“Lindsay was amazing! I’m a first time user of Rover and just moved to SD. I was a bit nervous for this first visit but Lindsay made sure to answer all my questions, actively communicated, and really made me feel at ease with the first home visit. She was patient with my dog who is having some mild adjustment issues to his new environment. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”


About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have raised two cats from kittens over the past 5 years and have hands-on experience caring for pets with medical needs, including giving medications and insulin injections. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and family, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and overnight care. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. I work remotely on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, allowing me to provide pet care throughout the day, including walks, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I work in the office but maintain a flexible schedule and am available for morning, evening, and many midday visits. I am also available most weekends and am happy to work with pet parents to accommodate their pets’ routines and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can walk and crate dogs if needed and am experienced in following established routines. I also have experience caring for shy cats and understand the importance of patience and respecting their boundaries. I strive to create a calm, stress-free environment and will keep you updated throughout my time with your pet.
“Jack took such good care of my Maine Coons. He was super communicative, sent me lots of updates & photos, and made sure they were well set up with extra water when their fountain quit working. I came home to. Some very happy kitties!”

“Marta was wonderful with Murphee! She walked her and sent updates at every visit letting me know she was taken great care of her. Highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!”

About: Growing up in Texas, I was lucky enough to always be surrounded by pets. I’ve had Dogs, Cats, Goats, Ducks, Chickens and a Bearded Dragon! You can ensure that I have well rounded experience with pets and love them all! Because being prior active duty means lots of last minute trips/emergencies, I have lots of experience caring for other’s beloved pets. I have been caring for pets for 8 years on/off and have 3 of my own! I’m currently off school for the summer and am available most days!! I’m excited to care for your fur babies! If I have a date blocked off you might need, message me to see if we can work around the time! Excited to hear from you :) I am an avid instruction follower and will do as much or as little as required! I’m comfortable with pet language, administering medicine and will not hesitate to communicate any questions or concerns.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. Having a pet is one of the most sacred relationships in life. Their love and loyalty is unmatched. I can handle dogs of any size or any age. I am a genuine, whole hearted person who loves spending time outside. Once you meet me, you will know immediately that your pet is in safe hands. My German Shepherd Siberian Husky Mix passed away just over a year ago. He was 14 months old when I rescued him from a shelter in Northern California. I rescued him but in reality, he rescued me. He lived just past his 10th birthday. We did everything together and he will be greatly missed forever. Before Chips, I was the pet owner to two chihuahuas for 15 years. My family also had cats in the household. My energy is very receptive to all animals especially dogs. I will take great care of your pet(s) and always lead with love.
“Paige took great care of my cat Lime. She was very detail oriented, communicative, and reliable. She went even further and cleaned the apartment before I returned. Thank you, Paige. I hope I can ask you to take care of Lime again in the future.”

About: I have owned and taken care of all kinds of dogs throughout my life! I have walked, dog sat, and fed for families before! One of my biggest loves in life in my dog Lilo, and probably your dog too. I am currently not working, as I am home for the summer from college so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available most days of the week and weekends. In a clients home I like to honor the systems and rules that their household has in place. If that is making sure the dog is supervised, or taking extra precautions while taking walks, I try to ensure the environment is always safe and comfortable for the dog!
“Kristina is so amazing with my Frenchie Gus! She’s super communicative about how the walk went, and always super quick to respond. She always takes into consideration how hot it is with how far to walk. I love having her to help take care of Gus on days I work and he’s always happy as can be when I come home!”

Pacific Beach pet parents share their Rover experiences
Superb pet sitting! Matthew and his girls won over our finicky feather-babies and got them to eat very well! We loved the action pics of them taking wonderful, loving care of our babies! Highly recommend Matthew+Gabrielle. We have them booked again for 2 weeks this Summer. THANK YOU ALL! Budd & Matt, Lola & Bleu.

Rachel was wonderful checking in on our cat throughout a long weekend when we were traveling! He loved her visits, and she took great care of him making sure he was comfortable by checking his food, litter, toys. We got thorough visit reposts and cute photos for each visit. We’re hopeful Rachel is available next time we need pet check ins, such a great experience!

I couldn’t recommend Paulette enough! She is so kind, responsive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My cats adore her and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands. Every time I come home they are happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She also sends the best photos and videos while I’m away which I always look forward to. My house is always cleaner than when I left it when I return. Paulette is truly wonderful, I am so happy I found her.

Very much recommend Robert for any drop-in or walking needs! I was looking for help letting my dogs out several times a day over the course of a week and I was really happy with my experience. Robert was reliable, attentive to their routines / special instructions and very communicative about when he was coming by, which made it easy to coordinate. Overall, it was a great experience, and I really appreciated his help.
