About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, energy level, and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially comfortable with large and energetic dogs and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I work from 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, but I’m available before or after work for pet care. I’m also fully available on weekends and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment and take the time to understand your pet’s personality, habits, and specific needs. I’m attentive to signs of stress or illness and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.
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 have a maltese that I brought home since he was 2 months old. He is now 12 years old, but he's currently back home with my brother in SF. I have a lot of love for dogs and am good with walking them, making sure they eat, and entertaining them. I miss my dog a lot and haven't been able to see him much, so the way I treat your dog will be nothing but love, care, and patience. I'm someone who follows instructions and rules well so if there's anything specific that I need to keep in mind about, you do not have to worry. I go on walks every day for 20-30 mins so would be more than happy to have your dog join me in exploring the neighborhood! :) I will be sending you updates via text (with pictures and videos) or you can let me know any other ways that can make you feel comfortable/updated with your dog! PS: I don't allow dogs to be on furnitures or in bedrooms. They will sleep in the living room for overnight stays.
“Laura is an amazing dog walker, she is very flexible with my work schedule and always makes sure my dogs are well taken care of! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog care!”
“Lauren has been one of my regular dog walkers for a few months now and we couldn't be happier! My dog loves her and she takes great care of him, paying attention to the little things, like making sure he gets enough water. Shes a great communicator and flexible with my changing schedule. Cant recommend enough! Thank you Lauren!”
About: From reptiles to rodents and four legged creatures, I cared for multiple animals that I think I considers myself Snow White…All jokes aside I truly adore animals and have nurtured them with all my love and patience. Although I am a college student ! My availability is open to any precious creature who needs care or even some attention for pet parents who aren’t able too, I am more than happy to provide that for the pet and the owner. It all depends on the clients needs, I’m able to adjust to any changes or specific requirements. Of course, if there is any concerns for the pets safety I would be willing to make accommodations in order to ensure their safety.
About: I am kind and loving and gentle but firm when needed. Years of experience raising various pets and kids. What you out in is what you get out when it comes to your pets I’m home other than running and hiking and being a mom taxi. I have a lot of free time during the week. I attend hikes on so long runs on Saturday mornings and I attend church on Sunday mornings and serve in kids ministry I currently have a beloved cat, so I do not offer boarding in my own home. I provide care in the client’s home where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions.
“Katherine did an excellent job caring for my pup kiwi! Kiwi has a lot of quirks, and Katherine accepted all of them with open arms. She was also able to give kiwi her medication after the walk, so I was very appreciative of that as well. She responded quickly and was very kind. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have gained knowledge how to learn their behaviors and boundaries. Friends and families have had me dog sit for them over the years. I’ve loved every second of it. I am currently on a leave of absence from work for personal reasons and have mostly full time availability. I am available at any time during the day besides late evenings. I won’t be able to host animals within my house, but I’ll feed, bathe, spend time with them, walk, play, clean up after them, and do whatever else to make the animals happy.
“My dog is in love with Nazareth. Nazareth is very caring and responsible. I recommend hwr for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker/companion. She is dog-tested approved by me and my dog 😊”
About: I’m highly active—dogs get walks, play, and mental enrichment. I respect routines, keep feeding on schedule, tidy up, and help every pup feel secure and loved. I’m currently not working at the moment and I have school online, so I am able to take care of your pets with much care and diligence. I provide loving, attentive care right in your home—following your pet’s routine, respecting their space and boundaries, and ensuring they stay comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
About: I’m a stay-at-home dog dad who’s had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. From tiny puppies to senior companions, I’ve loved every one of them. Our furry friend, Marshall, is particularly fond of small dogs, but he’s also a great playmate for larger dogs. A few weeks back, he made an instant connection with a 4-pound Dachshund puppy! They spent an entire 30 minutes playing together, completely ignoring the other dogs around them. I’ve been around dogs all my life, and I’ve also helped out friends, family, and neighbors with their pets countless times. I genuinely love all animals, and I’ll treat your pups like they’re my own. Marshall is a very happy 8-year-old rescue pup that we adopted with a front limp from an old injury. I doesn’t slow him down much and he’s always thrilled about the prospect of playdates and sleepovers. He can’t wait to make new friends and have some fun! I’m always here for your furry friends, available 7 days a week, home all day outside of a quick grocery run but in most cases I wait for my fiancé to get home. Rachel helps out on nights and weekends, so between the two of us we have plenty of time to shower your pups with all the love and attention they deserve. 😊 I have a nice front and back yard for pups to have space to play. Our home is very pet friendly and they are allowed on the furniture and to roam as they please. We have pet beds, toys, and bones. We are close to dog parks and hiking trails if your pup enjoys more exercise and playtime.
