“Lilly is wonderful. She has a passion for dogs and it shows. She is always on time and my dogs love her. I highly recommend her for any pet services. Thank you Lilly! We are so glad we found you.”


“Brandon was awesome with my dog while I was out of town. Super easy to work with and really great at staying in touch. He kept me updated the whole time. My dog was happy and well taken care of. I’d definitely book him again.”


“Kelly is Rios‘s new favorite person! She, of course, I was a great communicator and used the app to show us their walk path and send pictures, which we appreciated! Rio was always very happy to see her – even recognized her car when it pulled in the driveway it he would get super excited! Everything was great, except I was afraid that Rio would not want his mother – me! – To return and start walking him, because Kelly would take him on runs! Great for Rio, but after a heal injury, I am unable to do that for him. We may just have to hire her for a weekly run for Rio, going forward. Kelly is a wonderful person and clearly a dedicated dog walker - or runner, if need be! We would not hesitate to recommend her - or use her again, if the need arises!”


“I was nervous about leaving my one year old Golden but Ashley was great! After meeting Ashley in person, I felt confident that she was dependable and would come daily (for 11 days!) to walk my sweet dog and give her the love she might be missing while I was away. Thanks so much, Ashley!!!!”


About: I've grown up around animals and have been caring for pets most of my life. From feeding, walking, and playing, to giving medication and keeping routines consistent, I’ve looked after both my own pets and those of family and friends. While I’m new to Rover, I take pet care seriously and treat every animal like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy. Pet care fits into my weekly routine with plenty of flexibility. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with the exception of Mondays and Wednesdays due to class. My schedule may vary slightly week to week, as I occasionally travel out of town to visit family, but I always communicate my availability in advance. I’m committed to providing consistent, reliable care and making sure your pet’s needs come first. I offer pet care in the client’s home to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely when it comes to routines, feeding, exercise, and safety. I take time to build trust with each pet, going at their pace and keeping their space clean, calm, and stress-free. I also respect the client’s home by treating it with care, maintaining cleanliness, and always being mindful of privacy and security.

About: I’ve helped care for 4 family dogs from puppy to elderly, from highly energetic to sick & in need of special attention, I can do it all. I work remotely so my schedule is primarily flexible. I can do mid-day or afternoons around 3-6pm & I can also do weekends if needed. I have a friendly golden to keep your pup company if needed. I live in a nice quiet neighborhood close to a dog park as well.

“Jim is always so wonderful with Lazarus! He sends photos of their journeys which makes me so happy to see. Jim provides Lazarus with the exercise and care he needs for his anxiety. We are grateful to have Jim as a caregiver!”

About: Hi I’m Juliana! I have my own dog and have cared for many others, from the easygoing to the more challenging ones. I'm experienced in administering medications and comfortable handling dogs with behavioral quirks, including reactivity and aggression. Whether your pup needs a calm walk, specific care, or just someone who truly understands them, I'm here to help. I treat every dog like my own, ensuring they're safe, happy, and well-cared for. I am currently finishing up my last semester of grad school and have a very light course load. I am available most of the day Monday through Friday! I am flexible and don’t mind taking on last minute walks. I am also available as needed on weekends too :) I have experience dealing with special diets, meds, and aggressive behaviors. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of

“Just moved to San Diego and Rachel walked Remi the first day I left her in the new house. She is extremely patient and took the extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable. She gave great updates and is reliable. Will definitely use Rachel again!”


About: With over 10 years of experience in pet care, I specialize in overnight stays, daily walks, and comprehensive house care. I’ve cared for a diverse range of dogs, from puppies to seniors, ensuring each receives the attention they need. As an active individual, I’m all about being outdoors and enjoy long hikes and early morning walks, making sure your pets stay happy and healthy while you're away. I’m currently working full time for a health and wellness company in downtown San Diego. I commute only on Wednesday and Thursday to the office, however work remote the remaining days. I currently don’t board any animals at my home due to having a pup myself, however I’m more than happy to watch your fur baby in the comfort of their own home.

