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.
About: I grew up with a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and trained my 5 year old pit bull, River, who now lives the retirement life with my dad in NorCal. Doing obedience training with him was a great learning experience. I’ve always been a animal lover and would love to spend some time with your pup or cat as I am away from mine! I am currently working remote, part-time so I have a very flexible schedule. I usually run some errands or catch with up friends during the week but otherwise tend to be around the house. This has been great for longer stays or regular check-ins. I live in a condo, in a 4 unit building, and have a fenced in front patio/yard. I am in a great neighborhood in Pacific Beach, close to the beach, and would take your pup for walks around the neighborhood and the beach. I can crate your dog easily as well.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, we had a black lab and a golden mix that we raised from puppyhood so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs over the years, which gave me experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and needs. I work from home, which means your pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I love long walks, staying active, and making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and included. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or a total cuddler, I truly enjoy getting to know their unique quirks and making them feel right at home. Your pup will be in caring, responsible hands! Since I work from home, I’m around all day and love having a furry friend to keep me company! I’m free in the mornings, during lunch, and after work for walks and playtime. My schedule is super flexible, so I can also pet sit or board. I’m able to work from anywhere, so your pup will always have someone nearby to hang out with, play with, and feel comfortable around. I live alone in an apartment with no other pets, so your pup gets my full attention. My space is cozy, safe, and easy for dogs to settle into. I also live right by the bay walking path, which is perfect for regular walks. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always keep things safe, consistent, and comfortable. I follow your pup’s routines, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for every step of the way.
“Kelsey was responsive, incredibly easy to communicate with, and accommodating for our schedule on short notice for our first Rover experience. Our puppy was very comfortable and appeared to have enjoyed herself when we picked her up after each daycare session. Will use again in the future and would recommend Kelsey for anyone looking for daycare services!”
About: At my single-family home with fully fenced front and back yards, dogs get the perfect mix of structure, exercise, and comfort. I’m extremely active and love spending time outdoors, which means your dog gets plenty of walks, play sessions, and supervised yard time throughout the day. I have decades of hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs — especially big breeds, athletic dogs, and puppies that need routine and boundaries. I’m equally patient with seniors who need a slower pace and extra attention. My focus is always on safety, movement, consistency, and calm leadership so every dog feels confident, relaxed, and well cared for. Your pup will enjoy a clean home, secure yards, and an owner who genuinely loves keeping dogs active, happy, and comfortable. Message me for a quick meet-and-greet so we can tour the yard and meet your pup. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I’m active from morning to night. I start with walks or jogs, include multiple exercise and enrichment sessions, and keep a steady feeding/potty routine. I work from home often, giving me the flexibility to provide constant supervision, companionship, and activity. Dogs stay engaged, moving, and comfortable all day long. In my home, dogs enjoy a safe and structured environment with two fully fenced yards for exercise, play, and fresh air. I offer regular walks, backyard play sessions, training games, mental stimulation, and calm downtime inside. I keep spaces clean and secure, follow your dog’s routines closely, and give each pet the attention and movement they need to feel at home.
“Benny loves it at Gabrielle & Matthew's! Their house and yard is doggy heaven. Lots of space to roam, play, and sniff. He loves their two shepherds. They all seem to get along, and they are good influences on Benny, as they are so well behaved. Benny always comes home happy and tired. Couldn't ask for more!”
“I would definitely recommend Jenna for your dog sitting needs! She was so accommodating to me and my schedule and Oliver liked her instantly when he met her. He was a happy dog when I picked him up! We’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: I work remotely, which means your pet won’t be alone for long stretches of the day. They’ll have consistent company, attention, and a calm presence throughout my workday. I currently live with a cat, so I’m very comfortable with feline personalities, routines, and reading their moods. I understand that cats (and dogs!) have boundaries, preferences, and quirks, and I respect them. I’m very attentive, clean, and organized. I take pet care seriously: fresh water, clean spaces, routine walks, playtime, and lots of affection if they’re into that. I also send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how things are going. Because I’m new to San Diego and building community, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and giving them my full attention, this isn’t something I’m squeezing into a busy schedule. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around pet care. I’m home for most of the day and can easily take breaks for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. Because I’m not commuting or out of the house for long periods, pets in my care get consistent attention and aren’t left alone for extended hours. In my home: • Calm, clean, pet-safe environment • Frequent potty breaks and walks • Lots of supervision since I’m home most of the day • Comfortable resting spaces and playtime throughout the day In clients’ homes: • I respect your home and follow your pet’s exact routine • Keep feeding, walking, and play schedules consistent • Send updates and photos • Make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment My goal is to make your pet feel like their routine hasn’t been disrupted.
