“Kirsten did a great job sitting for my puppy! He recently had a procedure done so he is recovering, and she followed all instructions and kept me updated. As a first time, puppy owner I’m nervous about what to do w him, but I’m definitely grateful for sitters like Kirsten that can watch him while I go to work especially these first few days.”


About: I have taken care of dogs for the last year and do so with the utmost integrity and care in mind for the pet and owner. I work remotely from home and work east coast hours. I am available in the afternoons and evenings and am flexible in the early hours of the day too. I do not personally have animals of my own. Your animal would receive the attention and singular care they need delivered with kindness in the time we have together. My great dane of 8 years passed in 2024 and I’m looking to spend more time with animals without the long term commitment in his absence.

“Don’t hesitate for a second. Arman knows dogs! My dog Rosie fell in love with Arman and we are forever changed by his kindness. Rosie spend Wednesdays with Arman and family for 15 weeks and became a more well-rounded confident dog after suffering abuse as a pup. We are so thankful to me you! ❤️ 🐕”


“Yantian is super kind and has really good and calm energy. Nezu is a bit shy and gets nervous in new environments, but Yantian was really attentive and accommodating to her needs and made her feel at ease. Definitely recommended!”


“Cali loved hanging out with Ashley and her Yorkie’s! Also, Ashley was very communicative, sent me photos throughout the day and was very accommodating. Cali was so tired when I picked her up which always means she had the best time playing and being active throughout the day.”

“Neena was great! She was available last minute for doggy day care and took our dog for two walks during the day. She was flexible with us and we would use her again!!”


“Took amazing care of my deaf puppy! He came back happier than he left 🤣”


“Olivia was very nice and took great care of Bella. She Sent pictures and took bella on walks! Would definitely recommend booking with Olivia!”


“My puppy's first and second time ever at a pet sitter, both days with R&C. I know he had a good time because he went from shy and scared on Friday, to joyfully pulling me and sticking his head under their gate to get in the following Wednesday. They're very nice folks who are easy to work with and I will certainly book with them the next time I'm in need of pet care. Thanks!”


About: With five years of pet sitting and fostering experience, I provide a warm, nurturing environment for pets. I’ve enjoyed caring for animals and offer plenty of love, patience, and positive discipline. My approach focuses on creating a safe, stress-free space where pets feel comfortable and cared for, using gentle guidance and feedback to support their well-being. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, your pets will feel right at home. As I work from home, I can dedicate ample time and attention to the pets in my care. I can be present throughout the day, ensuring they receive the love, companionship, and supervision they need. Whether it’s frequent playtime, walks, or simply being there to offer comfort, I create a calm and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and supported. I offer an open, spacious environment where pets can freely explore and relax. My home also features a balcony where they can enjoy fresh air or an outdoor nap, adding to their comfort and well-being. Your pets will feel right at home with my full attention throughout the day. A neighborhood veterinarian is located across the street if there should ever be a need.

“Chloe ran directly to their front gate upon arrival! She’s become very comfortable with them and their home in a short time. I love seeing her happy.”


“Stephen and his girlfriend were incredibly accommodating—especially on short notice. Chewy always came home happy and tired, and it was clear he loved spending time with them. They were communicative and caring, even letting me know when he had an upset stomach and making sure he was well taken care of. I’d definitely use them again if I’m in the area. Highly recommend!”


“Vivianne is a fantastic pet sitter who fits your schedule in as much as she can. At the last minute I found Rover and she was the first choice. Let me tell you why, she does pick up/drop off, sends you photos and videos of your pets stay and keeps in touch. She has a professional attitude with a personal touch that will keep her on my favorites list for any and all times I am in the San Diego area. The price is worth it for the 5 star service! She is a lifesaver!”


About: Hi there! I’ve owned dogs most of life, but I don’t have my own pooch to love on right now. Looking to care for your pet! Whether it’s walking your pet in your neighborhood or mine, overnight stays or puppy playtime, I’m your gal! My schedule is very open, so I can go for walks anytime of day! I have a home with a fenced in yard perfect for playtime! I can also come to your place if your pet prefers their own home. I have a cozy home with a large fenced in yard perfect for small to medium dogs! I can crate your dog overnight or they can sleep with me in my bed!

“William was an incredible sitter for Tino! We needed someone to watch him for the day as he had just gotten neutered and we didn't want to leave him alone while we were out. William was friendly, professional, and kept us updated the whole day! Tino came home and fell right asleep from all the play time he got with Buddy! We will definitely be booking with William again.”



About: I was a dog owner that travels often, so I understand the pain of trying to find the right fit for a trustworthy sitter. I had my dog, Crumbs, as a rescue pup since he was 6 weeks old until his passing at 13.5 years. My family has always had pets at home - fish, birds, hamsters, a chihuahua, Pomeranian, pug - so pet care is no challenge. I’m also a loving auntie to many of my friends’ own fur children! I work from home full-time M-F. I love to play sports and being outside just as much as I love laying around and watching tv. So rest assured your pet will find good company with me for whatever their needs! I can accept one dog at a time for boarding in my apartment. I allow dogs in furniture, but will be mindful if this is a habit you are trying to break from your dog. I live in an a one bedroom apartment and have neighbors so no constant loud barking. I also live by a park so easy to go out for some activities!

“Emmy responded very promptly. Very warm and welcoming for Zuko. Sent pictures of Zuko happy during her stay with Emmy. Would recommend and rehire her services next time I’m in San Diego! Thank you Emmy.”


“Jeffery took great care of my pup, I would definitely book again! He’s super friendly, keep me updated throughout the day, and my dog had a blast :)”


“Leah was great!”


About: I have several years of experience providing loving and reliable care for pets of all types. I currently care for 6 rescue dogs and one cat at my home in Mexico plus my rescue dog bella here in san diego. So I’m experienced in managing multiple pets with different personalities and needs. I’m skilled in walking, feeding, and administering medications, and I’m especially attentive to each pet’s individual routines and preferences. I understand the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement, ensuring that pets feel safe, loved, and engaged. Whether it’s playtime, training, or simply offering companionship, I’m dedicated to providing the best care possible. I’ve spent the last 3 years working as a nanny, which has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing care with love and attention. Now, I’m fully committed to transitioning into pet care, and I’m excited to offer my experience and dedication to your furry friends. My weekends and afternoons are completely free, making me available to give your pets the attention they need. Plus, my husband is always at home, so there’s always someone around to keep an eye on our furry family members, in addition to my own dog. I live in a cozy apartment downtown, where we have plenty of space for your furry friends. My dog goes for a walk or to the park twice a day and takes potty breaks 3-4 times daily. She’s a great companion and would love to socialize with your dog, but we also understand that some pets prefer their own space. That’s why we have two separate rooms where your dog can relax alone if they need some quiet time. Rest assured, whether they’re enjoying playtime or just some peaceful moments, your dog will feel right at home here.
