From energetic dogs who love long walks to shy cats who need a quiet and calm environment, I’m experienced in creating a positive and safe experience for all types of pets. I am passionate about building a bond with every pet I care for, and I treat each one like they’re my own. Your pet will be in great hands! I am available for pet care full-time, offering flexible hours to accommodate your pet's needs.

I take the safety and comfort of every pet in my care very seriously. I ensure a secure environment with plenty of space to play and rest. I maintain a pet-friendly space with secure fencing, comfortable bedding, and regular cleaning to keep your pet safe and happy. For in-home care, I follow any instructions you provide, including meal schedules, medications, and routines, to make sure your pet feels at ease and has a familiar environment.

About: I’ve been raised with Labrador retrievers siblings (not pets) since Barkley (my first brother) slept under my crib after my mom brought me home from the hospital. Every place I go where there is a dog, it’s my goal to make sure they like me so I am extremely attuned to how dogs are feeling as well as their needs. I helped potty train my family’s most recent labs (Buck and Buzz) as well as teach them a few tricks. I have a very flexible work schedule and would love to help out during the typical 9-5. I also would be happy to help with early morning walks. Given proper instruction and information, I’m a hyper vigilant sitter and want to make sure I am doing everything correctly as well as making sure your pup is having a fun time!

About: I've always had a love for dogs every since I was little and actually got to help raise my current dog when COVID happened in 2020 from when he was a puppy. I've pet sat so many times throughout my life and thought this would be a good way to help ensure the well-being of everyone's pet in their family! I am currently home for the summer and working remotely for an internship two days of the week. I have plenty of time to go and check on your pet during the day! Will make sure they are safe and sound. I have trained my dog to love his crate, so he usually goes in there when he wants to. I will mostly ask what the client is most comfortable with and what they need from me to best care for their pet!

“Yelena was amazing! My normal dogsitter bailed last minute before a long international trip, and Yelena was able to step in and take great care of my dog, and earn her trust. I can’t recommend Yelena highly enough and would contact her for future trips.”


About: I have pet sit for 10+ different dogs since I was 16 rangining from tiny dogs to giant dogs. I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. Including four dogs and six cats. I currently only do dog walking and cat/ dog sitting so I have a very open schedule to care for your animals. Im flexible with times and can provide some same day services. I always want the dog to stick to a routine that it’s used to especially when their owners aren’t home. I know it can be very stressful for animals when their owners leave and I just want to create a soothing environment. I will respect your rules for your pet and not overstep my boundaries.

“Alexa just watched our golden retriever Ruby, and she did a great job! Ruby is really calm and happy, and the house looks great. We’d definitely hire Alexa again. Highly recommend!”


About: I love animals, very responsible and will treat it as if it’s my own. Safe and comfortable home. Have had cats and dogs my whole life. You can be confident your baby will be in good hands. I work from home and your pet will be taken care of and kept in good company the entire time they’re away from you. You can travel with comfort. Your pet will be with me the entire time with a watchful eye and comfort, and they will feel like they are at home away from home

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember; big and small, shy and silly! I’ve helped raise several pups from puppyhood to their golden years, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a game of fetch, or a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’m reliable, patient, and always up for outdoor adventures or sticking to your pup’s favorite routine. WFH with a flexible schedule. I even take myself on walks several times a day! Lots of time for playing, cuddling, and paying attention to your fur baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and needs. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep things clean and consistent, aiming to make your pet feel secure in their familiar environment. If I’m hosting, I provide a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly space where your furry friend is treated like family. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands. Bonus: I have a patio where your fur baby can sunbathe or people watch!


“Where do i even begin! Brynn is absolutely incredible. I was hesitant to go back to using Rover after a few poor experiences with other sitters, and she has more than given me hope that there are still amazing sitters on here! Brynn stayed at my home with Lola for an entire week while I was on vacation. She met up with me twice before and had no complaints about my very particular instructions! 😉 She was extremely communicative the entire stay, sent tons of pictures, left my house cleaner than how I left it (even so much as washed my sheets and remade the bed!) and most importantly, Lola absolutely loved her! Lola is a senior dachshund and requires medication multiple times daily and Brynn always prioritized being home to cater to Lola's needs. Even when Brynn experienced an urgent personal matter of her own, her first priority was Lola and I cannot thank her enough for managing a stressful situation while still keeping Lola as #1. I'm so grateful that I found Brynn on here and will 1000% be booking with her again!! Thank you, Brynn!🥹🩷”


“We are so incredibly grateful to Nataliya for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies while we were away. She looked after our special needs golden retriever and our cat with so much love, patience, and professionalism. It was such a relief knowing they were in the hands of someone so experienced—especially with our golden’s medical needs and quirks. Nataliya went above and beyond, sending us regular updates filled with the sweetest photos and videos that made us smile every day. On top of it all, she’s an amazing trainer and even helped work on some of our pup’s less-than-perfect behaviors—something we deeply appreciate. We came home to happy, calm pets, and that peace of mind is truly priceless. We can’t recommend her enough!”



