“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”

“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed.

Do not hesitate to request her services!”

“Madison and Moses are truly incredible!!! Just picked up our two bullies and they had the most amazing time with them. Their yard is like a little oasis vacation for the pups. They were great about providing updates and I didn’t have to stress one bit knowing they love my girls as if they were their own. We have definitely found our pups new best friends! 🩷”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”

I recently moved and was looking for a local sitter to build a relationship with so the dogs would be comfortable in my absence. I have found the perfect one. Unfortunately, in the midst of planning and being away, I lost my mother. Dustin and his family were beyond amazing in accommodating my needs. In addition, they were extremely caring and thoughtful. Though a sad and terrible time, they made me feel at ease knowing my babies were well taken care of while I was gone. I cannot say enough nice things about them. I will be using them in the future definitely! ”

“Kaitlyn did an excellent job pet sitting for my cat Cazzy. This is the second time I have used Kaitlyn and highly recommend her. She followed my directions and did a wonderful job checking on my cat for 2 weeks. Thank you, Kaitlyn!”
“Loren was able to make time to quickly pass by and make sure my cats can survive my absence for a week. Unfortunately I was cancelled on by a different sitter and Loren saved the day! Thank you.”
“Jordan was amazing! Our cat was clearly very well attended to, and it showed. Never before have we gone on a trip and NOT been violently accosted upon entering our home. Ginger is usually not satisfied until she has drawn my blood, and she is instead purring and headbutting me lovingly. Only affection from this fuzzy demon, which means she was well looked after.”
“Mariela took excellent care of our two kitties when we were on vacation. We got daily updates and photos, and we had peace of mind that our pets were in safe care while we were away. (This was our first time using rover.com to find a pet sitter.) Mariela was always very responsive to any texts. Thank you!”
“Maureen is beyond helpful, kind and knowledgeable when it came to taking care of my cat Kolo. I received very detailed updates on how he was doing and many useful pieces of information to better take care and make him more comfortable. Maureen really went out of her way to make Kolo feel comfortable, and even brought him toys, treats and a gift that I will cherish for a long time. I will be using her services again and feel very blessed to have had her take care of my cat. Would highly recommend to anyone!!”

“Shelby and Dalton took care of our 2 very shy, very aloof semi-feral cats. They followed the routine we had set up for them, and provided daily feedback and pictures! We would not hesitate to recommend them to others, or to have them back to cat-sit again.”
“We had a great experience with Kayla! She took very good care of Elka. She always checked in with cute pictures and made us feel comfortable being away from her. I was over all please with my experience and would recommend her to anyone! We would book again with Kayla!”
“Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)”
“I don’t know why Kathy doesn’t have any reviews because she’s the best! This is saying a lot for someone who doesn’t usually leave reviews. I booked her for a week while my family and I went on a vacation out of state. She is very honest, transparent, communicative, attentive, patient, and thorough with her care of our 3 cats. Not only did she make sure my cats are well-nourished and attended for, she also respected my house rules (for our privacy) which I greatly appreciate. Will definitely book her again. Thank you very much, Kathy!”
About: Family and friends have entrusted me to watch their pets as I have grown up with them myself. We have a dog and cat at home, both of whom are my top priority. I enjoy walking, playing, and most importantly, giving them the attention they so much deserve. Because I am a college student, breaks between classes make pet-sitting and walking convenient. I am also available during scheduled holiday breaks and in the summer. At your home, I am flexible with your pet’s needs. Whether outside or in, I can be your dog’s partner in crime (while safety comes first) and keep them company.
About: I have many years of cat experience under my belt. I've taken care of all different ages cats from a playful kitten to a calm senior kitty.

About: I've had cats all my life and I have a bit of a bias for them. I just moved from Texas from a house with five cats and I miss them all so much!

I also specialize in senior care as I’m willing to do anything needed to help your dog or cat be comfortable, eat well, and feel loved. I interact with each one as the unique individual they are.