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.
About: i’ve had dogs in my life since i was in elementary school (huskies). i currently have two senior huskies that are 11 and 10, and they’re still full of energy! ive taken care of cats, little and big dogs. i’m a part time server so my schedule is never set but i definitely have a lot of time to tend to animals! mostly available Monday-friday. i work nights mostly on fridays and sundays. i have a decent sized back yard that is fenced in and i have two huskies that i mainly take care of. either walk them around the neighborhood or take them to the dog park! i have a doggy door that lets them come in or out whenever, water inside and outside, they also get to sleep wherever.
About: I’ve taken care of my siblings dogs for over 10 years and now I been raising my second Doberman. I’ve also taught her basic command (sit, down, place, speak, spin, leave it, off and stay) Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m a very active person and a Doberman owner, so my days already include structured walks, exercise, feeding schedules, and training time. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention are for dogs to feel safe and comfortable. I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention for every pet I look after I have a dog park in my apartment complex where I take my Doberman for play time. I also play games with my her to provide the mental stimulation which is something our pets need in order for them to be more relaxed.
About: I'm a Dad to a fully trained facility dog. I've got decades of experience taking care of furry friends of all kinds, and am a dedicated ear scratcher and belly rubber. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can usually adapt to your schedule. I'm available for a wide variety of care from 7 A.M. onward. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly, well trained golden retriever at home. I'm comfortable with whatever arrangements you need when taking care of your pup at your home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vista
I can't recommend Laura enough. She's been extremely reliable. She deeply cares about the animals and puts their well being and safety first. She's a wonderful communicator and I had absolutely no concerns leaving our precious family member in her care. We were very lucky to find her.
SHE WAS AWESOME!!!! Would 10000% hire her again to walk my babies. She went above and beyond in every step of the process for my 2 dogs. She was very kind and responded very quickly and with professionalism. Both of my dogs are super leash reactive and she had no issues handling them. One of my dogs is also a pain to get back in the crate, and she did great putting them away. I could tell in the photos and notes she left for me that she really cares about my pets! Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend choosing her as your walker.
Sam was wonderful to work with! Pepper is a little cautious around new people (she prefers to conduct interviews from under the bed 😄), and Sam was patient, kind, and respectful of her pace. Communication was excellent, and when Pepper unexpectedly got sick and we had to cancel the remaining walks, Sam was incredibly understanding and compassionate. We really appreciate her professionalism and look forward to working with her again when Pepper is back in Vista.
Katherine did an excellent job caring for my pup kiwi! Kiwi has a lot of quirks, and Katherine accepted all of them with open arms. She was also able to give kiwi her medication after the walk, so I was very appreciative of that as well. She responded quickly and was very kind. Will definitely be booking again!
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!!
Matt was amazing with our three pit bulls!!! The are usually very cautious especially with men, but there was something special about him that they we drawn to. They felt very at ease with him! He interacted very well with the fur babies and my husband and I! He’s very professional, punctual, and such a friendly and warm demeanor. We look forward to him joining the pack!
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.
Mireya was wonderful. We booked her last min and she just rolled with the punches. Great communication. Our little Cookie usually takes a LONG time to warm up, but she actually hung out and even ate her dinner for Mireya. Winston fell in love and I’m sure he can’t wait to see her again.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
