Pet Sitting Mira Mesa

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I am experienced feeding dogs, walking dogs, and administering medication as needed. Additionally, I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to senior dogs. In fact, all of my dogs have been with me since they were puppies. I was so lucky to have my late dog, Lily, was with me from 2 months old until she was just a few months shy of 18 years old. I am most familiar and comfortable with smaller dogs for around the clock care, but I am happy to check in and walk dogs of any size. I work Monday-Fridays on a hybrid schedule. I am remote 3 days a week, 2 days on-site. On days I am not on-site, my availability is flexible and can check-in on dogs 2-3 times during the workday (8AM - 4:30PM) if it's within range. I also don’t work on weekends, so I will be most available then. I will follow any house rules or guidelines left by the clients to ensure their pets and home are well taken care of! I will make sure to accommodate each pet's schedule and attend to what their needs are. Respecting the owner’s & the pet’s routine and space is incredibly important to me.

“We last minute needed a pet sitter as we were going out of town for the weekend, and Michelle picked our request up immediately. She exceeded our expectations, was punctual, and took great care of our kitty Demetrios. She left detailed notes for us and cutest photos from her visit. We will continue booking with Michelle and we recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. Thanks so much Michelle!!”

About: I recently moved here from Utah, where I volunteered at Best Friend’s Animal Society. This gave me experience in handling dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also received training on several different dog handling related topics, including recognizing when dogs are stressed and what they need in those situations. I completed the training and competencies for both beginner and intermediate level dogs at Best Friend’s. I am an absolute dog lover at heart, from a very young age. Apart from volunteering at Best Friend’s, I would also regularly dog sit for different friends and co-workers. I currently work full time as a RN, but my 12 hour shifts give me flexibility to care for pets on my days off during the week and on weekends. I certainly recognize that pets are a part of the family, and promise to treat your dogs as if they were my own. I know that it is not easy to trust a stranger to care for your pets, and I do not take that lightly.

About: Several years ago, my sister and even my mom started dog walking and boarding dogs through Rover. As a result, whenever I was home, I would spend time with these dogs, walking them, playing with them, and even cleaning/bathing them when needed. I would love to help you out when you need it, even if it's for a short walk to get your dog some exercise. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday 8:15 to 5:00PM and can provide pet care after work starting at 5:30PM or on Saturdays (usually very busy on Sundays as well)! I will be aware of where your dog's food, water, treats, toys, etc. are to keep them happy and healthy while they are in my care.

“"Valerie was absolutely amazing with our 16-year-old chihuahua, Rudy, while we were away on vacation. She took the time to pre-visit and meet him, which showed her dedication and care. Rudy is a grumpy old man who’s slow to warm up to new people, but Valerie’s patience and kindness won him over. She kept us informed during her visits, sent pictures, and asked questions as needed, which gave us great peace of mind. She was punctual, attentive, and went above and beyond. We’ll definitely be calling her again next time we leave!"”

“Janet was great, she watched my dog and cat for a long weekend. She fed them, walked them, distributed vitamins, and was very responsive and communicative. Everything was in great shape when I returned. Will be hiring again. Thanks Janet!”

“Jaqueline was amazing!! My boys are very shy, but she got them out to play! I loved all of the photos she sent of them! She kept me updated everyday on how they were doing and also did a few extra things for me, which was super helpful!! I would 100% recommend her!!”

“Rylee was very attentive and loving to our sweet Mollie girl! They instantly bonded with one another and she got Mollie to eat dinner and breakfast while we were away! (Those are major wins hahah)”

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 ☺️

“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”

About: I've been a dog owner for 16 years and enjoy welcoming dogs into our family home. I'm home during the day, so visiting dogs get plenty of attention and flexibility for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and their normal routines. We have a fenced backyard and a friendly dog who is used to having other dogs around. I follow each owner's care instructions and send regular photo updates so you can feel comfortable while you're away. I'm home during the day, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I adjust my routine to each dog's normal schedule and needs. Dogs stay with us as part of our family in a house with a fenced backyard. We have a friendly dog, 2 kids, and a cat, so visiting dogs need to be comfortable in a family environment.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m easygoing, patient, and love giving dogs plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and care. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing! 🐶❤️ I’m currently working as a hairstylist assistant, but I’m able to balance both work and pet sitting. I’m very reliable, responsible, and quick to respond to messages. I understand how important communication is when it comes to caring for your pets, so I’ll always do my best to respond quickly and keep you updated. 😊 When your pup stays with me overnight, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention!!

