House Sitting in West University Heights, San Diego

“Johnathan watched my fur babies for 5 days while I was at EDCLV, and he was seriously amazing! I was a little nervous about leaving them, but he totally put my mind at ease. He took such great care of them—feeding, playing, keeping them on their routine—and even sent me regular updates and cute pics, which I really appreciated while I was away. When I got back, the house was super clean, and my pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. It honestly felt like they didn’t even miss me that much (which is a good thing!). You can tell Johnathan genuinely loves animals and treats them like his own. If you ever need someone dependable and kind to look after your pets, I can’t recommend him enough. I’ll definitely be asking him to pet sit again in the future :)”

“Heather was absolutely amazing with my girl Maggie! From the moment we connected, she was incredibly communicative and attentive—asking detailed questions about Maggie’s routines, preferences, and even quirks. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she genuinely cared and wanted to make sure Maggie was comfortable and well taken care of. I felt totally confident (and honestly, very relieved) leaving the loml in her hands. Highly recommend Heather to anyone who wants a sitter who treats your pet like family! (She also sent a TON of pictures which really made my day ☺️)”

“Brittany was amazing!! We have 3 crazy rescue pups and she was so awesome with all of them and went above and beyond for us with the house. We absolutely recommend her!”

“Camille was the perfect sitter for our Percy, as well as taking care of the house while we were away. She clearly doted on our little guy and sent us pictures of their time together which reassured us that he was being well cared for. An excellent house sitter who left things better than she found them, we'd be thrilled to have Camille watch Percy and our house again!”

“This was the first time we had left our dogs with a Rover sitter and we were nervous! But Kaitie was amazing!! 5 stars for sure!!! 🌟 We had a great peace of mind during our trip, knowing our dogs were in the best hands. She sent us the cutest pics and updates throughout the two nights we were out of town. We have two pups, one is a senior. She is a bit high maintenance with multiple medications and stranger danger issues — but Kaitie administered her meds no problem and all went smoothly. Kaitie will definitely be our first choice for a sitter the next time we leave town! 💜”

“Jinni is great! We weren’t sure how our toy poodle would handle spending time with a stranger (he can be a little shy and this was our first booking). We were so happy to see him hanging out on her lap shortly after we left! Clearly Jinni’s calm, easy energy made him feel right at home. :) Highly recommend!”

“Alina took good care of my dogs while I was away for several nights over an extended weekend. She was fast at responding to messages and was great with communication and pictures. I appreciate her help and willingness to stay in my home to take care of my dogs.”

“I felt at ease with Frances being there. She stayed there entire time so I felt very comfortable! She loves pets & it shows! She even washed my sheets & kept me up to date on pet behaviors. Will definitely use again”

Laura S.

“This was our first time leaving our Weimaraner Freya with someone who wasn’t immediate family. She was a little bit anxious and Melissa was amazing at adapting the schedule to make sure that Freya felt the most comfortable. She sent updates and pictures which made us feel more at ease. We definitely will want to use Melissa again in the future!”

“Christie was a lifesaver for me! I had to extend a trip I was on and needed someone last minute to watch my pup. She was able to take on the job and made me feel comfortable having her watch my Lu. At one point, Lu was pacing at night from separation anxiety from me and Christie made sure to comfort her and even sleep on the couch with her! Highly recommend Christie and I will most definitely be using her again. Thank you Christie!”

James F.

“Justine took amazing care of my dog Henry. He is reactive and wary of new people but Justine took the time to make sure he was totally comfortable with her before she stayed with him. She is patient, caring, and really understands how to gain a dog’s trust. I would absolutely recommend Justine to care for your pet. She’s great!”

“This was our first time booking with Sabrina. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Would definitely book with her again in the future.”

Juli L.

“Kristin is amazing! She sent photos and communicated the entire time on my trip. I never had to worry that my dog and cat weren’t receiving the best care. I could tell she treated girls and home like her own. I also came home to a spotless house - so thankful!”

Lindsey M.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Amy was truly a dream. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She followed all of our instructions to a T—kept up with our pup’s training, stuck to her schedule, took her on long, enriching walks, and made sure she got plenty of love and structure. We received thoughtful daily updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Not only was our dog incredibly well cared for, but our home was left spotless and orderly—it honestly felt like we came home to a reset space. She met our needs and then some. We would book with her again in a heartbeat and feel so lucky to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you for taking such great care of Max!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, but fell in love with our adorable shelter mutt. Taking care of him, as he aged, was a full time job. He brought more love into our lives than I could have ever asked for. I learned to train him as a puppy, grow with him as he aged, and then care for him in his late stage of life. I'm the person who says hello to your dog, remembers the dog's name, and forgets the humans. I've regularly cared for friends pets, and look forward to the joy of getting to care for your pet! I am a dedicated pet caretaker and walker! There is plenty of time in my week to provide tons of care and love for your pet. Safety and security is paramount when caring for a pet. First, I always check the perimeter to make sure that the area of the home is safe, free of plants that may harm a pet, and free of areas where there might be security risks (fences broken). Ensuring that a pet is safe is my primary concern. Then ensuring that the pet feels safe with me, and gets to know me is crucial so that I can build a rapport with the pet. Their safety and security with me as their caretaker is very important!

“Sam did a great job house sitting our 2 dogs and cats while we were away! She was super communicative and kept our pups very happy. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Jennifer was awesome while we had a weekend away! She took great care of our dog and kept us informed of his well being while we were gone. I wouldnt hesitate to use Jennifer again!”

Gianna B.

“Jennifer is great! We have hired her twice and our dog loves her. Our home is well looked after when we are gone and we get thoughtful updates about how our dog is while we are on vacation.”

Alison B.

“Alyssa does a wonderful job taking care of our cat and dog! They are always happy and well-cared for while we’re gone, we get regular photos of them, and we come home to happy fur-kids! Our home is clean and we never have to worry if they are being taken care of.”
