“Adrian always does a great job looking after my cat while I'm away. She is very reliable and Lila Bear loves her. I would highly recommend Adrian to anyone looking for a cat sitter”
“Brooklyn is amazing. She took care of my babies perfectly. My old girl Lali liked her, who is always scared of everyone new. And my boy Boba loved her. She was also kind to feed my outdoor kitties.”
“Hannah was wonderful with my kitty. She sent me pictures and videos every day! A true sign that my cat was well taken care of and loved while I was away is how my kitty is when I returned home. She was relaxed! Not needy at all. My house was perfectly clean when I returned home too. I was very happy with Hannah.”
“Hannah was great to work with. The cats enjoyed her from what I was able to observe in the check in photos. She was dependable and went above and beyond to take care of the cats including making an extra trip on short notice.”
“Victoria was great! Quick/easy to communicate, check ins were on time and as discussed, and she seemed to take great care of my cat while I was gone! I will use her in the future.”

About: I’m the token dog sitter to both family and friends. I absolutely love spending time with both cats and dogs. I’ve owned both cats and dogs as well - in all different shapes and sizes. I work remotely 3 out of the five week days and have weekends off. My schedule is flexible throughout the week for drop ins and I’m available during all hours on the weekends for both drop ins, walks and boarding. My apartment is very dog friendly, having a mischievous pup of my own. My apartment complex also has multiple dog parks for use, is located next to a dog friendly park with plenty of open grass, and great places to walk. I’m also located close to a lake for longer walks if your dogs need a little extra workout.
About: I have been around all type of animals since I was born. I grew up with a weekly visit to my families farm, which kickstarted my passion for animal-care and provided a strong foundation to understanding all creatures and ensuring they are living their best lives. In high school, I worked at a dog-boarding facility called Shamrock Ranch, feeding, walking, and loving on the residents. Since graduating in 2020 and moving to San Diego, I have acquired my own pack of 3 land-sharks, all with their own array of needs being rescue dogs. Hence, I am capable and comfortable handling dogs with special needs, reactivity, and those who just need a little longer to warm up. I also have been rescuing rats for years, so I am very familiar with their needs and would love to help with yours! I currently only work at farmers markets on the weekends serving up Buddah bowls, so my schedule is wide-open on weekdays and weekend afternoons / evenings. Having rescue dogs with different needs, I am always very aware of my surroundings and observant of potential triggers. I am also a very detail oriented person, always double-checking that the doors are locked behind me, etc.
“Amanda was wonderful. She is was on time every day. I loved that she spent time with the cats and captured photos of the cats for my children to enjoy while we have been out of town. She was really easy to work with, friendly, and kind. I will definitely be using Amanda for future trips.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, when I had my first real dog and proudly took on the role of walker, cuddle buddy, and part-time groomer. Since then, I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—including my current senior pup, Leia, who’s been by my side for over a decade. From daily walks and brushing sessions to helping with gentle baths and managing the needs of older dogs, I bring patience, comfort, and genuine love to every visit. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a cozy overnight stay, I’m here to make your pup feel safe, seen, and well cared for while you’re away. My main line of work takes place over the weekend, so I have wide availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays for walks, drop-ins, or daytime care. I’m also available for overnight stays any day of the week. From Thursday through Saturday, I’m free starting at 5 PM and fully available through the evening and overnight hours. If you have specific needs, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! I always treat pets and their homes with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, managing medication, or keeping walks calm and controlled. I make sure your dog feels comfortable, loved, and safe at all times, whether we’re on a familiar walking route or settling in for the night. I also understand how important it is to respect your home, so I leave things tidy and make sure your pet’s space stays clean and cozy. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities.

I can follow any routine you need—just let me know what works best for your pet! I am currently home for the summer and have all the time in the world to take care of your pets.

I will follow any instructions an owner has about how to take care of their pet or what their pet needs. I will feed, play, walk, and give lots of love to make sure your pet’s needs are all met.

About: Hi, I’m Jocelyn! I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was born, my mom has the biggest heart for strays, so I grew up helping care for pets of all sizes and personalities. These days, I share my home with a playful 1-year-old chihuahua and a sassy black tabby cat (who proudly has her own room!). I know how much love and attention our furry family members need, which is why I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I work full-time but can happily walk your dog in the early mornings or evenings during the week, and I’m available all day on weekends for walks or pet sitting. I have hands-on experience with large breeds like Rottweilers and Cane Corsos, as well as small dogs like Chihuahuas and Yorkies. I also have a car and can provide convenient pick-up and drop-off. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Born and raised in San Diego, I truly love all animals and can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐾 Even though I work full-time, I make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m fully transparent with my availability and can schedule walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after work. On weekends, I’m available throughout the day for walks or pet sitting. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet I care for gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I adopted both my cat and my dog, so I understand firsthand the love and attention it takes to care for your furry family members. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe and comfortable environment, my cat has her own room, which can also be used for dog sitting purposes if needed. My chihuahua is currently in training classes with my spouse and is not usually at home, but when she is, she’s friendly (though a bit shy and skittish at first). When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely. feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks or playtime, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

This is our second time booking with Katelyn for our two cats, Penny and Benny, and we would gladly book her again! She is such a great sitter and provides many pictures during her sits. We always appreciate seeing her updates during our time away. Thank you Katelyn!!
Abbey is great! She has taken care of our cats twice during week+ trips, and she always sends plenty of pics and updates so we know how they're doing the whole time. She is great with cats and ours love her, and we're grateful that she plays and spends time with them when she drops in. She really goes above and beyond -- she even went out of her way to wash the used cat dishes every day so we didn't have a lot of cleaning to come home to. We will definitely hire Abbey again!
Cynthia was amazing…she is dependable, compassionate, and respectful. We felt completely comfortable with her care of our cats and she even offered extra assistance when we had a minor problem with one of our cats that she handled with grace. We will be using Cynthia in the future and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!
Josie is a cat whisperer! We’ve had a number of people care for our fur babies and only Josie has been able to get both cats out from under the bed to eat and play! And for the first time ever, Sweetie got her insulin shots!!! When we got home I think they were both disappointed that it wasn’t Josie walking through the door!! Thank you, Josie for taking such good care of Sweetie and Bugs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mari took exceptional care of our two young kittens while we were away! We were nervous leaving them for the first time, but she made us feel much better. She arranged a drop-in visit beforehand to meet the cats and asked all the right questions, which helped put our minds at ease. While we were gone, she sent us daily updates and photos. We could tell our kittens were comfortable and in good hands. We even came home to a cleaner apartment than we left! Mari went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful. We’d 100% book with her again. Thank you so much.
Ashley was incredible! I am new to the Rover app, and about 3 weeks before my trip signed up to see if I could get a care attendant for my elderly & handicapped cat while I went on my first vacation in years. I wasn't sure what to expect. I found Ashley on Rover and had a brief conversation with her to see if she was able to come home over way ahead of the scheduled trip + meet myself and my cat to see if it was a good fit. After our initial meetup, I felt really good about her taking care of my cat. She has been Wonderful with communication the whole way through and was a terrific attendant for my cat. Ashley is very caring, thoughtful and communicative. She's a genuinely nice & kind person! I truly believe she will take the best care of your pet if given a call and if her schedule is available. 🤗🫶🏼😺
Hannah is a great sitter. She stopped in to feed and check in on our cat everyday for about 2 weeks. Hannah always gave up great updates and gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands! Communication was always simple and easy with Hannah and she followed all instructions thoroughly. She went above and beyond and we would happily book her again :)
