“Araceli did an amazing job with our dog Punky! She was incredibly responsive and accommodating of our dog's needs. Her home is also incredibly dog friendly--would definitely recommend to others looking for a pet sitter.”
“Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!”
“PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.”
“Bella thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Chau. We were updated multiple times a day and received many pictures and videos of Bella living her best life. Will definitely be rebooking with Chau and would recommend to anyone needing any pet services.”
“Daniela took care of my dog Mia while I was in Europe, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept me constantly updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Mia clearly had an amazing time and was so well cared for. I’m incredibly grateful and will absolutely be booking Daniela again. Highly recommend! 🐾 ✨”
“Robin & Rahn are amazing! Our dog, Mookie, had the best time. We received tons of pics and videos throughout the weekend - plenty of walks, exploring and playing fetch! We couldn’t recommend them more ☺️”
“Isabella was so amazing with my anxious pup! i loved how she kept me updated the whole time and lots of pictures and videos. Very sweet and polite and flexible with my last minute plans. Anytime i need a sitter in san diego isabella will be my go to!”
“Phillip is just the best!! He has taken great care of our senior dog and loved on her as if she was his own dog, we absolutely trust our dog is in good hands with Phillip.”
“Maddie took care of our 11 year old Labrador. My dog was lightly exercised as requested, photos sent twice a day and basically spoiled. Thanks Maddie. I am very particular with my furry family member and Maddie was excellent. Highly recommend”
“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.”
“Cristina and her family are the best! We have done day care but now have also left our lil man with her for 3 nights while we were out of town. Today we sat talked and our baby was happy and excited to see us and also so happy with where he stayed. She is the only one for our family!!”
“Alex was great! Sent updates and photos every day. When I picked up Millie she was torn between going home with me and going back with Alex. I say that's a great endorsement! Thank you Alex!”
“Marwa was great and sent pics for a daily update on how my dog was doing. She responded quick to my messages when I checked in which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with her again!”
“I’m very glad to have had Ken take care of my lab, Renzo. From our initial meet-and-greet, he was very kind, and we had an extensive conversation about our expectations and Renzo’s needs. He was very accommodating and sent me several updates and pictures while I was away. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets.”
“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!”
“Ami watched my pup over the Thanksgiving Holiday, and took wonderful care of him! She sent me photos daily, and he looked happy and relaxed the whole time… thank you, Ami!”

