“Jovi was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, and I was very impressed with Jovi and the platform overall. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that our little fur baby was in great hands.”
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: I’ve grown up always having dogs and cats around and I currently volunteered at an animal shelter where I take dogs out for walks and help them get adopted. At one point I’ve had three dogs and a cat and was able to take the three dogs for a walk at the same time. I can also help reinforce any training you currently have. I’m currently doing an internship until 3:30pm M-F until mid December. I am available for dog walking M-F after 4pm and some weekends. I help take care of my brother’s dog by taking him on walks and training him. The biggest training tool I taught him was to have him wait for the release word before eating and entering a new space (such as when I open the front door).
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
“Heather was awesome! She took great care of my cats and kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves animals. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and had total peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely book Heather again and highly recommend her!”
About: If your dog struggles with anxiety, you've found the right sitter. I'll make sure your dog warms up to me quickly and feels loved and comfortable during the stay. I specialize in helping dogs feel calm, safe, and truly at ease, especially those who need a little extra patience and reassurance. Because I don't have pets of my own right now, your dog gets my complete, undivided attention. I've been an animal lover my whole life and have cared for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a Chihuahua I loved through his senior years when he went blind, and a French Mastiff who made me fall head over heels for big dogs too! I truly enjoy making each furry friend feel loved and secure while their humans are away. I work part-time from my phone for a marketing company, so I’m usually free and flexible to care for your pets and go on walks. I live in a house with my husband, our place is pretty spacious and open, we play fetch with the dogs in here often. Also, we have a medium size open patio in the back.
About: I am trustworthy and have good attention to detail . My one dog has specialized diet . I am familiar with that. I also have some experience providing liquid and pill medication with documentation I’m currently recovering from heart condition I have lots of time a need to walk as much as possible. So if your dog is active I’m your guy. I have a fenced yard two small dogs that are very dog friendly. Three water spots on the property. Inside and outside lounging options for woofs of all sizes and and ages
About: Been a lover of all animals since I was young. My mom had a full zoo growing up. From snakes I let hang out in my lap all day to sugar gliders, guinea pigs, rats, birds and of course DOGS ❤️ I have a 6 month terrir daschund and my last dog was a crazy, yet very lovable 3 year old rescue husky. So I've got your lil love bug if they're a cozy little lap dog to lots of experience with the big hyper high energy guys. Would love to take your fur baby out for a sunshine walk or a fluffy sleepover with me and my Cowboy 🤠 Doesn't hurt that I'm great at doggo photos!!! I currently have an open schedule and reliable transportation! Plenty of time to meet your pets needs. Perfect for those of you leaving out of town or 8+ hour shift workers! Cowboy and I have a small fenced in yard. Take roughly two walks a day. A short one around the neighborhood and a long walk on Imperial Beach. Can accommodate for your little one by bringing them along for the fun or taking them out for their own schedule!
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.
About: I have been a pet-sitter for nearly a decade. I was working with Peace of Mind Pet Concierge in Long Beach before they moved out of state and sadly closed their business. I have learned from the best and am always ready to care for pups and kitties anytime. I am comfortable with providing medication and giving the best care all animals deserve. I have my own pup and kitties, so I know how important it is to make sure my clients know their babies are good in hands with me. I work part time at the Crooked Duck and District 4 Pizza. So I’m always around in the neighborhood. Maybe you’ve already seen me at the restaurants!! 😄😄 I still pet sit on the side from families I already work with outside of Rover. I have also volunteered at Long Beach Animal Care Services at their Pet Food Express location in Bixby Knolls. I have ample time in my day to help with petsitting in and around my area. I care very much about the safety of pets and abide by all rules for which families have in place to ensure their pets stay safe. Some families have requested cats stay in certain parts of the home, while dogs stay in another. I am aware, respectful, and always follow the instructions of families’ requests.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I am dependable and very loving towards dogs. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long energetic walk, I am here to help. I am currently a student at San Diego State University and am now on break for a couple months. I have very open availability on mornings and afternoons throughout the week. I will always be keeping on eye out for your dog and making sure they are safe. I will tailor the walks to your dogs needs and always use secure leashes.
About: I have owned dogs the majority of my life from big to small. I have had 2 cats in my life for the past 9 years as well. I am very knowledgeable in training and taking care of animals as its a big passion of mine to connect with animals, a long term goal is to become a Marine Biologist! I enjoy spending time with animals and learning more about them. I work part time at Chuze Fitness for about 3-4 days a week. I go to the gym about 3-4 times a week for 2 hours for each session. I enjoy exploring foods a lot and going to the movies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I feed my dogs and cats twice a day. I usually take my dogs out on an hour walk a day when it’s not too hot for them. I try and take my dogs to the dog park 2-3 times a month for some friendly exposure. My cats are indoor cats so they just play around with their cat tree and sleep as they don’t enjoy being outside.
“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!”
“Teddy was super excited to have Audrey let him out in the yard, feed him lunch, and play with him at lunch time. Audrey was just as excited and provided a professional, fun, friendly, and much needed service for our 7 year old Westie at our house. I will be using Audrey again.”
“She’s just the best!! I got daily photos and updates of the cats. She took the time to play with them and made sure they got some attention and love while we were away. She even left bags of treats for them :)”
“Emma was very friendly, provided great photos and updates, and easy to work with, even when the care instructions were a little complicated. I would recommend booking with her.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets for many years and have always loved being around animals. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs.

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.
