Brenda obviously loves her job and is very good at it. She’s extremely communicative and understanding. She gave my cat his meds and followed his special food instructions, as well as played with him. I would recommend Brenda to anyone!

About: My friends and neighbors count on me to check on and sit their animals, and I regularly walk my own pups with their neighborhood furry friends. I grew up with Rottweilers, and have embraced small dogs in recent years. I'm 6ft and 200lbs, and am comfortable with a variety of sizes of dogs. I currently have total flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help with pet care throughout the day. I'm just getting started on Rover, but I've been a dedicated pet parent for almost a decade and love the way it enriches my life. I'd be happy to extend the same level of care and understanding I give to my own pets to yours. I live with my two pups in a small condo complex, where I have an enclosed back patio and immediate access to a very walkable neighborhood. I am comfortable entering friends' homes and allowing the animals to acclimate at their own pace, and am just as happy taking pets for walks as I am keeping them company in their own homes.

Call was awesome when I needed a Drop-In for my pup on a relatively short notice. She was attentive to his peculiarities, particularly his colder-shoulder to anyone new in the house - which she handled with ease. Trustworthy, kind and reliable, Call is the exact person you’re looking for to take care of your pets. 10/10 will book again. Thanks Call!

About: I've dog sat for friends and family over the years. Helped dogs while sick during their stay with them. Including taking action with going to the vet. I never allow strangers to pet a dog that is not mine to protect not only the stranger but more importantly the dog. Hi I’m Anna, Margaret is my legal name 😃. I work from home so can take time during lunch to walk your dog and after work. Or if you need me to visit and spend time at your home I can do so with might laptop. As well as helping on the weekend if needed. When having friends pets stay at my home I allow them to feel like it is also theirs. I maintain a clean home where the dog will not stumble upon things they should not eat. I do the same while staying at clients homes. Follow all rules the owner has laid out as well as ask questions for clarification when needed.

About: In addition to caring for my own lovely cat and senior pup, I have pet sat for friends and family members regularly for the past 10+ years. I have experience with fur babies with a range of quirks, behaviors, and medical needs, so I am prepared for anything that comes my way. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for critters, especially during the upcoming summer break! I am very careful and safety-conscious, so you can be sure I will leave your home secure and comfortable for your pets when I visit.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and helping take care of pets for friends and family. My parents have a dog named Sunny who I’ve helped care for, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and enjoy walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets attention and care based on their individual needs. I treat every pet like family and always make sure to follow routines and instructions carefully. “I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the week for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I enjoy staying active and love spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.” currently only offer dog walking and drop-in visits, not overnight pet sitting or in-home boarding. During walks and visits, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for while following any instructions or routines from the owner. I’ve also helped care for my family dog, Sunny, whenever I visit my hometown, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and giving dogs positive attention and exercise.

About: Hi, I'm Ana! I'm originally from Peru and a proud pet parent to a 8-year-old rescue pup and a sweet 11-year-old cat. I've cared for animals most of my life and deeply understand the love (and quirks!) that come with each one. Whether it's belly rubs, leash training, or just keeping your fur baby company, I treat them with the same patience and love I give my own. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love taking walks throughout the day. So your dog’s stroll is not just a chore, it's something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available for morning, mid-day, and evening drop-ins and walks, and I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-ins and walks, I always follow your instructions carefully and double-check that doors and gates are secure before leaving. I won’t bring other pets along, and I never rush walks, each visit is tailored to your pet’s pace and needs. You’ll also get plenty of updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands.

