“Rebecca is a very caring cat professional. She listened and was eager to learn my cat’s needs. She has provided pictures, videos and kind comments throughout my cat’s stay. If you are looking for extra TLC for your cats while you are away, I highly recommend Rebecca.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my two dogs with Cristina. And I know, because the pics and videos, that my dogs had a great time and enjoyed their stay! Thank you Cristina for watching them like they are yours.”
“Verle and Kaitlin were great with my pup! They sent so many cute pics and daily updates and helped put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will rebook the next time we’re in need. Great communication and wonderful sitters!”
“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.”
“Very friendly and great communication. Provided pics of my puppy as happy as can be at the park. Provided information about my puppies stay overnight; what she ate, how she slept, and if she would most likely need to potty soon. Will for sure use her services again. Thank you.”
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
“Araceli is great and her house is perfect for my smedium sized dog! I know that Scout felt at home and enjoyed running around her yard when she wasn’t lazing around. That allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands thank you Araceli for taking such good care of Scout! 🐾”
“Vipul was awesome, he has a lot of experience with dogs, and a nice fenced in yard for them to play. Our dog was happy, as evidenced in the pictures and video he sent us while on vacation. We highly recommend him.”
“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”
“Melinda and her family are fabulous! They are the only sitters I’ve used multiple times. The last time I dropped off my dog she basically ran in their place and didn’t look back - she enjoys it. My dog conveniently forgets how to walk on a leash when she stays with them, but the pictures I get while I’m gone show them patiently carrying my sassy dog around every time and treat her right :) I would highly recommend!”
“Pamela was outstanding. I was able to do a very early drop off in the morning as I had to go to Los Angeles for work plus, she accommodated on a very short notice. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Trent and his wife took great care of my dog. They even sent me photos of her playing with their dogs. She came back spent and couldn’t get her off her bed. LOL 🤣 A tired dog is a happy dog. LOL 🤣”
“Chau is awesome! We used her for our first Rover experience and were so impressed. She took our dog on walks every day and sent us photos. I would highly recommend Chau!”
“Raquel was great. There was always great communication, great pictures and updates. Our boy came back freshly bathed and even came with a cute gift bag with the most adorable “report card”. 10/10 would highly recommend (even my husband said he’ll refer his friends and co-workers and he’s super particular). Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy, we will be booking again!”
“Pilar was awesome. She made my baby feel so at home he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures as well. I will book again with her.”
“Gwen has helped us with our senior dog and is now helping us with our new puppy. She always takes good care of our dogs and they get excited when it’s time to visit again.”
“Ami and her home were a great match for Henny. Coco and Henny got along very well during their meet and greet that I immediately knew it would be a great fit. Ami was very understanding and helpful. We received photo updates and when we picked up Henny she was very happy and we will definitely use Ami again and recommend to family and friends.”

“Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️”
“Thank you Joanne! We appreciate all your help on such short notice. She was amazing and the pups were happy. Attention to detail and communication were amazing. Will definitely be booking again”
About: I provide drop-in care for cats, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and general check-ins to make sure they are safe while you are away. While I have not owned cats myself, I have experience caring for cats through drop-in visits for friends and family. I understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level, so I always take a calm and patient approach, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I focus on making sure they are well cared for and that their routine stays consistent while you’re gone. 💗🐾
“Janet was great, she watched my dog and cat for a long weekend. She fed them, walked them, distributed vitamins, and was very responsive and communicative. Everything was in great shape when I returned. Will be hiring again. Thanks Janet!”
“DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK! This is Terry and I’s 2nd time working with Janetta and I literally have no complaints. My favorite part of working with Janetta is the fact she cares for my son as if he was hers. Her communication….chefs kiss! She is very punctual and respectful of my home as well. She truly goes above and beyond of the tasks asked of her, and we couldn't be more grateful to have the ability to book with a sitter like her!”
