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
“She was so accommodating on the time, my work schedule is constantly changing, and she sent me goofy pictures of my kitty Zoloft. I’m pretty sure he didn’t miss me at all while with Isabelle. She was awesome and I Will definitely be booking in the future. ☺️”
“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!”
About: Hey there! I’m a proud doggo-dad who works from home (tech industry). I’d love to start watching your pup, PLUS my doggo, Frida, could use some friends. I work from home. Me and my doggo live in a luxury high rise building in downtown San Diego. I take my doggo out for potty breaks 4 times a day, and thus can easily do the same with your doggo. I’m an overprotective dog dad who keeps a close eye on my doggo as I work from home all day. Thus, I can easily do the same with your pup!
“Maya enjoyed her stay once again! Thanks for taking such great care of her and sending fun updates of her day while we were out of town. She can’t wait for her next visit!”
“Chau is such a great dog sitter! She is responsive, engaged and enthusiastic. I really appreciate Chau's excellent communication in person, via text and through photos. My dog was very well cared for over the weekend and came home happy and tired from all the fun. I will definitely use Chau again because of her obvious love for dogs and her enthusiasm to watch them.”
“Jennifer was a great sitter for my 1 1/2 year dachshund for a 3 night stay. They went on adventures each day and Jenn was great about sending daily update pics/videos. Her apt appeared super clean and safe for pets. Would definitely recommend her for your animals next stay.”
“Alex was great! Sent updates and photos every day. When I picked up Millie she was torn between going home with me and going back with Alex. I say that's a great endorsement! Thank you Alex!”

“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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. I enjoy gaining the trust of cats, as it’s often a challenge unlike most dogs. 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.
“She is the best rover we’ve ever had. Extremely communicative, can problem solve, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with the animals. Highly recommend!!”
About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for years, and I currently have three of my own, including a rescued former street cat. Caring for cats has taught me that every cat is different, and I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs. I have experience with everything from kittens to senior cats, administering daily care after medical procedures, monitoring eating and drinking habits, keeping litter boxes spotless, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. I know how subtle cats can be when they’re stressed or feeling unwell, so I always pay close attention to the little details. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind.
“Maria was excellent and so accommodating! She communicated extremely well and is a delight! My animal was happy and purring at pickup. She even sent photos and videos while he was with her. Thanks Maria!”
“Christine was great and took wonderful care of my Devon Rex. She is communicative, reliable and did a wonderful job ensuring his food, water and litter box were replenished and clean upon each visit. I would definitely book her again when I travel next.”
“So thankful to have found Lara! She house-sat my cat for 2 days while I was out of town, and he seemed like he loved hanging with his new bff in all the photos she sent me! I will definitely use her again the next time I need a sitter. Thanks Lara! ?”
“She was so accommodating on the time, my work schedule is constantly changing, and she sent me goofy pictures of my kitty Zoloft. I’m pretty sure he didn’t miss me at all while with Isabelle. She was awesome and I Will definitely be booking in the future. ☺️”

She arrived on time, sent pictures and updates and again, took great care of our cat. We will definitely request her again as well as highly recommend!”
“Darya was an excellent caretaker for our 2 cats with twice daily drop in visits. She took time to play with our babies and get them lots of pets. We could tell by the pictures she sent that both cats were very appreciative of her care. We would hire Darya again!”
“We never had to worry about how our kitties were doing on our 2 week long trip. I really appreciated the updates and pictures Aleksandra sent every day. You can tell she really loves animals and is trustworthy, responsible and goes above and beyond! I will definitely reach out to her in the future whenever we need an in-home cat sitter!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our cat, Dexter! She was very attentive, kept us updated with amazing videos, and made sure Dexter had plenty of playtime and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about him, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
About: When it comes to cats, my approach is all about understanding their unique personalities and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with even the most shy or independent felines. I'm skilled in providing specialized care, like administering medication for senior cats or engaging young kittens with interactive play to encourage healthy development. I also pay close attention to their environment, ensuring their litter is clean, their feeding routine is consistent, and they have plenty of mental stimulation. It's about creating a calm and enriching experience for them, making sure they feel secure and happy while their owners are away.
About: My family and I have always had cats growing up and I’ve always loved taking care of them. I also have two cats of my own now that used to be strays. I am comfortable administering medication if needed. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions!
About: I grew up with a Himalayan cat who lived to be 15, so caring for cats—especially seniors—has always been part of my life. I also spent five years caring for a rescue cat with ongoing health needs, which gave me hands-on experience with more attentive, specialized care. I’m comfortable looking after cats of all ages and needs, including multiple cats or kittens, and I’m reliable when it comes to following detailed care instructions.
About: I've been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years. I own a small dog myself and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone responsible and attentive. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment, respecting routines, feeding schedules, and walks. I always observe the dogs' body language and act with patience and care. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, as I organize my activities to be present and attentive throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to supervise, play with, and attend to the needs of each pet. I adapt to their feeding, walking, and rest schedules so they feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay. I provide a calm, safe, and supervised environment. I always respect each pet's routines and preferences, observe their body language, and act with patience. I keep the areas clean and safe, and I take controlled walks according to the owner's instructions. If I care for the pet in their home, I follow all instructions to maintain their usual space and routine.

“Alexandra was OUTSTANDING. Excellent communication, on time, reliable, and so kind to my new rescue. I had several people decline taking my new 1 yr old rescue but Alexandra came to my rescue! I will for sure be using her service again. She was so patient and gentle. Her own pups look so happy, that tells you a lot. And my pup was so happy to see Alexandra and her pups daily for daycare.

