About: I have over 15 years experience in both dog and cat sitting, including some dogs in their golden years. I have four feline friends myself and understand they usually require a little extra love and patience to feel comfortable. I am available for daily walks and up to twice per day for feedings and check ins. I have more extended time for interactive attention on weekends and Mondays. As an in-home sitter, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable in your absence by sticking to the routine they’re familiar with. For walks I would love to know of any particular routes they enjoy to keep them happy and to give you peace of mind about their outdoor adventures. I am open to finding whatever works best for your pet- you’re the expert on their care ☺️

About: I am half way done with my schooling to become a veterinarian and have had 7 years working with animals in a professional setting. My experience and skills can come in handy if your pets need more help (medications, fluids, insulin etc). I also have 2 cats with heart issues myself so I am very familiar with handling special needs pets! I am currently on summer break from veterinary school which allows me to have a lot of free time to go and check in on your pets when needed. I currently don’t offer care for pets in my home but in emergency cases, I can easily crate your pet if needed and if your pet is crate trained.
About: Dog owner I have a 7 year old dog that gets along with other dogs. Also 2 young kids so pup has to be good with kids. I am home so will be able to walk and feed dogs as frequently as necessary. I typically walk my dog 1x / day . I walk and feed the pets and the kids like to interact with the dogs too. We have a fenced in backyard that dogs love to play in.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog and cat lover who treats every pet like family. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away, and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide. I have experience caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting belly rubs or sleeping at his favorite corner, I make sure they get the attention and routine they’re used to. Safety and communication are very important to me. I always follow your pet’s specific instructions and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your dog or cat and become someone you can trust whenever you need help with pet care! Im currently home all day and have free time to take care of your pet at my place or yours as well as going for walks around the house. I have a small indoor dog so to stay here we would need to know if they get along, she is very playful and friendly.

About: I have been a dog owner of 2 very happy and healthy dogs for nearly 2 decades now. During that time I have moved away from home so I care for my dogs part-time throughout the year. Since moving away I have cared for friends' cats and dogs. It's a joke with my friends that I have a superpower of being likable to any animal as I am able to gain trust with even the most stubborn and fearful of pets. If you leave your pet with me, they are guaranteed to be in great, loving hands as well as watchful eyes because I know how it feels when your pet is out of sight. The times that I have pet sat for friends I always send them picture/video updates throughout the day that were very much appreciated and reassuring. I currently work a hybrid schedule that allows me to WFH two days of the week so I can commit to pet care full time those two days as well as the weekends. I have a fenced yard for dogs to roam free as well as a nearby park to take any fur baby for a walk. Of course my care is adaptable and can be tailored for example if you prefer your pet to be crated most of the day or if you have a specific feeding pattern for your pet. I also have a spare bedroom that is completely empty where I personally keep my pets in whenever I need to leave the house for a quick errand. It has a furbo camera so they can be supervised even when I'm away.
About: **First of all, I only take care of one pet at a time, because I want to provide all of my attention to the pet. Secondly, I recently adopted a puppy, so I will take care of your pet while training my dog. My dog is a Cavapoo, he is very enthusiastic and can get along well with all dogs and cats, so you can bring your dog to my home without any worries. I believe they will become good friends!** Hi, I am Yage, I just graduated from UC Berkeley in May and moved back to San Diego. I am currently pursuing a master’s degree at MICA, and luckily, it’s a 100% online program. So I spend most of my time at home, and my schedule is very flexible, giving me plenty of time to take care of your furry friends. In addition, I am also an artist running a handmade online shop. I am not doing Rover sitting for income; I joined simply because I genuinely love taking care of dogs and cats! I’ve been passionate about dogs since I got my first golden retriever, Coco, when I was 20. I raised her from just 2 months old and trained her to do fun tricks like shaking paws and even distinguishing between her left and right paw! Coco's most impressive skill was playing dead whenever I mimicked a “bang bang” motion with my hand — she’d drop to the floor and stay still. She was healthy and happy for 14 wonderful years before passing away this March due to old age. I’ve always loved dogs and cat, while I’m not ready for a new one just yet, I often care for my friends' dogs, including corgis, Pomeranians, and labradors. I treat every dog I look after as if they were my own, ensuring they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. As a freelancer and owner of a handmade art shop, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to care for pets throughout the day. I can easily adjust my routine to ensure that pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care, making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. My home is pet-free, so your pet will have a calm and clean environment to stay in. We maintain a tidy and safe space, making it an ideal place for your pet to feel comfortable. Our neighborhood has a large grassy area where many dogs enjoy playing, giving your pet plenty of space for walks and outdoor fun. Plus, our pet-friendly apartment ensures that your pet will be welcome and well cared for during their stay.
“Jeremiah was great. Connected easily with my girls. Listened well and repeated the instructions I shared. Was gentle but also strong with his handling of my 108 lb dog who can easily pull. Will ask him back. Thank you”