“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.”
“Marie took care of my cats while I was away, and the experience was exceptional! Additionally, she saw on my calendar that it was almost my birthday, so she left me a card and some cookies. So generous and thoughtful!!! Thank you Marie!”
“My cats loved having Brittany around! One of my boys is super shy and she’s so great with cats. He warmed up to her immediately on the meet and greet. Highly recommend her and will definitely have her back!!”
“Ivy took such good care of our two kitties! She sent detailed cards after her visits and sent lots of good pictures. She brushed them and played with them every visit and we really felt like they were being taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely book again!”
“Monica did a great job of taking care of our cat Addie! Addie has asthma and requires an inhaler. Monica took the time to learn how to administer the inhaler so Addie is well taken care of. Thank you again!”
“Jazmin has been great to our 🍊s. Every visit has an update about our cats and what has been done during the visit. The pictures included gave us peace of mind as well that the cats are doing well. Most importantly, I highly recommend Jazmin because not only did she took great care of our cats, she had shown care for our home as well. Highly highly recommend and will book in the future!”
“Danielle was amazing with our cat Leo! I was a nervous cat parent leaving him alone for the first time and she was so easy to communicate with and made me feel very comfortable that he was in good hands. She went above and beyond and sent lots of photos which was so appreciated.”
“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!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Emily provided for our two cats while we were away. She went above and beyond our expectations, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and happy every single day. We loved receiving her daily updates complete with adorable photos and sweet notes about what the cats were up to. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Emily’s attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and extra effort truly set her apart. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and devoted pet sitter”
“We had a great experience with our Heather! She stayed overnight with our pet cat, Marshall for a full week and took wonderful care of everything. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was very clean, respectful of our home, and so kind. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to others!”
About: I've had cats of my own for over 15 years. I have experience caring for neighbors and friends cats for well over 10 years. I understand cat behavior and body language well. Through my education background (Bachelor's in Animal Science and Associate’s in Animal Care and Training) and from personal experience, I know how to administer medication to cats of all ages.
About: I respect that cats are deeply individual creatures — not small dogs — and I take the time to understand their boundaries, routines, and quirks. Whether your cat is social or shy, healthy or needs medical care, I offer calm, intuitive, and expert-level care tailored to their comfort. I don’t just care for cats — I connect with them.
“Julia was prompt, quick to respond, and Bao loved hanging out with her for the afternoon! She was communicative and is great with dogs. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We were very happy to have Olivia take care of our kitties! She came by each day and made sure they were taken care of and given some extra attention while we were away! We could relax knowing they were in good hands.”
“Celine was really great with my prickly cat and even won her over by the end of the week. Celine is very detail oriented and asked a lot of questions about what our cat needed. I'd definitely use her again.”
About: I've fostered two kittens, volunteered with cats and kittens through my previously local animal shelter in South Carolina, and house-sat for many cats through TrustedHousesitters. I’m new to Rover and very excited to be here! I'm comfortable with administering medication, special routines, and cats of all personalities, from very social affectionate cats to those that need extra space. I know how important it is to keep cats comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you're away, and I'll always make sure they get plenty of attention and care :)

“Chau went above and beyond for my dog. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. And my dog enjoyed hanging out with her pups. Amazing sitter!”
“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!”
“Leigh was amazing! I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I was worried about getting a dog sitter for Pierre, particularly out of town, but it was phenomenal. She made the entire experience completely stress-free. She gave frequent updates and my sweet boy really enjoyed spending time with her.”
“Zaira was a great sitter and provided several photos during my dogs day care with her. I would recommend her to others and plan to book with her again in the future.”
“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!”
“Melanie did a wonderful job watching my pup. She gave consistent updates and my pup was relaxed and appeared to be well rested when I picked her up which is the best thing I can ask for … I would definitely rebook Melanie!”
“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: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for multiple pets, including helping with feeding routines, walks, play, medications when needed, and creating a calm, safe environment for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important consistency and trust are when someone is leaving their pet in another person’s care. My schedule is very flexible since I work and attend school online from home. That allows me to be present with pets throughout the day and provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home with a secure enclosed yard and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I currently have a friendly cat and create a safe, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed.
“We had a great experience! Isabella and her bf were incredibly flexible and accommodating, even with our last-minute daycare request while we were visiting San Diego. Fendi had a wonderful time and got plenty of exercise, including trips to the dog park. We really appreciated the updates and care they provided. Would definitely book again!”

About: I’m a stay-at-home and remote working (part time currently) tech marketing professional, here in the heart of San Diego.

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.