About: Hi there! I’m a Mechanical Engineer with a flexible schedule and a lifelong love for animals. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs and pets, so I know exactly how much care, attention, and playtime our furry friends need to thrive. Whether it’s a calm walk through your neighborhood or an energetic outing to the park, I’m happy to tailor each experience to your dog’s needs. I’m also glad to offer basic training, treats, fetch, tug-of-war—whatever keeps your pup happy and engaged. I’m known as a fun, playful “dog whisperer” who builds a quick and natural bond with animals. My goal is to provide reliable, top-level care and build long-term trust with both pets and their owners. I’m here to help however I can! I am available for boarding and to walk your dog any day of the week. Please let me accommodate anything that is needed and take care of your pet! I can bathe pets if need be and take my dog on a walk everyday. I feed and take care of my cat and dog.

About: Hi, I’m Paige 👋🏼 a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience. Growing up with both a dog and cat, I’ve always had a deep love and understanding of pets and their unique personalities. Neighbors and friends have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away, whether it’s for overnight stays, walks, or just lots of cuddles and company. I’ve also fostered dogs on two different occasions until they found their forever home. I treat every pet like they’re my own: with patience, affection, and attention to their specific needs and routines. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat wants a quiet companion, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Let me know how I can help. I can’t wait to meet your furry family 🐾 I work remotely and make my own schedule, so I’m able to work around any specific needs you might have. For pet sitting, I’m able to work from your home during my work day so your pet has company and care all day. I care for a client’s pets in their own home. That way their pets can stay in an environment that’s comfortable and familiar. I will stick to their normal routines to keep things as stress-free and familiar as possible. I am always respectful of my client’s homes and will keep things clean, tidy, and secure. I can also help with anything such as watering plants, collecting mail, etc. I also know how much you’ll want pictures/videos and updates while you’re away, so I always make sure to send daily photos!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. From growing up with two wiener dogs, taking care of my neighbors pets, volunteering at the animal shelter, fostering through The Animal Pad, and now adopting my forever companion - I have experience with all breeds and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some cozy company, I treat every dog like my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are important while you’re away! I work from home the majority of the week with occasional onsite work. Working from home allows me to be more present for my dog and weave pet care naturally into my daily routine. I wake up daily around 6AM and start with a walk before settling into work, which helps both of us start the day on the right foot. Another walk at mid day and then typically a dog park sesh or long walk around the bay since I have an energetic two year old husky! I provide a calm, comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. Whether caring for pets in my space or a client’s home, I follow their usual routines as closely as possible with feeding, walks, playtime, and rest…because who doesn’t love their routine? I’m fairly relaxed with my own dog but ensure structure and routine are still in place.

About: I have a deep passion for caring for dogs, small or large, and can adapt to their personalities and temperament styles. I have experience raising my family dog, Melo, since he was a small pup! He is now 6 years old, 100lbs and the light of my life. I am familiar with basic training techniques and methods and can follow instructions per owners’ requests/preferences. I grew up with large dogs, but I have cared for a diverse array of dogs and I am excited to meet you and your pet! I am currently unemployed, job hunting for something in my field. I just moved to San Diego so I am looking to make new connections with some furry friends! My schedule is very open, just let me know what works best for you. I live in a condo apartment with a large common area where I could keep the dog comfy. I can take your pet on walks, if preferred, in a safe quiet neighborhood. If sitting in a client’s home, I would treat the space with respect and courtesy. I will try to make the pet comfy in their own home and follow instructions as needed.

“Have used Briana for years to watch our pets when needed. From a few nights to a week or so. She's kind, reliable, & so personable! We love her but my animals of 3 dogs & 2 cats love her more! I swear they get depressed when we come home cause they know she won't be back consistently! We can travel & not worry at all about the safety of our furbabies & know our home is also being taken care of. She always leaves the house better than we did for her! I highly recommend Briana. She will not disappoint & you will fall in love with her like we all have! 🥰”
