“Leigh was the absolute best! She followed our instructions to the T, sent numerous updates and pictures, and even let our furbabies sleep with her. I can't say enough great things about her. Can't wait to have her back next time.”
About: Over the years, I’ve taken care of all my friends dogs. I’m currently the lead babysitter for my landlord’s chihuahua. I’d love to meet your pup today! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, so I’ll be able to prioritize your pets! It’s enriching work for me. I will adhere to whatever rules you have for your pet in their environment. I will only walk them in safe designated areas, and am extremely attentive.
“Terra did an amazing job with Maisy. I had to hire unexpectedly at the last minute and she was so quick to respond and had great communication, she was also flexible with her schedule in order to accommodate mine. She sent tons of pictures which I appreciate too! I will definitely reach out to her for my future trips to San Diego.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was young, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. I currently have two adorable kittens (10 and 11 months old), and they bring so much joy to my home! I’d love the opportunity to help care for your furry family member in any way I can. As someone serving in the military, I’m highly reliable, organized, and able to stick to a schedule, ensuring your pet is always in great hands. I am experienced with cats, so your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention! I’m currently in the military during the weekdays, that’s what my schedule is Thursday through Sunday. That’s typically when I have more leeway to be able to ensure that your pets will have the best care. For my cats, they roam free around the house. I have an automatic litter box. Automatic food and automatic water and all the toys that they desire.

“Belinda is AMAZING. I had some many neighbors text me while I was gone saying they loved her and she was taking such good care of my pup. She took him for all the walks and play dates at our community dog park with his friends. She will also send you amazing pics of your fur baby! I can’t recommend Belinda enough! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with six years of experience. I volunteered at the SPCA of Monterey County for 124 hours and currently work at a local Animal Center in San Diego. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and energy levels. I treat every pup like my own family, ensuring that they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention while you are away. I currently work at an animal shelter/center. I work 8 hour shifts 4 days of the week (days vary). The other days I spend taking dog & house sitting jobs or babysitting jobs. During the days I am at the animal shelter I leave the house at 10am and return at 7pm. On days I am not at the shelter I stay at the house with your pup and the maximum time I’d be away is 3 hours a day (unless told otherwise by owner). Dogs will get daily walks, meals, and meds (if needed) as instructed by their owner. I try to include the dogs in my daily activities. For example, choosing to sit with them while I reply to work emails or answer work calls.
“Cristen is absolutely incredible!! Literally everything you would want in the person taking care of your fur baby. She stayed with our 13 week old puppy at our house and he was so happy and well cared for!! Her communication is top notch and I always felt informed and in the loop on how my puppy was doing. 10/10 best sitter ever!!!”
About: Growing up with cats and dogs has shaped who I am and given me a lifelong love for animals. I know how important pets are to their families, and I want you to feel completely at ease while you're away, knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets, pets with disabilities, and those who need a little extra attention or special care. I'm happy to follow specific routines and instructions to make sure your pets feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you're gone! Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or your cat would rather curl up next to me for some attention, I'm happy to meet each pet where they're most comfortable. I know every animal has its own personality, and getting to know those little quirks is one of my favorite parts of caring for them! I graduated high school a few months ago and have decided to take a gap year to figure out what major I would like to pursue. Currently I have no part time or full time jobs so my schedule is super flexible. I will follow any and all instructions you set, I understand how tedious some animals care can be and I promise to follow every step with caution as to make your animal feel safe and happy during the sitting.
“Tahniiyah was AMAZING! She was so great with my dog who is typically very anxious around new people. She was on time, very communicative, respectful of our home, and all around amazing person. I will definitely be hiring her again.”
“Amanda was great! She went above and beyond in taking care of all of my animals. We have three dogs and some chickens. She made sure they all ate and hung around for a while to play with them. She was attentive and punctual and was here when she said she was going to be. I will definitely welcome her back the next time we need our animals cared for.”
“Lily was an amazing house sitter and took such great care of our dog Marley! She sent daily updates with photos and we knew Marley was well exercised with daily walks and given lots of love. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. I highly recommend Lily and will definitely hire her again. Thank you Lily!!”
About: I have always had a passion for pets, especially dogs. Every since I was small, I have helped stray dogs and cats by giving them shelter, food, and taking care of them.

I have a very friendly and fun dog at home to keep your furry friends happy and accompanied. I also have a fenced yard and I can easily put your pups into a crate if needed.
“Sarah provided amazing attention to our special pup when we were out of town this past week! She was very attentive to both Hailey and our needs (as we require a lot of feedback on our pup)! We appreciate everything thing she did and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter. We will be booking again soon! Thank you Sarah!”
About: With over 3 years of dog and cat sitting, I use the experience of my own fur family to ensure safe play and care for others!

I have the ability to take my pet with yours to ensure a very tired and happy animal. My home has an enclosed backyard and room inside for your fur baby. I live near a few different parks that your pet will love!
“We recently had the pleasure of having Letty stay at our home while we were away, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the first moment we met her it was clear that she was incredible bond with animals and attention to detail made all the difference. Not only did she keep our dogs, happy, comfortable, and cared for, but she also went above and beyond to ensure everything at home was in perfect order.

I currently work from home and have the flexibility of caring for animals whether it’s a drop in visit, multiple walks, or day care. I’ll be there. I have two friendly dogs of my own and my cat is as sassy as a dog. I have a condo with a large grassy area for walks and I take my own dogs on a 3 mile walk around the house.
“Holly took good care of our senior dog Bear. Communicated daily on how he was doing. She genuinely cares and is very knowledgeable about dogs. Bear even gave her kisses (and it takes him a while to warm up to anyone).”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had 2 labs and a German Shepard growing up. I currently help dog sit and walk my neighbors dogs and my schedule is extremely flexible I currently have an extremely flexible schedule so I can work Monday through Sunday and I am willing to work with anyone on fitting my schedule around their needs. I currently live in a small ADU Unit in a backyard that is fenced off from my neighbors who own two friendly dogs, due to how small my unit is I would prefer to stay at a clients home if I needed to dogsit overnight!
“Christina was AMAZING!!!! She went above and beyond for Rockie and was even able to accommodate me last minute when my flight was delayed. Being gone nearly 2 weeks would've been extremely stressful but she kept me at ease knowing my home and my pup were well taken care of.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ramona
Jenilee is an animal person and people person! I had another sitter booked and she canceled on me so I had reached out to Jenilee pretty last minute. I was so happy she was available. She took great care of my blind senior dog Wilson; they hung out, went outside. Had snack and took a nap. He had an awesome day. Thank you can’t wait to use your services again.
Emma was outstanding in every way and an absolute lifesaver. I made a last-minute booking, and she not only accepted but graciously made time for a meet-and-greet! She's a true professional, and her expertise with animals was apparent. She immediately put my dog at ease, recognizing his body language and maintaining a calm, steady demeanor. My dog has severe separation anxiety and other behavioral issues, yet he was clearly well cared for, and he was sleeping like a baby when we returned. I highly recommend her for any animal care.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ramona walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ramona maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ramona choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.
