About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have two French bulldogs and a pug so I am particularly knowledgeable about brachycephalic breeds and dogs with chronic pain and injuries like IVDD. I grew up with a mastiff/shepard mix and have worked with dogs of all sizes in my time spent volunteering as a dog walker and care specialist at Priceless Pets and taking dogs on Dog Day Out at SD Humane Society. I am currently studying for the LSAT in October so I have pretty open/flexible availability. After that I’ll be working full time for the year and have availability in mornings, evenings, and weekends. In my home, my dogs are crate trained and walk on leashes and harnesses. They walk in my neighborhood and occasionally go on outings in the car.
“Vanessa was amazing with our kitties and they warmed up to her quickly. One of our cats is terrified of new people and even she came out and let her pet her. I didn’t worry about our cats the couple days we were gone which makes it so much easier to go away. Vanessa was great at communicating too and she went above and beyond. Thank you so much Vanessa!”
About: I love dogs. I’ve had dogs with lots of anxiety and have watched friends’ pups since I was a teen! My experience ranges from tiring pups out, to providing a little extra attention to those who need more support. I’m currently free most days. Starting in August I will be in grad school full-time Mon-Friday 8am-5pm. However every other week is remote and I am open to watching your sweet pet while I attend classes online. I use my best judgement and respect the parents’ wishes to whatever your animal needs. My partner is a former vet tech so I feel well informed on how to make spaces as safe as possible for pets.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have had house pets since I was 13. I am an animal lover at heart and will make sure your pups are spoiled (within reason). I will be going to school in the Fall and my classes will go from the morning to the afternoon. Pet care will mostly happen in the evenings and overnight if needed. I will make sure your dogs get attention, love, food, walks and whatever they need. Any special instructions will be taken into account so your pups live their best life.
“Kelly stopped by for a list minute drop in when we had yo leave our puppy home for more than 6 hours. She kept us updated, gave her all the love, and was punctual. I would definitely work with her again. Thanks Kelly!”
“Cassie was amazing with our cat, Jolly, while we were away. She was responsive, caring, and followed all our instructions perfectly. She kept us updated with photos during her visit, played with Jolly, and made sure she was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable cat sitter!”
“Azuree did such a wonderful job caring for our dogs. During her drop in, not only did she make sure the dogs we fed and cared for, but was so careful to follow instructions and provide us with updates to let us know our house and the pups were well. Such a careful and attentive person! Will definitely be using Azuree again!”
About: With nearly a decade of hands-on experience in pet care, I began caring for dogs at the age of 12 and launched my own dog walking business by 16. Over the past one to two years, I have expanded my services to include in-home dog and cat sitting, providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My background reflects a lifelong commitment to animal well-being and professional, trustworthy service. This is my full time job so any dates not taken by other clients i’d be very happy to take care of you’re lovely and fluffy friends! When caring for dogs in clients homes, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and stress-free by maintaining their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. I ensure their environment stays clean and safe, give them plenty of attention and affection, and closely follow any special instructions from the owner. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make each dog feel secure and loved!
About: Growing up I've taken care of my family's dogs, at the moment my family has three dogs; an American Eskimo, a Eurasier, and a mini Australian Shepard. I love all animals at the moment I have a leopard gecko named Cyrus! I can provide walks on a strict/loose scheduled basis, cater to feeding times with routines/extra steps, I can offer space and quiet to older dogs/skittish dogs, I'm able to provide play time to those who have high energy dogs as well. As I am a college student, I am looking for clients who need a dog sitter on the weekends. Due to this, I am free all of Saturday and Sunday yet later in the day after noon hours on Tuesday through Friday. I would prefer if I didn't have to stay the night in your home, however if it's requested for weekends more details would be necessary. As a house sitter I plan to care for your fur baby. If your dogs needs a walk or two a day, brushing, meal times, and play time I am able to offer. I truly want your pet to feel safe in their home while I am there. I don't want to overstep boundaries of both you or your fur baby.

