About: I’ve cared for energetic puppies and senior pets, handling feeding, walks, routines, basic training, playtime, and extra patience while learning each pet’s unique personality. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide dependable pet care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the week and on weekends. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect and genuine care. I carefully follow your instructions, lovingly supervise your pets, keep their routines consistent, and always keep you updated with their well-being.

About: Over the years, I’ve taken care of all my friends dogs. I’m currently the lead babysitter for my landlord’s chihuahua. I’d love to meet your pup today! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, so I’ll be able to prioritize your pets! It’s enriching work for me. I will adhere to whatever rules you have for your pet in their environment. I will only walk them in safe designated areas, and am extremely attentive.
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

“Lety was amazing! She was so patient and kind with my pup who is a bit reactive. She was also very attentive and communicative. She let me know how sofie was doing each time she checked on her and gave her lots of love and cuddles while we were away. Really appreciated her help when we were out of town and will definitely be requesting her for future services. Thank you, Lety!”

About: I personally have 3 dogs so I know how to deal with multiples in families. I used to walk for WAG before I got an office job, very experienced in drop-ins and Housesitting. Available whenever you need me! I work flexible part-time so this is a fun way for me and your pup(s) to stay active! I’ll follow your directions and if you have preferences of where to walk your pup(s) those will be followed as well. sticking to their routine will keep them comfortable if i’m meeting them for the 1st time
“We were away for 2 weeks, and Finzel took care of our 11yo dog with walks and dinner in the evenings (while our housesitter worked a late shift). She was professional, friendly, communicative, and reliable throughout. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup! Thank you Finzel!”

About: With years of hands on experience caring for my own dogs, family/friends and volunteering at rescue animal shelter dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I bring more than just reliability. I bring genuine love and connection to every pet I meet. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs, from energetic playtime to calming routines, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. My goal is simple: to give your dog the happiest, safest, and most tail wagging experience while you're away. I am currently working a part time job so the days I am available to work are Monday's, Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's! I am available anytime from 8am-1pm and if needed evening walks as well just shoot me a message and I will do my best to work around your schedule and needs! I am very open and flexible! I understand how important it is to build trust with both pets and their owners. For me, safety is always a top priority. At home, I ensure my pets are in a secure environment by using properly fitted collars, safe walking routes, and monitoring their behavior during play to avoid any potential hazards. I keep my home pet-proofed, making sure harmful items are out of reach. When I’m looking after clients' pets, I treat them with the same level of care and attention, sticking to any specific safety guidelines provided by the owner, like dietary restrictions, medication schedules, or leash rules. Trust is earned by being reliable, communicative, and consistent, so I make sure to keep pet parents updated with photos, texts, and progress reports.

