“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”
“Robin was an outstanding choice to watch our fur baby! You can tell that she really loves dogs and was happy to have Trevor at her home. She is an excellent communicator, responded to our messages quickly, and kept us updated with daily pictures of our pup. He was definitely loving his multiple walks and extra attention. I would happily book Robin again!”
“Joe took great care of my dog, Shamrock! He has a sweet dog named Callie. Callie and Shamrock became fast friends. Joe’s home is lovely and offers a secure yard for the pups to play. I highly recommend boarding your pup with Joe and Callie.”
“Coco loves Ana and her husband! They really treat her like they would their own pup. They are super accommodating to her needs as an anxious dog with separation anxiety, and I know she loves the extra affection and attention that they give her while she stays with them. This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!”
About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! Madelyn took wonderful care of our dog from Wednesday night through Sunday morning and kept us updated with messages and photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our Archer looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. It was clear that she genuinely love animals and treated our Archer like family. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend her services and would definitely book with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our furry family member. Our Maltese-Shih Tzu can be a little picky and attached to us, but she made him feel comfortable and loved right away. 🐾💕”
“Chris and Shane were great to work with an d tok great care of our Dolly . Dolly loved staying with them . We will definitely be having her stay with them again . Thank you both very much”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Diana’s care. This is the first time I left my dog overnight with someone and I have had my dog nine years. Now I can go places that don’t accept dogs and I feel comfortable leaving him behind.”
“highly recommend Zaira for your next trip! She is a very caring dog owner and sent lots of updates while watching Murphy and was very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Her dog Malik is very sweet!”
“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!”
“Melanie was great! She sent us updates every day and our pup seemed right at home. It was our first time using Rover so we were a little apprehensive but she put us at ease after meeting her and seeing how comfortable our boy was with her.”
“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.”
“My dog kingston had a great time with David, i could tell because he was chipper and lively after i picked him up. David was communicative and extra helpful even when i forgot to pack some of kimgston's essentials. He was also extra nice to accomodate me for pick up and drop off. I will definitely be a return customer when i am back in san diego.”
“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 second time trusting Holly with our furbaby! She is always on time, communicates right away, and sends several daily updates so we never have to worry. It puts our minds completely at ease when we are missing our pup. Thank you, Holly, for being an awesome dog sitter!”

About: I’ve always been comfortable caring for cats and understanding their different personalities and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check in on, and care for their cats while they were away. I know how important patience, cleanliness, and a calm environment are for cats, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Jessica took amazing care of my senior cat who is very high maintenance with his feeding needs, sleep habits, medication, and his propensity to vomit and pee on things ;) She is a pro!! Communicative, responsible, honest, and so caring! She took excellent care of my home and my cat! I’d book her again and again!!”
“Barb did a wonderful job looking after my cat Stella! She sent so many cute pictures and provided a detailed recap for each visit, which made me feel at ease while traveling.”
“We love having Monica care for our cats when we travel, she truly treats them as her own. We are able to travel with peace of mind knowing she is dropping in to check on them ☺️”
“Brittany is a wonderful pet sitter! She took excellent care of my cats while I was out of town. Very attentive to them and great communication with me! I highly recommend her.”
About: My dog is very small so loves cats since they’re close to her size so we are always happy to sit for homes with a mix of pets. Shes very gentle with them and mostly just likes to watch them but also enjoys cuddling with them if they come to her.
“Denise watched Owen after a long weekend and provided photo and videos during the visit and Owen was chatty and well-taken care of when I got home! I’d recommend Denise to take care of your pets!”
“Ashley is a great cat sitter. She completes all tasks around our house effectively and per our directions. We have a special snowflake kitty who takes a lot of medications and Ashley has no problem administering pills and liquid medications. She is our go-to sitter and we would recommend her to everyone!”
“Vanessa was great! My cat tends to be skittish and kind of unwelcoming but he seemed to take to her super well. Appreciate all the extra effort playing and spending time with him.”
“María is amazing!! Not only does my cat love her but she takes amazing care of my home. There was a heavy rainstorm while I was away and she noticed the litter box and mats around the box were soaking. She changed the litter, took care of the mats, and tidied up. She is observant, takes initiative but checks if that’s what I want her to do. I cannot praise her enough!”
