Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Rancho Bernardo

About: https://www.rover.com/sit/racheb16940 Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up surrounded by dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’ve had my own dog, Dougie, since he was a puppy, so I understand firsthand the care, patience, and consistency dogs need at every stage of life. We’re a very active household — regular hikes, dog beach trips, long walks, and plenty of outdoor time are part of our routine. That said, I’m just as happy providing calm companionship, belly rubs, and lots of snuggles for dogs who prefer a slower pace. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and safety-focused. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs, and I always make sure dogs feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they’re in my care. Friends and family often trust me with their pets because they know I treat every dog like my own. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or simply a friendly face and extra affection, I’m here to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have full availability working from home. Dougie is eight, so I’ve had a solid routine since he was a puppy with lots of exercise and snuggles. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions, to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Safety is always my top priority — I supervise pets closely, use leashes during walks, and keep spaces secure and hazard-free. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with regular messages and photos.

“Aubrey is the best! Looks like our dog had a great time based on the adorable pictures she got of him, and everything was in order when we got home. Absolutely will keep using Aubrey to care for our boy!”

“This was our second time using Kim as our cat sitter, and just like last time, I felt I could relax on my vacation thanks to her! One of my cats recently was put on kidney medication, which resulted in me getting microchip-triggered feeders for both cats. Kim learned how to use these immediately, and did a good job of giving my one cat his medications! She also watered my plants the week we were gone, and dealt with the many messes my cats made. I would highly recommend using Kim as a pet sitter!”

About: I’ve spent over a decade caring for my own dog, a pit bull who was part of my family for 11 years and lived to 15 years old. He faced multiple health challenges over the years, including cancer, and I supported him through every stage of his life. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to stay calm and consistent, even in more demanding situations. I’m comfortable with medium to large breeds and understand the importance of structure, routine, and a safe, stable environment. I treat every dog with the same level of care and respect I gave my own I’m retired, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision. My wife also works from home, so there is almost always someone present to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable. We’re able to maintain a steady routine with regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Dogs in our care are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure home environment where dogs are always supervised and cared for. Since I’m retired and my wife works from home, there is almost always someone present, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re here. I also keep a close eye on behavior and interactions at all times. My goal is to provide an stress-free, reliable experience so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. To keep a safe and comfortable home environment, I ask that dogs are house-trained and non-destructive. Owners are responsible for any significant damage caused during a stay.”

“Lindsay took good care of my two dogs and two cats for a long weekend. Her communication was great and I came home to happy and well-cared for pets. I’d highly recommend her and I look forward to having her watch my fur babies again!”

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats and have cared for many pets of my own over the years. My experience spans every life stage - from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets needing gentle, attentive support. I've worked with a wide range of breeds and temperaments and understand how to tailor care to each animal's unique needs. I currently share my home with two Australian Shepherds, ages 5 and 6, who keep me active and always learning. I've also provided care for many pets belonging to friends, family, and clients, always treating them with the same love and respect I give my own animals. I'm a true animal and nature lover, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and comfortable experience for every pet in my care. Pet care is naturally woven into my day. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a consistent routine that keeps me available for walks, checkins, feeding schedules, and companionship throughout the day. I structure my work around the pets I am caring for, ensuring they receive regular attention, exercise, and supervision. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I'm able to provide reliable, flexible care that fits each pets individual needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, my focus is on maintaining their routine, comfort, and sense of security. I follow the pet parent's instructions closely, keep the environment clean and safe, and make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and structure throughout the visit.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life. From big dogs to small dogs. I currently have a 12 year old French bulldog. She is blind and deaf and has a hard time getting around. I do everything I possibly can to make her happy. From taking slow walks, to administering medication. She is the light of my life. I will make my dog my priority. I will keep them safe and happy. I will love them like they are my own. I am a college student home for the summer. I am currently only working for Rover! I am very flexible with home visits and walk times. My goal is to keep your home and your pets as safe as possible. I will make sure to lock doors, gates, and secure your pet in the home or crates as needed.

“Haven’t seen my dog lately so happy as he was with the pictures Jess sent me today!! She is definitely dedicated to making my dog her top priority when under her care!”

About: I have been working in Veterinary Medicine for 9+ years. I will take great care of your babies and can assist in medical emergencies. I will love your kiddos like my own. I’m currently working a full time job at a veterinary hospital and work 40 hours a week. Around this, I am available for petsitting in your home, and available to do multiple drop in visits during the day. I value patient care and pet care in the highest regard. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and offer the gold standard of care.

About: Hello I’m Nancy! I’m a recent college graduate from UCSD who would prefer more animal friends than humans. I joined Rover to meet more local furry neighbors and help out pet owners. I’m a hamster owner myself, but I have plenty of house sitting experience for dogs and cats since 2021. Owners that book recurring visits often see their pets are excited to see me again. I’m honored to be your sitter — your pet will get all of my love and affection and you will receive lots of (goofy) photos to prove that. Cat owners extremely benefit from me, as I have a younger sister who also helps out whenever I am cat sitting. Your cat will understand what it is like to be a celebrity between the two of us since we are big cat lovers! My schedule is night shift, I work 11pm-7:30am. I typically don’t sleep until a couple hours later (10-11am) and I wake up around 5pm. So my schedule can align well with pets that are familiar with a typical 9-5 schedule. I rarely travel so my schedule can accommodate pets under short notice. Before you entrust me with the care of your friend, I’d love to know more about them. Ideally, I’d love to schedule a meet and greet beforehand so they get used to me and so we both know more about each other. It is important to me that I meet you and your pet’s expectations. I’d love to know all the quirks and traits of your pet.