“Abigail came for 10 days at lunch time to let our 2 dogs out in the backyard. She is very reliable, arrived on time every day and played well with energetic puppy. My dogs loved her and we will use Abigail again!”
“Katelynn was so great with my cat, Mocha! He is diabetic and has to stick to a strict schedule for eating and receiving his insulin, and Katelynn made sure that he stayed on track while I was away. She took the time to meet me and Mocha beforehand, and I could tell Mocha instantly liked her! I felt totally at ease knowing that Katelynn would be caring for Mocha while I was away, and look forward to booking with her again in the future!”
“Kim took great care of Ezequiel and Ezmeralda and sent lots of pictures - even pictures of clean litter box, food and water bowls. She is very conscientious and went beyond the things for which I asked.”

Alessandra W.
“I cannot recommend Allie highly enough as a dog walker. From the very first time she met our dogs, it was clear how deeply she cares for animals—not just as a job, but from the heart. She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and goes the extra mile to make sure our pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for. Her calm, loving nature puts both pets and owners at ease, and our dogs absolutely adore her. Whether it’s rain or shine, Allie shows up with a smile and a genuine enthusiasm that’s rare to find. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your furry family member, Allie truly outstanding.”

“I had the pleasure of having my two cats, Pepe and Monkey, cat-sat for 11 days, and I couldn't be happier with the care they received. Both of my cats were clearly relaxed, well-fed, and comfortable when I returned—signs that they had been in great hands. I was kept updated throughout the stay, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”

Lake San Marcos pet parents share their Rover experiences
Paizley is amazing!! She communicates really well and cared very well for our kitties. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend!
Emma, is the best, I was nervous, thinking my cat would have several issues with me being gone, but it was quite the opposite. He loved them and I believe he misses her. The updates were awesome. I felt so comfortable on my trip knowing that my Kat Phoenix was in great hands. I could tell by the pictures she sent every day. I will always use this site but especially Emma every time I’m out of town.
Kelly stopped by for a list minute drop in when we had yo leave our puppy home for more than 6 hours. She kept us updated, gave her all the love, and was punctual. I would definitely work with her again. Thanks Kelly!
Catelin was a life-saver! She went above and beyond to make sure my pups were care for!! I will definitely utilize and recommend Catelin for future dog sitting services.
Riley was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with, punctual, and respectful. We came home to happy kitties and it was clear she took great care of them. Would definitely hire her again as our Rover sitter!
Cassie was amazing! Showed up at my designated time even though she didn't need to, gave him his treats even though I said it wasn't necessary every day, and sent the cutest pictures. I know my cat was getting used to her when she sent a pic showing him screening at her, haha! He does that every time I feed him. I would definitely contact her again for my next vacation! Thank you
Chloe was great with our cat Zorro, she was able to give him his medicine timely and he loved her. We will be booking her in the future without hesitation!
Ava is a great and sweet pet sitter. She took very good care of my cat and my house. She even went the extra mile brushing him and trimming his nails. Awesome!
Nancy was really attentive with both our dogs while we were away. She checked in daily and sent pictures for each. She made us feel comfortable about being away from them. Would highly recommend her! Will book again!
Thank you for the peace of mind we get from your excellent communication, prompt visits and your patience with our more reclusive family members.
I rebook with Vanessa every time I’m out of town. She is communicative, friendly, and so good with my cat! She’s gives him lots of attention and love and sends me plenty of pictures which I absolutely adore. I could not recommend Vanessa more, she’s the best!
Jessica did a great job. Cats were well taken care of and Jessica communicated really well on a couple questions. Thanks Jessica!
Lauren was great! I booked last minute and was unsure if I was going to be able to find a sitter to meet all expectations. I definitely would recommend her service. Very kind, thorough, and gave my senior dog the attention he needs (medications, feeding, a walk, & love). Thank you Lauren!!!
Olivia is so amazing!! Very sweet, communicative, and talented with care! Booking with her was very easy and after meeting her I knew my cat was in great hands! In caring for my cat she went above and beyond in her time management, communication with me, and every care service I needed. 100% recommend and will definitely be booking with her again when I need care :)
What a great find in Katelynn! She is reliable and kind. My pets liked her immediately which is saying a lot! I’ve already booked her for more sitting dates.