About: I used to have a roommate that had a cat, and have family and friends that have cats. I am not as experienced with cats as I am with dogs, but I also know that usually they take care of themselves, regarding needing their space and food, though each cat has their own needs! I am flexible and responsible in helping out your needs.
“Thank you Rachel for taking care of pumpkin while I was away! Rachael provided plenty of pictures, a sweet little recap of their visit and tons of enrichment for my boy. I hate having to leave my animals when I travel but feel so much better knowing they’re being watched after by someone who truly cares for them like their own, and that is Rachel. 100% recommend”
“Kalista was a great sitter for our cat, Monkey! It seemed like she gave him lots of love and attention, and even brought a feather wand toy for him to play with. She was timely with her visits, and was thorough with his feeding and medicine routines. As the owner of an aging cat with some health issues, I really appreciate her care and attention to detail. I definitely recommend Kalista!”
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.
“Madelyn is AMAZING! Not only was she able to take in my Lola love last minute when I needed someone the most I genuinely couldn’t ask for anyone better to watch my girl! She made the process SO easy! Her communication is BEYOND great! The update photos had me bragging to my coworkers throughout the day about the great hands my girl was in while i was away! For my first Rover experience she is the PERFECT example of how the process should go and feel. SPONSOR her! 🥹😭 thank you again Madelyn you’re awesome at what you do and such a beautiful spirit overall! We will definitely be booking again!!”
“Armando is awesome! From the time we made contact, communication was great. My cat, Buddy, really enjoyed his time, and we are very grateful for Armando's commitment to Buddy's health and to the safety of our home. The first couple of days Buddy wasn't feeling well -- Armando and I reviewed the symptoms, made adjustments to food and medication, and within 24 hours we had turned a good corner! I got photos, activity reports, and we had a few phone calls at my request to make sure Armando had what he needed to keep my spoiled kitty happy :-). Thank You Armando!”
About: I have a balanced approach to cat care that combines careful attention to your instructions with an understanding that every cat has its own personality and routine. I don’t try to change your cat’s habits or become a replacement pet parent. Instead, I provide dependable care, maintain consistency, and engage with each cat in ways that match their comfort level, whether that’s interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply respecting their independence. I’m attentive to behavior changes, maintain clean litter boxes and feeding areas, and prioritize a calm, low-stress environment while you’re away. I am not a fit for cats with the following behaviors: Velcro or high physical touch/contact/proximity Display aggressive behaviors such as hissing, scratching, lunging, and biting Demand constant attention, food, play throughout the day Struggle with being alone for periods of time I do best with cats who are comfortable with a sitter providing attentive care while also respecting their independence and individual routine.

“What more could you ask for! Thank you for being so welcoming and making us feel comfortable for our first rover experience. Very caring and communicative. Boba had a great time 😀”
“Amazing! Worked with me in a pinch and kept her overnight last minute for me. Sent me updates and pictures of honey. She did well with the other dog she was keeping too. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog (does not live with me). I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!
“Lisa is so fantastic. She took the best care of my little girl and made sure she was comfortable and confident. You can immediately tell she's a dog lover and understands their little personalities and needs. She was so easy to communicate with, extremely flexible with drop off and pick ups, and sent the most adorable photos. Thank you so much, Lisa!”
“Lara was absolutely the best at taking care of our pup Perseus. He got along well with her, she knew how to make him comfortable in a new place, and she sent pictures and videos during the day care.”
“Hernan was the best! He was able to take my dogs within an hour of booking with him! He took such good care of them, they even got bandanas from a dog event he took them to! He was so kind and seems like he has a great setup for them in his apartment with a great patio!!! Will definitely be using him again! Thank you!”
