Lola came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. We received updates and photos throughout, which gave us total peace of mind. We’ll absolutely be booking again and highly recommend!””
“Working with Lauryn was great! I loved having her watch my dog :) she was so friendly and sent us picture updates the entire length of our trip! She was also very easy to communicate with. She had no problem making extra time before I went away for her to meet my dog weeks prior. Very easy to work with! Will definitely be booking her again!”

“Barley had a great time at Clint’s house! Clint takes great care in the way he sets up his house for the dogs to stay over. He sent many video updates to let me know how Barley was doing. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”

“Yue took wonderful care of my cat while he stayed with her over Thanksgiving. I was initially nervous about leaving him at someone else’s home, but Yue completely put my mind at ease. She was incredibly patient and accommodating, followed all of my instructions, and truly exceeded my expectations. She also kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely trust Yue again.”

“Julia was incredible!!! Not only was she so flexible with my schedule and specific needs but she was so beyond kind and caring. She took such good care of my dog Louie. He's been so anxious and sick lately and despite him having an accident in her home, she still welcomed him back and even went so far as to text me days later checking in to make sure he was feeling better. There's nothing worse than leaving your baby when they're sick and Julia alleviated so much of that stress for me. Can't say enough good things about her!”

“Nanako & Dustin were wonderful with my 18 year old geriatric dog! I received many updates thru out the day that allowed me to rest easy that he was happy and relaxed in his temporary home. 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!”

“Julie was amazing! Our usually shy cats greeted her the first day as if they were old friends. She took great care of our boys, her communication was great, and she even did some light cleaning of our apartment, which we hadn’t asked for and she didn’t have to do! We booked Julie to watch our cats while we were in the process of moving across the country, but if we were still in San Diego we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you Julie!!”

“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.

“It was such a pleasure working with Yue! She is so sweet and warm, and she genuinely cares about Cloud, my cat. She is the sweetest catsitter you can find. The best!!! :) Also very professional and great communication.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my entire life! I’ve had 6 dogs of my own. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors' dogs at just 10 years old, and at 16, I started watching cats as well. I’d love to meet your pets and give them a home away from home :) I would love to spend all day with your pets. I work a part-time job where I will occasionally cover 4-hour shifts, but that’s the only time I’m away from the house. I would love to discuss what you love for your pets, whether it is car rides, walks, runs, etc. I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space. I’m ready for all the energy or no energy at all, and I’ll be sure to follow any specified requests on how I can make your pet's time away from you and/or home the best time!
“Lindsay is amazing! She did such a good job watching my two cats. She’s communicative, reliable, and clearly has a deep love for animals. I get kind of nervous leaving my kitties but Lindsay sent me lots of pictures which made me feel so much better. I will definitely be asking Lindsay to cat sit again :)”
“Melissa was amazing - went above and beyond when caring for our cat Toast and even helped with some deliveries arriving when we were out of town. Reliable, punctual and communicative the whole time! Will use again in the future!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was a baby, and they've always been a huge part of my life! Over the years, I've cared for 3 cats, 2 dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, so I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I love getting to know each one individually. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, giving medication, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I'm dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. Animals bring so much joy to our lives, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Your pet's safety is my top priority.
About: When I was little my family would breed Siamese cats, so we always had little kitties running around. Since day one I have adored cats. I'd fall asleep with them curled up beside me when I was little, and I still enjoy it to this day. Cats have a very special place in my heart.
About: I’ve been caring for cats & kittens for a majority of my life and truly love getting to know each cat’s personality and routine. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play, clean litter boxes, and give lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with shy or high-energy cats, administering basic medications, and keeping spaces clean and stress-free. I always provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your cat will be in patient, reliable, and caring hands.
“Kristina is so amazing with my Frenchie Gus! She’s super communicative about how the walk went, and always super quick to respond.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“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!”
“Yue was a great dog sitter. I’d definitely hire her again. She sent many still photos and videos of our dog throughout the day. It was easy to communicate with her. She answered promptly and was very accommodating to our schedule. She walked our dog before we picked her up, so our dog would be able to sit for the long car ride home and not need to be relieved immediately. Yue was friendly and responsive.”

