“Victoria was such a pleasure! We communicated. It was really a last-minute drop in request for our three Dalmatians. We did a meet and greet and the three dogs immediately took a liking to Victoria, and they are very picky and a lot to handle!! Victoria showed up on time fed our three dogs took them potty and spent some time and sent pictures after! She did an amazing job is a great person and we would definitely book her again and highly recommend!”
“We were fortunate to have Trinity come to our house each morning for almost 3 weeks to care for our two cats. It was best to keep the cats at home and comfortable in their routines rather than traveling to a facility. Trinity checked in each morning and sent pics to me from each visit and that helped put me at ease. All went well and when we travel again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact River and ask for Trinity again. Thanks Trinity!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 6 years of hands-on pet care experience and two beloved cats of my own. I believe pets are family and I care for every animal as if they were mine. I’m an attentive and observant caregiver who notices the small things: a change in mood, habits, or energy levels. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I’m intentional in everything I do, whether it’s keeping their space clean, ensuring they’re eating well, or spending time playing and bonding. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family, so I pride myself on being transparent, reliable, and trustworthy every step of the way. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and care. As long as I have at least 24 hours' notice, I can easily accommodate most requests. My partner and I are currently planning our wedding, and taking on pet care is not only a way to help support that goal but also something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with animals, and I treat every pet like I would my own with love, attention, and respect. I'm committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure your pets are happy and safe while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding and medication to walks and playtime, and I am very mindful of each pet’s unique needs and personality. I keep their area clean, make sure they have fresh water, and spend quality time with them so they feel calm and cared for while you are away. I also respect your home as if it were my own and will always communicate clearly about how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets.

No other pets as we lost them to old age. It’s private and safe and convenient with individual attention and care.

Throughout my life, I have gained hands-on experience in a variety of animal care tasks, from feeding, watering, and providing exercise, to administering medical care, cleaning, and conducting regular health checks.

Rancho San Diego cat parents share their Rover experiences
Cynthia was amazing…she is dependable, compassionate, and respectful. We felt completely comfortable with her care of our cats and she even offered extra assistance when we had a minor problem with one of our cats that she handled with grace. We will be using Cynthia in the future and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!
Ashley was fantastic! She was so attentive of our diabetic cat and our “normal” (but needy) cat. She asked great questions and communicated very well and thoroughly. Ashley is clearly a professional and loves animals, and she’s very detail-oriented and wants to care for your pets! We love Ashley!