“I really appreciated Zaira communicating and sending pictures and videos after dropping my pup off for her first daycare visit with her. Penelope came home pooped from all the playtime! Success!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”
“Ashley was great & even let our dog have siesta time in her dog's bed without an issue. She kept us abreast by photos and kept company with her the whole time. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”
About: 👋 Hi, we’re Brian and Bea! We’ve had dogs all our lives and have been primary doggie caretakers since we were kids. We both work from home, so your dog gets company, potty breaks, praises and attention all day! 🐕 We live with Amaru, our AKC Canine Good Citizen-certified Shiba Inu. If you know Shibas, you know they're independent, picky about food, and selectively deaf when it suits them. Living with one has made us patient with dogs who are slow to warm up or particular about their routine. Amaru is also very social, so your pups get a playmate and nap buddy as well! ❤️ We believe the bond between people and dogs is one of the sweetest things in life. Their time with us is never long enough, so we want to help them enjoy every bit of it and give them the same unconditional love they give us. ✍️ We'll follow your feeding, medication, and walk schedule exactly as written, keep your house rules, and send photo updates. We treat every dog here the way we treat ours: like our baby ♥️🫶 👫 We’re a work-from-home couple with a social Shiba, so pet care naturally fits into our daily routine. We’re available for doggy daycare visits on weekdays and Saturdays after 9am. Our workday breaks already revolve around Amaru (a quick walk, a game of fetch, or a few minutes of trick practice) and your dog would easily fit into that same rhythm. Evenings are dedicated to dog time, with plenty of walks, play, training, and couch cuddles. We’re also happy to follow your dog’s usual schedule for meals, walks, medications, and bedtime whenever possible. Our goal is to keep their routine familiar and comfortable, so they feel right at home while they’re with us. 🏡 We live in a spacious apartment with a big private rooftop deck, and Petco Park is just about a block away for walks. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in every room of our home, so they can settle in wherever they’re most comfortable. 🐶 We like to start with a meet-and-greet so both you and your dog can feel comfortable before the stay begins. Amaru is very social and has never shown aggression toward a dog or person. He’s also famously picky about food (😩) so visiting dogs don’t have to worry about him being possessive over food. That said, we still feed dogs separately as a standard precaution and never leave visiting dogs unsupervised together. 📸 Our camera roll is already full of Amaru photos, so sending you regular pictures and updates of your dog throughout the day comes naturally. 🚨We’ll also collect your vet’s information and an emergency contact before the stay, and we’ll reach out right away if we notice anything unusual. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first☝🏻!
“We absolutely loved Vanessa! ❤️ This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I did because it led us to her. She was so sweet, kind, and loving with Mana from the moment we met her. She kept me updated the entire time and sent me so many adorable pictures and videos. As a first-time Rover user, those updates meant so much and gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and being well taken care of. Vanessa was amazing, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She took such great care of our little guy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”

“Natalie was Awesome! Her Fiancée Joe was super Awesome too! They are so kind and loving! Their home is lovely, clean, safe and cozy. She kept us posted with picture updates of our little son and gave our baby so much love! We give her and Joe 10 stars! Thank you both so much for all the love and caring to our little guy! We look forward to our next work trip to San Diego, Benz would love to hang out with you guys again! We 100% recommend you to all parents that are looking for caring and loving babysitters for their furry babies! See you soon!! :-D”
“Our dogs had the best time at Joseph and Chris’ home. We were in town just for the weekend and Joseph and Chris were very accommodating in hosting our pups while we went to the zoo. Communication leading up to the visit, and during their stay was phenomenal. Once we picked up our dogs, they fell asleep immediately, which is always a sign of a good time!”
“I really appreciate Yantian’s help. He’s so careful and kind. He took great care for my doggie and helped us a lot for the busy days. 10000% recommended if you need help with day care for you dogs. I’ll give more than 5 stars for him.”
“Loved Maria! She was the best with our very energetic pup! Her house was the best fit for Dexter and he had so much fun with Rumpy! She was very communicative and friendly with baby! She was also very thorough since the first message with how we wanted our Dexter Boy to be taken cared of! All the instruction were followed to a T and I could not be more happier with her! Definitely will be booking in the future especially because our baby was just so happy coming from her house!”
“Our dog goes to Alexis once a week for daycare and she has a great time. Alexis is super sweet, easy to communicate with, dependable, and very responsible. Highly recommend!”
“Alexandra was fantastic!! Great care taker, super responsive, very flexible on time (she accepted the job even tho i gave zero advance notice!). Plus she sent us pics of our dog proactively. Thanks Alexandra!!”
About: My dedication, love for animals, and hands-on experience as a volunteer vet tech set me apart, ensuring your pets receive the best care and attention. Working three days a week and missing my dogs at home, I’d love to take care of other pets, offering them the love and attention they deserve.