“Thank you Kate! Our first time ever leaving our two dogs with anyone and couldn't have been any more pleased. Kate sent us updates and pictures and we had no worries while they were in her care. We will definitely rebook when we need a sitter. Highly recommend”
“Cali has such a great time with Jim. I can tell she really likes hanging out with him and he gives me updates in their outings. She is very happy with your routine visits. Thank you Jim!”
“It was super easy to book with him, he provided images and updates during the time of service. Was very responsive and flexible with our schedule! Would highly recommend him!”
About: Since I was young I have had my own dogs and cats and watched and walked my neighbors' pets as well. Back in July of 2022 I adopted my Labradoodle, Breck and he is the best boy! I now have the pleasure of basically having full time care of my boyfriend’s adorable Golden, Avery. They get along with all dogs, big and small, so they will make a great playmates for any of your furry friends! I currently work from home M-F. I am free during the day for drop ins and walks! I have pups of my own so I’ll already need to be out and about with them anyways :) I am able to feed and play with pets. Clean litter boxes for cats and walk the pups! And of course give them all lots of love and treats :)
“I wish I could give 6 stars. She was so sweet and accommodating. Took such good care of my doggie and was so nice to me as well. Her home is beautiful and dog friendly. Such an amazing person and dog sitter!”
About: I enjoy taking dogs on adventures (owner permitting) to the beach, trails or Fiesta Island while providing them space to run and explore. Having had three children and my own dog, I have learned to treat all dogs in my care as members of my family. Pet care has been a part of my life for the last three years. I have many clients (outside of this site) and lots of references. I care for my dogs like my children. I give them lots of love and attention. I like to have fun and in turn we all have fun.
“Charlie had a great time! He didn't want to leave. Thanks, Jelena! Allowing my family to head to the zoo for the day while Charlie played and had fun. We appreciated it very much!”
“Caterina did an amazing Job. First time Rover user and she went above and beyond to make sure not only I felt comfortable, but also my GS. Lots of walks and activity through out the day. Love that they took my girl to the beach. Would highly recommend Caterina for any and all dog sitting needs.

“Thank you, Diana!! I had an amazing experience with her. Diana is super nice person. She sent me some photos and updates throughout the day. My dog loves her so much. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since middle school. Although I have not owned any myself, my roommate has one who I care for frequently. My neighbors and friends have trusted me to pet sit for long weekends/weeks. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them until they wear out, and spoiling them with all of my attention. My siblings have both gotten cats since moving out. I have fallen in love with their unique personalities and their curiosity of the different cat toys I bring for them to play with. Since moving out myself, I have fostered three dogs. It is only a matter of time before I will have a dog of my own, so in the meantime I can devout my time to taking care of others’ dogs! I work until 2pm on weekdays. I am able to feed/walk pets for up to an hour during my work hours, and anytime after 2pm during the week. I am available full time on weekends. I am attentive to schedules for food and bathroom needs. I enjoy taking dogs on walks so the more the merrier! I also have a lot of energy that makes for a fun competition to see who gets tired first from playing. One foster dog I had was afraid of stairs; we were able to overcome that fear with a lot of patience and praise.
About: What sets me apart as an animal caretaker is how naturally connected I’ve always felt to animals. I’m really intuitive and heart-led with them, and I think growing up around all kinds of animals shaped who I am in a big way. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, praying mantises, and more, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. I genuinely love building trust with animals and making them feel safe, understood, and cared for. Pet caretaking fits really naturally into my daily routine because I already have a dog and structure a lot of my day around animal care, walks, attention, and consistency. I’m looking to fill my schedule out more, so adding additional caretaking responsibilities would be really easy to weave into my routine. I’m very flexible with hours and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so it feels less like work to me and more like something I naturally love doing. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I adapt my approach depending on the dog’s breed, personality, energy level, and training experience. I use different tools and techniques based on what each animal responds best to and what keeps them safest and most comfortable. The services I currently offer include walks and overnight care, and I always focus on creating a calm, reliable, and positive environment for the pets I’m caring for.

About: Life long dog owner until recently. I have experience fostering dogs of all ages. Experience with untrained puppies and older dogs that may need additional care.

“My Poppy loved her days with Kelsey and Armand! We came down for our annual vacation and wanted to find daycare for a few days. Kelsey and Armand took great care of her and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her. We will definitely use them again on our next trip down.”
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.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals. My family bred Siamese cats, and we always had dogs of all sizes in our home. In June 2025, I began house and pet sitting and quickly fell in love with it. Being able to spend time with animals again has been incredibly rewarding. Since then, I've cared for dogs both large and small, watched multiple pets at once, and administered medications when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease. I live a fairly routine lifestyle and enjoy spending lots of quality time with the pets in my care. I typically start my day early, which allows plenty of time for morning potty breaks, feeding, and attention before I head out to train clients for a few hours. I'm usually back home around midday and enjoy spending time with the animals I'm caring for. Depending on their energy level and owner's preferences, this may include walks, playtime, a run, or even a hike. I also work virtually at times, which allows me to be home throughout much of the day. In the evening, I'll follow your pet's normal feeding schedule and spend the rest of the night relaxing at home. Whether your pet enjoys cuddling on the couch, playing, or simply having someone nearby, they'll have plenty of companionship and attention. I'm typically home in the evenings and maintain a consistent routine, helping pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and respectful experience for every family I work with. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I prioritize safety on walks and outings and always make sure pets are secure and comfortable. When staying in a client's home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep the home clean and tidy, lock doors and windows when leaving, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the entire stay.