About: I have cared for bottle babies all the way to senior animals that need meds and additional support. Big and small I love them all! I have socialized the shyest of cats, and the pups that pull and bark. I can administer medication oral and otherwise. I also know how to use a variety of leashes and collars. I have walked over 300 dogs, and work with a reputable rescue in SD to foster cats and puppies. I am my family and friends’ resident dog sitter for many years! I’ve also volunteered at shelters and adore all animals. I’ve even sat for snakes, Guinea pigs, and a skink! I work full time from home, so I will be able to give your loved one 24/7 care! I love taking walks around the neighborhood in South Park, and so naturally already spend a lot of outdoor time. I live right next to a dog park, and have a lot of flexibility. We have a dog friendly resident cat, and thus have a lot of cat and dog equipment at all times in our home. A lot of cozy spots to rest! I will care for your pet as if theyre my own! I am the trusted go to person for all my family and friends, and have over 20+ years of experience. I also work with a reputable rescue in SD who have done frequent home visits and partnerships. I’ve cared for over 100+ animals in my home or the person’s home. I follow instructions very well, and am a very neat and tidy person!
“Austyn has been THE best. Saved us last minute when our fence broke and my girl was eloping while I was at work. Meesh gets happy wiggles whenever she hears his name and that is more than enough reassurance for me!”
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 :)
“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.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve used Rover to have my pup watched, and I’m so glad to have had Ziting watching him! She responded extremely fast, and I was so relieved she said yes—considering it was a less than 24hr sitting request. I received pics and vids from the daycare stay, and he looked so welcomed & happy. I’m sure Saint had a blast with her and Zuzu since he is now napping. Super professional, and I already had a feeling she’d be amazing at drop off! She was extremely flexible, and I can’t thank her enough. 10/10 sitter. Highly recommend! I would definitely book again.”
“Penelope usually barks at men but Antonio came out to meet me with treats and did a great job introducing himself to my skittish pup. He made sure to send videos of Penelope meeting all the pups which eased my nerves. I will definitely be reaching out in the future!!”

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a husky and has since fostered dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently live in South Park, right between Golden Hill, North Park, and Balboa Park, making it easy for me to take your pup on enriching walks through some of San Diego’s best dog friendly neighborhoods. Because I regularly foster, I have extensive experience with: • High energy dogs, shy dogs, and everything in between • Puppies • Medical fosters: including administering oral meds, topical treatments, and basic care instructions My priority is always your dog’s comfort and happiness.

I provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pup will be treated like family here. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced sitter or walker in South Park / North Park / Golden Hill, I’d love to help care for your dog! I look forward to meeting your pup!

On my days off, I love being outdoors and frequently walk around my South Park neighborhood, so your dog will get lots of fresh air, movement, and enrichment. I’m available throughout the day to keep your pup’s routine on track and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and fully cared for from morning to night. I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I make sure every pup is walked on a consistent schedule, fed according to their routine, and given plenty of playtime and affection. Because I foster regularly, I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities and energy levels, from high-energy dogs who need lots of activity to shy or slow to warm up pups who need patience and gentle structure. I also prioritize mental stimulation throughout the day through enrichment activities, sniff walks, puzzle toys, and training games to keep your dog engaged and happy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your dog’s routine closely to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
“She was very communicative and took pictures of my dogs and took them on a long walk. My dogs were so tired afterward. I really appreciate her also being accommodating with me. 10/10”
“Julio is great with my dogs! My border Collie puppy is nervous around new people. Julio was very gentle and patient with him. I appreciate Julio's calm demeanor and his commitment to learn about the dogs he walks, especially their behaviors and routines. He has good communication and feedback. Overall will definitely be booking again with Julio for dog walks!”
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).

About: I have worked with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I love seniors, puppies, and all ages! I have experience with senior dogs who need that extra special care. I have been dog/cat sitting for my friends and family for over 15 years and I am very excited to meet more furry friends to add to my life. I am excited to meet you and your beloved pet!