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 6 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 9 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.

“Sonya was so incredibly helpful and communicative. She did a meet & greet with me and sent some sweet pics. Really appreciate her and would absolutely book again.”
About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior pups who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic puppy training, including potty and crate routines, leash manners, and basic commands, and I’m happy to follow whatever training methods you use at home. I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs and understand the importance of adjusting walks, playtime, and daily routines to their individual mobility, energy level, and needs. I’m experienced in caring for multiple pets at once and managing different personalities, feeding schedules, walks, and routines. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else; they’re part of the family and I’ll always treat them with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’m currently training and teaching jiu jitsu classes which allows me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. Im able to build my schedule around your pets specific needs or energy levels and love going for little adventures to the park, beach, or where ever your pets favorite spot is! I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m clean, tidy, and mindful of your space while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their normal routine. For overnight or multi-night stays, my dog Lola does need to accompany me. She is a sweet, senior Rat Terrier who is accustomed to being around other pets. I typically provide daily photos and updates but am happy to provide whatever makes you comfortable in knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Very grateful for Monica, she took such amazing care of Violet and gave Gunther so much love and attention which I appreciate so much. Violet went on long walks and also started her heat cycle in the last few days of our trip, which Monica handled perfectly! Would definitely book her again and recommend her to care for your babies❤️❤️”
“Zaira is absolutely wonderful! Always reachable and communicative, and flexible when needed/possible. My dog loves her and she takes great care of him so I am never worried about him. Highly recommend :)”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’m attentive, reliable, patient, and comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. As a cat owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and plenty of attention. I’m already a pet owner myself, so caring for animals is a normal and important part of my everyday life. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines and household guidelines closely, keep their space secure, and give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned and cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. I’ve had several rescue dogs over the years and understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have years of experience walking dogs, caring for pets while their people are away, and have even traveled across the country with dogs—so I’m very comfortable adapting to different environments and situations. I’m a mature, dependable and nurturing caregiver who understands how important it is to trust the person caring for a member of your family. My professional background also includes working as a certified Home Care Aide, which requires a criminal background check, and I’m a college graduate. I’m responsible, communicative, attentive to instructions, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine one-on-one attention. I believe pet care should be more than simply stopping by to feed or walk them. I’ll spend quality time playing, exercising, interacting, giving treats (with your permission!), and providing plenty of love and cuddles. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, calm, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort and normal routine will always come first. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, treats and household routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will spend meaningful time with your pet rather than rushing through a visit. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, getting plenty of attention, and being genuinely cared for in their own home.
About: Hi, I'm Tennille, a caring and compassionate dog lover. I will treat your dog like it is my own. I live one block from Golden Hill Park. I'm available for walks or a play in the park. Unlimited cuddles available. I’m reliable, responsible and easy going. I don’t mind dogs on the furniture. I don’t currently have a dog of my own so I can give all my attention to your pet(s). I live in apartment with a small patio which dogs love to sunbathe on. I am also open to coming to your house/apartment if you or your pet feel more comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I work from home so I can dog sit during the day. I live near two parks, Golden Hill park is a couple blocks. Also, close is South Park with the backside of Balboa Park and the Grape Street dog park. I have a flexible schedule where I can take walks as needed. As far as the weekends, I spend my time with dog-loving people and so a lot of the time we only go places that welcome dogs. We are so lucky to live in San Diego and have such great weather to enjoy patios. I treat all pets like they are my own. I would respect the owner's instructions for care. I would also respect any home I’m in like it is my own.
