House Sitting Sabre Springs

“Nelsybeth did an amazing job with our Copper. She kept us updated and sent photos and videos which were so greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to care for Copper next time.”

About: Hello! I am an animal lover who has recently relocated to the SD area. I regularly have sat for family, friends, and word of mouth recommendations for over a decade. I have cared for pets as small as tree frogs to a home with multiple large pit bull mixes, to a diabetic cat in need of insulin injections twice a day. Whatever type of pet you have I promise to love them as much as I love my own! I am currently at home full time. I regularly take walks to get out of the house and would love to have a companion join me! I love animals and couldn’t imagine spending my day in a better way than with them! I do have my own cat which means for multi day jobs I would occasionally want to visit her (my partner is there to care for her) but I am available to spend majority of the time at a clients home. I have a fenced back yard for your animal to run around in. I would keep your pet in the living room and kitchen are with me while I leave the bedrooms for my cat. I love going on walks so I will be more than happy to take your dogs out with me ( no dog parks or off leash areas).

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.

“Kaylan kept our dog busy and happy while we were gone! We will definitely ask her to care for our pets again.”

“Carly did a great job staying with our two dogs for 11 nights. She was communicative and reliable. Our dogs were happy and looked great when we got home. We will definitely ask her to stay with them again.”

Tammy R.

“This was our second time using Eli and he was great! Very good communication and daily updates with pictures of Kopi! I’m sure Kopi will be excited to see him again soon and know we feel very comfortable having Eli watch him!”

Sarah L.

“Bob was an amazing sitter for our corgi and husky! He was on time for both the meet & greet and the actual booking, and was very professional and kind throughout the entire experience. He sent us multiple daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear both dogs were getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Our corgi usually gets extra emotional when we come home, but this time she seemed so happy and relaxed, which really showed us how well cared for they were. Our house was also left in great condition. We’re very happy with Bob and will definitely book with him again!”

“Thank you Tiffany for being so great with our pups. She saved us last minute when our sitter cancelled the day before our trip. She kept us constantly updated and sent tons of adorable pics. We felt very comfortable having Tiffany stay and look forward to having her for our next adventure.”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and currently care for three large dogs (50–90 lbs) and one rescued cat of my own. Two of my dogs have been with me since they were puppies, and I've personally handled their training and daily care. I also helped raise a litter of eight puppies from birth until they were 8 weeks old, ensuring they were healthy, socialized, and ready to join their forever homes. Through my experience, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs, including administering medications and providing extra reassurance to pets who may be nervous or adjusting to a new environment. I regularly take my own dogs on 1–2 hour walks and prioritize both physical exercise and mental enrichment. I also bathe, shave paw pads, clip nails, brush, clean ears and brush their teeth. I have experience with basic obedience training, including sit, stay, leave it, kennel training, potty training, and recall training. When appropriate, I'm happy to reinforce basic commands during visits using treats and positive reinforcement. Above all, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I already care for three dogs and a cat of my own every day. I'm typically most available during evenings and weekends, which allows me to dedicate quality time to walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Depending on my schedule, I may also have availability during mornings, afternoons, and some holidays. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care that fits each pet's individual needs and routine. I believe every pet is unique, so I always strive to follow each owner's preferences and routines as closely as possible. Whether that means specific walking routes, favorite toys, feeding schedules, or other care instructions, I'm happy to adapt to what makes your pet most comfortable. I am experienced with administering medications and am patient with pets who may be a little stubborn or nervous. Through years of caring for my own dogs and cat, I've become very familiar with canine and feline body language and understand how to communicate with animals through both verbal cues and body language. Safety is always my top priority. I stay proactive during walks, playtime, and daily care to ensure pets remain safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I also understand how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I'm happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos throughout my visits. If requested, I can provide more frequent updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.

“Crystal was amazing! She helped us last minute and worked with our changing schedule. She did a good job of accommodating all of Roxxys needs. I can tell that Roxxy made a new friend! I would definitely recommend her!”

“Finzel stepped in at the last minute which was a great help! She sends regular updates letting me know when Henry’s been fed and let outside.”

