“Belinda watched my cat, Bella, for about 3 weeks and she did fantastic! Bella warmed up to her right away. Belinda was great about sending photos and making sure Bella’s food, water, and litter were taken care of. It made me feel much better knowing that there was such a caring person looking after my girl. I’d be happy to book her again.”
“Tatiana took great care of my fur babies. She made sure my dog and cat were happy and comfortable while my husband and I were away overnight. My cat is senior and requires medication, she had no problem handling that. Bogie (my dog) looked happy and relaxed when I returned home. I would hire her again!”
“Adrianna was BEYOND amazing! she was prompt & communicative. she actually cared about Bella & her well being. she cleaned up unprompted messes made by Bella without making me feel bad. she responded quick to every message. send the best pics. I'd 100% recommend her & will absolutely request her services again!!!”
“Elizabeth is such a light in this world! She is so incredibly kind and thoughtful. She went out of her way during a hard time to make sure everything went as smoothly as it could be. I 100% trust her and would absolutely hire her again if I need to! Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been known as the dog, cat, hamster's sitter with my friends and family. I grew up with dogs my whole life and just loving animals. My friends and family see how much I adore their pets and how they adore me back so makes them feel comfortable with me watching over them if it’s for a day or a week, etc. I love that they trust me with basically their child. IYKYK! I enjoy taking dogs on walks as I know it’s so important for them to get out and get their sniffs. I mean I enjoy getting my steps in as well! Even stopping by to say a quick hello, a quick potty break, and a quick play, makes me happy to see them get excited for some love and attention. I’m your girl if you need my services for your lil cuties! I currently moved back to San Diego from LA and am enjoying spending time with my family. I have an open schedule Monday through Thursday, so am happy to also take time to spend with animals that need love and attention ❤️ I have a home that is safe and secure. I can crate if needed in my home or clients home. Love to cuddle and play and take them out when needed.
“Kerri was a wonderful sitter for my 2 kitties! She had great communication from start to finish, showed up on time, left a nice update after each visit and sent me lots of cute photos of my furbabies! I felt confident they were in good hands while I was away. I would definitely hire Kerri again.”
About: I started my own dog running business in Northern California. I would take my clients for runs and walks outside of their environment including the redwood forest and beaches. I’m responsible for picking up and dropping off at your home. I have pet sitter experience in my own home in the past. I’m free daily to do pet sitting while I’m studying. I do walks daily around the neighborhood. Anytime works for me I can do day sitting or multiple days. For my clients home I will follow the owners instructions. I will be available for walks or runs for dogs that can be use more energy burned.
About: Ive taken care of dogs ages ranging from 2-15. I’ve also been relied on to take on care for a boxer mix for a client’s 7 month deployment. I’m available everyday starting at 3pm and free every single weekend. If communicated beforehand I can make adjustments and make a schedule that can accommodate both of us! :) I have a dog named Max (maltipoo) I will love and care for your furbaby as my own. Hopefully Max can meet his future friends!
About: 5+ years experience taking care of dogs and cats. Respectful and great time management skills. Loves long walks and grew up in a two dog household. I currently work at UCSD, and I work from 7-3:30. I love winding down with a dog walk, or pet care. I am available weekends as well! I am comfortable walking any size of dog. I volunteer at an animal shelter, so I have experience housing dogs and cats! I love playing in home with dogs too if walking isn’t suitable for them.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I’m gentle, patient, and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality—whether that’s lots of playtime, long walks, or just some company while they nap. I’m also super detail-oriented and make sure they’re safe, happy, and well taken care of the entire time we’re together. I have a pretty flexible schedule and love starting my day with walks or spending time outdoors, so pet care fits in perfectly. I’m naturally active and love being around animals, so whether it’s drop-ins, playtime, or walks, it doesn’t feel like “work”—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for whether we’re at my place or yours. I always follow your routines and preferences exactly.
“Alynna was amazing with my fur baby when I was out of town. If you need someone to take care of your pet and know they are in good hands when you are away, Alynna is definitely your go to Rover sitter. I will be using her services again in the near future!”
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: On top of dog and cat sitting for 7+ years, I’m also a trained massage therapist with a passion for bringing the massage experience to animals as well! Your pet may get some added spa perks 🤗 I’m currently a remote worker, so I can be anywhere, anytime! I’ll have the occasional day of meetings, but even then I have ample time throughout the day to give your pet all the love and attention they deserve! I prefer to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home! This makes for a smoother transition when the pet parents are away, and your pet can stay in the routine they’re used to.
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.
“Emma was very friendly, provided great photos and updates, and easy to work with, even when the care instructions were a little complicated. I would recommend booking with her.”
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I have extensive experience in caring for dogs. My love for pets extends to my cat, Tiki, who I treat just like a dog because I can't help myself!

“Tori was so caring to my little guy. She updated me on his potty breaks as well as played fetch with him and took pictures! Will be using her services in the future :)”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. Now that my daughter has moved out (and took the family dogs with her), my home feels way too quiet. I’m an empty nester with lots of love, time, and patience to give to your pup. I live in a calm, quiet neighborhood and have a large, secure backyard with plenty of space to roam, sniff, and relax—perfect for dogs who love being outdoors but also enjoy a cozy place to rest. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, medications if needed, baths, and lots of affection. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home while you’re away. I’m retired and home most of the day, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m a homebody who truly enjoys spending time with animals. The only time I regularly leave the house is briefly to pick up my granddaughter from daycare. If a dog enjoys being out and about, I’m happy to include them in walks, outings, or dog-friendly errands—whether that’s a neighborhood stroll, a park visit, or a café stop. Of course, I always follow each owner’s preferences and only take dogs out if they’re comfortable and approved to do so. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood in the Terranova area of Chula Vista with very little traffic. My home has a large, secure backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. I supervise all outdoor time and carefully follow each dog’s routine, leash rules, and care instructions. Whether your dog prefers staying close to home or enjoys safe, dog-friendly outings, my goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where they feel secure, included, and truly at home.
About: Currently own 8 fur babies! I’ve done pet sitting since high school from family and friends. Have experience with big, small, medium dogs, cats and exotics! I'm a part time college student at the moment! I have plenty of free time to check on your pets and take good care of them! My dogs have a big fenced in yard to play in all day and access to water 24/7 with the ability to come inside whenever they want
Terra Nova pet parents share their Rover experiences
Here's a review you can use for your pet sitter: I am grateful for the care my dog and cat received during their time with Elissa. My fur babies were happy and well-cared for, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!"
Shannon did amazing. She handled my sifting pellet wood litter so well with it being her first time, gave my baby ample amounts of attention and love. Communication was frequent alongside cute pictures of my sweetie. Wish I could book you again. Have fun up north 🖤
Gao was an amazing fit for my need(s) for BearBear. Reading her profile was the main reason I selected her. She was very knowledgeable, passionate, and handled BearBear with the care he needed; above and beyond (medicine doses, nail trim, etc.). Her communication, availability and empathy was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Belinda watched my cat, Bella, for about 3 weeks and she did fantastic! Bella warmed up to her right away. Belinda was great about sending photos and making sure Bella’s food, water, and litter were taken care of. It made me feel much better knowing that there was such a caring person looking after my girl. I’d be happy to book her again.
Carmen is an amazing dog sitter! She came to our home twice a day and took wonderful care of our two dogs. Even our Frenchie, who is usually very skittish around new people, completely fell in love with her. You can tell she truly loves animals — she was patient, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Carmen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely devoted to pets. Our dogs fell so in love with her that we’re pretty sure they were disappointed when they saw us walk through the door instead of her! 😅 🤣
