“I had a good experience overall with Paige. She stayed for the full hour as requested, cleaned the litter boxes, sent lots of pictures and updates, cuddled with the cats, and left the apartment tidy afterward. It was clear she cared about making the cats comfortable while I was away.”
“Sara was amazing with our cats! She went above and beyond with watching them and making sure they were well taken care of and spent time playing with them so they wouldn’t get bored. Will definitely book her again!”
“Ra-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 photos—and 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!”
“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.”
“Ivania is very professional and great with the dogs! She communicated multiple times with us even just for a drop in which meant so much, I miss the dogs even when just gone for the day. Would highly recommend Ivania!”
“Tara is such a great dog sitter! She befriended our picky dog (he doesnt like anybody) and she cleaned up after our old lady. She is so patient and dog friendly. The dogs were best friends with her after 2 visits.”
“This 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!”
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.

“Tally 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.”
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!

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.

I’d love to play with, walk, feed, etc, and do drop ins.

As a proud dog mom for more than 15 years, caring for furbabies brings me so much joy—it's truly my dopamine! Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or providing a safe and loving environment, I treat every pet like family and care for them as if they were my own. I have been working from home since 2018. My schedule is 8-5pm M-F. My position allows me to be available to be available to tend to their needs. I also take my furbabies to the Dog park or on a walk before and after my shift. My home is central air-conditioned and heating. My backyard is fully fenced in. I work from home and have plenty of space for them to roam around, play and get comfy.Crates in our home are used as luxuries if they wanna nap or have personal space . They are also used for feeding time if they are a food protector. I enjoy giving them individual attention wether they are cuddles, ball players or enjoy walks. Every pet requires different things and I like to learn them to cater to their needs.

I’m happy to crate your pets and even accept puppies.
“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!”
About: I have owned dogs for a combined time of over 10 years. I enjoy walking them, playing with them, and cuddling with them. I work half days at a school so I am not available between 8-2 on weekdays. I am currently available most weekdays but not weekends. I am an early riser and love to go on walks. I’m 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: Hi pet guardians! Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. Please take a moment to review my bio and if you think I would be a good fit I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂 _____ About Me _____ I am a certified and insured dog trainer specialized in the area of applied canine ethology (dog socialization, and body language). _____ Experience, Education & Philosophy _____ I've done a lot of work in kennels, shelters and with rescue organizations, rehabilitating dogs with behavioral issues. I have a BSc in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, a certification in Canine Agonistic Behavior from Cambridge University's Ethology Institute, and I'm also a trainer in good standing with the Pet Professionals Guild. I'm a Fear Free practitioner, a positive (R+) trainer, and I adhere to ethical standards for modern, humane, science-based training. I treat every dog like my own, and the way I would hope to be treated if I was in their position: with endless patience, kindness, and sensitivity. All dogs in my care enjoy a managed environment prioritizing safety, comfort, fairness, and fun. Good manners are encouraged through the day with numerous opportunities to earn rewards, and I keep an anxiety-soothing routine with healthy periods of play, rest, mental stimulation, and physical exercise. Shy dogs get all the space they need and can initiate interaction on their terms, clingy dogs get lots of love and attention, and energetic dogs get engaged with lots of games and physical exertion!

Pet 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!
This was my first time using Rover for any services, and I’m 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!!
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re 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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s 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 you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d 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, 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
