About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
About: Although I have no official skills and training...yet, but I grew up caring for animals. For 18 years I lived on a small farm in Michigan where we raised chickens, rabbits, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. These animals were my beloved pets and would get shown at the county fair every summer. Since moving away I have accumulated three cats of my own. As I continue to figure things out and gain experience I can promise that all pets under my care will be well cared for, loved, and that all owners will receive top notch communication. I have just separated from the Navy and am unable to get another job due to some traveling I have planned over the next couple months. I am free all day pretty much any day! I do not offer sitting or boarding in my home due to my cats not appreciating outsiders, but I am more than happy to go to your house and do whatever is needed!
“Elizabeth was a rock star with my dog. She jumped in on short notice and was kind, responsible, and punctual. She took and sent photos through the app each time showing the walk and feeding after. She clearly had experience handling dogs coming in and I will gladly rely on her again in the future.”

“Matheo is very prompt, reliable and trustworthy. He always updated me when I’m out of town which is always comforting. My dog likes him. Overall, I highly recommend Matheo. His service is excellent. I will definitely get him again next time…”

About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.
“This was my first time to use Rover and from the very beginning I was so happy with Priscilla and Mike. Fiona took to Mike right away and seemed to want to be his bestie! I've now found my dog sitter for any future trips or needs. Both are such nice people and help rescue dogs in need. I wish them success and will definitely use them again.”

About: Hi there! My name is Audrey Wall. I’m excited to use my passion and experience with animals for your pets. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I’ve had the best experience of sitting a variety of dogs back in 2021. I had to pause my sitter duties because of my active duty status, but now that I’m retiring, I’d love the opportunity to watch your pets. While my services are limited to daily walking and drop-in visits, the love and care I’ll provide are limitless! I understand what it can feel like to be worried about your pet being home alone while you’re away, so please allow me to put your mind at ease! My schedule is flexible, so I will always try to move my daily tasks to fit your needs! All I ask is for clear and frequent communication. I live in a single-family residence with a large grass backyard. I have a 90 lb, 8 year old rescue who is not friendly with other animals, so unfortunately, I cannot do in-sitter home boarding.
About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve lived with up to 5 dogs at a time. Now, I am the proud momma of two cats, Zoe and Emma. You can describe me as the millennial whose sole purpose is to provide a full and fun life for my fur babies. At this time, I am a full time student and on my off days I hope to care for and go on walks with your fur babies. I plan my responsibilities ahead of time, so my calendar will be updated regularly to give you the most updated availability. I am always aware and present during my time with pets. I will prioritize their safety and well-being. I would love to have meet and greets where you tell me all about your specific concerns and we can talk about how I can help ease those concerns!

About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, so I've always been surrounded by animals and love being around them. I enjoy spending time with pets, whether that means taking them on walks, playing with them, or just giving them company while you're away. I've cared for both medium-sized and small dogs, and I know every pet has their own personality. My goal is always to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for, just like they would at home. I'm currently on summer break, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk your dog. I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine and make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I really enjoy being outside and spending time with animals, so dog walking is something I genuinely look forward to. I know every pet has their own routine, so I always make it a priority to follow the owner's instructions and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether I'm picking up your dog for a walk or bringing them back, I'll always keep their safety in mind by making sure they're securely leashed and paying attention to the surroundings. I know it's a huge responsibility leaving your dog with another but I'll always treat them with care, respect, and the attention they deserve.

About: Life long dog owner. Over forty years of experience with large active breeds. From rescue to training giving fur babies an active fun day. I currently have three well behaved German Shepherds that go on long daily walks on a leash or running free at dog beaches and hikes out in the open fields in Otay lakes. I have a large kennel and a back yard with plenty of room for a comfortable stay. I’m currently retired and have plenty of time to have fun with my dogs getting in different adventures daily. We enjoy long hikes to lakes or ponds and frequently go swimming at OB dog beach and fiesta island. Now that I’m retired I would like to dedicate myself to dog training. I have a fenced yard half the yard is a kennel but the kennel stays open for full yard to roam. My pups are usually following me around the house all day so I try to keep them active with training and hikes or long walks. For smaller indoor dogs I will provide a comfortable environment indoors with their own separate kennel to sleep in at night making sure they are pampered and spoiled. My dogs are very gentle and friendly and socialized around different size dogs their whole lives. They also have their own area that they like and stay in that can be secured for added safety.
About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.

