“Jane is an amazing dog sitter. She is very patient and caring with our 14 year blind dog. She goes the extra mile to ensure she is well taken care of. This is our 2nd time using Jane and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Kira has been patient and kind in getting my senior cat to warm up to her - she's great with communication, and I love getting pictures and knowing he's safe and happy when I'm away.”
“Amazing experience. We had so much peace of mind knowing that Brooklyn was with our fur family. She had excellent communication skills and was flexible with a few things we needed to update. Looking forward to many future weekend get away now that we have Brooklyn attending to our pets.”
“Fantastic!! Hannah watched our Cat for two weeks while we were out of town. She was always on schedule, checking-in and sharing pictures. Would 100% recommend, she was very responsible, kind, and loving to cat and home.”
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've had cats of my own, and/or been volunteering with cats, for most of my life - including cats of all ages from kittens to seniors, and cats with special needs. Currently I have one cat of my own (Athena, 12 years old). I'm reliable and responsible, and while I'm new to pet-sitting on Rover, many of my friends have relied on me to take care of their pets while they're out of town. I love spending time with pets, so I figured why not do it for some extra cash during my free time? I'm in the San Carlos area, but willing to drive elsewhere in the San Diego area. (Note: Most of my pet care experience has been with cats, but definitely willing to take care of dogs and other pets too!) I'm available most evenings and weekends. I also work remotely, so I can arrange to be at your place with your pet(s) during the day if needed. I will ensure your pet is safe and well cared for. Pets, just like people, have their own personalities when it comes to interacting and socializing - I will also get to know your pet and provide as much, or as little, in the way of playing and socializing as they would like.
“Lissette has truly been a godsend for my furbabies. One requires daily meds and is super skittish and she has taken to Lissette just fine! Absolutely no issues at all. Lissette is always punctual and communicative and absolutely takes the best pictures while I’m away. Honestly wouldn’t leave my babies with anyone else!!!!!”
“Susanne’s updates were very reassuring and thorough each day. She sent great pictures too. We are very grateful to be able to depend on Susanne to take excellent care of our cats when we’re away.”
“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.”
“Lindsey was wonderful with our two cats. She went above and beyond, helping with an unexpected package delivery. One of our cats is very shy and he warmed up to Lindsey which was great knowing he was not hiding the whole time we were gone. We will definitely use Lindsey again!”
“Suzanne was so kind and helpful! She graciously saved us a huge headache by staying an extra day after our flight was cancelled and made sure our cats were taken care of. Her son Seamus was so good with the cats, too; he’s gentle and happy to play with or brush them ? Absolutely recommend Suzanne as a sitter!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. As someone who once traveled extensively for work, it was important to me to find a sitter who I knew would take care of my animals, just as well as me. Now that I have semi-retired, I get to focus on my passions. Walks, playtime, cuddle time, and yappy hour are all services I offer. I can accommodate whatever your pet’s needs may be. I will work with the routine you have created to keep your pet’s care routine seamless. I will treat your animal with the same love and compassion as I would my own. Safety is paramount and I want to ensure that when outside, the animal will be on a leash and in an environment where they will be comfortable walking.
About: Hello there! My name is Mary Koler and I am so excited to be caring for your furry family! Please know that your pets will be in great hands with me, as I have 8+ years of experience in emergency medicine as a vet tech, so I am well-trained to deal with even the worst of scenarios. As a pet owner myself, I can ensure that your pet will be met with the utmost compassion and patience, as I've owned all ages and personality types (from aggressive to terrified). I'm looking forward to meeting you and the fam! I have a flexible schedule completely devoted to pet care services! Vetted through more than just Rover and licensed through the city of San Diego. Let's see how I can fit you in! :) I have been caring for pets ever since I was a child, whether it be my own personal pets or caring through them in a hospital setting as a vet tech. My pets have always been spoiled and adventurous. I live an active lifestyle, perfect for high energy pets!
About: I grew up with 3 chihuahuas in my home. I've been caring for family pups since 10. I became an official dog mama in 2020 when I brought Milo home. I raised my pup from 10 weeks and I've seen all the good times and challenges in raising a pup. I trained Milo by myself; from crate training to mannerisms and potty training. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made and I'm looking forward to raising another pup in another year or two. I am an entrepreneur so I have a flexible schedule. Usually I'm working from home during the day on the weekdays. During my midday breaks I walk my pup and play with him so he gets exercise. I am able to create my schedule so I can work with your pet's needs. I prefer to care for pups in a suburban area where we can go for nice walks. I go on at least 2 long walks with my dog per day, so he can explore and get exercise in. Inside of the home I like to make sure there are plenty of toys available for playtime, and water at all times.

Fabiana F.
“I can't say enough good things about Fabiana! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear they genuinely love and understand dogs. My pup, Banks is usually shy around new people, but he warmed up instantly. Fabi is always punctual, communicative, and goes above and beyond to make sure Banks is happy, safe, and well-exercised. I love getting the updates and photos from their adventures—it's clear they have a great time together. Knowing Max is in such good hands gives me total peace of mind while I’m at work. Highly recommend to any dog owner looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable walker. Thanks again Fabiana!!!!”

Erica F.
“I have lived with Erica for 3 years and have witnessed the gentle, loving, and attentive care she has given her two cats. She has been quick to clean up after them. She ensures that when glass breaks on the kitchen floor, it's immediately swept up then their bowls were emptied and replaced with their contents. They were given regular vetinary visits to ensure any health issues were addressed. She keeps company with them, always taking time to hold and pet them while they appear to feel close and safe with her. I recommend Erica as a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter.”
