“Friday was so happy with Eric and Takako. They have 2 adorable chihuahuas. They took him on walks and sent me pictures, Friday looked so happy. I’m so grateful we found a great family that I feel comfortable leaving Friday with. Thank you Eric and Takako for making it so easy for and sooooo fun for Friday. He misses you guys.”
“Met May for meet and greet and had the best vibes, could tell she was professional at pet care and natural with little pups. Her dog pepper was also SO cute and I could tell Luke would be reassured for a first time boarding with her and Marc having a little friend. Everything went great, she was flexible with pick up and drop off around our agreed timing, super clear on communication throughout, and sent some cute photos of his stay. Would recommend and would book again!”
“Great stay for Juniper! She had a wonderful time being loved and cared for and made herself quickly at home. We were given photos and brief updates for her short stay to let us know everything was going well.”
“Super sweet and helpful, great communication when we were away, sent pix of my happy dog twice a day to let me know he was ok. My dog had the company of her 2 small dogs to make his stay even more pleasant. Took great care of our pet.”
About: I’m a dog mom with many years of experience taking good care of pups of all ages and sizes. I work from home with an extremely friendly dog of my own so your dog will have company all day and night! I work fully remote with a flexible schedule. Your dog will always get a morning walk with mine, potty breaks whenever needed, and I can accommodate any feeding schedule. I’m available to provide daycare and board most weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced backyard patio for potty breaks and time outside. Your pup will have free rein in the house with a doggy playmate. I generally do not crate or cage my dog when I’m out of the house, but can separate your pup as needed based on your requirements. I have cameras in my home for monitoring so I can always check what the pups are up to!

“Lori is very nice and quick to respond to messages, usually including a photo of my sweet boy, Otis, to ease my worried mind and heart while I’m away and missing him so much!!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Thank you Claire! Our Kobe was spoiled rotten in your care! You are the quintessential dog whisperer! I can’t wait til we visit next time and Kobe to see you and Leo! Thank you for your love and wonderful care.”
“Thankful we found Elizabeth! Our original sitter fell through and glad Elizabeth was available to do a meet up 2 days before our booking! She was super flexible and took such great care of Zuko. Highly recommend and will be using her again in the future!”
“Contacted Linda to watch Hazel for 10 days while we were out of the country. I had complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be in good hands after meeting Linda and her dog (Sammie). Was given updates while I was gone and was extremely satisfied and would recccomend her services to friends and family looking to board their dog.”
“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”

“Wow, I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch Bentley. She treated him with so much love and care, and I could tell he felt completely safe and happy. She sent me daily videos and pictures which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely be booking her again — and you should too! 👏🐾”
“My was incredibly sweet with Mosley. When my flight changed and I had to return much later than anticipated she was kind enough to arrange a last minute additional stay. I loved getting all of the text checkins and pictures about Mosley’s day. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Michael was conscientious and communicative from beginning to end. He has a gentle energy, and I trust that Whitley was well cared for in his home. Michael's family were part of that care too, and I am grateful they were all willing to companion him for the 6 days I was away (he's a needy boy lol). It was my first time leaving Whitley with anyone except my son since I got him 3 years ago, so it was a big deal for both Whitley and me. I would definitely have Whitley stay with him again.”
“Brooke is our go-to puppy sitter. I always look forward to her photos/videos. It’s like a professional photographer is capturing my pup’s best moments! And my puppy always comes back to us super happy - like she’s stayed with a family member who loves her. You can really tell Brooke loves animals, I fully trust her with my dog!”
“Shuo took amazing care of my dog while I was out of town for three days! Pickup, the stay, and drop off all went smoothly. She was communicative and provided cute photos and video updates. It’s clear how thoughtful she is, and how much she loves caring for dogs. We will definitely book Shuo again!”

