“Hello! Audrey was fantastic! My fiancé and I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, they gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our cat, Anakin, felt comfortable and happy with her. We’re so grateful she took the time to stop by and care for him. Highly recommend her!”
“Kirra did a great job watching my cat! She was extremely flexible when I accidentally booked her for the wrong day and was able to come when I needed her anyway. I came home to a happy healthy cat and clean house. 5 out of 5 ⭐️”
About: I always loved animals but have been caring for dogs and cats for the last 10 years. My experience ranges from puppies to senior dogs requiring medication. I’m active and love to walk and play with them! I’m currently working part time so I have the flexibility to care for animals in my free time! My schedule can be sporadic but I keep my openings updated and communicate well. I am not a flaky person so rest assured I will follow through on our committed times. Having 2 cats myself, I pride myself on giving animals what they need to feel loved and fulfilled. I will keep your babies fed, loved, played with and keep your place tidy!
“Super easy to book with and showed up promptly and took the best pics. Thanks for the last minute drop in and communication. Definitely recommend hiring her to care for your fur babies.”
“Nick is fantastic! Right off the bat at our pre-care rundown meeting, Nick’s timeliness, energy, and true zeal for pet care were immediately evident. During my time away, Nick gave a call to report in and make sure everything was being completed as expected. I look forward to working with Nick again in my next trip away from home! Thank you again, Nick!!!”
“Amazing! We needed Deidre for some day time care on the 4th of July and she was so so amazing. We got a full run down and I was able to enjoy the day knowing Goose was in great care. We’ll definitely be using her again! Thanks Deidre :-)”
“Haylee was great! She developed a great rapport with our cat. Her photos were fantastic and you could really tell she was making our cat happy. We had an illness in the family and she was able to extend the duration of our service on short notice. We will use her again when we need a sitter.”
“Virginie was a lifesaver, accommodating our booking over the Thanksgiving holiday. She took excellent care of our kitties and ensured our tortoise stayed undisturbed in its slumber. Highly recommend her attentive and thoughtful pet care!”
About: Hi there, I’m Lauren! I have had pets going back to the time I was 6 years old when my family got our first cat and have been an animal lover ever since! I have adopted both cats and dogs over the years and would love the chance to take care of yours. Amongst my friends, I am known for my positive energy and aura that makes animals naturally gravitate towards me. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to adapt to your pets needs! I’m available most days of the week as long as I have advanced notice :) I’m very aware that different pets have different needs and can adjust to your pets lifestyle- ie. a puppy that has lots of energy or an elderly pet that may need to take it slow.
About: Hi, I’m Micki (Marian is my legal name)! My husband and I own a dog-friendly home in OB with a secure yard. We have 2 gentle, dog-savvy kids, ages 5 and 6. I work from home, and someone is almost always around. We’ve had dogs most of our lives, have fostered several, and have 4+ years of experience house sitting through another platform. Reviews from the other platform are in my photos. We currently don’t have pets and host only one household at a time. We love dogs of all kinds and will treat yours like part of the family—whether they need long walks, medication, special care or diet, or just lots of love and attention! **I do not require meet and greets, but happy to do meet and greets either in person or over video. We’ve cared for high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, dogs with medical needs, and newly rescued pups. Having completed a dog training program through Noble Dogs, I’d be glad to help reinforce training while your pup is with us. You can expect clear communication and lots of photo updates while your pup is with us. Discounts available for longer stays or multiple dogs from the same household. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for multiple walks a day and plenty of one-on-one time with your pup. My husband commutes to Mira Mesa and usually handles morning drop-off at our kids’ school just a few blocks away, while I do afternoon pickup around 5 p.m. I can often accommodate last-minute bookings and am happy to help with transportation if needed. My husband and I own a home in OB with a securely fenced yard, a dog door, and a fully dog-proofed space. We don’t use pesticides or keep any toxic plants, and our kids (ages 5 and 6) are well-trained in keeping gates and doors closed to keep pets safe. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and we secure the dog door whenever we’re not home. Inside, your dog will have free run of the house. They’re welcome to sleep in a crate (we have a large one available), in the living room, our bedroom, or on a dog bed - whatever matches your routine. For those with multiple pets, we can easily separate them at mealtimes or as needed for comfort and safety. We have easy street parking and can offer our driveway for drop-off and pickup if needed. For house sitting, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and leave your home exactly as I found it—clean and cared for. Depending on the length of the stay, I may need to bring the kids along, so please keep that in mind if requesting house sitting services.