“Michelle is absolutely amazing. We were out of the country for 10 days over Christmas and she checked on our kittens twice a day. She sent pictures and videos at every visit, and kept us up to date on all of their shenanigans. I highly recommend Michelle!”

About: Hello my name is Stephanie and since I am no longer able to have a dog, would love to help you walk or take care of yours! I love all types of dogs and love to create new best friends through love and care, cuddles, walks and treats. I take “hot girl walks” daily, would love a partner in crime to do it with. I do have a full time job, work mornings so am able to do evening walks or anytime Monday and Thursdays (my days off) also open to sitting at any time When I did have a cute little dog (3 I total), I trained them from a puppies and continued training in making sure they were well behaved and cared for always. Dogs to me are more than pets and I would treat yours just the same.

About: I grew up with dogs and had dogs almost all time. My grand dad has this tradition to adopt a pup when there was a child birth in our family. Due to which all my cousins grew up with dogs , caring and sharing our laughter , food with them. I have experience managing all size dog. I currently am a proud mom of a Maltese who fell into my laps during pandemic and a golden girl Arya. Back home , I have mountain dog and terrier who, my dad is looking after them in our farm house. Being a farmer’s daughter , I have loved animals since forever. I have been associated with animal shelter and rescue groups since I was 16 years. I just feel they deserve to be sharing the space with us and feel protected.

About: I grew up with a multi-poodle who was part of my life for 12 years. She was more than just a pet (she was family) and taking care of her taught me so much about what dogs need and how much love they give back. Since then, I’ve always been around dogs, whether it’s through friends or family, and it’s something that’s just always felt natural to me. I love being around them, and caring for them doesn’t feel like a task, it’s just something I genuinely enjoy. I am currently available anytime Monday through Friday. Outside of pet care, I just finished my bachelors degree in Architecture and am now studying for my licensing exams! Right now, I am offering pet care in my own home. I am also happy to care for pets in their own space, where they’re most comfortable. I always make sure to follow any instructions the owner provides, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific routines. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and personality, and I make it a priority to keep them feeling safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.

“Stop scrolling – you’ve found the perfect pet sitter! Verona is absolutely incredible. She cared for my cat for seven days and went above and beyond in every possible way. She brought in my mail, packages, and even garbage cans—without me ever asking. But the most amazing part? My cat came back happier and friendlier than ever. I had only adopted her two months ago and this was my first time leaving her, yet Verona’s gentle, caring approach helped her become more relaxed and tame than I imagined possible. And as a bonus, Verona took the most stunning professional-quality photos of my cat that made me see her in a whole new light. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and treats them like her own, Verona is the one. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would trust her again in a heartbeat.”

“Kristen was amazing! It was my Kodas first time meeting her and they got along great. She provided photos to update me on the walk, feeding and even some petting time and he loves. I would definitely use her again and plan on using her again in the near future.”

“We are very pleased with Krzysztof’s services. He was quick to respond to our very last minute request and accommodated our location that we needed. He was attentive, paid attention to details when visiting and listening to what we needed for Hula. He treated Hula like his own and always communicated with us. He’s amazing with animals and has such a caring spirit. From the moment he came, we could feel comfortable with him. Hula instantly loved him too. We trust our dog’s instincts! We will be booking with Krzysztof again!!”

About: In my previous living complex, we would hold a daily play time. As soon as I stepped onto the sidewalk, the doggos would immediately run to the edge of the grass before my own boys steps foot onto the grass. I have been given the name "Dr. Wendy" as I love to give massages to the doggos during their play time, especially the older pups. I am a pre-med and currently applying to medical school. Naturally I have a lot of love, compassion and care to give to humans and of course dogs! I have raised a loyal 130 lbs GSD from puppy age, a spunky and cuddly rescue Yorkie ,a ferocious Maltipoo and high energy mini Goldendoodle. I am currently transitioning career path and will have an open schedule until further notice. I am looking a remote job to provide services even after settling into a new position. When my boys were puppies, I would start off with a small section in our home and gradually introduce them to other areas as their potty training progressed. In terms of potty training, I kept a consistent schedule with feeding and recording their bathroom breaks (whether it was number 1 or 2.) After I learned their bathroom pattern and they were cleared by the vet to be introduced to grass, I would transition them to outside walk/potty breaks. At the same I would ween off the potty pads. Both my boys were house trained by 8-10 months. As a sitter, I always send a message if your pet went number 1 and/or 2. I usually like to make sure they go potty before I leave your pet alone.

About: Exceptional care tailored to your pet's needs and a commitment to their happiness and well-being. Genuine love for pets ensuring a stress-free experience, keeping tails wagging and owners at ease. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine, as I am able to provide attentive care and supervision most workdays from my home. I would be a great option for weekday doggy daycare, with occasional overnight stays and weekend care as needed. Please feel free to reach out to check my current availability — I’d love to help care for your pup! In my home or yours, safety is paramount. I create a trusted environment, maintaining cleanliness and following strict protocols to ensure your pet's well-being and comfort.

“Alicia was awesome!! We last minute needed someone to watch our high energy puppy over the week and she was the perfect help. She asked questions to make sure she knew just how to care for our mini Aussiedoodle while we were gone. I would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”
