About: I have lived with furry friends my whole life, lending me years of firsthand experiences dealing with dog and cat ownership from little babies to senior animals and I am familiar with the special care needs that come with different age groups. In addition to dog and cat sitting for family I have several years of experience on Rover providing walking and house sitting care. Every animal has such a vibrant and unique personality and I can't wait to meet yours!

About: I have been working at a pet store for 2 years and a pet hotel for 1. Many friends and family ask me to watch their pets and reptiles too. I am currently unemployed so i will have a lot of free time until August. I don’t have many activities other than some soccer and softball to stay active. But help keep my stamina up for long walks. I am very respectful of people’s personal belongings. I believe in security and open communication between pet parents. I am here to serve your pet and your pet deserves my full attention in my care.
“Celine has been so great and especially when having to book last minute she seems to always be able to fit us in. My dog is bigger and she does great with him. She’s super reliable and would 100% recommend her.”

“Sara is truly a gift to our family. She has been so patient, kind and loving to our new puppy. Sara is prompt, responsible and always goes out of her way to ensure our Otis is well taken care of and happy. She is the best and highly recommend her to all.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 6 years and treat every pet like family. I’m patient, dependable, and experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and different personalities and energy levels. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication routines, or extra attention for anxious pets, I always focus on giving each dog personalized care and lots of affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time throughout the day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and care. I’m organized, reliable, and flexible with my schedule, which helps me make sure every pet gets the time, patience, and care they deserve. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and always pay close attention to pets to make sure they’re happy and safe. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I've taken care of family dogs and I've volunteered at the rescue shelter "A way home for dogs" in San Diego. The volunteering mostly involves watching and restraining dogs as we got them acclimated to crowds of people. Currently free for the summer, so I'll have plenty of time to care for pets. I have no significant other commitments throughout the week. No children or other pets in my apartment. I'll dog walk and play with them. I live in a apartment complex with a friendly pet policy.
About: I am a dog lover with 10+ years experience caring for dogs of all kinds! I’m always the first to volunteer for friends and family and treat every dog like they’re my own. As someone who’s had dogs, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and know they’re getting the best care. I work fully remote so I have a very flexible care schedule! I am able to step out during the day for walks, drop-ins, and will be home with your pet all day if I’m sitting. I have a small yard for easy bathroom breaks and live in a safe, residential neighborhood. I’m also happy to go where your pet is most comfortable. My first priority is knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and safe.

About: My love for animals started early. I raised two cats from kittens and had an adorable mini poodle-terrier mix for two years. I regularly walk and care for my partner’s two large dogs and two cats, and I’ve done overnight stays for a friend’s puppy. Most recently I’ve been attending puppy yoga, because honestly any excuse to be around animals is a good one! I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, with flexible morning and afternoon slots. I keep a consistent schedule so pets get reliable, timely care every visit. Since I come to you, my focus is making your pet feel safe and comfortable in their own home, where they’re happiest. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routes, or specific instructions. I treat every home with respect and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’ve intentionally kept my schedule flexible to prioritize bookings. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I plan my day around each pet’s needs, this includes feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins. I’m reliable with routines and make sure pets receive consistent, attentive care. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or cleanup, playtime, and any medications if needed. I provide lots of attention, monitor behavior and health, and keep the space clean and safe. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, from dogs of my own to caring for friends and family pets over the years! I am new to the Rover community, however I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When it comes to taking care of, playing with, and walking your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have a family dog who is a Shih Tzu mix - always so full of energy and chaos! I am currently working part time elsewhere but I’m available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I’m currently working part time as a personal assistant which means that my schedule is pretty flexible! My fridays-mondays are typically free and I can absolutely carve out time in the evenings for your needs! I am very comfortable with safe guarding pets. I have had to handle fairly large dogs in the past and know how to gently avoid trouble if needed, as well as maintaining a safe and friendly environment.
About: I enjoy helping out dogs in my neighborhood, whether it's just a walk or an over night stay! I have had great experiences with all different kinds of dog!

I respect how all dogs are trained and am happy to meet with you all before a scheduling to ensure the routine is set! I like to make sure I understand the routine for the pup!

“Thank you so much Michelle for taking Leia for a walk and sending me such a detailed recap with photos! It definitely takes a big load off my shoulders knowing my old girl is cared for when I need to be out of the house for a while :) I’d feel very comfortable having you come back in the future for more walks!”

About: Growing up with my husky made me a dog lover from a young age. I feel like I understand and love dogs so much more! I’ve watched many of my friends and family’s dogs while they’re on vacation, so I have experience with many different breeds. I will make sure your fur baby is loved, fed and well exercised.

