About: I grew up with a big Airedale terrier and currently have a wonderful 16 year old rescue pup. I am a caring, attentive and reliable pet sitter. I am a teacher on summer break with a flexible schedule and availability throughout the day. I’m happy to stop by and make sure your pets are cared for while you are away! I know how important it is for pets to stick to their routine. I follow your instruction carefully, make sure they get the love, attention, and care they need, and keep you updated.

About: My love for animals started early. I raised two cats from kittens and had an adorable mini poodle-terrier mix for two years. I regularly walk and care for my partner’s two large dogs and two cats, and I’ve done overnight stays for a friend’s puppy. Most recently I’ve been attending puppy yoga, because honestly any excuse to be around animals is a good one! I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, with flexible morning and afternoon slots. I keep a consistent schedule so pets get reliable, timely care every visit. Since I come to you, my focus is making your pet feel safe and comfortable in their own home, where they’re happiest. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routes, or specific instructions. I treat every home with respect and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and understand how important routine, patience, and consistency are to keeping them happy and comfortable. I've taken care of neighbors, friends, and family children and dogs. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and a gentle approach. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications if needed, and maintaining established routines. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of availability and flexibility to provide attentive pet and house sitting. I’m a pharmacist who recently moved to California, and I pride myself on being reliable, detail-oriented, and highly responsible. I’m able to spend ample time in your home, maintain routines, care for your pets, and keep everything secure and well-maintained while you’re away. My flexible schedule allows me to be as present and attentive as you’d like, whether that’s throughout the day or overnight. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel comfortable and secure, whether care takes place in my client’s home during pet or house sitting. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, detail-oriented, and mindful of keeping the environment clean, calm, and safe so you can feel worry-free while you’re away. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel confident that both your pets and home are in good hands.

About: I have lived with furry friends my whole life, lending me years of firsthand experiences dealing with dog and cat ownership from little babies to senior animals and I am familiar with the special care needs that come with different age groups. In addition to dog and cat sitting for family I have several years of experience on Rover providing walking and house sitting care. Every animal has such a vibrant and unique personality and I can't wait to meet yours!

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them my entire life, including dog sitting for families, friends, and neighbors over the years. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making them feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I'm dependable, attentive to routines, and happy to provide regular walks, playtime, cuddles, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am in online summer school, so I am looking for a job that can align with my current schedule, while making income. I am very flexible and I have my own car, which allows me to drive from house to house! I always prioritize a pet's safety, comfort, and routine while their owner is away. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any household rules. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, while also keeping the home clean, secure, and respected. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I strive to provide dependable care and regular updates for peace of mind.

Shauna was so helpful! Literally saved the day. Communicated thoroughly, flexible, and so good with my young boys. I told her we are still in the process of socializing and introducing new environments and people which she was not only a part of but instrumental in. It was their first walk with a walker and I had an idea of how I wanted to make the transition and she was supportive and helped execute beautifully. I'm so grateful they had they first experience with someone with such a nice touch. Thank you!

About: I have multiple years of experience caring for pets in the area and I am formally trained in animal nursing. I focus on enrichment, exercise, and keeping your pets healthy and well-loved (plus cute photos!). I’m between school semesters and I would love to meet all of your pets in my downtime! I have regular availability and am able to plan my day around you. I recognize the trust I am given when I enter someone’s home, and I always keep the space secure and clean of any pet-related messes. Part of my routine if the client is away is sending a picture including the locked door and house number.

About: I offer a unique blend of scientific precision and deep compassion for your pets. For two years, I fostered shy and anxious dogs for the Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC). Getting accepted into their program required passing a rigorous vetting process, including interviews, home visits, and specialized training. Through HWAC, I gained extensive experience caring for rescues with complex medical and behavioral needs, including parasites, severe dental issues, and anxiety. I also provided essential behavior and obedience training to help these dogs thrive. Before fostering dogs, I was the proud owner of a diabetic cat for five years. I am completely comfortable with advanced medical care, including tracking blood glucose with a glucometer, administering subcutaneous insulin injections twice daily, and giving oral medications. My background as a scientist allows me to communicate clearly and effectively with veterinarians and clinic staff, ensuring your pet's medical instructions are followed perfectly. Because I currently have no pets of my own and am taking a hiatus from work, I have total availability. I look forward to devoting 100% of my time, skills, and love to your companion here in the San Diego area! 24/7 Flexible Availability (Evenings & Weekends Included) Because I am currently on a professional hiatus, your pet becomes my primary focus. I have complete schedule flexibility to accommodate your exact routine, including early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and holidays. Unlike sitters juggling a traditional 9-to-5, I am available for mid-day medical checks, precise feeding times, and extended companionship. Whether you need standard drop-ins or a dedicated presence to ease an anxious pet's separation anxiety, my open schedule allows me to be there whenever you or your pet need me most. Specialized In-Home Care for Your Pet's Comfort I provide premium, attentive care exclusively inside your pet's own home, where they already feel safest and most comfortable. Because I live in a yard-free condominium, I choose not to offer boarding. Instead, I bring my extensive medical and behavioral experience directly to your doorstep. This setup ensures your pet’s routine remains completely uninterrupted, eliminating the stress of a new environment. Whether your cat requires precise, timely insulin injections or your dog needs a patient, structured potty schedule, I adapt entirely to your home's setup. Your pet gets 100% of my focus in the environment they love best, giving you total peace of mind while you are away.

About: I love dogs, and dogs love me :) unfortunately I can't commit to adopting my own right now, but I enjoy hanging out with other people's. I'm very active and energetic, but also have a calm energy that dogs are comfortable around. I currently work part time and remotely, so I can easily walk dogs multiple times during the day and stay overnight as needed. I'm generally available on weekends as well. I can follow whatever instructions are provided for caring for your pet in your home and am always respectful of other people's homes. My apartment unfortunately does not allow pets, so I can't host here.

About: I’m an animal lover with two cats of my own, and I truly enjoy both cat and dog sitting. I have hands-on experience administering medication to cats and trimming their nails, and I always prioritize making animals feel safe, calm, and cared for. I work at Amazon and pursue pet sitting through Rover as a passionate side hobby. I’m available most weekends and during weekday evenings, either before or after work, to provide reliable care for your pets. I’m highly attentive to animals and always prioritize their comfort. With patience and care, I work to earn the trust of your furry friend and make sure they feel safe and happy.

Sara was the BEST pet sitter we’ve ever had. She was super flexible with timing and came to meet with our dog Cannoli beforehand. She provided detailed updates and lots of silly pictures of our 10 month old puppy. I really appreciated how patient she was with our puppy who is still learning to listen and always takes a bunch of breaks while on walks!

Elise was a great sitter who really listened and followed my instructions for taking care of my dog. During our meet and greet, Elise was comfortable interacting with my dog and my dog really enjoyed playing with her too. Elise sent me picture updates during the walk and I can tell my dog had fun with her too. I would definitely recommend booking Elise's services!
