“Jovi was great!! She didn’t just feed my cats, but she took the extra time to play with them and love on them during each visit :) I even got cute little picture updates which let me know they were thriving in her care.”
About: Having been a pet owner for 13 years, I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge on how to provide consistent and high-quality care. We work full time but our schedule allows us to be flexible! I am available for walks early starting in the early afternoon, and available for boarding any day of the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I have designed my home environment to provide a secure sanctuary for dogs of all ages and sizes.
About: Hi! I’m Briana, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Duke and Lola. Duke is my sweet, playful adult pup, and Lola is the newest addition to our family—a lovable Labrador puppy! Having a puppy again has given me plenty of recent, hands-on experience with potty breaks, puppy energy, routines, playtime, and lots of patience. 🐾 I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is to make both you and your pup feel completely comfortable. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family—with lots of love, attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of updates and photos for you along the way. ❤️ With both an adult dog and a puppy at home, our house is definitely dog-friendly! I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal routine, whether they’re high-energy and ready to play, love long walks, or would rather curl up next to me for a nap. Most importantly, I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, loved, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. My goal is for them to have such a great time that they’re excited to come back! I work remotely, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with the pups in my care throughout the day. I’m available during the week, on weekends, and on holidays, and I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal schedule. Since I have two dogs of my own, Duke and my Labrador puppy Lola, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention are already part of my everyday routine! 🐾 I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. ❤️ I have two friendly dogs, Duke and Lola, who love having furry friends around. I’ll follow your pup’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, sleeping arrangements, medications, and any special instructions. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone else, so you can expect plenty of photos and updates while they’re with me!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of friends/famiky co-workers while being in the navy the past 8 years. I’m currently taking care of my brothers dog while he is deployed. I only work a few hours a week, so when my friends go out to see, I will watch/ walk their pets I’m currently working around 4-5 hours a day so I’m pretty much free all day after 12-1pm. I would be able to walk/feed pets before I go to work and anytime after I get out I have a fenced backyard that my dog and my brothers dog that I’m currently taking care of use. They are both trained in and outside the crate. They are both friendly dogs but will be put in the crate if needed
About: Hello! I’m a lover of cats and dogs of any size, shape! I’ve watched dogs and cats since my freshman year of college & love to meet new animals! I’m working full time at Encore Global but would love to help out if you’re away, or need someone to stop by before or after work! I’ve grown up with animals for forever & have always been fond of them! I’m a caring individual for cats and dogs & would love to watch & play with yours
About: Caring for animals is a lifelong passion, rooted in growing up around farm animals and currently sharing my home with my own dogs and cats. Over the past five years, I have dedicated myself to providing reliable, compassionate support for pets of all kinds. From energetic dogs and curious cats to horses and farm animals, I treat every companion as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a consistent, stimulating routine while strictly adhering to dietary needs and safety protocols. Having grown up with farm animals and hands-on experience with both young pets and senior animals, I know how to tailor my care to every stage of life. Whether I am managing high-energy play or ensuring a calm environment, I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness above all else. I remain calm and responsible during any situation, keeping you informed every step of the way. I truly love witnessing the unique quirks that make your pets special, and I would be honored to provide them with the dedicated care they deserve. I'm currently working part-time at another company, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets or take them for walks in the mornings. My schedule would be from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday. I could come on weekends, but that would be on an as-needed basis and only in the mornings. I take great care of my pets and others as if they were my own. I understand that they have needs just like people do; they are beings that require attention and good nutrition, which is why I like to take them for walks, play with them, let them rest peacefully, and feed them well.
About: As a proud dog mom, I understand that pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. Caring for my own dog has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of routine, exercise, and lots of love. From daily walks and playtime to recognizing subtle changes in behavior, I’m attentive to every detail that keeps a pup happy and healthy. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I treat every pet as if they were my own — with safety, affection, and reliable care at the forefront. I’m currently in the military so my schedule is very unpredictable. There are times when I have significant time off allowing much flexibility or there are times when my availability will become much limited.That said, I’m big on communication and keeping my calendar updated. I only take bookings when I know I can fully show up and give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. If I commit to you, you can count on me! When I’m caring for a pet in their home, safety is always my top priority! I make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure before and after walks, and I’m careful to prevent any escape risks. I follow all instructions exactly as given — feeding routines, medication schedules, crate use, and house rules — to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I’m mindful of potential hazards like foods left out, small objects on the floor, or anything that could be chewed or swallowed. During walks, I use secure leashing practices and stay alert to surroundings, other animals, and traffic. I also provide regular updates so you feel confident and informed while you’re away. Your home will be respected, and your pet will be cared for like family. ((:
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10. I had a boxer mixed pitbull. I love being around animals and I love dogs. I’m currently working a part-time job only on the weekend I’m very lenient with my schedule and I have a lot of time to fill and I would love to spend that time with your animals. I will ensure to walk across the crosswalks pick up poop and ensure your dog is safe healthy, and hydrated. I will also ensure that your dog is healthy.
“Julie was very accommodating of my last-minute booking request and made sure she had all the info she needed to properly care for my dog. Great sitter who goes the extra mile!!”
