About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who loves spending time with pups of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always aim to keep your pet stress-free and content :) I have 2 Pomeranians and a Pug (in the pictures) and they are my WORLD! The Poms, Tommy and Ollie, are almost 8 and my Pug Linda just turned 2! I just moved back to Oceanside, and working one part time job, so my schedule is quite open, and I can be flexible as needed! I'm open to walking, and sitting at your home! I just moved into an apartment, so unfortunately I will not be available for pet care in my home, but I can come to you!
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them is something I genuinely love!! I previously worked at an emergency and specialty hospital for animals where I gained experience caring for dogs with a wide variety of personalities, needs, and temperaments. That experience taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m comfortable around young, energetic, nervous, shy, senior, and high-maintenance dogs. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or anything that may indicate a pet isn’t feeling like themselves. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them the individual attention they’re used to. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like they’re my own. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re apart. I currently work a part time job at a restaurant in downtown Oceanside and my shifts are only up to 5 hours at a time. So I have a pretty flexible schedule that can be easy to work around! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable and maintain the routine they’re already familiar with. I’ll take the time to learn their normal feeding schedule, walk and potty routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship while making sure they’re safe and comfortable in their own space. I’m also very attentive to changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual, and I’ll keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel reassured while they’re away. I want your pets to feel like they’re spending time with someone they can trust, rather than simply being checked on while you’re gone!
About: When I’m not fostering pups, I’m caring for dogs through Rover! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love giving them the care, attention, and patience they deserve. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a sweet senior, I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I take the time to get to know each pup’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can be with your pup majority of the day. I am available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate to your schedule if needed! I have a fenced in small back yard, but many walking paths and parks near by! We do not have any other pets in the household, so your pup will be receiving one on one care while in a calm and relaxing environment.
About: As long as I can remember I have always loved animals. As I’ve aged I’ve come to like bugs and reptiles too! Over the past year friends and family have requested I watch over their furry family and I’ve happily obliged. I have some experience with reactive dogs (ability to read their body language, having a calm energy and meeting them where they are). My experience has covered, a newer kitten with a special diet, a multi-cat home + dog and a senior cat with special medication requirements. I also am a pet parent to a small dog whom I adore. Since I work part-time, my schedule is pretty flexible, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Currently, I only house-sit on days I do not work out of home, so my priority is you furry family. I’m pretty flexible depending on each individual pets needs. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and as relaxed as possible while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s usual routine and will follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests exactly as provided.
“Our dog flunked her doggie daycare test. Rather than send her to doggie jail, we checked out Rover, and it went so smoothly! Laura is exactly the person you’d want to care for your fur baby. She is clearly a dog lover, friendly, kind, responsible, and punctual. I had no worries while she was taking care of our dog.”
“Traci was so great! Really helped us out with our two kitties while we were away! She was communicative and so sweet! She even brought in some packages and kept the kitchen clean. Thanks again!”
About: I would love to watch and help take care of your pet! I am very active and would love to help out with walks, cuddles, and whatever else the needs are! I’m a stay at home mom with a big backyard to play. My own dog has received amazing care on his app and I also want to help provide that. I understand how important it is to have a trust worthy person take care of your animals. Please reach out with any questions you may have! I am home most of the day so your dog will get plenty of love! I love spending time with my own dog going on walks, playing in the backyard, and giving them attention and love! I have a fenced in backyard and my 3 year old dog who is very loving to help keep your little one entertained. I have room for a kennel (if you use one). With my dog I’m use to going on morning and afternoon walks everyday and can help out with any needs your pet has!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl, I’m exceptionally good with animals. I’ve been trained on biting prevention, dog walking, ect. I walk dogs throughout the week and stay with them throughout the week. I’m actually getting one of my own very soon. I would love to take care of your pet very soon! I make sure that I give them full on attention. I am very loving and supportive. I make sure they’re fed on time, and I make sure that they are walked regularly. I give them lots of time and affection.
