“Chunli was absolutely amazing while I was away in Japan! She took such great care of my cat — super reliable, caring, and always keeping me updated with pictures and little notes. I could tell my kitty was happy and comfortable the whole time. It really gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible cat sitter!”

“Ellyn was fantastic and our little Joey seemed to love having her here. Ellyn was so responsive to us with daily updates and photos and I will for sure be using her in the future. Thank again Ellyn!”

“Jordan was absolutely the best! She was communicative and sent a lot of great photos of Charlie and Hudson. We knew they were having a wonderful time and in very good care with Jordan. We will definitely book Jordan as again for our next trips.”

About: Hi I’m Rachel! You can feel at ease knowing that I am pampering your fur-baby to their hearts content. I have cared for animals my entire life, from horses to birds to puppies. I love to keep the pups mentally and physically stimulated whether it be food puzzles or beach days at fiesta island. I have attended dog training classes with my own dogs in the past, so I will apply what I have learned as I care for yours if you would like me to. I work from home, so the dog-walking breaks are just as refreshing for me as they are for your pup! Plus my schedule is very flexible. I have a Pomsky named Mochi who is a little over two years old. He is incredibly social, so if your dog is social as well it’s a great way for them both to burn some energy! I won’t introduce them unless you specifically ask me to though. Feel free to ask me any additional questions :)
“We truly appreciated Cary's help and dedication in caring for our home and our cherished cat, Robbie. She was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates. We returned home to find Robbie stress-free, and the home is in fantastic condition. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”

“Eliza was amazing with Hamachi. We recently adopted him and he has some separation anxiety. We wanted to go to a concert and it was our first time leaving him with a sitter. From the moment Eliza sat with him, he seemed at ease. Eliza is very personable, easy going, and caring. We enjoyed our date night knowing Hamachi was in good hands. We were running a little late coming home and Eliza stayed with him until we got back and was very flexible about it.”

“Nicole did an excellent job of taking care of our two Great Danes! She showed up on time and spent the entire day with them while we were away. And she sent us updates & photos a few times. We'll definitely hire her again.”

“Stephanie was fantastic with my sweet and spicy Cattle Dog. Went above and beyond, kept me informed with great photos, cleaned up and washed bedding (didn’t have to). I’ll definitely use her again!”

“Alec has watched my 2 dogs twice when I've gone out of town and has been great! He kept me up to date with pics of the dogs and updates throughout the day. He maintained their regular walking schedule and even took my more energetic pup on extra walks. Both times I've come home to 2 happy dogs and I would definitely book him again in the future.”

“Eli took great care of Kona and our house while we were away. He was very responsive before our trip, and sent great updates while he was staying with Kona. We look forward to him dog and house sitting for us again soon.”

“Serena is the best! She’s so reliable and loved my dog like hers. She really took the time to get to know my pup and was so understanding of all his little quirks. Honestly, I think Tori fell in love with her! It’s such a relief finding someone who cares this much. We’ll definitely be rebooking!”

“We had a great experience using Nataliya, who graciously watched over our house and our cat, Robbie! She was extremely responsive to communications, and fantastic at sending regular updates, including photos and videos of our kitty while we are away. We would definitely use her again! Thank you so much!”


