About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I started pet sitting when I was 8 years old for our neighbors when they went out of town. I cared for their dogs, and a few litters of puppies. I have a deep rooted love for animals and their quirky personalities. I grew up with lots of animals in the house, multiple cats, frogs, and fish. I also spend lots of time at my aunt's house where they would have several dogs at a time. Playing with the dogs and running around the yard of some of my foundest memories. I currently have two cats, Mischka (13) and misty (12), and a dog Mikko (4). I’ve always been passionate about caring for animals. I have a B.S. in software engineering from CSUSM. A few years ago, I was living in NH, during that time I worked with Live Free Animal Rescue as an active foster. I was able to foster several dogs until I found their forever home I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to devote to caring for dogs and cats, plus I love to walk! In constantly working with my own dog on her obedience and mostly frequent businesses where she can join me. My dog is friendly toward people and other dogs. She loves to play! Since we live in an apartment, we frequent walks, and always have a leash on her when leaving the apartment. When caring for people’s pets, if I’m doing a home visit, I always check fences and doors to make sure their pets are secure.
“Ang took good care of my babies (cats and dog). They were happy and fed when I got home. My dog looked forward to Ang's visits each time! I appreciate knowing they were well cared for.”

“Eric was absolutely amazing not only was he great at communicating, sending photos, and overall greatness he also was available last min and I truly appreciated it! Thank you Eric will definitely use again!”

“Everything went great. Claudia’s updates made us feel better about the cat being alone, and we appreciated her attempts to get photos of our scaredy cat. She left treats and other toys scattered around so she could at least know if the cat was active in between drop ins, which was nice for us.”

“Jeanne did an amazing job taking care of my kitten! She took time to play and cuddle with him and he absolutely loved her! It made me feel much better being away from him especially when she gave detailed notes from her visits and shared the cutest pictures of him! Highly recommend using Jeanne for your pet sitting needs:)”

About: I’ve raised dogs, cats, bearded dragons, chickens, pigs, and taken care of other people’s dogs for awhile now. I love all animals and figured I could use my free time to help yours out! Im currently in between jobs so I have time. Long walks, cuddles, treats are all on the agenda. I really enjoy the company and love animals so much. Pups are safe at my home. So I’m available for day care, and possible overnights if discussed. Drop ins are no problem all day within a 10 mile radius of my work in Oceanside, and on weekends within a 15 mile radius of my home in vista.
“Michael was great with my dog with some playtime and walk time with my dog and he seemed to be happy kept me up-to-date and gave my dog a nice review. Recommend Michael. Will use in the future.”


About: I have had dogs for my entire life and am very experienced with all levels of care from walking and feeding, to administering medication and light obdience and potty training. I am highly attentive, comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and dedicated to maintaining your dog's regular routine so they feel safe and loved while you're away. My schedule is currently wide open for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups. I do ask for some advance notice, but I am open to accommodating same-day requests when possible. I provide a secure environment for pets in my home with at least 3 walks a day and plenty of engagement. I have a doodle who loves to have "sleepovers" with new friends. Safety is my top priority, so I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am fully able to accommodate any specific feeding schedules and administer any medications if required. I can provide the same level of service in your home as well, except I'll leave my doodle at home ☺️

About: Hi! We’re Karlee & Jordan, a dog-loving couple who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home while their family is away. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, which is why we treat every dog who stays with us as if they were our own. Because we work together, your pup benefits from two dedicated caregivers instead of one. We prioritize boarding in our home, where we can provide a calm environment, plenty of companionship, and nearly constant supervision. Whether your dog enjoys playing at the nearby park, relaxing on our private patio, or curling up on the couch for snuggles, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Animals have always been a big part of our lives, and caring for them is something we genuinely enjoy. Together, we have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from tiny companion breeds to large, energetic dogs like German Shepherds. Karlee has experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, fish, and birds. This experience has taught her how to recognize different temperaments, adapt to each animal’s unique needs, and provide patient, attentive care. Jordan has years of experience caring for both dogs and cats and is especially comfortable establishing routines, providing exercise, and helping pets feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. Together, we make a great team, ensuring your pet always has plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. We know every dog is unique. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply sticking to their normal routine, we’re happy to tailor our care to what makes them happiest. We’re also comfortable administering oral medications, following feeding schedules, reinforcing training routines, and accommodating any special instructions you provide. Our goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention we’d give our own.
“I felt safe leaving my cats in Misty's care, and when we got home they seemed happy and well takem care of. Misty was great at following my detailed instructions and sending pictures and report cards. I will definately rebook with her in the future.”


