“Christine is a great sitter for my cat. She sends so many pictures for us to view while we are away and responds very quickly with any questions. I am already booking again.”


“Monica is great with cats! She was very thorough with providing details about each visit and she also shared several very cute photos. I will absolutely be re-booking with Monica in the future 😊.”


“Francine is the best, did a great job taking care of my pup! She takes wonderful pictures and went above and beyond to make sure my dog had the best experience :) Looking forward to booking her again!”


“Sydney is the greatest. Because of work, I have to travel for long periods of time, which means leaving my cat at home alone. I always worry about him and feel guilty, but Sydney truly gives me peace of mind knowing that she will take care of him in my absence. She sends great notes of each visit and plenty of photos. She is always on-time and I always come home to my house exactly as I left it! Highly recommend Sydney!”


“Shannon is wonderful and we will choose her again for our family pets! She checked in daily with thorough notes and sweet photos and was even comfortable taking care of a very old dog and our (probably) feral new cat. I will recommend her to any friends as well!”


About: I grew up with big dogs (Newfoundlands) my whole entire life and adore all types of dogs. All animals have different personalities and quirks that I do not mind adjusting to. I am a confident dog walker with a keen sense of safety in different environments. I will provide your pet with love and safety just as I treat my own. I am working part-time in San Diego and looking forward to taking a few jobs here and there to care for animals that need it, whether it be a walk to get some fresh air or some cuddles on the couch. I can easily adapt to special rules/boundaries when taking care of your pet in your home. If your pet will be visiting me, I have two cats that I can keep in the main bedroom for a short period of time with no risk of them getting out. At my home, your dog is free to roam and share my company in our cozy living room. If your dog is potty trained, I can take them out front to the grass that’s only two steps away for a quick potty break or walk them around the community.

“Jessica checked in on my cat while I was gone and followed my instructions perfectly. I really appreciated her sending some pictures and updates too!”


“Run don’t walk to book her! She’s an excellent pet sitter, she really cares about my animals and they are always happy as can be when I return home after a day where she stopped by! You’d be lucky to have her take care of your furry fam.”


About: I’m a natural with animals and provide attentive and active walks for your dog. I am gentle and patient yet firm and assertive in my doggy communications. I will always be alert and intune to the behaviors, needs and environmental stimuli of your dog during our walk. Safety, fun, and exercise are my main priorities! I have two amazing fur babies of my own who came into my life as rescues and have enriched my life with playfulness and love. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds and would love the opportunity to get to know your doggy better and learn their preferences. I have learned through my own experiences with my dogs and their dog walker that a tired dog is a happy dog. So I look forward to finding the right walk routine for you and your dog. I’m a stay at home mom with kids in school full time so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for walks, dog boarding or drop in visits I have a 2 bedroom home in North Park that is conveniently located next to a dog park, playground and trails near Balboa Park. Crate available if needed.

About: I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby home alone. One of the biggest concerns pet owners have is trust: Will my sitter be careful? Will my pet be safe and loved? That’s exactly what I offer—peace of mind. I’m dependable, no-nonsense, and I’ll treat your pet like family. I care for animals of all kinds, from yappers to deep howlers, shy cats to cuddle monsters, and even our little loves like guinea pigs and fish. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a game of fetch, or just quiet companionship, I’m there. And when it comes to feline royalty, I respect boundaries and give love on their terms. Services include: * Dog walking & playtime * Cat care & companionship * Feeding, medication, litter & cleanup * Daily check-ins or overnight stays * Lots of love, attention, and belly rubs Hi, I’m Annie! I’m a 35-year-old union plumber by trade and a lifelong animal lover with a heart full of care and compassion. I work from 6am to 2:30pm M-F I’m available to drop in anytime after 3pm during the week. Weekends are open. I don’t drink or smoke, and I take pet care seriously—your furry (or scaly, feathered, or hooved) family members will be treated like my own! I currently care for two beloved chihuahuas, including one senior pup who is deaf and requires daily medication, so I’m very experienced with elder pets and special needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from fish to steers and just about everything in between. Whether it’s walks, feeding, medication, playtime, or just good company, I offer dependable and loving care while you’re away.

“Ivy was extremely communicative and caring when taking care of our two cats. She went above and beyond, taking time to figure out their favorite treat flavors, brushing them so well that their coats got way softer, and taking lots of cute pics and sending them our way while we were gone. We’ll definitely be working with her again!”


“Matt is great! We appreciate his patience and calm demeanor. Our dogs really like him and we trust that he treats them the same way we do! We will continue to book with Matt.”


“Maxine was so sweet with my older dog Luna. She sent updates and pictures. Really appreciated the care she gave her. Definitely recommend and will use her again. It was my first time using Rover service and happy I had such a great experience.”


About: Experienced, reliable, and loving pet care for all breeds and ages—walks, playtime, meds, walks and more. Compassionate, attentive, and always putting your pet’s safety first. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of time to love and care for your furry family members. I can spend as much or as little time with them needed. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and administering any medications as instructed. I also provide regular updates with photos and notes, so you feel connected while you’re away. I respect your home—cleaning up after pets, securing doors, and maintaining a calm, safe environment at all times.