“Bella did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Rai! We were on vacation for 2 weeks and were very lucky to have Bella watch him. She quickly picked up on his daily routine and took him on multiple walks every day, and took him to his favorite dog park in the afternoons. She sent us pictures every day during our trip and he looked so happy! Bella kept the house tidy and organized, and gave Rai a bath before we came back so he was clean. It gave our family a big peace of mind to know Rai was being well taken care of and having fun every single day. I highly recommend to have Bella watch over your pet in the future!”

About: Hi! I am Sara! Dog mom, pastry baker, and animal lover. I have a very small pupper of my own. I am most comfortable with the very small but mighty protectors, who may need some extra love and attention, or maybe some extra potty breaks. I am also experienced with the bigger puppers as well, (Tank, 100 lb Saint Bernard). I like to think of all dogs all puppers, no matter their age or size. Every dog is still the young happy loving pupper that they once were that still needs all the love and attention. Can't wait to meet all the new and loving puppers hopefully soon! Currently working from home, making sweet pastries and custom cakes. I have a lot of extra time in between orders and would love to get out and enjoy the sun and beautiful day with your wonderful dogs. I can care for small and medium size puppers here in my home. I have plenty of beds and step stools for our mighty small puppers. I am also very comfortable with larger dogs as well, but my place is a little small so I am available for house calls/sitting and always available to take a our lovely dogs out for a much needed walk and some extra exercise.

About: I've taken care of other people's pets for several years now and love caring for them in every way I can. I am capable of caring for any kind of dog and have done multiple jobs caring for several pets in the past.

I have always been very careful of any potentially dangerous situations and pride myself on being as preventative and careful as possible while maintaining a playful and comfortable environment.

“Christina was AMAZING!!!! She went above and beyond for Rockie and was even able to accommodate me last minute when my flight was delayed. Being gone nearly 2 weeks would've been extremely stressful but she kept me at ease knowing my home and my pup were well taken care of.”

About: I grew up with my mom rescuing dogs and cats found in our neighborhood. Most of them were failed fosters. I grew up with 5 cats and 6 dogs, with my cat living with me up until my senior year of college until she passed. I always look forward to going home to seeing all of our animals! From big to small- from our cats to our dogs. Each one of them has their own personalities and needs. I have experience with kittens, senior cats, bigger dogs, small dogs, epileptic dogs, and young cats, I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability. I am available most weekends, mornings, and evenings. I am unavailable Monday nights and Tuesday mornings. I value safety with every pet. As a previous pet owner, I always would want someone’s pet to feel comfortable and safe with me and be able to create a good trust and bond!

“Jeffrey was terrific. He made an appointment before the sitting date to meet our dog Annie and discuss housesitting. He showed up at the date and time we requested. He took our dog on a daily walk and she really warmed up to Jeffrey. We really appreciated that he did some household items like take out our trash, check our mail and any packages that arrived. Our house was as clean and picked up as when we left. Jeffrey even made sure to make the guest bed that he was staying! 😉 We would definitely hire Jeffrey again. We feel he is a very dependable and conscientious house sitter. When Jeffrey left at the end of the sitting appointment, Annie wanted to follow him outside. 😀 Obviously, Jeffrey has a great way dogs. Highly recommended.”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals in veterinary clinics, wildlife hospitals, research settings, and in clients’ homes. I recently graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology, where I gained extensive experience handling animals safely, recognizing signs of illness or stress, administering medications, and providing individualized care. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and support. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, rabbits, reptiles, birds, and other small animals, so multi-pet households are always welcome! What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional animal care experience with genuine compassion. Whether we’re going for an adventure, playing in the yard, or relaxing on the couch, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care is currently a central part of my routine, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs multiple walks, playtime, medication, or simply someone to keep them company throughout the day, I’m happy to tailor my schedule to their needs. I’m reliable, responsive, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make your pet’s routine feel as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to the routines they know and love. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medications, and bedtime routines, so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority. I’m attentive to each pet’s body language, energy level, and individual personality, and I always take a calm, patient approach to earning their trust. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet and a home that’s exactly how you left it.

“Luis was able to help watch our 2 dogs on such short notice b/c of an emergency. We were relieved and felt so grateful that our boys were under such great care!”
