Personalized care for your dog or cat - San Diego

“Araceli was great with my two corgis. She kept me updated throughout my time away with pictures and videos. My doggos had the best time and I plan to rebook with her the next time I need a sitter.”

Brooklynn V.

“Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!”

Audrey K.

“Isabella was very nice and patient with my animals. Always letting me know how they were doing and what they were up too. She took very good care of both my dog and my cat and loved them like they were her own.”

Sam G.

“Kenneth obviously loves Rylee and the feeling is mutual. She gets long walks and lots of cuddles. Kenneth sends regular updates and lots of pictures. I work five 48 hour shifts per month and I’m hope to book Kenneth as many of those days as he is free:)”

Melinda B.

“Wonderful host! Bella was comfortable with Robin right away and came home tired and happy! Really appreciate all of the daily pictures and videos. Can’t recommend enough!”

Amy K.

“My son is new to the area and needed to be gone overnight. We don't[ know anyone in the city so we opted to find someone on Rover to help. Phillip did an awesome job with my son's dog. He was extremely accommodating and sent pics and updates throughout the day. Cato went on plenty of walks and got lots of fresh air. I will definitely use Phillip again, he is an amazing dog sitter and Cato was well taken care of.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home, so your pet will have my full attention all day long. I currently have a cat and a 15 year old senior dog, so I truly understand the bond we have with our older furry friends. Since I care for a senior dog myself, I’m very comfortable with medical needs. I can easily handle: Injections (like insulin) and any oral medications. Special diets and strict feeding schedules. Senior care for pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. Because I’m home 24/7, I can provide constant companionship and as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be treated like family here I work from home full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule. Your pet will have my companionship 24/7, with constant supervision and as many potty breaks or walks as they need throughout the day A typical day includes lots of cuddles, mental stimulation, and fun games. We will explore the nearby park and enjoy long walks. Since I’m always home, I can strictly follow any feeding or medication schedules your pet requires

Shana did more than I expected, and I'm sure she would have accommodated any other requests if I had asked. I plan to ask her to watch my baby the next time I am out of town as well.”

About: I have a cat of my own for three years now so I am very familiar with working with animals and caring for them.

I currently have two dogs in one cats. I have a blue Doberman, Belgium, Melany, German👽 Shepherd mix and a long hair domestic cat. The dogs have had for about seven years now. And my cat.

About: Cats hold a special place in my heart, despite the fact that I’m a current dog owner. Their presence has always been calming.

In terms of experience, I’ve owned cats for a number of years and I can perform any task you need including: Grooming, walking, play time and medication administration.

“Upon my return I found my Lana to be well socialized and taken care of almost as well as if I had not left at all. Maria went beyond what was asked and made sure that my apartment was orderly even with the disruption of Lana knocking over some glassware and my forgetting to take out the trash before the trip. Thankful to have had someone to watch Lana during my absence.”

“Zannah was a kind and loving dog sitter for Tula! We were in town for a conference and needed help for a couple of hours during the weekend. Our 1-year old puppy ended up having a last minute, adolescent doggie event - and Zannah rolled with it in a patient and caring manner. She is very in-tune with dogs and respects them! Also - if you are staying downtown, she is in a very convenient location. I highly recommend her for your furry friends!”

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️‍🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈‍⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available.

“Leigh was amazing! I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I was worried about getting a dog sitter for Pierre, particularly out of town, but it was phenomenal. She made the entire experience completely stress-free. She gave frequent updates and my sweet boy really enjoyed spending time with her.”

Esa E.

“Camille was amazing. She took our booking last minute and was super flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times. She was so genuinely eager to hang with my dog and thanked me for trusting her with my pet.

Ty so much Camille!”

About: Howdy! I've been on rover for a few years now. I briefly stopped in 2023 and then in 2024 I moved down to SD. Now that my pooch and I are settled in we are ready to dog sit again! Throughout my time with Rover I developed a number of regular folks that trusted their dogs with me and my pooch. I have one dog, Butler. He's 8 and is a loving and patient dalmatian. And as you can see in the photos uploaded he definitely enjoys the dog company 🐾 See below for my work schedule :) I work in the office two days a week and work from home the other 3. On the work days in the office I am gone the whole time so I ask that your pooch is well acclimated to being able to be left alone for that extended period of time I live in an apartment right now that has plenty of parks around it so to make sure the dogs get exercise we can either go on long walks at least twice a day or go to the nearby parks

“Thank you, Leah, for giving Bodhi the space & time he needs in order to properly warm up to new humans and dogs. He’s had a rough life until now, but w/your help, he’s starting to be more trusting and willing to leave me. Thank you again!”