About: Hello! My name is Kirk, and am a lifelong animal lover, experienced dog walker & pet sitter, trusted families throughout San Diego and North County. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you’ve come to the right place. I grew up with Black Labs and multiple cats as a child and have been around dogs, cats and other pets my entire life. As an adult I’ve had six dogs and three cats of my own ranging from large, medium, and small breeds, which has given me a great understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. About ten years ago I began pet sitting for friends and family, and over the past 6–8 years I’ve regularly cared for walked and pet sit for dogs and cats throughout the year. I’ve worked with playful high-energy dogs who need long walks, older pets who need patience and gentle care, and cats who appreciate a calm and attentive presence. I pride myself on being an attentive, dependable, and loving pet caregiver. When your pet is with me they receive extra attention, extra love, and extra care. I’m very mindful of safety, routines, and making sure each animal feels comfortable and secure. Whether that means walks, playtime, companionship, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I make sure your pet feels happy and well cared for. I also have many personal references here in San Diego from families whose pets I’ve cared for over the years, and I’m always happy to provide them. For me, this isn’t just a side job, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy building my schedule around providing reliable walks, visits, and care for animals. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention and time they deserve. During the day I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a longer walk, feeding, or some companionship while you're away. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and relaxed. For dogs, walks are tailored to their energy level, some enjoy a brisk walk and exercise, while others prefer a slower, more relaxed stroll. For cats, visits include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and spending time with them so they feel calm and cared for. I try to keep my calendar updated regularly and respond quickly to requests. My goal is to be dependable and make scheduling easy so you can feel confident that your pet will receive consistent, attentive care. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make the experience calm, safe, and enjoyable for them while giving you peace of mind while you're away. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to follow the schedule and preferences you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure. A typical visit or walk begins with a quick check-in to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and relaxed. For dogs, this usually means a walk that matches their energy level, whether that’s a fun, active outing or a slower stroll around the neighborhood. After the walk, I make sure they have fresh water, settle them comfortably, and spend a little extra time giving attention or play if they enjoy it. For cats, visits include feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, and spending time with them in whatever way they prefer—some cats love playtime and attention, while others simply appreciate quiet companionship. I keep things clean, organized, and respectful of your home while I’m there. I also send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re being well cared for. Above all, you can expect reliability, patience, and genuine care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to make each visit positive, safe, and comforting for them.

This allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to caring for your pets, ensuring they receive the best possible care and company. I prioritize safety and trust when caring for pets in my clients' homes. I follow all provided instructions meticulously, ensuring that pets are comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

“Brooke was excellent! She took great care of our cats including giving insulin injections to our stubborn diabetic one! We look forward to having her care for our cats again!”

“Yongzi did a great job with house-sitting and caring for our pups. The communication was quick and she sent many great photos of the dogs enjoying themselves. We look forward to using Yongzi’s services again.”

About: I have 2 dogs currently and I have had 3 dogs at one time. I also dog sit occasionally for family friends. Most of my dog sitting experience has been staying at someone’s house and taking care of the dogs and house. I know how to take care of both puppies and senior dogs and I have experience giving medication to pets as well. I’m currently on a summer break in between graduating from the University of Michigan and attending law school in the fall. Most of my days are very open so I would love to fill them with pet sitting or dog walking! I have experience dog sitting overnight and following routines. I have a bigger lab and a smaller dog, and I have also had a husky. I have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs and their routines!

“Wow, what a life saver! Marisol is exactly who we needed during an important week visiting family. Our senior Lab had trouble walking and eating so very limited choices. We were running out of options with only days to find a solution. After reaching out to multiple potential sitters, only Marisol came through for us. Marisol is not only great with dogs, but very quickly understand their owners too :) She took amazing care of our home and of course our dog. Lots of updates and pics. Can't recommend her enough. Professional and caring!”