About: Besides caring for my dogs I have a lot of experience. I’ve fostered old dogs until they happily passed. I’ve administered medication. I’m also a medical assistant so injections are not scary. I work full time and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during evenings and on weekends. I plan visits around my work schedule so I can give your pet dedicated attention without rushing. Boarding may also be available on select dates, please message me to discuss your pet’s routine and the care you need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions while maintaining a clean and secure environment. I have friendly resident dogs, and introductions will be supervised to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Tyler is the best! We recently moved to Imperial Beach and were nervous about hiring a new pet sitter. But Tyler followed all of our instructions and took great care of our kitty Zoe while we were away for three days. We're looking forward to having him take care of Zoe in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Sophia and I'd love to take care of your fur babies! I currently work at an emergency pet hospital which makes me a good option for knowing if your baby is not feeling too good or is taking medication. I've also volunteered at the animal shelter for a few years cleaning kennels and walking dogs. I also volunteered at the medical room and helped pre and post surgerys. In addition, I also graduated in Animal Science from UC Davis. I have always loved animals and would love to take care of yours. I am currently on summer break from college so I am available anytime to take care of your pets! I can work mornings or nights. If your fur baby was in my home, I have one dog and he's super sweet and does well with other dogs. I take him on a walk at least once a day and would do the same for yours. I can adjust to your preferences if you'd prefer special diet for your pets such as bland chicken and rice, if they prefer to be inside or outside and play with them as frequent as possible.
About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve lived with up to 5 dogs at a time. Now, I am the proud momma of two cats, Zoe and Emma. You can describe me as the millennial whose sole purpose is to provide a full and fun life for my fur babies. At this time, I am a full time student and on my off days I hope to care for and go on walks with your fur babies. I plan my responsibilities ahead of time, so my calendar will be updated regularly to give you the most updated availability. I am always aware and present during my time with pets. I will prioritize their safety and well-being. I would love to have meet and greets where you tell me all about your specific concerns and we can talk about how I can help ease those concerns!
“My pup loves her already and I am excited for future bookings with her! Melissa is punctual & has a sweet / caring presence that speaks to my fur baby who has anxiety and typically takes time to warm up to people! Thank you for the cute pics too, Melissa!”
About: Hi there! I’m a certified veterinary assistant and veterinary technician with over 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine and approximately 7 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As both a veterinary professional and a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort, and caring for senior pets and dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I provide calm, attentive care tailored to them. My goal is to treat every dog like family and give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced, compassionate hands. I work full time at an all feline hospital and also work at a veterinary emergency hospital. I’ve been working full time since I was 18. If you want me to be more specific, I even had my own business in dog training and grooming when I was 16! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal isn’t just to ‘check in’ on your pet, it’s to provide the same level of attentive, compassionate care I’d want for my own animals.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Jovi. She consistently goes above and beyond and I genuinely don’t know what I would do without her at this point. Having 4 cats can be a lot… especially when I’m away but knowing Jovi is taking care of them gives me complete peace of mind She doesn’t just stop at making sure they’re fed and taken care of… she treats my cats and my home like they’re her own!!! During this stay, she brought in a HUGE delivery for me that I definitely wasn’t expecting her to have to deal with, went out and bought cat litter when it was needed, and even cleaned up around the house. I came home and somehow my house was cleaner than when I left!!! 😭😭😭 None of that was expected or asked of her, which just shows the kind of person she is. What means the most to me is how much my cats genuinely love her. All 4 of them are comfortable with her, and even my extremely shy cat, who normally takes forever to warm up to people, has started trusting her and coming around her more. That alone says so much!! Cats know when someone is patient gentle and genuinely cares about them, and it’s obvious that they feel completely safe with Jovi 💖 She pays attention to the little things keeps me updated, and always makes me feel like my babies are in the best hands possible. I never have to worry about whether they’re getting enough attention or whether something at home is being overlooked. She takes care of things without me even having to ask 🥹🥹 Finding someone you can completely trust with your pets & your home is rare, especially when your pets mean as much to you as mine do to me. Jovi has become someone I can genuinely rely on and that is priceless 😭😭😭🫶🏽 I’m beyond grateful I found her and would recommend her over and over again. If you’re lucky enough to have Jovi available to watch your pets, book her. Your babies will absolutely love her!!!!
We had such a great experience with Deeanna watching Prince! She spent the evening playing with him, kept us updated, and even cleaned up his potty pads after he pooped. We came home to a happy pup and everything taken care of. 😊 We felt completely comfortable having Prince in her care and would definitely book with Deeanna again. Thank you for taking such good care of our little guy! 🐶🤎
Heather took great care of our 2 cats and pet hen while we were away. Our cats quickly took to her kind and calm demeanor during the meet and greet. She provided a written note with fun pictures for every visit. We looked forward to the updates, which helped alleviate stress of our travel. She handled a couple requests that came up and was very responsive throughout. We arrived back to happy, well cared for pets and a tidy home! We highly recommend Heather, and absolutely will re-book in the future.
Andrea is the BEST! She makes my cat feel so comfortable and always takes great care of him. She is the only person I book when I leave town and ill use her services every time she is available. Very reliable and kind. Great communication so you always know what's going on while youre away. I recommend her every time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Imperial Beach is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,437 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Imperial Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Imperial Beach. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
