“10/10 would recommend Charlie and Shanna! They kept our pup while we vacationed to San Diego and were so amazing to us! They gave updates, were super flexible and were a great first experience with Rover!”

“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”

“Virginia is an amazing pet sitter. She truly cares for the animals and the clients she is working with. She follows instructions well and gives updates daily and answers questions or concerns in a timely manner. She gave me peace of mind while I was away. 5 stars.”

“We couldn't have been happier with everything, from how quick and responsive Erica was to our first inquiry, to her professionalism asking questions about our two dogs and their needs. Our pooches came back calm and happy. Thank you again, Erica!”

“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”

About: I have never known a life without a pet of some kind. Having animals, I learned very early on the importance of responsibility as well as empathy for the feelings and lives of others. Just as we pay attention to human body language for cues, the same standard comes into play for animals. Because they can’t speak like we do, it is important to be attentive as well as respectful of their needs. I have 10+ years of experience from not only my own array of pets (dogs, geckos, horses, chickens, ratties, cats, etc), but also from my main line of work. I have been an in home nursing assistant for 5 years, beginning with taking care of my great grandmother and her dog in her home which blossomed into the career I know and love today. My integrity and compassion for both animals and humans has led to many opportunities for me. From walking dogs for neighbors and friends, grooming assistance, occasional medical assistance, Overnight sitting/boarding, and even small excursions for enrichment, all the way down to childcare in some cases. I am a child at heart and with animals, my spirit is at play. they bring just as much joy to my life as I hope to bring to theirs. I’d love to treat your furrever baby like my own while you’re away 🤍 I am currently taking a break from my human patients and putting more emphasis on building my animal care portfolio. I’d like to become a pet sitter/walker full time while back in school. I am able to provide A well enriched and attentive home with lots of toys and attention to offer. There is a park less than 5 minutes walking distance as well that I’d be happy to take your pet to visit for potty breaks and play, should that be okay with you. I don’t particularly like to crate dogs, however, if that is their safe space or they happen to be crate trained that’s no issue at all/is appreciated if they do not do well being left alone for an hour or so at a time. Communication is key and you will always be contacted should anything of concern arise.

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, ranging from household pets to farm and ranch animals. I grew up on a 7-acre property where I was constantly surrounded by animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I also spent time as a competitive horseback rider, which provided additional experience working closely with horses and other large animals. Alongside farm experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals. I currently have two large senior dogs—a Boxer and a Shepherd/Husky mix—who I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with everything from early training to senior care. I’m familiar with the unique care needs of smaller animals as well. I also have a two-year-old daughter who is very gentle and animal-loving, and she enjoys being around and helping with daily pet care and walks when appropriate. Because she will often be with me, I kindly ask that you let me know if your pets are comfortable around children so I can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are treated like family. My schedule is flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my two-year-old daughter. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, with availability for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I am home most of the time, I am able to adjust my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and any special care instructions your pet may have. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you’ll always know when I’m arriving and how your pet is doing. While I do have my daughter with me, I am intentional about only accepting bookings where I can ensure a safe, calm, and positive experience for both your pet and your home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In client homes, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am reliable, communicative, and always mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a structured, calm environment alongside my two senior dogs. I maintain a clean and organized space where animals can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing consistent, attentive, and compassionate care every time.

“Christopher and Cherry did a fantastic job making my little man feel comfortable. I got pictures updating how he was doing throughout the day which was a relief. He was very happy when I went to pick him up and will definitely use them again”

About: I've had my own dogs for the last 11 years. Before that I volunteered at the San Diego County Bonita Shelter years as well as dog sit, walk and bathe my friends dogs. I love to do lightweight training as well. I recently retired after 20 years in the Navy. With no more deployments or underways, I have plenty of time to walk and spend time with your pets. I have a fenced yard and 4 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can also crate if needed as I have multiple crates in different sizes.

“Obi was relaxed and looked like he had a great day with Bernice. She kept us up to date with texts and photos throughout the day. We will be using her again while we are visiting San Diego.”

About: Hello ! I have had dogs my whole life, small, medium and large dogs of all different kinds of breeds. The different dogs in my photos are dogs I’ve walked, boarded and pet sat for. I have boarded many different dogs before but I'm really eager to board for other families and their dogs on Rover. I worked at a veterinary clinic in San Diego so I have some knowledge on dogs, medical conditions (allergies, behaviors, etc.) and how to treat them. I'm a very easy going person and dogs are definitely a passion of mine. I will honor every request or concern for any type of service. Your dog and I will enjoy all the time spent if it's in your home or mine or simply on a walk. Whatever service you need I'm here for you and your dog ! Thank you so much ! :) I work from home full time so I’m able to have flexibility with my pet scheduling. Being home full time helps me be with your pet at every moment and monitor them with care. I have a fenced yard and one senior dog. He is very tiny and doesn’t give much attention to other animals (pretends they’re not there lol) he also has no teeth :)

“Jacob was very accommodating and quick to answer any of my questions. Very easy Going and has a nice house to accommodate my golden retriever. Highly recommended services. He is kind, professional and flexible.”

About: Hi! My name is Isabelle. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for at least 10 years! I miss having dogs around so I will love yours like my own. I work from home full time and can easily take lots of breaks to let your dog out! I also take 1-2 long walks a day. Feel free to bring their bed and any toys your dog may want to have with them. I don’t have a yard but plenty of space to walk them around.

“Bailey had a great time at Doggie Day Care last week. He played well with Jennifer's dog Harper and was treated to several walks a day, which he loves! We are booking again next week! Thank you Jennifer for the great care you provided for Bailey!”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and that passion has only grown over the years. As a proud dog mom for more than 15 years, caring for furbabies brings me so much joy—it's truly my dopamine! Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or providing a safe and loving environment, I treat every pet like family and care for them as if they were my own. I have been working from home since 2018. My schedule is 8-5pm M-F. My position allows me to be available to be available to tend to their needs. I also take my furbabies to the Dog park or on a walk before and after my shift. My home is central air-conditioned and heating. My backyard is fully fenced in. I work from home and have plenty of space for them to roam around, play and get comfy.Crates in our home are used as luxuries if they wanna nap or have personal space . They are also used for feeding time if they are a food protector. I enjoy giving them individual attention wether they are cuddles, ball players or enjoy walks. Every pet requires different things and I like to learn them to cater to their needs.

“Abigail was a great dog sitter! She sent me multiple updates throughout my dog's stay and was very pet friendly. Her dog Chewy was a great host as well. ”
