“Ana has done a wonderful job getting to know my dog, who can be a little challenging and slow to warm. Ana has been reliable, patient, and attentive to all my instructions. Highly recommend!”


About: I have owned and cared for both dogs and cats, have been around animals all my life, and would love to care for all types of pets! I have a lot of flexibility these days (post-grad life), so I’m willing and able to handle nearly all pet-care needs! *note on availability: I also work part time, and am not able to create an hourly availability in the rover app. Here is when I’m unavailable the following 2 weeks. Any other days not mentioned here, I am available all day!: Tue 6/9: 9-1pm Wed 6/10: 7-4pm Thur 6/11: 8-5pm Sat 6/13: 8-5pm Mon 6/15: 7-4pm Tue 6/16: 7-4pm Wed 6/17: 9-6pm I’m currently enjoying the post-grad school life, and have a lot of free time and flexibility to care for your animals.

“Emily was great with my dog! She took him for a walk and updated me with photos. She had great communication from the time I booked her and overall very happy! 10/10 recommend.”


About: Hi there! You can call me by nick name Alex I’m a dedicated pet lover with over 5 years of fostering and volunteering shelters in Japan. This background taught me how to care for pets of all personalities—from high-energy pups to shy or senior cats. Since I work from home full-time, I offer a level of care that’s hard to find. Whether I’m house-sitting at your place or taking your dog for a walk, your pet will have my constant attention and companionship. Based in Hillcrest, My apartment is just 10 minutes walk from Balboa Park, making it the perfect destination for our outdoor excursions. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and videos, so you can feel 100% confident that your baby is happy, safe, and loved while you're away!" I work from home full-time, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m always around to provide attention, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet will get dedicated 1-on-1 care, constant supervision, and loving companionship all day long. My priority is to maintain a balanced environment while adding a touch of extra fun into their life.

“Caitlin did an amazing job!! She got our pup to walk for a full hour which is such an incredibly huge help! She was so warm when we met her and we can tell from the photos that our babies adore her. Highly recommend!”

“Every dog loves enthusiastic playmates. Phillip fits the description. He is consistently professional, friendly, helpful and always right on time. I need to feel that my older dog is safe when going out walking in our neighborhood, the city. Phillip "brings it", when he comes to see Colette...she feels at home with him and Phillip leaves the pictures to prove it. :-).”

“Tina is awesome! She sent lots of pics and made sure our Pep was happy, safe and fed while we were away. A week away from your dog can be stressful but Tina always kept us updated and did a great job. Thank you Tina!”

“Yasmine did great with Olive! This was my first time using Rover as an owner and Olive’s first interaction with someone outside her family. Yasmine was patient and understanding with Olive when she was unsure and barking at her, I am very grateful for her patience. I am also happy to book her for future walks!”

About: I believe that a happy dog in the home is essential and a precursor to a happy life overall, and I strive to bring the same attentiveness and care that I share with my own pup to any pets I have the privilege of taking care of through my services on Rover. When we meet the basic needs of our precious companions throughout the day, we have more freedom to bond with them, and them with us, and that’s where I come in! I want to help you meet your home pet care needs and goals so you can feel confident that when you come home after a busy day, you are coming home to a dog or a cat that is happy and well taken care of. I want to ensure that your pet’s routines stay intact, that they get plenty of exercise when needed, that they stay safe, and it is a joy to me to provide that service! I work from home, and my day is already built around caring for a dog. Morning walk first thing, breakfast, play, a walk around 5:30 for dinner, evening walk before bed, with attention and rest woven in between. I follow instructions exactly, keep your pet's routine intact, send photo updates, and treat your home and your dog's space the way I'd want someone to treat mine. On walks, I match the pace to the dog, calm dogs get a relaxed walk, energetic ones we stay moving, and I stay attentive to reactivity triggers and adjust accordingly.
“Lilly was fantastic with our husky Rico. She arrived on time, inquired about care and behavior specifics, walked the full duration, provided updates, and followed our directions. We appreciated her support so we could attend other personal needs during the walk. We came back to a happy husky.”