About: I owned two cats — a girl and a boy, although very briefly when I was 13 and it lasted a year. I loved how regal they were, and how trusting, kind, soft they were once you got to know them. At first, they were really timid beings that would run from everyone in my family, with the one and only exception being when they heard their metal food bowls clank down full. It took them about two weeks of analyzing our schedules to slowly open themselves up to us and allow us to be around them, pet them, show them love. I would give them small sniff tests here and there to test their readiness level, and they became acclimated to me quicker than anyone else for that reason. Our family had to give them back after one year because the family who gave them to us moved back here from out of state and wanted to have their cats back. Aside from owning cats, I started being around cats from when I was 10 until I turned 15 because I had friends that owned cats — an older cat (21 years old) and a kitten (8 months when I first met her). I would take care of those two cats whenever I would sleep over at their place, feed them and give them water periodically. I love being around cats!
“Thank you Ana for taking care of my boys during the busy holiday weekend. I appreciate that you were able to step up and cover an extra day when my flight was canceled as part of the Southwest meltdown.”
“Kelsey, was super awesome with my Zena! She kept good comms with me before and during the visit. Zena has tons of energy and Kelsey ensured Zena got a little playtime and water. Much appreciated the drop in and Zena care!!”
“Kalista took such good care of our two cats! We felt confident leaving our senior boys with minor health issues in her care. She was so patient with them and everything was clean and organized when we returned. Overall great experience, wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Rebecca is a very caring cat professional. She listened and was eager to learn my cat’s needs. She has provided pictures, videos and kind comments throughout my cat’s stay. If you are looking for extra TLC for your cats while you are away, I highly recommend Rebecca.”
“Jiaqi was so amazing, very caring and attentive to our cat, she exceeded our expectations. She gave her the best care. We appreciated the daily pictures, videos and updates while we were on our trip. I highly 100% recommend and we would definitely be happy to use her services again.”
“Lynne is an exceptional and accomplished caretaker! She caters to each cats individual needs and desires with no hesitation, and even brought a few of her own toys to entice play! It is one less thing for us to worry about when Lynne watches the cats, and even gives us plenty of photos. We could not recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve always loved being around cats and caring for animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also happy to follow routines, give updates, and send photos so owners feel at ease while they’re gone.
“I can’t recommend Tara enough! She took amazing care of my anxious cat, ensuring she felt safe and comfortable while I was away. Tara was incredibly responsive to my requests, going above and beyond to give me peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“This is the most welcoming and joyful home. One of the highlights is that my pup gets to play in secret paradise. You’ll understand if you book. I hope to reconnect with them soon. It’s so rare when the space and the family are absolute treasures.”
“Absolutely wonderful people and the best communication I’ve had in all my years using Rover! I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with Jermere & Janetta; will definitely be booking again if my girls behaved themselves 😂❤️”
About: As a full-time retired “dog grandpa,” I’ve spent over 50 years caring for dogs of every shape, size, and personality. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pups just like my own. I currently share my home with a friendly spaniel mix who loves making new friends and helps create a warm, social atmosphere for visiting dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and happiest when I’m surrounded by wagging tails. From energetic youngsters to sweet seniors, I know how to keep each dog comfortable, confident, and cared for. Now that I’m fully retired, caring for pets has become one of the most enjoyable parts of my day. I’m home most of the time, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, and peaceful company throughout the day. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, and my open schedule allows me to keep your pet’s routine steady morning strolls, afternoon cuddles, or extra playtime, whatever they need. My home is set up with pets in mind. I have a secure fenced backyard with a large pet door so dogs can safely go in and out for fresh air and play. My spaniel mix is friendly and loves having canine company. We take daily walks to nearby parks, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and stretching those legs. Inside the house, pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel comfortable and yes, that includes the furniture. I provide a calm, supervised, and cozy environment, and I’m experienced with crates, medications, special diets, and supporting dogs with different energy levels or routines. Your dog will be treated like a cherished family member with all the gentle attention, structure, and warmth you’d expect from a loving retired grandpa.
“Vanessa was able to do a meet and greet with my pup before the daycare visit, which I appreciated! She was quick with communicating with me leading up to drop off. My pup came home tired which is exactly what I needed!”

