About: Hi! I'm Ashleigh, and I love spending time with dogs of every age, size, and personality through walks and drop-in visits. Whether your pup is a bouncy puppy still learning the ropes, a senior who needs a gentler pace, or somewhere in between, I'm happy to adjust to what they need. I have hands-on experience with extra-large breeds — my own dog is a 120 lb Alaskan Malamute, so I'm very comfortable with big, strong, and sometimes stubborn breeds that need a confident, calm handler. I know what it takes to safely walk and manage a large dog, from leash handling to reading body language. I'm also cat-savvy, so if you have a cat at home, no problem — I'm comfortable and respectful around feline housemates during drop-in visits. I have a flexible schedule with consulting and I'm available Monday through Friday, mornings until mid-afternoon. If you're heading to work and need someone to swing by for a walk or a check-in on your pup, I've got you covered during those daytime hours when they need it most. Since I offer walks and drop-in visits rather than in-home boarding, your pet stays in their own familiar environment the whole time. I focus on safety during the visit itself - secure leash handling for dogs of all sizes (including XL breeds), checking food/water, and following any specific instructions you leave for feeding, medication, or routine. I always double-check doors and gates are secure when arriving and leaving, and I send photo updates so you know your pet is safe and happy.

“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 always had a huge love for dogs and have been the designated dog sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always checking in on pups, taking them for walks, and giving them lots of love. I’ve also spent plenty of time caring for dogs overnight while their owners were out of town. I truly treat every dog like they’re my own and love getting to know their unique personalities. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pup, whether they need a walk, a quick check-in, or someone to stay with them while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I work full time remotely in HR and love traveling and exploring new places! I’ve always loved dogs and have wanted one of my own for years, but with my current travel lifestyle, now isn’t the right time. Dog sitting and walking feels like the perfect way to spend time with pups, get some extra steps in, and make a little extra money to put toward my travels. I’d love to give your pup some love and attention! I’m a responsible, respectful, and trustworthy person who will treat your home and pets with the same care I would my own. I’m very mindful of personal spaces, keep things clean and tidy, and always follow any instructions you provide. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, checking in on your pup, or spending more time in your home, you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring and respectful hands.

Del Mar, CA, 92014

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager, and I truly love spending time with animals—it feels like such an honor and a privilege. While I don’t currently have pets of my own due to my travels, caring for other people’s pets helps fill that void until I can adopt a furry friend of my own! I live in Del Mar off Stratford and work from home with a flexible schedule. I pet sit and dog walk for friends and family whenever I can because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I try to stay in the area for convenience, and my rates are negotiable if you really need a hand! Please note I’ve recently raised my listed rates a bit because the platform takes roughly 27–30% in fees, so what you see isn’t what I actually take home. I want to keep my rates fair and reasonable while also making sure the time and care I provide are sustainable for me. I’m always happy to talk about pricing, especially for neighbors, repeat clients, longer stays, or situations where someone just needs a little extra help. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I always make sure the environment is secure, free of hazards, and suited to the pet’s needs. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including dietary restrictions, medication schedules, and preferred routines. When walking dogs, I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding unsafe areas and extreme weather conditions. In a client’s home, I ensure doors and gates are properly closed, and I respect the pet’s space while providing plenty of attention and care. My goal is to create a stress-free, comfortable experience for both pets and their owners!

About: I’ve been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my entire life, and I truly love animals. They bring me so much joy, and I believe they deserve nothing but the best care, attention, and love. I’ve also ridden and cared for horses since I was 10… I always joke that if I can confidently handle a 1,200 lb animal, I can probably handle your dog! 😊 My friends would describe me as loyal, reliable, responsible, and genuinely happy to be around. When your pets are in my care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m also very respectful of your space and will take just as much care with your home while you’re away. I currently work remote 100% of the time so I can be there during the day time and evening. I also love to go on long walks so they can join for those if you’d like. I would treat your home exactly how I treat mine with respect, care, and with lots of love! I am clean responsible and would ensure your dog is loved on all the time. They might not even notice you are gone (;

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for animals from horses to birds, cats and dogs, you can feel at ease knowing that your fur baby is in good hands. I have cared for senior animals and puppies. I was the main caregiver for 6 dogs and 2 horses while growing up in Colorado. Each new animal friend I meet will be treated like family. Feel free to ask me any additional questions.

