About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young and currently have a 4-year-old Samoyed. I’m experienced with energetic breeds, daily exercise, and giving dogs loving attention. I’m available during the week and weekends for walks or drop-ins. Flexible scheduling means your dog gets reliable care, exercise, and attention whenever you need it. In your home, I follow your dog’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Walks, playtime, meals, and cuddles are always provided with care and attention.
About: I’ve been a dog person since I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds most of my life. In more recent years I’ve taken care of various size dogs, mostly from family and friends. l’m friendly with animals, I would argue to say I’m a dog whisperer. Like Allstate, your pup will be in good hands. I will gladly send you videos and picture updates of your furry companion! I‘m also happy to play with them using their favorite toy(s) and don’t mind giving good belly rubs and head massages. A little TLC goes a long way.🐶 I work in biotech, so I have the flexibility to work from home and remotely. This allows me to give plenty of attention to your pup. I’m available to provide various services most days of the week/weekend with enough notice. I live alone in an apartment. I have hardwood floors throughout, with an area rug in the living room, and plenty of space for your dog to roam about. I have easy access to dog parks. I have a small patio and can crate your pet if required at times otherwise, my home is their home!
About: Hi!! I’ve had dogs since I was 2 years old and was the main caretaker growing up for our large and small dogs. I have had 2 dogs as an adult and am familiar with rescues that are more sensitive along with high energy breeds! :) I’m here for check ins or walks while your furry babe is at home and needing some TLC!❤️ I work from home so I’m able to step away for a walk or check in as needed without a problem! I tend to my fur kids throughout the day easily so helping out some fellow fur owners would be awesome! I am happy to care for your pet in my home if they get along with other dogs and are ok around cats! Prefer crate trained if possible but likely will be out of crate most the time. I work from home and would only leave them to exercise.
About: I've had a variety of pets since I was little. I understand animals' body language and am well-adverse to many unique pet personalities and behaviors. I have experience working with reactive dogs, hyper-activity, Deaf and blind animals (my dog is Deaf and knows sign language!), medication and illness with pets, and more. I'm also understanding of different needs or specific routines to be followed for pets to feel comfortable. Whether your pup needs a walk and the bearded dragon needs to be fed, or the cat needs a clean litter box and the fish tank needs a skim, I'm here for you and all your fur (or scale) babies! My schedule is flexible currently. I recently moved back home to San Diego and have plenty of availability. I do have two large dogs of my own as well as a cat and will need to take care of them as well if house-sitting. I am aware of animals' body language and their need for routine. I will respect this and their specific needs (hand-signals, cue words, walking preferences, etc.). I can co-exist from a distance or offer lots of snuggles and playtime depending on your pets preferences. I can provide baths and maintain training if you're working on house training or pulling while walking.
“Tyler was incredible with our active, anxious pup, Penny! He was so patient with her and even helped with leash training along the way. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. He was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and even added an extra day when we extended our trip. Total peace of mind and such a great experience… we’d absolutely book with him again!”

About: Hi there! I’m Christy, and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I had a chihuahua and a pug/beagle mix, and now I share my home with a friendly cat and a 100-pound Tibetan Mastiff who’s kind, gentle, and playful. I’m dedicated to giving your pet the same love, care, and attention I give my own. I live in a cozy two-bedroom apartment with a dog park right in the community, so your pup will enjoy plenty of walks and playtime. I’m reliable, communicative, and experienced with medications and unique routines. Whether you need overnight stays or just some extra playtime for your furry friend, I’m here to help! I currently work part time at the farmers market selling dog food, so I’ll have plenty of time caring for your baby! I take my dog on 2-3 walks a day at the community dog park, so just let me know if your baby needs more talks than that. Our cat, Suess, gets along with all dogs. He typically minds his own business. I keep him separated during feeding time. My gentle giant, Nala, gets along with all dogs. I have a large crate for your baby if they need to be crated at night time or when we need to run an errand. I am comfortable giving meds and any other care your baby needs.

About: About Me 🐾 Hello there! My name is Precious, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. As a fellow dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your pets as much as you do. I have two dogs of my own — Lilo, a rescue terrier mix, and OG, an English bulldog — who I absolutely adore. Through them, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and genuine care when it comes to keeping dogs happy and healthy. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

On the days I work — I’m available for drop-ins between 7 AM – 3 PM, and I can always stop by again after my shift. I also offer boarding in your home, so your pup can stay in their familiar environment and avoid the stress or anxiety that sometimes comes with being in a new place. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and rest — so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I make sure doors and gates are always properly closed, keep their environment tidy, and follow all care instructions closely. For in-home stays, I maintain a calm and respectful presence, ensuring your pet stays in a familiar, stress-free environment. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Kim and I have over 5 year of experience taking care of dogs and have had my cat for over 2 years + 3 dogs. These experiences have taught me how to properly take care of these special animals and I will do my absolute best to accommodate any of their needs. I started volunteering dog sitting for my friends and I never realized I would even like it this much but I really do. They are so much fun. I would often take them to dog beach and to dog parks. Drive them around so that they could enjoy the fresh breeze in their face while the windows are rolled down. They always look so happy and excited, which brings a smile to my face. Past breeds I have taken care of are; shih Tzu’s, Yorkies, Maltese mix, and a Goldendoodle ❤️ But I’m open to sitting any breed and any size. I have a very flexible schedule. I may tend to a few social events if I go out but I’m never gone more than 3-4 hours at a time. I follow the pet owner’s instruction when it comes to caring their pet(s). I’m very affectionate and love cuddling. I’ll respect your pet’s boundaries if they’re not into this and will 100% put my all into giving them my care, time and attention.
“Monet is awesome! Great communication skills and she was excellent with walking our GSD puppy. She clearly loves animals and it shows. We look forward to working with her again soon.”

