“Katie took incredible care of our shy puppy. Her patience and kindness were evident in every update. Your pup will be lucky to have Katie around.”
“Sabrina did a great job with our pups! She was able to handle both of their personalities with ease and confidence. They both warmed up to her quickly despite one of my dogs being anxious of strangers. They got so many walks/outings plus one-on-one time. We definitely found our sitter for next trip! :)”
“Debbie is awesome. She watched our dog and house for 9 days and we came back to a spotless house and a happy pup. He sometimes eats his paws from anxiety when we are gone and everything was perfectly in tact :) She even left a fan at ground-level for him because it was a hot day. She really cares and it shows. Thank you, Debbie!”
“Meagan was an incredible sitter! She kept us informed sent great pics and I can tell that our pups were well taken care of! The last few times we noticed immediate behavior issues, but today we came home and it felt like we never left. I hope that Meagan will be available in the future when we leave the city because we would without a doubt choose her over anyone. Thanks so much Meagan!”

“Andrea was great with our dogs and home:) we truly appreciate her for taking care of them like they are her own. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Roni was a lifesaver after I had a last minute cancellation. We were able to meet and establish a dog-sitter relationship quickly and efficiently. Roni was communicative and sympathetic in a stressful moment for me. My dog, who can be slow to warm up with stranger, accepted Roni quickly. They followed instructions well and I’m excited to have such a good option next time I go on a trip.”

About: Hi, I’m Megan! While I’m new to Rover, I have years of dog and cat sitting under my belt. I recently moved to San Diego from the midwest and absolutely love caring for dogs and cats and have house and dog sat since I was 16 years old. I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, energy levels and ages! I live in Hillcrest/Bankers Hill area which makes me centrally located North Park, Downtown, Point Loma, Golden Hill, South Park, Mission Hills and Mission Valley! I work at my office in Kearny Mesa 5 days a week and can take my lunch break to check in on your pet. While I work a 9-5 office job, my work schedule is flexible and makes me available to care for your pet! I’m a morning person which makes me ready and available to walk or play first thing in the AM! I am very gentle and patient with animals, especially when they're getting to know me. I enjoy spending time with the pet making sure he/she is getting enough attention while their owners are away.
“Marcie is responsible, punctual, and a natural with animals! My cat Ozzie instantly connected with her. I had peace of mind that he was in great hands during my trip. She sent me regular updates and went above and beyond! She truly cares about animals and I highly highly recommend!!!”
“Easygoing, detailed. My dogs appeared to feel at ease with him. Was flexible. Walked my 2 dogs and took care of 3 dogs at the same time. Would hire him again , if I come back on vacation. Kept us informed of the dog’s behavior .”
“Brittani is GREAT. She took such great care of our 2 dogs, one of which takes medications. She communicated well, sent photos and gave them a lot of love and attention. She is very responsible, respectful of our space and conscientious. We feel confident leaving our dogs in her care and will be booking her services again in the future.”
“Tianna was amazing as always! She took care of our girls for 8 days while we were out of town. During the stay she sends amazing video and picture updates! Also, the house is always cleaner than we left it. Tianna is the absolute best and would highly recommend to anyone!”
About: I pay attention to the needs of pets depending on each specific animal. I go above and beyond to make sure they get the care they need and deserve! I currently have open availability. I grew up with dogs and cats and loved them dearly. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I have open availability i’m free anytime throughout the week and weekend. Just moved here so this is my only job right now. Will update if schedule changes. I care for pets by going off instructions left from owners all while making sure they have the best time playing and having fun together. I have experienced with senior dogs and special care dogs. One of my dogs growing up was partially crippled so she required extra TLC.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life. My family had two dogs and three cats that I helped feed, train, and play with. Now, friends refer me to their friends to house sit and take care of their pets. I love to get my steps in walking dogs! I like to learn what tricks and key words pet parents use to customize my care. I always love caring for cats too. Snuggle and play time with them is a joy! I work remotely from my house full-time, so I’m primarily looking for mid-day or after work walks or home visits, but I can be flexible. I’m also available for weekend services and house sitting with a few weeks notice. I am not able to care for pets at my home, but for house sitting and visits to your home, I follow all basic routines and rules to make your pets safe and comfortable.
“Tehya was excellent in keeping in touch and sending photos and updates. She sat our 6-month old puppy, so tends to be skittish, but I could tell he loved her! She has a natural way with dogs and I felt comfortable with her from our first meeting. I’m pretty sure our pup wouldn’t mind having her over again. I highly recommend her and will use her services again - soon!”
