Ehda is absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my kitty, Disco, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was communicative, reliable, and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. I felt completely comfortable leaving Disco in her care, and I could tell he was well-loved and looked after. I will definitely be booking with Ehda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

It was our first time using Kimberly and she was super!! We recently moved from illinois and needed someone to watch Oreo for a few days while we travelled back to illinois. Kimberly was phenomenal! We received several daily pictures including movie nights and walks outside. He really liked Ranger and Ginger, the family dogs. Very accommodating and attended to all our needs. I would give her 10 stars if I could. Great sitter!

Winnie came home happy and calm. With our previous sitter, she was often anxious and it took an adjustment period to settle back in. After being in Claire's care, Winnie was noticeably relaxed and herself, not stressed. Claire communicated regularly and kept us informed how things were going. We will definitely reach out for Claire's help again.

Brooke went above and beyond for our pups over the holidays! We feel so lucky to have found her. We have two senior dogs that typically are sat at our house, but had to find somewhere else for them to stay this year and Brooke made them feel right at home. They loved staying with her. She also sent a ton of photos and videos which we appreciated so much. Could not recommend her more!!

Alana took wonder care of our dog over three stays. While our pup can be a bit nervous at first, she warmed up to Alana very quickly, which speaks volumes about her calm, caring approach. Alana was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly made our pup feel safe and comfortable. We loved the updates and regular communication which let us see what a great time our pup was having. We felt completely at ease while we were away and are so grateful to have found Alana. We absolutely plan to continue booking with her and highly recommend them to anyone looking for truly excellent care.

I can't thank Mayank and family enough for the amazing care they provided for my dog during our week away! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. The entire family went above and beyond, spending so much personal time playing, cuddling, and keeping her entertained. They really treated her like part of the family, and I could tell she felt right at home. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that she was being looked after with so much love and attention. On top of that, they sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel even more at ease and connected to her. I highly recommend Mayank to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their furry friends. We will definitely be back! Thank you again for making our dog's stay so wonderful!

This is our first time using a petsitting app. We were so happy to find Anna to board our dog Sammy for 2 nites. It was last minute and Anna was very accommodating. I had an initial facetime meeting a couple days before and I felt comfortable because Anna answered my questions and was overall very pleasant. We dropped off Sammy and showed her what to do with his food n bedding n we were off. I liked that Anna’s home was very nice, clean and orderly from what I can see from her living room. She has a big front grass yard as well as a backyard and Sammy enjoyed it. She walked Sammy 2x a day and made sure to feed him and she let him cozy next to her on his downtime. Anna sent me updates with pictures in am n evenings. We were very happy with her service (Sammy too) and will definitely use her again! Thank you Anna!

She took notes during our meet and greet so she knew exactly what to do for the cats during her drop-in visits. She sent updates everyday with pictures and also brought in our packages.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my house at all times, and have a lifetime of experience walking, feeding, and taking care of them over the years. Recently, my childhood dog Kona (a sheepdog mutt) crossed the rainbow bridge, and I really miss being around dogs. As a kid, I taught Kona how to fetch when she was 5 months old, tricks and commands (sit, roll over, speak, shake), and I cut her long sheepdog coat about every other month for almost 10 years :). My recent experience includes dog sitting, walking, and helping raise my sisters’ dogs (ranging from a 1 month old lab to a 15 year old husky mix). I also cat sit (2 cats) for my friend in New York when I visit. I’ve been told I have a special gift of connecting with dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with them :) I’ve even worked with dogs on-set for clients at work! I’m a competitive lacrosse player, so I am already active and have the strength to handle bigger breeds. My sister’s 1-year old lab is almost 80lbs and I take care of him regularly. Looking for some extra opportunities to go on walks/runs and stay active!! I also grew up in San Diego and currently have a lot of schedule flexibility since I freelance for work. I currently freelance and have a light load of clients at the moment, so I have a lot of time and flexibility. I can be available weekdays and weekends. I’d love consistent schedules but can be available for last minute or one off bookings as well. I am very respectful of others’ spaces, and can follow rules very well if your dog(s) need to be crated, only in certain rooms, etc. I won’t enter or use any part of your home that you don’t feel comfortable with and will always default to the side of caution to ensure your privacy and trust. Also, if your dog has a favorite walking route I’m happy to utilize familiar environments as well! Please let me know about any specifics and I’d always gladly accept feedback.

About: I bring personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with puppies, including crate training and potty breaks, as well as senior dogs who need gentle walks, medication, or a little extra patience. I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment whether it's playtime, training, or just companionship, so your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. I genuinely love spending time with animals. I structure my weekends around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine closely: mealtimes, walks, play, and any medications or special care. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and secure. If your pet is with me, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My goal is to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

About: While dogs have been a part of my life for over 25 years, I've also developed a genuine love for caring for cats. For the past two months, I've provided weekly care for two Persian cats, learning the importance of respecting each cat's unique personality and routine. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, patience, and a calm environment. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers quiet companionship, I'll care for them at their own pace while keeping their routine as stress-free as possible. I'll make sure your cat receives fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of affection (if they want it!), and careful attention to their comfort and well-being. My goal is for both you and your cat to feel completely at ease while you're away.

