About: đž Trusted, Experienced Pet Care in San Diego đž Hi! Iâm 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 also bring extensive equestrian experience, giving me confidence with animals of all sizes and temperaments. As a retired law enforcement professional, I value safety, reliability, and clear communication. You can feel confident your pets and home are in responsible, attentive hands. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and flexible care tailored to your petâs routine. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or a calm, steady presence, I provide dependable care and regular updates for your peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have recently retired from the law enforcement profession so I have plenty of availability and flexibility to work with your individual pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard and one resident adult dog who plays well with others. I believe our pets are part of the family so they will spend most of their time indoors with me and my pup. Iâm happy to crate your pets and even accept puppies.
âVictoria 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.â

âStephanie 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.â

About: Iâve 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 :)
âTally was wonderful with my last-minute request to look in on my dog and take her for a walk when I needed to be away for most of the day and night. She took good care of my dog and took care to secure the house. I happily recommend Tally as a reliable pet care professional and I will use her services in the future if she is available.â

âMonique is absolutely awesome! Sylvie is so grateful for the amazing walks and attention! She is very communicative and sends a lot of pictures! Definitely recommend!â

âSarah is amazing! She has been a great sitter for our four cats. What impressed us the most was how she managed to connect with our extremely shy cat, who usually hides from everyone and trusts no one but us. Sarah is a true cat whisperer, and we couldn't be happier with her care!â

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.
âKarmelita was amazing! Zippo can be kind of skittish with sitters, but had no problem coming out for her. Our cat needs medication regularly twice a day and Karmelita had no problem giving him the medication or with the schedule. And even stayed to play with him for a bit! She was an amazing communicator and took lots of photos. I highly recommend Karmelita and hope she is available next time we need someone to watch our cat!â

âTara took care off my girl very well while I was on vacation. She is a long haired Persian cat that needs extra care such as eye cleaning and hair brushing and Tara did an excellent job with it. She was very communicative and sent a lot of detailed info and photos to ease my worries. I highly recommend Tara to all pet parents.â

âRa-chel was absolutely wonderful! She was communicative, punctual, and followed all of the instructions I gave her. I have a puppy and a 3-year-old dog with anxiety, and she took the time to make sure both of them were comfortable and cared for. She sent plenty of updates and photosâand from the looks of it, they were both very happy! I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!â

My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable while youâre away.

About: Hi, I'm Eda! I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My grandpa had a beautiful farm in Temecula, where I grew up helping care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, ducks, and even one very mean buck. From an early age, I also looked after my neighbors' pets, and I loved every minute of it. My family is from Turkey, where there's a deep appreciation for animals, especially dogs and cats. In my culture, animals are considered part of the family, and that's exactly how I've always treated them. That mindset has stayed with me throughout my life. I'm the friend who always finds the pet at the party, stops to admire every dog on a walk (with permission, of course), and can't resist saying hello to my neighborhood cat. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I'll care for them with patience, attention, and lots of affection. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in kind, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and work part-time from home. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care, whether they need regular walks, playtime, feeding, enrichment, or simply some extra companionship throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I work from home part-time, giving me flexibility to provide attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I follow each ownerâs instructions closely, including routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and crate preferences. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
âThis was my first time using rover and I will most definitely be using Adrian again in the future! The daily and detailed updates/photos gave me wonderful peace of mind that my cat was in great hands while I was away. The daily check-ins were always that designated times and communications were quick & precise!â


About: I have owned dogs for a combined time of over 10 years. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, and cuddling with them. Over the summer I have a very flexible schedule as I am a teacher on summer break looking to make some extra cash. I am currently available most weekdays but not weekends. I am an early riser and love to go on walks. Iâm looking forward to meeting your pup and spending time with them. I have a fenced back yard and one calm Great Dane/ Lab mix we adopted over a year ago named Danner. We do not have children or any other pets. I would treat your dog as I do my own, with love, care and compassion.
About: My name is Tara, and I am a nurse by day. I have two cats that are my children, and am always looking to love on other fur babies. I am available to walk dogs, do drop in visits, house-sit animals in a client's home, and administer medications. I can clean after pets and care for puppies and kittens as well. I have previously volunteered at animal shelters and worked with many different animals. Other than pet care, I love being outdoors and staying active in nature. I absolutely love to travel in my spare time. I am also available for farm animal care as well- although I don't have any experience in this I would really love to learn. Thank you for reading! I am taking a break from nursing for a couple months and my schedule is pretty flexible/open! I am happy to provide care during this time of transition. I am reliable, friendly, and safe in my interactions with pets. Regardless of the temperament of the animal, I can read animals body language well and know how to make them feel safe.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lemon Grove is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lemon Grove
This was my first time using Rover for any services, and Iâm entirely pleased with the care that my puppy received! I have a busy schedule and adopted a new puppy that needs more attention than I can give right now, and Dana helped my puppy transition to her new life. I came home every day to a clean space, and a happy puppy! Dana is a reliable and caring puppy sitter!!

Sara is the best of the best. She was the first person to ever watch our cats and now we feel very comfortable going on trips and having her watch our babies. Our cats LOVE Sara and they have so much fun when sheâs there. Sara goes above and beyond with their care. She knows exactly what they need with their feeding schedules, routines, playtime, and giving them much needed attention and cuddles while weâre gone. Sara has excellent communication skills and responds very quickly. What I love is that she takes so many pictures during each visit and writes a very long and detailed note of how the visit went. I could not recommend her enough and will definitely book with her again!
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!
Natalia is the gold standard of pet sitters! We've utilized her services before and she always goes above and beyond looking after our furry family. This time she even helped us keep an ear infection under control by cleaning and applying ear drops for one of our dogs while we were away.

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!

Andrewâs great for dropping in visits with Bailey. He comes and takes care of her multiple times a week. He does short walks with her because sheâs an older dog and fills her water bowl and plays with her a little bit. She loves when he comes to visit when I need to work late.

Whether youâre at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lemon Grove stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitterâs needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lemon Grove. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
