“Sara was pleasant to interact with and provided lot of pictures and little updates during her drop ins. She followed all instructions and my kitties seemed perfectly happy when I returned. Would definitely recommend / book again!”
“I have a real sense of security and comfort when Ellyn cares for my girl Gretel, my GSD. Ellyn is a true professional with the perfect blend of structure and sweetness that Gretel needs. This particular assignment was to give Gretel her dinner and hang out for a bit so her alone time before I got home late that night wouldn’t be too long. Gretel was excited but not frantic when I got home which tells me her time with Ellyn was enriching and comfortable for her. Thank you Ellyn!”
“Mya is so attentive & kind to my guineas! When I explained how to take care of them, she took notes which no sitter has done before. She’s playful and kind to my guineas too. Super communicative and overall the best!”
“Karen was amazing taking care of my two cats when I was away on a work trip. She cares so much and was very communicative. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”
“Crystal was punctual, warm, and provided great communication and care for our two cat children. She is also apparently magical, as she was able to give some love to our resident shy guy who hides from everyone. Will call on her again soon!”
“Talia did an amazing job with my Bubba, she gave him lots of love and good care and always kept me updated! My pup is a handful so I’m very grateful for Talia’s extra efforts! Felt so much better knowing my baby was in good hands. By far the best dog sitter I’ve had”
“Analisa did an amazing job of caring for my cats. She went above and beyond for one of my medically needy cats. Her frequent updates and pictures made me feel very comfortable and reassured that the cats were well taken care of. The house was also clean when I returned. I will definitely be requesting her for our next trip!”
“Dana is a lifesaver!! I was nervous about leaving my new pup with someone new, but she's been absolutely fantastic!! I can go to work with peace of mind knowing that Tamayo is in great hands!”
“Needed a few drop in’s with my cat Leo super last minute & Yue was able to come and hang out & play with him multiple times! She is so sweet, responsive, & sent me tons of pics & videos of Leo while I was gone. She even cleaned his litter box without me even asking her to. Definitely recommend! 💛”
About: Hi, I’m Daisy! I have three cats of my own—Hehe and Haha (15) and Toto (1)—all of whom I’ve raised since they were kittens. I come from a big cat-loving family and have years of experience fostering cats of all ages. I'm familiar with everything from senior cat care and administering special diets to keeping playful kittens engaged and happy. Whether your cat needs extra cuddles, medication, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm here to help! I currently work full-time as a research associate, but I love spending my free time with animals! Pet care fits perfectly into my evenings and weekends, and I’m happy to do early mornings or drop-ins depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals is a joyful break from the lab! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. With experience caring for senior cats, young kittens, and pets with special diets, I understand the importance of being attentive and gentle, especially when meeting new animals. I'm very clean and organized, and I make sure to leave your home just as I found it. I take the time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
About: I have owned, walked, and dog sat for neighbors/friends since I was in high school. I love every dog and they are all good dogs! I currently work Sundays and Thursdays all day but I can be flexible depending on my client schedule. Request it and I can let you know if it works:) I am great at following any instructions. Whatever you have requested of me I will be happy to do! Dogs deserve the best so I will make sure your dog is happy and well cared for.
“Janet was wonderful - very easy to work with, generous and kind with our dog who loved her, and very detailed in her reports. Will definitely book her again. Thank you Janet!”
“Olivia was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel great with her constant and consistent updates about my baby. I would 1000% recommend for anyone looking for help with their animal kiddos <3”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, a chihuahua and now a golden retriever who is 5. I love all animals and pets and have experience walking neighbors dogs 4x per week. I am an avid walker and love walking dogs and have walked multiple dogs at a time. I am considerate, cleanly and will take great care of your pets and home. My family and I spent 2 summers fostering dogs from Helen Woodward Animal Center. Fostering consisted of taking care of puppies, adult dogs for 1 - 2 timeframes until the pets were ready to go up for adoption. This taught me a lot about caring for animals and giving medication, if needed. Last, I also have experience with Female Athlete Volunteer (FAV) organization and have volunteered at senior care facilities during events. I am currently a full time Senior in high school and have class from 9am-4pm Monday through Friday. I am available in the mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. Once summer starts, I am available full time Monday through Sunday. Since I’m still in high school, I only care for pets in my client’s home so they can stay in a place where they’re already comfortable and used to. I try to keep their routine as normal as possible such as feeding them on schedule, making sure they get enough walks and playtime, and giving them lots of attention so they don’t feel stressed while their owner is away. I’m very mindful about safety as I like keeping doors and gates secure and locked, using leashes on walks, and making sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I will also be respectful of your home and keep things clean, follow any instructions you leave, and will send updates or photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing that your pet is safe, happy, and well taken care of while you’re gone.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Solana Beach
Daisy is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! My senior dog is pretty high maintenance, she takes medications, has a complicated feeding routine, and has separation anxiety/hard time opening up to strangers but she immediately warmed up to Daisy. I appreciated all the pictures and prompt updates she sent me while I was away, I can’t recommend her enough.
Marla was an incredible sitter!! She was kind, communicative, and went out of her way to help care for our diabetic kitty and our home. In the heat of summer we had some ants show up and wildfire scare while we were away. Marla was so thoughtful. Our kitty loved her and was happy when we came home. Thank you!! 💕🫶
Chunli was an amazing cat sitter! She followed all of our instructions carefully and always left detailed updates after each drop-in visit. She took wonderful daily photos of Oreo, and it was clear from both the pictures and her updates that he really took a liking to her. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. We also really appreciated that she noticed and shared changes in his bathroom habits. We would absolutely book Chunli again and hope she’s available the next time we’re out of town. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Couldn't recommend Jasmine enough! She was super communicative, kind and sent lots of photo updates while I was out of town. We had one of our walkers fall through while on vacation and she had no problem helping us out last minute :) Definitely will be using her services again in the future!
Ari is EXCEPTIONAL!!! We have a VERY uncomfortable 11 yr old pup and do not ever leave her alone. She warmed up to Ari extremely fast. Her communication was excellent. You can instantly tell her love for pups (animals) Couldn’t be happier finding her on this App. We will absolutely be using her in the future and are thrilled with the peace of mind knowing our pup is in incredible hands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cary is a wonderful caring petsitter. She was just the right person to stay with our shy, quirky, older Bernese Mountain Dog. She understood that our girl is shy and needed to make the first moves to become friends, which Cary understood and they became good friends. Communication was great, lots of cute pics from walks and chilling out. 100% happy, 100% would use her again. Highly recommend her!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Solana Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Solana Beach. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