About: Hello! My name is Cecelia and I am so excited to get to know you and your pet! Growing up, I have always had a dog in my house and all of my extended family members have pets as well. I love going to parks and finding exciting and fun places. I love taking walks and am able to handle any sized pet. I have my own transportation so errands are not a problem. When not at work, my schedule is very flexible and I am a very easy going person. I work in biotech M-F and have weekends off. I will always send pics of your fur baby and as many updates as you’d like! I have a mini goldendoodle (30lbs) named Ollie who is such a love bug and gets along with any sized dog. Cant wait to meet your fur baby :) M-F I work in office for about 9 hours a day and am home no later than 4pm most days. When home, I love to take my dog on walks around the neighborhood or take him to a park. On the weekends, I bring my dog to get coffee with me and we take a walk on the beach. I love being as active as I can with my dog and would love for your pet to join us! I provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment with plenty of exercise, attention, and supervision. I live in a dog-friendly condo community directly across from a park, so dogs enjoy regular walks, potty breaks, and outdoor time throughout the day. We also take neighborhood walks on the many nearby sidewalks, and sometimes stroll through One Paseo for new sights and smells (with owner approval). On weekends, I’m typically home, so pets receive lots of companionship and aren’t left alone for long periods. When I do run errands, I often bring dogs along if we’re visiting pet-friendly places. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their routine as close to home as possible.

About: I have been caring for cats for the past 6 years and understand that every cat has its own unique personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for my brother and sister-in-law’s two cats, including one who requires regular medical care and close attention. As a military medic with 7 years of experience, I understand the importance of following care instructions precisely, monitoring for changes, and providing reliable, attentive care—especially for pets with medical conditions. Whether your cat needs medication, a strict feeding schedule, extra patience, or simply companionship while you’re away, I will treat them with the same kindness and respect I would expect for my own pets. I believe in clear, honest, reliable, and frequent communication. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Tell me how you care for your cat, and I will follow your instructions to the letter. You can trust me to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your feline family member.

While traveling and having to go to the hospital back and forth at UCSD, needed help with my dachshund. Seeing that she has a dachshund as well, made me feel like it was the perfect fit. Angelica was incredible. She is centrally located. Kept updating me with pictures and videos which I absolutely love. Will definitely use her in the future if I am back in the LaJolla area.

In the days of people being flaky and irresponsible, what a relief and joy it is to have found Danielle!!! I knew from the initial prompt response from her that she was going to be a rare find!!! I have an 80 lb Pitbull that I pulled from Lancaster Animal Shelter in March. He is a great dog but strong and intimidating looking. I had a friend spending the night but I needed someone to walk him and hang out with him. He had so much fun with Danielle and got exactly the activity he needed! She did alot of enriching activities with him and I SOOOO appreciated the photos and vids and updates of how she left him (ie where the water was with pics, he was out in the house or in the office, etc). She made my international trip so much more relaxing and less stressful knowing he was being well cared for! I have already booked her again and will most certainly continue to use her in the future!!!

About: From walking my first childhood dog at 6 to caring for loved ones' dogs throughout my teens, I knew I loved pet care! I specialize in stubborn and/or hyperactive pups! I have walked dogs of all sizes and love getting to know each of their personalities. I am also an experienced photographer and would love to capture some frameable shots of your dog during a drop-in or walk! I have lived in San Diego for about 14 years now, so I am knowledgeable about all the best dog-walking trails/routes, especially in the Del Mar area! I can't wait to meet you and your pup :) I just graduated from UCLA and moved back home to San Diego, so I have a lot of newfound time on my hands! I am available throughout the day on weekdays and have no problems walking early in the morning or later at night. I recognize that all pets have different needs, wants, and personalities that warrant hyper-individualized care. I make specified folders for each dog I care for that list preferences, dos/dont's, and any other important information.

About: I bring more than 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets, along with the perspective of a lifelong pet owner. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I've been in your shoes. Unlike sitters who are away for most of the day, I work remotely as a licensed professional counselor, so I'm home throughout the day to provide companionship, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Your pet won't just be checked on—they'll have someone present and attentive. My professional background has also strengthened the qualities that matter most in pet care: patience, reliability, communication, and the ability to understand individual needs. Every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like one of my own because I know they're family. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. As a licensed professional counselor who works remotely from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. My schedule allows me to accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention, ensuring your pet isn't left alone for extended periods. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love building relationships with each pet's unique personality. Whether your furry friend needs an energetic walk, a cozy companion while you're away, or simply someone to keep their routine consistent, I'm happy to provide loving, dependable care that gives you peace of mind. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide care that's as consistent as possible with what they're used to. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and overall well-being, making sure they receive the attention they need while you're away. When pets stay in my home, they'll enjoy a clean, comfortable environment with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. My apartment community features beautiful walking trails, multiple walking paths, convenient pet waste stations, and a dog park all within walking distance, making it easy to provide frequent walks, outdoor time, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, relaxed, and right at home while you're away.