“Jose did an amazing job with my two energetic pups. I’m super happy that we booked him and we will definitely book him again if we ever need to!!”


About: Every here and there I walk my friends’ dogs, take them to potty and play with them whenever is needed. Regularly small to mid-size dogs. I pet them, and provide them attention and love. I currently have a part-time job, working 3 days a week starting my shifts at 5pm. My mornings and afternoons are normally open to provide pet sitting! Mondays are normally open all day. My home is not pet-friendly due to management rules but I have been to my friends’ homes which have a few fences to block access to certain areas of the house.

About: I have owned 5 dogs in my lifetime and have trained a puppy on my own. I've been dog sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I only recently thought about trying out this site in order to make some extra cash to supplement the insane cost of living!! I currently care for a friend's senior dog who works as a teacher whenever she needs a sitter and would love to provide care for your fur baby. I work remotely as a video editor and I create my own hours so I am free to work around yours! I would just need a heads up for any last minute changes. I typically take my dogs out every four hours, or every 2 hours for puppies. The senior dog I care for isn't on a schedule, but she'll notify my when she needs to go out. I understand that every dog is different, so I'm open to tailor all care to your dog. I am free to get on your dog's schedule: if they need longer walks, if they need a specific diet, if they are crate trained, etc.

“Paige was great watching our two dogs while we were away. She was on time and gave us nice updates throughout the visit. We will definitely book her again in the future. Thanks Paige!”


About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—caring for them isn’t new to me, it’s second nature. I’ve spent years understanding dog behavior simply by living alongside them: from high-energy pups to slow-moving seniors. While I haven’t done formal training, I’m confident reading their body language, respecting their boundaries, and creating a calm, comfortable experience on every walk or visit. I know what it takes to earn a dog’s trust. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, a slow stroll, or just some company while you’re away, I show up with patience, reliability, and genuine care. I work full-time during standard business hours, so I’m typically available for early morning, evening, and weekend walks or drop-ins. I make the most of my availability by staying reliable and communicative. I’ll always show up when I say I will, and your pet’s routine will stay consistent. If your dog thrives on structure and calm energy, we’ll be a great match. Whether your pet is with me or in their own home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. At your home, I maintain their usual routine: feeding, walking, playtime, and rest-so they feel secure and relaxed in familiar surroundings. When caring for pets at my home, I provide a calm, clean environment where they can feel at ease, with plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality, always watching for signs of stress or discomfort and adjusting my care accordingly. Clear communication with you is important to me, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing.

About: I have worked with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I love seniors, puppies, and all ages! I have experience with senior dogs who need that extra special care. I have been dog/cat sitting for my friends and family for over 15 years and I am very excited to meet more furry friends to add to my life. I am excited to meet you and your beloved pet! I currently work from home full time and am able to accommodate your pets needs. I can take them on potty breaks as needed and on a walk before , mid day and after work. I am open to your pets needs and energy level. I can accommodate your needs for your dog. If you want them crated, I can do that. I can do special diets and rigid feeding times. You tell me what you want and we can make it happen.

Annie A.
“If you need a pet sitter who is reliable, responsible and caring, you won't find a better person than Annie. Annie has cared for our 2 elderly Corgis for their entire lives when we travel, or are otherwise unable to be at home to meet their needs. One is on a special diet, and both take medication. I trust her 100% to feed and medicate them properly. She is also very alert to changes in their health status. Our dogs love her, and get excited when we say her name. We never worry when they are in her care. Annie is a dog lover herself, and she won't let you or your pets down.”

“Shalyn is such a kind and caring person and treats animals and pets like they're her own. Whenever I've needed someone to sit and watch my cat back home she's always willing to take on that role and does it with ease. Truly I can trust that my babies or anyone else's are in good hands when under the care of her, and again she treats them with the utmost love and care. I highly recommend her to watch any of your pets and you can always rely on her!”

Maria R.
“Mag is a close friend of mine and I trust her with my reactive, high energy 60lb lab/husky mix! Mag is like an auntie to my pup now and has taken him to the dog park many times for me when I was injured. She is strong, friendly, playful, and I'm pretty sure she can do anything she sets her mind to. Don't hesitate to hire Mag, she will fall in love with your dog and treat them as her own.”


Nancy R.
“I would like to take a moment to recommend Nancy for any of your pet care needs. She has watched my dog on numerous occasions, sometimes for just a day and other times for more than a week and has always provided great care. My dog has separation anxiety and Nancy is always attentive to her. She also requires medication and Nancy has ensured that none of her doses were missed. You will be highly satisfied with the care she provides when you enlist her help.”

Kathryn P.
“I was nervous about leaving my dog for a 2 week trip I had planned, but Kathryn quickly put my mind at ease. She suggested a meet n greet with me and my pup “Bobbie Joe.” The meet n greet went great. Kathryn’s house is so tidy and she has a lovely back patio that I knew Bobbie Joe would enjoy. I got regular updates and pictures which I really appreciated. I’m definitely going to be booking with Kathryn for my next trip!”