“Thank you, Diana!! I had an amazing experience with her. Diana is super nice person. She sent me some photos and updates throughout the day. My dog loves her so much. Highly recommend!!”
Mission Bay dog parents share their Rover experiences
Oh boy, where do I even start?! Clint and Don were such AMAZING hosts for my pups, Pickles and Ranger. To preface, I do not have the easiest dogs to dogsit. They are fairly anxious and wary of new people - and therefore I felt especially anxious to book them for daycare - but Clint was more than happy to work with them and welcome them into his home. He handled drop-off with the kind of confidence, patience, and reassurance that you'd expect from the best dog whisperers, and I was able to go to work without a single worry on my mind all day. The dogs have an abundance of indoor and outdoor space to play and relax in, and it's clear that Clint and Don have a great understanding of canine behavior and interactions to take the best care of your fur baby. In fact, my jaw dropped halfway through the day when I opened my phone to a video of Ranger and Pickles seeking pets and attention. You would have never thought that they'd started the morning with an episode of unfriendly barking at drop-off! Clint and Don sent pictures and videos throughout the day of both pups socializing, and each update put a big smile on my face. Don even took the whole pack on a field trip to the park, which was such a thoughtful surprise! By the time I picked the boys up, it felt like they'd not only been at daycare, but also a training session with how much socialization they'd benefitted from. I am SO incredibly happy that I found Clint and Don - they care deeply about each and every pup and take the time to make them feel comfortable, which is especially reassuring for a pet parent like me who has nervous dogs. Needless to say, I will absolutely be bringing Pickles and Ranger back for daycare and boarding! Thank you Clint and Don - we're so excited for the next visit!!!
Cassidy took amazing care of my old lady dog! My dog didnt want to leave by the end of the day, thats how I know my dog absolutely felt safe and loved <3 She was flexible with timing and had quick responses. I would trust her anytime with my dog, Love <3 Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable care for their pup or even a kitty!
Dylan hosted Lucy Goosey for over 12 hours while I had to travel for work. She had such a great time and he took such great care of her! It was nice knowing that she was with somebody I could trust AND that she would be nice and tired when I got home from a long day!!
Julie was amazing! Our pup seemed like he had the best time there. Very lovely home and backyard, he had the time of his life running around there. She took him on a long walk which was perfect for him and played fetch with her. Great communication throughout the stay, sent pictures, and felt very comfortable with him there. Highly recommend Julie!
Maja was amazing during 4 days of daycare for our Husky. She is very responsive and we got many pictures and updates. We could tell he was happy and well taken care every time we picked him up. She has a large outdoor patio which was a great place for our dog to relax after their fun walks and playtime. We’ll definitely have her take care of our husky if we have more trips to San Diego/La Jolla.
Haley was so sweet and caring towards our sensitive fox hound. She took the time to ask questions about his preferences and daily routines. Super communicative with photo updates throughout the day while we were away. Extra bonus, her doggie Zara is also super sweet companion for the day. Haley, Thank you again for allowing us to do some site seeing without Elvis while in San Diego. We hope to use your services again next time we are in town.
Mallory not only helped us out a ton by accepting a last minute booking, she was the absolute perfect match for my anxious senior dog! My Junie can take a while to warm up and is quite picky about who she “lets in.” Mallory was thoughtful, patient, and adaptable — so much so that Junie got nice and cozy with her by the end of her very first stay! I was shocked and beyond happy as that NEVER happens. I’m so glad we found someone we can trust and who Junie feels comfortable with (she sends her thanks, too!). Great communication throughout. Highly recommend!
My dog is about 70-75lbs. Rachel handled him with no problem. Her dog Riley welcomed and eased up my dog. Made us feel safe to leave him with them. Perfect hosts! We used her sitting service but she actually did more than we expected. Really appreciated that. Would definitely call her if we're in the area again!