About: Hello! I’m a Zoology student working toward becoming a veterinarian and a Military Conservation Agent veteran. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including emergency care and working alongside veterinarians, and I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. With my background, I can also provide informed medical guidance when needed. I’m especially a great fit if your dog needs extra care—such as medical support or recovery monitoring. I can administer medications, closely track their condition, and offer cross-border vet services to Mexico, either accompanying you or independently taking your dog for care. My goal is to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. As a full-time student, I work around my class schedule and maintain a high level of flexibility. My only fixed commitments are my lab sessions, but outside of those times, I can adjust my availability to fit your needs, including early mornings, evenings, and most daytime hours. I have professional experience handling high-drive even dangerous animals, including wolfdogs and wildlife. I know how to manage strong breeds safely and calmly. I respect your home and property. I use professional handling techniques to ensure safety during walks, and I am fully capable of providing basic medical care and behavioral support if any issues arise during my stay."

“Pamela is a very sweet lady:) she took our Nova for a day and when we got there she slowly introduced her to the other dogs before letting her run. She is very cautious and handles the dogs very well. I would definitely recommend her services to others.”
“I recommend Lori as a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! My dog is strong and energetic, and Lori knew how to manage him, and was very kind and patient. She gave him lots of needed attention and kept me updated. I appreciate Lori so much for making me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands!”
“Our small puppy felt right at home here, and Maria was very accommodating. Highly recommend her especially if you have smaller dogs. Her dog seemed very friendly and welcoming to our pup. Thank you for working and communicating with us during his stay!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
About: My senior dog was my very best friend and companion. I adopted him when my cousin wasn't able to care for him anymore. He passed away last May at the age of 14 after battling ongoing diseases/old age. We walked every day and he also had a big fenced garden to play in. I will make sure your dog has all the attention they need, plenty of restroom breaks, and their daily walks. I will treat them as my own furry friend. I am a stay at home mom and am available throughout the day to ensure they receive the attention they need. I am able to give your dog their daily routine, potty breaks, feeding times, and walks/playtime/exercise as needed. I will care for them as my own and make sure they feel at home. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of grass to play in. I have a 4 year old who is very good with animals because he grew up with my senior dog when he was born. I have doggy beds/couches for your dog to sit/sleep on. I no longer have my senior dog with me so it will be just me and my 4 year old. I am available at all times of the day since I stay at home and can monitor your companion.
“Melinda is the best!! I’ve taken my pug to her 3 times in the last two weeks and my pug always has a blast. Melinda does so many fun and creative things with the dogs she cares for. My pug is a ball of energy and he comes home really tired when I pick him up (which means he had a lot of fun). Melinda is very good with all types of dogs and it’s very evident that she has a passion for what she does. Highly recommend Melinda!”
“Karen was very communicative. I would trust her with taking care of my Baloo Bear again. He went on several walks and we even got pictures which helped our nerves. I would not hesitate to leave our doggy in her care again. Thanks again Karen!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small animals like bunnies and guinea pigs. 🐶🐱🦎My family and I have raised multiple puppies and cared for seniors, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m actively working on potty training and basic obedience. I’ve provided pet care for friends and family including dog walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality/play time with pets. I treat every animal like my own and would be happy to send updates/photos so you always know how your pet is doing. 💗 I’m a military spouse who moved to San Diego about a year ago. Since I’m not working another job, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m unavailable most Thursdays and Fridays however, I’m open and able to accommodate care and scheduling needs. I provide care in your home and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I give them plenty of attention and keep their environment clean and safe.
