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.
“Analisa, graciously helped me out with 3 of our little pets, in an emergency last minute situation, she came right over -very sweet person and can tell she Loves pets! Thank you tremendously!”

About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.
About: I’ve cared for animals (majority dogs) starting at age 10. Love spending time with animal whether it be out on a walk and house sitting! I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, so looking to make some extra money through dog walking/sitting! I am currently work from home and my job has flexible hours so looking to do some dog walking/sitting to make some extra money! Free most weekdays and in town usually half the weekends of the month. My house does not allow for pets, so I cannot host your furry friend. However, I am very vigilant about keeping a space dog friendly, as my family just got a new puppy a few years back, I have learned and practice many pet safety precautions (exposed wires, open doors, food left out, etc)
“Audrey is the BEST! She is so great with my dogs and I’ve felt so good being away knowing she is caring for them! She is a great communicator and really spends time loving on them.”

“Laura was incredible. She accommodated a last minute request, scheduled a next day meet and greet and was extremely easy to work with. On top of that, the dogs loved her and she sent photos/videos with every visit. The pups love their new North County sitter.”

“I would Definitely use Lyndsey again as a pet sitter. She was so nice and took good care of my cat. I received my daily updates in a timely manner after each visit .”
About: I have several years of experience nannying and dogsitting/walking, and I’ve always grown up with dogs. I currently have a red lab who I love taking on long walks, hikes, and even swimming adventures. Because of this, I’m comfortable with active dogs who need plenty of exercise as well as pups who just want some extra love and attention! I currently work weekdays ~11am-7pm, so I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends. There’s some flexibility in my schedule as well to pop in throughout the day! At my home, pets have plenty of space to play in a large fenced grassy yard. They’ll also have company—my sweet 7-year-old lab, who’s very friendly and loves making new dog friends. Whether it’s fetch, walks, hikes, or just cuddle time, I make sure every pup feels right at home. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll stick to their normal routine so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away!
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: Hello fellow dog lovers! I'm thrilled to welcome your furry family members into my home-away-from-home through Rover. With a rich tapestry of 15 years of dedicated canine care, I offer a top-tier dog-sitting experience that goes beyond the ordinary. 🔹 Why Choose Me? With a genuine passion for dogs and a decade and a half of hands-on experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge to Rover. From high-energy pups to gentle seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds. My goal is to ensure every tail wags with joy and every paw feels at home. 🔹 What to Expect: 🐾 Tailored Care: I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pup loves long walks, cozy cuddles, or playdates with other friendly dogs, I customize my services to meet their individual needs and preferences. 🐾 Safety First: Your dog’s safety is my utmost priority. My home is dog-proofed, ensuring a secure environment. I’m also certified in pet first aid and CPR, providing you with peace of mind. My schedule is currently very flexible as I have a part-time job which means I am not away 8 hours a day at work. This leaves me a lot of time to take care of your beloved animal! Establishing Trust: First and foremost, I focus on building trust with your pets. I take the time to understand their routines, quirks, and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my presence. 2. Customized Care: Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care routines according to their individual needs. Whether it's mealtime, playtime, or cuddle time, I follow your instructions diligently. If they have specific dietary requirements or medication schedules, I adhere to them with precision. 3. Enriching Activities: Mental and physical stimulation is key to a happy pet. I engage your pets in enriching activities, interactive games, and regular walks. Keeping their minds and bodies active ensures they remain content and healthy. 4. Constant Communication: I believe in open communication. Throughout my time with your pets, I keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in good hands. If any concerns arise, I promptly reach out to discuss and resolve them. 5. Home Care: In addition to pet care, I respect your home as if it were my own. I maintain cleanliness, water your plants, take out the trash, and ensure everything is in order when you return.
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.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and absolutely love spending time with them! I grew up with dogs, and my husband’s family has had four dogs over the years, including their beloved dog who recently passed away at 15 years old. Through these experiences, I’ve become very comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand how much dogs mean to their families, and I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, keeping them company, or simply making sure they feel happy and comfortable, I genuinely enjoy it all! I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and love getting outside for walks throughout the day! I’m happy to accommodate different routines and make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them like my own. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will always follow your instructions, whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, or any special care. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know your pup is in good hands!

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.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 5. I grew up with Goldens, German Shephards and Labs mostly. I had a pug of my own as well as a black lab. I have 4 siblings and they all have 1-2 dogs and we all laugh that we treat them like humans ie: sometimes they eat better than us! (wink wink). More recently, I lived in a place that wouldn't allow dogs so I would get my dog fix going on my daily walks especially in Encinitas where they are everywhere. But I thought getting into dog sitting/walking would allow me to be around them even more. They are good for the soul. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. So I can be available for last minute things that may come up and I'm am able to be at the house/do walks often if needed. I walk about 2 hours a day as it is so it would be in even better addition to my routine to have a dog with me! I am unable to have pets in my home at the moment although that is going to change in the next few months. As far as coming to your home, I am very respectful, reliable and will treat your dog like it's my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Solana Beach
Alannah is very nice and very easy to communicate with. She took great care of our cat and went the extra mile to make sure he was happy and healthy! It is always stressful to be away from our furry friends, but Alannah gave detailed updates and we knew he was in great hands. We highly recommend Alannah!

Laura was incredible. She accommodated a last minute request, scheduled a next day meet and greet and was extremely easy to work with. On top of that, the dogs loved her and she sent photos/videos with every visit. The pups love their new North County sitter.

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!! 💕🫶

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 of Pet Sitting in Solana Beach is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 9,993 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 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:
- 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.
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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
