“Nicole was STELLAR! She's calm and focused (not scattered/not spread too thin). She listens and pays attention to detail. She's professional, respectful, prompt. Our 18 year old dachshund had 3 separate eye drops to be given 2x daily and 3 separate heart/blood pressure pills. Also he's grumpy, not friendly to taking meds. She ROCKED with our geriatric stubborn guy. She spent oodles of time with our boy, making him feel comfortable and providing companionship while we were away for 4 nights/ 5 days. Highly recommend! Nicole you're amazing. Thank you!”

“Kristen stayed with Charlie for a week while we were out of town. She provided pictures and updates daily and took great care of him. Super great at communication and left everything exactly the same as when we left. She is awesome and very reliable! Hope to have her back again soon!”

About: Besides meeting the basic requirements of what your dog needs, I highly value their companionship, so I will offer them lots of attentive care, love, and adventure. Customized Attention: I only take a small number of bookings at once. This means your pet gets one-on-one attention and isn't just one of many dogs competing for space or cuddles. Safety First: I treat your house and your pet with the utmost respect. I follow all instructions exactly and keep a sharp eye out during walks or playtime to prevent issues before they start. Puppy Training & Play: I can help maintain your puppy's house rules, crate training, and basic cues (like sit/stay) during my visit. Walk me through their training needs! Clear Updates: I am an excellent communicator. You'll get timely photo updates and detailed Rover Cards for every service, so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I'm currently a senior in high school, so I have plenty of time to attend to dogs in my care. During week days, I align more with a dog-walking routine, and or, a short drop-in visit at a client's home. If needed, I'm free weekends (Friday, Saturday nights) for house sitting and to care for your dog. My schedule will OPEN during time off school. 😊 School Breaks: - November 22nd - 28th (Thanksgiving Break) - December 22nd 2025 - January 9th 2026 (Winter Break) - March 30th - April 6th (Spring Break) My goal for every service is to give your pet a safe, fun, and stress-free time while keeping you updated. The care I provide is always based exactly on your pet's routine and needs. 🐾 House Sitting (Client’s Home): 🌸 Care: I provide overnight care and all the standard services: feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks and giving medication if needed. 🌸 Home Security: I am respectful of your home, following all house rules, and I can take care of light tasks like watering plants. 🌸 Safety: I keep your pet safe and stick to their usual walking routes and backyard routines. Drop-In Visits (Client’s Home): ⭐️ I can visit your home for a set amount of time (may vary) to take care of your pet's core needs. ~ Give fresh food and water ~ Provide bathroom breaks ~ Offer focused playtime and cuddles! ~ Give medication, if necessary. Dog Walking (Your Neighborhood) 🫶🏻 Your dog gets a walk around your neighborhood for their exercise and potty breaks. 🫶🏻 I use the gear you provide (leash, harness) and follow all your instructions to keep your dog safe and comfortable during the walk. I am alert to traffic, other dogs, and weather conditions. 🫶🏻 After walks - I check paws for cleaning and I give fresh water before I leave. UPDATES: You get a Rover Card sent through the app about how the drop-in visit went, or how the walk was. My Commitment: Before any booking, I always schedule a free meet & greet to go over your pet's specific needs, routines, and any emergency information. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priority! ❤️

“Machiel was phenomenal! Our 7yr old male Labrador absolutely loved him immediately, and we felt so comforted knowing we were leaving him in good hands. In addition to taking great care of our dog and sending photo and video updates, Machiel left our home even cleaner than he had found it. Highly recommend. Will definitely be booking Machiel again!”

About: Hi! My name is Devin, and I’m a dependable animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, overnight care, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. Over the past 10–11 years, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities—from small breed dogs and cats to large dogs weighing up to 80 pounds. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, senior pets, shy animals, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m an active person who genuinely enjoys getting outside with dogs. Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood walk, an energetic run, or simply spending time exploring new sights and smells, I love helping pets stay physically and mentally engaged. In my free time, I often take my own pets to the beach to enjoy fresh air, socialization, and a little water play. Watching them have fun while staying active is one of my favorite parts of being a pet owner, and I’d love to provide that same level of care and enrichment for your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistent care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently offering: * Dog walking * Drop-in visits * House sitting * Overnight pet care I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, my days already revolve around feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and healthy. I enjoy being active, so adding dog walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays fits well into my schedule. I believe every pet deserves individual attention, consistency, and plenty of affection, and I make time to provide that level of care for every pet I look after. I always strive to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household routines your pet is used to. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with regular photo and message updates so you know they’re doing well. For dogs, I’m happy to provide walks, play sessions, or even a run if that’s part of their normal routine. For cats, I take a patient approach and let them interact at their own pace while making sure they receive fresh food and water, a clean litter box, enrichment, and companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.

“Jessica sent pictures daily and took great care of Marley. She washed sheets and towels - we returned home to a clean house and a happy dog. Highly recommend Jessica!”

“Britt did such an incredible job with our cat. It was evident our cat was in good hands by looking at photos and videos of the two playing and cuddling together. She went above and beyond in keeping our house clean and communicating. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“The care Beth provided to our dogs was exceptional. Her commitment to ensuring their well-being while we were away was outstanding and evidenced by their calm, relaxed, happy state upon our return. The ability to be worry-free and knowing without a doubt that our dogs are safe and happy while we are away from home is essential, though not easy to come by. Beth gave us that and we look forward to having her care for our pups again (and again) in the future.”

