“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!”
“Adrian always does a great job looking after my cat while I'm away. She is very reliable and Lila Bear loves her. I would highly recommend Adrian to anyone looking for a cat sitter”
“This was my second time having Stephen care for my pets, and once again I'm very happy to report that he is professional, communicative, caring, and dependable. He will absolutely continue to be my go-to for all my pet-sitting needs!”
About: Pets Are The Greatest Gift Bestowed Upon Mankind. They Were My Only Reason To Live On Numerous Occasions. I Am The Definition Of An Animal Enthusiast. I Would Love To Build Authentic Relationships With My Clients And Their Furry Friends And To Be Someone They Can Trust For Years Down The Line. I currently have open availability. I can operate on both short and long term notice. Animals take priority in my life over human affairs. Lol At the moment, I cannot offer services at my own home, but I’m looking to move into a pet friendly area shortly. I provide care in the client’s home by following the pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while the owner is away. I would provide fresh food and water, walks and exercise, playtime, snuggles, bathroom breaks, and cleaning up after the pet. I would obviously follow any specific feeding, medication, or behavioral instructions provided by the owner. I treat the client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own, keep things clean and secure, and communicate with the owner regularly with updates and photos.
“She is always on time and good with dogs. She followed all the instructions we provided and went above and beyond! I highly recommend her and will definitely contact her again for future needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 8, always having a dog in the home and a wide variety! From smalll dogs to large dogs and various breeds I’ve had the great opportunity of being able to take care of them all! I have a hybrid work schedule throughout the week that allows me to work from home so I’m typically always able to accommodate and be there for your pups! I have two yards, the backyard being completely fenced and spacious for your fur baby. I have two friendly black labrador neutered males who are very well socialized and can easily keep your pets company if you’d like! I also offer your pet their own space if you prefer that! If your pet is crate trained, I can accommodate that as well. There will be multiple potty breaks and play times for your pet while they are here!
“Brenda is a great pet sitter, and I highly recommend her. She keeps you updated on your furry friend’s well-being and plays with them as much as possible. I definitely will be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I am great with pets and gladly will help with your furry friend! I’m currently a full-time student, but I only have classes on some days. I finish classes around 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and I only have classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays—meaning I’m home the rest of the week. I’m also available for early morning drop-off visits, if needed. I’m energetic and active, so I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced yard, perfect for safe playtime. I share my home with two sweet pups—a 3-year-old Maltipoo and an 8-year-old Golden Retriever. Both are spayed females, gentle, and get along well with other dogs and cats. My Maltipoo can be a little yappy at first since she startles easily, so I like to introduce her slowly to new furry friends. Once she warms up, she’s all love!
About: I provide dependable and compassionate dog care, ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. With a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail, I make sure dogs are well-fed, exercised, and given the care they deserve. You can trust that your dog will be in reliable hands and treated with the same level of care and respect as if they were my own. This would be my side job, as I am a student-athlete in college. I can come over any part of the day since most of my classes are online, and have good flexibility. I have a pretty big yard at home and its all surrounded by different kinds of gates. At clients houses, I would be sure that gates and doors are closed, and pets are taken good care of!
About: We’ve been raised around dogs and cats our whole life. As a result, we have vast experience of taking care of animals. Currently, we are the owners of 1 labrador retriever, so we are in tune with the demands and joys of taking care of dogs. We are available for pet care in the morning before 7 and in the evening after 5 Monday through Friday. We are very flexible on the weekends. At our home, we have a fenced in small yard and also a dog park within my condominium which is spacious, clean, and fenced in. When taking care of dogs at other’s homes, we are willing to follow their instructions.
“Anna was very attentive for our shy cat. She made sure to always give updates and ease my anxiety. Anna also always took photos and followed our directions carefully. Thank you, Anna!”
“Mackenzie is an exceptional cat sitter! From the moment we first contacted her, her communication was outstanding. She was incredibly responsive to our questions and updates. Her punctuality was also remarkable. She arrived exactly when she said she would for every visit. She made sure that our two cats (they are really shy) were well cared for and happy. We truly appreciated the regular photo updates of the cats during each visit. Mackenzie went above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely loves animals. We wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter :)”
“Nat took amazing care of Teddy and even kept an eye on my cat, who doesn’t need much, but likes to hang with Teddy while he’s outside. Very kind of her to let the cat back out and in with them, I appreciate that. Teddy looks very happy and tired, I’m sure he ran her absolutely ragged with the ball but that’s what he loves, he’s a simple guy. 😂. Thanks Nat!”
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 :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lemon Grove
Stella was amazing! It was our first time using Rober to find someone to watch our kitty while we were out of town for the weekend. We got lots of adorable check-in photos and she left the sweetest messages about her visit. No issues whatsoever!! Will definitely use Stella again for future needs.
Adrian was amazing accommodating a last minute request as something came up and delivered excellent service and communication. Adrian was punctual, and sent me pictures of my dog and I could tell he was having a good time and was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and use next time!
Needed drop ins for my puppy and Dana was the best support. Dana became her new best friend whenever I was working. My puppy was engaged and excited whenever Dana came for a drop in, and I never had to worry what my puppy was doing when I left the house- Thanks Dana!
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! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lemon Grove is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,029 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lemon Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lemon Grove. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