About: Animals always gravitate towards me. I love how animals are like children. So innocent and sweet. I would love to help out busy families by walking or sitting for your dog. I am reliable and I overly communicate. I love taking videos and pictures of your pet and sending them to you and your loved ones . I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have had three dogs of my own, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also babysat and pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve cared for breeds including Goldendoodles, Maltese, Poodles, labradors, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and many more. One thing that sets me apart is my responsibility and dedication. I recently served as the ASB President at my high school, where I learned the importance of being dependable, organized, and someone others can count on. This fall, I’ll be attending California Lutheran University to pursue both my bachelor’s and then master’s degrees. I truly love animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individual attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping a familiar routine while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I would be honored to earn your trust and treat your pet like they’re one of my own. 🐾 I’m currently on summer break and in the process of preparing for my first semester at California Lutheran University, so I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll make sure they stay on their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule, provide plenty of love and attention, and always keep a close eye on them. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet, and I’ll communicate with you throughout the visit with updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
“Ben and Luke were great with Penny and she had such a great time with them! She had a blast playing with their 4 other fur babies. We'll definitely be a returning client. Thank you Ben and Luke for taking such great care of our baby.”
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for all kinds of animals big and small. Seizure disorder, elderly, puppies, high-energy dogs are all welcome! I am able to administer medicine and follow any particular rules you'd like. Between my husband and I we both are home Monday thru Sunday. Always home with our pups and yours! No kids or cats live here. Just a husband and wife and 2 amazingly friendly dogs. We have a large property with a fenced yard all around. We plan to use an AirTag for increased safety for all our doggy guests.
“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”
About: I am a pediatric physical therapist by day and aspiring stay at home dog mom all the time. I have two little furry monsters of my own, a rescue tripod and a pointer mix. I take them all over hiking, to the beach, to the park, and they would love the company of your little furry friends too! My dogs get free range of my house and yard when I’m home and a large open living area when I’m gone. I’ve had dogs all my life and love all of them, big or small. I’ve taught my dogs some tricks and continually work on reward based training for better behavior and obedience if you are interested in that during my time with your pup! Someone is usually home or in and out every day. We wake up early for breakfast and to play and go on walks. On weekends when we are home all day we like to go on adventures and the dogs have free reign of the yard all day, but we can also keep yours more contained if they are a flight risk! I have a fenced yard to play outside and we will go on walks in the neighborhood. My dogs like to meet new friends. At my house they are allowed on the furniture
About: I have 35+ years of animal care experience. My animal care journey started with taking care of rabbits, chickens, horses, geese and my own pet fish, birds, gerbils, cats and dogs.

About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.

“We knew our furbabies would be well-taken care of with Bailey. She is lovely and such a caring environment. Bailey sent photos and updates through it all- We highly recommend her!”
“Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!”
About: I am in the San Diego area currently working a remote job, looking to spend some quality time with dogs who need all the TLC they deserve but can’t get while their owners are away. I’m available for pet sitting, walking, and drop-ins! I’ve always grown up with a family dog in the house who I absolutely adored and have an undeniable love for all animals. I’d be available for last-minute help and cancellations are fine with me as well, so long as I’m given a heads up in an appropriate time in advance. I am a trustworthy, honest, and very reliable person. If you pick me to do the job, your pet would be in great hands and I would never let you down!
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”

I will follow all client instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, or making sure doors and gates are secure. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners by being respectful, reliable, and keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own space.
“Jennifer (and her husband, Chris) were such wonderful caretakers to our dog, Odi! She was so receptive to texts and sent multiple pictures throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing. I honestly think he was a little bummed to come home after all the fun he had exploring, walking and playing with their sweet dog, Harper. I'm very grateful to have found them and Odi will be thrilled with another visit someday.”

“Reviewing Loren for the 10 days she cared for our 2 dogs and 1 cat. Loren reached out after we first contacted Rover with a challenging 10-day assignment (our regular pet care fell through last minute). She contacted another Rover walker to cover shifts that she couldn't. She stayed in contact with us and was available while we were gone. Loren excelled at taking care of our pets, and let us relax while away. She followed instructions, and took incentive to notify us about any concerns with our pets or alarm system Thanks, Loren! —Kelly and Ted”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. From feeding my extended family’s pet to walking dogs and staying over night as an adult. Pet care is always a part of my daily routine. I have 2 indoor cats and 2 stray cats that come everyday to eat and lay around. I can easily make time to tend to other pets I tend to other pets with love attention, make them at ease as it can be a stressful time for pets when human parents are away from home.

