“Ellyn is amazing… my pup loved her from the get go. Ellyn was super attentive to his needs and he was a happy boy. I would heartily recommend Ellyn for all your dog sitting/walking needs!”
About: Had a dog for over 10 years… have helped family members and friends over the years with pet sitting /dog walking. Just graduated from college and looking for a little extra income doing things I love like hanging out with animals! I work fully remote from home on central time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets in the early morning and late afternoon! I have access to a car or bike and love to go on long walks everyday. I give my full attention to the pets and make sure they are well fed and given lots of cuddle and love no matter what!
“Tori was a great sitter for my cat. Kept in good contact with me from first contact through the visit. She spent time with my cat and completed all the tasks each day. I appreciated the photos each day. I will book her again.”
“Analisa took such great care of our cat! I got timely updates and lots of photos during each visit. She was easy to communicate with and very thorough. Would definitely have her back!”
“We were in bit of bind as we extended our vacation another week to attend to some business. We had only booked 2 weeks with a previous pet sitter and needed help with the last minute planned 3rd week. Audrey, was very easy to communicate with and had no problem”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love them! I’m experienced with all sizes and ages and can care for medical conditions if needed. I’m usually available during the week in early mornings or evenings. I’m also available any time on Fridays or weekends. Happy to work around your schedule as much as possible. When coming into your home, I will be clean and respectful. I am happy to drive your dog to the park/dog beach in my own vehicle.
“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!”
“Jacob was great with our dogs! He is patient, kind, and super communicative. Our dogs were happy to meet him, and we felt confident knowing they were in great hands. He has a great attention to detail as well as understanding of the different personalities dogs have. Thanks Jacob!”
“Iulia is an amazing wonderful lady who Molly completely loves! She went over and beyond what we expected!! Molly gets complete love and attention from Iulia when she comes!!! Iulia is very responsible & knowledgeable for caring for dogs!! I highly recommend her!!”
“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for many years and currently have two dogs of my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, including puppies and older dogs. I’m happy to walk, feed, play, give lots of attention and, most importantly, make sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog just like I would want someone to treat my own! I work full time but have a flexible schedule, especially in the afternoons and evenings. I’m also available on weekends. For the right family and location, I may be available for a quick daytime visit as well. I’m happy to work with you to find a routine that works for your pet. I provide care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime and any other care they need. Most importantly, I’ll give them plenty of attention and love so they feel happy, safe and cared for while you’re away.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Solana Beach on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of September 2026, there are 10,011 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Solana Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