“I would highly recommend Julia. She took care of my dogs for 10 days over the Thanksgiving break and stayed at my house. She was quick to respond to messages while I was away, extremely reliable, and came back to a very clean house with two happy dogs. Thank you! 💕”


About: I have 1 dog (Bentley) and he is such a good boy! I have lived in San Diego my whole life and figured I could give a helping hand when I have time. I know how hard it is to find someone to take care of your pets, and to trust with your pets. I will treat your animals as if they were my own. I currently live in Carmel Valley with my husband and we are very outdoorsy, and love spending time doing healthy activities. We like to travel, and we spend a lot of time working... we have irregular work hours because we are both business owners, so that helps us in situations where we would need to be flexible with time. Look forward to meeting you! My husband and I are entrepreneurs and I work from home, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pup 🥰 I am a runner and run with my dog regularly. I have a fenced yard and my dog lovessss other dogs. I crate my dog when I am not home, and he is super well trained.

About: After raising 5 children and my beautiful border collie passing i’m an empty nester and would love to care for precious pets again. I have had nine dogs and dozens of cats love each and every one of them as if they were my children. All incredibly obedient and loved dearly. I would love to care for yours as well.♥️ I am currently working part time and after 3 PM in the afternoon I would love to walk play and care for your precious pups !! I have a very clean home at the same time live right next to a wonderful neighborhood park and I’m a mile from Dog Beach. Plus I would consider housesitting with your pets. I have excellent references of background in interior design, staging and organizing so I’m very organized and clean! Therefore the designations for your pet would be followed perfectly!!💥


“Jeff and Linda were amazing. We were let down by our sitter literally 30 minutes before we were due to leave our house for our 5 day vacation. We contacted Jeff through the Rover site and within 5 minutes he had called me back. They were in Flagstaff but agreed to help us out and drive straight down to look after our golden retriever Charlie and our house. They sent us regular updates and photos which was so comforting to see Charlie was clearly being very spoilt! When we got home this afternoon they had stayed later to meet us in person which was very kind of them. Charlie clearly loves them, the house looked fantastic, Linda had even washed the sheets on the bed. We really were so happy and cant wait to have them back to stay when we next go on vacation. Thank you Jeff and Linda - Charlie misses you already! :)”


About: My family has had 4 golden retrievers, 1 pit bull, and 1 white lab throughout the years. Although I am new to Rover, I have years of experience with house sitting, dog walking, and pet care. I currently work full time but have Thursday and Friday off. I can walk before or after work any day of the week. Message me and I'm sure we can work something out. My dog has a huge yard to explore but we would still take him on walks outside the property often. I am 23 and have a lot of energy so I can handle dogs that are the same. I'm very accommodating. Explain how you like things handled and I will make sure it happens that way.

About: I have been a registered dog foster for 4 years. I have experience with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have been living in the city for over a year now and have decided I have more than enough time to care for a dog or two. Extremely flexible work from home schedule so pet would almost never be left alone. No travel plans coming up anytime soon. Available weekdays and weekends. I live in a pet friendly building in West Loop. Plenty of grass and outdoor areas around building and walkable to several dog parks. Super affectionate and loving towards all breeds so lots of petting and snuggles throughout the day. Also love talking to them.

North City pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had a great experience with Chunli! She was incredibly considerate of my home and treated it with the utmost respect while caring for my dog. I truly appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and photos — it was so reassuring to see how well taken care of my pup was while I was away. I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and my home were in great hands.

Patrick was an absolute rockstar! He watched both of our dogs and the house while we were gone on an eight day vacation. He did an amazing job at making sure the dogs were acclimated to his routine while he was here, and he also gave them daily walks. I look forward to having him come stay with us again.

Jill was great. We met beforehand to get familiar with Remi and get to know our neighborhood. She shared great update pictures during her stay and took Remi on great walks. This was our first Rover experience and we were extremely happy with Jill and will use her again.

I can’t say enough good things about Nataliaya! She took care of our sweet (but anxious 😅) dachshund Raya for two days while we were out for a wedding and rehearsal, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Raya has some separation anxiety, but Nataliaya was so kind, patient, and loving. She made sure Raya felt safe and cared for. She sent us lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the day, and it really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. She treated Raya like part of the family, and it meant the world to us. If we’re ever in Laguna again, we’d love to book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely loves animals🥰

Marie was excellent with Lucy. She was prompt upon arrival and took her time getting acquainted. She was thoughtful in her communication throughout her time with Lucy. And as a bonus Marie is a talented photographer sending print-worthy photos often throughout her stay. She paid careful attention to my homemade feeding instructions. Leaving Lucy with Marie gave me ease of mind knowing she was in caring and experienced hands.

Nadiia is an excellent pup sitter!! she took such good care of our Elio while we were away. she took him on several walks a day and made sure he had lots of play time. she sent us lots of photos and videos and we could tell Elio was having a blast. thanks so much Nadiia!! ☺️

Spencer was awesome! He stayed with our dog, Banana, for a week while we were traveling over the holidays. Spencer took Banana for plenty of walks, her favorite, and even a nice hike! Spencer took great care of Banana and our home. He responded quickly and sent the perfect amount of photos and updates. Highly recommend!!

Brynn stayed with our cat and 2 senior dogs for an entire week and though all three were very glad to see us when we got home they were generally pretty chill, which means that they were happy and comfortable while we were gone. Brynn sent daily updates and pictures and managed everything wonderfully. The house was well taken care of and spotless on our return. Brynn was very thoughtful and communicates well. I would highly recommend her and will hope she is available for our next trip.