“Alexis was awesome and very responsive as I contacted her the day before. She took great pictures of Mika and will ask for her. This is my first time using Rover and overall experience was great. Will be using her in the future again!”
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs within my family and my own friend’s dogs and cats as well. I have always liked being around pets of all kind. I am currently in the process of finding a part time job, so I can make time with any and all pets. This means I am available during any day and any time. At home, I have a dog named Ajax who primarily stays in our fenced in front yard. He has access to outside through my own room. His food and water bowl is set in my own room and he sleeps in my room as well either on my carpeted floor or my own bed. I refill his water bowl once a day or it depends on how dirty he makes it and only give him only a bowl of food a day.
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”
About: My name is Christina, i was born & raised in San Diego. Grew up in Normal Heights area. But now reside in El cajon area. I am currently a SAHM, so I would be with your dog all day. Living with me are my husband and 2 beautiful baby girls who are 5 and 3 I've always had a love & passion for animals. Growing up i had rabbits, lizards, beta/ gold fish, and dogs. I have experience in dog walking as i use to dog walk, via a ad i had on Craigslist about 4 yrs or so ago. Ive also attented and graduated from the veterinary assistant program from PIMA medical institute in Chula Vista. So i have some experience in the medical side of pet care.

About: For the past 14 years, my world revolved around my dog, Zuri. She recently passed away, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog into my life just yet, I realized how much I miss spending time with them. Caring for dogs has never felt like work to me. I’m naturally attentive, patient, and deeply attuned to animals. I tend to notice the little things; when a dog needs a slower pace, extra reassurance, more water, a sniff break, or simply someone calm to help them feel safe. Zuri taught me that every walk is the highlight of a dog’s day, not just another task to check off a list. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’ll care for them with the same love, presence, and respect I gave my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is safe, understood, and genuinely loved while we’re together. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications when needed, and understanding that every dog has their own personality, pace, and emotional needs. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy being active, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Walking has been an important part of my own life for years, and after losing my beloved dog of 14 years a few months ago, spending time with dogs has become something that brings me joy and healing. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision because I know what it’s feels like to love a dog like family. I always prioritize safety by following your dog’s routine, using secure leash handling, paying close attention to their body language, and adapting to their individual personality and energy level. Whether your dog is playful, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: Hi there! I’ve cared for animals of all ages in households with multiple cats and dogs, also including exotic pets. I grew up with a pet husky and miniature poodle, and have experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work in the morning/ early afternoon as a Barista ~20 hours a week. I am generally free early morning (before 8am), and afternoon-nighttime. I am off ~3 days a week (usually between Monday-Thursday) during which I can give extra time and attention to pet care. I have years of experience caring for and walking all kinds of dogs and am very attentive to the emotions and needs of each animal.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am a passionate pet lover. I provide personalized care ensuring your pets feel safe and cherished. I am an animal lover and with me they will have lots of playtime, like going to dog beach or taking a walk around Lake Murray. With me they receive empathetic companionship in a peaceful home. I am currently working part time as a yoga teacher. I have a good deal of time to pet sit. I am available to board Friday-Sunday, anytime after 1 pm. I also have availability to drive to your home Monday-Thursday for dog walks. I am a responsible, caring ,and loving pet sitter. I am dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your pets while ensuring their needs are met and feel comfortable and happy.
About: I am a dog-mom who loves caring for pets like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and sticking to their normal routine. I also have experience with senior dogs and can give supplements or medications when needed. Additionally, I have experience with puppies too since I raised my fur baby since she was only 8 weeks old. I work part time, so I have several days off during the week to focus on pet care. I enjoy making animals part of my daily routine and giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. Safety and comfort are important to me. I live in a condo with a balcony, so pets get regular supervised walks since there’s no yard. I do have a baby at home, so I’m very mindful about keeping the environment gentle, clean, and well supervised. In a client’s home, I follow your routine and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for.
About: I have been an owner of both cats and dogs all my life. 2 years ago I started pet sitting for friends and family. I love keeping pets company while their families are away. I’m comfortable taking walks, and giving medicine. I’m currently on summer break which allows me a completely open schedule. I normally go to the gym in the morning then come straight home. Friends may stop by but don’t stay for too long. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly neighbor hood with an open patch of grass. My house has lots of space, A/C and anything else a pet may need.

“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
