About: As a pet sitter I feel responsible for caring for pets when their owners are not available. I may groom, feed and exercise your pets. I work based upon a set schedule or provide services on a periodic basis when the owner is unable to do so. I also offer training services. I am familiar with and able to work with pets of all kinds. I feel as though I am trustworthy because I’m aware I may be given access to customers’ homes. I am also physically able to exercise and care for pets. I have great love for animals, along with being friendly and possessing customer service skills. I love my 2 and a half year old American Staffordshire Terrier named Soxx. He’s all black with white paws (hence the name). Big Boston fan here too. He gets along with any and every body. Although he may be shy at first, he’s a friendly and caring dog. I do clean up after, groom, exercise and provide care for cats, dogs and small rodents, includes dog walking services and litter box and cage cleaning. I watch outdoor and indoor play to ensure safety of the pet. I feed and provide water based upon client instructions, which may be very detailed and must be followed exactly as given. I meet with potential clients to secure business, advertise services provided and explain the details of how pet sitting works. I will report any injuries or illnesses to pet parents as soon as possible, along with completing an injury/illness form to turn in as soon as pet parent is on-site. I will respect clients’ homes and personal property when on-site offering pet sitting services, includes cleaning up any pet messes. I will provide additional customer service as requested by clients, which may include picking up mail, watering plants and opening and closing blinds or curtains. I will check and follow schedule provided by pet parents and report any conflicts or issues to then as soon as possible but at least 24 hours in advance of scheduled sitting appointment.

About: Hi, I’m Tami! I have 10+ years of experience caring for pets, which I truly enjoy. I’m dedicated to providing animals with the best care, giving them love, attention, and ensuring they feel comfortable and happy. Joining Rover has been a wonderful opportunity to connect with more furry friends, and I’d love the chance to care for your pet as if they were my own! ❤️ I have a very flexible schedule. I also work with Amazon delivery, so Rover is a lovely job I do as a side. Text me and we arrange the best time and dates for you. At the moment, I don’t care for pets in my own home. However, when staying at someone else’s place, I always ask if there’s anything important I need to know or any special instructions to keep in mind. I make sure to stay within the areas the owner allows and ask where the pet’s food, treats, and supplies are, as well as the feeding schedule. I also bring my own food, depending on how long I’ll be there.
“We had a wonderful experience with Samantha and Leighland walking Arlo, my 1 year old German shepherd, twice a day while I was out of the country for a couple of weeks. This was my first time leaving one of my dogs with someone new so was a little hesitant searching for a new walker so but I’m really glad that I chose them! The updates they sent we’re very comforting and made me feel that my boy was being very well taken care of. I cannot recommend them highly enough! I will definitely be a regular client.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - La Mesa
We love Bobbie! She walks our dog Coco twice a week. She is lovely, reliable and proactive. On a few occasions when the weather forecast has been for rain she checks in ahead of time to confirm if Coco will still want a walk. Coco gets so excited when she sees her and has lots of fun with Bobbie. Could not recommend more highly!
Andrew is awesome! He’s such a fast walker so when he takes my dog on a walk it’s a WALK. My high energy pup always gets at least 2.5 miles in with Andrew and it helps so much on days that I am out of town. Andrew is also very detailed in his reports, responsive, and a pleasure work with
Matt is a dog whisperer! He did a fantastic job walking our 75-pound pit mix, Rosie, for an hour each morning for 8 days. He was very punctual, great at dealing with Rosie’s habit of scrounging for food and her dog reactivity. He also took the sweetest photos for Rosie’s walk report cards. We will absolutely book Matt again!!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your La Mesa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in La Mesa.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Mesa. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
