“May looked after our dog Duncan over the Thanksgiving Holiday. We were grateful that she was available and cared for Duncan along with her own dog. Notifications and photos were sent throughout the stay, which eased the tension of being without our Duncan. We appreciate the care Duncan received, and would recommend the service to anyone interested. Thanks for all!”
“Michael went above and beyond with Ollie, taking on the task of bringing him to our wedding for photos during his boarding stay. We are so grateful for his willingness to do this and the special memories we’ll get. Highly recommend him!”
“Yongzi took such incredible care of our dogs! She has watched them twice now and both times we got lots of updates and knew they were well taken care of. Our pups loved getting to run around in the backyard!”
“I was beyond happy with the service provided, my dog even came back with a schedule of training, so happy, o would definitely leave my dogs with Angelica again.”
“Zil has looked after our cat twice now. She sends lots of updates and takes care of our cat as one of her own. Our cat loves staying at Zil’s place while we’re away. Highly recommend! :)”
“Yating took good care of my cat Sofi for the second time! It’s always reassuring to leave Sofi with someone she already knows and trusts, and Yating provided such thoughtful and attentive care again.”
“Ehda took wonderful care of my dog, Snowy, over the Christmas and New Year break. She has such a warm and kind personality, which immediately put me at ease. Snowy was clearly very well cared for and happy during his stay. Her apartment was also extremely clean and well maintained, reflecting the high level of care she provides. This will definitely be my go-to place for Snowy during future vacations, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and have been dog sitting in San Diego throughout the last 5 years. I have many doggos I watch regularly, but I recently moved to north county and am hoping to meet new dog friends. My goal is to be communicative with you while providing to most loving and fun environment for your pup :) I have plenty of experience dog sitting, boarding, and walking and want to ensure you have peace of mind while you are away. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, with ranges of dietary and medical needs. Feel free to set up a meet and greet with me! I work remotely and my job is flexible, so it allows me to watch dogs at home, go on frequent walks, and make it to and from appointments if needed. When walking dogs, I ensure they are leashed and ready to go before leaving the house and work to ensure we avoid any of their triggers. When sitting or boarding dogs, I make sure they get frequent walks and most importantly a lot of love! I have a gated porch to allow some safe outdoor time in between walks and enjoy snuggling at night with dogs who spend the night. If provided, I am happy to crate dogs as well.
“We’ve relied on Kris as our trusted dog sitter for a few stays now, and she never disappoints. She and her family treat Oakley like one of their own, and he’s always so excited to visit and play fetch with them. We have total peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Mya was a dream! She took care of our little guy as if he were her own. Very communicative, sent lots of photos, and really focused on Oso, his walks and playtime all weekend long. We'll definitely be leaving Oso with her again in the future. :)”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter because our usual Rover was unavailable, and Jane was kind enough to meet with us and board our two dogs. She did an excellent job with them! She stayed on top of one of our dog's medicine schedule and took them on regular walks during the day and evening. Honestly, when we picked up our babies, we could tell they were sad to leave, so even the dogs were saying they had a good time with Jane! We'll definitely be reusing her services if anymore trips come up in the future!”
“First time booking with yue and it won’t be the last! She sent lots of updates with pictures and videos each day while my pup was staying at her place. She was a prompt communicator and super accommodating to my pup who’s pretty anxious and made sure she adjusted well.”
“Alina was an amazing sitter for our 80 lb lab! She was so professional, providing daily updates with photos and videos. Alina’s positive energy was genuine and it was clear our dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I highly recommend Alina!!”
“I immediately knew my pup was in good hands when I met Keely - he was immediately comfortable with her. She took him on plenty of walks and gave him all the puppy love! Highly recommend Keely , 5/5 experience - will definitely be using again!”
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“Zoe was great!! It was nice knowing right away that our cat was in such great hands! She was very kind and sent plenty of updates. My cat loved her! Will for sure be reaching out to Zoe again!”
“Robert hosted my two doodles for a week when I lost my regular sitter and was going out of the country for a week. He was very responsive and put my mind at ease. I’d definitely use him again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Solana Beach
Anjelica was the best! She obviously knows dogs and handled our girl perfectly. I’m super picky about who watches my dog but feel she is safe and well cared for with Angelica. I will book with her again!! Angelica is obviously a dog person and knows her stuff. She is very calm and reassuring. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my dog.
Valentina was amazing! She watched our energetic 10 month old golden doodle puppy and truly made it seem like it was easy. She was super communicative, sent photos and updates every day, and made us feel so at ease with the way she cared for him. Our puppy also loved her! We’ll definitely book with her again.
Elizabeth was an absolute angel for our dog Bowie! Bowie had so much fun relaxing and enjoying being with Elizabeth while we were traveling for our wedding. We got plenty of adorable photos and updates, and can tell she was extremely happy and well cared for. Thank you Elizabeth and we highly recommend booking with her for any pet care needs!!
Franklin had the best time with Caitlin!! From snuggles to playtime to pets and walks, Franklin had a blast. Caitlin is a great communicator, responds very quickly to any message, sent fun photos and video each day, is kind and most importantly adores your pet. Highly recommend!!
Laila did a great job of keeping me updated and taking care of Cali. I was gone for several weeks, and many days were very hot. She walked Cali early and adjusted to whatever care was needed. When I picked Cali up she was happy and you could tell she loved Laila. I would definitely recommend Laila and would be happy to book with her again!
Julia was absolutely wonderful with Radar! She watched him overnight and was very flexible and accommodating with the pickup and drop-off times, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated throughout his stay with pictures and updates, and she was always available whenever I had questions. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Radar was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Julia and would happily have her watch Radar again! 🐾
Very great experience for my dogs. Ari gave updates regularly and sent photos. Would highly recommend. My dogs can be nervous but they took to Ari quickly and didn’t have any transition issues when they returned home which I know can sometimes happen for nervous dogs.
We left our Wheaten Terrier, Finn, with Linda for a week, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Linda, her husband, and Sammie took wonderful care of Finn and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Linda kept us updated throughout the week with messages and photos - it was clear that he was treated like part of the family. We can definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter.

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.
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.
96% of sitters in Solana Beach 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 Solana Beach 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 Solana Beach.
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 Solana Beach. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
You and your Solana Beach 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.
