About: I’ve had a dog since I was 10 years old and love them so much. Our current dog, Maggie, was a foster fail whom I love dearly. I have experience fostering dogs and doing basic training. Our dog is very friendly with others. I love to go for long walks with the dogs, play fetch at the various parks nearby and give lots of cuddles at the end of the day. Sean and I work hybrid jobs, where we love to watch/walk dogs on our work from home days. We typically take our dog Maggie out 2-3 times a day for walks that vary from 15-45 minutes at a time. We can adjust to your dog’s schedule needs when we are home. We live in a home in the BayHo neighborhood with a fenced backyard and a dog park within walking distance. We allow our dog Maggie on furniture (the couch) and she sleeps in her dog bed. I am available to adjust based upon the needs of your dog. My dog Maggie is a rescue that we presume is a beagle/ terrier mix. She is very calm and gets along very well with other dogs.
“Kimberly was fantastic! She house sat for us last minute and bonded great with our dogs! She was an incredible sitter for us, we'd love to book her again and would highly recommend her to to anyone looking for a sitter in the San Diego neighborhood!”
“Yukiko was fantastic with our little guy, so friendly, gentle, and professional right from the beginning. My mind was at ease knowing that he would be well taken care of as she helped him to get acclimated to her home and her cute little dogs. Yukiko's regular updates and photos were so helpful too!”

“I’m so glad Yue was available again for my most recent vacation out of town. Yue is consistent, responsive, great attention to details, and took great care of my cats while I was away. I would highly recommend Yue.”
“Mari took great care of my cat when I was away. She’s very responsive, good attention to details and follows instructions, and my cat seems to enjoy her company a lot. Would book with her again!”
“Janet did an amazing job taking care of my cat Theo! She is everything you would want in a cat sitter: responsible, communicative, and experienced. Even though my cat can be a little unpredictable, Janet handled everything like a pro and I never once worried about my cat when I was gone. Thanks Janet!”
“Nick was great with Luna. Luna can be fussy with new people, but she took to him very easily! He was reliable and sent frequent photo updates. Will definitely seek him out again!”
“Rose was excellent! She was friendly and communicative when checking in on our cats, and she went above and beyond by cleaning up a hairball and vacuuming up some litter. She gave great check-in notes and took some very funny pictures that we really appreciated. We could tell she really cared!”
“Ella is so sweet and my boys seem to like her already. They are sometimes difficult cats so I appreciate her willingness to accept this task of being their cat sitter/friend.”
“Lud was fabulous with my cat Neo. She came over first to get to know him which I thought was great and did not happen with my last sitter. This was over the holidays and we had just had a ton of snow. In addition to carrying for Neo she handled some snowmelt flooding in the basement and made sure Neo steered clear of it. I also got tons of fun pictures! Will definitely use Lud again!”
“Sara was AMAZING! I left my two very clingy kitties for the holidays and Sara took great care of them and kept them company. I came home and they're happy as can be. :) THANK YOU!”
About: Hi! I’m Theresa, a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cozy couch snuggles, I’m here to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’m great with all temperaments and happy to provide frequent photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. I have a 3 day weekend every week and would love to fill the time helping with whatever it is your pet may want or need I am respectful and caring. If there are certain needs your pet needs I am willing to accommodate. I am in a pet friendly home and have a large field in my neighborhood that allows for pets to run around.
“Yating provided daily updates and was great with my cat, who was shy at first and then immediately was her true self: very affectionate and needing of a lot of human attention/interaction. I was gone for 9 days and Paloma seemed happy as ever when I got her back. I have boarded her a facility before and was dismayed by how depressed she seemed when I picked her up, even after short stays. I’ll definitely be boarding her with a sitter from now on! She’s so much happier.”
“We are so happy to have gone with Ava, she did a great job and was very communicative. With each visit we were so glad to have her. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Thank you, Elise for taking such good care of my cat and home. You made it possible for me to be able to focus on assisting my mom in her recovery and not have to worry about my baby.”
“Absolutely fantastic! Helped take care of all of our many reptiles and two month old kitty, and was responsive and went above and beyond in helping monitor and overseeing their care. Could not recommend her enough!”
“Joy did a fantastic job watching our cat. I can tell that Joy took good care of her - my cat has been meowing for more pets and playtime than we did before, so I know she was getting well-loved by Joy's visits! Our kitty is now expecting the best. :) I will be looking for Joy if we ever need a trustworthy cat sitter again.”

