About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with very different needs and personalities, especially through my own dogs, Lu and Kaia. My senior dog Lu had a very particular personality and needed gentle, patient care and consistent routines to stay comfortable and happy. Caring for her taught me how important it is to truly understand each dog as an individual. I’ve also cared for Kaia after surgery, helping her through recovery with medication schedules, limited activity, and lots of supervision and encouragement. It was really rewarding seeing her regain her energy and get back to her playful, spunky self. My sweet dog Lu recently passed at 16, and she inspired the way I care for animals today. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and treat every pup like my own. I’m especially comfortable with senior care, recovery needs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I am new to Oceanside and I currently have open availability. I’m more than happy to watch your pup on weekends, weekdays mornings or evenings. I provide care in your home so your dog can stay in their familiar environment and routine while you’re away. This helps reduce stress and keeps them comfortable in a space they already know and love. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and focused on following your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I always make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and well looked after while maintaining a calm and consistent presence. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for responsibly in their own space, with attention to their needs and comfort.

“Karli made my first Rover experience seamless and stress free, despite me having to book short notice when my normal gal called in sick. I was so appreciative of her flexibility to help me make it work and she was so sweet and thorough. She even made sure my cats got some attention during her visits which just shows how much she loves animals. I will definitely reach back out to Karli if I need any help in the future!”

“Rachel is the best!! She’s responsive and caring. Our dog loved her and had the best time on their walks together. She provided multiple photos from each walk and included notes. We will definitely be asking Rachel to walk our dog again!”

Laura S.

“Nikki is amazing! She was responsive and communicated very well before, during and after the stay. She followed all instructions well, and went above and beyond to spend more time with Kodi and help him during his walk when he was a little nervous. You can tell she has a great love of animals and passion for this, and our doggy was happy and well when we returned. We would highly recommend Nikki and would gladly have her take care of Kodi again next time we needed it.”

About: I've taken care of my own doggo Ripley for 8 years, prior to that many pets in the family growing up. Your pet will be treated like family, receive all the snuggles, exercise, walks, and play time! Must get along okay with other dogs - Ripley is a 15 lb Chihuahua/terrier mix, she loves small and medium sized dogs. We go for long walks everyday ~20-30 min 2x per day. I currently work from home for a software company so I am with the dogs all day! We always walk in the morning after breakfast, a mid-day potty, and sunset walk. I have a fenced yard so they can sun bathe as well during the day while I am working. I have a fenced yard and live in a neighborhood. We go for long walks and they get to smell all the yards and flowers and say hello to other dogs. We will sometimes go to the beach too.

“We had a really great experience with Justin. The photos he sent were highly appreciated and I could tell they had a great walk together. Super super thankful that I’ve found someone I could trust when I have to be gone for long periods of time.”

About: I have owned a dog for my entire life, and I love the opportunity to make sure that other people’s pets receive the care they need; I genuinely love giving dogs the best life possible. I can handle dogs of any size, and my home is dog-friendly. Whether it’s a short walk or a full-day’s stay, I will make sure your dog is cared for and loved. Please do not hesitate to communicate any special needs, as I want to make sure they are happy and feel comfortable being with someone who is not their owner. I am currently taking a break between career transitions, and Rover is part of how I’m able to make a sustainable living. I have a very flexible schedule to fit care in however is best for you and your pup! I live in a spacious apartment that allows dogs. My husband and I own a duck tolling retriever who is great with other dogs — he gets three walks and at least one off-leash beach or park trip a day, so we are very used to making sure dogs got enough activity. We can crate and keep your dog on leash as needed. FYI - My husband is in some of the pics on my profile as we often care for dogs and our dog together.

About: Hi, I’m Bailey! I’m an experienced pet caregiver returning to Rover after previously offering dog walking and pet sitting during college. I built wonderful relationships with recurring clients and their pets, and I’m excited to be accepting a limited number of new clients again. I’ve loved and cared for animals since childhood and have experience with dogs, cats, and pets with detailed routines. I’m patient, attentive, and safety conscious, and I take pride in making sure every pet feels cared for, comfortable, and understood. I also have experience with basic dog training and leash handling, and I’m especially mindful of each dog’s temperament, energy level, and individual needs. My care style is calm, reliable, and communicative. I’m happy to provide photo updates, detailed notes, and follow your pet’s routine closely so you can feel confident while you’re away. I’m currently offering dog walking and drop in visits with flexible daytime availability. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I require a meet-and-greet for new clients and only accept dogs who are a good fit for my care style. I’m best suited for dogs with manageable leash manners, no bite history, and no severe reactivity toward people or other animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently have flexible daytime availability and am happy to help with one-time or recurring dog walks. I’m especially open to finding a consistent weekly routine with families who are a good fit. I’m currently focusing on dog walking only. I like to make walks feel safe, calm, and enjoyable for each dog, so I always appreciate clear instructions about your dog’s routine, personality, and walking preferences. For new clients, I prefer a meet-and-greet first so everyone feels comfortable before booking.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love them (sometimes more than people haha). Breeders have trusted me to nurse their dogs and puppies back to health, and I have experience caring for both young puppies and senior dogs with special needs. Since my latest beloved dogs, Jacques and Jinger, passed on, I have found so much joy in welcoming other wonderful animals into our lives. We are a young couple living in the heart of Oceanside, CA, within a very pet friendly community. A dog beach and walkable city area are nearby in addition to trails and parks, and we enjoy exploring with our visiting pals. As a professional photographer, I also often enjoy taking and sharing free, high quality photos of our furry friends, in addition to the usual updates with phone snaps that I send during our time together. It is our general rule to only care for one family at a time, so your pet will have the exclusive attention and focus while in my care, ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Every dog is not just a dog but a member of the family. I understand every animal has their own personality and individual needs, and I would love to take care of, play, walk, and love on yours and hope to become their friend. I work mostly from home and love caring for dog friends on my available days. I only host pets from one family at a time to make sure each visitor receives the best care and attention during their stay with us. For walks or drop-in visits my schedule is quite flexible. If a pup is with me for the day we will likely do a good amount of walking and play, I'll ensure they are provided water and any other details for their care is followed, and we'll simply have a fabulous day together :) We live in a very dog-friendly community with walking trails, parks, the ocean, and a dog beach nearby that we love exploring with our visiting pals, (with owner permission of course). Also, an emergency pet hospital is just 5 minutes away if ever needed, though thankfully we have never had to use it.

About: I have taken care of my sweet girl Sweetie for 4 years, and have prior experience with cats, as well as bunnies. I'm always making sure that any animal no matter how big or small is well taken care of and loved for. Pet care fits into my every day routine. I take my dog on nice long walks to get her energy out, I am able to take care of her throughout the day, and even when I'm busy, I make sure to take extra good care of her to make sure her needs are met. I would be responsible for feedings and walking, making sure they get enough play time and attention, and making the owners and pets feel safe.

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life. I grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, even that weird teenage phase where I decided to adopt a rat. I am patient and can read your pet’s cues. Last minute bookings are ok! I work from home full-time and make my own schedule. I am pretty much always available unless already booked. I work as a writer and make extra income doing what I love - taking care of animals. I am extremely mindful and tidy. Whether it’s a drop-in or overnight stay, you can trust me to keep your home clean, and your pet happy.