About: Growing up with all sorts of animals since I was a little one, I’ve always understood the imense responsibility that comes with owning pets. Having a few pets myself independently now, I also know how important it is to have a trusted and honest person to look after while you’re away from home! That said, aside from growing up with and caring for my own pets, I have also worked in the veterinary field a few years ago. Thus making me experienced with administering medications if needed, as well as having worked with pets in need of special care and attention. From high energy, to seniors! My availability is fairly flexible, within reason and I am always quick to get back to you asap. Though I can’t take any pets in for boarding due to my landlords policy, I am happy to house sit and send plenty of photos of your pets to check in with you if that’s something you would like. Feel free to ask my any other questions that I may not have answered. And I look forward to hearing from you!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old and have always loved being around animals. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and giving pets the attention they need. I treat every pet like my owm and truly enjoy spending time with them. Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule because I’m currently on summer break and have a very open availability. I do work a part-time job, but I still have plenty of free time throughout the week to give pets lots of attention, walks, playtime, and care. In the fall, I’ll be taking online college classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to continue being available for pet sitting and drop-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I love making part of my routine. 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, and any special instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to pets at all times and make sure they are in a clean, calm, and safe environment. I also make it a priority to give pets lots of love, patience, and attention so they feel relaxed while their owners are away. I respect clients’ homes, keep everything tidy, and communicate regularly with updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: Hi there! I’m Jill and I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, animals truly are my passion! From walking neighbors dogs as a kid to caring for my own senior cat (now 15 years old 🥹) and my energetic younger kitty, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I live in a multi-pet household with my two cats and my partners small dog, so I’m comfortable navigating different animal dynamics and energy levels. Whether your pet needs an active, playful visit or calm, gentle companionship, I’ll meet them exactly where they are. I’m experienced with senior pets and anxious animals. I’ve handled various medical situations with my own cats, so medication administration and special care routines don’t phase me. I’m detail orientated and will follow your instructions carefully. Cats have my heart, but I love dogs too! I’m most comfortable with small to medium sized pups and available for daytime dog walking and drop in visits. Your pets will receive the same, love, attention and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I have a fairly flexible daily schedule and am available throughout the morning and day for dog walks and drop in visits (I have evening availability for drop in visits only). Safety and comfort are my top priority! Since I primarily offer drop in visits and dog walking, I’ll be caring for pets in their homes where they feel most comfortable. When I arrive for visits, I always make sure doors and gates are securely closed and will follow your specific instructions carefully. I will provide updates after each visit to give you peace of mind that your fur babies are happy, safe and cared for. Living in a multi pet household I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I treat every pet with the same care and attention as my own.

About: I bring a calm, dependable approach to pet care. I’m an EMT with training in K9, CPR, and basic first aid, and I’m especially patient with both puppies and senior dogs. I also have a mini Bernedoodle of my own, so I understand the level of care, attention, and love every dog deserves. I work nights, so I’m available during the day, preferably morning or walks, hikes, runs check ins, and quality time. I stay active with hiking and running, Transparency is very important to me. If I’m unsure about something, I prefer to ask for clarification rather than make assumptions. Animals are our best friends, and I believe in kindness, patience, and clear communication. I also take pride in having integrity when it comes to following directions exactly as given to ensure each pet receives the best possible care.

About: Hi! I’m Kate 😊 I’m a gentle and caring animal lover with about 6 years of pet care experience. I currently care for a cat and previously had a British Shorthair, so I’m familiar with different cat personalities and routines. I also have past experience caring for dogs, though I no longer have one due to moving and space limitations. I only take one pet at a time, follow each cat’s routine closely, and send regular photo updates. I’m home most of the time, so your pet will get plenty of attention. While I’m newer to Rover, I’m responsible, communicative, and truly enjoy caring for pets 🐾 I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and supervision. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will always be cared for in a calm, consistent routine. I provide a clean, quiet, and safe home environment. I only take one pet at a time, so your pet will never be around unfamiliar animals. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep doors and windows secure, and pay close attention to your pet’s comfort and safety at all times. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.

About: I grew up in a small town in Washington with many dogs, cats and horses. Animals were just as much a part of the family as we were. While I have two cats, I miss having the company of dogs so I love to Rover!! I am comfortable with all breeds, personalities, health issues, etc! I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time to be flexible and take care of your pet! I’m also new to the San Diego area so I love a reason to check out a new part with your dog! I do have two cats, so please let me know if you don’t know if your dog is good with cats and we can schedule a meet and greet! Because I work from home I’m able to accommodate just about everything. I have two cats who like dogs, especially old dogs! I have a very tidy clean house and your dog will be treated like family with me.

Jazmin has been great to our 🍊s. Every visit has an update about our cats and what has been done during the visit. The pictures included gave us peace of mind as well that the cats are doing well. Most importantly, I highly recommend Jazmin because not only did she took great care of our cats, she had shown care for our home as well. Highly highly recommend and will book in the future!

We hired Alyssa for our two shy kitties pretty last minute for a two week trip out of the country. She did a phenomenal job keeping us updated with Rover Cards and reaching out if she needed anything, so we could really enjoy our trip. Our normally very shy cats warmed up to her really quickly, so it put us even more at ease. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!