About: Veteran who is an avid rescuer of both cats and dogs. I have been rehabilitating rescued dogs for 12 years and I have had a cat my entire life. I currently volunteer at the San Diego Humane Society as part of their dog team. I specialize in dealing with timid dogs (My own dogs have been from a rescue with behavioral waivers) and helping dogs learn basic obedience procedures (sit, stay, heal, law down) while walking. My passion is helping animals feel safe. On week days, I am available after 5pm and I am available all weekend. I enjoy giving dogs the amount of exercise and stimulation needed to help alleviate stress, loneliness and anxiety. Furthermore, I am more than qualified to clean litter boxes, feed your animals and provide a safe and reliable person within your home. Now that I have returned to office full time, I am not longer unavailable for mid day walks, but I do still welcome the opportunity to walk/feed your pets in my non work hours. I have experience taking care of your animals in your home where there is minimal interruption in their daily routine, no matter how many special instructions need to be followed.

About: My name is Anna! I am a dog lover, owner and walking aficionado. I have spent the majority of my life both around and taking care of animals - from family and friends to my very own, dogs become instant family to me. I enjoy that happy dog smile of outside freedom and will make sure your pup is getting the fresh air, exercise and love they deserve! I'm experienced and confident with dogs of all breeds for games of fetch, long walks to match their energy (fast-paced, mellow, etc.,) administering medicine, to the classic belly scratch they crave. I look forward to meeting your pup and providing a wonderful experience :) I work remotely and have flexibility for all check-ins, neighborhood walks, potty breaks, administering medicine, etc. I am available mornings, midday and evenings to support your dog's needs. I offer the highest level of respect for your home and will ensure your dog picked up after, mail is brought in, if plants need watered, etc.
About: I have been pet sitting ever since I have been a little kid and have never had a dissatisfied pet owner. I love all kinds of animals and can’t wait to take care of yours like my own while you’re away. I work a full time job with a flexible schedule. I will be to adjust my schedule to fit yours and your pets needs. I am available for drop in visits or able to stay at your house. I am usually more available on weekends but can also be available during the week. I prefer jobs in hillcrest or nearby area. I grew up with large and medium size dogs and have been pet sitting for about 14 years. I am very responsible and will take care of your pet like it’s my own.