I do hope to provide a service in the near future! I can't wait to meet your fur baby!
About: I’ve basically grown up caring for animals — I started bottle‑feeding foster puppies and kittens when I was about six, so I have roughly 15 years of hands‑on experience. I currently have five pets of my own and have been pet- and house‑sitting for neighbors and family friends for 5+ years. I’m comfortable with very young animals (bottle feeding, socialization, scheduled feedings), puppies, and senior pets. I’m reliable, attentive to each pet’s routine, and treat every animal as if they were my own — whether that means long energetic walks, supervised play, or quiet care for a recovering or older pet. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I am available for check ins, walks and over nights/ house sitting as needed! I adapt to each pet’s routine and home rules so they stay comfortable and stress‑free. In the pet’s home: - Follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, play, and rest exactly. - Use provided leashes, harnesses, crates, and medications; administer meds and record times. - Keep pets on lead when going outside, pick up waste, and clean food/water bowls after meals. - Provide enrichment: play, short training/reinforcement sessions, and supervised free time. - Maintain safety: secure doors/gates, remove hazards, and monitor interactions with people/other animals. - Send regular photo/text updates and note any changes in appetite, behavior, or health. - Lock up and leave the home as found; water plants/mail as requested.
“Melissa and her partner were super reliable and sweet with our large goldendoodle. We could tell our dog loved her walks from all of the pictures Melissa sent us. Will book again!”

About: While I’ve only had pets of my own for the past two years, I've always loved animals. I didn’t grow up with pets, but I was always the one playing with my friends’ and roommates’ dogs and cats. Two years, I finally felt ready to adopt. Now I’m a proud dog and cat mom! I totally get how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m super flexible with my schedule and will always put their needs (and your peace of mind!) first. I go into my local office four days a week (just a quick 5-minute drive). I’m home by noon, which means I still have plenty of time to take my dog Lucy to our neighborhood park for a good sniff session. My job is flexible, and I’m able to work from home when needed, so I can easily adjust my schedule to care for your pets too. I have two cats and one dog at home, for everyone's safety I would not bring your pets to my home as to make sure they're getting my undivided attention when I am with them. Safety is always first and I will make sure to follow your intrustictions to ensure you feel comfortable with your pets.

About: I offer a unique blend of scientific precision and deep compassion for your pets. For two years, I fostered shy and anxious dogs for the Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC). Getting accepted into their program required passing a rigorous vetting process, including interviews, home visits, and specialized training. Through HWAC, I gained extensive experience caring for rescues with complex medical and behavioral needs, including parasites, severe dental issues, and anxiety. I also provided essential behavior and obedience training to help these dogs thrive. Before fostering dogs, I was the proud owner of a diabetic cat for five years. I am completely comfortable with advanced medical care, including tracking blood glucose with a glucometer, administering subcutaneous insulin injections twice daily, and giving oral medications. My background as a scientist allows me to communicate clearly and effectively with veterinarians and clinic staff, ensuring your pet's medical instructions are followed perfectly. Because I currently have no pets of my own and am taking a hiatus from work, I have total availability. I look forward to devoting 100% of my time, skills, and love to your companion here in the San Diego area! 24/7 Flexible Availability (Evenings & Weekends Included) Because I am currently on a professional hiatus, your pet becomes my primary focus. I have complete schedule flexibility to accommodate your exact routine, including early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and holidays. Unlike sitters juggling a traditional 9-to-5, I am available for mid-day medical checks, precise feeding times, and extended companionship. Whether you need standard drop-ins or a dedicated presence to ease an anxious pet's separation anxiety, my open schedule allows me to be there whenever you or your pet need me most. Specialized In-Home Care for Your Pet's Comfort I provide premium, attentive care exclusively inside your pet's own home, where they already feel safest and most comfortable. Because I live in a yard-free condominium, I choose not to offer boarding. Instead, I bring my extensive medical and behavioral experience directly to your doorstep. This setup ensures your pet’s routine remains completely uninterrupted, eliminating the stress of a new environment. Whether your cat requires precise, timely insulin injections or your dog needs a patient, structured potty schedule, I adapt entirely to your home's setup. Your pet gets 100% of my focus in the environment they love best, giving you total peace of mind while you are away.
Sorrento Valley dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sara was the BEST pet sitter we’ve ever had. She was super flexible with timing and came to meet with our dog Cannoli beforehand. She provided detailed updates and lots of silly pictures of our 10 month old puppy. I really appreciated how patient she was with our puppy who is still learning to listen and always takes a bunch of breaks while on walks!

Thank you so much Michelle for taking Leia for a walk and sending me such a detailed recap with photos! It definitely takes a big load off my shoulders knowing my old girl is cared for when I need to be out of the house for a while :) I’d feel very comfortable having you come back in the future for more walks!

Jennifer is hands down the best! She’s punctual, super flexible, and treats our dogs like her own. Our Bulldog and American Bully get so excited every time she comes by. It’s such a relief knowing they’re being cared for by someone so kind and dependable. I am a repeat customer for a reason!

I truly can’t say enough good things about Luciana. She consistently goes above and beyond, especially with the amazing photos and videos she sends of my fur baby while I’m at work—it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s also an excellent communicator, which makes such a difference. I always feel confident that my baby is safe and well cared for with her. From the very first meeting, my dog jumped right into her arms and gave her nonstop kisses—which honestly tells you everything you need to know ❤️

Gabi is absolutely wonderful caring for our pets. She walks our dog, Baby J, and also keeps an eye on our two cats, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they are in her care. Baby J clearly adores her, and it’s obvious that Gabi genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. She is dependable, communicative, and attentive to the little details that matter. It’s such a relief to have someone we trust who takes such excellent care of our pets. I highly recommend Gabi to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter or dog walker.
