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. My mom used to breed dogs so I am familiar with puppies as well. I've had all kinds of pets growing up from rodents to birds! As a small woman, I prefer small to medium sized dogs (under 50lbs) that I can physically handle in case they are leash pullers. I am happy to take care of larger dogs if they are more mellow. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling. When housesitting, I can stay at your place for the majority of the day, but I no longer do overnight stays as I am a light sleeper and need to be in my own bed at night. Please note this before contacting me if you need overnight coverage. 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!

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!

“Alexia did an outstanding job visiting my boy while I was away for two nights! Super nice, kind, responsible, and excellent in every way. Can’t wait to have her watch him again. Thank you, Alexia!”

About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

“Amazing sitter! Very communicative and follows instruction very well. She spent a little extra time with our kitties because of all the medications one of them has. We are very appreciative!”

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!

“Darya was wonderful! She responded right away and was able to come every day to check on, feed, and scoop the litterbox for my elderly Siamese cat. She sent adorable pictures and a daily status report. She is worth every penny for the peace of mind that allows you to enjoy your vacation instead of feeling guilty about leaving your angel on their own.”

“Thank you soo much for watching our three furbabies. Taking the time to mix up and spilt their foods. Also, big thank you for always taking care of our babies litter boxes~! We’d love for you to watch them again another time.”

“- [ ] Working with Petunia is a total pleasure! We have 2 older dogs, one of which is a very excitable poodle, and Petunia's patience and kindness are so apparent when handling animals. She’s exactly who you want greeting your animals when you’re not there! - [ ] Petunia has made us feel so at ease and relaxed with our animals in her care, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She is always on time, communicative, reliable, and our dogs are so happy to see her! So are we! Highly recommend Petunia and her services if you want top notch care!!”

About: I am Bradley and I have taken care of dogs for the past 10 years. My own dog is almost 9 years old, 20 pounds, and is very friendly. I dog sit pretty often and love have extra furry friends stay with us. We have close access to grass for potty breaks and Balboa Park is only a few blocks away. We love to get outside and walk the neighborhood. I work from home, so I have lots of time to make sure any dogs staying with me has plenty of time to get outside and play. I typically am outside with my dog 4x a day. My own home has plenty of space to roam around. My dog is very friendly but typically keeps to herself even when other dogs are around. I am always available to help your dog for any particular need they might have.

About: I have a cat of my own for three years now so I am very familiar with working with animals and caring for them. I am trying to get my foot in the animal industry so I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn more about animals and care for them. I do work part time in the mornings during the week but in the afternoon and nights I have full availability and able to work around my schedule if full time hours are offered. I currently have two dogs in one cats. I have a blue Doberman, Belgium, Melany, German👽 Shepherd mix and a long hair domestic cat. The dogs have had for about seven years now. And my cat. I’ve had for about three years, so I am very familiar with caring for animals, attending to their needs.

About: Hi! I love dogs and spending time outside, so dog walking is the perfect combo for me. I’m easygoing, reliable, and comfortable with all kinds of dogs. I’ll make sure your dog gets good exercise, attention, and lots of love—and I’ll keep you updated along the way 😊 I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays to drop in or take your dog on walks. If you work on the weekends or are away for the day I can help check in on your dog 😊 Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I follow your routine, use safe walking practices, and keep you updated so you can feel at ease.

About: I have had dogs and cats from a very young age. I, (Stephanie) joined, the military was stationed overseas and often I would take care of dogs when people would leave for deployment it’s difficult being away from your furry friend but I’m happy to take over when you go!♥️ Isaac too has a long history of care taking of dogs since he was young on a farm. He similarily has military in his family including his father and sister and understands the challenges of being away from the ones you love. Our competition takes on 10-15 dogs. We give one on one time and attention to your pet which is rare in the industry. We take the responsibility to care for your dog very seriously and have back up help to protect and keep your dog safe and sound while you are away!👷🏾‍♀️⛑️ We love animals!. No worries when it comes to your pets meal times, no troubles when it comes to your pets medications, ( I use to do medication administration) no doubts that your four legged-love is going to have a fun time when it comes care. All we ask is that you give us the best instructions so they can be at their happiest until their furmom/furdad return home. I’d also like to share that I send a daily for the update for your pet!

“Jarrod was great with my dog Brook!! She is normally very shy around new people but she liked him instantly! He also made sure to wait to feed her after the walking her”

About: I've been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years. I own a small dog myself and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone responsible and attentive. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment, respecting routines, feeding schedules, and walks. I always observe the dogs' body language and act with patience and care. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, as I organize my activities to be present and attentive throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to supervise, play with, and attend to the needs of each pet. I adapt to their feeding, walking, and rest schedules so they feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay. I provide a calm, safe, and supervised environment. I always respect each pet's routines and preferences, observe their body language, and act with patience. I keep the areas clean and safe, and I take controlled walks according to the owner's instructions. If I care for the pet in their home, I follow all instructions to maintain their usual space and routine.

About: I have always been an animal lover. Since I grew up I have been surrounded by pets. I will take care of your cat and dog like they are my own. I have an open schedule during day and night and weekends. We can always coordinate a convenient schedule. I am very flexible and will work upon my clients needs. I will make sure to comply with all the instructions given by the parents. If the pet has a special need or has special food I will make sure everything is well taken care off.

“Mariah was an incredible sitter for my cat! She was responsive, flexible, and friendly, sending plenty of pics/videos and keeping my cat happy while I was gone. She was super careful about safety-related issues and asked important questions to make sure my cat would be happy and healthy. Mariah was easy and enjoyable to work with, and I would definitely ask her to watch my cat again!”