About: Hi! I’m Madelyn 😊 I’m a reliable, loving sitter based in Golden Hill! While I don’t have a backyard, I do have a secure, gated balcony where your pup can safely relax, sunbathe, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day ☀️ I also live in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood with nearby parks and dog parks for pups who are dog-friendly and enjoy getting out and exploring. Your dog will get lots of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. I love incorporating walks, playtime, and calm, cozy downtime so they feel safe and at home. Outside of pet care, I’m a therapist — which means I’m naturally attentive, patient, and nurturing. I genuinely love coming home to dogs and creating a peaceful, loving environment for them while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic or more calm I’ll make sure they feel comfortable! I DO NOT HAVE ANY PETS OR CHILDREN IN THE HOME 😊 I don’t work Saturday-Monday. During the week my husband helps with afternoon walks and care since he works from home 😊 We treat your pet like ours! I have a balcony where your dog can be outside and it will be gated for them. I will treat your pet like my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We’ve had everything from a maltipoo to a 100+ lb German shepherd so my variety in dogs is large. I would be happy to take your dog on walks, dogsit on vacation at your place or mine, and check in for potty breaks. I currently work part time and have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. I’m available most days and evenings except tues/thurs and Saturday during the day. My Saturday shifts are typically no longer than 8 hours. I live in an apartment with no yard so dog sitting would most likely be best in the comfort of your home unless that’s not what your dog needs. I’m happy to sit at my apartment as we can go on walks or play at the local part for grass time.
“One of our dogs is very wary of new people and takes a long time to warm up to them. Not with Kali. She met him once before we left on vacation. Her first walk it took him 2 blocks to chill out. After that he was so stoked to see her and leave the house with her. Dogs came back so happy and fully exercised. Highly recommend. Will 100% use her again.”
About: Hi, my name is Annie. I am a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors going on 10 years now. I also have experience working as a manager at a dog rescue, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and those with traumatic backgrounds. I value the relationship between people and animals greatly and am committed to giving your pet the same love and care I give my own. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I take care of my sweet girl, Jubilee, as well as 4 cats. This means feeding everyone in the morning and evening, and walking Miss Jubilee. A dog beach is her fave place to be. Oh and can’t forget the litter box! I care for my clients’ pets just as I would my own. Learning their personalities and behavioral queues is always a joy for me that makes mundane daily routines the best part of my day. Bathroom breaks, breakfast & dinner, medications, walks/runs, quality cuddle and play time, I’ve got it all covered. Adhering to your pets normal routine while your away is important to ease any anxiety they may feel while separated from their people.
About: Located in Sherman Heights near East Village and Golden Hill, perfect for long walks and fresh air. I recently lost my 8-year-old lab/pitty mix and am hoping to continue engaging with dogs while dealing with the loss. I have also fostered rescue dogs, am experienced with highly energetic dogs, and injured or disabled dogs. I've always loved animals and thought this would be a fantastic way to earn additional money and do something I love. Eager to provide a place of love and attention for dogs temporarily separated from their owners. It's stressful enough to be away from your pet without worrying if a kennel will provide them enough attention and engagement. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I work from home full time so can give your dog all the love and attention they need. My schedule is pretty flexible and I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible. I prefer to take dogs out at least twice daily for walks, including one longer scent walk where we let their nose lead the way. I live close to downtown San Diego and can easily walk to East Village or Gaslamp which is are extremely dog friendly areas. I have a small fenced-in yard and can easily crate your dog if necessary. I have experience administering oral medications if necessary and always keep a well stocked pet first aid kit in my home and car. If caring for your pet in your home, I can adapt easily to their routine and will meet your pet at their comfort level.
“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”
“Finding a dog walker while I worked night shift over the holidays seemed almost impossible but Lisa came to the rescue and I am so thankful!! She sent lots of pictures and updates from her walks with my pup and I felt very confident in her caring for him. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I know Winston is looking forward to more walks with her in the future!”
About: Hi there, I’m Hannah! I grew up with dogs and have 10+ years of dog sitting experience. I also have 3 years of dog training experience and working in a doggy day care. I have worked with all kinds of dogs and their varying personalities & needs. My own dog is anxious by nature, so I am well-versed in helping dogs feel supported and safe in more overwhelming environments. I work from home and create my own hours, which offers a lot of flexibility for dog walking. Caring for dogs is second nature to me, and walking them is one of my favorite hobbies! I am a firm believer that dogs are our companions, unique living beings, and deserve to be treated as such. Based on my dog training experience, I have learned how important it is to create a safe and supportive environment for dogs rather than forcing them to fit into an unsupportive one.
