About: I’ve had and taken care of a dog all my life and trained my current dog from 3 months old. I genuinely try to connect with any dog I meet and love them as my own. Most importantly, I teach/train/direct dogs by validating them with praise and love I’m currently at home most of the day and can have variable and spontaneous availability. With that, I can be available quickly and at short notice I am interactive and attentive - I try to figure out their needs and then meet them. I pet them, play with them, and show them attention. I train or teach them by validating them with goodness and love

“Turner was great with our 2 cats at short notice, very communicative, sent pics and even handled a dreaded ant attack. Kitties loved her too!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old—not only my own, but also those of family members, friends, and coworkers. Before moving away for college, I had both a Yorkie and a Pit Bull—two breeds that couldn’t be more different. Through consistency, patience, and positive training, I was able to teach them good habits and routines to the point where I felt confident leaving them in the care of my younger sibling. To me, pets are so much more than just animals—they’re family. They provide us with unconditional love, comfort, and companionship, and I believe they deserve that same love and care in return. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. They deserve more than just a filled food bowl or a quick potty break—they deserve playtime, affection, belly rubs, attention, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I hope to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for with the same patience, kindness, and love I’d give my own. I’m currently working part time, 8-12 hours a week and my schedule is very flexible. I’m both an early bird and night owl and fit an early walk and night walk every day. Additionally, especially because it’s summer I have nothing in between work and if I did I’m always willing to fit any plans accordingly to your pets needs. I believe that caring for someone’s home is just as important as caring for their pet. I always treat my clients’ homes the way I would hope someone would treat mine—with respect, honesty, and care. I understand that pets can have accidents, especially when they’re adjusting to a new person or their family is away. If that happens, I have no problem cleaning up after them and making sure everything is left clean and comfortable. If I’m staying in your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and your routines. I’ll communicate with you beforehand to understand your preferences—whether that’s wearing shoes inside, using certain areas of the home, preparing meals, or anything else that’s important to you. I’ll always clean up after myself and leave your home in the same condition I found it, if not better. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your home and your furry family member are being treated with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

“Julia was prompt, quick to respond, and Bao loved hanging out with her for the afternoon! She was communicative and is great with dogs. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

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.

“She was great! Attentive and exceeded all expectations. Would definitely recommend.”

“Victor came by and took Copper out during the day and it was so helpful. Communication was great and Copper was happy!”

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.

“Lindsay was amazing!! I felt so comfortable with her watching Luna while I was away! She was so communicative and updated every day with lots of pictures! Would definitely use her again!!”

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.

“Melissa does drop in visits with my brand new puppy while I’m at work. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing the pups are in great hands. I highly recommend!”

“Super easy to coordinate with!”

About: I have wanted to be surrounded by animals as long as I can remember. I have been a certified dog foster through San Diego Humane Society for three years. I am up to date on all their trainings and have been tremendously enjoying my 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 currently a part-time teacher so my schedule is predictable. Outside of set teaching hours, I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your dog’s routine. The dogs I care for become a part of the family. The animal’s comfort is a top priority and I will follow their routine and needs to make their transition into my care as easy as possible. I believe you know your animal best and will follow closely your instructions.

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. My family has always had at least one dog and I have frequently pet-sat for friends and family. I love all dogs and would love to provided a temporary home for yours! As someone who works remotely, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. Being at home allows me the flexibility to provide consistent care, whether it’s taking pets on walks during breaks, offering timely meals, or simply giving them the attention and affection they need throughout the day. I can easily adjust my schedule to ensure their needs are met, creating a safe and comforting environment while their owners are away. I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s home. For pets in my home, I create a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I ensure they stick to their regular routines, including feeding, walks, and playtime, while offering lots of snuggles and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routines to minimize stress. I’m attentive to their specific needs, whether it’s administering medication, providing exercise, or keeping them company. In both cases, their comfort and happiness are always my top priority!

About: I have been a dog lover my whole life, and absolutely adore caring for and spending time with these divine beings! I have been dog-sitting for the past 10 years where I have stayed overnight at homes, cared for dogs in my own home, and done check-ins/walks during the day. I am very active and more than willing to run with your dog if needed! I work for Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with your animals, and I hope to alleviate all worries or stressors that may arise when you have to be separated from them. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs! My remote work gives me the flexibility to provide a fun, loving doggy daycare for your dog. I’m also available to stop by for check-ins/walks during the day. I always try to create an environment that the dog is most comfortable with. I am very attentive to details and make sure your dog receives the treatment you request!

About: I am experienced with over 14 years of pet ownership, from dogs to reptiles and beyond, and I have past experience with volunteer work at a cat shelter. Currently, I am the owner of a senior dog named Papaya. Because animals have played such a big role in my life, caring for pets is something that comes as second nature to me! As the owner of a senior dog, pet care is an aspect of my life every single day. And I wouldn't trade it for the world! Senior dogs often need extra attention and assistance, which I am always more than happy to provide to my fur-baby and any furry friend I meet! Before my pet-sitting visit, I will always do a meet and greet with the owners to get to know more about the pets I'll be looking after. Making sure that I am fully aware of a pets diet and dietary restrictions, personality and behaviors, medical conditions and medical needs, and what makes them feel most happy and comfortable is always of top priority to me!

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. Also home duties; mail plant care. I have experience providing animals with their daily diet schedule, medication, walks and attentive I consider the animals that I have cared for to be a part of my family. Like family, I give them abundant attention, love, and compassion (so that they can greet you in high spirits upon your return). In recovery of a health battle and in transition of my career paths from accountant to translator so maybe I'll be talking to your pets in Spanish Always assess the environment for the pet, my priority is that pet is going to stay happy and alive to till your arrival. Leave nothing of mine or food on the ground follow your house rules.

“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!”