About: I've owned multiple breeds of dogs from overly energetic Jack Russels, to water-loving Huskies, to lap cuddling Maltese. I am excellent with dogs and would love to spend time with your fur baby. My specialty is tiring out active medium to large breed dogs, however I'm happy to tone it down to a stroll for your elderly or pocket-sized pup. Positive affirmations and personalized attention are a given as well! I am also a big gardener and am able to water and maintain your garden/indoor plants while you’re away as well. I have experience with caring for disabled dogs and for managing aggressive behaviors in dogs as well. I have full open availability for walks, dog park play sessions, hikes, beach outings and overnight stays. My dog can tag along or stay home depending on your preferences. I will treat your dog with as much care and love as I do my own girl, Chloe. It is a scary and daunting process to find and trust a pet sitter which I understand first-hand. I can assure you I am obsessed with dogs and would be honored to spend time with your fur babies.

About: Hi, I’m McKenna! I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals and have had dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of mine. I’m also very much a cat person! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and at home. I’m very active and would love to take your dog to the beach, out on a trail, or for a long walk, but I’m just as happy spending the day with a couch potato who would rather lounge in the sun. I’m flexible and happy to follow whatever routine and pace works best for your pet. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable with the extra patience and attention they often require, including medications, mobility limitations, frequent breaks, and established routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet seriously. I’d love to build consistent, long-term relationships with pet parents and become someone you can trust to care for your animals again and again. Whether your pet needs an active companion, a calm presence, or simply someone who will stick to their routine and give them plenty of love, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My schedule is able to be super flexible on a weekly basis so I’m able to work with your needs! Please let me know exactly what you’re looking for and I can try to accommodate! I have a secure, ground-floor one-bedroom unit with a fully fenced patio that connects directly to the living space, giving pets the freedom to move between indoors and outside while still having a safe, contained area to relax. I’m also located near Beacons Beach, so for dogs who enjoy getting out and about, I’d love to take them for a run, walk, or swim in the ocean. I also have access to a larger home that I can utilize depending on the needs and comfort level of each pet. I’m happy to tailor the environment and routine to what works best for your dog or cat, whether they prefer a little more space and activity or a quiet, comfortable place to settle in. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.

About: Hi there! As a mom, dog owner, and experienced caregiver, I am patient, compassionate, and attentive, along with having hands on experience training dogs for friends and family. I know how important it is to have a loving home for our four-legged babies while away. I offer dog boarding at my home in Encinitas up to 2 weeks. I have a regular schedule with my dog at home and love bringing other dogs along for our day! As a stay-at-home mom I’m home throughout the day, providing constant companionship, plenty of playtime, daily dog park visits, afternoon walks, and evening strolls! I provide a loving, supervised environment with plenty of indoor space, a spacious backyard, comfortable sleeping areas, and personalized care tailored to each dog’s needs!

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs taught me early how to care for pets with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for my friends whenever they go out of town, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to match their energy and routines. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or more laid-back and shy, I’ve got them covered! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to be reliable and consistent, so you can count on me to stick to your pet’s routine. I’m also happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines and walk preferences to any special needs or behaviors. I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended longer than agreed. I stay attentive during walks and in the home to keep your pet safe at all times. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: What sets me apart is how much care and attention I give to each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn their age, personality, and daily routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I have experience with puppies and enjoy helping reinforce basic training like house routines, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and truly love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾 I usually wake up around 5am to take the dogs out for their morning walks and that lasts about 30-60 minutes. Since I work from home most days, I sometimes take them for an afternoon walk if they are feeling very energetic. We have a little play ground we let them go to bring out their zoomies before coming back in. Around 4-5pm, we always go to the park close to our neighborhood to let our furry friends play with each other and socialize! In the days it rainy, we usually take a longer walk around the neighborhood. I care for pets by prioritizing their safety, routine, and overall well-being, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication administration, exercise needs, and any behavioral or medical considerations. I ensure pets have a clean, comfortable environment, fresh water at all times, and appropriate physical and mental stimulation.

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Solana Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Solana Beach on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 9,915 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Solana Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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 sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

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.