About: In total I’ve had 5 dogs in my lifetime, dating far back to when I was a baby! Dogs of many sizes and kinds of dogs from small to big, a labrador rottweiler mix, bichon frise and the rest being rat terriers. So from about the time I was born until I was 13 (I am now 20), I owned 5 dogs :). I loved being able to walk my dogs, taking them to parks, just being in their company really. I look after my friends’ dogs on occasion as well as my relative’s when they’re busy and decided that I would love to make it into a career. I don’t have a job, and I’m a student at Southwestern, I was full time last semester but the semester ended just last week. I will be fully free for the next two weeks with the exception of Friday’s from 6pm-11pm (can be negotiated if need be!). I’m open every week day and every day of weekend, willing to work anywhere from 8am until about 5pm. I will be taking one class in the summer, ballet (dance), that begins June 15th, ends August 8th and runs Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:25am to 11:25 AM for all three days. I would not be allowed to host any pet in my house as we have two babies in the house and we’re not fully aware of their allergies yet, however, it would be best for me to do drop ins or house sitting sessions for that reason. I think doing a meet and greet beforehand would be amazing so that we could have a chance to meet each other first and maybe introduce me to your pet to see if I could be a good match to sit for them instead of blindly throwing me with them!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I share my life with Dulce, my playful and well-socialized 1.5-year-old pup who is spayed and fully up to date on all core vaccinations. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and accompanies me during full-day and overnight stays in San Diego. Because Dulce joins me, I accept bookings with dogs who are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. Many pups enjoy the added companionship, but I’m always attentive to each dog’s individual comfort level. I’m happy to thoughtfully socialize them or keep them separated as needed to ensure safety and peace of mind. Your pet will always receive attentive, loving care tailored to their routine and personality. I welcome dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Your pet’s routine is my top priority. I follow feeding, walking, and play schedules as you outline, with plenty of attention and breaks for rest. For full-day or overnight stays, I’m present and engaged the entire time, ensuring consistency and care throughout the day. Safety comes first. Dulce and I maintain a calm, controlled environment, and I supervise all interactions between pets. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I can adapt to your pet’s comfort level—whether that means gentle socialization or separate spaces. Your home and your pet’s belongings are treated with the utmost respect.
“Janet takes such great care of my dogs and makes it so much easier to be away from them. She’s attentive, patient, communicative, and my dogs absolutely love her. They always get plenty of exercise, attention, and quality care, and are happy and relaxed when I get home. I absolutely trust Janet with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!”
“I am so grateful to Monique, she did such a great job helping to take care of our Yoyo while we were out of town. My dog is not always easy but took right to Monique. She kept me updated and sent me photos. Especially when you are out of town it is so important to know someone is taking such good care of your pet. I will definitely be reaching out to Monique again and appreciate her so much.”

“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: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—starting with our sweet family dog growing up. Now, I share my home (and heart!) with two more pups I co-parent with my girlfriend: a small Shih Tzu and a senior mix, along with our youngest frenchie, Cleo. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for every pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or behavior changes. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and I’m always mindful of doors, gates, and other safety measures. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Availability: I do work a 8-5 Mon-Fri job. I am open to house sitting if your pup can be okay with me being gone during those hours. I work in the El Cajon area so if you’re close by, I could stop to check on your pup during my lunch break. I try to accommodate as much as possible 😊 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexible scheduling so your pet gets the attention they need—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, enrichment play, or bedtime cuddles. I work from home and spend most of my time indoors or outside on walks, so I’m able to provide consistent companionship, love, and care throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for your pet.

And when I’m not boarding I have a lot of free time and flexibility to drive out to your fur baby to feed them, walk them, clean their litter or offer whatever care they need. I have a great green open space right outside my home for walking dogs (and maybe even some cats!) My home is cute, comfortable and calm for dogs and cats alike. My cats would be separated in their own favored space while your pets enjoyed free range of my home during their stay.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years. While also having my own at some points in life while I currently do not have any pets now I would love to spend some of my time helping people with their pets. I currently have a full time job but I am available most days any time after 3pm and some weekends. I’ m not very busy after work so that’s why I want to start taking care of some pets. I live in a house which has its own yard so I have plenty of room for dogs to play and run around. But I prefer to just help other take their dogs out when they are busy

“Verle and Kaitlin were great with my pup! They sent so many cute pics and daily updates and helped put me at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will rebook the next time we’re in need. Great communication and wonderful sitters!”
“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.”