“Tania did an exemplary job providing doggy day care for a week for Levi, our five-month-old Vizsla puppy. We got lots of pictures and updates, and I could tell he was very well taken care of. He definitely got lots of play time inside and out, and came home tired and ready to sleep, which was perfect. I highly recommend her for your dog-sitting needs.”

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
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.
About: Hi there! Experienced and responsible animal lover here to help! Raising both puppies and kittens from babies to adults, I know it takes a village and I'm here to help be part of yours! I grew up with a whole array of animals and know each of them have their own little (or often BIG) personalities and needs and can't wait to meet yours! I currently have a 7 month old Borzoi puppy at home who is our whole world, the least intimidating dog on the planet, and the social butterfly of our local dog park. While I've been an experienced pet owner and caregiver my whole life, the last several months I've become acutely reminded of the work, training, and messes that come with puppies. Ours took a whole village and I'm here to help be a part of yours! From high energy puppies to lower speed elderly dogs, I'm happy to meet an array of needs and step in wherever you need to fill in the gaps. I'm also an experienced cat owner and have had the privilege of owning a hairless cat and cat sitting often for friends with an elderly cat who needs an inhaler so any special requirements you may have, I'm happy to help. Please don't hesitate to reach out and ask any questions! I'm currently working at a hospital with a changing schedule and some classes throughout the week so my availability is always listed as fully available due to this changing nature week to week. I can almost always fit a new pup into my schedule though so always reach out and we can more than likely find a time that works! I live in a large apartment so while we don't have a yard, we take our dog for walks about every 4 hours and usually a stop or two a day at the dog park so she can get some running time in and really burn energy. She is 7MO and incredibly friendly to every dog she meets. She typically stays in a large crated area when no one is home but has full range of the apartment when we are. We are happy to crate your dog if that's your preference. Rest assured, whatever needs you have for your pet whether it's burning energy, socializing with dogs, staying separate from other dogs, etc. we can accommodate.
“Booked with Jeremy for a last-minute day trip to San Diego. He was responsive, easy to work with, and took great care of my highly anxious Australian Shepherd. Huckleberry seemed more settled than usual afterward and looked like he genuinely enjoyed his day. I’d happily book with Jeremy again.”
“Melissa is fantastic! Waddles has stayed with her twice now for daycare. I receive pictures throughout the day and Waddles is always happy and tired when she comes home.”

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: I've been walking and sitting dogs for over nine years now, and it's something I absolutely love. My experience includes owning some larger, powerful breeds like German Shepherds, Great Danes, and English Mastiffs, so I'm very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Currently, I have a Belgian Malinois, which means I'm well-versed in providing the kind of structured exercise and mental stimulation that high-energy dogs need to thrive. Pet care is a big part of my daily and weekly routine, especially with a Belgian Malinois! Every morning starts with a good walk or run to burn off some energy, followed by feeding. Throughout the day, there are potty breaks, training sessions, and playtime. Evenings usually involve another walk and some quiet cuddle time. On a weekly basis, I make sure to schedule grooming, vet check-ups if needed, and dedicated time for more intensive training or enrichment activities to keep things interesting. It's all about consistency and making sure they're happy and healthy! When I care for pets, whether it's in my home or a client's, the main goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. This usually means sticking to their regular feeding schedule, giving them their meds if needed, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime. I also pay close attention to their behavior, looking for any signs of discomfort or illness, and keep in touch with the owner to give them updates and peace of mind.
About: I have some pet care experience, particularly with puppy training and senior pet care. I understand their unique needs, ensuring they receive the right attention. My dedication to providing personalized care and building relationships with pets and their owners makes me a great choice for pet sitting. Pet care is an important part of my day. I have flexible hours during the week and weekends, so I can take good care of your pets. You can count on me to give them the attention they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety is my top priority. I keep the environment clean and remove any hazards. I follow routines for feeding and playtime to keep pets happy. I also stay in touch with pet owners to ensure I'm meeting their needs and preferences.
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!

I work part-time from my phone for a marketing company, so I’m usually free and flexible to care for your pets and go on walks. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my husband, our place is pretty spacious and open, we play fetch with the dogs in here often. Also, in my building we have a pets area where I can take dogs for walks and playtime.

“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.”
“Ben took great care of our dog! She got along great with his dog, Bodie, and they enjoyed time together on walks and around the apartment. We could tell our dog felt comfortable and enjoyed her time staying with Ben. Wonderful dog sitter and highly recommended!”
“Jessica took such great care of my dog. He got along well with the other pets in the home and I got daily updates while I was away. I highly recommend and will be having Jessica sit my dog again in the future!”
“This was our first time using Jordan, and it was a great experience from start to finish. She was super attentive and kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated. She even took the time to meet Kai beforehand, which made us feel so much more comfortable. She was always responsive and worked around our schedule—every time we messaged her, she got back to us quickly. Communication was easy the whole time. Kai came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re already planning to rebook with Jordan!”
“Melissa is paws-up the best Rover host experience! We have utilized Rover multiple times over the last 4 years and Melissa is by far the best. She is professional, congenial, trustworthy and communicates flawlessly. Huge thanks for taking great care of our family member!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Taylor & Sarah. They exceed all communication expectations and it was beyond evident in the photos they sent that our dog felt super comfortable and happy with them and Mango. As a rover sitter myself, I know what goes into caring for others dogs - we are so appreciative of their level of care, and they made us feel beyond comfortable while we were away :)”
“Sandra took care of out there-month old puppy so well! She took him out on frequent potty breaks and there has been zero potty accidents in her house, and she sent a lot of pictures and videos throughout the day! Thanks Sandra!”
“Matt took really good care of our dog while we were out of town. Our dog can be reactive and fearful of people and other dogs and Matt took the extra steps to make sure our dog was comfortable. Will definitely book with him again”
