Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Horton Plaza

“Christine was so amazing with our cat Nova! She played with her, fed her, and made sure her water and litter box was taken care of. She even supported with clean up after Nova threw up a little bit from eating too quickly. Nova is usually a little feisty but by the end she warmed up to Christine. Additionally, Christine scheduled a meet & greet with Nova prior to us leaving for the weekend- which was so appreciated as we were able to meet her, let our cat meet her, and provide instructions and directions in person. She is clearly knowledgeable about animals and went above and beyond to ensure Nova was well taken care of. She sent pictures and a little summary after each visit. She was kind, caring, and friendly & we definitely will have her take care of Nova again in the future. Would definitely recommend Christine!”

About: Hi there! I’m new to pet sitting on Rover, but I’ve been a lifelong dog lover! I’ve had my own Pomeranian names Simba for 10 years, so I know how special our furry friends are. Right now, I’m looking for a job, so I have lots of free time to give your pup the attention they deserve! I offer dog walking and daytime at-home sitting in Downtown and nearby areas, so your dog will have a buddy all day. I’m excited to meet your pup and keep them safe, happy, and active! Requested information about your pet I just ask to let me know in advance what NOT to do/say with your pet. For example, my Pomeranian gets crazy zoomies if you say ‘who’s there?’, he rushes to my front door, spins and bark and it till he will not get absolutely tired. I would also like to know all important details about your pet friendliness with other animals and humans, their health and of course your preferred Pet Hospital. I’m currently actively looking for a remote job in Tech so I have all the time in the world to spend quality time with you fluffy friend. As I have my own pup waiting for me at home, I am looking for more standard working hours I’m not able to host pets at my home, but I’m more than happy to stay at your place for multiple hours during the day. I’ll follow all your pet’s routines, instructions, and any safety measures you have in place. Just let me know your preferences, and I’ll make sure I follow them closely!

About: We travel a lot, which excludes us from having a dog, but we'd love to have a dog! We just can't make it work with our schedule, but we'd love to be with your pet, just as we've taken care of others'. We have an enclosed balcony and a large park nearby along with full run of the indoor living areas, and one of us would be home at all times, so needy dogs are ok. We'll give him or her lots of love, walking, and greenery as he/she needs and you'd want. We've taken care of several friends' dogs and cats at their homes and ours and thought we'd expand the circle to include anyone else. The husband has had dogs in the past, so we're no strangers to the care required, whether that's particular food, medication, grooming, etc. Just let us know what your pet needs! Jerry is retired and Silke works part time Mon/Tue/Fri and Wednesday mornings but am typically off too when we watch a dog. We love taking your dog on walks, play and snuggle. When we watch a dog, we plan our day with your dog! We have a 2 story loft condo with a balcony. The condo is right next to Pantoja Park, easy for potty breaks. We love going on walks, play and snuggle and consider ourselves party aunt and uncle to the dog we watch, meaning we are very attentive and intuitive what your dog needs.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have three years of professional experience working at a dog daycare facility. In that role, I’ve been trained in pack walks, structured solo walks, enrichment activities, and a wide range of services related to daycare and overnight care. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment for both dogs and their owners. I’ve also been trained by professional dog trainers and earned in-house certifications in areas such as managing aggressive behavior, separation anxiety, canine behavior, and basic dog health and symptom recognition. Additionally, I have experience managing large groups of 10 or more dogs of varying sizes and breeds. I work with dogs every day and bring my own two, Lucky and Lainie, with me to work. While my schedule is consistent throughout the week, I’m able to offer some flexibility and I'm currently most available on Sundays and Mondays. At this time, I’m unable to host clients’ pets in my home or stay at their home. I hope to offer this options in the future and appreciate your understanding.

“I booked Aleksandra for two drop ins. Arranging key drop off was easy. She followed directions well and made sure my auto cat feeders and fountain were working. She also gave my clingy elderly cat a cuddle! She even got an action shot of my skittish young cat, I didn’t expect her to even see him lol. Would book again.”

