About: I grew up with three dogs and have since fostered many dogs. I love to walk the dogs that are part of my neighborhood, and have taken care of all different kinds of dogs in many different cities and states. My seasonal YMCA camp leader job has just ended, so I am free at any time of day to take care of your dog or dogs. I give my dogs a lot of love and attention, and we go on a walk at least twice a day. In the heat I make sure they wear booties to not injure their paws, and I keep their bowl filled to the top with water. Your dog only sees as much of the world as you let them, so I like to make sure my dogs get to experience new things every once in awhile.

“Shaylynn is absolutely fantastic! She is a great communicator and is very reliable. She takes great care of my pups as well as looking after my home when the weather isn't conducive to walks. I can't recommend her highly enough!!”


About: **Special, 80% off all boardings / house sittings between now and 8/29!! I will adjust the rate before we book 😊** Think of me as your pet’s personal nanny: calm, patient, and deeply committed to their comfort and well-being. I care for only one household’s pets at a time, so your animals never share my space or care with others. This ensures a peaceful, stress-free experience tailored entirely to their needs and routines. I'm a UC Irvine graduate and former paralegal who now happily devotes my time to providing thoughtful, attentive care for animals. With a flexible schedule and years of hands-on experience, I create a safe, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and secure. Most of my clients are repeat customers who value my reliability, responsiveness, and nurturing presence. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs extra TLC, I take the time to build trust and provide gentle, personalized care. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities, always. They really are little soulmates in fur form, and it’s a joy to give them the care they deserve. I’m attentive to your pet’s individual needs and adapt easily to their unique personality. With my warm, bubbly nature, I connect quickly with pets, who often grow to love me. I give dogs or cats plenty of pets, cuddles, and snuggles. Housesitting: I pay close attention to detail and treat your home with care and respect — keeping things clean and tidy, locking all doors, double-checking appliances, and ensuring everything is left just as you expect. Boarding: I live in a single-story condo with my mom, who also loves dogs. While your dog will enjoy a calm, friendly home environment, I’ll be solely responsible for their care and with them throughout their entire stay. They’ll receive plenty of attention, love, and feel right at home. When walking dogs, I’m always mindful of their safety — keeping them away from unfamiliar or potentially aggressive dogs, and making sure they’re fed on time and stick to their usual routine.

About: I grew up in a family with two cats, so I’ve been around animals since I was a kid. Now I live and work as an engineer in San Diego after earning my PhD. I WFH so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets, give them attention, and keep them company throughout the day. I’m happy to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. I'm calm, patient, and love a good cuddle or walk! I'm home 24/7 and love having animals around. I work from home, so your pet will always have company and care. I welcome pets of all ages and personalities. It depends on their personality and needs. If your pet feels anxious around new people, they’ll have their own quiet space to relax and feel safe. But if they’re a cuddle bug who wants attention all day, I’m all in for that too! I always adjust my care to what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. If you have any special instructions or routines, just let me know, and I’ll follow them closely.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, including my own family pets as well as dogs belonging to friends and neighbors. I’ve looked after pups of all sizes and temperaments—from energetic large breeds to mellow lap dogs. I also have helped raised puppies and am comfortable taking care of any age dog. I am currently working from home and have flexible hours, so I am able to adjust my schedule to whatever your pet's needs may be! Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I understand how important it is to treat each dog like part of the family. My experience has taught me how to read dog behavior, respond to their needs, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care.

About: I have been a dog walker and dog sitter for around 6 months. I like to run with energetic dogs and walk with the more chill dogs. I can handle dogs that may pull or be stubborn. I typically bring my own poop bags in case it's needed. If I'm not busy hanging out with my friends or with school I will be walking dogs. I'm usually free on weekends and during afternoons on weekdays. When I do dog walks I like to stay aware of what the dog is doing and sniffing. I notice that some dogs like to eat random crap off the floor, so I tend to stay alert for that.

I am very comfortable with senior cats and dogs and adjust care to meet their needs. I have a very flexible schedule and can adjust my day around the needs of the pet parent and their timing for visits. I am available weekdays and weekends. I take care in entering and exiting a client's home to ensure pets don't get out. I ensure the client's pet(s) are fed and clean and will follow the directions of the client to ensure the routine of the animals are as close as can be with what they are used to. We have two cats and a dog and all are seniors receiving medications currently, and I am very comfortable with pets with special needs. I ensure homes are secured as I exit each time.

Rancho Bernardo dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole was wonderful. Nicole was conscientious and dependable. She walked my dog Benny every designated day for a full half hour and made sure the house sitter was keeping his water bowl full and caring for him in the evenings. She was easy to work with, responded quickly to messages, and I’ll definitely use her again in the future. And you should too! : )

We have repeatedly book Jordyn to walk our 3-legged dog reactive girl while we’ve been out of town. Not only is Jordyn reliable, but she’s earned our trust even with our *special needs* dog. And our dog LOVES her. We will absolutely book Jordyn again and highly recommend her to others!

I used Nikki previously for boarding and trusted her enough to help out while we took our engagement pictures. I cannot say enough about how accommodating she was, how good she is with our pup, and how much I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else. She’s the sitter that made me learn that rover has a max tip setting. 100% recommend