About: I grew up with parents who owned their own animal shelter, so caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Being around dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities taught me how to understand their needs and provide patient, loving care. As a Navy veteran, I’ve also developed strong responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. I treat every dog like family and am committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment so both you and your pup can feel comfortable and at ease. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I’ve been around animals my entire life. Growing up with parents who owned an animal shelter taught me the importance of feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule and make time each day for walks, outdoor activities, and quality one-on-one care, ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, exercise, potty breaks, and affection. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and lots of companionship. Having grown up with parents who owned an animal shelter, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.

“Amazing, amazing, amazing. So thoughtful, thorough, kind and gentle. My baby was so very well taken care of, with activity log of the day. Silke provided frequent but not obstrusive updates and photos throughout the day. She asked applicable questions to ensure appropriate care for Bella. Bella was so loved and well care for, that I am so appreciative and felt very much at ease with Silke's services. Thank you.”

Isela B.

About: Dogs are an integral part of the family! Growing up, we always had at least 3 dogs. Dogs are family not animals to me. I have always taken care of my family pets as well as neighbors dogs. As a teenager, I would take care of my neighbors pitbull and cocker spaniel by feeding them and playing with them when the neighbors were at work or on vacation. I know have 2 dogs, an 10 year old husky and a 6 year old chihuahua mix. They are still very youthful and cared for greatly. They definitely do not act there age. I love taking care of dogs and making their lives as special as they make mine. I am a full time dog mom! I am going to school, but I have the luxury of being attending from home which leaves me plenty of time for loving on the puppers. I have 2 dogs that are very friendly. If needed, I can crate you furry family member. My husky has food allergies so I have experience making sure the fur baby doesn't get into anything that would make their stomachs unhappy. I am super vigilant during walks and sun bathing since both of my dogs are severely allergic to bees. If you board your pet with me, they will be treated just like family. Your furry family member will become one of our family members while they are here. Any dietary restrictions or house rules you wish to disclose will be followed exactly!

“Armando was a life saver! I needed a last min walk because I got so busy with work and my pup was being a distraction. He was so kind and Presley came back very tired (yay)! I’ll book him again for sure”

Talinn J.

“Darya was awesome! Took our dog on a great walk and sent us some adorable pics of him. We greatly appreciate her accepting our last minute walking requests. Will definitely be a repeat client!”

About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

About: Hi! I love dogs and spending time outside, so dog walking is the perfect combo for me. I’m easygoing, reliable, and comfortable with all kinds of dogs. I’ll make sure your dog gets good exercise, attention, and lots of love—and I’ll keep you updated along the way 😊 I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays to drop in or take your dog on walks. If you work on the weekends or are away for the day I can help check in on your dog 😊 Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I follow your routine, use safe walking practices, and keep you updated so you can feel at ease.

About: Hello! I'm Natalie, an enthusiastic animal lover with a particular soft spot for cats and dogs. With years of experience caring for pets, I understand the unique needs and personalities of our furry friends. I recently became free of my regular mom’s responsibilities and my daughter lives and studies in San Diego, CA. I work remotely as a yoga/posture and Breathing Therapist. Whether it's playful pups or cozy kitties, I bring patience, affection, and a keen sense of responsibility to every pet-sitting job. I prioritize their well-being and happiness, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a homeowner myself, I can take care not only of your animals' needs but also of your home. Trust me to be a reliable and dedicated sitter for your beloved pets and your property. I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry family members! I work from home and set my own hours. I leave here and there sometimes to play pickleball or go have lunch or dinner with a friends but not for long periods of time I am very clean and tidy, and I do not smoke or drink. I am a homeowner and understand how to take excellent care of other people’s homes and pets. Caring for someone’s home and animals is a big responsibility, and I take it seriously. I also use these kinds of services for my own home and pets, so I believe in karma—along with being naturally caring, responsible, and loving.

“Joanna always does an amazing job!”

“Katherine was a delight! I had a series of important work conference calls on my calendar and couldn’t leave my home office. Katherine was a lifesaver. She showed up on time and took Charlie out for playtime. She was so respectful of my space and even put out a fresh potty pad for Charlie! And made sure his water and food was fresh as my call was running long. Charlie enjoyed her loving care and attention. He definitely didn’t want to see her leave. Wow! Thanks Katherine!!”

“Kenneth obviously loves Rylee and the feeling is mutual. She gets long walks and lots of cuddles. Kenneth sends regular updates and lots of pictures. I work five 48 hour shifts per month and I’m hope to book Kenneth as many of those days as he is free:)”

“My little shy guy thrived with Kristen! He’s usually pretty reserved but he was already playing and having a blast on the first day. Kristen was great about sharing updates and communicating. She treated my pup with empathy and care. We hope to be back!”

