About: I grew up in the small town of Valley Center and have been around animals all of my life. From dogs and cats to horses and sheep, I have worked with them all. I love animals of all sizes and would love to show care and love for your animal when you need it. I have raised puppies and had senior dogs. Worked with all types of livestock. I was in FFA in high school and raised cattle and sheep and was an officer. I work a job 5 days a week but will work around my main job. I start that job early at 5 am, so I'm open to early afternoons and evenings. Can do very early if needed, and closer to on my way to work. I will treat everyone's home like my own or like my best friends or sisters home. every pet will be treated as my own and get to know them so we both can be safe and happy.

About: I have volunteered at the humane society for about 2 years in total. I have had pets since I was 3. I was going to school to become a vet but schooling just got too spendy. I will love your babies as if they are my own I swear to you. I currently am unemployed so I am available to house sit, walk, play, or do anything you need me to for your pets whenever you need!! I have a fenced yard with fake grass. I live with one dog and two cats. I will feed them according to whatever you tell me but with my own pets they usually get small meals throughout the day. My cats are indoor only as well but can go outside with supervision.
About: Being the mother of my own fur-child in the past, I know how much your pets mean to your family. I am willing to help with frequent walks, feeding, play and activities and also vacation pet sitting. I adore all dogs ... breeds, size, age or medical condition doesn't matter. Since I haven't adopted another dog since mine passed over the rainbow bridge last year, I take great joy in taking care of other peoples dogs to fill that space only a puppy can fill. I'll be their "Aunt Holly"! And I promise I will take care of them like they are my own. My day job is done remotely, so I'm able to work from wherever I'm at during the day... even at your home with your pups as my assistants. We will be able to take our breaks outside or go for a walk or even play together. My time is very flexible.
“I am so happy that my daughter found Tamara to help me with my pets. She is so sweet and kind with them, and me! She is a keeper and I definitely will be using her again and again.”

“I was surprised by how much I like Joshua as a dog sitter. I’ve been using Rover for 3 years, and have liked all my sitters, but Josh is the best. I have 2 dogs that I spoil, so they can be a little… sensitive? I arranged a ‘meet & greet’ with Josh, and the dogs loved him. Josh is really caring and professional, and asked all the right questions about keeping them happy while I’m away. His head and heart are really in this. It’s great having a sitter who I trust, who’s really reliable. ?”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I also live on a farm where I care for a variety of animals, which has given me hands-on experience understanding different personalities, temperaments, behaviors, and individual care needs. I know that no two animals are the same, and I take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. In addition to my hands-on animal experience, I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and knowledge of behavioral principles that I apply when working with dogs, including positive reinforcement, consistency, recognizing behavioral cues, and encouraging appropriate behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, as well as puppies and dogs who may need additional patience, structure, or reassurance. I understand how important it is to completely trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime or prefers cuddles and a quiet companion, I’ll provide care based on their individual personality and routine—not a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m also happy to reinforce training routines you already use at home and carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and daily care. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away, and I’ll keep you connected with regular updates and photos for extra peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding, walking, potty, playtime, and bedtime schedules. I’m available for both weekday and weekend care and will communicate clearly with you regarding scheduling and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before their stay. I provide a clean, comfortable and supervised environment with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and downtime. I never assume two pets have the same needs and will always follow the care instructions you provide. I also believe communication builds trust, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care.

Because of my own pack, I’ve become well-versed in handling everything from energetic play sessions to slow, relaxing walks, and I know how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I also have experience with multi-dog households, administering medications, and making sure feeding schedules and routines are followed carefully. I treat every dog I meet as if they were my own. When your pup is in my care, you can trust that they’ll receive not only reliable attention, but also genuine affection and companionship. I believe communication is key, so I make sure to provide updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets are part of your family, and when they’re with me, they become part of mine too. 🐾 Caring for pets is already a big part of my daily life!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
