About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for multiple pets, including helping with feeding routines, walks, play, medications when needed, and creating a calm, safe environment for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important consistency and trust are when someone is leaving their pet in another person’s care. My schedule is very flexible since I work and attend school online from home. That allows me to be present with pets throughout the day and provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with a secure enclosed yard and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I currently have a friendly cat and create a safe, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and truly consider pets to be part of the family. Growing up, I cared for our family dog (Shadow) and several cats (Sarah, Barney, Mishu, Josie). During college in New York, I had my own dog (Zazu), and I currently have a cat (Nicolette) in San Diego. Living with both dogs and cats has given me experience with their different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and affection, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I'll care for them with the same attention and kindness I give my own. Until recently, I worked as a school teacher, where I learned to be dependable, patient, and attentive to the needs of others. Since I'm currently between jobs, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, individualized care for your pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I'm available throughout the week and can adapt to your pet's routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I'll do my best to care for them the way you do. I'll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or other routines to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll clean up after myself, leave your home just as I found it, and make sure everything is tidy before I leave. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that feels exactly as you left it.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and caring for animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets at all times. I have a fenced yard and always pay close attention during walks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets are comfortable and secure. I also understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each owner’s routine and instructions.

“Jessica was a great sitter! Always sending pictures and updates when she stopped by and was very flexible with the key drop off. Pickles actually came out to hang with her when she stopped by, which is huge, so I know she was very loving with her. Would absolutely book Jessica again and recommend her for any cat sitting!”

About: Hi! I’ve been dog and cat sitting for family & friends for quite a few years now. I have always loved animals, and have two kitties and 1 dog of my own now. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages & sizes. I am experienced with administering medication to your animal(s). I grew up with a diabetic dog that required Injections and I am also a Registered Nurse. I’m open to pet sitting, walking, drop ins, and house sitting. Feel free to reach out if you want any additional information or have questions! I am currently waiting on my security clearance for a job at the VA, so my schedule is completely free. If you do not see your desired date or time, send me a message and I’m sure we can work something out! Whenever I would have to be in someone else’s home I would treat it with the utmost respect. I will ask for additional information on your pets so I can base my care on what they are already used to. My cats have a very specific routine, so I know how important it can be!

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior pups who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic puppy training, including potty and crate routines, leash manners, and basic commands, and I’m happy to follow whatever training methods you use at home. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs and understand the importance of adjusting walks, playtime, and daily routines to their individual mobility, energy level, and needs. I’m experienced in caring for multiple pets at once and managing different personalities, feeding schedules, walks, and routines. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else; they’re part of the family and I’ll always treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’m currently training and teaching jiu jitsu classes which allows me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. Im able to build my schedule around your pets specific needs or energy levels and love going for little adventures to the park, beach, or where ever your pets favorite spot is! I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m clean, tidy, and mindful of your space while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their normal routine. For overnight or multi-night stays, my dog Lola does need to accompany me. She is a sweet, senior Rat Terrier who is accustomed to being around other pets. I typically provide daily photos and updates but am happy to provide whatever makes you comfortable in knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Vanessa was great! My cat tends to be skittish and kind of unwelcoming but he seemed to take to her super well. Appreciate all the extra effort playing and spending time with him.”

“Annie was an amazing person to take care of my dog. Annie was very responsive and letting me know when they were available as well as all the updates. I needed to know that my dog was taken care of. When my dog was injured, I had special circumstances that Annie needed to follow and she did so With a positive attitude. I would recommend any for any pet parent.”

Marqui L.

“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!!”

About: I grew up on a ranch in central Texas, where I encountered a wide range of different animals that often at times had different special or complex medical needs. This experience shaped me into the person I am today, who is kind, caring and always wanting to help out those in need.

From drop in visits to enrichment walks, I've got you and your furry family members. We will come up with a solid plan for care, go over expectations, and what support feels best to your furry family member.

I have availability in the early mornings and late afternoons along with all day availability usually on the weekends. Please reach out for more information and to see if our schedules align. In my home, I have several different water sources for all of my animals, including a stainless steel filtered water fountain their food bowls get washed on the daily you given all the treats they could want along with research back supplements and high-quality food. I also make sure that each Animals individual needs are met whether that be needing to eat in another room needing some company while it’s meal time getting a belly rub or simply a cuddle after a long day.

“Kalista was wonderful! I was so nervous leaving my cats and using Rover for the first time, but Kalista was so great and I was able to focus on my work trip and not worry.”

“Armando is awesome! From the time we made contact, communication was great. My cat, Buddy, really enjoyed his time, and we are very grateful for Armando's commitment to Buddy's health and to the safety of our home. The first couple of days Buddy wasn't feeling well -- Armando and I reviewed the symptoms, made adjustments to food and medication, and within 24 hours we had turned a good corner! I got photos, activity reports, and we had a few phone calls at my request to make sure Armando had what he needed to keep my spoiled kitty happy :-). Thank You Armando!”

About: Hi! I’m Hanna. I am a responsible and attentive animal lover who truly cares about your pet’s wellbeing and happiness. When I was a child, I had a golden retriever puppy named Rollie, who I adored. As Rollie aged, I learned to be particularly gentle and attentive to her. Because of that experience, I feel comfortable taking care of older dogs. On the other side of the spectrum, I am also comfortable taking care of puppies! After Rollie passed, I adopted an energetic and quirky puppy from the local humane society and we shared 12 beautiful years together. I have also cared for neighbors’ pets, past roommates’ pets, and other clients’ pets for more than a decade. I have even used pet sitting platforms while traveling abroad to have some creature comfort/ extra spending money. I do not currently have any pets due to my lease so I find rover to be a very mutually beneficial platform ;) I strive to provide excellent care all around and it would be an honor to be trusted in caring for your best friend. Thank you for the consideration. My schedule looks very different day by day and even week to week but my flexibility allows me to be versatile in caring for your critters. I always make sure to keep an attentive a watchful eye over the pets in my care. I make sure to send lots of updates and pictures via text!

“Rachel took amazing care of our kittens while we were out of town! She gave us detailed updates and I felt confident they were in good hands. Our cats love her!”

“Simply the best!”

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️‍🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈‍⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available. (I understand sometimes things happen last minute and you need a trustworthy person to step in and care for your pet).

About: Took some time off Rover but I am back and so excited to be back! My whole life I grew up with dogs, very big dog lover. I live right by many dog parks and trails & I have my own car so I am able to get to places on time and safely. I like going out and exploring new trails and parks, so your dog would never get bored of staying in. Your dog will get full attention, belly rubs, fetching games, and will be very good taken care of! I will watch your dog and take care of your dog like if they were my own. If your dog and I are a great match than I am always willing to do a re-book! I am currently full time with Rover so I am available weekdays and weekends. Which is really nice because this allows me to give your pet the full care and attention they need. For in-home boarding, I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment. They get plenty of attention, exercise, and follow their regular feeding and medication schedules. For visits to a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also keep clients updated with messages and photos to ensure peace of mind.