About: Hi, I’m Sammi, a pet lover in North SD who lost my 18-year-old schnauzer in 2021 and has been pouring that same love into every pet I care for. We’re home all day, 7 days a week, so your fur baby will always have company, enjoy three walks daily, and get a paw wipe after every walk. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first, a double-door entry keeps them secure, no resident pets or kids means zero stress, and 18 years of experience means we treat every pup like our own.
“Callon has an amazing connection with rabbits! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! He truly cares for them and did a great job communicating and sending pictures to me while I was away. He went above and beyond to care for our bunnies, bought them extra fresh food and helped get supply’s for our new babies. My bunnies had a great time with Callon and I will 100% hire him anytime I need help with my rabbits.🐰🐰🐰”
“Sarah was a joy to work with! She did drop in visits for my cats while I was out of town and I returned home to happy cats. She even got my very shy cat to make an appearance, something friends who have been coming over for years haven’t been able to accomplish. Would recommend and book again!”
About: I have over 10 years of pet sitting experience and and have always had a passion for animals. I’m a responsible and attentive pet sitter who’s here to help while you’re away. I treat all pets like they’re my own and treat them how I want my dog to be treated while I’m away. Thank you for checking out my profile! My daily & weekly routines are built around the pets under my care. I’m lucky enough to have a flexible schedule so I can prioritize their needs and work around them. I have a fully fenced in backyard and live in a walkable neighborhood. I’m also able to crate your dog if need be, or accommodate any other needs you may have regarding your pets care.
About: I have always been a dog lover since I was little. In my adulthood, I have been the trusted sitter for many friends and neighbors. I even enjoy watching educational videos on dog behavior and training, so I'd love to help teach your pup some new tricks! Plus now i have a pup of my own! He is such a playful and friendly guy who would love some company :) he’s never met a dog he didn’t like, but also knows how to give dogs their space I work from home and have a pretty good spread of meetings, so I'm always ready for quick potty breaks or lunchtime walks. Weekends are either spent relaxing at home, or getting outside for some fresh air, and I'm happy to bring your dog along! I live in an apartment, but we do have a large courtyard. It is usually empty - so it's perfect to help get your dog's energy out without the distraction from other dogs! We also live right by a small lake that is great for longer walks!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Luis Rey
Rachel was fantastic with Emma! She took such amazing care of her while we were away and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She was incredibly accommodating, helpful, and kept us updated on Emma every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
Olivia was wonderful! I could tell right away that she took great care of my boys and kept everything so clean. I know my cats can make quite a mess around their food and litter every day, so coming home to those areas spotless was such a nice surprise! She was very punctual, and I loved receiving their little daily report cards and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. I will definitely hire Olivia again!
Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of Berries and sent us lots of updates and pictures. You can definitely tell how much she loves dogs—my puppy loved her from day one! I was very anxious about leaving my puppy with someone else, but after meeting Jessica, I felt so relieved and knew Berries was in good hands. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Berries! :)
Jenna was absolutely wonderful! This was my second time booking her, and she took such great care of my three cats for three weeks while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She sent me lots of pictures and updates every day, which I loved, and it was obvious from the photos that my kitties were happy, comfortable, and really enjoyed their time with her. She was attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring—even giving them brushies, Churus, and some outdoor patio time. 🥰 It meant so much to me to be able to enjoy my trip without worrying about them. I’m so grateful to Jenna and will absolutely continue booking her whenever I need a sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies! ❤️🐾
First time for us using rover but needed someone to take check in on our dog during our short 4 day trip. We were nervous about having a stranger come over to feed our indoor dog. Makenna made this service very easy. She was very responsive and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. She even brought in some Amazon packages for us and went out of her way to shut off a water hose we left running (by accident). We were very thankful to have found both rover and Makenna. Would for sure hire her again (and already planning on it next month). Highly recommend
Mary is a wonderful choice for a pet sitter. She took great care of my senior cat. My cat is usually pretty shy, but she instantly warmed up to Mary, and I received several lovely photos of my cat playing and getting some loving attention. I look forward to rebooking with Mary, and I would recommend her to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