About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience as a dog owner, providing daily care including walks, feeding, and lots of love. I truly enjoy being around animals and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like part of the family. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time and flexibility in my day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I am fully available to give pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I take care of pets in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks, and receive plenty of attention and companionship so they feel comfortable and secure.

About: I’m an incoming Aerospace Engineering student at UC Davis and a Regents Scholar who takes pride in being dependable, organized, and trustworthy. In addition to several years of caring for my family’s three cats, I’ve also helped care for dogs by walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and providing general supervision. Professionally, I’ve worked with children ages 8–13, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, communication, and attention to detail. I understand the importance of following routines, keeping others safe, and earning the trust of families. Whether I’m caring for your pets or watching your home, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would my own, while providing dependable service and regular updates for your peace of mind. Pet care is my primary focus this summer, and I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide consistent care while respecting each pet’s normal routine. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I always make time for feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to provide updates and photos upon request so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big decision. My priority is keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine by carefully following all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if instructions are provided), and household preferences. I always use secure leashes during walks, pay close attention to my surroundings, and treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, locking doors and gates, and communicating promptly if any concerns arise. As an incoming UC Davis Aerospace Engineering student and Regents Scholar with professional experience supervising children, I take responsibility seriously and strive to earn your trust through dependable, attentive care.

About: I am kind and loving and gentle but firm when needed. Years of experience raising various pets and kids.

About: Taking care of your house, your pets, and your chores is something I take very seriously. I love it. My families make sure I am available first; then book their reservations.

Never introducing new toys, chews, activities, etc. These are your Pets and you know best!!
“Mimi went above and beyond caring for my sweet, super senior girl. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and noticed right away when something was off with my baby. She took her straight to the vet and her quick actions have given my baby the best chance to recover from a sudden medical emergency. She kept me updated on everything. She continues to check in and is just so sweet. I could not recommend Mimi enough!”

About: I have been taking care of pets for years, and I love spending time with all animals. I help friends and family when they are gone on vacations or even close neighbors who need their pets taken care of. I honestly have so much love for animals and believe they are the best friends for hoomans. I lost my old man in 2025, and definitely have a soft spot for the older ones, but enjoy the way puppies have so much energy as well. Whenever I had to leave my little guy with someone I just wanted to trust he was being loved and taken care of as I would if it were me, and that is what I strive to do for all animals I sit/walk for. People want to know their pet is safe and having a good time so they can enjoy their time and not need to worry, and that is my goal. I currently am working from home and have to occasionally meet clients outside of my home. My schedule is very adaptive to being able to walk, feed, play, or whatever is needed. I have a fenced yard and my house is very dog friendly and in my opinion they run the home. That being said if there are rules for your dog I will adhere to them as to not break any training they are currently in or have learned.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Vista
Jeanne is a rock star! She is super reliable, caring, takes amazing pet photos and writes excellent updates, often with humor and characterizations of our pet. We had an ant crisis and she handled it with expertise, good judgement, and outstanding communication! She handled several bonafide crisis with care, sensitivity and level headed decision making. Our cat absolutely LOVES Jeanne. We are so grateful to Jeanne and hope that she is available to us in the future. She is definitely our "go to" pet sitter. Kudos Jeanne!

We will absolutely use Lacy in the future. She was great at sending pictures and communication while we were away. She was always on time and provided that extra love and attention needed while we were gone. You would be lucky to have Lacy take care of your pets.

Mimi went above and beyond caring for my sweet, super senior girl. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and noticed right away when something was off with my baby.

She continues to check in and is just so sweet. I could not recommend Mimi enough!

If you on the hunt for a sitter but you’re apprehensive because you want to find someone who authentically enjoys your pets as much as you do, goes the extra mile at every visit and is someone you can place your full trust in with your pets and in your home when you’re away, Paris is that person. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I know my cats are in good hands when Alysa cares for them. I can tell my kitties adore her and that gives me so much peace of mind while we are gone. She is very communicative about everything she did each visit and always sends 10+ pictures each visit (and they are always so good hahah). Thank you so much Alysa!!!

Christianna was so great with my kitty 💛 We were out of the country for 2 weeks and I felt so comfortable knowing she was taking great care of our cat back home. She sent daily updates and photos and made sure she was brushed and got lots of love. We will definitely be using her in the future when we go out of town and I highly recommend her!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