“Rachel did a great job with our nervous and shy pup Odie and she does such a good job keeping us updated via the Rover card. We will definitely ask her take care of Odie in the future!”
About: I grew up on a small farm and have taken care of a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, etc… I love all animals and have a soft spot for taking care of seniors. I am reliable and good with potty training as well! My schedule is currently very flexible as I’m in a transitional phase of switching careers, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets :) I’m happy to visit your pet at your home & will keep you updated on them as you would like. I approach all animals with love, so they are comfortable with me🙂
About: I have always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets like they are my own. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or giving them extra love and comfort. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available most weekdays for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and care. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I personally have a dog, and follow feeding schedules, keep a clean environment, pay close attention during walks and playtime, and treat every pet with patience, love, and responsibility.
“Gabriel was super friendly, responsive, and flexible! He sent me photos of my dog out on their walks and of the meal he fed him in the evening. I would definitely book him again”
About: I grew up loving dogs and now I'm trying to convince my husband to let me get another dog 😂. I work from home and have a ton of free time so I'm looking for another friendly, fun dog for my 2 year old dog to play with during the day and go on walks and outdoor adventures with. We have a fenced-in yard so plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play but I go on multiple walks and trips to the park with my dog. I work 6am-2pm Mon-Fri and have a very flexible schedule. My afternoons typically consist of going for long walks and my weekends typically consist of going on a hike or long walk. I live in a house with a small fenced in yard and close to a park for plenty of outdoor adventure time! Since I work from home, the dogs will get plenty of love and care throughout the day.
“Heather was a fantastic sitter for our two cats! She stopped by around the same time every other day while we were gone and provided needed attention for our young kitten! She cleaned the litter and even helped pickup after the cats! Would definitely recommend for your pet sitting needs and will book again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities, including daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, litter box care, and giving plenty of attention and companionship. I’m currently working on my master’s at PLNU and have also been a Rover client for the past two years, so I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure to follow instructions so your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently pursuing my master’s at PLNU, which gives me a flexible schedule on most days. This allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to walking, feeding, and caring for pets. Whether it’s a regular daily walk, a drop-in visit, or house sitting, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they receive consistent attention and care. I treat every pet with care, attention, and respect, following their routines closely to keep them happy and comfortable. While in your home, I follow your instructions for feeding, playtime, walks, and any other needs, while making sure your space is respected and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have two amazing dogs at my parents house, we got them both as puppies so I am efficient with dogs of all ages, I love all kinds and am very loving with them.

We have a front yard, it is not fenced but our back yard is fenced and closed off and spacious! There are many dogs around our house as well so it is pet friendly
Ocean Beach pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emma did a great job caring for my senior kitty, Hazel. Second time booking and was very pleased again with the care she provided (daily updates, pictures, etc.) Was away for a week and felt very comfortable knowing Hazel was being so well cared for. Will book again in the future.
Elif is the best! This was the second time we’ve had her check in on our two cats and this was not the last time. She’s a delight, very communicative, and trustworthy. Before we left on our trip, she had a last minute commitment out of town but came to us with the option of a solution already. I really appreciated her finding a solution because she could have also just canceled. She takes her duty seriously and we appreciate her so much!
Tina was WONDERFUL! She was incredibly communicative and sent lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When our cat got sick, Tina came early the next morning to check on him, make sure he was okay, and kept us updated even more than usual. We were so grateful for her care, responsiveness, and attention during a stressful situation. I’m so glad we booked with Tina and would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat!
Christina is fabulous, she helped us watching our cats over the weekend and was very communicative, flexible with timing and went above and beyond for us. She kept us updated throughout the time and send photos of our cats, highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!!
Hello! Audrey was fantastic! My fiancé and I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, they gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our cat, Anakin, felt comfortable and happy with her. We’re so grateful she took the time to stop by and care for him. Highly recommend her!
Thank you Allison for taking care of Bo!! He loves you so much!! Alli is the best cat sitter. She made sure our Bobo was loved, fed, and took care of our home too. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands, and we came back to a very happy cat. We would absolutely have her watch Bo again.
