About: Growing up I had a chocolate lab and three doodles which formed my love for dogs. Dog sitting for neighbors was my very first job and have experience watching dogs for friends and family throughout my life. From high energy trouble makers to chill doodles I have plenty of experience and love for all types of dogs. I work remotely and spend most of my days in my office in my two bedroom apartment. I live alone and typically only leave during weekdays for the gym, grocery shopping and farmers markets as part of my daily routine. I am active and love to go on jogs to the beach to balance out the time I spend in front of screens. On weekends I like to go to coffee shops, golf, and occasionally get out of the city for a nature adventure. Dog sitting fits well into my chill routine. I’ve always wanted a dog of my own, but unfortunately I chose a career in sales after college. For several years I was lucky to have a roommate with a fluffy doodle who I loved and often took care of whenever he wasn’t around, but he has moved out. The frequent travel has held me back from getting my own and dog sitting when I’m home is my solution to getting that dog love missing in my life. I am happy to take care of all different types of dogs. If they are chill and just need love and attention, that works. If they need tons of walking and action, even better. I’ll be sending plenty of pics of your dog and me having a blast doing whatever it is you recommend they like to do. My apartment has hardwood floors, two balconies, is 1224 square feet, and plenty of large windows which dogs love to stare out of. I also have a giant dog bed my roommate left behind that I kept for pet sitting. There are doggie bags included right outside my apartment and the neighborhood (Dylan Point Loma) is very dog friendly. Convenient to take a walk at any time right from the apartment around Point Loma.
“Tina is a great sitter! She goes above and beyond - she let me know about a notice on my door while I was out of town and cleaned up the litter my cats tend to leave around (even though we never discussed those responsibilities). Very easy to work with and clearly loves pets!”

“Elif is wonderful! Upon Meeting her I had a great feeling and knew immediately I wouldn’t have to worry about my two cats, she took great care of them and I’m so glad we have found Elif through this App.”
About: I am a dog person! No matter the dog I am sure to love and adore them. I do have a 5 year old English Bulldog (M) of my own who is a total couch potato. He’s spent a lot of time around other dogs and does particularly well with puppies and female dogs (he’s a ladies man lol). Growing up neighbors, friends and family were always calling me to care for their fur babies whether they were running home late from work or away for vacation. Some breeds I have sat in the past include: bulldogs, Golden’s, labs, bernies, and pugs I currently work from home 4.5 days a week (Tuesday mornings I am in office), so have a fairly flexible schedule when it comes to tending to your pets needs🙂 ** At this time I am not able to stay overnight at clients homes, if you are interested in having me do multiple drop in visits to your home throughout the day reach out and I will charge you my overnight price. While you are away my goal is to allow your pet to stay on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether that be going for long walks, playing outside, or extra long belly rubs I want to make sure your pet is getting the love and care they are used to.
“Virginie was a lifesaver, accommodating our booking over the Thanksgiving holiday. She took excellent care of our kitties and ensured our tortoise stayed undisturbed in its slumber. Highly recommend her attentive and thoughtful pet care!”
About: I have been watching dogs since I was a child. I watched, trained, and potty trained my own dogs. I am a dog lover who has a lot of energy and is caring. I am a dog owner myself and realize how important it is to trust somebody with their family member (their dog). I am patient and calm and can handle difficult or stressful situations. I do not view dog sitting as a job but as a fun opportunity. I am responsible and mature enough to handle a dog and will ensure your dog will always be safe. I am good with following instructions on your preferences for your pet. I have a friendly dog who would love company when boarding as well .

About: I have grown up with dogs and have watched my friends dogs many times. I worked at a dog boarding center one summer where I took care of dogs of all sizes and energy levels! I am currently working remotely, so I can spend almost all day at home with your pups if needed! I am free most weekends as well! I love being outside and will gladly walk dogs! I am used to homes with yards as well as apartments that have no yards where the pets need to go for walks to go outside! I am also comfortable with giving dogs medication as well as eye drops.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience. I was raised with three dogs at home, and that taught me how to keep pets safe, happy, and understood. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m home by late morning every day, giving me lots of time to focus on pet care. Since I work out twice a day and love being outdoors, daily dog walks and activity sessions fit seamlessly into my schedule. Your pup will always get the attention and exercise they need I treat every pet like family. I make sure they’re always safe—whether that’s keeping an eye on them during walks, securing doors, or making sure they’re never around anything dangerous. I follow your guidelines so your pet sticks to the routine they’re used to, which helps them feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
About: Pet care in San Diego! Ocean Beach, Gaslamp, Little Italy, Loma Portal and beyond. You can feel great knowing that your dog is in great hands and getting the attention they need. I have two dogs at home who are my absolute world, and what I look for in a pet sitter is someone who is safe, reliable, and spoils my dogs. That’s exactly why those are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I love to hike and explore. I am very energetic, reliable, friendly, and excited to help care for your pet! I have availability throughout week and have a very flexible schedule. I would love to help you care for your pet any time, any day! treat every pet like family. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I follow your routine so your pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Ashley was so great she had clear communication and I felt confident having her watch my cat! I will definitely be re-booking with her as she cared for her very well while I was away.”

“She has been absolutely amazing! When my husband and I need a dog walker in the future we will definitely be rebooking through her. Thoughtful and so great with Ziggy that my dog jumps for joy when she comes by to get her :)”

“Rachel was the perfect sitter! It was the first time we left our new kitties for a few days and truly Rachel and her communication left us so at ease! Our cats are indoor / outdoor which adds a little more complexity but Rachel handled it with ease and was so sweet to work with! Can’t wait to book again :)”

About: Ive trained two puppies and cared for my first dog at the end of her life, giving me patience and compassion for dogs of all ages. Ill be traveling intermittently throughout the summer, but will be available part time for walking or potty breaks while balancing my part time job at SDSU. I prioritize safe, attentive walks, using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings. I follow your instructions so your dog feels cared for and returns home happy.

Loma Portal pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emma did a great job caring for my senior kitty, Hazel. Second time booking and was very pleased again with the care she provided (daily updates, pictures, etc.) Was away for a week and felt very comfortable knowing Hazel was being so well cared for. Will book again in the future.

I couldn’t recommend Paulette enough! She is so kind, responsive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My cats adore her and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands. Every time I come home they are happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She also sends the best photos and videos while I’m away which I always look forward to. My house is always cleaner than when I left it when I return. Paulette is truly wonderful, I am so happy I found her.

Elif is the best! This was the second time we’ve had her check in on our two cats and this was not the last time. She’s a delight, very communicative, and trustworthy. Before we left on our trip, she had a last minute commitment out of town but came to us with the option of a solution already. I really appreciated her finding a solution because she could have also just canceled. She takes her duty seriously and we appreciate her so much!
Tina was WONDERFUL! She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When our cat got sick, Tina came early the next morning to check on him, make sure he was okay, and kept us updated even more than usual. We were so grateful for her care, responsiveness, and attention during a stressful situation. I’m so glad we booked with Tina and would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat!

Isa made our first Rover experience wonderful and seamless! From responsive communication, flexibility of scheduling, to sending us photos/updates during the sitter experience, she went above and beyond for us. We will definitely consider booking her for future help 😊

Christina is fabulous, she helped us watching our cats over the weekend and was very communicative, flexible with timing and went above and beyond for us. She kept us updated throughout the time and send photos of our cats, highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!!

Hello! Audrey was fantastic! My fiancé and I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, they gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our cat, Anakin, felt comfortable and happy with her. We’re so grateful she took the time to stop by and care for him. Highly recommend her!