“Monique (and her family) watched my senior kitty with chronic kidney disease. I was very concerned about him using the bathroom and being comfortable since it’s the first time I boarded him anywhere. She was incredibly helpful and did a meet & greet with us to see how he would do. We discussed the best set-up for him ahead of time and she really put my worries at ease. She sent me plenty of updates about his situation and pictures of him. He warmed up to them way quicker than I thought he would! He was incredibly comfortable with them after about a day. They really treated him like he was a part of the family!”
“Pamela was outstanding. I was able to do a very early drop off in the morning as I had to go to Los Angeles for work plus, she accommodated on a very short notice. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Trent and his wife took great care of my dog. They even sent me photos of her playing with their dogs. She came back spent and couldn’t get her off her bed. LOL 🤣 A tired dog is a happy dog. LOL 🤣”
“Raquel was great. There was always great communication, great pictures and updates. Our boy came back freshly bathed and even came with a cute gift bag with the most adorable “report card”. 10/10 would highly recommend (even my husband said he’ll refer his friends and co-workers and he’s super particular). Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy, we will be booking again!”
“Ami and her home were a great match for Henny. Coco and Henny got along very well during their meet and greet that I immediately knew it would be a great fit. Ami was very understanding and helpful. We received photo updates and when we picked up Henny she was very happy and we will definitely use Ami again and recommend to family and friends.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
“Jermere & Janetta were absolutely awesome to work with. My dogs had such a good time. From the beginning to end, their communication was stellar and very helpful especially for our senior dog. Thank you again J & J!”
“Cerita is so accommodating and sweet with Indy. We felt so comfortable leaving him for the night. We got updates and photos, he had so much fun! Indy would love to come back and visit!”
“if you were looking for someone to care for your furry, loved one and keep you posted on how they’re doing. Siera is the best . she took time to really get to know Enzo, and give him the special attention he needed. I would use her and recommend her to anybody who loves their pet. she will care for him and keep your mind at ease.”
“Wonderful experience! Alexis did an amazing job caring for my husky, Ghost, who can be a bit difficult at times. She truly knew how to meet his needs, and I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for during his stay. Ghost came home happy, full of energy, and clearly loved his time with her. Alexis was also incredibly responsive with my last minute booking request, and communication was excellent throughout the entire 5 day boarding. I would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. My dog, Bearra, a Lab and German Shepherd mix, recently passed away after living an amazing 15.5 years. She was such a huge part of my life and taught me how important patience, love, exercise, and attentive care are for pets at every stage of life. As a teacher on summer break, I’m looking forward to spending more time outside doing something I truly enjoy, caring for and spending time with dogs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I would love the opportunity to provide dependable, caring, and attentive service for both you and your dog. I am a teacher on summer break, so I currently have a very flexible schedule with my days, evenings, and weekends available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I enjoy being active and outside, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine and gives me the opportunity to spend time doing something I genuinely love. While I do not have a private yard, my complex has safe grassy areas for walks and bathroom breaks, and I enjoy taking dogs on walks around Coronado, Seaport Village, and Miramar Reservoir. I treat pets like family, so they are welcome on the furniture and will receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care while they are with me.
“Jessica was an amazing sitter while we were away. She was kind, thoughtful, and was even able to watch our kitten Dolly for the weekend with such short notice. She sent us updates about how Dolly was adjusting along with photos. It’s clear her home is full of animal lovers! We could not recommend her more. Thank you Jessica!”
“Have used Anar twice now and had a great experience each time! My pup comes home happy and she is quick to respond and sends lots of updates. Would highly recommend :)”
“Seriously the BEST experience I’ve had on Rover so far! I’ve had multiple dog sitters through Rover and I never had someone so attentive, caring, and loving to my dog! They sent multiple photos/videos throughout his stay and made me feel so comfortable. And my dog was POOOOOOPED once he got home!!”
“Lisa sent the cutest pictures during their stay, and my dogs absolutely loved being with her. They seemed so happy and comfortable—it honestly looked like they barely wanted to leave! I’d definitely trust her again and will be rebooking in the future 😊”
