“This was Willow’s second time staying with Araceli, and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to come home! Araceli is the best, her manner with pups and her joyfulness with being a sitter is what makes me effortlessly comfortable to leave my Willow with her. Willow loves her “Tia” and she’ll be back!”

This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!”

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.
“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!!”
“Maria is a responsible, kind person. She sent photo and video updates, let me know if there were any issues at our place (there weren’t), and our cat enjoyed making a new friend.”
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.
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.

“Monica was great! She followed our instructions perfectly. She was on time, took good care of our cats and was very communicative. We will definitely use her again.”
“Amazing sitter! Very communicative and follows instruction very well. She spent a little extra time with our kitties because of all the medications one of them has. We are very appreciative!”
“Kalista was absolutely fantastic with our cat, who needed liquid oral medication administered twice daily. We have only had this cat in our lives for a few months and this was his first cat sitting experience. We were really nervous about someone else being able to administer the meds, but Kalista was able to gain our cat’s trust and make it happen. She spent quality time with him and soon he was purring and being sweet with her which we weren’t sure would happen. She was very communicative and we felt confident for our entire two week trip. We will absolutely ask Kalista to come back — the peace of mind was so incredibly appreciated. She’s so good at this!”
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!
“Crystal did an excellent job caring for my fur child. Crystal was very punctual, played with and gave lots of attention to my cat while I was away. I will be booking Crystal again and highly recommend their services.”
“Rachel has been so reliable and our kitties thoroughly enjoy her visits with all the playtime she provides! We will definitely continue using her for drop-in visits.”
“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!”
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.

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 5 years, and have dog walked + dog sat + cat sat for friends countless times. I live in an apartment with my chill 7 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.

“It was clear that our 2 year old pup had a great time playing with Jessica's dog all day. She passed out on the couch right after dinner with no interest in training or treats, she was that tired (which we love for her). We look forward to having Jessica care for her more in the future.”
“Isabella is incredibly caring and responsive. She kept us updated with messages and photos of our dog throughout the stay, which made us feel relaxed and at ease. I especially appreciated that we didn’t even have to ask! We’ll definitely use her daycare service again when we’re in San Diego. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“Hooli had a great doggy day care with Shane and Chris! It was our first time leaving our 7.5month old puppy and I could tell she was in good hands. We received lots of photos and updates which put mind at ease!”

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.

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.

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
“Zaira was amazing with our dog during the three days we needed daytime care while we were out. She was excellent with communication from the very beginning and very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. We did a brief meet-and-greet session first, and after that Zaira took our Labrador in without any issues. She also has her own dog, Malik (she’s a sweetheart!), and they got along really well, so we had no worries at all. Over the three days, Zaira took great care of our dog, shared pictures regularly, and kept us posted, which gave us complete peace of mind. If you’re visiting San Diego and need a reliable and caring place to leave your pup, Zaira is someone you can trust without hesitation. Highly recommended!”

“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”
“Vanessa is absolutely amazing. She is extremely accommodating and has not once said no to helping me out even if it’s a few hours before. She takes the best care of my puppy Lucy and always goes above and beyond for her walks as well as sending me the cutest pictures during. I highly recommend her to anyone nearby!!!!”
“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.”

“Lisa was awesome. So friendly with lots of love for my little Bichon. They walked the neighborhood, each day with a different walk. I would highly recommend Lisa for your dog sitting needs.”
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 will tailor the love and care for your pet based on his or her behavior and personality. I have both a senior dog and a pup, so there’s a huge range of personalities in between both. My senior dog requires at least an hour inside then wants his own time in the yard as for the pup he requires a lot of exercise and then nap time in the couch. Let me know your fur baby ‘s personality and I’ll be sure to accommodate. At my home you have the option to be completely outside or inside, we have cement and grass and lots of fruit trees for them to smell and explore. I would prefer for your dog to be potty trained in advanced if he or she requires to be inside.
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: With six years of experience nurturing cats and dogs, I'm passionate about extending my care to your beloved pets. My trustworthiness has been proven by friends, family, neighbors, and more, making me the ideal choice for your pet-sitting needs. I presently work part-time as a nanny, which grants me ample daytime availability to drop by and provide essential care for your pets, including feeding, playing, and walking. My active lifestyle aligns perfectly with my love for taking dogs on enjoyable walks, and I equally enjoy engaging with cats, recognizing the significance of keeping them active and entertained. I believe in maintaining animals in their familiar surroundings and, as such, my pet care services are primarily centered on caring for your pets in and around your own home.
About: If your dog struggles with anxiety, you've found the right sitter. I'll make sure your dog warms up to me quickly and feels loved and comfortable during the stay. I specialize in helping dogs feel calm, safe, and truly at ease, especially those who need a little extra patience and reassurance. Because I don't have pets of my own right now, your dog gets my complete, undivided attention. I've been an animal lover my whole life and have cared for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a Chihuahua I loved through his senior years when he went blind, and a French Mastiff who made me fall head over heels for big dogs too! I truly enjoy making each furry friend feel loved and secure while their humans are away. 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.

About: Hi, I’m Monica! 👋 I adore cats, so I started caring for them full-time as a local sitter. From shy rescues to playful kittens, I adjust my care approach so every cat feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. While most of my clients are cats, I’m also happy to care for low-energy and senior dogs of all sizes. I am also familiar with caring for birds, rodents, reptiles/snakes, fish, and various farm animals. Additionally, I have experience administering insulin, IV fluids, respiratory inhalers, oral, and topical medications. I am available full-time, including holidays and weekends. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to work with both new and returning clients in San Diego. I treat every home with respect, keep a clean work environment, and aim to make your pets feel as relaxed and safe as possible in your absence. PLEASE NOTE: During holidays and peak booking periods, drop-ins are focused strictly on essential tasks to ensure all pets are cared for reliably and safely. Time on site may be shortened when all care tasks are completed.
“Vanessa and her husband took great care of Murphy. They sent pictures and updates and were very responsive. Vanessa came to the rescue when our other Rover had to cancel last minute due to her dog being sick, so I was really grateful for her flexibility. Would definitely book with them again!”