“Darya was an excellent caretaker for our 2 cats with twice daily drop in visits. She took time to play with our babies and get them lots of pets. We could tell by the pictures she sent that both cats were very appreciative of her care. We would hire Darya again!”

About: I have had many dogs and help take care of many dogs. I have never had a problem and dogs are always happy with me. Respectfully will only watch dogs that are friendly, loving, and not aggressive. I work full time from home so can be with your dog all day :) happy to walk them and play with them through out the day. They wouldn’t have to be locked up all day. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too

“Ramisha took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. Being my first time using Rover, I was a bit anxious but she was very sweet and responsive and my cats warmed up to her very quickly! I would definitely recommend her for any pet needs and will be rebooking her for future needs. :)”

About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog. I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!

“I could not have had a better experience with a better dog sitter than Jarrod. From the first moment I requested to book she was attentive and responsive even willing to do a meet and greet that day because my trip was very last-minute and I need to book him for the day after. When he came for the meet and greet he was already so loving and attentive with my doggo (Bear) and was eager to ask questions and understand what was expected of him. Throughout my trip he was so communicative sending me pictures and updating me on how each visit went, letting me know if she was feeling any types of ways and if she ate and went to the bathroom. Sent the most adorable pictures which Ofcourse I appreciated. After my original booking was over I had an emergency extension for work and Jarrod made it extremely easy to communicate with him to come back that night and to extend the booking. So happy I took the chance with this app and hire jarrod I will definitely be rebooking with him for future trips!!”

“Forever grateful to have Petunia as our regular sitter. I swear my little kittos are disappointed when I get home because they love her so much. The peace of mind we get from knowing our little cats are with her is priceless.”

Leah B.

“Madelyn made it happen for me with a last minute cat sitting request and I could not be more appreciative! She was communicative and sent lots of good photos of my kitty while she was there. Would definitely book again.”

Gemma K.

“We had Andrea drop in 2x daily for our 2 cats while we were away. The updates were great and we were at ease knowing they were being cared for properly. Definitely will use her services again!”

About: I currently have the privilege of having two senior dogs that have been in my care for 13 years. I am aware of the patience, love and commitment it takes, having and caring for a pet that solely relies on you. I am comfortable administering medications and dealing with food modifications. I have also helped foster in the past. I am home during the day, with light serving shift 3 times a week at night. Long or short walks are available, as well as playtime, boarding and overnight care. My home is your pets home! I love my neighborhood. While I do not have direct access to a back yard, I am super close to multiple dog parks and live in a very walkable neighborhood.

About: I treat every pet like my own, giving them the same love, care and patience I give my own pup. Plus my job allows me to have an endless supply of treats and toys for every need. I currently work at a pet ret retail company headquartered in San Diego! This allows me to have a pet friendly work place and also the flexibility of working from home if needed. I have a very nice and playful mini Aussie that loves company and is always willing to go on walks or play around at home.

“As a first time user of the app I was very grateful that I chose the right person to drop in and look after daisy while I was gone for the day.”

“Kaitlyn was extremely communicative, punctual, kind, good-humored, and got along very well with my cat. My cat seemed well cared for when I got back from my two week trip and everything was tidy and in its place. I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kaitlyn!”

Mike V.

“Marie is fantastic. A breath of fresh air to coordinate with and even leaves treats for both me and my dog. She is responsive, responsible and you should book her unless it’s when I want her then move along!”

About: Hi, I'm Halle! I live in downtown SD with my roommate. We currently have a 20lb dog at home who I help take care of. I've had all kinds of pets growing up from rodents to birds! As a small woman, I prefer smaller dogs (under 40lb) that I can physically handle in case they are leash pullers. I am open to taking care of larger dogs if they are more mellow. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I prefer to walk dogs in the downtown area since I live right here but will travel farther for a longer house sitting job. If housesitting, I can be with your pets most of the day. I recognize that every pet has different needs and personalities. I do my best to keep their routine consistent and familiar so they feel safe and calm while their family is away. I am open to accommodating whatever preferences you and your pet may have!

“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Dexter! She was very attentive, kept us updated with amazing videos, and made sure Dexter had plenty of playtime and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about him, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
