About: Being around dogs since childhood, I'm very sensitive to their needs. As a prior dog owner myself, I've dealt with several situations, in working with dogs during rehab, caring for a dog with special needs and adapting to senior care. I have also taken care of dogs for friends and coworkers. For the time being, my services come as a package deal. Please only book if your dog is for certain comfortable with toddlers. My child has been exposed to different dogs, including larger dogs such as a lab, and he knows to be respectful and give them their space. There will be no tail pulling, taunting or any other form of bullying permitted while we are with your pet, as we are to be gentle with all animals. For shorter drop-ins or walks I can have my child secured in a hiking backpack. Currently, I/we are best available for weekend sits, though weekend or evening walks and check-ins are also available. We are also available for longer stays if your pet is used to you being at work during the week. We'd love the opportunity to get puppy love when when possible. First and foremost, I understand that every pet is different, with unique needs, temperaments and personalities. Some are just fine while their owner is away, while others may display anxious behavior during this time. It is my goal that no matter what they experience, that they be as comfortable as possible. Of course I would be mindful of what your pets are and are not allowed... in my own experience, I was never one to give my dog human treats unless it was a very special occasion, so I can be respectful and understanding of any rules specific to your preference for your dog(s). I am happy to take them outside, drive them to a nearby park if that is something you are comfortable with, I think communication when it comes to your loved one is key.
About: I've been around animals for many years and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. I'm happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if instructed, go on walks, play with energetic pets, or simply provide companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have very flexible schedule as well so if I’m needed, I can always stop by in addition to the already scheduled times. I try to be around as much as I can. For walks, I usually walk them earlier in the morning before it gets too hot for them.
“Mariela took such good care of my two cats! She sent me update pictures and a great description of how the visit went each time. My VERY shy cat enjoyed her so much, Mariela even got some pets in! I had full peace of mind while away- and that’s priceless!”


About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and getting to know each dog's unique personality is one of my favorite parts of what I do. Over the past 5+ years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities from high energy pups who love to play to anxious or reactive dogs who just need a little extra patience and understanding. My own dog, Xochitl, has taught me so much about reading body language, building trust, and creating positive experiences for every dog I care for. She's playful, friendly, and loves making new friends, which has been a wonderful bonus for many of the dogs who stay with us. I'm experienced caring for puppies, reactive dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with medical needs, including administering oral medications, eye drops, following special diets, and sticking to detailed routines. Every dog is different, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and safe. A few things you can always expect from me: 💛 5+ years of hands-on dog care experience 💛 Experience with large & small breeds, high-energy, anxious, and reactive dogs 💛 Plenty of walks, playtime, mental enrichment, and cuddles 💛 Regular photo & video updates (plus the occasional funny moment!) 💛 Careful attention to body language, routines, and your dog's individual needs 💛 A clean, calm, and loving environment where your pup is treated like family At the end of the day, I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. I’m currently a full time student at San Diego City College with all online classes except one, which allows me to be flexible and attentive with pet care. I offer walks, drop ins, boarding, and house sitting, and I plan my schedule around each dog’s routine. I make sure dogs get consistent walks, playtime, meals, and any required medications, with plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m communicative and happy to adjust care based on your dog’s needs and comfort level ! My apartment is dog friendly and located in a safe, very walkable neighborhood. There are multiple designated areas nearby for dogs to use the bathroom, as well as several dog parks within a 10 min walking distance for dogs who enjoy extra exercise and social time. All outings are based on the owner’s preferences and the dog’s comfort level. Dogs in my care are always supervised, follow their regular routines, and receive attentive, structured care. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their established routines so pets feel comfortable and secure!

About: Ive owned dogs my whole life, and have also taken care of friends and families dogs. I have raised dogs from puppies to senior dogs. For the past 4 years I have done in house care for two different families. I am available weekday anytime after 5:30 pm and anytime during the weekend. I am also available on Holidays and I can do in home pet sitting. I have experience with daily pet care including dog walks, feeding schedules, and providing medications and directed. I also have experience with long term in home pet care.

