About: In my high school years I worked in a pet kennel, and since then have passionately looked after and walked neighbors’ dogs! As I cannot have a dog myself, I love to temporarily care for others! This is truly a passion of mine and signing up for Rover is simply out of a true desire to spend more time with pups ♥️🐶 On days I work from home, I’m available for short walks before working hours or over lunch. Weekend times are varied but also an option. Pets in my home are treated as my own. While I do my best to enforce my own rules (no paws on the couch or bed!) I respect others rules in their own home completely. As an avid runner and biker myself, I am strict with leash rules and safety for both dogs and those around them.
About: My family and I always owned/cared for pets while I was growing up. I personally raised my 10 year old half whippet/half pitbull from a puppy. I’ve always been happy to help out friends, family members, neighbors and roommates with pet care. I have professional experience at a doggy daycare/boarding facility. I’ve always had a passion for animals and stand firmly on animal rights. I want to provide a safe/trustworthy place for your pet. SKILLS: familiar dogs who have separation anxiety, oral medication, picky eaters, potty training, knowledge of dog behaviors & familiar with different breeds of dogs I enjoy caring for furry friends during my time off from my weekend restaurant job. I have a very flexible schedule. The only time I'm busy is Saturday and Sunday from 11am-4pm. Currently I have an indoor cat named Henry. As of now I am offering dog walking, home check ins and pet sitting/over night in the pet owners home. I consider myself very respectful and trust worthy as I have lots of experience with nannying in guests homes.
About: I've cared for pets countless times over the years 🐶, from family to strangers to close friends! I have experience with both calm and reactive dogs, and I’m familiar with common triggers and how to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe on every walk 🦴🐾. I'm a full-time college student 🎓, but my classes are fully remote with no required live lectures, giving me a super flexible schedule! If overnight care is needed, I can easily bring my laptop and get my work done while staying with your pup 🐕💻. There are always foster dogs coming and going in my home 🏠🐾, so I’m used to adapting quickly and staying super attentive to each pup’s unique needs. I’m mindful of my habits and surroundings to make sure accidents don’t happen, even when things could be unpredictable!
“Benicio did a fantastic job of taking care of both my dogs. He followed all the care instructions I left for him and gave my dogs lots of cuddles and ensured my home was tidied up after each visit. He gave constant updates and sent some of the cutest pics of my pups. Phenomenal sitter”
“Jordan has been doing a great job with Dexter. She's very reliable, always communicates clearly, and keeps me updated regularly. Dex is usually quite shy around new people, but he warmed up to her surprisingly quickly, which says a lot. I really appreciate the care and consistency she brings—it's been a big help.”
About: With 12 years of dog care experience and 2 years with cats, I’ve worked with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m happy to tailor every walk or visit to your pet’s needs, whether that’s a vigorous run, a beach adventure, or just lots of love and chill time. Your pet’s comfort and happiness come first! I work a few different jobs throughout the week, but I always make time for animals—I truly miss having more pet love in my life! My schedule is flexible, and I’m fully available on Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays. During the rest of the week, I can easily fit in walks and drop-ins around my shifts. Spending time with pets is something I genuinely look forward to, and I make sure each visit is never rushed and always full of care. When caring for pets in their home, I stick closely to your routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos.
About: I’m a retired medic and have training and experience in animal care, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, some small reptiles, mice and rats. I’ve got you! I’m a non-smoker and married so not looking to party. I will love your home and babies and I am very responsible. Please reach out I’d love to help if I can.

I generally care for animals in their home. I am flexible, I only prefer to come to your home because it’s easier on your pets. I will not bring my own pets unless requested.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and currently have a one and a half year old German shepherd dog named Jack. I’ve trained him with professional industries in person so I’ve picked up many skills and have great understanding on dog behavior. I love my dog and treat him as family and will also do the same for yours! I have a regular 8-5 job and am available to board in my home all week. Very flexible and available! I do live 2 minutes from where I work so dropping in during my work is very easy and I do have two hour lunches from 11 am to 1pm. I have a two story home with a super friendly German shepherd dog named Jack. I own two XL impact crates for the safety of my dog and your dogs when crated. I take dogs I board on walks in the morning, afternoon, and evenings. Depending on the dog I have a huge dog park down the road from where I live where I can take them to play and run off leash. I have a pet friendly home where dogs can be on couches and all areas of the home for their comfort!
About: Hey guys! My name is Anna and I've been raised around animals my whole life. From a young age I was raised around dogs, cats, and horses. The love I experienced for all these animals only grew in size as I became an adult. In highschool I had an Akita mix that I would often care for while my parents traveled and the best cat that has traveled the United States with me. The love I have for my own fur babies I promise to show to your four legged friends too! I work in digital marketing and am in the process of getting my real estate license. In my spare time I love to be active which is why dog walking became a wonderful side hustle to invest my time in. I will spend as much time as I can with your fur babies, giving them the same love and attention I would expect for my own cats and dogs.
“This is the first time I have used Rover.com and was somewhat apprehensive about it. I met Savannah and felt very confident she would take care of my beloved Leroy. She did a wonderful job and made my “away time” almost worry-free. I would certainly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Brandon! I’ve cared for dogs for 10+ years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I live in Oceanside near the beach and love giving dogs long walks and plenty of playtime. I treat every pet like my own and always send picture updates so you feel at ease while you’re away I work a flexible schedule and am available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, which makes caring for pets a natural part of my daily routine. After 3 p.m., I dedicate my time to dog walks, drop in visits, and giving each pup plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Living in Oceanside, I love taking dogs on safe neighborhood walks or enjoying beachside strolls for extra fun and fresh air. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to keep pets happy and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, timely meals, and plenty of exercise during each visit. I give lots of love and attention, send photo updates, and make sure your home is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your pets feel safe and cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve had pets most of my life and have always loved caring for animals. Growing up with dogs taught me how to be responsible, attentive, and patient. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, feeding, or getting them out for exercise, I make sure each pet feels safe and loved during our time together. I work Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet care in the evenings after work and throughout the weekends. Whether your pup needs a walk or a drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they feel loved and looked after during our time together. Since I’ll be caring for your pet in your home or during walks, I take every precaution to ensure their safety and comfort. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep your pet on-leash during walks, and make sure they’re comfortable and secure before I leave. You can count on me to treat your home and your pet with respect and care.