“Kate was very attentive to my dog’s particular needs, I felt very confident that my dog was well taken care of with her. She provided feedback and photos regularly. She is great at what she does!”
“Abegail was very kind and caring with Koko, she even was very responsive and sent a lot of photos for his short stay with her! Abegail even responded to our last minute request as we had issues with another sitter and was able to book her the day of our reservation! Wonderful job done and would strongly recommend her again!”
“Emily & Steven we're absolutely amazing! They were incredibly accommodating with any instructions we had for taking care of Messi and always provided us with regular status updates on how he was doing. Messi seemed to be very comfortable at their place and we will absolutely be reaching out again in the future :) could not recommend this family enough!”
“Jacquelyn was absolutely amazing with my doggie, Bao when he boarded with her for a long weekend! I got updates, pictures, and she even went above and beyond to help my guy when he was having some itchies on his paws. 10/10 would recommend her care ❤️”
“Julia was incredible!!! Not only was she so flexible with my schedule and specific needs but she was so beyond kind and caring. She took such good care of my dog Louie. He's been so anxious and sick lately and despite him having an accident in her home, she still welcomed him back and even went so far as to text me days later checking in to make sure he was feeling better. There's nothing worse than leaving your baby when they're sick and Julia alleviated so much of that stress for me. Can't say enough good things about her!”
“Nanako & Dustin were wonderful with my 18 year old geriatric dog! I received many updates thru out the day that allowed me to rest easy that he was happy and relaxed in his temporary home. 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!”
“This was my first time using Rover for boarding so I was a bit anxious. I'm so grateful we found Kimberly! She took great care of China and Rupert. I appreciated the constant communication from beginning to end. She asked lots of questions during our Meet & Greet that helped me know that she is a very experienced and conscientious sitter. I selected the pick-up/drop-off add-on which was a huge help in terms of one less thing to think about with my trip. Kimberly was very punctual even with the early and late times. She sent continual updates and photos during the stay, which helped me be at ease while I was traveling and it was great to not have to constantly be asking how the dogs are doing. There were a couple of items left at Kimberly's house afterwards and she was really great about following up and getting them back to us. My pups returned happy and tired, which I consider an all-around excellent review!”
“Rachelle is amazing! She sent us lots of pictures of our dog Millie having a blast and getting lots of love. She was very communicative and flexible with our schedule. We'd happily have Rachelle watch our girl again!”
“Caterina took great care of my Golden while I was gone for 9 days! She provided great photos of him having a blast, playing, and swimming at the beach. She even bathed him before I picked him up! Would 100% book again.”
“Ben was amazing and we know our girl had a great time with him and his wife. He updated us regularly and sent lots of photos. We will 100% be booking with them again! Thank you so much for taking care of our baby!”
About: Life long dog owner until recently. I have experience fostering dogs of all ages. Experience with untrained puppies and older dogs that may need additional care. I work remote so I am able to spend a lot of time with your dog and care for them the way you need. I also have a closed in yard in Pacific Beach. My place is dog proof, they will have no issues at my place. Have a spare bedroom if they prefer some quiet time in their crate. When I am in your home, I stick to what you need and leave it exactly as I find it. Making sure the dog is safe and secure when arriving and leaving.
“Ana and her partner were so incredible with our dog. This was our first time leaving him with a dog sitter and we were nervous about how he would do with someone new but he warmed up to them so quickly! They gave him lots of pets, cuddles, and attention and even had recommendations for how to make him more comfortable in a new home. We are so grateful for them both and all the pics they sent while we were out of town. He also had just gone through surgery and they did a great job following his aftercare instructions and giving him medication. Great experience, highly recommend!!”
“Cody had an amazing time. Seeing all the pictures and videos of him playing and hanging out with the other dogs was great. He really enjoyed himself and came home happy and tired from playing all weekend.”
“Zach and his wife were so kind and communicative with us while they kept our Sisi for almost a week. This was the first time I have ever left her and I could instantly tell she was in good hands. They handled her quirks and diva behavior very well!”
“Hannah took great care of Stitch. We had an unexpected dog injury happen right before this scheduled dog sitting time frame and she handled it like a pro. She made sure Stitch had his medicine and extra TLC. We're so appreciative of her.”
“Michelle was amazing with my 2 1/2 year old high energy, covid-puppy Brittany. He likes lots of exercise and has only been away from us a few times so I didn’t know how it would go. She loved on him like we do and he seemed at ease right away. I will definitely book with Michelle again and know my pup is safe and happy.”
