“Karmelita was awesome! She was super communicative, respectful, and so great w my cat. She sent tons of pictures and made sure everything was done to the highest standard! I appreciated having her take such great care while I was away. Thank you!!”
“I can’t recommend Tara enough! She took amazing care of my anxious cat, ensuring she felt safe and comfortable while I was away. Tara was incredibly responsive to my requests, going above and beyond to give me peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“I have three very picky kitty cats. I set up a meet and greet with Sara knowing full well that all three of the cats would scatter and she might not see them at all that day. Boy was I wrong instead of running two of them came to the door to greet her. The third cat didn't run away and even let Sara come pet her! I think it is safe to say that Sara does have some magic or charm that my kitty cats fell in love with. I felt secure and safe having her taking care of my cats, going above and beyond even. I felt at ease giving her the key to our house knowing everything would be okay. I also love using Rover because that is an extra measure of protection for my home and pets. Thank you Sara and Rover!”
“Stephanie went above and beyond to take care of our disgruntled pit bull. In the process of switching sitters and our dog was not being friendly at all when Stephanie showed up, despite the previous meet & greet. Scary to have a pit growling and barking at you but Stephanie was able to win her over. Relieved and impressed, will be rebooking Stephanie regularly.”
“Took great care of my cat for the 2 weeks I was gone. Kept in touch each drop in and was super easy to communicate with. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Sabrina!”
“Victoria was great! Quick/easy to communicate, check ins were on time and as discussed, and she seemed to take great care of my cat while I was gone! I will use her in the future.”
“ariana took amazing care of my kitties! i could tell they were obsessed with her with every update and photo she shared. my cats are pretty skeptical of strangers, but ariana is like the cat whisperer because they cozied up to her real fast and she was great at problem solving when they bolted for medicine time! and when i came back from traveling, the house was so tidy and clean! thank you so much ariana!”
About: I have been a cat owner and dog owner for the majority of my life. I have extra time now as I have just retired and would love to help you care for your pet when you are unavailable. I have a few enjoyable activities that I do each day, and would love to add caring for your SINGLE pet to my daily routine. The pets that I have had in the past have been part of my family, and I take the utmost care to make sure they are safe and comfortable and loved.
“We booked drop ins and doggy day care with Taylor multiple times before and we are always happy with her! She follows instructions, provides great pictures, and is on time. She takes great care of our pets. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.”
About: Hi there! My name is Paige and I’m in San Diego looking for any kind of pet sitting jobs! I am an aerial dancer and surfer. I am a big time animal lover and I have been pet sitting for years and I have also been around animals my whole life. As a pet sitter I strive to make the animal feel most comfortable and happy. I stick to their routine and also give them lots of loving! I know how hard it is to find a good sitter so that’s one of the reasons why I became a pet sitter so that I can make people feel comfortable leaving their pets! I am currently a student with classes M-F 9-5 roughly, weekends are open. I would love to fit in some pet sitting time in there too! Please message me if you have any questions about my availability! :) I will always ensure the safety of the animal and also make sure it is comfortable, happy and loved when with me. I love having meet and greets with the animal before I ever start services.