“Rachel has cared for my dog, Shadow, multiple times, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provides for him. Everytime Shadow arrives, he is very excited and well cared for. Rachel treats him like her own and is reliable, responsible, and always goes above and beyond to make sure Shadow feels comfortable and loved. He looks especially happy on his long sunset walks by the beach and I can see that through the daily updates I receive. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring and professional pet sitter or walker.”

Alaine S.
“Alaine would be a great one for walking dogs or caring for dogs big or small. She has adopted many dogs and found homes for many dogs. She enjoys being out doors and loves walking her dog.”
Victor L.
“Victor is the definition of a dedicated dog sitter. He took great care of my crazy dogs on short notice and charged barely anything for payment. Victor’s communication is excellent and he will provide periodic updates on how your pets are doing to ensure a worry free experience. Coming from someone who has had a couple bad experiences with other sitters in the past, it was a welcome change to have found a reliable, safe, and competent dog sitter to place my trust in. I recommend using his services without hesitation and will definitely be reaching out to him again for future dog day care!”
Anna V.
“Words wouldn’t do justice!! Anna has become part of the family and I wouldn’t want to (nor would my beloved Odie) have anyone else to care for him. She exceeds all expectations and is able to keep up with his hyper demeanor and my particular regimen.”

Brandon R.
“Brandon has been walking my big dog every morning, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and consistency he provides. He always arrives on time, greets my pup with genuine enthusiasm, and makes sure she gets a good mix of exercise and sniffing adventures. My dog can be reactive with other dogs, and Brandon handles those situations calmly and confidently, keeping her safe and relaxed when passing others. I also appreciate the detailed updates after each walk sharing her mood, route, and little moments from their time together. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such capable and caring hands.”
Jocelyn Q.
“Jocelyn is the kind of person every pet parent dreams of finding. While I was overseas, she took amazing care of my cat, sending updates, keeping her happy, and treating her like her own. Jocelyn is incredibly responsible, attentive, and full of genuine love for animals. I had complete peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in her care. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Oceanside pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is the first time that we have ever used Rover. We’ve always had family watch our kitties, and we were very hesitant about the site. Once we found Savannah and read her bio, reviews, her experience with cats we knew we found our future pet sitter. The instant I met Savannah I knew that I made the right decision. She is down to earth, cares deeply about pets and makes you feel very comfortable. She kept us updated the during the 10 days that we were gone and it made us feel at ease while we were on vacation. Our cats tend to be elusive but she was able to get at least one pic for us lol. We will definitely be using Savannah in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take excellent care of your furbabies :)
We had an excellent experience with Riley. She is professional, reliable, and always quick to respond to any questions. We really appreciated the daily updates and adorable pictures of our cats, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We would gladly book her services again and highly recommend her to any pet owner. Thank you so much Riley!
Justin is fantastic! He is SO thorough and thoughtful. My girl Pickle is a puppy, and he sent multiple photos of her, gave detailed notes, and even gave updates on how she was doing with some commands he was working on with her. If you want someone who’s got great experience and will care for your pup like they’re his own, Justin is it. I will definitely use Justin again in the future and hope to become a regular client of his!
Jordan has been doing a great job with Dexter. She's very reliable, always communicates clearly, and keeps me updated regularly. Dex is usually quite shy around new people, but he warmed up to her surprisingly quickly, which says a lot. I really appreciate the care and consistency she brings—it's been a big help.
Anna was great!!!!! I can not thank her enough. She came before and let my husband explain Ginger's special needs. She was super flexible l. I needed to change the drop time three times and she was very helpful. I recommend her 100% and I think my doggie has a new sitter! 👍👍👍👍💕😊
Estella took very good care of our cat Dusti during her drop-in visits. She gave us daily updates with pics and had no trouble giving him his asthma inhaler. He liked her so much he gave her his “Paw of Approval”. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby Estella!
