“Vanessa is great with my 9month old dog and my dog adores her. I have never seen my dog warm up to someone so quickly. I can tell that she genuinely has a huge heart for dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”


About: I grew up in a house where we always had pets. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals starting with my own 2 pups I have helped raise since I was 10! One of which lived to be 15 years old. I have experience caring for senior cats, large breed dogs, puppies, a bunny, and even some chickens! Whether it’s going for a walk or just keeping your pet company, I treat any pet like family. Big or small, young or senior. I hope you can consider helping me get started on the Rover app! I’m currently volunteering in a research lab as I prepare for graduate school, which gives me a flexible weekly schedule. This allows me to dedicate focused, reliable care to the pets I work with. I’m happy to adjust my availability week to week to best support you and your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and calm, you know them best! I am committed to building trust through clear communication and dependable care.

About: Hi! I'm Mitzi I have a true passion for caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. My top priority is creating a comfortable, secure, and safe environment for your furrr baby while you're away. I'm a naturally patient person and always take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs. Whether that means going on runs or hikes with high energy pups, or taking slow, gentle walks with senior companions. Your pet’s well being, comfort, and happiness are always my focus! I work part time and am available on weekdays during mornings and mid days. However, some evenings can be arranged if discussed in advanced :) I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, stick to the pet’s routine, give plenty of love and attention, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise, play, and rest.


“Irania is respectful, sweet, and responsible. She was extremely punctual and always kept me up to date with exactly what was going on. My dog is 90lbs of playful energy, but that didn't phase Irania. They bonded instantly. I couldn't have asked for a more reliable sitter/walker. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking looking for pet care they can count on.”

About: As a registered nurse I cannot commit to being a doggy parent yet, but I sure do love helping other families and their pets. While having strong integrity, I believe my ability to meet animals where they are and respect their quirks makes me an ideal pet sitter. I see that every animal is an individual and would love to adhere to a routine that you set out for them. I am currently taking a short break from nursing and enjoying exploring San Diego. I have open availability until mid-September. Beyond that, I would love to fit pet sitting into my routine and will see if I am able to accomodate that with a new schedule.