About: Availability: 8am-3pm for drop ins and walks. Available to board 1 dog under 40lbs in my apartment in a super dog friendly neighborhood for up to one week. Must drop off and pick up. I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in and co-owning a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Building trust and making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and happy has always been my favorite part of the job. I offer dog walks in your neighborhood, drop-in visits, and boarding at my apartment for dogs 30lbs or less. I live in a very safe and dog friendly community and will be with your pup the entire time they visit. I will only accept up to TWO dogs at a time for walks and drop-ins so I can give each pup the attention they deserve. I can only take ONE dog for overnights. While I love all animals, dogs have always been a huge part of my life and are the pets I'm most experienced and comfortable caring for. I am originally from the Hudson Valley in New York and just moved to California in early 2026. My boyfriend accepted a job as an airline pilot in San Diego which brought us to this amazing city. Working as a pet sitter is the perfect fit for our new, unpredictable scheduled life here in sunny SoCal and I am fully committed to making sure my history with caring for other people's dogs continues here flawlessly. That being said, I can't wait to meet your pups and you as well! I am only available 8am-3pm even though Rover.com shows a 6am start. Please check my calendar for availability. I update my schedule every 2 weeks to coincide with my other job. ☺️ I'm committed to continuing my education and am currently in the process of becoming certified in canine first aid and emergency care. These skills will be crucial in the event that anything medically related happens while your dog is in my care. I am also insured as a pet sitter/walker through Pet Care Insurance.
“Carmen was wonderful with my two cats while I was away for the week. She sent daily photo updates and was very responsive when communicating. If you are looking for a pet sitter, I would absolutely recommend Carmen!”

“Leah is the absolute best! She constantly goes above and beyond to make sure my cats and home are taken care of, and she is extraordinary communicative about any questions or concerns. This most recent time away was during some fires in the area and she was so attentive to my concerns, sharing info with me and making a tentative plan in case the worst should happen. It makes me feel so comfortable and at ease knowing she is loving on my babies while I’m away. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Allison took such great care of our two dogs! We got updates and pictures consistently throughout our time away. We felt so comfortable on our trip knowing our babies were in good hands. Definitely will book with her again!! Thank you Allison!!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both cats and dogs. I have a flexible schedule and have volunteered at animal shelters, where I've helped in the clinic and participated in Doggy Day Out programs. I'm reliable, responsible, and great at time management, and I'd love the opportunity to give your pets the care, attention, and love they deserve! I have a pretty flexible schedule! I currently work part-time while completing graduate school online, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I'm happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I always treat every pet like they're my own! At home, I spend lots of time playing with and caring for my cat, making sure she's happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Having grown up with dogs, I'm experienced with taking them on walks, sticking to their routines, and making sure all of their needs are met. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I'll provide plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care while respecting their individual routines and preferences.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with three dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve also watched and cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets over the years, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. What sets me apart is how genuinely much I love animals and how seriously I take caring for them. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether that means sticking to their normal routine, giving them extra attention, or just being patient and calm with them, I want them to feel as at home as possible. As a graduate student, I’m responsible, dependable, and organized, and I bring that same mindset into pet care. I understand that trust is a huge part of leaving your pet with someone, and I want owners to feel fully confident that their pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible right now, which allows me to be available for a variety of pet care needs. I’m available all weekdays and weekends! I always make safety and trust my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are in a clean, comfortable, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I know every animal is different, so I try to make the experience as stress free as possible by keeping things consistent and giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the owner’s home, and I always aim to keep things tidy and follow directions closely. My goal is to make pets feel safe and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their animal is in good hands.

“Our dogs and cats loved Ravit! It made our trip so much nicer to know that they were getting great care. Ravit even figured out how to get our incredibly picky dog to eat!”