“Hien took great care of my dog for two weeks of drop-in visits! She also fed my fish every day upon request and took wonderful pictures for each drop-in. Effective communication and great service!”

About: My name is Christina and would love to help take care of your dog. I have summer breaks and work earlier in the day. I love dogs and have taken care of dogs and pups for years. In addition, I have my own dogs and I absolutely love them, their names are Elsa (8) and Rubble (6). Both of our dogs are rescues. I love animals and grew up with animals taking care of them and taking long walks. If you are on vacation, I am someone you can rely on and will send pictures or any updates needed during the day. During the year, I do work full time but can walk dogs during the evening. My cellphone is the best way to reach me and ask for availability over the summer (call or text). Please do not hesitate to ask if there is anything you need or have questions about the rates I have provided. During my usual work week I get up pretty early around 5:30am at the latest, and then get out of work at 3:30pm-4:30pm. The weekends I am pretty flexible on times I can come in to help with dog sitting and/or dog walking. Over the summer I have the most time to dedicate to help care for your pup, longer walks, and I can focus more on training. I have a backyard and plenty of treats, leashes, etc. Since I am a dog owner myself I also have an extra crate if needed. In my own home, my pets sleep in our bed and both of our dogs have gone through dog training, so they know basic commands such as sit, down, high five, touch, and leave it just to name a few. I understand that everyone's family is different and I respect that. Any rules you have implemented for your own pups or medication you need given I will help out with that and make sure the dog has the best care. I understand especially with feeding schedules and medication piece because our youngest pup recently went through heartworm treatments (and now heartworm neg thank goodness!). I feel like our dogs are my family members and will make sure they have the best love and care. There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog!

About: I have been working at a pet store for 2 years and a pet hotel for 1. Many friends and family ask me to watch their pets and reptiles too. I am currently unemployed so i will have a lot of free time until August. I don’t have many activities other than some soccer and softball to stay active. But help keep my stamina up for long walks. I am very respectful of people’s personal belongings. I believe in security and open communication between pet parents. I am here to serve your pet and your pet deserves my full attention in my care.
“Bella was great with my pup!! Communicative, timely, and very kind. They even were able to accommodate a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure my pup was comfortable. Will certainly book again!”


“I have two dogs (45lb and 60lb) and a cat. I was nervous because this was my first time using any sitters from Rover but Michelle did such an amazing job! Super communicative before and during. One of my dogs is super anxious and shy so I didn’t think he’d even go near her, but he not only seemed comfortable but even let her leash him and take them both for walks! Super glad i trusted her and would book again :)”

“So great with my Groot. Even when he got sick she cared so much for him and gave him what he needed. Communication was outstanding. I would love to have her again if I have to travel.”

Mira Mesa pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kiana’s communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She kept me updated and answered my messages quickly. I am grateful for the care and support she provided during a very stressful emergency when a nearby fire required evacuation of our home when I was away. Kiana quickly evacuated my cats and helped ensure they were safe and well cared for. It shows that she genuinely cares about animals. I highly recommend her!

Min was fantastic with our cat Nyx. Our cat is usually very shy but Min was able to bring her out of her shell and really bond with her. She was very punctual and was very lovely with Nyx, she played with her and took care of her really well. You wouldn’t go wrong if you pick her to take care of your fur babies.

Avery was amazing! I booked her for my newly adopted cat, and additionally it was my first time leaving her alone, and Avery's patience with her shyness and fear was truly amazing. She got her to open up and come out of her shell, which I didn't think would happen, and took care of her in exactly the way I asked. Truly couldn't have been a better experience. Highly recommend!

Steve was an excellent cat sitter; responsible, communicative, and very attentive throughout. He followed directions carefully, kept me updated, and made me feel confident that my cats were in great hands. I really appreciated how reliable and thoughtful he was, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