About: Like most people I have owned and loved dogs and had pets growing up my whole life. Always treating them with care and respect to earn their trust as well as any other animals. I have open scheduling all day/week depending on what I am doing and can always make time to give care or to help a pet or pet owner who needs it. Just let me know and I will try to help and make time! I treat the pet, the owner, and the home with care and respect as if it was part of my life and family. Providing the appropriate service and care needed to help out.
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter for some friends and clients over the years, and I love dogs! But don’t have one of my own so I have decided to go pro! Hehe. I love walking and hiking if your dog needs exercise, plus I just enjoy giving snuggles and scratches. Happy to reinforce any training you’re doing with your pups- or just come over and play with them. I’m available for dog walks every day before 11:30 and cat/dog/etc sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed, am/pm since I am self employed. Im a massage therapist & work in mission valley, so it’s very central and I can block time as needed to go visit and care for your pets or walk your dogs. My 17 year old Bengalish-tabby is in/out cat- and I have a big fenced in yard. I feed my animals twice a day and give lots of verbal affirmation and physical affection, if they like cuddles we’re gonna be friends.
About: Hello there! I understand you may need someone to look over your fur-baby?! Well, here’s why I’d be a perfect fit! I have been taking care/looking over dogs for 10+ years! I have had two cocker spaniels, a golden retriever/chowchow mix, a cattle dog/Rottweiler mix, as well as a Belgium Malinois. I have also dog-sat for numerous friends and family throughout the years. Anything and everything from letting them go out for a potty break, getting them some grubs, getting some play time, going for a stroll, or simply having human interaction while their favorite human is out. I will always make sure they have the best possible care as if they were my fur-baby. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to send me a message! Hope to meet your pup soon! I am currently working part time but am extremely flexible with my schedule. If things need to be moved around feel free to send me a detailed message. I’m not able to promise that things can always be switched around, but I will try my best to accommodate. I will always make sure your pet is being watched whether inside or out so you can rest assured they will be in the safest hands possible.
“Megan is wonderful! Takes my dog Hera for long walks every time and spends time with her. Megan also takes pictures of my sweet girl and send them to me every time she walks her! Will definitely continue to book with her!!”

About: Dogs are my spirit animals, I know how to train and show them a few snazzy tricks. The love I have for animals makes my heart melt and I will take care of your babies as if they were my own. I have an open schedule at the moment. I can help out whenever I am needed. My availability is wide open and ready to go. I care for pets with a lot of patience, love and affection. I know how to perform CPR on pets which has helped me immensely.
About: I’ve always had a passion for training my dogs, since I started reading books about the subject I have learned how to understand their behaviors and needs, create a bond with them and grow a loving relationship with them while being able to teach and guide them how you want. I’m usually available throughout the week, only on friday afternoons I leave home to take care of my kids for the weekend and then back available on mondays I like to learn and stick to their usual habits to keep them stress free. I only take care on clients homes since my aunt runs a day care at home

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southwest
Great experience with our Rover dog walker, Isabella! She took excellent care of both of my dogs, was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. My dogs came back happy and well exercised. I really appreciated the updates and photos during the walks. Highly recommend!

Tyler is the best! He’s been helping me with my puppy, and I truly can’t thank him enough. He’s incredibly patient, caring, and attentive, and it’s clear he genuinely loves what he does. My pup is always happy after their walks, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog walker!

As a 1st time user of this app and service to walk my 95lb XL pit I was a bit nervous. I requested a last minute booking with James an hour before the time I selected and he accepted right away! James is very friendly with a calm energy and has years of experience with many different large breeds. James showed up on time and well prepared with items I hadnt thought of and it was much appreciated. James did a fantastic job walking my XL pit sending regular updates from start to finish. I highly recommend giving James a try if your in need of a dog walker. His fees are reasonable so I was able to afford an hour booking. I will be using James again in the near future exclusively for any sessions booked.

I couldn’t be happier with Matheo. He is reliable, caring, and truly treats kai like his own. I feel at ease knowing my pup is in loving and safe hands. My dog comes back happy, exercised, and well cared for every time. Communication is great, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby!

Jayden was amazing with our boy! She was really great to follow our dog’s routine and kept him very happy and healthy. Jayden was always punctual, attentive, and overall very reliable! She also sent multiple daily updates with pictures and videos, and was super sweet with any q’s we had. Would def recommend her and book her again, our boy had the best time. Thank you so much!

Kody was very responsive and I had great communication with him. He arrived before the scheduled time and was ready to get the dogs out on their walk. This was the first time my dogs went on a walk with a complete stranger. Of course they were skeptical but they got comfortable with him quickly. I’m thankful for his time, patience and willingness to spend with my babies. He also sent a picture of them. Which I appreciate. I will definitely book him in the future just knowing my fur babies trust him.
