“She was great with our senior dog. Definitely made this first experience a pleasant one and will use this app again in the future thanks to her great service.”
“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”
“I couldn’t be happier, and neither could my goldendoodle. Jean Pierre was very responsive, answered all of my questions, and even extended my booking last minute to accommodate a change in my plans. Most importantly, my dog loved it! In fact, she probably would have been happy staying longer she had so much fun! I will definitely be taking her back to Jean Pierre in the future.”
“Alan did a wonderful job taking care of Yari! I really appreciated the many pictures and videos he sent as well any clarifying questions which made us feel like Yari was in good hands :)”
“Cristina and her hubby took amazing care of my dog again. He didn't want to come home. I am so shocked and surprised how he eats right away and follows all orders and just feels right at home every time he is there. Hope to book with Cristina on a more regular basis.”
“Anyely was amazing. She texted pics every day with comments about behavior and more. Totally flexible with delivery and pick up and my little dog Kayla was clearly well taken care of.”
“Claudia & Cris were beyond amazing! They had a gorgeous area for Kilo to run around and meet other dogs. They also strived in updating me daily with cute videos of our baby and trained her every step of the way. Highly recommend for anyone to have their dog stay with this team!”
“Adam had a great time at Briana’s place! He was well taken care of, and Briana was timely with responses and kept me regularly updated on things. I’d be happy to go with her again!”
“Natalee was an amazing sitter for our little guy Luffy! She is super sweet and kept great communication throughout his stay, making sure to share some adorable photos of their weekend adventures together :) Luffy seemed to have a great time and was even excited to see Natalee again upon dropping him off. We highly recommend Natalee to take care of your pups and look forward to having a safe space for Luffy to stay for future vacations!”
“Brittany was so attentive, thoughtful and knowledgeable while caring for the needs and health issues our cat and dogs have. We recently switched from another sitter, who we had used for two years, who charged a LOT and was a registered vet tech. That sitter always had so many pets at once that we got to the point that it felt like our pets were just another number. The last time there our pet had an incident due to another animal and an"oversight" so we decided to try Brittany and we are so glad we did! She really does give one on one care and kept us so well informed the entire time. Our pets just loved her and family. Thank you so much Brittany!!!”
“We met Teresa and immediately got good vibes. Shortly after booking a boarding stay, we learned we had to go out of town less than 48 hours after that trip. She was very accommodating and gladly accepted our pup for a second stay. Her yard is very shaded with tall fences and perfect for our 1.5 year old, 60 llb pitty to romp around. She took him on adventures and walks every day, gave him an opportunity to play in a kiddie pool and cared for him like her own. She was very communicative and sent great pics every day like a proud auntie. Teresa followed our instructions/requests and learned our pups quirks quickly. I am beyond grateful to find someone to care for and love my pup the way she does!”
“To anyone looking for an amazing sitter, look no further! Robin & Rahn have been a godsend, and I’m so happy I found them to watch my little buddy anytime I’m out of town. Before I found them, I didn’t have anyone I really trusted to watch him. I always get a morning update then an evening update with TONS of photos and videos. They have a nice backyard that Finn is obsessed with and he always comes back so happy Please consider Robin and Rahn the next time you need someone to watch your fur child 😊”
“Melinda and family seems like a very good family to have our puppy stay with while we are away. We received plenty of photos for several days, which shows that our puppy was pretty well cared for. Smelled like Melinda had washed our dog too, which was a very nice gesture. Thanks so much for caring our precious "evil" beast. Recommended for others to consider as a family friendly pet sitting option.”
“Moose & Maggie had a great time to with Monique. I received posts that kept me updated on how they got settled in and enjoyed their stay. I will use Monique again when I am back in San Diego.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and absolutely love making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I started dog sitting with my mom through Rover, where we cared for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I also have professional experience working as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable hands on experience with both cats and dogs and taught me how to recognize their individual needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply some companionship, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. ❤️🐶🐱 I’m currently on maternity leave until September 7, so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to be home with your pets throughout the day. I’m only away from home for about an hour each day when I go to the gym, so your pets will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I believe every pet does best when they’re given patience, consistency, and the opportunity to feel comfortable at their own pace. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their home, I’ll make sure they have a calm environment where they can feel secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and will give them as much playtime, affection, or space as they need. My goal is for them to feel relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.
“We’re so grateful that Debora was able to watch our dog Lucy on such short notice! ❤️ We needed a last-minute sitter for the day while we attended a wedding, and she was so helpful and accommodating. We really appreciated her taking care of Lucy and giving us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely book again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - San Ysidro
We had such a wonderful experience with Shania and truly can’t recommend her enough! This was our first time leaving Murphy with someone, so naturally we were a little nervous, but Shania made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was incredibly easy to work with, quick to respond, and made scheduling a meet & greet so easy. We really appreciated how genuinely interested she was in learning about Murphy, his routine, and all of his little habits so she could keep things as consistent as possible for him while we were away. Throughout his four-night stay, Shania was extremely communicative and sent us frequent updates and photos, which meant so much to us and gave us so much peace of mind. Murphy looked like he was having the best time with her and her dog, Minnie! We were worried about leaving our puppy for the first time, but after meeting Shania and seeing how caring and attentive she was with Murphy, those worries quickly went away. We can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of our boy and making his—and our—first boarding experience such a positive one. We would absolutely trust Shania with Murphy again and highly recommend her!
We booked an unplanned, 10-day stay for one of our girls (Sato) with Kenia. She spent time with us both through the app and on the phone answering all of our questions (this was our first time boarding one of our girls), and spent quite a while with Sato and I to help Sato feel more comfortable when I dropped her off. Kenia has a very nice setup her guests, a large gated front yard, and a very large backyard, and she provides her guests free reign in the house. I felt confident that Sato was well treated and cared for all week, and I would definitely board Sato with Kenia again :)
Raymond was very communicative, friendly and sent cute pics of my dog daily. He was very understanding and reasonable for a last minute weekend booking. We felt very at ease leaving our dog with him. He was very accommodating and our dog did so well with his dog. We will definitely book more stays in the future. Thank you so much!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in San Ysidro can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their San Ysidro home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your San Ysidro.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in San Ysidro. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your San Ysidro sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
