independent contractor so I have a completely open schedule and love being around animals note than humans at times. I have a natural warmth that almost all animals can sense and immediately create lifelong friendships. Always positive and plan to give your pets the most exemplary sitting experience known to man. I am willing to study or brush up on specific requirements depending on the animals in my care. I am very active and love to run. So I can run with your dogs or walk them, whichever you prefer. Also have tons of energy to play and make them sleepy and relaxed. Currently I work as an independent contractor building a financial brokerage and do Lyft on the side in my free time. So my schedule is my own and would love to find regular clients who have pets that would want some love and attention when their owners have work or trips that they can’t bring them along for. My roommate has own dog personally who I always look out for and make sure he is taken care of with water and food if necessary. HI’s girlfriend who lives here with us as well has two smaller dogs and two cats as well that I make sure are all in well standard of living when I am home and notice they need something. Both of them are great pet owners but life can be busy so I’m always there making sure they get anything that might go unnoticed at times. We have a large fenced in backyard where all the dogs can play and run around as well as use the restroom at will. I also take them on walks if my roommate does not have time with his mobile mechanic business.

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!

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have taken care of family and friends dogs overnight and daily check ins. I currently have a 4 year old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon and we put in about 3-5 miles a day to get his energy out! My roommate also has a Labrador who joins us on walks as well. My dogs won't join your dog for a walk unless you specifically request play time. I am currently between jobs so I have a lot of time to take care of dogs. Available at any time and most days. Just need a day notice in advance and I can usually make it work. I have a fenced in front yard and two other dogs if your dog wants to play with others! Multiple walks a day, dedicated play time, and trips to the dog parks available.

About: When my friends go out of town, I am their go-to cat and dog sitter! I’m very caring and compassionate and offer the very best care to animals :) I’ve made such wonderful client relationships through Rover. I’m now able to expand my availability as I’m now living with my partner, Garrett, who works from home. Please note that he may support pet care during my weekday working hours. I have open availability on both weekdays and weekends. Boarding will work best for my schedule and routine, but I’m open to inquiries :) Please check my calendar for availability. My neighborhood is very safe, quiet, walkable, and pet friendly. We have a deck where your pet can enjoy sunbathing. I love detailed care instructions so that I can ensure your pet maintains their routine while you’re away. I love taking pets out for lots of exercise and cuddling with them at home. My partner works from home, so your pet will have LOTS of love and company even on weekdays while I’m away at work.

About: I have grown up with dogs in my household all my life and love all animals. I have my own rescue mutt and extensive experience working with all types of dogs. I would love to help out any families and make sure your animals are taken care of and comfortable! I work for the schools and I’m on summer break now and would love to help look after your pet. I have my own car so transportation will not be an issue. I have 1 dog and take her on multiple walks a day, to parks, beaches, and out on various outings. I am a very flexible person who wants to make sure your animals are comfortable and getting the attention they need. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, hikes, going to parks, being outside, and giving them cuddles.

Brandon was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G with my cat while I was out of town for the weekend. My cat can need a lot of stimulation at times & Brandon was not only great at keeping him engaged but was also exceptional at reading when my cat needed some chill time. It’s super special to have someone who “gets cats” & pays attention to their subtle communications. Brandon is super organized, thorough, great at communication & following through with instructions & plans. Thank you again!

Chelsea was awesome taking care of my cat, she went above and beyond. She checked his water and food daily, ensured he got daily pets, snacks, and play. Throughout the visit Goose even began to seek pets and attention something he does not usually do. She even went so far as to check and change out his litter bag since it was getting full towards the end of my trip. I am really happy with the service she provided and will happily rebook with her if I need petsitting services.