About: I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages—puppies are not a problem, and I also provide gentle, patient care for senior dogs. I have experience with training and always focus on creating a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, which instilled in me a deep love for animals. Today, I have an 8-year-old corgi (he’s been with me since he was just 2 months old) and a 2-year-old cat, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. Their health and happiness is everything to me, and making pets feel safe and loved truly brings joy to my life. My corgi is incredibly sweet, social, and intuitive. He gets along with every animal and naturally takes on the role of a responsible host, caring deeply about every pet that visits. My 2-year-old cat is also very friendly—not just with humans but with other animals too, and she often plays with visiting dogs who are up for it. In my home, guest dogs have freedom and are treated like family. Unless you prefer otherwise, they are welcome to sleep on the bed, couch, or wherever they feel most comfortable. We go on at least two walks a day (30+ minutes each), and every few days we visit the dog beach for a few hours. I’m always happy to adjust routines, activity levels, and care based on your dog’s specific needs. I provide a safe, loving, and social environment where your pet will feel at home. Since I work from home, I am available to care for your furry friend 24/7. Even when I'm out running errands or attending to other matters, my family, including my husband and high school junior son, will be there to ensure that your pet is never left alone or unsupervised. I understand how important pets are, and I treat them with respect and love. Their mental and physical health are crucial, which is why I make sure to incorporate playtime and regular walks into their daily routine. However, I also understand that each pet has its own unique personality and preferences, so I only engage in activities that they enjoy. You can trust me to take good care of your pet and treat them as if they were a part of my own family. With my years of experience and love for animals, your furry friend will be in good hands. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and regular interaction as part of my daily routine. If I need to step out briefly for errands, my family—my husband and son—are always home to ensure your pet is never left alone or unsupervised. Caring for animals is truly part of our everyday life, and we make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and included at all times. Your pet will be staying in a safe, loving, and supervised home environment alongside my friendly and sociable male corgi and female cat. They are both very comfortable with other animals and humans, so your pet will have positive companionship and social interaction during their stay. Safety is always my priority. I carefully introduce pets to ensure everyone feels comfortable, and I can separate spaces if needed depending on your pet’s temperament or preferences. I also follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines—so your pet’s care stays consistent. I have a large, secure patio with both sunny and shaded areas, perfect for dogs who enjoy spending time outdoors in a safe space. Inside, pets are free to relax and feel at home, with constant supervision throughout the day. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free environment where your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

North City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Barbara was excellent with our two kitties. She went above and beyond and made us feel comfortable knowing that they were in great hands while we were away. She really knows cats and is very in tune to their needs. She sent us lots of pictures, was very communicative, and was respectful of our home and space. Can’t recommend her enough.

Ari is fantastic! She is incredibly punctual and reliable, which brought me so much peace of mind. I especially appreciated her patience and willingness to work with our quirky pup; she handled his unique personality perfectly. As a bit of an anxious dog mom myself, Ari’s communication and care really helped me feel at ease. We can’t recommend her enough!

Kelly was a WONDERFUL pet sitter! She was flexible with our travel plans and spent significant time with our pups. She took them on multiple daily walks and they slept with her at night. They were calm and content upon our return, which is how I know they were truly cared for. I highly recommend Kelly to care for your pets!!!

What a blessing to find Sophia. She went over and above taking care of our anxious, clingy dog for 12 days. Photos were sent daily along with updates and upon our return home, the house was exaclty as we had left it and our dog looked fantastic. Book Sophia if you can however do not book her when we need her😂

Sandra was absolutely incredible during our recent overnight trip. From the moment we got home, I could tell the boys were beyond happy — relaxed, loved, and completely themselves. And somehow, her sweet pup Koko and my dogs are now officially best friends. She took care of everything so seamlessly it felt like she had always been part of our routine. I came home after a long work trip to a spotless house, clean sheets and towels, and very content pups. I was honestly in heaven. The boys are definitely missing Sandra and Koko today. 💛 If you’re lucky enough to book her, you’ll understand exactly how we feel. She gets off-the-charts stars from me — huge thank you, Sandra! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Patrick was great! Excellent communication! Both super responsive and terrific at sending photos and updates. We especially appreciate his athleticism as we have two extremely active pups. They are used to taking long walks and Patrick was willing to take them on their favorite hike. We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with Patrick and look forward to having him back again!
Marie took on a big order to support our furbabies. Marie stayed in our home with our new puppy, very geriatric dog, and our sweet husky. Plus 2 cats. What she provided was support for a family healing post breast cancer, caring for her furfamily in very challenging stages at the same time. We were provided beautiful videos, kind and compassionate words, that eased the stress to allow her healing. We are so grateful to Marie.

I am so grateful for Christi! We had a sitter cancel at the last second right before Thanksgiving and thankfully Christi was available! She did a tremendous job taking care of my GSD while staying overnight at my house. She kept me up to date with how my dog was doing and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Will certainly reach out to Christi next time we are in need.

Brooke did a great job on her first of hopefully many nights with my two babies. She had to administer meds to the older one and he seemed to take it better from her than me. They seemed content in the pics she sent throughout my trip. My home was in great shape when I returned. We are using Brooke again!
