Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Normal Heights, San Diego, CA

“Sammy went above and beyond during her drop in visits this week with my kitty while I was out of town. She gave me great updates and she had no issues using an inhaler with Benny for the first time. She went overtime during her last visit when Benny had an accident just when she was about to leave my apartment for the final visit. I really appreciate her willingness to clean him and my apartment up as best as she could and to protect my couches from any unwanted stains until I could return. She was very professional about the accident and didn't complain once for having to stay 30 minutes longer. This is why Sammy is my go to sitter!”

“Michelle was amazing and took such great care of my cats while I was away. She sent me plenty of pictures and left little notes about how they were doing. 10/10 would recommend!!”

“Kaden was absolutely wonderful with my crazy 7 month old kitten! Sequoia was so happy to have somebody stop by to give her a little bit of playtime and enrichment while I had an extra long day at work. Kaden made sure to cover all of the bases of care and included lots of pictures of my girl in the Rover card. He is very trustworthy, thorough, and hands down the best sitter for cats. I highly recommend Kaden and will 100% be booking again soon for the holidays. 😊”

About: Hey! My name is Kim, and I'm excited to work together. A bit about me: My love for pets has always been a big part of my life. I volunteered in an animal shelter where I was in charge of feeding, cleaning, and caring for puppies, adult dogs, kittens, and cats. In addition, my family dog is 17 now and she is my pride and joy. She means everything to me, and I would treat your pet the same :) This passion has also landed me in a career in animal science where I hope to continue my work with more amazing animals. Looking forward to connecting! I am a graduate student in biology at SDSU. I work in a lab M-F from 9-5, however, I am able to leave throughout the day at any time for pet visits and walks. My priority is consistent and reliable pet care no matter the day/time! I'm looking forward to providing some cuddles and fun! I will work with you to provide any service necessary, including feeding, walking, and/or play-time. My time with your pet will be tailored by you, with lots of pictures and updates throughout my stay.

“I absolutely recommend Lucy to watch your fur babies of all shapes and sizes. She came in and spent time with Hamlet the pig, didn’t bat an eye at how big and possibly frightening he was- just came in with snacks, a positive attitude, and confidence. He was eating out of her hands and chatting up a storm like they were old friends. You can tell she has an energy that animals are drawn to and feel safe with. We are lifetime customers if she’ll have us!!”

“Yuma was a reliable and kind sitter. I will definitely rebook with her.”

About: I currently work part time as a caregiver, host Cacao Ceremonies, and I pet sit. I recently lost the last of my three dogs and have a very motherly heart full of love and am hoping for new pet friends to offer it to. Previously I worked at the San Diego Humane Society as an adoption counselor, where I matched the animals to their ideal humans. Prior to that I worked at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in the Big Game department where I worked hands on with wild animals like deer and elk! I have been pet sitting for people since I was sixteen, and have previously had three dogs of my own, so I am very comfortable around them. I also used to volunteer for the Sacramento Zoo as a keeper's aid so I am used to cleaning up messes and will have no problem around larger animals. I also worked at U.C. Davis' sheep barn where I fed the animals, cleaned their quarters, administered shots and ultrasounds, and assisted in births. I have the utmost respect for all animals but have a very special place in my heart for dogs and cats. My goal is to provide animals with ample comfort and mental and physical stimulation while their families are away. Pets are little angel babies and deserve all the love in the world. I'd love to care for your baby/babies so hit me up with any questions! I work part time and my shifts are not longer than four hours usually. Some of my work I do from home so I will have ample time to spend with your pet(s). I live in a one bedroom in a condo that has a little fenced in area where they can go to the bathroom and also live in a very walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood.

“Everything I asked and more , super grateful highly recommend. My kittens loved her and I'm sure they'll bother me to get her to come sit for them again”

About: I am a responsible and dependable pet care provider. When I was young, I had and loved two labradors, Molly and Mindy, a mom and daughter duo who forever live in my heart. I now have a beautiful long haired cat, named “T”, who we adopted and she has FIV and is living happily and healthily. In previous years, I worked at a veterinary office and became very comfortable with all animals. I am comfortable administering medications if needed. I just recently finished a masters program in Food Science and we have moved back to our home of San Diego. I am free to take care of animals all throughout the day and have a dependable vehicle . I am respectful of clients homes and like to leave places in better condition than I found them in. I will care for your pets needs and you instruct and will go above and beyond for your baby.

“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!”

About: I have volunteered and fostered for animal shelters for the past seven years. I have experience with all sizes, ages, and temperaments of both cats and dogs. As an owner of a leash-reactive and anxious dog, I understand and empathize with wanting to have full confidence in your pet sitter. I will treat every animal as if they are my own. I currently work full-time M-F, but I am looking to supplement with weekends and evenings. I have a flexible schedule and can work to meet your needs! I will follow all house rules and respect your space. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible in my care. I hope I have the opportunity to care for your pet!

I have had dogs and other various pets my entire life and know how to bond with them and care for them. I have dog-sat for many friends and families over the years. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I work remotely so I am always available to give lots of potty breaks and walks during the day! Plenty of potty breaks will be given throughout the day. I will treat your pet and home like my own! I have experience with many dogs and will give all the love and attention your pup needs!

“Spencer obviously loves animals and took excellent care of our two cats. He provided great updates and photos to keep us informed. I would definitely book him again for future visits!”

Sarah H.

“Frank is golden!! I knew exactly how my fur baby was doing the entire time I was away from her. He was really fantastic with her. I got updates every step of the way. He was very professional, punctual, and caring. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who has a high love of integrity. Book with confidence…I know I will again…can’t thank him enough!”

Eve M.

“Savannah was amazing! She agreed to meet us (My dog Maia and I) before her 1st visit, that was very important for me since I wanted to see Maia’s reaction. Since the first time she gave me such a good vibe and she answered all my questions, that gave me so much peace of mind that Maia was on good hands! Also she agreed to take care of her during the Christmas holidays. Savannah was very communicative and followed all the instructions on her visits, she took a bunch of pictures and Maia was great during all her visits. I will definitely book again when needed. Thanks a lot Savannah”

“Britny is an outstanding dog walker! She took great care of Gigi, taking her on walks and even bringing her to the dog park. She kept me updated with photos and was very communicative and flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend Britny for both dog walking and drop-in visits!”

Corina P.

“Our first time using Rover and Kaitlyn made it a great experience. She came over the day before to introduce herself which we greatly appreciated! Bennie had a great day and she made us feel comfortable with the whole experience. Will definitely be rebooking!”

“Dani is the best sitter we’ve ever worked with through Rover. She’s been taking care of our cats for a few years now and we couldn’t be happier. Dani is always on time, very professional, and goes above and beyond to help us whenever we’re out of town. Our cats absolutely love Dani and your pets will too!!”

Luke M.

“Excellent attention to detail. Evelyn followed each direction carefully, and sent great photos to let me know how things were going. I be a repeat customer for sure!”
