I recently been pled claudia for overnight stay for 8 days. This is the longest we been away from out dogs. Two husky's. She sent me pictures and texts as to what they did every other day. My dogs looked happy and relaxed. When I've had family look after them they are always anxious and stressed. Claudia, played, walk them and fed them while we were gone. I felt comfortable and enjoyed our vacation even more knowing they were in good hands. I will use Claudia for all future dog sitting/walking services.

Emily has turned into a first choice for our fur baby. She makes him feel like a rockstar with walks and cuddles and play time and his own photo shoot. Emily is the main reason I believe in Rover!

Joanne was very good w my two teacup yorkie’s! We communicated well while we were out. We r on vacation from Texas and so Joanne was super helpful to us so we can take a day to go to the San Diego zoo where pets not allowed. I will definitely recommend her.

Monica was fantastic! We needed a sitter for a few hours while we were visiting San Diego and staying at the Hotel Del Coronado. Our pup instantly liked her, which is fairly unusual. Lots of updates, photos and videos. Will use her again the next time we’re in town! Highly recommend for helicopter dog parents 😆

Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.

I highly recommend Enrique as a dog and house sitter! He was incredibly attentive to my dogs, making sure they were well-cared for, walked, and happy while I was away. He kept my house spotless, which was a great bonus. Enrique also communicated frequently, sending me regular updates and photos of my dogs so I could see how well they were doing. It was clear that he genuinely cared about them, and it gave me peace of mind to know they were in such great hands. I’d absolutely trust him again for any future dog sitting needs!

About: I have 10 years combined working with kittens and doggies. I’ve trained cats, but also dog walked and pet sit for 1 year. Happy to help! I’m available full-time to care for all fur babies both cats and dogs. It is my passion and happy to help many fur parents in San Diego. I take care of pets from the safety of their own home, by first doing a meet n greet so I can make sure we are a good fit, then I make sure to follow all directions from there fur parents. For dog walking and drop-ins, I make sure areas are secured before coming into their space and taking them out.

About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 6 years old. My family plus my extended family has always had dogs. I’ve baby sat dogs since I was in elementary school and I love to play and walk with dogs 🐶. Outside of the parents I will be your dog’s new best friend 😁 I’m a part-time ER nurse so I only work twice/week. I try to be as outdoorsy as I can and I’d love to have a good doggo companion to go for walks/runs with Dogs are family. Dogs here will be treated as such. I’ve always fed my dogs on a consistent schedule (your dog will eat on whatever schedule you want them fed) and I will take them for walks and I have a yard where dogs can run free and crazy!

About: Hi ! My name is Angel, born and raised in beautiful San Diego and I cant wait to meet your pups! 🐾 I've grown up around dogs my whole life. I've learned to care for them from an early age. After high school I knew I wanted a career in the veterinary field, to work closely with animals while contributing to their well-being. Im currently working as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital. I hope to one day expand my knowledge and become a registered veterinary technican! Ive worked in boarding and daycare facilities, learning how to read and understand cats and dogs just by their body language. I've worked in grooming, giving baths, and trimming nail. I've worked with all breeds of dogs, big and small, grumpy and cuddly. I've worked in a clinical setting, where Ive gained a lot of knowledge about different breeds and how to interact with with them. As a vet assistant, I have the knowledge of animal behavior, health, and basic medical care. This background allows me to provide attentive and responsible care. I guarantee genuine care and affection, and I strive to make sure your pet has an enjoyable, stress-free experience. Im currently working part-time at an animal hospital so I do have some availability during the week such as Tuesdays and Thursdays. Im also available Saturdays after 2pm and Sundays. I have a fenced in yard, as well as a fenced in pool. I have a german shepherd husky who loves to play fetch. Because Ive worked at a boarding/daycare facility, I know how to read a dogs body language. I know how to work different types of equipment associated with pet care from collars and harnesses to crates. Before entering any new enviornment for me or your pet, I always make sure that its safe for myself and your pet. I love to show affection to your dogs in ways they'll understand. Ill show them endless love and affection and care for them as my own.

We are so grateful to have found Dee! Our extremely shy-with-strangers cat even let Dee pet her a couple of times, which is a major milestone to us! Dee responded to our communications right away and thoughtfully sent us a video of her interaction with our Jett. We felt so reassured knowing she was here to mind both Jett and our home. We definitely will be asking Dee to stay again.

About: My family has owned dogs since I was little, so I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've taken care of pets for family and friends, from walking, feeding, and playing with dogs, to feeding a guinea pig and refilling its water bottle. I love animals, and I will make sure your pet feels well-loved and cared for while you are away. I've cared for dogs with special needs, including medication, potty-training issues, nervousness during thunderstorms, and separation anxiety. I'm willing to care for your dog's special needs if it requires this. Currently, I am available before 3pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and all day Monday and Thursday. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!

Karmelita took great care of our two dogs and our home while house sitting for us. One of our girls is very shy and timid around new people, but warmed up so quickly to Karmelita and we could see that she felt very comfortable with her while we were gone. I would re-book with Karmelita in a heartbeat and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