About: I have worked at Camp Run a Mutt and DogZenergy, where I gained experience in handling dogs of all breeds and temperaments! Recognizing that every dog or cat is unique, I strive to provide personalized care that meets their individual needs. Whether it's a high-energy pup or a reactive/fearful rescue, I tailor my approach to ensure their comfort and well-being. Special skills include: administering medications, specialized care for senior or disabled pets, and dealing with anxious/fearful behavior. I have a flexible work schedule during the week. I can fit in walks throughout the day and am happy to do pet check-ins ! I am available for pet sitting and can easily tailor my schedule around your pet's needs. I have a rescue pup that is friendly with most dogs as well.
About: I don’t have pets of my own, but I have lived in several places with dogs or cats where I take on some caretaking responsibilities with the owner. Me and my partner are work from home and as homebodies we tend to stay in most nights, so we will always be available to watch/hang out with your fur babies! We have an open space with doors to block off certain areas as needed so we can always keep an eye on your dog or cat. We love to keep our place clean as well.
About: I've taken care of family dogs and I've volunteered at the rescue shelter "A way home for dogs" in San Diego. The volunteering mostly involves watching and restraining dogs as we got them acclimated to crowds of people. Currently free for the summer, so I'll have plenty of time to care for pets. I have no significant other commitments throughout the week. No children or other pets in my apartment. I'll dog walk and play with them. I live in a apartment complex with a friendly pet policy.
“We were visiting San Diego from out of state and needed doggie daycare while we went to a few places where we couldn’t bring our dog. Erion took wonderful care of Beebe. Their home has a backyard with easy access for dogs to run around and go potty, and their beagle was very sweet and gentle with our 11-pound dog. We especially appreciated the care and attention Erion gave Beebe, who has separation anxiety and can be a picky eater. Each day, they communicated with us about how he was doing and sent pictures and updates, which helped us feel very comfortable leaving him there. We also appreciated their kindness and flexibility with our varying drop-off and pick-up times. We had a great experience and would happily book with them again when we have a chance to visit San Diego in the future. We highly recommend Erion and Iris!”
About: I have owned three dogs, in which two are yorkies and one is a miniature schnauzer, in the past four years and have taken great care of them. I have been sitting dogs through Rover for over a year now. I currently study at UC San Diego, and I have plenty of time to play, go on walks and provide care for your furry friends. Your furry friend will be kept in a spacious room where I stay as well, they won’t be caged, but not allowed on the bed.
About: Hey there! I’m Brandon, and to put it simply: I absolutely adore animals. My main goal when hanging out with your pet isn't just to check boxes like feeding and walking—I really want to form a genuine bond with them! There is seriously nothing better than seeing an animal happy, playful, and completely comfortable around me. I’ve dog-sat for my neighbors' pets tons of times, so I'm super used to keeping track of feeding schedules, handling playtime, and making sure everyone stays safe and happy .I’m totally unfazed by the messy side of things. If a pup wants to chill on the couch and slobber all over me, I am 100% fine with that. I am currently working at Abercrombie & Fitch part time but can easily reschedule my shifts to accommodate for your pet as long as I have 3 day notice. I have balls and toys for your dog to play with as well as cleaning supplies just in case an accident may occur. I am very response to any calls or texts I may receive in regards to your pet.
“Shawna took amazing care of my 18-month-old Frenchie! From the moment we arrived for drop-off, she was warm, kind, professional, and ready to jump right in. I had never left my dog with a stranger before—especially someone I met online—so I was definitely hesitant. But after just one experience with Shawna, I can honestly say I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Throughout the day, she sent plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It honestly looked like my pup was having the time of his life! I think he may have had more fun with Shawna than he did on our long car ride home. We were visiting the area for my daughter's birthday and staying at a pet-friendly hotel, but we didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone all day. Booking with Shawna ended up being one of the best decisions we made during our trip. She also has a friendly dog of her own and thoughtfully introduced them. They spent the day walking, sunbathing, playing, and cuddling, and it was obvious my Frenchie felt safe, happy, and loved. If you're on the fence about using Rover or booking with Shawna, don't be. She exceeded every expectation, and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, Shawna, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! - The Hill Family”
“Stephen and his girlfriend were incredibly accommodating—especially on short notice. Chewy always came home happy and tired, and it was clear he loved spending time with them. They were communicative and caring, even letting me know when he had an upset stomach and making sure he was well taken care of. I’d definitely use them again if I’m in the area. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia is amazing. Always send pictures and videos. She is so incredibly nice and accommodating. My gf’s water broke slightly early and our original plan of having her sister watch her fell through . I found olivia, messaged her and within 20 minutess I was dropping her off. Absolute lifesaver.”