“We had the pleasure of having Anastasia watch our furbabies this past weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier! She was very communicative, thoughtful, and helpful throughout the entire stay. She asked great questions about their care, including things I may have forgotten to mention in my instructions, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Our dogs had a wonderful time with her, and we truly appreciate the care and attention she gave them. Thank you so much, Anastasia!”
About: Currently, an employee of a 24hr animal hospital, as well as, worked as lead staff in a dog daycare for six years I'm certain your dog will have a very safe and fun time! I've had 2 dogs for 18 years and still have my one mini-Aussie and we frequently go on hikes and road trips. I'm also versed in a little grooming having done it my own Aussie. I currently work full-time on the weekends so weekdays are my main free schedule. I typically go on hikes (short or long), walks for photography, and sometimes go for a run. I believe in "leave no trace" and as an organized and neat person, I will tend to clean up for others ensuring that everything is well kept as my way of showing respect for other's homes. I will follow any routines and guidelines for your pet and also get frequent notifications on their status along with professional pictures (if requested). I can also offer to take your pet on hikes with me as I tend to go frequently. As an employee of an animal hospital, if any accidents were to happen I can take it upon myself to take them with me to the hospital.
About: My love for animals grew when I got my dog moe (the chihuahua in my photos) he is my bestfriend and he is the cutest dog ever! I love spending time with your pets and especially taking tons of photos to send to you. I like to give updates to you throughout the day so you know your bestfriend is safe with me! I do online school at the Junior College so I would be at your house for most of the time giving all the scratches and love to your pet ☺️ I am free throughout the week and can normally fit around anyones schedule. If things come up in the future they will be updated that week on my calendar if I become booked Whenever I leave to go run an errand I always check to make sure all the doors are locked. It is something I always do, even at my own home to make sure the pets are safe. I also like to take them out ever 2 hours just to be sure they are always relieved. If you ask for walks I always love doing them and getting some exercise for your dog and me!
“Shalaja always goes above and beyond to care for our pups. One of them had an accident, and she cleaned it up with no complaints. We can’t even tell where the accident was. Thank you!”
About: Hi there! My name is Kindall, and I am new to San Diego! I am so excited to meet your fur babies! I’m currently in school working toward my Ph.D., and since I’m not working a traditional job right now, I have pretty open availability for pet sitting, walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. Plus, every booking helps put me through school, so your pets can officially say they helped someone become Dr. Kirby. 😂 I’ve had animals my whole life and am comfortable caring for pets of all different sizes, ages, personalities, and needs. I currently have two dogs and cats of my own who love making new friends, so if your pup stays with me, they’ll have some built-in buddies. They take their hosting duties very seriously! If your pets would rather stay in the comfort of their own home, I’m happy to come to them too. I’m also willing to travel farther for multi-day stays. I have experience giving medications and injections and will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Most importantly: I genuinely love animals! We’ll walk, play, cuddle, relax, and probably have a few conversations they’ll pretend to understand. I’ll give your babies plenty of attention and care for them like they’re my own while you’re away! (P.S. I give report cards after!) I’m currently taking online classes and am not working outside the home, so my schedule is very flexible! I spend most of my days at home studying, reading, doing crafts, and hanging out with my own pets. This gives me plenty of availability for walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and whatever routine your pet is used to. I’m happy to work around their schedule whenever possible! I want everyone (pets and people included) to feel comfortable, so I require a meet-and-greet before care begins. I live in a duplex with a fenced yard where pets can play and enjoy plenty of potty breaks. Visiting pets can roam freely, and I also have a crate and a separate room available if anyone needs some quiet time or personal space. I have two dogs, so dogs staying with me should be comfortable around other dogs. I also have two cats, but they usually keep their distance from new animals and people. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine and make them as comfortable as possible in their own space!
About: I have grown up around pets especially dogs all my life. I have a sweet little dog named Taco Toast. I am looking forward to taking care of dogs and making them comfortable while their owner is away. All my friends ask me to take care of their dogs when they leave town because they know they will be in good hands. My townhouse is big, clean and comfortable. I live in Golden Hill and love it. Lots of good places to go on walks near by. My experience ranges from tiny toy dogs to large labs to over 120 pound dogs. I am happy to stay at your house as well. Also happy to check in on your pup or cat. I have experience living with cats as well and taking taking of cats when my friends have left town. I work remote from home and can be with your pup! I will change my routine to fit any needs as I can be flexible. I make sure each animal is safe and has what they need. I will communicate with you during your trip and make sure you are comfortable as well.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a natural connection with them. Over the years, I’ve helped dogs with training, exposure to new experiences, socialization, confidence building, and learning how to interact appropriately with people and other animals. I currently have two 8-month-old best friends at home in Ocean Beach: Disco, my friendly, playful puppy, and Allie, my confident and curious kitten. Both are young, social, and well-behaved. With your permission, I’d be happy to bring either along if you’d like your pup to get some supervised socialization. Disco loves meeting and playing with everyone, while Allie usually prefers observing the action from somewhere up high! I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, body language, comfort level, and individual needs. I’m happy to reinforce existing training or work on leash manners, recall, impulse control, socialization, confidence, and basic obedience while they’re in my care. Most importantly, I want to provide an affordable, dependable service for our local dog community so that great walks, enrichment, socialization, and attentive care are accessible to dogs who might otherwise not get enough of them. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine with my 9-month-old puppy, Disco. Our days are built around regular walks, exercise, training, play, socialization, and downtime, so adding another pup to our adventures fits naturally into my schedule. I’m home and available throughout much of the day and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting, training sessions, baths, or longer outings. If your dog enjoys company, they’re also welcome to join Disco for walks, playtime, training, or adventures around Ocean Beach! I care for every pet according to their individual personality, routine, training, and comfort level. I’ll follow your house rules and preferred commands, reinforce good habits, and give them plenty of exercise, enrichment, play, and attention. Safety and trust come first, especially when introducing dogs to new environments or animals. I pay close attention to body language and temperament and never force an interaction. If you’re interested in socialization, I can also bring Disco or Allie along for a carefully supervised introduction. Otherwise, they’ll stay home and your pet will have my full attention.
“Anthony jumped into action when we needed a last minute dog walker when going out of town. He was very communicative and clearly enjoyed the time with our pup. Looking forward to booking him again and knowing Finley is in good hands!”

About: Dogs are a huge part of my life. I have a Border Collie and a Dachshund who I’ve cared for and trained, and I genuinely miss them since moving to San Diego. I’ve also been pet sitting for friends and family for 3+ years, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs\. My background in crisis response and safety-focused work has made me very observant, responsible, and calm when things don’t go as planned. I take safety seriously, pay attention to behavior and routines, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, playtime, structure, medication, or just someone to hang out with, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. My availability is flexible, and I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and care needs. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays depending on the date and advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I provide attentive, dependable care by closely following your dog’s routines, monitoring their behavior, and maintaining a secure environment at all times.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Santa Ysabel. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers 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 walker.