About: Hello! My name is Kirk, and I truly enjoy caring for cats. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I make it a priority to provide calm, attentive care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your cat is playful and curious or prefers a quiet companion who respects their space, I adapt to each cat’s individual temperament. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, brushing, and simply spending quality time with your cat so they feel relaxed and cared for in their familiar environment. I know that cats often do best when their routines stay consistent. During each visit I focus on keeping things calm, predictable, and comfortable for them. I also provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is safe and doing well. My goal is to treat every cat with patience, kindness, and respect. Many cats take time to warm up to new people, and I’m very comfortable giving them the time and space they need while still making sure they receive excellent care. If you're looking for a reliable and thoughtful cat sitter who will treat your pet with genuine care and attention, I would love the opportunity to help. Please feel free to reach out anytime to schedule a visit or ask questions. I look forward to meeting you and your cat!
About: I have been a dog owner and animal lover my whole life! I am loving, compassionate, trustworthy and responsible. Your pets will receive a lot of attention, playtime and love from me! They will be treated as one of the family. I have raised my own puppies and cared for my senior dogs. I have fostered dogs for Norcal Golden Retreiver Rescue (where I rescued one of my dogs) and I have also volunteered at Pets In Need for both dogs and cats. Many friends call on me to help walk, feed and pet/housesit for them when they go out of town. Over the last 7 years, I have worked as a Personal Assistant/Home Manager for many high level executives and have cared for their homes and pets. I have over 30 years experience with cats as well. I raised my own kittens and would be happy to care for yours as well! Sadly, I lost my 12 year old Golden Retriever, Jax, in October 2024, so I have a lot of extra love to give. I'm currently home working on small personal projects and available most weekdays, so I am very flexible and have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet or pets! I'm available most weekdays and some weekends as well. I have a safe, fenced in yard. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac and live in a very dog-friendly, loving home. All pets are treated like family :) Your pet's safety and happiness are very important to me.
“We truly appreciated Cary's help and dedication in caring for our home and our cherished cat, Robbie. She was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates. We returned home to find Robbie stress-free, and the home is in fantastic condition. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“My wife and I were completely satisfied with Amy. She kept us well informed about and including photos our two cats. When we returned the cats and the house were all looking super. Amy even combatted an ant infestation that occurred. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs taught me early how to care for pets with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for my friends whenever they go out of town, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to match their energy and routines. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or more laid-back and shy, I’ve got them covered! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to be reliable and consistent, so you can count on me to stick to your pet’s routine. I’m also happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines and walk preferences to any special needs or behaviors. I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended longer than agreed. I stay attentive during walks and in the home to keep your pet safe at all times. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Audrey was absolutely amazing with our cat Milo. She was super timely and provided amazing updates. Our house was left super clean and we are extremely grateful for her help! Milo has a new friend too!”
“Paz was amazing! She took care of everything, that I asked her to do. Sent pictures during the visits. And my cat wasn’t meowing much after leaving him for 4 days, which is a huge win. Very happy with the results.”
About: I have cared for animals since I was 5, whether that was a family pet or a stray. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments as I have previous experience in a boarding/veterinary facility. Additionally, I have fostered puppies and older dogs with many different medical and training needs. I also have over 10 years of experience with horses and caring for animals of that nature. Currently I am a student at Mira Costa College, however, I am majority online so my schedule is very flexible for playtimes and walks with your pet! Keeping up with a pet’s routine and safety are my number 1 goals. I am unable to have others’ pets in my home, but I intend to respect others’ homes and values when caring for their pets.
“When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!”
About: While I haven’t had a cat of my own I always love to play with my friends cats and hold them. I respect their personalities cats boundaries and know how to clean a litter box as well!
About: I've had a dog for 16 years that I've taken care of, walked, fed, etc. I have also watched friends dogs while they were away. Not to brag - but I've gotten along with every dog I've ever met! :) I’m currently unemployed and can watch your pup whenever during the week (Mon-Fri). Happy to walk or sit your pup in the morning, mid-day or evening! I walk, feed and play with pets of all shapes and sizes! I love to take long walks and go to the dog park so your pup can get a little exercise in. I also love lounging around and relaxing if that's what your dog prefers!
“Shelby was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for my cat, Miki! From the moment we connected, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She made sure Miki was comfortable, well-fed, and loved while I was away, and I could tell Miki felt safe and happy with her. Shelby sent thoughtful updates and gave me total peace of mind. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter.”

“Julia made our San Diego visit so much more enjoyable as she watched our fur baby. She was very prompt, responsive, and flexible. Definitely requesting her again for our next visit.”
About: Hi! I’m Skyler, a recent University of Michigan graduate spending the summer in Solana Beach before moving to NYC in September. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ve provided dog sitting, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, and medication for dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve dog sat for many families through local Facebook groups. My own dog had epilepsy, so I have personal experience caring for a dog with medical needs, including administering medication and recognizing when extra attention is needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!! :) I have a flexible schedule this summer and am available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends.

I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect that I would my own.
“This was my first rover so I was admittedly quite nervous. Not only for myself, but even my dogs caretaker as at 4 months old, she can still have puppy like tics. Despite it all, Linda was communicative, thorough and a joy to interact with. You can tell her family has a great vibe, and that reflects in how they treat their dogs. I’m especially appreciative that we were a bit late to pick my pup up due to some traffic and Linda was so understanding and patient. Two paws way way up ?”

