“Rachel has been an amazing dog walker and sitter and we’re sad to see her moving away from our area but know future clients will be so lucky to have her. I wish there see more walkers like her. She frequently walked and sat for Lucy and she has been reliable, kind, and communicative. Most of all, my dog adores her. We’re so thankful for all of her care for Lucy.”
“Kirra was amazing with our pups! They loved her from the start! She’s great with communication and keeping us updated. We’ll be more than happy to have her walk our little ones more often”
About: As a loving pet owner and sitter, I take the responsibility of caring for your little family member very seriously! Safety is my utmost priority! Whether that is senior care or a walking route that best fits your pet, I'm honored to take care of your companion. I am a full time Realtor with a flexible schedule. I love to break up my day with walking my own dogs and am happy to incorporate your pet's schedule into my routine. I have a fully fenced yard that my own two dogs love to hangout in. My house is single story and ideal for senior pups who need a safe, comfortable place to stay.
About: Can I pet your dog? I’m a lifelong animal lover with a house in Ocean Beach, half a block from the sea. Fenced-in yard with doggy door, fully puppy-proofed. I work from home, so lunch breaks involve fetch sessions at the park and evenings are spent hiking Sunset Cliffs or romping around Dog Beach (both run and walkable!). I have a five-year old Labrador named Sierra who loves everyone. I bet she will love your pup, too. I work from home, so lunch breaks involve fetch sessions at the park and evenings are spent hiking Sunset Cliffs or romping around Dog Beach (both run and walkable!). Weekends leave just more time to play! You know that saying, let sleeping dogs lie? I won’t even move Sierra to make myself comfy on the couch. My yard is accessed through a doggy door for the pups’ convenience. I live right by dog beach, so if your little one is ok with other dogs and had decent recall, we can really have some fun. As I guest, I am clean and quiet. I prefer to leave anywhere I visit in better shape than I found it.
About: I’ve grown up with large dogs my entire life and currently own a pit/staffy mix! I’ve been dog and cat sitting for most of my life and currently own a calico cat! I am stern when needed (especially with pups who are training), but am very active and playful when appropriate. I currently work a primarily remote and flexible job so my availability is fairly open for dog walks and visits. I will work with you to come as closely to your requested time as possible! I have been pet sitting since I was in high school and am very responsible. I respect my client’s home and leave it just the way I found it. I will make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.
“Lea is a great young lady. Very dependable and on time every day. I will definitely use her again if I have the need in the future. Lea has been taking my dog down to the local wetlands walking the paths with my dog Polo. I love seeing the pics. Thanks Lea”
“Virginie has been wonderful! Very communicative and proactive in arranging a meet and greet. Rosie loved her immediately, which is always a good sign. She’s been so patiently flexible with our ever-changing schedule. Definitely recommend her!”
“Mady did amazing with my boys. I knew she would when we had our meet and greet. She wasn’t intimidated by their size, so receptive to all the ridiculous training techniques we use, and just so nice! I’m sure my boys are looking forward to seeing her this weekend !”
About: I’ve taken care of my dog for the last 6 years and I’ve also dog sat and walked my friends’ dogs. I look forward to taking good care of yours! I’m free to walk drop-in on your dog from 11am to 5pm. I love walking dogs in Ocean Beach and I am lucky to be able to do it everyday. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay attention to traffic and “cross” signals. I slow down if your dog goes slower. I’m careful around other dogs and I pay attention to whether your dog is hot or tired.
“Outgoing and kind to my senior dog. Did a meet and greet a few days before the scheduled walk to get to know him and go over plans for the day of. Very communicative and attentive which was definitely appreciated. Would 100% book again.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have been a go-to for family and friends who need an experienced and trustworthy pet /house sitter. I work from home and get to spoil my pup with walks every few hours, tons of cuddle and play time, and love to provide a happy home for doggos who need it when away from their “pack”. I also have some training experience from a professional dog trainer! ☺️ I grew up with pets my whole life and safety is a high priority for me. I take precautions to make sure dogs are safe at all times because I know I would want the same for my own pup! ☺️ I work full-time but since I work remotely, I have the flexibility to spend time taking care of furry loved ones. I can do some weekdays and have more availability on weekends. I have an apartment in a safe community close to the beach where I can take dogs for walks. I have a small outdoor space and a poodle mix who loves to play with others. ❤️
“Jennifer has been such a Pleasure to work with and i feel safe and secure leaving my beloved Axl with her. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their dog walker! Thanks for all your hard work Jennifer!”