“Onyx had a great time with Melissa. Melissa sent lots of pictures during the stay which I appreciated very much. She also took Onyx out for long walks, play time at the park, and gave her plenty of belly rubs! Onyx will definitely stay with Melissa again!”

“Sarah and Taylor are THE BEST!i seriously couldn’t have asked for anyone better than them. I have an anxious girl and she looked so happy/comfortable in all of the pics that were sent! So many walks, so many pics, so much communication. Amazing. No notes!”

“Xuan is a fantastic dog sitter! My dog is a big boy with a few quirks but Xuan made sure he was comfortable and happy the whole stay. She kept me updated with photos which I always appreciate. Highly recommend.”

“Carolina and her husband are wonderful! They took such good care of our pup while we were away. They were super flexible with a last minute booking and kept us in the loop with photos and updates throughout the weekend. It’s clear our dog had a great time with them and we’ll definitely reach back out in the future for other sitting needs! Thanks so much Carolina :)”

“Lori watched our dog Hana for four nights and we couldn’t be more pleased. Hana can be very anxious and temperamental, but Lori exceeded our expectations and was able to form a bond with her quickly. We usually avoid boarding Hana at larger facilities because she becomes overwhelmed and overly anxious. However, Lori was able to provide Hana with much more intimate care where she felt safer. Lori provided daily updates showing us that Hana was active and well taken care of. This made it much easier to feel at ease while we are on vacation. We will certainly be using her again.”

“Vanessa was able to watch my dog last minute, and took very good care of him! I was very happy with the amount of attention he got, and I felt that he was very well cared for. I would book with Vanessa again in the future!”

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego. This affords me **95% full flexibility and availability** in times I can provide dog walks, drop in visits, and accept daycare/boarding drop offs and pick ups! :) I care for all animals as if they were my own, because I understand the anxiety of leaving our furbabies when work or travel calls. 🥹❤️‍🩹🥰 I’ve loved caring for my Bombay 🐕 the past 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 year old pup, and we enjoy walks in the neighborhood and the grass park every 2-4 hours. (On hot days, we drive straight to the grass park to avoid the cement/asphalt). This life style, with a commitment of only a flexible few hours of computer work at home each day, gives me a chance to give plenty of attention to all fur babies in my care. Especially for pups who may feel more at home in a relaxed setting (instead of the chaos of bustling day care centers or confines of a boarding kennel), my apartment can be the *calm* oasis for them whether the need care just for the daytime or for extended overnight boarding. 🥰 For cat parents 🐈‍⬛🐈😻: I cared for a lovely cat for 1.5 years that I dearly miss. I cannot board cats in my apartment, but I can do daily or twice daily cat visits for clients along with the duties of liter box / feeding / play time. Please reach out to me so we can arrange care! >>> I can often accept SAME-DAY-care requests after 9 AM if my calendar shows me as available. (I understand sometimes things happen last minute and you need a trustworthy person to step in and care for your pet).

“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”

“Michelle provided an amazing stay for our pup while we were out for a week. She was quick to respond, extremely flexible and provided great updates. If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend using Michelle’s services.”

“Shelby took great care of my senior pup, Sage! This was a last minute booking, and she was very accommodating. She kept me updated throughout the stay, and I had complete peace of mind knowing Sage was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Shelby again!”

“Jessica was wonderful! She kept my golden doodle for 5 nights. She took him on many walks, play dates, and I felt like my high energy pup was taken care of wonderfully. She sent photos and updates frequently. She is flexible, responsive, and kind. If I need a sitter again, I will definitely call Jessica!”

“Teresa was truly incredible with our fur baby, Charlie. I had so much anxiety leaving him since we don’t travel often, but this year we’ve had more events come up and knew it was time to find a sitter outside of family. We’re so grateful we found Teresa. She treated Charlie like her own from the moment we met her. He has pretty severe anxiety and can be challenging at times, but Teresa handled everything with so much patience, kindness, and care. Not once did we hear a complaint—instead, she kept us updated with photos and videos of her comforting and encouraging him, which meant everything to us. Teresa, thank you again for taking such amazing care of our boy. We’re so lucky to have found you and will absolutely be booking with you for as long as we’re in San Diego. See you soon—and woof woof from Charlie 🐾💕”

“Ben was awesome! He took this last minute booking so my dad was able to enjoy the city with us while Dexter, his dog was safe and sound. Ben communicated with us very quickly and accommodated a last minute change of plans. With use again!”

“Blake’s stay with Zannah & Doug was great! I really appreciated their communication, and all the small things to ensure Blake’s comfortability. Zannah’s passion and love for dogs has no bounds, and that is seen in the care they provide. Highly recommend!”

“Great experience! Reyes & Daniel were very sweet and accommodating for our 1 week stay in San Diego. Felt like they genuinely cared for Banksy and comfortable with the whole process. Would book again!”