About: Must love dogs and I do! Dogs are such a big part of our lives and I have cared for dogs for most of my life. I have been providing the upmost fun and safe care for my neighbors dogs on/off for 20+ years. My calm demeanor makes pet visits fun and relaxing for your fur baby. I love giving pups the necessary walks they need whether your dog is full of energy or in their senior years of life. I have my own business that allows for flexibility during the week. I primarily work from home in the late afternoons and weekends which allows me extra time during the week for your dog. I am a caring dog lover who is attentive & dependable. I will give your fur baby a wonderful experience which may include cuddles, fetch, play time, pets and walks. If you wish to receive a text of my visit I can provide that along with a pic of the fun we are having.

“Iulia is a wonderful, caring person who did a fantastic job watching Bella over the 2017 New Years holiday. She was a lifesaver when we had air travel delays and had to extend for a day. Weve found both a Bella AND family friend. THANKS!”

“I can't sing enough praises for Dana, who stayed looked after our home and pets or a whole month while we were out of the country. Throughout our time away, Dana kept us updated with the perfect balance of messages, and let me tell you, her updates were more than just routine check-ins. They were filled with anecdotes and little details that showed she truly got to know our pets. Her fun responses made it clear that she was spending quality time with them, making sure they felt loved and cared for in our absence. But it wasn't just our pets Dana took care of; she treated our home with the same love and respect. Coming back to a house that was not only well taken care of but also perfectly clean was amazing! It was evident that Dana went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. Finding someone you trust to look after your furry family members is no easy feat, but with Dana, we hit the jackpot. Knowing that she's there to take care of our pets gives us such peace of mind when we're away. If you're searching for a pet sitter who will treat your animals like family, look no further than Dana – we couldn't have asked for anyone better!”

About: Hello everyone. My name is Morgan. I am a former veterinary assistant with 10 years experience in the medical field. My dog passed away recently, so I’m looking to get back into working with animals in a more relaxed way. I am more than happy to do housesitting/pet sitting and daily dog walks or just coming to keep your cat some company at home while you’re at work if you don’t want them to be alone. I work part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your babies. I’m looking to establish a strongly base and make Rover full-time :) I would like to get into housesitting/pet sitting and dog walking. I also would like to get into cat care whether that is babysitting while you’re on vacation or if you just want them to have some company while you’re at work.

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and genuinely enjoy being around them, whether that’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just keeping them company. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I live an active lifestyle, so I’m happy to keep up with high-energy pups, but I also understand the importance of patience and calm for more relaxed or anxious dogs. My goal is to make sure your dog feels at home, even when you’re not. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! With my current work schedule, I have the flexibility to make time for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so incorporating pet care into my day is something I genuinely look forward to. I prioritize being dependable, communicative, and making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, love, and quality time! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions, like feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get the right balance of playtime, attention, and calm energy depending on their personality. I’m also very respectful of your home, keep things clean, and provide regular updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I treat your home/pet like my own — that's how I approach every house sitting stay in Vista and across North San Diego County, serving pet parents in Vista and nearby Oceanside, Carlsbad, and San Marcos. I have dog sitting experience and encourage you to read my reviews. When I am staying in someone's home babysitting for their pet, I treat the place with respect and care. I give dogs 2 walks each day of stay. Morning walk will be 20 minutes. Evening walk will be over an hour as a walk or over an hour at the dog park (I drive the dog in my car) if your pet is able to get along with other dogs. I do remote work during the day using the house internet. One or two days a week I work 60 minutes away for up to 8 hours during the day. Owners receive updates through links to Google Photos online albums. I provide photo and video links. I have 10 years of experience and can administer medication and provide daily exercise. 4 days a week I work in Vista, CA from 9am to 5pm. I walk the dogs once before I leave for work, once when I get home amd once before bed time. One day per week I work remote using the internet of the house in which I am sitting. . On Sunday mornings I attend church until around 12:30pm. Mornings from 5am to 7am I exercise at a local gym after the pet gets his/her early morning pee walk and after I get back from the gym the pet gets a post breakfast potty walk. I have a detailed form I ask the homeowner/pet owner to fill out that gives me instructions on how to care for their property and their pet. You can download pictures of the form pages from my Rover gallery.

“Kathryn was amazing with our senior Golden over the Holiday break. She even took the initiative to research and purchase some doggie socks and hot spot medicine for a hot spot on her foot we have been trying to get rid of. Our neighbor even ran into Kathryn on a walk and couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful she was and wanted her number for her pups. I’m so thankful I found someone I trust and feel so comfortable with in my home with my Daisy. Will definitely book her again for our next trip!”

Amy W.

“Josue and Joanna are both so amazing to my dog Lucy! She loves them and always gets so excited to see them! They treat her like their own and I always feel at ease when Lucy is with them! 10/10 I recommend them for your fur babies!!”

“Evelyn stayed overnight with our 8-week old puppy right after we got her. She allowed us to get sleep while she took our puppy out to potty, and then played with her in the morning. She was an utter joy to work with, incredibly knowledgeable, and very reliable. Wd learned so much from her about taking care of a puppy. Our puppy loved her and always looked forward to when she came to the house.”
