Pet Sitting La Jolla

“I had never used a sitting service before. A friend told me about rover.com. I thought I’d take a chance and boy did I get lucky. Jenna showed up at my door to meet my cat and myself. She was bright, professional and pleasant and….. from the Midwest! she did an amazing job. Remembered every little detail I had told her. She sent happy photos of my happy cat twice a day. I looked forward to those photos and her little review. It was this that enabled me to enjoy my visit with my elderly parents. Thank you Jenna!”

“Julie was great! Always a concern trying to find a sitter that’s good with medical care and providing insulin. Julie was phenomenal and attentive Scout’s needs and Skipper enjoyed her company and all the treats. Cannot wait for her to watch our boys again”

About: We are an active foster family through San Diego Humane Society. We are up to date on all their trainings and have been tremendously enjoying our fostering journey. We are now opening our home and family to helping our neighbors and community by taking care of their dogs when needed. I’m a language teacher mostly working from home so your animals can get lots of love and attention during the day. When I teach in person, I’m never away for more than 2 hours at a time. The dogs we care for become a part of our family. The animal’s comfort is a top priority and we will follow their home routine and needs to make their transition into our care as easy as possible.

About: My grandpa had many dogs and grandma takes care of cats. So, I grew up loving pets. I love nature and the outdoors as well. I studied environmental sustainability. I’m a Christian. I was once a lifeguard, and people can trust me with their lives and pets:) I love plants and have a green thumb. My work is very flexible. Only occasionally do I need to go into office. And I wouldn’t know ahead of the time when I have appointments. Most of them are fairly brief: 2 to 3 hours. However, I do need to make arrangements ahead of time in terms of scheduling. So please reach out as early as possible. Occasionally, I have travel plans as well. I can come to your home and take care of your pets or walk the dogs in the neighborhood. If you prefer, I can sometimes take them to dog parks.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my entire life! I’ve had 6 dogs of my own. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors' dogs at just 10 years old, and at 16, I started watching cats as well. I’d love to meet your pets and give them a home away from home :) I would love to spend all day with your pets. I work a part-time job where I will occasionally cover 4-hour shifts, but that’s the only time I’m away from the house. I would love to discuss what you love for your pets, whether it is car rides, walks, runs, etc. I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space. I’m ready for all the energy or no energy at all, and I’ll be sure to follow any specified requests on how I can make your pet's time away from you and/or home the best time!

“Janet did an amazing job taking care of my cat Theo! She is everything you would want in a cat sitter: responsible, communicative, and experienced. Even though my cat can be a little unpredictable, Janet handled everything like a pro and I never once worried about my cat when I was gone. Thanks Janet!”

About: What makes me stand out as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals, attention to detail, and commitment to providing exceptional care. I have been in the pet sitter community for almost over a year, and have much experience with pets of all sizes and species. I’m currently a full time student at UCSD, however pet care would not interfere! My schedule is open Monday - Friday 4pm to late, and my ideal daily routine with your furry friend includes running around, playing indoors, and relaxing together as I study next to them! When it comes to providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets, I've got you covered. I create a peaceful space where they can relax without any noise from the streets or too many people around. Plus, I take them on long walks in spacious community areas so they can freely roam and unwind. Your pet will truly enjoy their time with me.

About: I’m the go-to pet sitter for all my friends and have had pets my whole life! My pets have always meant the world to me, so you can rest assured I’ll treat yours with the TLC they deserve. I’m currently working from home which gives me the freedom to take care of pets whenever I’d like. Bring on all of the fur-babies! :) Unfortunately, my current place does not allow animals, which is why the only services I’m providing would be me going to your dog. I’m available for play-time, potty breaks, walks/runs etc. Ideally, I’d like to know if your dog has quirks or preferences that would make both of us more comfortable. Behavioral notes are key as well.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals. My family bred Siamese cats, and we always had dogs of all sizes in our home. In June 2025, I began house and pet sitting and quickly fell in love with it. Being able to spend time with animals again has been incredibly rewarding. Since then, I've cared for dogs both large and small, watched multiple pets at once, and administered medications when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease. I live a fairly routine lifestyle and enjoy spending lots of quality time with the pets in my care. I typically start my day early, which allows plenty of time for morning potty breaks, feeding, and attention before I head out to train clients for a few hours. I'm usually back home around midday and enjoy spending time with the animals I'm caring for. Depending on their energy level and owner's preferences, this may include walks, playtime, a run, or even a hike. I also work virtually at times, which allows me to be home throughout much of the day. In the evening, I'll follow your pet's normal feeding schedule and spend the rest of the night relaxing at home. Whether your pet enjoys cuddling on the couch, playing, or simply having someone nearby, they'll have plenty of companionship and attention. I'm typically home in the evenings and maintain a consistent routine, helping pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and respectful experience for every family I work with. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I prioritize safety on walks and outings and always make sure pets are secure and comfortable. When staying in a client's home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep the home clean and tidy, lock doors and windows when leaving, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the entire stay.

