“Araceli was amazing she took my dog on in very short notice for the holiday weekend. Very kind, clean home very dog friendly. She treated my dog as if she was her own. She gave updates which was very appreciated. I would 100% book again with her. Thank you so much Araceli.”

“Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!”

“Robin was an outstanding choice to watch our fur baby! You can tell that she really loves dogs and was happy to have Trevor at her home. She is an excellent communicator, responded to our messages quickly, and kept us updated with daily pictures of our pup. He was definitely loving his multiple walks and extra attention. I would happily book Robin again!”

“PJ loved staying with Emily so much! Emily sent me pictures and videos of PJ getting lots of hugs and cuddles. I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.”

“I’m very glad to have had Ken take care of my lab, Renzo. From our initial meet-and-greet, he was very kind, and we had an extensive conversation about our expectations and Renzo’s needs. He was very accommodating and sent me several updates and pictures while I was away. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets.”

“Phillip is one of the best dog sitters I’ve found on Rover! He is very attentive, follows care instructions, and was super accommodating to our booking and requests. Thanks for taking such great care of maya and keeping her so active during her visit!!”

“Mihaela did an amazing job watching my doggo. My dog is senior so she needs more care, and she was very attentive, kind, and kept me informed. Highly recommend her!”


“Chau was highly communicative during our dog's stay, and had us over for quick visits ahead of time to check the fit with her pups and help ours get acclimated ahead of his stay. Our pup enjoyed the other doggos and getting to run in the nearby park.”

“Our dog Poppy had a great stay with Benjamin! She was exhausted when she got home which shows she had a great time! Benjamin was very easy to communicate with and was very responsive and sent us a few pictures of Poppy during her stay. We will definitely book with Benjamin again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home, so your pet will have my full attention all day long. I currently have a cat and a 15 year old senior dog, so I truly understand the bond we have with our older furry friends. Since I care for a senior dog myself, I’m very comfortable with medical needs. I can easily handle: Injections (like insulin) and any oral medications. Special diets and strict feeding schedules. Senior care for pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. Because I’m home 24/7, I can provide constant companionship and as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be treated like family here I work from home full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule. Your pet will have my companionship 24/7, with constant supervision and as many potty breaks or walks as they need throughout the day A typical day includes lots of cuddles, mental stimulation, and fun games. We will explore the nearby park and enjoy long walks. Since I’m always home, I can strictly follow any feeding or medication schedules your pet requires
“Alex took great care of my dog over Christmas! He included my dog in his family holiday plans so he got even more attention and fun! He was also able to accommodate a last minute change in the schedule and add a couple extra days for the stay. I always appreciate Alex’s prompt responses and great communication, I know my dog is in great hands with him!”


“Alisiene is the best. We were nervous about boarding our dog for the fist time, but her stay with Alisiene could not have gone better. Our dog had a wonderful time, Alisiene kept us updated with pictures and reports, and we were surprised at how calm and comfortable our dog was when we picked her up. Wonderful experience all-around.”

“Winston had a wonderful time staying with Xochi. She sent me regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Our pup was so happy when we picked him up. We will definitely be booking with Xochi again!”


“This is a kind and caring couple who looked after my puppy for one night. They thoughtfully texted me updates on my puppy’s condition, including his feeding schedule and sleep times. Their attentive and loving attitude demonstrates how genuinely they care.”

“Madelyn was incredibly communicative and provided photo updates throughout our pup’s stay. It was our first time using Rover and she made it such a smooth experience from drop off to pick up. Highly recommend booking with her!”

“Michelle provided an amazing stay for our pup while we were out for a week. She was quick to respond, extremely flexible and provided great updates. If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend using Michelle’s services.”


“Thank you Fatima, for taking such good care of Ruby! She loved your big back yard, the other dogs she was able to meet, and chasing squirrels! She came home healthy, happy and relaxed. I appreciated the frequent photos and updates.”

Cole was fantastic with my dog Molly. He made the entire process incredibly easy from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout my trip with regular check-ins and did everything he promised. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Cole again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

So grateful to Ilsa for taking such great care of Leo while we were gone for 3 weeks. We arranged a half day trial before the trip to make sure it was a good fit and he would get along with her other pets and Ilsa was super communicative. While on our trip, she truly treated him like her own and sent us photos and updates throughout the time he was with her. She is someone who is so loving and knowledgeable with pets and I highly recommend her!

We had a great experience having Matthew watch our dog Beans for a whole week while traveling abroad. I'm always worried about Beans being in a new environment because she has a lot of reactivity issues but Matthew handled her with great care. We got multiple updates and communication was easy. Super grateful to find someone we can trust with our beloved Beans. <3

Brittany was wonderful! She has a backyard with plenty of space for our pup to run around and play, and it really seemed like he had an amazing time. She kept us updated consistently throughout his stay. It was clear Guillermo was well cared for and happy. We can't wait to have Brittany dog sit for him again in the future!

Nicole treated my pup as if she was her own and made her so so comfortable during her stay! She kept me updated with so many pictures & my pup looked like she was on cloud 9 the whole night!! Will absolutely be booking with Nicole anytime I need a pet sitter! And her pup Frankie was so friendly and now the pups get to be best friends!! Can not recommend her enough !!!

Isis was absolutely amazing with Romeo! She was incredibly attentive to his needs and made sure he was well cared for the entire time. I really appreciated all of the photos and updates she sent, they gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and comfortable he was. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely love her to sit for Romeo again. Thank you Isis 🤍!

Daniela was great!! The drop-off and pick-up process were really easy. She communicated well, and I could tell that my dog was comfortable and cared for the whole time he was there. We will definitely reach back out to Daniela and her husband when we are in the area again.

Kelly rocks! My dog gets anxious away from home and Monique created a calm and welcoming environment. He's also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. She was able to ensure he was taking his meds and eating. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication-lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can't recommend Kelly enough!

Emmanuela was such a good sitter to our 2 year old Great Pyrenees mix. We are new to San Diego and were anxious about leaving our baby with strangers. But when we met Emmanuela she reassured us we would receive updates and that he would go on plenty of walks with her and her boyfriend. This made us feel even better knowing he’d have a couple watching him like he usually does at home. Since moving from Texas, our boy has missed his balcony time and he got plenty at Emmanuela’s. We’ll be recommending her services