“New to San Diego and without local contacts, I reached out to Dillon based on his reviews and bio. He has lived up to every aspect of professionalism- he’s prompt, responsive to my dog’s needs, takes cute pictures, and makes every walk an adventure for my dog. Dillon takes his duties seriously and is only a click away for a walk, with all his efforts demonstrating that he is dedicated to making this a successful career. He’s gone the extra mile to fill the water bowl after a long walk, bring a package in from the doorstep, and spend some chill time with my dog on the patio. I will continue booking him because his passion for pets is obvious. Thanks, Dillon!”
About: I’ve had a dog I raised for 11 years and currently have a 2yr old pup named Gary who loves to play! He is a lot of fun Currently have an open weekly schedule. I can take care of different dogs at different times in the day or night time. Just not too far away. I treat all dogs as if they are my own! I love my pup and watch them very closely. Try to reward them with treats of course!
About: Hello! My name is Natalie, and I’m so excited to join the Rover community. I’ve spent the past several years caring for animals through other platforms and for families in my local area, and I’m thrilled to bring that experience and passion here. Providing thoughtful, reliable, and loving care for pets is something I truly enjoy — it never feels like work to me! I’ve worked with nearly every kind of dog — from chihuahuas to German Shepherds — and love them all. Over the years, I’ve partnered with dozens of families to ensure their furry companions receive the best possible care while they’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I approach each pet with patience, compassion, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs, leash-reactive pups, and dogs who require special attention, medication, or senior care. My goal is always to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved — whether that means long walks, playtime, or cozy downtime together. I currently work part-time, which allows me plenty of flexibility and availability for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I typically work late afternoons to evenings a few days a week, which makes me a great fit for dogs who enjoy earlier walks and plenty of mid-day attention. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I maintain their routines closely. From feeding schedules and exercise to snuggle time and bedtime rituals. At home, I plan my day around each pet’s needs to make sure they always feel secure, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“So far I've used Sarah twice for walking my little Boston Obie and she's been great! He's getting some serious exercise in and I love having this option while I'm at work. I will definitely use her in the future?”
“Marian took great care of our Bruno. He was surprisingly welcoming and warmed up to her quick. She also stopped by with her children and they were very respectful with him”
Ocean Beach dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had an amazing experience with Kellie! She was reliable, communicative, and cared about our dog as if he was her own. When we came back, our dog was happy, exercised, and calm. Kellie was experienced, attentive, and genuinely loved being with our dog! We wouldn’t hesitate to book Kellie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Julia has been absolutely amazing with Penny! She took her on the longest walk while I was busy with work, and Penny came back happy, tired, and ready for bed, she loved every second. Julia has also stayed with Penny for a few days, sending constant updates and pictures which eases my mind. She is always making sure Penny never feels alone. She even lets her snuggle and be spoiled, which Penny absolutely adores. I can’t recommend Julia enough and will definitely be booking more walks and stays with her in the future!
We absolutely love Cher! She is always on time, super sweet, and truly amazing with our dogs. They adore her, and we feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. She goes above and beyond every time, and we will be using her for as long as she’ll have us! Highly recommend. 💙🐾
Andre is very professional, friendly and reliable. He has an open schedule which I appreciate and is good with last minute requests. My Frankie boy loves him and gives him a good walk which he needs (I’ve had some walkers only go a few blocks or so). Would recommend :)
Rebecca has been, an absolute lifesaver! I injured myself and was unable to walk or take my dog out and she has been so accommodating and communicative! She absolutely loves dogs and is such a calming presence for my anxious guy.I completely trust her with Bennett and will 100% be using her in the future!
Tyler provided excellent customer service for both me and my dog! He was professional and communicative throughout the process. He took my baby Koda on nice long walk and documented everything that went on in the app - I was really impressed with how thorough he was, but mostly with how Koda immediately took to him and trusted him! He was so loving and kind, you can tell he is a true animal lover. I will be calling Tyler again for sure!!
