“Samantha is great as always! She was able to do a last minute set of drop-ins for us which is highly appreciated. The cats love her and she is very detailed in their care.”

Mira C.

“Aydin was super responsive and eased my worries! It can be scary as a doggy parent to trust someone with your puppers and she did a great job of checking in on my dogs, making sure they were fed and happy. Would definitely rebook her again!!”

About: Hello friends and neighbors! I have a three year old lab named Nala who is super friendly and energetic! She always keeps me on my feet and is the best adventure buddy! I have dog sat and helped care for friend’s and family dogs for over 10 years and have a deep rooted love for them! I am currently in school 3 days a week so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am most available during the week but with some notice I can make weekends work as well. I love to explore with the dogs so if there are parks close by or they have favorite places to walk we can make that happen!

About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds from dachshunds to pit bulls. Caring for them for as long as 17 years. I have administered insulin for diabetic dogs. I've nurtured elderly dogs with hearing loss, paralysis and incontinence. All dogs deserve care, compassion and plenty of love. They will be with me in the home, relaxing and enjoying the day. We'll go out for multiple walks a day, weekly hikes and various adventures. Dogs have the ability to roam freely within the home and in the securely fenced backyard. There is a doggy door that accommodates up to a large dog.

“Citlalic was an excellant sitter for my cat Bella. She followed my instructions perfectly and I came back to a happy, healthy furbaby. It is rare for sitters to see Bella let alone pet her but Citlalic was able to do both and sent me photos to prove it. I was shocked. Overall Citlalic was great and we would hire her for drop-in visits again and again.”

About: I have owned all kinds of animals my whole life and I’m very passionate about making sure you animal is in the best hands. I’ve also house sat and taken care of other animals. I am still in school so weekend availability is best. Any kind of service that fits into my schedule would be happily taken care of. I have a lot of animals including a free roam rabbit so more gentle dogs would be ideal. I have a huge yard and plenty of time in the afternoon for walks and playtime.

About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs and have had my own dogs for 25 plus years my son and I donate our time at dog shelters often and I just really love pets So I have Sunday and Mondays off but I work from home Tuesday to Saturday and have a very flexible schedule. I’m up at 5am and free most the AM until 7/8 am I have breaks and lunches during the day and free again after 5pm I have cameras on my property but also can update with pics and videos as requested as often as possible for the owner of the pet

About: Growing up in the country, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahua's to larger, and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit-bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their exercise routines, feeding habits, and personality quirks. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. I have demonstrated and learned all these factors through the San Diego Humane Society and my Dad (dog trainer). Rounded up I have five years of experience with various sizes and breeds, making knowledge, communication, and compassion key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all types of dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior challenged dogs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the animals in my care. As a graduated student, I have the freedom to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I schedule feeding times, walks, and play sessions around my coursework, giving each pet the structure they need while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. Having free weekends also allows me to dedicate more time to pets, who need consistent attention or engagement. I use my time for exercise, mental stimulation, or grooming, depending on the pet’s needs. My focus on time management ensures that pets are always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into my routine. Whether it’s providing a calm and nurturing environment during the week or engaging in more active care on weekends, I ensure that pet care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, allowing me to meet the needs of every animal I care for. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, nurturing, and comfortable environment that fosters trust and well-being. Safety is my top priority, which includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, removing hazardous items, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses and supervise them closely to protect them from potential dangers like traffic. Building trust with pets is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, creating a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, spending quality time playing, or offering soothing companionship during quiet moments, I ensure they feel valued and cared for. The environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their established routines and follow their care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for the pet. Ultimately, my approach combines attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.

“Vanessa took great care of our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. She sent updates and communicated as needed, including expressing concern that the house was too warm for our kitty. We also had an ant invasion while we were gone, but Vanessa took initiative to clean them up and put out our ant traps. I wouldn't hesitate to have her sit for us again!”

Warmly, Jasmine Pet care is truly part of my daily life! Since I work from home full-time as a hospital administrator, I have the flexibility to provide constant care, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Our routine includes regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding schedules, and lots of cuddle time.

I follow each pet’s routine closely—including feeding, medication administration, walks, and play—to keep things familiar and stress-free.

I respect the client’s home by keeping it clean and secure and updating them regularly with photos and messages to keep them connected while away.

“What a great sitter Anna is!!! She is incredible communicative and flexible with scheduling. I appreciated how much she was willing to go above and beyond.”

“Overall, Bianca did a good job dropping in to take care of my cats. Lots of updates and photos which were nice. There were a couple of things I noticed though for future clients to be aware of: 1. She brought two young children with her to the drop-in visits which was not discussed with me prior to the booking or visits. Thankfully, my pets are okay with kids but I know that is not always the case with pets and there are properties that may not be considered “kid friendly”. 2. The drop-in visit care instructions requested the cat litter boxes be cleaned at least once a day. This was not done on 2 of the days we had booked because they “didn’t look bad”. I don’t believe care instructions should be open to Rover sitter interpretation unless specifically stated by the client.”

I ensure a safe and loving environment for all pets in my care, treating each one as if they were my own. My daily routine allows me to dedicate ample time to play, exercise, and provide personalized care, ensuring that every pet gets the attention they deserve.

I've already been transporting dogs and cats with their owners for a couple of years now, and I've gotten wonderful feedback about the level of comfort their furry friends experience during transport! When your pet is in my care, they will be safe and well looked after. I keep a close eye on them and provide secure spaces for playing. I believe trust is important, so I communicate with pet owners to give them peace of mind. Your pet will get personal attention, lots of love, and fun activities, making their time with me enjoyable and stress-free. You can be confident that I will create a friendly and positive atmosphere for all pets!

About: I've lived with dogs and cats ever since the day I was born. They're members of the family. Pets deserve all the love and attention in the world, so it's important to make every day special for them. I adopted my first kittens and pups from shelters around 5 years ago, and it taught me how much time and responsibility it takes to raise them. I looked after my friend's 2 dogs for a whole week, and made sure they were properly fed and loved until their humans came back home. I'm currently staying at home with my family while studying, so my schedule is very flexible to spend time with your fur kids! I am available every day except for Tuesdays and Fridays before 3pm. It's important to start off the day letting the pups go outside to go potty and play then bring them back inside for their breakfast. After waiting a safe amount of time to digest I like to spend time and play with the dogs a bit and make sure they have plenty of water throughout the day. In the evening they will have dinner and be let outside to do their business.
