About: A lifelong dog lover with years of experience, especially caring for senior pups. While I specialize in small dogs, I also enjoy looking after cats and larger breeds. I work from home so am able to spend time with your pup all day long. I like to take plenty of walks throughout the day. I have a relaxed senior pup at home and would be able to drop by your place when needed as my work schedule is very flexible.

About: I grew up with dogs so I’ve taken care of dogs basically my whole life and cats as well now in my adult life, I love all pets and have no problem with any breeds or sizes. I’m currently in between semesters at college and looking to fill my time with something I enjoy so I am available basically any day any time and have plenty of flexibility for your pet needs! I can provide your pet all of the attention and love needed whether it’s following a step by step schedule you have them on or from my own pet experience.
About: I specialize in dog care and have over five years of hands on experience as a dog owner and sitter. I’ve had my own dog, Xochilt, for five years and have also boarded two additional dogs for an extended period, caring for three dogs at once while maintaining structure, safety, and individualized attention. I have experience with puppies, reactive dogs, and dogs who require medication, special diets, or strict routines. I’m patient, attentive, and very comfortable reading dog body language, which helps me adapt my approach to each dog’s personality and needs. I prioritize consistency and clear routines, especially for dogs who thrive on structure or need extra reassurance. I’m playful and nurturing while still maintaining boundaries to keep dogs safe and well behaved. My location offers easy access to multiple dog parks within walking distance, making walks and outdoor enrichment a regular part of care when appropriate. Whether I’m providing walks, drop ins, boarding, or house sitting, my goal is to make dogs feel secure, engaged, and cared for so owners can feel confident their pets are in capable, loving hands :) I’m currently a full time student at San Diego City College with all online classes except one, which allows me to be flexible and attentive with pet care. I offer walks, drop ins, boarding, and house sitting, and I plan my schedule around each dog’s routine. I make sure dogs get consistent walks, playtime, meals, and any required medications, with plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m communicative and happy to adjust care based on your dog’s needs and comfort level ! My apartment is dog friendly and located in a safe, very walkable neighborhood. There are multiple designated areas nearby for dogs to use the bathroom, as well as several dog parks within a 10 min walking distance for dogs who enjoy extra exercise and social time. All outings are based on the owner’s preferences and the dog’s comfort level. Dogs in my care are always supervised, follow their regular routines, and receive attentive, structured care. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their established routines so pets feel comfortable and secure!
About: 6+ years working in shelters, 3 years training animals to become adoptable, CPDT-KA through the council for professional dog trainers, certificate in animal behavior through University of Washington. I am currently working part time for myself, at most I would have to leave the house for 4-6 hours some days. I have plenty of time to take your pet to any of their favorite places or to play with them at your home! I do have some standing events on Thursday and Saturday nights where I would be away for longer periods of time, otherwise I am content to send my time with a laptop and internet connection and caring for your furry loved one! I have experience with all types of pets and situations, fenced yards, walks needed or crating specialists! Whatever your needs are, I can accommodate them!
“Clarisse was fantastic. She took excellent care of our two very active cats while we were away. Grateful that she is a cat owner as well and could appreciate their needs. She played all of their favorite games, gave them lots of attention and even cleaned up after them. We will certainly be booking Clarisse again in the future. Highly recommend if your looking for a kitty sitter!”

“Thank you Kaitie for taking wonderful care of our dogs!! Having an elderly dog makes us especially nervous to be away from home, but we felt safe and sound with them in Kaitie’s care. Terrific service and communication from Kaitie!”
Mission Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marcie did a fantastic job looking after our cats and went far above and beyond taking care of them when one of them got sick after we'd left the country. She took Huey to the vet twice, administered medication, isolated him as needed while keeping him company, while making sure Slinky was well looked after as well. The boys love her as do we, and we hope to work with her again soon!
Alena did a wonderful job all around walking and feeding my two pups while I was away overnight. She was kind, dependable, and responsive, sending me many adorable pictures from the walks. I could relax being away knowing my babies were in great hands. Look forward to having her her watch them again!
Sarah did an amazing job with my 1.5 year old lab puppy while I was gone on a work trip. Sent thorough updates, pictures, videos, and strong comms on both days after every drop-in. She even practiced the commands my dog knows to keep her mind occupied on top of playing with her. Will def be re-booking Sarah in the future.
Latisha was amazing! She did a meet and greet with my cat and I that made me feel so at ease and comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She provided great updates and lots of photos and videos throughout my long vacation! Throughout my trip, I felt no anxiety at all regarding my pets care and knew that she was being well cared for. I will definitely rebook with Latisha when I go out of town next!! Thank you!!
I’m so sad that I just found Christine and I’m moving in a month. Have been searching for someone as sweet and caring as her for so long. She constantly updated me, and sent the cutest photos. Felt so relieved all week knowing that my little babies were in her hands. Can’t recommend her enough ❤️
I cannot recommend her enough! She took exceptional care of my cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. She is incredibly caring and my cat absolutely adored her. She was flexible, reliable, and trustworthy, and she kept me updated regularly with messages and photos so I always knew how my cat was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in such great hands.
We hired Alyssa for our two shy kitties pretty last minute for a two week trip out of the country. She did a phenomenal job keeping us updated with Rover Cards and reaching out if she needed anything, so we could really enjoy our trip. Our normally very shy cats warmed up to her really quickly, so it put us even more at ease. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!
