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: I have been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. I have been relied on to walk, feed, care for animals of all ages. I may be able to do short-notice availability during weekdays. I adore animals and have had multiple pets in my life: cats, dog, geckos, turtle. I work from home & have slower afternoons and evenings, that gives me time to play with your pups and kitties during the work week. I have some flexibility on timing during the day to find a time that would work best I am very respectful of people spaces, as I’d hope someone would be in my home/of my pets. I am attentive of the pets needs; making sure they are safe/inside, entertained, bathroom needs are met, well fed and watered. Any medicine needing administered I can help with as well.
“Julia was quick to respond and super reliable. She took my puppy to her house to play with her two dogs and then dropped her back off, and visited again in the afternoon to feed her lunch and let her out. She sent many pictures and took great care. Highly recommend and have already booked Julia again!”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog and cat mom, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I love long walks, spending time outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I run my own business remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting at a variety of times, and I love having the flexibility to spend lots of quality time with your pets! When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love. On walks, I’m attentive to their pace, surroundings, and individual needs, and I’m always focused on keeping them safe while making sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment.

“Julie was great! She came for a one-hour visit with Rex and was right on time. She left really thorough updates and sent lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Rex was well cared for and had a great time with her. We would absolutely book Julie again and highly recommend her!”

“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!”

“Lindsay did such a great job with my two cats! One of them can be a bit reluctant around strangers and she was very patient with him. She was also great at communicating and sending lots of photos. I’d absolutely recommend her!”

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’ve had dogs since I was born- mostly rescues with ranging health issues and all different ages. I also have experience living with and caring for cats. I currently have a 5 year old golden retriever and have some extra time so wanted to help with some dog care. I absolutely love all animals and will ensure your fur baby is well taken care of no matter what their needs. I work full time but am flexible after 4:30 for long walks and on weekends. I am happy to just take your pup around the block and give them some love or get a few miles in to tire them out I have a 5 year old golden who is very friendly who can join me on walks or can stay home to give your pup some one on one time. I will never bring my dog into your home
About: I am new to Rover but I have been that ‘go-to’ person to pet sit for friends & family and I have had dogs throughout my life. I recently lost my fur baby due to cancer after 14 yrs. Friends & Family have trusted me with their pets for walks, pet sitting and feeding. I love puppies to senior dogs. I will take care of your fur baby like it’s my own. I’m currently working from home part time so I have plenty of time to play, walk or feed your pups. I am available for walks or doggy day care Monday to Friday. I live close to a park and walking and bike path so walks with lots of sniffs guaranteed. And of course, lots of pets and cuddles.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have lots of experience caring for them. I walk and care for my own dogs regularly, and I’ve also helped take care of family friends’ and friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playing with them, and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I’m currently a student at San Diego State University, so I am taking a few classes but my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m mostly free all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available later in the afternoon and evenings, which gives me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and pet care. For Safety, trust & environment: “I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure their normal routine is kept as much as possible. I’m attentive during walks, feeding, and playtime, and I’ll always treat your pet like they’re my own.”
“I leave early morning for work and Remy doesn’t like going outside due to the cold & darkness. Today I had no choice but to leave her in her kennel until a friend could stop by and help. Unfortunately everyone was busy so quickly turned to Rover. I was extremely lucky to find Victoria, who was able to help us out very last minute. Victoria was willing to care for my pup. From the pictures I was able to tell they both had a blast! Please, if you are looking for someone to care for your baby, look no further. Victoria is awesome!!!”

About: I grew up on a working ranch surrounded by dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds, so I’m comfortable with pets of every size and temperament. I spent several years on Wag boarding and walking dogs of all ages and care needs, from energetic puppies to older dogs. I recently lost my chihuahua of 14 years, and I’d love to have dogs back in my life. I’m also a trail runner and would love to take any high energy dogs on a run! I currently mostly work from home as I’m finishing writing my thesis so I’m able to easily fit pets into my schedule and their various needs. I also love going for walks already so I might as well have a dog with me! I don’t have any other pets, so your dog gets my full attention. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with great walking routes nearby. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, follow your feeding and medication routines exactly, and send regular photo updates so you know how your pup is doing
“Kristina is so amazing with my Frenchie Gus! She’s super communicative about how the walk went, and always super quick to respond. She always takes into consideration how hot it is with how far to walk. I love having her to help take care of Gus on days I work and he’s always happy as can be when I come home!”

About: I am a trustworthy animal companion who cares for duties while you are away. My experience in caring for animals includes dogs, cats, birds, exotic fish, farm animals, and reptiles. My schedule is flexible for daily, weekly, and monthly care. If I were entrusted with caring for your animal, I would be happy to adhere to your unique guidelines and follow your normal care routine.

Rosie did a great job taking care of and walking my two dogs! She loves walking so was very active with them every day. She took them interesting places and thoroughly wore them out. She also did a great job communicating and sending pics. Highly recommend her as a sitter or a regular walker for your dogs.

We are always looking forward to Mari visiting, especially Oli! I love that we never have to worry about how he's going to be, Mari gives the attention and affection that he so craves when we're gone. Love to see the photos and notes to hear he's doing well, and it's obvious that he's very comfortable and feeling like himself around Mari. Also appreciated very much that she handled the ant issue that we're worried about this time of the year. Thanks again Mari!!

Hannah did a great job taking care of my dog! She was very communicative, sent regular updates and photos, and kept me reassured while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive and responsive she was. I would definitely recommend Hannah and would happily have her watch my dog again!
Jen and Muff were absolutely wonderful! Jen was so kind, welcoming, and easy to communicate with, and Muff was such a sweet pup. Scotty absolutely loved spending time with them, and I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such a loving environment. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely book with Jen and Muff again! 🐾🤍

Laila again did a fantastic job taking care of my cat, Cali, while I was away for the week. Cali was welcoming and content when I returned and looking forward to seeing Laila again soon. I received updates and pictures regularly and promptly. Laila is always pleasant and accommodating and I highly recommend her for pet-sitting.
