About: Hello my name is Ivanna, I’m 33 years old. I have extensive experience caring for dogs and have loved animals since I was a little girl. Caring for dogs has always been something that brings me genuine happiness, and I truly enjoy building strong bonds with them while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have been responsible for the daily care of a Yorkie for the past 7 years, including feeding, grooming, exercise, general care, and accompanying them to veterinary and medical appointments. I also cared for a German Shepherd for 4 years, providing regular walks, feeding, cleaning, exercise, and attentive day-to-day care. I have also cared for an amazing Pug and Husky, and I quickly developed a wonderful bond with all of them. I absolutely adore dogs and take their well-being very seriously. I love taking them on walks, playing with them, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are clean, well-fed, happy, and safe. To me, dogs are truly family, and I would treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give my own. I am currently caring for my two-year-old child and my 7 year old Yorkie, so my availability is Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I am reliable, committed, and happy to work within these hours. I provide in-home pet care, where I care for dogs in their own homes, including patios and indoor spaces. My responsibilities include taking dogs on walks, feeding them, playing with them, providing companionship and attention, and making sure they are comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I am also comfortable providing baths when needed and administering prescribed oral medications according to the owner’s instructions. I always make sure pets receive the care, patience, and attention they need throughout my visit.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs starting at the age of 12. I bathed, fed, loved on, and walked them. Can’t wait to gain your trust in taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed and this is a way for me to get back into the job force. I’ll be available anytime. I love animals and can’t wait to gain your trust. I’m offering to stay at the client’s house that way there dog(s) can be in a familiar environment and not have to worry about adapting to a change in scenery. I believe that will decrease any risk of stress added to your pets.

“This was the first time I had to find a sitter for my babies. It has been difficult especially since my sons are in law enforcement they were very skeptical about having me bring in someone I did not know into my home. I looked through many profiles and found Sylvia. I am extremely surprised on how well Dodger and Nala have been around Sylvia ESPECIALLY DODGER LOL They both have been very comfortable around her and that makes me feel better. Thank you Sylvia”

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities.

I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. 🐾❤️ I’d love to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, keep them company, and make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pets.

About: I’ve taken care of cats my entire life, I grew up in a very cat loving family, and I currently have two of my own. I also have a one year old dachshund who is my bestfriend, we’re always out and about weather it’s at the dog beach, hikes, weenie meetups etc! 🐾 he is also super friendly, he loves being around other dogs. He prefers dogs over people! I currently work full time but I don’t work on the weekends. On weekdays I’m available anytime after 3pm however on the weekends I’m available all day! I have two of the friendliest kitties that are always looking for another friend to play with! They welcome both cats and dogs so as long as your fur baby is okay with cats it will work out perfectly and if not I can easily keep them away from your baby!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of friends/famiky co-workers while being in the navy the past 8 years. I’m currently taking care of my brothers dog while he is deployed. I only work a few hours a week, so when my friends go out to see, I will watch/ walk their pets I’m currently working around 4-5 hours a day so I’m pretty much free all day after 12-1pm. I would be able to walk/feed pets before I go to work and anytime after I get out I have a fenced backyard that my dog and my brothers dog that I’m currently taking care of use. They are both trained in and outside the crate. They are both friendly dogs but will be put in the crate if needed

About: I have been caring for dogs and puppies for roughly 25 years. Growing up my parents would breed AKC Yellow Labs and I would care for both the father and mother and then the puppies once born up until 8-12 weeks of age! I have experience with puppies along with senior dogs. I also had a Maltese growing up so I know how special the little breeds can be! I currently own a 7 year old Golden Retriever and absolutely love our walks and play dates at parks, I figured I might as well extend my love for dogs and puppies to those in my local area! I would love to meet your fur baby! I'm a stay at home mom to two girls and one fur baby! I'm currently offering consistent dog walk/play dates on the weekends, whatever time is needed. Weekday dog walks are currently only offered if it is a consistent date and time each week. Our fur babies are our world! I know this first hand with my own. I care for each and every pet differently depending on how the owner describes the temperament of their fur baby.

About: In addition to having two senior pets and a cat of my own, I currently work as a veterinary assistant at an emergency animal hospital, where I care for pets in urgent situations and have experience recognizing signs of illness, administering treatments and keeping animals calm and comfortable during stressful times. I also previously worked as a client care representative at an animal specialty hospital, where I developed a strong understanding of pet health, client communication, and the importance of compassionate care. Moreover, I volunteer as a dog walker at the San Diego Humane Society and at a pig sanctuary, which has given me experience working with animals of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy who needs consistency and patience or a senior pet who requires a gentler routine and extra attention, I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their fur baby is in caring, knowledgeable hands. I am in hospital during the late afternoons and evenings from Sunday through Wednesday. This means I'm available for morning and midday visits on those days, as well as more flexible availability Thursday through Saturday. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and communicate clearly about my availability. When I'm caring for your pet, I make sure they receive the attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection they need while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I am willing and receptive to any wishes, rules and specifications when it comes to ensuring the safety and happiness of your fur baby! I encourage communication and would love to share photos and updates of our walks and adventures!

Another wonderful experience with our sitter! ❤️ She continues to be absolutely amazing with our pup, and we couldn’t ask for someone better to care for him. Communication is always great, she’s dependable, and she treats our dog with so much love and attention. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust and rely on, especially with our busy schedules. We’re so grateful to have found her, and our pup is always in great hands! We will definitely continue booking with her. Highly recommend! 🐾💕

FAQs for Pet Sitting - San Ysidro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Ysidro is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 7,968 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across San Ysidro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

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
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
