“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”


About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I provide dog walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and drop-in care based on each dog’s individual routine and comfort level. I’m very patient with shy or nervous dogs and always let them warm up at their own pace. I’m also comfortable adjusting walks for senior dogs, dogs with joint or mobility issues, or pups who need shorter, slower outings. Safety is always a priority, and I send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your dog is being cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I run my own dog walking and pet sitting business, so my schedule is built around the pets I care for. My weekdays usually include regular walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I make sure to leave space in my day so I’m never rushed. I plan my week around my clients so each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and love. I try to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you’re away. I follow whatever instructions you leave for feeding, water, walks, potty breaks, medications, litter boxes, playtime, and anything else they need. I also send pictures and updates so you know how they’re doing and can feel comfortable while they’re in my care.
“Kati is fantastic! She has a good head on her shoulders and knows the right thing to do without any fuss, but also follows all directions given. We will be booking with her again!”
“Carla is the most amazing caretaker! I left her with one senior cat-very difficult. Also another middle aged cat. I left my two cats with her for 21 days, and when I got back Leo looked better than when I left him! I honestly believe he didn't want to leave Carla's. She is also very kind and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend this gem of a cat sitter one thousand percent! You can leave your feline with her with no worries.”
“Claudia is so amazing! She took such good care of my Luna! She went above and beyond what was asked of her and was able to accommodate my last minute booking. She is timely, responsive, friendly, genuinely loves dogs, and will go the extra mile for you. I could not have asked for a better dog sitter for my first time using Rover. Thank you, Claudia!”

“Paris watched our 7 month old kitty Rory while we were out of town for a few days. Everything went great; she was super communicative, sent a lot of pics and updates, and made sure to give him the space he needed to feel comfy and settled in. Then she even sent him home with a little gift bag! Would definitely book again :)”

About: I have had 12 years of hands-on experience caring for all different kinds of pets. Whether it’s providing gentle care for my senior dog, caring for hyper hamsters and giving them the best lives possible, or watching my friends and family’s pets, I prioritize the furry friend’s comfort and happiness. I value plenty of playtime and cuddles and am committed to treating your pets as if they were my own! I recently graduated from college with my bachelor’s degree and currently work at Dutch Bros Coffee! My work schedule is fairly flexible, and I often work early mornings, leaving plenty of time throughout the day for pet care. As a pet parent myself, caring for animals is already a big part of my daily routine. I love spending my free time making sure furry friends get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, so I make sure to follow your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite activities. I’m respectful of your home and committed to providing a clean, safe, and stress-free environment. I’ll also send regular pictures and updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands!

About: I am a registered veterinary technician. I am proficient in medication administration and cpr as well as caring for a range of cats and dogs. Always been passionate about fear free and avoiding reactivity. In school for finance and looking for a way to make some extra money. My school is asynchronous. I’m working part time i have some sporadic 6 hour work shifts. So it’s very flexible for me right now. All animals deserve respect. I am a gentle animal lover who always treats animals with the utmost kindness and best care I can provide. I take great pride in quality of pet care.
“I had an amazing experience with B this past weekend while I was at Coachella. She was incredibly attentive, clearly cared about the little details, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent lots of great photos of my cats, which I loved, and kept consistent communication the entire time. It’s such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again, highly recommend!”

About: I love dogs and cats! I own one of each, and have fostered about forty. I have learned great leash-training skills, and behavior management of fearful dogs to help them feel more comfortable. I am fit and enjoy exercise, so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or even hikes! I can also administer treats on a walk if a dog needs some leash-training. Most importantly, I will treat your pup with kindness and affection. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the summer and holidays. For care in my home, I only live about five minutes from work, making it easy for me to check on animals during the day. For care in your home, I bring my own dog with me overnight. She is good with other animals. I am currently home full time for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside and love to take dogs for walks. I am also happy to chill inside and relax and give scritches. In my home, I have a secure fenced yard outside and a large crate available inside. At others’ homes I am respectful of my surroundings and treat all animals and property with great care.
“Lindsay is great! She was very communicative and asked clarifying questions when needed, sent over lots of pictures and our cats were comfortable with her right away. Recommend!”

“Vivian took wonderful care of my kitten, Hanny, while I was away for the weekend. She kept her fed, clean, and entertained and was a great communicator! We appreciate you so much!”

About: I have long experience caring for cats and dogs. We have wall-mounted and solid wood cat trees, plus separate private quiet rooms for cats who feel nervous around other felines. For dogs, they get a minimum of three daily walks to the dog park on rain-free days. We offer premium bathing equipment with professional grooming supplies. Fresh food can be prepared for dogs with your approval. I will send daily video updates so you can check on your pet anytime. I am a student and available full-time every day, weekdays and weekends. I handle all pet care tasks, including dog walks, feeding and looking after cats. This minimizes unattended gaps and ensures consistent, proper care for your pets. I live in an apartment. I have a separate private room that works for shy pets or multiple pets. If I host a timid pet, this room will be reserved exclusively for them. Multiple pets can stay in this room if crates are provided. I have spare crates available if you do not bring your own. Crating is optional; I can skip crating based on your preference and your pet’s temperament. There is also an open area in my living room for dogs and cats. All cat trees and pet toys are accessible to pets at all times, and I will not keep them confined to a room constantly.

About: I’ve looked after neighbors dogs and family friends dogs for years. I’m knowledgeable in canine body language so I can read their comfort levels and ensure they aren’t getting overwhelmed. I am very proficient in bathing dogs, I get dogs with double coats deshed and curly coated dogs brushed out. I am currently working part time at a dog grooming facility, but I have few hours. I would have plenty of time to play or lounge with your pups depending on their needs. If your dog is low energy, I would be more than happy to just hang out and play low impact games with them. For my high energy buddies, I would be happy to (with pet parent permission) take them on a trail hike or play ball.
About: I treat every furry friend like family. I provide care for friends of all ages, from littles to seniors, with the same love I'd give my own. I am available whenever your friends need me because my schedule is completely open. I have the flexibility to prioritize their specific routines every single day. I provide care in your home by following your specific routine and treating your friends like family. I offer walks, feeding, and plenty of love.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Valley Center
Josh was great and I booked last minute since I just moved to the area. I had a bad experience with a previous pet sitter which left me traumatized and Josh understood that and ensured he would take good care of my cats. I appreciate the check ins and pictures and it helps put me at ease when I am away from home. Overall it was a good experience especially being so last minute and despite a few of my cats being very shy he tried to make sure they all were fed and well taken care of.