“Gina was awesome! She was consistent, sent tons of pictures, great updates, and my cat absolutely adored her. She made me feel at ease knowing my cat was in her care. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was a baby, and they've always been a huge part of my life! Over the years, I've cared for 3 cats, 2 dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, so I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I love getting to know each one individually. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, giving medication, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I'm dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. Animals bring so much joy to our lives, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply companionship, I'll make sure they receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'm happy to follow their schedule to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every pet as if it were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Whether it's playtime, walks, medication, or extra cuddles, I'm committed to providing reliable and loving care. With years of experience caring for cats, dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, I'm comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities.

About: I have had dogs of all sizes and ages growing up so I'm very comfortable with any dog. I have also been asked to walk many of my friends' dogs as well, allowing me to have experience with dogs who are not my own. I work a typical 9-5 where I’m in office, however afternoons are free and Fridays I am remote, making my schedule much more flexible! Weekends I am also free! If I were to take your pets outside on walks, they will always be securely leashed, and if I do decide to go to a park/environment for dogs I will confirm that it is okay with the you as well as making sure it is a safe place for your pet and me in general. I would never do anything without the owners approval because I understand the heartache of losing a pet to unexpected incidences.

About: My wife Iris and I live in a quiet, fenced home in La Jolla near Mount Soledad, and we work from home, so your dog will always have company and supervision. We’ve had dogs our entire lives and have cared for puppies, adults, and senior dogs for many years. Your dog will enjoy peaceful walks, fresh ocean air, and beautiful sunrise and sunset views from our backyard. We also have a very friendly 11-year-old beagle, Justin, who absolutely loves other dogs and can’t wait to make new friends. Our home is safe, calm, and smoke-free, with plenty of indoor comfort and secure outdoor space for play, relaxation, and cuddles. My wife Iris and I both work from home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re flexible during the week and weekends, and we build our schedule around your dog’s needs to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. Your dog will stay in a calm, quiet, and fully fenced home in La Jolla near Mount Soledad, located on a peaceful cul-de-sac with very little traffic.

We supervise all playtime, follow your dog’s routine carefully, and provide constant care and updates.

About: I have always been the biggest animal lover. I am vegan for ethical reasons! I used to volunteer for the Paws Adoption Center in Chicago. There, I was involved with the community outreach team, and I’d help put together adoption packets and pamphlets. I mostly spent my time doing physical labor— that is, walking the dogs, cleaning up after them, etc. In San Diego, I live with my roommate’s friendly little Maltese dog in a pet-friendly apartment. Growing up, my family has had a total of four dogs. Three of them we adopted about 15 years ago, and I witnessed them through their teething process and helped potty trained them. A couple of years ago, we welcomed a new, adult dog into our home in Chicago. During winter break of 2017, I successfully taught her several new tricks. In addition, family members and friends have asked me to pet-sit during special events or lengthy vacations. I am very willing to work with new dogs with different personalities who may require special care. My schedule is completely open, and my apartment is a comfortable, clean, and spacious place for dogs to stay in. I am especially willing to travel to your home if that happens to be your preferred option. I am looking forward to accommodating dogs to their own special needs. I am working part-time and can check on your dog at least every six hours! Many days, I only work four hour shifts, so I can probably check on them even more often! I am very neat and clean! I will treat your space with respect the way I do mine. Let me know which spaces your pet is allowed to go into!

“Gabriella did a great job taking care of our kitties and communicating with us and sending photos.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs my entire life - from large breeds like Rottweilers to small ones like Terriers. That hands-on experience gave me a deep understanding of dog behavior and needs. I've also volunteered at multiple humane societies, so I bring both lifelong passion and real-world care experience to every pup I look after. Pet care fits naturally into my active daily routine. I love getting outside and am always happy to take dogs on walks, drop in for visits, or help socialize them. Keeping pets happy, exercised, and engaged is something I genuinely enjoy. I primarily offer dog walking and drop-in visits, but I'm also happy to host dogs at my home when needed. I live walking distance from the beach, making it the perfect environment for an active, happy pup. Every dog in my care gets a safe, loving, and fun experience.

About: I recently moved to San Diego and am missing my family dog back home. Would love to explore my neighborhood and have the chance to meet some cute pups! I currently work remotely so I am able to walk dogs during the work hours as needed. I would ideally love to have a regular schedule with a couple of nearby dogs. As someone who always grew up with dogs in the home, I am comfortable managing their needs in my apartment as well as spending time with them in their homes. I’m very well versed in any pet dangers and how to attend to pets in a variety of environments.
