“Emily was a saint with my anxious dog and her initial “stranger danger” with her. She kept me posted throughout the trip and spent extra time making sure she was comfortable with her during the visits, she even brought in extra treats for her. Absolutely would recommend Emily for any pet!”

“Anna is an amazing pet sitter. She took good care of my fur baby for 8 days and did both AM and PM visits. She did great with giving my cat his medicine and ensuring he took it. I felt comfortable knowing she was there to care for him twice a day. It made my trip much more enjoyable so, thank you Anna for all your hard work!”

“I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!”

“Fantastic. Can't say enough about her handling of what we thought was an unusual situation. An obviously pre-owned cat took up residence on our screen porch and while eager to be fed, was really craving attention. A mellow, neutered, ear-tipped critter looking for lap time couldn't be turned out even though we were leaving on a family trip. Blayne fed, watered and spent time with Felix, (yeah, we named him) while we were gone. Blayne will be seeing Felix again.”
“Time away was seamless. Shauna took great care of Cookie. She was timely and made sure Cookie had playtime Daily. I will definitely request Shauna for future jobs. Many thanks Rover!”

I also have experience with caring for animals with special needs such as medication, disabilities, or abuse recovery. I am a part-time receptionist and freshman in college, however with a busy schedule, I always make time for my 3 cats, I visit my moms to take care of her 3 dogs for any emergencies or assistance for general pet care, and still manage to care for my clients pets with all requests followed. I like to gently build trust with any animal I'm working with, even if they never end up letting me pet them, I'm not bothered. I'm there to care for them, keep them safe, and provide comfortability.

“Janet was amazing. She did twice-daily drop-in visits and made sure my cat got her medication and supplements at the right times. More than that, though, she was great with with my cat, figured out her habits, and accommodated her whims. I was gone for ten days, and they developed their own routine. Janet sent lots of photos, so I knew my cat was doing well. I highly recommend her and will have her look after Tacy again in the future.”

About: I have house sat dogs and cats as a job for about 4 years. I have my own dogs as well. I’ve taken care of big and little dogs, puppies, dogs that need medications and shots, and older cats. I am currently a full time student in college but have many free days and times throughout the week to take care of your lovely pets. I will follow every instruction that is told to me while i’m in the clients home. I will also go above and beyond to make sure the client and pet is satisfied.
About: I bring two years of prior experience as a Rover pet and house sitter, meaning I already understand the high level of trust, communication, and respect required when stepping into your home and caring for your furry family members. At 27 years old, I offer a mature, highly responsible, and attentive approach to pet care. I pride myself on being deeply observant of a pet's energy and health, ensuring they stay safe, active, and completely at ease while you are away. >Flexible Server Schedule with Great Availability Because I work as a server, my weekly schedule is highly flexible and leaves me with large blocks of open time during the day. This structure allows me to easily prioritize pet care and drop in when your animals need it most. Whether you need regular house sitting, daytime check-ins, or mid-day walks, I can be readily available with just a little advance notice. I am excellent at managing my time, so you can count on me to be prompt, reliable, and entirely focused on keeping your pets on their normal routines. Safety and trust come from understanding that every animal is unique. My own pets are deeply loved, and a lifetime of living with animals has taught me the importance of balancing their natural daily needs—whether that means high-energy playtime, dedicated exercise, or quiet, uninterrupted relaxation. • Following Your Routine to a T: You know your pet best. I pride myself on being exceptional at following the owner’s specific directions. Whether it’s a strict feeding schedule, specific walking routes, or house rules, I ensure your routines are maintained exactly as you want them to keep your pet's stress levels zero. • In Your Home: Because I focus heavily on house sitting, my priority is maintaining a secure environment. I double-check locks, secure gates, and keep a highly attentive eye on your pet's body language and well-being in their own comfortable surroundings. • In My Home: When I do care for pets in my home, they receive constant, vigilant supervision. I keep the environment calm, organized, and closely managed so that every animal feels safe and gets the personal attention they deserve.
About: My experience with caregiving comes from working as a preschool teacher, where I was responsible for the daily care, safety, and well-being of young children. This experience has taught me patience, attentiveness, responsibility, and how to handle different personalities and needs. Outside of work, I have also had experience caring for family members' pets and understand the importance of making sure animals feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I'm comfortable helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets company. I'm happy to follow each owner's specific instructions and routines to make sure their pets receive the best care possible! Hi! My name is Natalie! I'm a caring, responsible, and dependable person who genuinely loves animals. I have experience caring for children as a preschool teacher, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and the ability to provide attentive care. I'm currently taking some time away from teaching to focus on my education and am looking for opportunities to earn some extra income while doing something I enjoy. I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your furry friends company, I'll treat your pets like they're my own! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 I have a nice secluded yard. I also walk daily so it would be nice to have a buddy with me. My neighborhood has more older couples with only a couple of friendly dogs who I see everyday on my walk.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve assisted with whelping litters, ensuring each puppy gained weight appropriately, met all nutritional requirements, and received attentive care during their earliest stages of life. I also helped with early potty training, socialization, and sensory enrichment to support healthy development. In addition, I have experience caring for elderly pets by providing gentle, patient care, administering medications when needed, monitoring their comfort, and adapting to their changing needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom so I’m available any time and any day to look after your fur babies when needed. I am more comfortable with taking care of your fur babies from your home just because I do have a senior Great Dane who is not the friendliest toward other doggies.

