Claudia was punctual and walked our girls around our neighborhood. She was super sweet and patient with our 5mo old puppy. Will definitely hire her again!

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, and providing playtime. I’m comfortable with different sizes and personalities and always make sure pets feel safe and happy. I’ve made room in my schedule specifically for dog walking, so I can give each pet my full attention and keep a consistent routine. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by keeping dogs on leash, avoiding unsafe areas, and paying close attention to their behavior. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for.

Very reliable, a genuine animal lover! Alex takes lots of pictures too, so I know Gertie had fun. Being a puppy Gertie is a handful and we really appreciate the help.

About: Hello! My name is Savanna, I live in Vista but I’m able to travel reasonable distances to care for your pup! I’ve taken care of animals for over 7 years, including birds, cats and dogs (including seniors), rodents and reptiles, too! My services include grooming (ex, bathing, ear and teeth cleaning, brushing). I’ve even volunteered at numerous animal shelters. I also have experience with anxious pups, specifically dogs with separation anxiety. Unfortunately, due to physical health issues, I can’t walk dogs for more that 15 minutes at a time. Before coming to watch your furry friend, it’d be really helpful for me to know about their temperament; are they dog friendly? Do they get nervous around strangers? Do they have any health issues I should be notified of? And anything else you want me to know about them! I’m excited and eager to take care of your fluffy family member and will do my best to make sure they get the best care that I can give them! I am currently working a part time seasonal job at the Moonlight Amphitheater in Vista, nights are busy but I am extremley flexible otherwise and in the off-season. I do not currently offer my own in-home care services due to leasing issues and for my own dog's mental and physical health.

About: I share joint custody of my 10-year-old senior cockapoo who is currently losing her vision. Walking alongside her through this transition has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to build confidence in dogs who need a little extra support. I’ve helped her safely navigate her world while keeping her routine consistent and reassuring. Caring for a senior dog has strengthened my ability to read subtle cues, adapt to changing needs, and provide calm, steady care. Whether your pet is young and energetic or a senior who needs gentle guidance, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and dependable environment for them. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available early mornings and late afternoons. This gives me the ability to provide consistent, unrushed care and be fully present during walks, visits, and check-ins.

BEST DOG SITTER/WALKER EVER!!! My dog adored her and she took the happiest photos of my pup. I don’t know how she does it, but my dog looked as happy as the day I brought her home! She took her time, extending the walk free of charge and she made the most of it, playing catch and walking far! They must’ve gone on some epic hike because they both came back out of breath lol. Highly recommend Ana!!

About: Freelance photographer and devoted animal enthusiast providing safe, attentive, and fun care for pets while you’re away. Experience training my own dogs and caring for senior dogs. I’m a freelance photographer and currently working part time remotely. Without a concrete schedule I have the flexibility to be with your animals throughout the day. I would care for your pets in your home so they can be the most comfortable and not have an interruption in their daily life.

Riley is amazing and I can highly recommend her for walking your four-legged buddy! She is very reliable, punctual, is easy to get in touch with, and most importantly, was so wonderful with my aunt and uncle's little cavapoo, Milo. And Riley is such a sweet person! I am booking walks for Milo from a distance and trying to work details out is not always easy, but Riley made it painless for me to help my aunt and uncle and MiIo. I am so grateful. Will definitely be booking Riley in the future!

About: I have been around animals my entire life and taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. My family and friends always have me pet sit for them when they are away. I have been around a lot of active and energetic dogs and I love going on runs with them! I stay at home 24/7, I don’t have a full time job so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your furry children. I am available all day everyday. I live in an apartment which has a good amount of space for furry babies to roam. I don’t have a yard but I have plenty time to take them out for walks or to explore. I will be with them the whole time and give them all my attention and energy.

About: Dogs have always felt like family to me. I grew up with them, cared for them, trained them, and learned early on that dogs need more than someone simply watching them. They need attention, patience, structure, and a home where they feel safe. Since I work from home, I’m around most of the day and can give your dog consistent care, walks, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs structure, or a little anxious and needs patience, I’ll do my best to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, treat them like part of the family, and keep you updated so you know they’re in good hands. I work remotely, so caring for dogs fits very naturally into my day. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get regular attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. I’m also flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your dog’s normal routine so their day feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. I keep my home clean, calm, and safe so dogs can settle in and feel comfortable while they’re here. I know every dog has their own routine, so I follow your instructions closely, including meals, walks, crate time, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I’m comfortable with crate training when needed, and I always make safety the priority, both at home and on walks. I’ll also send regular updates so you can relax and know your dog is happy, cared for, and doing well.

About: I’ve had animals in my life forever! Tons of experience with dogs and cats. I have two of my own dogs. I have veterinary technician experience and I am working on my pre-vet classes. If you want to do a meet and greet before I take care of your pup I’d be totally open to that. Happy to work with you! No job! I can work around you and your pup. I do my school online so it makes it easy for me to be flexible! I can do walks, play time, cuddles or feeding! I am also willing to work with small puppies or more difficult dogs that need more time. I have two herding breeds so I’m used to the crazy. I also have vet technician experience so I can handle more complicated situations

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of hands-on pet care experience. My faith has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, reliability, and caring well for every living thing entrusted to us. I have extensive experience house sitting and caring for multiple types of animals including dogs, cats, and birds, and I’m very comfortable managing homes with several pets at once. I also have experience caring for high-anxiety and sensitive animals and understand the importance of helping pets feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. Friends, family, and clients have trusted me for years to walk, feed, play with, administer basic care, and provide dependable companionship for their pets. I treat every animal like family and genuinely love creating a peaceful, trustworthy environment for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because animals have always been a huge part of it. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care, walks, check-ins, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when inviting someone into your home and caring for your pets. I always strive to create a calm, safe, loving, and dependable environment for every animal in my care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, routines, and any special requests to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also have experience caring for anxious and sensitive animals and know the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

About: I absolutely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ve taken care of a few dogs for friends and family, and it’s something I’ve really enjoyed—it’s so rewarding to see them relax and have fun. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’ll treat your dog like my own. My goal is to make sure you feel confident that your pup is in good hands and well taken care of while you’re gone. Pet care fits really well into my routine! I’m a teacher, so I have a consistent schedule and lots of breaks throughout the year where I’m home and have extra time to spend with your pup. I also don’t work Saturday through Monday, which means I can give your dog plenty of attention over the weekend. When I’m home, I love having a furry friend around to hang out with, and I only step out for short errands, so your dog will never be left alone for long. I have two dogs of my own who are very friendly and love playing with other dogs! They’re still young but well-behaved, fully potty trained, and up to date on all their shots. When caring for your pet in my home, I treat them just like my own- with love, attention, and care. I do my best to make sure they feel comfortable and happy, and I’m always willing to accommodate whatever routines or needs your dog has to help them feel right at home.

I had to travel but didn't want to kennel my two senior dogs as they are rescues and didn't do well in shelter. I decided to check out Rover and took the plunge to message Madison. She was very responsive and so I booked her to take care of my precious dogs. She was very kind and responded quickly to my many messages! She tools great care of my dogs and took them on long walks and was sure to give medication as requested. I highly recommend booking Madison. I will 100% be booking her again in the future.