About: I’ve dog sat and cat sat for multiple different clients in the San Diego region. I have 2 years of experience of pet sitting through a pet sitting agency. I own two cats and love animals! I am eager to help you take care of your fluffy and loveable pets :) I am currently a part time RN in the San Diego region working three days a week. I work mornings and am available after 4:00 pm on days that I work. Otherwise on days off I have open availability! I have experience administering medications to both cats and dogs. I love to play with animals to provide them with enrichment! If injections are needed (ie insulin) I am very teachable since I am an RN :)
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve never known a home without a four-legged companion. My love for them led me to leave my federal career and fully pursue my passion for animal care, and I now work at a 5-star veterinary hospital where I continue learning every day. What sets me apart is my hands-on veterinary experience combined with genuine compassion. I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical), managing prescription diets, monitoring senior pets, and supporting puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I understand behavior, stress signals, and safety protocols — so your pet is not just loved, but cared for knowledgeably and responsibly. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of affection (yes, unlimited cuddles are included). I also know how important communication is to pet parents, so you’ll receive thoughtful updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, gentle senior support, medication management, or simply a calm, loving presence, I am here to help. I would absolutely love the op-purr-tunity to meet your furry family member and become their new trusted friend! Pet care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time blocks for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, ensuring pets receive consistent, unrushed attention. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, and I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s a planned and valued part of my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand that being in their own environment helps reduce stress, so I aim to keep everything as familiar and calm as possible. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise routines, and any specific behavioral guidelines you provide. I double-check gates, doors, crates, and harnesses before and after every walk or visit to ensure your pet’s safety at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, taught them tricks and dog/cat sat for multiple family members and family friends. I’m very empathetic towards animals and will always try to understand them and work around their personalities. I am soon starting college and I’ve been wanting to make a lunch budget by doing something on the side that I like! Being with animals is very calming to me so I think having the time with pets inbetween days would be lovely. I always will try to establish a trust between me and the pet, I will sit a comfortable distance away and have your pet give trust on their own terms, I would like to be a sitter that your pet is friendly with and not just a person who comes in to feed them.
About: 🐾 Trusted, Experienced Pet Care in San Diego 🐾 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover, dog owner, and experienced pet caregiver serving San Diego. I share my home with one friendly adult dog and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets for friends, neighbors, and family.

I’m happy to crate your pets and even accept puppies.
“Shakhzoda took care of my cat, Butter, for a week. She kept me updated throughout the entire time, sending photos and videos, and she was wonderful with Butter. I will definitely reach out to her again for cat care in the future. Thank you for being amazing!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life. My family has a lovably big German shepherd and two little poms who we love. When I lived with my parents, I frequently walked and fed all three dogs. As well as administered meds to my senior poms. All types of animals, especially dogs and cats make me very happy and I love to show my appreciation to them for that. Helping anyone care for their furry friends would be an honor and gift. All pets deserve love, attention, care, and loads of playtime fun! I’m new to Rover and I work part time as a server at a sushi restaurant. On my days off, I would love to help care for pets. Please contact me directly for accurate availability, as my weekly schedule varies. However a typical week may look like: Tuesdays - 8 am - 10 pm available for walks, drop ins Wednesdays - 8 am - 10 pm available for walks, drop ins Sundays and Mondays : 8 am - 12 pm available for walks , drop ins (note: all late hour bookings are tentative to client/sitter previous trust building and confidence. Before booking any past dusk appointments, I respectfully request to build a rapport with the client through repeated earlier timed bookings beforehand.) In my home I have two friendly cats. They have experience with dogs and other cats as well. They don’t cause problems with other animals. Going to a clients home, I am willing to care for an animal however is requested. I’d love to play with, walk, feed, etc, and do drop ins.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lemon Grove
She did such a great job taking care of my cat! She was caring, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. I could tell she genuinely cared about my cat, which meant so much to me. I really appreciated her help and would highly recommend her to other pet parents! 🐾❤️
Aurora was so great with my kitten! She was on time for our pre-meeting and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my kitten in her care. Her communication while I was away was wonderful. She sent lots of pictures, left detailed notes, and kept me updated throughout my trip. I especially appreciated the attention she gave to actually spending time with my kitten and actively playing with her twice a day, rather than just stopping in to take care of the basics. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing Aurora had everything under control and my kitten was getting lots of attention and love. I would absolutely recommend her!
Mackenzie did an awesome job watching our two cats! She is a great communicator and is very kind. Her calm demeanor helped our shy cats warm up to her right away. We felt very comfortable and at ease knowing our babies were in good hands. I would definitely book Mackenzie again!
This was our second time asking Sahba to take care of our cats, and once again she did an amazing job. Sahba asked questions whenever something came up, which gave us peace of mind. She also sent us lots of photos and videos of our cats while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving our home and our cats in her care. We highly recommend her!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