On weekends I am available at any time of the day! I will spend lots of time with your pet, regardless of whether I am staying at your home or taking them for a walk outside
About: I have had animals since I was a child, and I have worked in a veterinary assistant position for almost 4 years, so whatever attention your older or younger animals need, I can also provide. I am a full-time college student, so my schedule will vary between semesters, and between weeks. However, I am more than willing to verify my schedule with you if there are any questions. I live in a small apartment with my cat and reptiles, so having other animals here is not worth it in my opinion. So I have no problems with going over.
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for some sweet amazing pets over the years. Having 2 dogs myself : a Chihuahua and a husky: I'm able to care for various breeds and sizes. My experience includes feeding, walking, providing companionship to animals in their own homes. I've also had the opportunity to work with different breeds and temperaments, allowing me to adapt my caregiving techniques to each individual pet's needs. I take pride in creating a safe and loving environment for my clients' furry friends, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for in their absence. Feeding, walking, and cuddling are all part of my daily routine, and my dogs would probably tell you I’m their personal superhero. I bring that dedication and joy to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. When caring for pets in someone else's home, I prioritize their comfort and security. I follow their specific routines, ensuring consistent feeding times, administering medications as prescribed, and providing regular exercise. I treat their home with respect, cleaning up after the pets and maintaining a tidy environment. I also keep a detailed record of their behavior, any special needs, and any incidents that may occur. By providing attentive and responsible care, I aim to alleviate any worries the pet owners may have while they're away.
About: I am such an animal person- they are the best friends and sweetest creatures. I’m incredibly passionate about animal caretaking; I love meeting people’s pets and getting to know their personalities and quirks. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young; I dogsat for families in my neighborhood and took care of my two cats. Before she passed, I took care of my senior cat Jasmine, so I also have experience in senior animal care. I currently walk, feed and take care of dogs in the local area while I work as a teaching assistant and master's student at NMSU. Additionally, I volunteer at a local animal shelter to take care of and keep company furry friends! Pet care is an important part of my routine; its good exercise and being around animals is one of my favorite things. Sometimes the best part of my day is when I get to meet a little friend! I really enjoy spending time with them outside as well. Before animal sitting, I make sure I go over the pet’s needs with the owner, any triggers, boundaries and environmental hazards. I make sure to be cleanly and efficient while making sure that the pet feels comfortable and engaged with!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in San Ysidro is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $20 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 176 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.

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.