About: I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, having raised and trained two of my own. I know how much patience, consistency, and calm energy it takes to help a nervous or reactive pup feel safe, and I’ve spent countless hours on exposure work and training to do just that. Whether your dog is shy, anxious, or still learning their manners, they’re in understanding hands with me Caring for dogs is part of my daily rhythm. Between my own dog and the time I spend on walks and play, dogs are always in my schedule. I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and giving your pup the time and attention they deserve I’ll always come to you, where your dog feels safest. I’ll follow whatever routine your pup already knows, and when we’re walking, my phone stays in my pocket so your dog has my full attention. I always keep the leash secure and lock up before I go. If your dog is reactive, you’re in good hands. I’ve had two reactive dogs of my own, so I know how to stay calm, read the signs, and move them away from triggers before things get to be too much. Either way, you’ll get photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and safe

My own dog is highly reactive, so I have a lot of experience with handling and caring for reactive dogs. I treat and love every animal as my own and am a very responsible and reliable caregiver. I work as a school psychologist, so I typically care for animals more over the summer! Over the summer, I am available throughout the day for walks or drop in services. I am very flexible both week days and weekends, check my calendar to see if I’m available! I do not offer in-home pet care due to the needs of my own pets. However, I am a very responsible and respectful caregiver when entering client homes.

I received regular pupdates with pictures and in every single photo Hazel looked absolutely comfortable and happy with Holly, her home, and her family (including her 2 dogs). I feel 100% confident and comfortable using Holly’s services in the near future and would recommend her to anyone.

Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.

Alix was wonderful! She communicated with me from the moment I booked to the moment I picked my pup back up and even sent some really cute pictures. I highly recommend her!

I can't thank Mayank and family enough for the amazing care they provided for my dog during our week away! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. The entire family went above and beyond, spending so much personal time playing, cuddling, and keeping her entertained. They really treated her like part of the family, and I could tell she felt right at home. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that she was being looked after with so much love and attention. On top of that, they sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel even more at ease and connected to her. I highly recommend Mayank to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their furry friends. We will definitely be back! Thank you again for making our dog's stay so wonderful!

This is our first time using a petsitting app. We were so happy to find Anna to board our dog Sammy for 2 nites. It was last minute and Anna was very accommodating. I had an initial facetime meeting a couple days before and I felt comfortable because Anna answered my questions and was overall very pleasant. We dropped off Sammy and showed her what to do with his food n bedding n we were off. I liked that Anna’s home was very nice, clean and orderly from what I can see from her living room. She has a big front grass yard as well as a backyard and Sammy enjoyed it. She walked Sammy 2x a day and made sure to feed him and she let him cozy next to her on his downtime. Anna sent me updates with pictures in am n evenings. We were very happy with her service (Sammy too) and will definitely use her again! Thank you Anna!

Christy took great care of our elderly dog! She was able to handle giving her several medications twice a day and took her on walks. It seemed like our pup received lots of love and attention. We also got pictures and videos throughout her stay!

This sitter was amazing with my Husky. I have never left her with anyone aside from family because she needs to be watched constantly and she has horrible separation anxiety. My dog immediately took to her when introduced. I was nervous leaving her there, but immediately got photos showing me Bella was OK. She checked in throughout the day. And when I picked Bella up, my dog was excited to see me, but she wasn’t the anxiety riddled full of stress she would normally be after being left. I cannot have asked for more.

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.

Gelare and Sama are wonderful pet sitters! We could tell through all the pictures and videos that Gelare took very good care of our little pup. From playing catch to tummy rubs, we were sure our pup was getting all the love and attention we were hoping for! Would highly recommend!

About: With over 30 years of experience, I provide personalized care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort and happiness. What sets me apart is my focus on behavioral consistency and specialized attention for different life stages. I have extensive experience in puppy training support, using positive reinforcement to maintain your training goals, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra companionship. Whether it’s high-energy playtime or calming cuddles, I tailor every visit to match your pet's unique personality and energy levels. My background as a professional photographer makes me a uniquely patient and observant pet sitter, as I am already trained to anticipate subtle body language and capture a pet's truest personality. I bring that same artistic eye and calm focus to my pet care, ensuring your "best friend" stays engaged and comfortable in their familiar routine. Because my 2026 photography schedule is flexible, I am now fully open for pet sitting and can offer the reliable, high-quality care your pets deserve. As a special bonus, you won't just get a safe and happy pet—you will also receive beautiful, high-quality "souvenir" photos of their daily adventures while you are away. In 2026, creating a safe and trustworthy environment for your pet is my highest priority. Whether I am caring for them in my home or yours, I begin every engagement with a thorough meet-and-greet to align on routines and tour the property for potential safety hazards. In your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, including locking gates, managing alarm codes, and ensuring hazardous items like cleaning supplies or loose cables are inaccessible. To build lasting trust, I maintain transparent communication by providing real-time updates and professional-quality photo check-ins throughout the day. My approach is designed to preserve your pet's familiar routine, reducing their stress while ensuring your home remains secure and respected in your absence.