About: As a certified Holistic Health Practitioner I look at animal care from all aspects. I make sure they get good nutrition, exercise and interaction with other dogs. I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding. There are no cancer causing pesticides being used around our home and only bio-degradable non-toxic cleaners. For me dogs are supporting and protecting us on our journeys physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. I also offer canine massage. My husband and I are working from home and our daughter (19) is currently taking online classes. All of us love animals very much and enjoy being around them... We have a fully fenced yard (6 ft) and 2 little dogs ( one senior and one puppy) to keep your dog company. We have balls and toys to play with and your dog is welcome to share the dog beds and our couch with everybody. Our porch door is open all day which makes potty training easy and gives your dog plenty of outdoor time. We usually take everybody for a nice sunset walk and can add a nice beach walk to the day. We do not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals and there are no toxic/ poisonous plants in our yard/home.
“We just moved to San Diego from Dallas, TX, and we were a bit nervous about finding a new pet host for our 2 year Yorkie-Poo, Teddy. I went on Rover and as soon as I saw Sarah's profile phot and read her profile I got a good vibe. I reached out and we exchanged a few messages before setting an appointment for a few hours on Saturday so we could go out to dinner with friends. Me and my husband were still nervous, but as soon as we met Sarah the nervousness was replaced with a great feeling! Sarah exudes kindness and care. She sent us updates regularly -and photos! When we picked up Teddy, he was happy and calm. I just met Sarah, but I already love her! She welcomed Teddy into her home and I felt that we were at the start of mutually rewarding relationship. I highly recommend Sarah!”
“I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!”
About: My Fiancé, Olivia, and I have grown up around dogs all our lives. Olivia has had a Golden Retriever and English Springer Spaniel, while I grew up with a Border Collie, Cockapoo, and Mutt Lab. Over the past few years we’ve been watching our friends dogs and thought that this was a great way to get more puppy love. I am work from home, so I’m able to walk, play, and attend to the dog throughout the entirety of the day. Olivia is a teacher and at school during the day, but is around in the afternoons and on weekends. We are available most weekdays and some weekends to watch pets! We live in an apartment building, but I frequently go on walks and leave the building throughout the day. We can walk to dog beach if your dog is super social, or we can stay in the neighborhood, or go to Fletcher Cove to hang on the lawn.

About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.
About: Hello! My name is Kirk, and am a lifelong animal lover, experienced dog walker & pet sitter, trusted families throughout San Diego and North County. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you’ve come to the right place. I grew up with Black Labs and multiple cats as a child and have been around dogs, cats and other pets my entire life. As an adult I’ve had six dogs and three cats of my own ranging from large, medium, and small breeds, which has given me a great understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. About ten years ago I began pet sitting for friends and family, and over the past 6–8 years I’ve regularly cared for walked and pet sit for dogs and cats throughout the year. I’ve worked with playful high-energy dogs who need long walks, older pets who need patience and gentle care, and cats who appreciate a calm and attentive presence. I pride myself on being an attentive, dependable, and loving pet caregiver. When your pet is with me they receive extra attention, extra love, and extra care. I’m very mindful of safety, routines, and making sure each animal feels comfortable and secure. Whether that means walks, playtime, companionship, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I make sure your pet feels happy and well cared for. I also have many personal references here in San Diego from families whose pets I’ve cared for over the years, and I’m always happy to provide them. For me, this isn’t just a side job, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy building my schedule around providing reliable walks, visits, and care for animals. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention and time they deserve. During the day I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a longer walk, feeding, or some companionship while you're away. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and relaxed. For dogs, walks are tailored to their energy level, some enjoy a brisk walk and exercise, while others prefer a slower, more relaxed stroll. For cats, visits include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and spending time with them so they feel calm and cared for. I try to keep my calendar updated regularly and respond quickly to requests. My goal is to be dependable and make scheduling easy so you can feel confident that your pet will receive consistent, attentive care. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make the experience calm, safe, and enjoyable for them while giving you peace of mind while you're away. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to follow the schedule and preferences you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure. A typical visit or walk begins with a quick check-in to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and relaxed. For dogs, this usually means a walk that matches their energy level, whether that’s a fun, active outing or a slower stroll around the neighborhood. After the walk, I make sure they have fresh water, settle them comfortably, and spend a little extra time giving attention or play if they enjoy it. For cats, visits include feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, and spending time with them in whatever way they prefer—some cats love playtime and attention, while others simply appreciate quiet companionship. I keep things clean, organized, and respectful of your home while I’m there. I also send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re being well cared for. Above all, you can expect reliability, patience, and genuine care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to make each visit positive, safe, and comforting for them.

