About: Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for many different kinds of pets. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life and have spent several years pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just hanging out, I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m experienced in administering different types of medications to cats and understand the patience and gentle approach it takes to make the process as stress-free as possible for our furry friends. I’m also happy to follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet receives the attention they need. I’m currently a masters student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I know it can be super hard to be away from those we love and that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for regular check-ins, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Since I’m able to bring my schoolwork with me, I can comfortably spend extended time in your home while still keeping up with my studies and, most importantly, providing your pets with companionship and care. The safety and comfort of your pets is my top priority. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routines and your specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own home and pets.

Allison is sweet and very kind. We felt comfortable with her and her communications. She followed our instructions for our dog (considerations for the heat, misting her down, checking her food and water, where to take her) and we know Gypsy was well taken care of. Recommend her and we'll book her again when we're back in the area.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve assisted with whelping litters, ensuring each puppy gained weight appropriately, met all nutritional requirements, and received attentive care during their earliest stages of life. I also helped with early potty training, socialization, and sensory enrichment to support healthy development. In addition, I have experience caring for elderly pets by providing gentle, patient care, administering medications when needed, monitoring their comfort, and adapting to their changing needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom so I’m available any time and any day to look after your fur babies when needed. I am more comfortable with taking care of your fur babies from your home just because I do have a senior Great Dane who is not the friendliest toward other doggies.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals at every stage of life. I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I have experience working with both young and senior pets. With puppies and young dogs, I am patient and consistent with basic training reinforcement, including potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. I know how important structure is during those early months, and I make sure to maintain the routine you’ve established. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care and closely monitor mobility, medication schedules, and comfort needs. I understand that older animals often need extra patience, slower walks, and more frequent check-ins, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed.

About: I have watched a large pack of dogs (13) at one point. I have my own dog to take care of. I've also watched my neighbors blue heeler and my aunts dogs and cats while she was away. Dogs seem to naturally gravitate towards me. I work part time at a hotel and I just recently graduated college. My husband and I are fixing to move and I figured this would be a good way to make a little bit of side money to help cover this move. I have my own 3 year old dog. He is amazing but can be a little wild. I have also looked after my neighbors dog and took care of my family friends dogs.

About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll

About: Hi! I’m currently in school studying veterinary care, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve been surrounded by pets since the day I was born—from dogs and cats to small animals—and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for many friends and family members, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s going on walks, giving medication, or just providing a little extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. With my background in animal care and my education in veterinary studies, you can feel confident your pet is in safe, knowledgeable, and loving hands. I know how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’m here to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but pet care is something I genuinely love and prioritize in my free time. I’m available for early morning and evening visits during the weekdays, and I have more flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Even with a busy schedule, I always make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, dinner-time or feeding, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after. When caring for pets, I always follow their specific routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I make sure they get the exercise they need with safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their energy level and comfort. I also stick closely to their feeding schedule, ensuring they get the right food, portions, and any treats or medications they may need. When pet sitting or checking in, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company so they never feel alone or anxious. For cats, I make sure their litter is clean, their food and water are fresh, and they have a calm environment to relax in. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have a lot of experience with large dogs and cats as I have 7 dogs and 2 cats myself. I also have experience with farm animals if needed! Back home, I would take out my dogs in the morning and let them play for atleast an hour. By midday, I would take them outside again and then bring them inside to play or sleep. By 6pm, everyone’s fed and playing until 8, which is bedtime. If needed, they get showers if they are dirty every other week, Safety-wise, I make sure their backyard is secure whil outside. Inside, I make sure they atleast have a crate our are in a clean area. I trust all my animals as I would a sibling such as animals are family members as much as pets.

About: Hi, my name's Betsy. I love animals of all kinds, and have shared in their love and care all of my life.. I ensure they get the best care and have also volunteered at an animal shelter where I assisted in taking care of dogs and cats. A long term cat owner, I currently am owned by a lovely senior boy cat. My goal is to ensure that all of the pets in my care get everything they need to be their best selves. I am cool, calm, and collected in emergency situations. You can count on me to get your pet(s) any care that they may need. I can also handle most medications and love to hang out with seniors. Daytime visits work best for me (I’m flexible on time) and can do some evening care if necessary. I appreciate your consideration I have a part time job so this is a great opportunity to give pets the care they need. I really love meeting new pets and making friends with them. I know pets needs and can make sure all are met I love to ensure that pets get everything they need to be their best selves, from basic care to assisting with training. I've been a pet owner all my life, and can do anything from long walks to play to administering medicine of all kinds.

About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 434 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across La Mesa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Mesa. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
