“We had a great experience with Vivian! She kept us updated throughout the drop in visits, which gave us peace of mind. She took great care of our dog, and it was clear he was well looked after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our second time booking with Tiffany and she was amazing with our kitty Miso. She sent very detailed summaries/picturez about her visits and was very in tune with how miso was feeling. She left our place very clean and went above and beyond for our girl. We hate leaving Miso at home, but knowing Tiffany will be there to check on her always makes us feel so at ease.”
About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, companionship, and maintaining the routines pets are accustomed to at home. I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions and prioritize safety, consistency, and communication. Whether I’m caring for an energetic dog who needs plenty of exercise or a more relaxed pet who prefers cuddles and companionship, I adjust my care to help each pet feel happy and comfortable. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own. ❤️ Hi! I’m Samantha, a full-time pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. I’m dependable, trustworthy, patient, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Being a full-time pet sitter gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I offer boarding, dog walking, and in-home pet care on both weekdays and weekends. For pets staying with me, I have a clean, quiet, and pet-friendly apartment with plenty of outdoor space nearby for walks, exercise, and playtime. My goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming environment where your pet can feel right at home—and where you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. 🐾 I am happy to provide care in the comfort of your own home. Otherwise, I live in a very safe, quiet, and pet-friendly apartment with plenty of outdoor space to play and walk. I am very reliable, and understand the importance of a safe and healthy routine for pet safety and comfort.
About: Hello my name is Lisa and I have 10 years of trusted pet sitting experience! I currently live in Mira Mesa and love staying active to ensure your furry friends are thoroughly entertained, exercised, and loved. Whether I'm house sitting, dropping by for a visit, or taking your dog for a walk, safety comes first, and having a fun, stress-free day is always the goal. My Mira Mesa home base is centrally located near great local parks and walking trails, perfect for keeping your pups engaged and happy. I offer total peace of mind by providing regular photo and short video updates throughout my time with your pet, so you always know how they're doing. I pride myself on providing attentive, top-tier care tailored to your dog’s specific routine, energy level, and needs. If you’re looking for reliable, loving, and quality care at affordable prices, I’m excited to be your go-to neighborhood pet sitter! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. **For house sitting requests, please reach out at a minimum of 1 week in advance. I am unable to accommodate last minute requests as I always schedule meet-and-greets with you and your pets to ensure I am a good fit for you and their needs.** Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my schedule, thanks to its flexibility. Whether it's weekdays, weekends, or even during lunch breaks, I'm here to ensure your pet gets the attention they need without causing any inconvenience to you. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's place, I focus on meeting the individual needs of each furry friend. Whether it's creating a cozy atmosphere, sticking to feeding routines, giving medications, or providing plenty of play and cuddle time, I adapt my care to suit their preferences. Plus, I'm diligent about jotting down all the important details to ensure open communication and consistency with pet owners.
“Michelle is great! I was looking for someone nearby who had morning flexibility to let my fur baby out and get breakfast while I was at work, and she was responsive and we set up a meet and greet right away. I appreciate that, so the dog and sitter can meet first. She sent photos and Riley 🐕 liked her- I could tell! Thanks Michelle!”
“Jaime is very patient with my nervous pups and lets them set the pace to get to know her. Didn’t take long for them to be excited to see her. Jaime is also very communicative, responsive and reliable. Appreciate her!”
“Cristal was incredible!! My sweet boy warmed up to her very quickly and I could tell he had the best time! I highly recommend her to anyone if they want the best care for their fur babies!!”
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've worked at doggy daycares in the past, I've taken care of multiple friends' pets before, and I had the absolute pleasure of raising my own dog from a puppy until her death at the age of 13. I work a full-time 8-5 job, but I love taking care of pets after work, during my breaks, or on the weekends. On weekends and after work, I will stay for as long as you wish me to. I always make sure to ask what the pets favorite toys are, their feeding schedule, any medications they need, and if they have a walking schedule. I make sure to take them out to use the bathroom as frequently as possible, and make sure that they have plenty of water.