“I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!”
“Natalyia was great. There was very good communication and lots of updates and pics. She asked if I wanted to do a meet-and-greet before the actual daycare date, and I think it helped Chewy to meet her sweet pup Teddy ahead of time. I will definitely call on Natalyia in the future for dog sitting.”
“She’s so sweet! Quick responder, especially with a last minute booking. Kora & Tiger enjoyed their daycare stay with her. Communicative & sent pics! Will rebook again when we need another sitter. :)”

“Chaminie took really excellent care of our Spikey boy. She gave timely updates after their walks and always played with him at home. I would 100% recommend her to a friend and will def book her again!”
“Celine has been so great and especially when having to book last minute she seems to always be able to fit us in. My dog is bigger and she does great with him. She’s super reliable and would 100% recommend her.”
“Sara was great with Brownie! She took great care of him and was very communicative. She also sent great pictures each visit. We were very happy with everything and will definitely book with her again!”
“Jim was wonderful with our dog Auggie. He responded immediately and was very reliable and kind. He sent wonderful photos and I highly recommend Jim as a dog walker. We will continue to use Jim’s services from this point on into the future.”
“Bebo was an excellent walker for our dog Spike! Very easy to communicate with and left thoughtful and descriptive summaries of the visits. Felt very much like our pup was in capable hands and we would definitely recommend!”
“It was our first time on Rover and Luciana was so kind enough to meet with our pup a couple of days before. We were worried about our pup having separation anxiety because we were going back to the office 4 days a week now.Shadow enjoyed the visits and was very glad to see her for his walks. Luciana made us feel comfortable and communicated well and promptly. We will definitely be booking Luciana for as long as she is available 🙂”
About: I offer a unique blend of scientific precision and deep compassion for your pets. For two years, I fostered shy and anxious dogs for the Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC). Getting accepted into their program required passing a rigorous vetting process, including interviews, home visits, and specialized training. Through HWAC, I gained extensive experience caring for rescues with complex medical and behavioral needs, including parasites, severe dental issues, and anxiety. I also provided essential behavior and obedience training to help these dogs thrive. Before fostering dogs, I was the proud owner of a diabetic cat for five years. I am completely comfortable with advanced medical care, including tracking blood glucose with a glucometer, administering subcutaneous insulin injections twice daily, and giving oral medications. My background as a scientist allows me to communicate clearly and effectively with veterinarians and clinic staff, ensuring your pet's medical instructions are followed perfectly. Because I currently have no pets of my own and am taking a hiatus from work, I have total availability. I look forward to devoting 100% of my time, skills, and love to your companion here in the San Diego area! 24/7 Flexible Availability (Evenings & Weekends Included) Because I am currently on a professional hiatus, your pet becomes my primary focus. I have complete schedule flexibility to accommodate your exact routine, including early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and holidays. Unlike sitters juggling a traditional 9-to-5, I am available for mid-day medical checks, precise feeding times, and extended companionship. Whether you need standard drop-ins or a dedicated presence to ease an anxious pet's separation anxiety, my open schedule allows me to be there whenever you or your pet need me most. Specialized In-Home Care for Your Pet's Comfort I provide premium, attentive care exclusively inside your pet's own home, where they already feel safest and most comfortable. Because I live in a yard-free condominium, I choose not to offer boarding. Instead, I bring my extensive medical and behavioral experience directly to your doorstep. This setup ensures your pet’s routine remains completely uninterrupted, eliminating the stress of a new environment. Whether your cat requires precise, timely insulin injections or your dog needs a patient, structured potty schedule, I adapt entirely to your home's setup. Your pet gets 100% of my focus in the environment they love best, giving you total peace of mind while you are away.
