“This was Willow’s second time staying with Araceli, and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to come home! Araceli is the best, her manner with pups and her joyfulness with being a sitter is what makes me effortlessly comfortable to leave my Willow with her. Willow loves her “Tia” and she’ll be back!”

“Jennifer was so great. We had our wedding that weekend and some plans for my dog ended up changing and we needed Jennifer an extra day. She was flexible. She took such great care of my Navi and sent daily pics. She was communicative and very kind. We really appreciated her.”

“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”


“Claudia is amazing! She is very thoughtful, considerate, and detail-oriented when it comes to dog sitting/boarding. My senior pups loved her. Highly recommended!”

“Anna was amazing watching my dog Willow for the first time. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her after just moving to San Diego, but Anna immediately put me at ease. She was so kind and treated Willow like her own, letting her relax and feel comfortable in her home. She kept me updated and sent great pictures that made me really happy. I truly appreciated her communication and care—would absolutely recommend her! She’s wonderful and you can see how much she loves and cares about dogs! Willow had a great time!”

“Benjamin was absolutely the best! He was responsive, kind, and so easy to work with. Our baby Salem adored him and loved having a new furry best friend to play with. We always felt she was safe and cared for, and we appreciated the thoughtful updates along the way. When we’re back, we’ll definitely book with Benjamin again and recommend him to all our friends with furry babies. Thank you, Benjamin, for being so wonderful and for accommodating us on such short notice!”

“Robin & Rahn are amazing! Our dog, Mookie, had the best time. We received tons of pics and videos throughout the weekend - plenty of walks, exploring and playing fetch! We couldn’t recommend them more ☺️”


“Chau is awesome! Our two dogs did great in their stay with her for almost two weeks! She walked them and took great care of them. We also really appreciated her sending us pictures and providing a quick update throughout our trip. It did a lot to ease the worry of leaving them for so long with a new caretaker. We will definitely be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her!”
“Haylee was a excellent ? sitter. Made us feel comfortable and sent us daily pictures of our dog. She responded quickly to our texts and our dog enjoyed his stay. We will definitely use her again.”

“Mihaela is our favorite sitter we have found on rover. She is so sweet and takes such good care of our Ollie. She also sends the best updates. Thank you for all that you do Mihaela!”

“Alex took excellent care of my dog, Donna. He was very communicative and flexible. I would definitly book him again next time Im in the area. Thanks, Alex-you rock! Mark”

“My son is new to the area and needed to be gone overnight. We don't[ know anyone in the city so we opted to find someone on Rover to help. Phillip did an awesome job with my son's dog. He was extremely accommodating and sent pics and updates throughout the day. Cato went on plenty of walks and got lots of fresh air. I will definitely use Phillip again, he is an amazing dog sitter and Cato was well taken care of.”

“Kaitlin & Verle took amazing care of our dog Punky. She clearly loves it there, and they are very attentive, caring, and communicative--can't recommend highly enough!”

“Monique was wonderful with caring for our English bulldog who needed a lot of attention. She did far & beyond our expectations. This is our first experience leaving our dog with someone else & she made us comfortable & confident. Regular communication & updates & pictures helped a lot. We will definitely use her again!”

“Cannot say enough incredible things about Shana!! It felt like I was leaving my pup with family! She gave so many updates, was super friendly, flexible for travel schedules, literally wish I could give more than 5 stars! Will definitely be going back whenever I need someone to watch my girl 🥰”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balboa Park
Melissa was so great with our Maisy girl. This was the longest she’s been away from us and Maisy came back calm and well groomed and well fed and happy as can be. We got photo updates every day and we couldn’t have been happier with how maisy was cared for. We will absolutely be reaching out to Melissa anytime we need rover care again.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Vanessa watching Rojo in her home. Caring for an older dog requires a lot of patience, attention, and gentle care.Vanessa went above and beyond in every way. She provided regular updates throughout the week, which gave us peace of mind. Her home was an absolute sanctuary for him, especially getting to spend time alongside her sweet dog and son. It felt like a true home-away from home. Her flexibility, kindness, and genuine love for our dog are appreciated. We are so grateful for her care and would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy pet sitter!

Dice did an amazing job caring for Finnley and Max while I was away. Neither of them was feeling well, so I was nervous about leaving them, but she was attentive, compassionate, and made sure they were comfortable and well cared for. Her updates gave me peace of mind, and I’m so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. I would absolutely recommend Dice!

Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.

Evan & Paola were awesome. They made Skye feel right at home and their communication was fantastic. They even made her a birthday cake and made her day special which I appreciated the most. They made everything very easy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs an all around dog sitter.

We had a wonderful experience with David as Oreo’s dog sitter! Oreo stayed with him for two days, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe and well cared for. David did a great job keeping Oreo safely separated from the other three dogs in his housr, which gave us peace of mind. He also kept us updated every day with pictures, which we really appreciated while we were away. We brought Oreo home happy and safe with no issues at all. Thank you, David, for taking such great care of our girl! We would definitely trust you with Oreo again. 🐶❤️

100% recommend booking Molly. She watched our dog in her home for three nights and I felt like Paddy was in a safe, comfortable and happy place. She is clearly an animal lover. We had some specific requirements about our dogs interactions with others and Molly followed them perfectly, which I hugely appreciate.

Elba and Casey were awesome! They were patient with Rizzo and I can confidently say Riz had more fun with them than she does with me! Elba was super communicative and provided tons of pictures and videos as well as daily updates. Their place is clean, quiet, and dog friendly and Riz felt at home right away. I'd definitely have them watch Rizzo again in the future!

Ilsa is amazing! She took wonderful care of our young puppy! She provided photos and videos throughout the time she had him and also made sure he was safely exposed to so many different things while we were away. Even with a last minute flight delay, she added an extra night for us and was so understanding and flexible. We will definitely rebook with her for our future boarding needs. Thank you Ilsa!!
