About: As someone that calls my dog "my daughter" - I know how important it is that your dogs are happy and safe while you're away! I have always been a huge animal lover and grew up with dogs (among other animals such as hedgehogs and turtles...) I live in a townhome in Encinitas with my boyfriend and mom, who are both also major dog lovers. As I am currently getting my masters degree online, I will be the person with them all day taking care of them! I have one dog named Fudge- a 10 year old medium sized cavalier/ bernese mountain dog rescue. She is mellow and usually keeps to herself. She is fine with sitting on the couch all day or going on long hikes or spending the day at the dog beach, so we are used to all kinds of activity levels from dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages- puppies to seniors. I will treat your pup like my own and provide customized care to make sure they feel spoiled and loved during their stay. I am working on getting my masters degree in behavioral analysis online and not currently working a job so I will be home with the dogs all day. I have a fenced in yard and also commit to walking my dog daily. I can bring the dogs on many adventures such as hikes, parks, dog beach, etc if the family desires or feels comfortable with that.
“Alix was very nice and responsible. I wasn't able to leave my dog due to her not getting along with the others. For safety reasons, did not do the stay. She was very nice and said she will issue a refund. I would recommend her.”
“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. :)”
“Yating was so great with my dog Joey and he loves her! Our first time boarding with her was so well we definitely will go back to her again. She made sure all his needs were met and gave him plenty of walks and exercise. She was so accommodating and sweet to us! Grateful to have found a great sitter”
“Robin was great! She was very communicative and kept us updated throughout our trip, including sending us pictures of our pup. We really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Lan is very kind and I felt comfortable leaving Koji with her. I was nervous because we got him during the pandemic and had never left him before. But she was great with him. She sent several photos a day and so I could see how happy he was. Thank you Lan!”
“Great dog sitters! Kept me updated on how my Duboo was doing. Made sure she ate throughout her stay by even sharing some of their pet’s fresh food. Sent photos throughout the stay and Duboo was always walked! Would definitely rebook!”
“You can tell right away that Brooke is an amazing dog sitter - she asked great questions about Bonnie to make sure she was comfortable during her stay. I received super cute photos too! Will definitely book Brooke again, 10/10, 5 stars.”
“Holly and Sean were fantastic with our 4-year-old girl, Taro, and I can't recommend them enough. She had her own room, so she had a comfortable place to settle in, and she got plenty of time to play with their dogs, Levi and Lily. Every morning they took her out for early walks in the canyon near their house, which kept her out of the heat and gave her great exercise and new things to sniff. Holly was also incredibly communicative. We got daily updates and pictures, which made it so easy to relax while we were away. Taro had a blast, and it showed. We'll be booking them again without hesitation. Five stars!”
“Laura was a great sitter and my dog Nico loved her. Laura was great with sending updates and was very accommodating with drop off and pick ups. Would book her again and recommend her to others as well!”
“If you are on the fence— let this be your sign to book Apple!! She is absolutely wonderful. It was our first time using Rover, as our usual sitter moved away, and I was a bit nervous that I wasn’t going to find someone who I trusted. But when I first Apple, she immediately relieved that anxiety. My pups had so much fun and got so much love. We will be back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Solana Beach
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!!
Ehda was absolutely great! I was really nervous about leaving Remi for two weeks since I’ve never been away from him for that long before, but she made the whole experience so much easier. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands and really appreciated how well she took care of him while I was gone. Her mom also helped out and was so sweet, which I really appreciated as well :) It was clear Remi was very well cared for and had plenty of love and attention. I would definitely trust Ehda with Remi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
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.

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.

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.

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.
