About: I used to sit for a German family, whether it was date night, or when they left the country to visit their family. They were always so grateful they could trust me. They have moved out of state and I miss it. Let me take care of your furry baby like my own. I work M-Thurs, Friday I work from home, from 8am-5pm. I can do weekends or after work. If its house sitting then I would stay in your home. I will follow instructions on how you want me to take care of your pet, I know pets can get anxious and miss their family. I will try my best to offer comfort and familiarity.

About: Hello 👋🏻 My name is Kaylee and I’ve been a professional pet sitter for about 5 years now. Over the course of those 5 years I’ve cared for all of the following animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, rabbits and horses. I’m in college getting an animal science degree and I’ve worked with a wide age range of animals. From puppies all the way to senior dogs and kittens all the way to elderly cats. *please know that while my listed prices are accurate additional surcharges may apply. (All prices will be disclosed before booking) I don’t have a job outside of pet care at the moment so I have plenty of availability (including during standard work hours/weekdays). I do have college classes and the occasional appointment during the week, with these being blocks of time I will need to leave the clients home to attend (which will be discussed ahead of time). However aside from that I have a plethora of time available to dedicate solely to your pet(s). *jobs that are “constant care” and/or have strict rules regarding how long the pet(s) can be left alone MAY incur a surge charge. I haven’t had a pet escape or get lost on my watch yet, and I don’t plan to start now. My childhood dog escaped once as kid, and even thought he was quickly found, it made me realize the horror of potentially losing a pet. As a result, I take pet safety very seriously. I will not walk a dog without a leash. I always double and triple check that doors are closed/locked (when appropriate).

About: I've never not had a pet (or five) at home. Primarily cats and dogs, but my brothers were known to bring home a lizard every now and then. I can run and exercise your dog or just love on them and take them outside. I have no problem staying at your house - it's often the best way to make sure your dog is comfortable! I understand the special needs that older dogs and puppies have. I have a wide variety of experience - from my own animals, to other peoples' pets as well as professional animal training experience. I will help you leave your beloved animal in good hands so you can enjoy your time away and return home to a happy pet! I'm currently working freelance and remotely. So I am able to spend most of my time with your animals, and give them as much attention as they need. I have been staying at other poeples' homes to watch their animals for a few years now. I'm very respectful of your home and belongings. I do think it is the best way to make the animals feel comfortable. Even the shy ones have the comfort of "home court advantage", and it helps them warm up faster.

About: Reliable, patient, and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, walks, feeding, playtime, and basic training. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Because of my military schedule, I’m primarily available for pet care on evenings and weekends. I’m dependable and flexible during those times and can work with your pet’s routine to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I treat every home and pet with respect and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while their owners are away.

“Luciana made time during her busy schedule for a final visit before her big stay coming up next month with our two fur babies. We spent the hour reviewing care instructions for our two dogs while will be away, Luciana took meticulous notes, asked great questions, and identified items we hadn't thought of that will certainly come up during her stay. She also prioritized making sure we agreed on a emergency plan should the need arise. We are feeling very relaxed and at ease about leaving our girls in Luciana's kind and careful hands while we are away.”

“Paige went above and beyond as a sitter for our cats. One of our cats began having urinary issues and she discovered spots of blood all over the house. She offered to take the cat to the vet on our behalf, but we were able to get home from our travel plans and take care of him ourself. She provided ample communications and safety for our cats.”

“Jess was an absolute dream. Jess was prompt, communicative, and so wonderful with our kitties! We got to kick back and fully enjoy our vacation with not a care in the world! Jess’ experience as a vet tech was such a source of comfort, as we usually kind of worry about our geriatric cat, but not this time! I knew that if anything happened, Jess would know what to do. The cats seemed genuinely disappointed when it was us returning home, and not Jess coming for playtime. I’m sure they’ll get used to us again, but it only seems fair that we book another visit so they can spend time with their new best friend! Thank you, Jess!!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Palomar Mountain

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 3,645 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palomar Mountain. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palomar Mountain. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