About: Hi, I’m Naia! I’m originally from Massachusetts and now live in San Diego. I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for family and friends and have experience with pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also had two hamsters of my own, so I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals of all sizes. I also have experience working in a veterinary setting, which gave me the opportunity to be around animals and learn more about caring for them. I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual needs and making sure they receive dependable, attentive care while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. I’m available during the day for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime, and I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I can be flexible with visit times and give each pet the time and care they need. When caring for a pet in their home, I’ll follow the instructions you provide and keep things as familiar as possible for your pet. I’ll make sure they’re fed, have access to water, get their needed potty breaks and walks, and receive any medications as instructed. I’ll also be respectful of your home and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I understand that every pet and household is different, so I’ll always ask questions beforehand if there’s anything I’m unsure about.

About: I grew up around dogs and cats - taking care of them is second nature. Your pet will have a quality stay while their beloved owner is away. I work from home on my own hours so I can accommodate custom schedules with ease! I will create a custom schedule that’s tailored to your pets needs. Your pet will be well taken care of. They will get a restroom break first thing in the morning. There is a wonderful park across the street. They will get pets all day so they don’t get lonely. Your pet will have their own place to stay! I have an extra bedroom and outdoor patio space to accommodate any pet.

About: I have been dog sitting for many years and I also have had dogs of my own and have helped with newborn puppy’s and love being around animals I am currently working but my hours are extremely flexible so I am able to spend time in the morning and afternoon/ evening with your pets so they feel as comfortable as possible I know it’s hard for animals to understand why their parents left so making sure they feel comfortable and aren’t nervous is my top priority whether that is doing all their favorite things or simply by getting hugs and attention all the time

About: Hi! I’m Anastasia - lifelong animal lover, cat mom, and the person who will absolutely send you way too many pictures of your pet. 🤍 I grew up with cats and two dogs, and I miss having dogs around all the time. So Rover feels like the perfect excuse to make some new furry friends. As a pet owner myself, I know how weirdly stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new. My cat Dylan is basically my child, so I get it. When I care for your pet, my goal is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible and care for them the way you would. ✓ Lots of love, attention & playtime ✓ Walks at your pet’s usual pace ✓ Following feeding instructions carefully ✓ Respecting routines, quirks & boundaries ✓ Plenty of photo/video updates ✓ Treating your home with respect Whether your pet is super social, shy, dramatic, energetic, or just wants someone nearby while they nap, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I want you to be able to leave knowing your little (or very large) best friend is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I have a pretty flexible routine! I work from home three days a week, so I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, and company. On my office days, I usually come home during lunch, which gives me another chance to check in and get outside. I’m also a big homebody but love being outdoors - weekends usually involve walks, fresh air, and spending time outside. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and keep their routine feeling as normal as possible while you’re away. I always follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I keep a close eye on them and follow any instructions you provide.

About: I have been a pet lover my whole life. From walking friends dogs to volunteering at the animal shelter, my love for caring for animals has remained strong. Also, over the past three years, I've had the joy of raising my family's beloved German Shepherd from an eight-week-old puppy into a well-mannered and wonderful dog. This experience has honed my dog walking and training skills, ensuring that I can provide the best care and attention to your pet. Additionally, as the primary caretaker of my eight-year-old cat, I've gained further valuable experience in pet care. Your pets are truly in the best hands with me, as I treat all animals with the same love and respect as my own! I’m currently a grad student so my schedule revolves around my classes but I’m generally free early mornings and evenings on weekdays and all-day weekends! I’ve walked dogs of all sizes, including my own 100+ pound pup, so I know how to stay calm and in control in any situation. I make sure all gear is secure before each walk and always stay aware of our environment, avoiding potential hazards like traffic, unfamiliar animals, or extreme weather. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I have cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I have always been concerned about their safety, love and overall happiness. I take in any animal I can and I would adopt the whole shelter if I was able to. Animals are apart of our families and I wouldn’t want it any other way I am currently taking a break from the corporate world. I have lots of free time to spend with your pups. I am available for walks, play dates, or just cuddles if that’s what they need. I try to keep the routine as intact as possible. I know it’s stressful on pups to have new people in their space so I make sure there is lots of positive reinforcements and that the pup is comfortable before anything else
