About: I’ve always had a dog and have taken care of family and friends’ dogs of all different ages, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I love making dogs feel loved when their owners are away on trips. I go to school Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during the day, but I am available during the evenings. Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays I am available anytime to care for your pet! I provide care in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether I'm house sitting, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking dogs on walks, I always follow each owner's instructions and keep their pet's normal routine. I make safety a top priority by ensuring doors and gates are secure, and using provided leashes and harnesses during walks. I provide fresh water, meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention to ensure they’re not only cared for but feel loved. I also treat every client's home with care and respect, keep the space clean, and provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.

“Jeanine was extremely thorough in the initial meet and greet with our animals. We really appreciated her attention to detail and loved all the pictures she sent with updates each visit. We would definitely recommend her to someone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.

About: I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I used to have an Abyssinian cat and Jack Russell terrier as pets. My son and I have been doing Trusted House Sitters for two years. I'm working from home. I'm available after 2 pm on weekdays for coming in and all day on weekends. I can stay overnight too. I can't have pets at my place, but I follow the rules you provide at your place. I'm a genuine and responsible person.
“They were awesome. My dog had a blast. She came home very well walked and very happy. I appreciated the promptness in which they responded to my request for services. Will definitely look into using them in the future”

I can’t wait to meet you and your dog(s) wagging tail(s) My mom used to work at a school and asked me to take care of our two dogs for the day while she was gone. I made sure they had food, water, went to the restroom and had lots of fun! I treat all the dogs we have like they’re my child. I take care of them to make sure they live long happy lives! It’s nice to cuddle with them.
“Sarah was the best! She walked our dog, Bella, for a few weeks. Bella can be tough to walk, and Sarah made it look easy. Bella absolutely loved her and waiting for her by the window each day. Will definitely book Sarah again!”

This is my third , flexible job that gives me opportunity to choose more shifts rather it be morning, afternoons, or weekends! Hoping to earn some extra christmas cash for the family!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My sky girl and I went to many behavioral dog training course and we completed the advanced classes. Our puppy is currently learning and being trained! As dog parents we know the training never ends! Our pups are part of our daily life! We like to go for car rides, walks around the park or neighbor hood. Lots of ball play and chase around the house. Our Doberman could play ball all day. In the evening, we like to relax together, watch a movie near the fire or just cuddles on the couch or bed. We have a home with a fenced front and back yard. Our GSD loves to relax in the front and keep track of what’s going on. Our puppy runs around everyone and everything like the energizer bunny.
“Sofya is a wonderful match for our puppy, Bowie. Sofya is very professional and sends us the best pictures of our pup. She has been very flexible and understanding with us as well. We highly recommend her services!”

About: I spent three wonderful years working at a veterinarian hospital, where I developed a deep affection for dogs. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I cherish the opportunity to care for and enjoy the company of the pups we host. I have experience in medication management, seniors, and even disabled pups. i only work 3 days a week at a level one trauma hospital in the operating room. I’m able to make my schedule 2 months in advance which helps out with future vacation dates you may need. I’m big on being outdoors so we will be taking many walks depending on your schedule at home. I have a small side yard however, I live within 5 minutes of walking to an awesome park that I go to daily. You won’t have to worry about exercise in my neighborhood.
About: I've been a dog owner for my entire life, attending dog training classes as early as 6 y/o. In the past, I shared responsibility for 2 family dogs (a Doberman and Springer Spaniel). I also have my own puppy, a friendly little mini-poodle named Peri! I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for 8+ years, and offering services on Rover for over a year now. I love all dogs and I will work to meet a variety of needs, from high energy puppies to elderly/disabled dogs. I don’t have a lot of experience with cats, but I’m happy to learn. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Right now I have a very open schedule to dedicate to pet care. I take classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at IVC, and work at Mission Hospital on weekends. Communication with clients is my #1 safety priority. I will ask questions to determine how to best care for each individual pet. I try to maintain a sense of normalcy/ routine to keep pets calm in what could be an otherwise stressful situation.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Poway. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Poway.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Poway. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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.