“Hollyanne & Donovan were great! They were very responsive and provided great care for my two cats! Will definitely be booking again! Thanks again! 😊”

“Kara's reintroduction to Athena after my girl, Sasha's passing went great. Kara was able to successfully walk my shy Athena with no issues. They also got some plank training exercises done! The photos Kara shared with me were reassuring all was going well. Athena and I look forward to seeing Kara in a couple of weeks! Kara, thank you!”

About: 👋🏼 Hello! We have used Rover regularly to find care for our pup and kitty, and are excited to open our home to do the same for others. We would be delighted to board or check in on your pup/kitty while you are away. 🏡 We have a bright home with a large, fenced in yard that is turfed which is perfect for play time. 🐶 We have an energetic lab who loves to chase the ball, run, and wrestle. He plays hard with his best buds, but knows when to take a break. Rudder can be very dominant, especially with younger dogs and those not fixed, which is why we require meet and greets! 🐱We also have a cat who’s very curious and loves to spend time with pups that stay with us. Your pup will get lots of play time in with us. **We ask that any pups stay with us must already be exposed to and good with cats. 🦮 We have the most experience caring for and have the perfect environment for Retrievers (We’re a bit biased 😅) but are of course open to caring for other breeds. I work from home 75%, so I am readily available to care for your pup. Morning walks, play breaks in the back yard, and lots of fun in between! Once the day is over, we usually go on a walk and play in the back. ☀️ We’re usually up at 6am. Our pup sleeps with us. We have a kennel for any furbabies who need them. Your pup will have someone with them the majority of the time. We treat any pups visiting us as family and will send lots of photos often so you are assured they are safe❤️

“Nicole is the best of the best! My cats look forward to their visits with her! She really takes her time with them and gives them lots of love and attention! Really recommend her to anyone that wants their pet to feel comfortable when they are gone!”

Emily was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, trustworthy, and attentive she is. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we're so grateful for the excellent care Emily provided. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely great with dogs!

I'm so grateful that Destiny was able to help out when my usual sitter had to cancel last minute! She was very conscientious, taking proactive steps to look after my cat when there was unusually hot weather & other unexpected issues that came up! Thanks again!
It was wonderful to have Ginny come daily in the morning and feed my two cats. One of my cats is way more social than the other, and she was able to get the shy one out and eating while she was there and also pet him. I knew my cats were in compassionate, caring and competent hands.

Tina is an excellent cat sitter. She is a true professional. She is responsive, took good notes during our initial meeting, and sent thorough picture and written updates on my cat. She even suggested things I hadn't thought of, especially in case of emergency, which was very helpful.

Diesel is currently dealing with old dog vestibular syndrome, so I was pretty nervous about leaving him with a new sitter as my usual one was unavailable. Eric was great! He kept me updated with clear communication, sent plenty of photos, and gave extra care to support Diesel’s condition and progress. He even offered extra drop-ins to make sure Diesel was comfortable. That level of care gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Eric again. Highly recommend!

Lauren was the most amazing sitter for my shy and anxious kitty Momo! Momo is antisocial when it comes to new people, but Lauren was so good with her that Momo would purr and happy roll during check ins after a few days. It was an absolute delight to have Lauren care for Momo - she really eased my worries as she was respectful, communicative, excelled at following instructions, and just the absolute best in caring for my skittish kitty!

Hazel was absolutely wonderful with Marcy. She generously made time for a thorough meet & greet beforehand and was incredibly attentive to all of Marcy’s special needs and quirks. It was clear that she listened carefully and put real thought into making Marcy feel comfortable and safe. She also went above and beyond during the visit, including bringing a bag for Marcy’s own treats and handling her dog reactivity calmly and skillfully on their walk. Her communication was exceptional - she left a very detailed, thoughtful update with plenty of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Marcy clearly felt comfortable with her, and I would happily book Hazel again. Highly recommend!