“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: Lifelong dog lover, full-time remote worker, and proud human to two four-legged “office managers” named Lola (a Lab) and Lily (a Shepherd/Malinois mix). They supervise my every move, especially if snacks are involved. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I treat every pup like one of my own…which means lots of love, couch privileges, and yes, they’re absolutely welcome to hog the bed if that’s their thing. I even spent six months abroad dog-sitting my cousin’s two Labs (including a senior pup) while he was deployed, so I’ve got experience with all ages and energy levels. Around here, we do daily walks, plenty of playtime, and the occasional Starbucks run—pup cups included. If your dog likes cuddles, belly rubs, or binge-watching TV on the couch, they’re gonna fit in real well around here. I'm lucky enough to work from home with my two adorable furry companions, Lily and Lola! With my husband on deployment, I have plenty of time to spend with my furry friends, and I'd be thrilled to welcome your fur baby into our little pack! If your furry friend is used to having someone around for most, if not all, of the day, then I’m the perfect fit! I’m the type of dog owner who feels guilty leaving them alone, so they usually join me on most errands. After all, who doesn’t love the sight of floppy ears enjoying the fresh air with the windows down? I have both a front and back yard that are fenced in, providing plenty of space for them to romp around. My dogs have the freedom to move about the house. Since I live in a small home, I often keep the front door open so my pups can sit outside and bask in the sun during the day. Always supervised, I only call them in when a package is being delivered. At a minimum, your fur baby would join me, Lily and Lola for two hot dawg walks a day, more than likely to Starbucks and 28th Street Park to touch grass (more for me than it is for them).
“Kalista was so sweet with our pup! She made time to do a meet and greet on short notice and quickly won over Indie. We are so grateful and will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Isabella was so amazing with my anxious pup! i loved how she kept me updated the whole time and lots of pictures and videos. Very sweet and polite and flexible with my last minute plans. Anytime i need a sitter in san diego isabella will be my go to!”
“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.”
“I’m very glad to have had Ken take care of my lab, Renzo. From our initial meet-and-greet, he was very kind, and we had an extensive conversation about our expectations and Renzo’s needs. He was very accommodating and sent me several updates and pictures while I was away. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets.”

“I have had my dog Percy for about a year in a half, he has had to wear diapers however ( male wraps) which has made it hard for me to find a sitter , So i went on Rover and found Anar, after our meet and greet she agreed to have Percy stay with her for two nights with no Problem at all. She attended percys special request with diapers as well as kept me comforted with pictures throughout the stay, he was walked, attended too and got a long with her Dogs. Anar was great and i will be requesting her again for Percy.”

“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”
“I just want to thank Elba and her husband for taking such amazing care of my babies and all of their needs. My girl Sammy has recently been struggling with separation anxiety, and they truly gave her the love, comfort, and attention she needed. From the pictures and videos they sent me, I could see a completely different and much happier dog. They were also incredibly sweet and caring with my boy Pickles. I’m very selective about who watches my dogs because I want to make sure they are treated with the same love and care I give them, and Elba and her husband exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for someone to watch your puppies and treat them like family, I highly recommend booking with Elba and her husband!”
“Livy had a great stay with Carolina and her husband! We are so grateful they took our last minute boarding request and when we did the meet and greet our dog was immediately so comfortable around them. Thank you for taking such good care of our Livy!”
“Cerita is a gem! So kind, so sweet and her house is great for pups that enjoy socializing with other pups and has a nice indoor/outdoor vibe for the pups to have some level of autonomy and freedom which is amazing. We would highly recommend and will use her if we come to SD again”
“Pamela is a great sitter, she’s quick to get back to you about booking and all things regarding your pups stay, very patient with my high energy dogs, and her open availability has been so helpful to my schedule. Highly recommend! She’s fantastic.”
“Scoot absolutely loved his over night at Felicia’s. We are in the area for the summer and Scoot was going through some separation anxiety. When I picked him up, he was back to his happy self. Definitely recommend Felicia and will certainly use her again this summer!”
About: I currently have the privilege of having two senior dogs that have been in my care for 13 years. I am aware of the patience, love and commitment it takes, having and caring for a pet that solely relies on you. I am comfortable administering medications and dealing with food modifications. I have also helped foster in the past. I am home during the day, with light serving shift 3 times a week at night. Long or short walks are available, as well as playtime, boarding and overnight care. My home is your pets home! I love my neighborhood. While I do not have direct access to a back yard, I am super close to multiple dog parks and live in a very walkable neighborhood.
“Outstanding pet sitter. Kept us updated at all times on our baby’s status. Huge plus was her prior experience with bully breeds and their various, mysterious ways. Felt comfortable right away after leaving her behind. Jocy is super detail oriented and very attentive to all doggie needs. We would absolutely book her again. 100% recommend. Thanks Jocy!”