About: I have 15 years of caring for pets of my own and well over 10 years of sitting for neighbors and friends pets. I have experience with dogs (of all sizes), cats, and pocket pets of all ages. I even have experience caring for elderly pets and those that require medication. Education background in animal care (Bachelor's in Animal Science and Associate’s in Animal Care and Training). I work part-time for San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. I usually work early mornings and late evening shifts a few days a week. I have a flexible schedule and readily available most mid-days. Through my personal experience and education background I understand how to handle animals safely and confidently. While also ensuring your pets comfort. I understand leash safety and feel comfortable walking dogs of various sizes.
About: Hi pet parents! I'm Rowan 🙂 My partner, Kendall, and I, along with our 4-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, Goose, would love to host your pup in our home oasis! Just steps from Balboa Park, our large house with a huge fenced yard is the perfect spot for dogs to relax, get outside, and soak up the San Diego sun. Kendall and I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and on Rover for 6+ years, and we genuinely love spending time with new dogs. Kendall is also an avid dog trainer, having trained a service dog and working with many friends' and family's dogs too, so your pup will be in experienced, capable hands. Goose is great with all other dogs—she loves to play but also knows when it's time to settle down and relax. She's spent a lot of time around elderly dogs, so she's especially comfortable with a range of ages and energy levels. I am a freelance sports journalist, so you can often find me at home getting some writing done on the couch with Goose curled up by my side! Your pup will get lots of cuddles, company, and attention with me. As high-energy dog owners, we are super active and are always out walking around the neighborhood, so your dog's energy needs—whatever they are—will be taken care of! We would absolutely love to care for your pup as we care for ours! I work from home a majority of the time and when I'm working out of the house, my partner is usually home. We are never out of the house for longer than five hours, but can make always accommodations if a dog we are caring for needs more frequent potty breaks. We always fit two 45-minute dog walks into our daily schedules regardless of whatever we have going on! I will always take the best care of both your pet and your house! I know that accidents with pets are inevitable sometimes, so I will help with clean up or tidying up if needed.
“Triston was a life-saver while I was recovering from a broken leg! Always on time and took great care of our dog. Maisie loves her and will miss their walks together. Thank you again Tristen:)”

“Joe took great care of my dog, Shamrock! He has a sweet dog named Callie. Callie and Shamrock became fast friends. Joe’s home is lovely and offers a secure yard for the pups to play. I highly recommend boarding your pup with Joe and Callie.”
About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!
“Chris and Shane were great to work with an d tok great care of our Dolly . Dolly loved staying with them . We will definitely be having her stay with them again . Thank you both very much”
“highly recommend Zaira for your next trip! She is a very caring dog owner and sent lots of updates while watching Murphy and was very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Her dog Malik is very sweet!”
“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.”
“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 second time trusting Holly with our furbaby! She is always on time, communicates right away, and sends several daily updates so we never have to worry. It puts our minds completely at ease when we are missing our pup. Thank you, Holly, for being an awesome dog sitter!”
“Monique was such a good sitter for our dog. She updated us daily and sent lots of pictures! She took really good care of our dog who has bad anxiety. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Kaitlin and her husband were great! They were flexible and gave me regular updates on how my pup was doing during his weeklong stay. Plus, their place looked well-equipped for dog-sitting with plenty of water, outdoor space, a doggy-door, and beds. Thank you!”
“Cerita went above and beyond the call of duty when caring for blue. She fed him snacks and made sure he was comfortable. I would definitely use her services again. Thanks Cerita.”
“It was our first time ever having our dogs stay at someone’s home vs going to a boarding facility. Jennifer and Donald were awesome with our 2 Weimaraners, who can be demanding and a handful. We got photos and sometimes videos on a daily basis, which helped put our minds at ease during our vacation over Thanksgiving. We could see that our dogs were getting great walks, being properly fed and in a loving environment. Jennifer and Donald were also very accommodating when our drop off time had to move up an hour early in the morning. All in all, we highly recommend them.”
“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.”
“Claudia is amazing! She is very thoughtful, considerate, and detail-oriented when it comes to dog sitting/boarding. My senior pups loved her. Highly recommended!”
“Kylie and Anthony took amazing care of our Adonis! They met his needs and were super accommodating to us as we had unexpected travel delays. Will definitely use their services again. I felt so comfortable leaving our pup in their care. He was taken care of like their own family.”
“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!”
