About: Hi, my name is Bree! Currently, my only pet is a cat, but I grew up with chihuahuas, a bird, and have pet sat for many friends and family members. After moving away from my hometown, I missed hanging out with all type of animals, so I decided to start pet sitting again. I love all animals, but I feel most comfortable and confident with cats and smaller or lower energy dogs. I am also happy to care for other animals, like birds, fish, and reptiles. I have experience administering oral and topical medications. I’m an excellent communicator and will tailor my care to your pets’ needs. I have a strong attention to detail and will love and care for your fur babies like they are my own. I am self-employed and work primarily from home, so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. On days when I work outside the home, I can drop in before and/or after my other responsibilities. I treat all homes with respect and cleanliness, and will follow your instructions for care. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved in your absence.
“I’ve booked Loren for a few walks and a game of fetch for my dog. She has great communication and is very responsive. I appreciate her professionalism and reliability. She has shown that I can count on her. Kona has a blast! Thanks Loren!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I learned how to wash dishes! I’ve walked dogs and puppies from 10lbs to larger dogs of 120lbs + When I spend time with animals, even in short amounts of times, special bonds are formed. Both parties just have a blast to be honest. I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian my whole life but as things have changed this is the closest thing to it. I hope you’ll choose me as your trusted sitter! I’m currently in the military Active Duty Shore. I do drop in visits around lunch time, and I’m up early in the morning for early morning walks and feedings before work starts on weekdays. After 4pm we play, go for walks, eat and play again. On weekends I’m available whenever. Sundays mornings are exceptions, being that I attend church. I only take care of crate trained animals in my home. Animals who are potty trained, and nothing bigger than 25lbs. I do live in a gated community with plenty of room to walk and run around outdoors. I also have a spacious living room and dining room area with no furniture. Spacious for small animals, their crates, and their zoomies! I do not have any pets or children. When it comes to clients homes, I clean when needed. And I stick to whatever schedule I’ve been given.
“excellent walker. made such a great first impression that we booked her on the spot—well kinda. based on our needs, it couldn’t work out but we’ll definitely reach out if we ever need a backup walker/sitter. thx zoarel!”
“Monique is such an amazing pet guardian. She works well to accommodate and flexes with my schedule, is communicative and has such a calmness about her that my dog and cats all like and trust her. I’m at ease when I know my pets are under her care whenever I’m away.”
“Alanis is so wonderful. She walks our energetic golden retriever on occasions and our pup cannot wait to see her! She is very communicative and details our pup’s behavior and any concerns, etc. she may have. We feel so comfortable knowing we have her coming over to help out. She provides sweet love and care to our girl and we will continue to request Alanis’s help as often as we are able to!”
About: Hi! My name is Isabelle. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for at least 10 years! I miss having dogs around so I will love yours like my own. I work from home full time and can easily take lots of breaks to let your dog out! I also take 1-2 long walks a day. Feel free to bring their bed and any toys your dog may want to have with them. I don’t have a yard but plenty of space to walk them around.
“Kyra is excellent! A great communicator and ensures that issues are quickly addressed. She really took care of my girls and I can't recommend her enough. I will be using her again.”
“Ivania was AMAZING!! She was great with our two dogs and carefully listened as I explained care instructions. Ivania was so easy to work with and kept us up to date with pictures and videos each time she was with them. I definitely recommend her and will contact her again in the future. :)”

About: My name is Daisy I’m 28. I’ve been working with pets for 9 years as a dog groomer/dog walker/pet sitter so that means I deal with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and age. I can’t imagine doing anything else for work! I just get dogs and they get me. I have two big babies of my own. I am available for dog grooming needs upon request. I like to do meet and greets with dogs/cats before making set plans just in case but I understand sometimes reservations are last minute. As an animal lover I understand that sometimes dogs are picky about people and it could take awhile for a dog to get used to somebody new. I’m all about animals. They run my life. I like to make myself available for my clients and their pets as soon as they need me. Im pretty open to whatever the client needs both in my home and yours. I do require that your animals are friendly with cats/dogs as I have both if we’re doing over night stays.
“We feel so blessed to have met Betty. She is so loving and caring with Bernard. He looks forward to seeing Betty because she makes it fun for him. We are so thankful for the great care she gives him.”
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.

Reyna was great with my dogs! She arrived on time, was very friendly, and handled both of them really well. She definitely knew what she was doing and made sure they got all their energy out during the walk. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs in her care and would absolutely book with her again.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rancho San Diego. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rancho San Diego. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