“Here’s a polished review tailored for Rover: ⸻ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jennifer has been absolutely wonderful with our Bulldog and American Bully! She is always punctual, incredibly flexible with our schedule, and most importantly, truly loving toward our pups. You can tell she genuinely cares about them and treats them like her own. Our dogs adore her, and we have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker on Rover! 🐾”
About: I have lived with furry friends my whole life, lending me years of firsthand experiences dealing with dog and cat ownership from little babies to senior animals and I am familiar with the special care needs that come with different age groups. In addition to dog and cat sitting for family I have several years of experience on Rover providing walking and house sitting care. Every animal has such a vibrant and unique personality and I can't wait to meet yours!
About: I have multiple years of experience caring for pets in the area and I am formally trained in animal nursing. I focus on enrichment, exercise, and keeping your pets healthy and well-loved (plus cute photos!). I’m between school semesters and I would love to meet all of your pets in my downtime! I have regular availability and am able to plan my day around you. I recognize the trust I am given when I enter someone’s home, and I always keep the space secure and clean of any pet-related messes. Part of my routine if the client is away is sending a picture including the locked door and house number.
About: I have grown up with pets in my family and have responsibly cared for dogs and rabbits. I am responsive and take commitments seriously. I think I would be an excellent pet sitter. I currently work part time at UTC, and attend UCSD as a full time student. I am available in the mornings/evenings as well as weekends. I am very flexible. I will be very respectful of the clients house should I find myself staying there with the dog. I am unable to house since I reside in an on campus apartment.
About: I am here to help with your pet needs. I love dogs and cats and will help you care for them with your busy schedule. Available last minute to walk or check in on your fur baby. I am a stay-at-home Mom and my son does school online, so I am very flexible with our schedules. I can help out day-of or any time that works for you. I am happy to care for your dog or cat in your home. I can play with them, take them on walks and play. Lots of cuddles and attention depending on their needs.
“Sara was so great with the two pups, which each needed their own, special attention. She was very communicative and easy to coordinate / work with. 10/10 recommend.”
“Jenna was amazing! Took the time to warm up to my dog, was very flexible and accommodating, took him on a very long walk, and was so great at communicating the whole time- would highly recommend!!”
About: I am a work from home graphic designer who has a lot of free time and a flexible schedule, as well as a love for dogs and a tabby cat named Claire. I grew up with goldens and australian doodles and have fostered over 40 cats! I would love to spend my free time in a productive way. I work from home and a make my own hours since I am self-employed, so I realistically can come whenever you need! Every hour or 2, or once a day, whatever you need I more than likely can do. My cat is my absolute world and I have lived in busy areas and wooded areas, so I am naturally a very attentive pet mom and will be with your fur babies as well. My house is always extremely clean and I would spend every last penny to make sure Claire (my tabby cat) has the best, most comfortable life possible.

“Amazing babysitter! They took care of our senior shih tzu and he was so well taken care of! They were very responsive throughout our whole trip and sent photos daily.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Friends. Family. My own. I recently just lost my fur baby who I loved so much. I am very loving and trust worthy. I love going on doggie walks. I am currently unemployed, so have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I like to do my workouts in the morning, so am available after. I have a fenced yard with lots of areas to explore. I love to go for walks either around my neighborhood or on the bay.
“Very happy with our experience. Our dog had a great time with Ryan's family. Ryan was easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating when our travel plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute and we had to extend the boarding for a few days.”
“Celine took great care of Archie; she communicated very well and provided lots of photos/videos. She gave him plenty of exercise and Archie got along great with her dog Rocket from what I could tell!”

The home was calm for him and he seemed completely at ease there; would not have happened at home with multiple dogs. I am so thankful that Nanako was super flexible as he is an early riser and woke extra early on the morning of Daylight Savings time very early; she handled him so well making sure he got his food and medication when needed with many walks mixed in. Thank you so much, I would definitely book with them again!”
“Stephen and May were the best. I was gone for over 2 weeks, a long time away. Stephen sent timely reassuring photos, and text. Sweet Gracie, 11, was content and loved the cuddles. Teddy,14, got stronger with the daily outdoor routine. They were very patient with Teddy and understood he talks/barks to get attention, treat, or bed. Afterward he is done. I super appreciate their care. I hope to fit into their schedules again.”
“Caterina was amazing! We got so many photos of our pup playing and having a great time. She was very communicative and sent photos every day. She also took our dog out on fun adventures everyday which I know our dog loved. Would highly recommend and would book again!”
“Sandy is awesome took care both of my dogs while we were out of town until the next day, 100% totally recommended. We'll absolutely book again next time. Thank you very much Sandy,”