About: I’ve been volunteering with the Humane Society since 2021, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for and working with animals of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I also have a senior dog at home, and previously cared for another senior dog, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that older dogs may require. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a recent high school graduate and will be starting at UC San Diego in the fall. For the summer, I have full availability and a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and other pet-care needs throughout the week. Once school starts, my availability will become more limited, but I’ll do my best to maintain a consistent schedule and work around your needs. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to learn each animal’s personality, routines, and individual needs, and I always follow their owner’s instructions closely. I’m patient with animals who may be nervous or need extra time to warm up, and I keep a close eye on them during walks and visits. My experience volunteering with the Humane Society has taught me the importance of responsible, attentive animal care, and I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own.
About: I've taken care of dogs of many kinds for about 10-12 years now! I've taken a course on training dogs through Dog Academy, so I have a bit of experience with training younger pups! I'm pretty available most days, I'm doing college classes online so my schedule is open! I share a car with my husband however, so sometimes I am only available after 3 pm if he doesn't work from home I always make sure to keep pets from running through the door when I arrive at the client's house. When walking dog's I correct any harsh pulling so their throat doesn't get damaged. I always keep an eye and an ear out for any unusual behavior or sounds!
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
“We really appreciate the peace of mind Jake provided for us, by ensuring Kenya was well taken care of while we went out to play. He arrived on time, followed all of our protocols for feeding time and took her for a nice long walk. He added a bit of bonus play after they returned and then put her safely back in her crate. He even left a light on in the kitchen for her so she wouldn't have to sleep in the dark. LOL And he sent us photos of each step along the way. We will definitely reach out to him when we have the need again.”
“Thank you for your persistence when our electronic door lock glitched! Appreciate the extra effort on reaching out and working to resolve the problem. Big thanks from our four legged family member!”
About: I've taken care of pets in New Zealand, Australia and the USA. I am a very calm presence, with equally positive and engaging energy. I work from home so I can be attentive and available to you! I work full time remotely, and spend some of my spare time coaching field hockey. Spending time with little loves while I'm on work calls is a perfect way to spend a day! Taking a break for snuggles, and getting outside for fresh air and sunshine; two of my favourite things! I have over a decade of house and pet sitting experience. I have worked with people from all over the world who travel and need care for their pets. I have worked in several different industries and have a gift for engaging and connecting with people from all walks of life.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Miramar
Michelle was a lifesaver tonight! I needed a last-minute drop-in while I was stuck at work, and she came through with no hesitation. She let Sadie out, took great care of her. Reliable, responsive, and clearly loves dogs. I'd book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!
Julia was amazing with our puppy! 🤗 She made sure to ask us which commands and behaviors we wanted her to reinforce, which we really appreciated. She was also incredibly patient with her, especially with all of that puppy energy! We felt very comfortable having our pup in her care and would definitely recommend her.
We are SO thankful we found Valerie! 🥹 We reached out to her super last minute and she was kind enough to accommodate us the very next day. She even came over the night before around 7pm just to meet us and Prince and make sure everyone felt comfortable before his first visit. During her visit, she went above and beyond. She fed Prince by hand (cause our little guy is so extra sometimes), cleaned up his potty pads (and always wiped his little bum), and even stayed and played with him for two whole hours! 🥹🐶 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that he wasn’t just being checked on, but was actually getting the same attention, playtime, and love while we were away. We’re incredibly grateful for how caring, accommodating, flexible, and attentive Valerie has been, especially on such short notice. As fellow nurses, we also really appreciate how dependable and caring she is. We already feel so comfortable having her care for our little guy and would absolutely recommend her! 🤍
We were in a tough spot needing care at the last minute, and Rayan was willing to help. He took the time to come meet our dogs before we left, which I really appreciated. We have two dogs that require a little extra patience—one is reactive to other dogs, and the other still struggles with leash manners—so we know they’re not the easiest pets to watch. It’s always a little nerve-wracking explaining their challenges to someone new, but Rayan was very laid back about it and didn’t seem intimidated. It was reassuring to know they had someone looking after them while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