About: We are a team! You get both of us! lol We both grew up with dogs and Vannessa also grew up with a cat. We affectionately refer to all dogs of all ages as puppies. We really want a dog but we can’t yet commit to the life they deserve so as long as their human and the puppy allow us to love on them, we gratefully do so! We are very attentive, follow common sense and all the house rules provided for the pup or pups, we send pictures and videos, and provide updates. We love your puppies as if they were our own. You can have the peace of mind and enjoy your difficult time away from them knowing they are being really well taken care of! Whatever questions you may have, please ask! We’re very open communicators Our schedule is fairly flexible. Rest assured once you’ve confirmed dates and times with us, we will be there. Even though it hasn’t happened but IF we cannot make it (which would be for an emergency or something urgent like a Doctor’s appointment that can’t work around that time) we give you as much notice as we possibly can. We only care for pets at your home. We are not allowed to have pets at our apartment. As far as how we care for your pets, always lovingly. Whether you have a strict routine for them, casual schedule, or just follow their lead—we do what you ask of us. If there is something we don’t feel comfortable with, we communicate with you and you let us know how you want to proceed. It’s really important to us we all communicate well with each other.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, growing up with both a dog and a cat. Over the years, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, and maintaining their daily routines. I currently have a 7-year-old tuxedo cat named Rollie, whom I adopted from a shelter in 2020. She is naturally shy and sensitive, so caring for her has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to build trust with animals at their own pace—especially cats who may be anxious or reserved. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and can support: • Feeding schedules and special diets • Litter box cleaning and hygiene • Walks and exercise • Playtime and enrichment • Basic medication administration (if needed) • Monitoring behavior and overall well-being I treat every pet like my own and always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. I work full-time during the weekdays, so I’m available for evening drop-in visits after work (typically after 5:30 PM). These visits are perfect for feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, and spending quality time with your pet. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available for both drop-in visits and house sitting at your home. This allows me to provide more consistent care, longer visits, and companionship for your pet while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure to stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I primarily provide care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific preferences your pet may have. I’m very attentive to behavior and will quickly notice if anything seems off. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust is, and I will treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care.
“Madeira has been fantastic about bringing our 2 fur babies out for their walk daily for this past month. We needed them walked each day at noon and she has been punctual, reliable and provided them solid exercise while we are at work during the day. We love Madeira’s upbeat attitude and are so grateful to have found someone so reliable. Highly recommend her to others and will absolutely call her again!”

Kearny Mesa dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shay was absolutely phenomenal—truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever worked with! Our dog is very shy and nervous around new people, but Shay was so patient, gentle, and intuitive that he quickly warmed up to her and felt completely safe and at ease. That alone meant the world to us. She followed our (very detailed!) instructions perfectly and treated our home with the utmost care and respect, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and goes above and beyond for both pets and their owners. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Shay and will 100% be booking with her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!

Tyler was incredible with our active, anxious pup, Penny! He was so patient with her and even helped with leash training along the way. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. He was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and even added an extra day when we extended our trip. Total peace of mind and such a great experience… we’d absolutely book with him again!

I’m so grateful for Hazel! My dog has terrible anxiety and was unwilling to get out of the crate. She did everything she could to make him feel comfortable, was willing to come back to work with both of us to build trust, and has been immensely patient and communicative.
Anthony was extremely patient with our shy dog, and allowed him the time he needed to warm up. He also is familiar with the obedience training which was really helpful since our dog responds well and gains confidence that way. We will 100% book Anthony for all of our future walks and sits if he’s available!

If you are particular about your dog or your home, and need consistent reinforcement and even training while getting your dog exercised, Trever is the right choice! My dog has post-bathroom needs and Trever has not had any issues with addressing that thoroughly, as well as applying the cues that will help my puppy improve his behavior over time. He is so easy to communicate with, does not mind a million directions! He also shared that he is particular with things with his own dog and thus really understands how it is to be in my shoes. He also gives you plenty of notice if things come up on his end.

Aliyah was great! Showed up right on time, was in constant communication leading up to the dog walks to make sure everything would run smoothly. Took great care of our dogs and took them for a walk and to the dog park while we were out for the day. She sent us great pics of our dogs from the walk and kept us well informed of what was going on. I would highly recommend Aliyah to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker and/or dog sitter for their pet.

Miranda is the best, I'm so glad I found her. Luca gets a good walk and some play every day, and Miranda sends a full report for every walk with pics so I can see my baby and know all about how he's doing. She is great with both Luca and my cat Venom. Very responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Missy was great!! She came in last min for quick walk session with my doggie. My doggie isn't the easiest but she made sure to do a meet and greet for the extra comfort. Provided detailed descriptions of the walks. And even left a cute doggie treat bag as she left. Very comforting and kind. Thank you again Missy!

William is truly the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! He was always on time for every walk, super caring with my dog, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He even left a pack of baby wipes for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. My dog absolutely loved him — you can tell he genuinely loves animals and takes his job seriously. I highly recommend William to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and kind dog sitter!