Barbara was attentive to their needs and honored all my requests. I felt instantly at ease upon meeting her and will definitely use Barabara again!”

Our little doggo was super happy to have her come take him for a quick walk, pee, & poop. Thank Brittney for taking care of our pets so well. We can tell you really love animals of all types.”
“Julie was GREAT! She is everything you want in a dog walker. She walked and played with my puppy Piper. Julie was very responsive, accommodating and you could tell a true dog lover. She sent several photos where Piper was happy and playing with her toys. I will definitely use Julie again to watch Piper. Thanks Julie!”
“Ellyn saved the evening when my absent-mindedness forgot I had an event tonight and Gretel would need a walk and dinner. Always reliable and a real pleasure - Ellyn is so great with my spicy little girl. Thank you Ellyn!!!”

“Analisa was able to take my last minute walk booking which was wonderful. She sent a lot of photos during his walk and followed clear instructions about my pups needs! Would book her again.”
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

“Great stay for Juniper! She had a wonderful time being loved and cared for and made herself quickly at home. We were given photos and brief updates for her short stay to let us know everything was going well.”
About: I’m a dog mom with many years of experience taking good care of pups of all ages and sizes. I work from home with an extremely friendly dog of my own so your dog will have company all day and night! I work fully remote with a flexible schedule. Your dog will always get a morning walk with mine, potty breaks whenever needed, and I can accommodate any feeding schedule. I’m available to provide daycare and board most weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced backyard patio for potty breaks and time outside. Your pup will have free rein in the house with a doggy playmate. I generally do not crate or cage my dog when I’m out of the house, but can separate your pup as needed based on your requirements. I have cameras in my home for monitoring so I can always check what the pups are up to!
“Contacted Linda to watch Hazel for 10 days while we were out of the country. I had complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be in good hands after meeting Linda and her dog (Sammie). Was given updates while I was gone and was extremely satisfied and would recccomend her services to friends and family looking to board their dog.”
“Linda and Zach were great to Noodle!! They sent me photos, were extremely responsive and my pup was nice and tired from his stay. Would have them watch Noodle again! 😌”
“Thank you for always taking such great care of Billie. Your dedication means so much! I also appreciate the detailed updates—it’s reassuring to know how Billie is doing and that he’s in such good hands.”
“Michael was conscientious and communicative from beginning to end. He has a gentle energy, and I trust that Whitley was well cared for in his home. Michael's family were part of that care too, and I am grateful they were all willing to companion him for the 6 days I was away (he's a needy boy lol). It was my first time leaving Whitley with anyone except my son since I got him 3 years ago, so it was a big deal for both Whitley and me. I would definitely have Whitley stay with him again.”
“Brooke is our go-to puppy sitter. I always look forward to her photos/videos. It’s like a professional photographer is capturing my pup’s best moments! And my puppy always comes back to us super happy - like she’s stayed with a family member who loves her. You can really tell Brooke loves animals, I fully trust her with my dog!”
“It was our first time leaving a dog with someone. Alix was great. We received regular pictures/videos while on vacation, and our baby obviously had a great time there. Lots of loving human company and fun socializing with other dogs! We feel really fortunate to have found Alix!! Will definitely be repeat customers!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Skyler, a recent University of Michigan graduate spending the summer in Solana Beach before moving to NYC in September. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ve provided dog sitting, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, and medication for dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve dog sat for many families through local Facebook groups. My own dog had epilepsy, so I have personal experience caring for a dog with medical needs, including administering medication and recognizing when extra attention is needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!! :) I have a flexible schedule this summer and am available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I have plenty of time to provide walks, drop in visits, overnight stays, and lots of attention, playtime, and care for your pets. I always follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, meals, and any medications they need. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect that I would my own.
“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!”
“My puppy came home cleaner than ever, well-behaved, and with just the right amount of energy! Cindy and Todd sent me the cutest photos and videos of our dogs together during the stay too. 10/10 would board with them again!”
“I have never seen my dog happier after a stay at a stranger's house. My dog is grinning ear to ear because Jane was fabulous. She understands dogs well and made my dog feel incredibly comfortable.”

“Maple enjoy her stay with Elizabeth and I got pictures at least twice a day of her walks and little excursions. Elizabeth was flexible, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond to texts. We would book with her again.”
