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’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with years of animal care experience. As a full-time sitter, I’ll devote my full attention to your pets throughout the day. I’ll follow their routines closely, including meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime, so they always get the care and attention they need, even during typical work hours when other sitters might be too busy. Please note: on most Saturdays, I have another commitment from 5am-12pm. Please keep this in mind before booking, especially if your dog can’t be left alone for that length of time or requires meds, feeding, or other care during those hours. For boarding or house-sitting, I take only one client at a time and have no pets of my own, so your pets won’t need to share my care or space with other animals. This ensures a stress-free, calm environment that respects their routines and individual needs. I’m a UC Irvine graduate and former paralegal who now happily focuses on personalized, hands-on pet care. I’m experienced with administering some oral medications, including pills, powders, and liquids in food, and following detailed care instructions provided by owners to ensure every pet receives the best care. I treat every pet like my own, and my calm, positive energy helps them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Their happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I create a calm and loving environment where pets can relax and feel truly cared for, even when their owners are away. Throughout the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention and pets or cozy cuddles, helping them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I tailor walks to each dog’s energy and preferences, whether that’s a calm stroll around the neighborhood, potty breaks in your yard, or extra playtime in a safe, open area. Safety is always a top priority while we explore, sniff around, and enjoy our walks together. Housesitting: I treat your home with care and respect, keeping everything clean and tidy. I double-check doors and appliances to make sure everything is secure, so your home is just as you left it when you return. Boarding: I live in a quiet, single-story home with my mom, who also loves dogs. Your pet will enjoy a calm and peaceful environment with no other pets, helping them feel completely at ease. They’ll receive plenty of attention, love, and care, just like part of our family!

About: I had 3 dogs since 2002 and raised them from puppy early age until their end of life. my last one died 1 year ago. I'm not ready to get another one but would love to give some love and attention to someone else's dogs. I'm newly retired and would love to spend more time around dogs to play with them, walk with them. I love to be outside as much weather permit. I have a fenced backyard and able to crate your dog if needed. If I have to go away for a short period like 1hr, your dog will be confined in a safe area (entire family room).

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. Outside of pet care, I just finished my bachelors degree in Architecture and am now studying for my law school entrance exam! 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.

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’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.”

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 work schedule is Thursday-Mon 11pm-7:30am. I typically don’t sleep until a couple hours later (10-11am) and I wake up around 3-4pm. 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.

About: My passion in life is taking care of Animals especially dogs and cats. I have grown up with dogs/cats for all of my life so 19 years so far. I knew since 10 I would do anything for my pets and I wanted to learn more so I started to do research and still to this day I’m learning the absolute most that I can so I can eventually become a dog trainer after schooling, than I’ll be able to start my dream Goal to start a rehabilitation center for dogs in need. My goal is to save the dogs that are close to being put down or they have severe behavior problems. In my family we have a total of 6 dogs right now, my mother fostered many dogs and puppies which opened my eyes to such an incredible experience and knowledge. I know how to handle dogs from tiny to large, I am very strong and can handle big dogs larger than 70 lb. I love dogs (and cats) with a passion and would love to be able to help in any way that I can. Thank you for taking the time to consider me! I am currently working from 6am-2:30pm Monday-Thursday and Saturday. I’m free after 2:30 or Friday and Sunday. If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

She’s amazing. My cat is not very friendly to people but Sabrina got ways to connect with her. My cat let her pat her. We have other people come and go all the time. My cat had never let others touch her except us. I believe Sabrina must have some magical wands. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone sitting with your pets.