About: I've had dogs since I was young and have trained all of them personally. I have a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in marine science (focusing on animal behavior). I have experience dog sitting for various breeds and sizes. I'm passionate about giving dogs the best life they can have, with lots of love and positive reinforcement. I love being outside, so I will give your pet plenty of time outside to stretch their legs and get some fresh air! My soul-dog Kano passed in December so I have extra love to give to other animals now. I work mostly remotely and may have to leave for a few hours at a time once in a while, but I can generally give your pet a lot of time and attention with flexible hours. I will make sure to strictly follow any house rules and existing training goals while in the home. Safety and consistency are always a priority.
About: Hi there! I’m Sami — a lifelong dog lover originally from Chicago, now living in San Diego. I currently have a sweet Morkie (Maltese-Yorkie mix) who lives back home with my mom in Chicago. Even though she’s miles away, I miss her every day — so taking care of other people’s pups fills my cup! I have 10+ years of experience watching all different breeds and ages ranges of dogs. If you have any special accommodations I am more than happy to accommodate! I live right between bankers hill and hillcrest area, and my apartment is pet friendly. There are lots of grassy areas nearby, and Balboa park is a 8 minute walk from me so there’s plenty of room for your dog to walk around! I work from home every day except Wednesdays so I can board your dog majority of the week! I live with my partner and we have a 2 bedroom place, so it is the perfect spot for your pup to hang out and will be getting lots of love and attention! I work from home every day except Wednesdays so I can board your dog at my place or come by for walks throughout the day! I also have availability on weekends and try to keep my status updated as much as possible! If I’m in your home, I make sure everything stays clean, cozy, and familiar for your pet. I follow feeding and walk schedules closely, give them lots of love and attention, and send photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. For walks or drop-ins, I make sure they get plenty of fresh air, sniff time, and play — whatever makes them happiest. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved and cared for, and for you to feel totally at ease knowing they’re in good hands. My apartment is close to Balboa Park so I can take them on lots of walks nearby!
About: I am a 30 year old artist living in Hillcrest. I was raised with big dogs in the house and have always been able to communicate well with dogs. Big or small they tend to love me just the same. In the past 5 years I have come to know and learn a lot more about cats and I’ve really grown to love them as well! I honestly just love all animals. I always strive to keep your fur babies comfortable and happy in the space! I am willing to be active with them and always open to some snuggles! Whatever your pup/cat needs, I'm willing to adapt! I am a fun loving personality and am willing to be flexible with my schedule. I am very responsible and people have trusted me with their pets and their children as well! In any situation, I try to be responsive and adapt in the best way possible! I am able to uphold what ever training you have been working on with your pup while you are gone and do my best to discipline them just as you might while also showing praise and love for their obedience! I am mostly available weekdays. The mornings I am most often available for walks. Any house sitting requests I am super open to! I appreciate requests atleast 24 hours in advance so I can plan ahead. I can't have pets in my home because pets aren’t allowed at my new apartment. However, when it comes to house sitting, I have years of experience. I am happy to help with pets, plants, or basic house hold needs while I'm there. You can trust that I will respect your space and help keep an eye on your home while you're away.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since i was an early teen. I’ve trained and kept them healthy and happy. Currently i have two cats and a husky that are very well behaved, non-reactive and happy. I’m a recent uni graduate who loves animals. I love taking care of them and staying active. I’m very easygoing and kind. I put a lot of effort into everything i do. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for dogs to walk around while inside. The house is very pet safe, no choking hazards around. I also live in a safe neighborhood that is perfect for walks, with a couple of parks around for dogs to get their sniffing and running done.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and I love watching them. Also, I’ve had lots of experience with puppies over the past few years and can keep up your training habits while you’re gone! I work in an office normally from 7am-12pm Monday-Friday so typically I can do afternoon and evening services during the week and mornings on the weekends. I used to rover quite a bit in 2024 but took a break in 2025 to travel, just getting back into the routine for 2026. I live in an apartment with no pets! I have a roommate so I prefer drop in visits at your place, but can accommodate if necessary. Typically, I take dogs on multiple longer walks during the day and quick laps around the block at night time.
Midtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Viktorija was the sweetest caregiver I could ask for. Taco was pretty stressed about having a dog walker and she was able to gradually coax him into a comfortable loving place where he trusted her. For a chihuahua to warm up to someone in 4 days is a credit to her gentleness and patience.

Darya was so sensitive and loving with Taco. He was having a tough week with Daddy being away, and she was able to sweetly coax him on his walks each day. This was a great relief to my stress about working late while my husband was out of town. I will certainly be asking for her help in the future.

Mackenzie took amazing care of our sweet Abby! She was professional and responsive. Prior to the weekend, she came over to meet our pup. She also offered to feed her in addition to the walks. Thank you Mackenzie for allowing us to enjoy our time away knowing Abby was in good hands!

Tom was INCREDIBLE with my 2 dogs. He walked them every weekday for 5 weeks straight. He was communicative, punctual, caring, and my dogs always came back well exercised and happy. I highly recommend Tom to anyone who needs dog care in San Diego. He’s the best.

Sarah was amazing with my two pitbulls! She was communicative, reliable, and kept me updated with photos and videos. She took great care of my dogs and made me feel completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. My doggies absolutely loved her, and I could tell they were happy and comfortable with her. I look forward to booking with her again! 🐾💕
