Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Marina

“Crystal is seriously amazing! She took care of my cats for 2 weeks while I was away and I felt so at ease knowing they were in her care. She clearly cares a lot about animals - she always took the time to play with both cats and gave them lots of pets 😊 Both my cats need daily meds as well and she was able to administer them no problem. She's also super communicative and gave great updates at every visit. She even watered some of my plants! I've used other Rover sitters before but no one has compared to Crystal. Definitely don't hesitate to book her!!”

“Christine was super nice, my cat trusted her immediately! She provided routine updates and I knew I could rely on her. Would definitely book with her again :)”

“I booked Aleksandra for two drop ins. Arranging key drop off was easy. She followed directions well and made sure my auto cat feeders and fountain were working. She also gave my clingy elderly cat a cuddle! She even got an action shot of my skittish young cat, I didn’t expect her to even see him lol. Would book again.”

“Nicholas took fantastic care of Pete! He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures. We appreciate the time he took to play with him while we were out of town.”

About: Hi there! I’m new to pet sitting on Rover, but I’ve been a lifelong dog lover! I’ve had my own Pomeranian names Simba for 10 years, so I know how special our furry friends are. Right now, I’m looking for a job, so I have lots of free time to give your pup the attention they deserve! I offer dog walking and daytime at-home sitting in Downtown and nearby areas, so your dog will have a buddy all day. I’m excited to meet your pup and keep them safe, happy, and active! Requested information about your pet I just ask to let me know in advance what NOT to do/say with your pet. For example, my Pomeranian gets crazy zoomies if you say ‘who’s there?’, he rushes to my front door, spins and bark and it till he will not get absolutely tired. I would also like to know all important details about your pet friendliness with other animals and humans, their health and of course your preferred Pet Hospital. I’m currently actively looking for a remote job in Tech so I have all the time in the world to spend quality time with you fluffy friend. As I have my own pup waiting for me at home, I am looking for more standard working hours I’m not able to host pets at my home, but I’m more than happy to stay at your place for multiple hours during the day. I’ll follow all your pet’s routines, instructions, and any safety measures you have in place. Just let me know your preferences, and I’ll make sure I follow them closely!

About: We travel a lot, which excludes us from having a dog, but we'd love to have a dog! We just can't make it work with our schedule, but we'd love to be with your pet, just as we've taken care of others'. We have an enclosed balcony and a large park nearby along with full run of the indoor living areas, and one of us would be home at all times, so needy dogs are ok. We'll give him or her lots of love, walking, and greenery as he/she needs and you'd want. We've taken care of several friends' dogs and cats at their homes and ours and thought we'd expand the circle to include anyone else. The husband has had dogs in the past, so we're no strangers to the care required, whether that's particular food, medication, grooming, etc. Just let us know what your pet needs! Jerry is retired and Silke works part time Mon/Tue/Fri and Wednesday mornings but am typically off too when we watch a dog. We love taking your dog on walks, play and snuggle. When we watch a dog, we plan our day with your dog! We have a 2 story loft condo with a balcony. The condo is right next to Pantoja Park, easy for potty breaks. We love going on walks, play and snuggle and consider ourselves party aunt and uncle to the dog we watch, meaning we are very attentive and intuitive what your dog needs.

“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Dexter! She was very attentive, kept us updated with amazing videos, and made sure Dexter had plenty of playtime and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about him, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Poodle mix, so I know firsthand how nerve wracking it is to hand your dog off to someone you don't know. I get it! I'm not just a sitter, I'm a dog owner who actually understands what you're trusting someone with. And as a Great Dane owner, giant breeds and big personalities are my comfort zone. No size is going to phase me! I run my own creative business, so my schedule is genuinely flexible in a way that most sitters can't offer. No 9 to 5 I'm working around. I can typically accommodate drop ins and walks at times that actually work for you, not just whatever's left in my day. I'm the dog mom who leaves a five page document for my own sitters, so trust me, no request is too silly. Special feeding routine? Weird little habit your dog has that you think "how will I explain this to the dog sitter"? I want to know. I'll follow it. And I always send photo updates so you're not just sitting there wondering how your pup is doing.

“Darya was AMAZING watching our kitten over the holidays. She calmed any worry we had with her amazing service, quick communication, attention to detail, and all the pictures of our girl :) we will absolutely book her for future visits! Your animal is in great hands with Darya.”

About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

About: I treat every pet like my own, giving them the same love, care and patience I give my own pup. Plus my job allows me to have an endless supply of treats and toys for every need. I currently work at a pet ret retail company headquartered in San Diego! This allows me to have a pet friendly work place and also the flexibility of working from home if needed. I have a very nice and playful mini Aussie that loves company and is always willing to go on walks or play around at home.

“Lara was absolutely AMAZING with my kitties Remy and trixie! They loved her and she was constantly in contact with me and sent me so many pictures! I will definitely be using her again?”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have three years of professional experience working at a dog daycare facility. In that role, I’ve been trained in pack walks, structured solo walks, enrichment activities, and a wide range of services related to daycare and overnight care. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment for both dogs and their owners. I’ve also been trained by professional dog trainers and earned in-house certifications in areas such as managing aggressive behavior, separation anxiety, canine behavior, and basic dog health and symptom recognition. Additionally, I have experience managing large groups of 10 or more dogs of varying sizes and breeds. I work with dogs every day and bring my own two, Lucky and Lainie, with me to work. While my schedule is consistent throughout the week, I’m able to offer some flexibility and I'm currently most available on Sundays and Mondays. At this time, I’m unable to host clients’ pets in my home or stay at their home. I hope to offer this options in the future and appreciate your understanding.

About: I grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, which gave me a deep, lifelong understanding of pet behavior. For the past four years, I have provided reliable pet care for friends, family, and neighbors and more recently I’ve received glowing 5-star reviews on Trusted House Sitters. Whether it is keeping up with an energetic puppy, giving a senior cat their space, or sticking to a precise feeding schedule, I adapt quickly to what makes your pet feel most comfortable. I treat every animal with the patience, respect, and love they deserve! I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I easily plan my routine around feeding schedules, required medication times, and daily exercise needs. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, patient companionship, or strict adherence to a medication routine, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment so you can travel or work with absolute peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your beloved furry family members!

“Petunia took such a great care of our kitty Cece . She is communicative and reliable. Exceeded our expectations. 10/10 - will definitely use Petunia again in the future.”

About: Hi, I'm Halle! I live in downtown SD with my roommate. We currently have a 20lb dog at home who I help take care of. I've had all kinds of pets growing up from rodents to birds! As a small woman, I prefer small to medium sized dogs (under 40lbs) that I can physically handle in case they are leash pullers. I am open to taking care of larger dogs if they are more mellow. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I prefer to walk dogs in the downtown area since I live right here but will travel farther for a longer house sitting job. If housesitting, I can be with your pets most of the day. Every pet has different needs and personalities. I do my best to keep their routine consistent and familiar so they feel safe and calm while their family is away. I am open to accommodating whatever preferences you and your pet may have!

About: I have had many dogs and help take care of many dogs. I have never had a problem and dogs are always happy with me. Respectfully will only watch dogs that are friendly, loving, and not aggressive. I work full time from home so can be with your dog all day :) happy to walk them and play with them through out the day. They wouldn’t have to be locked up all day. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too

“Kaitlyn was extremely communicative, punctual, kind, good-humored, and got along very well with my cat. My cat seemed well cared for when I got back from my two week trip and everything was tidy and in its place. I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kaitlyn!”

Mike V.

“She is the best rover we’ve ever had. Extremely communicative, can problem solve, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with the animals. Highly recommend!!”
