“Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.”

“Our dog sitter of 6 years moved, and we were so nervous about finding someone new to care for our pups. We are so grateful to have found Robin & Rahn! Our dogs have stayed with them 3 times now, and are excited each time they go for a visit. We appreciate the love, attention, and care that Robin & Rahn give to our babies. They give us plenty of updates during each stay, and are very responsive.”


“Kat and Joe are amazing! At the initial meet and greet they asked lots of questions which made me feel reassured that my dog was in good hands. I really like that they post picture updates and are very active, taking her for walks to the nearby dog park. A friendly couple, easy to work with, and you can tell they really care. Highly recommend! ”
“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!”


About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!
“Maya enjoyed her stay once again! Thanks for taking such great care of her and sending fun updates of her day while we were out of town. She can’t wait for her next visit!”

“Murphy always has a great time with Zaira and Malik! Zaira sends so many updates and I can tell she really enjoys spending time with Murphy! Thanks for taking great care of her and showing her a good time!! Highly recommend them for your next trip!”

“Chris and Shane were great to work with an d tok great care of our Dolly . Dolly loved staying with them . We will definitely be having her stay with them again . Thank you both very much”

“We’ve left our dog, Jenkins, with Melanie a few times and each time she has been great! Easy to communicate with, sends us frequent updates, and Jenkins loves going to her place.”


“Kaitlin and Danny are pretty great! My Benji felt right at home there, and he gets along famously with their beagles. This was Benji’s first time with Kaitlin, and I could tell when I picked him up that it’s already his home away from home. I will definitely be booking again.”

“Madelyn was fantastic. We needed a pet sitter on very short notice and she jumped right in, was kind, conscientious, and sent us pictures and videos throughout our cat's stay. Highly recommend!”

“Sugar had a great stay and was well taken care of. We received pictures daily and Jennifer always responded to our messages right away. Highly recommend!”

“Michelle is amazing! She cared for our Blue as if he were her own. She took him on regular walks and always kept me updated with sweet messages and pictures. Her dogs were wonderful hosts too—they all welcomed Blue into their home with open paws! I highly recommend booking Michelle. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals.”

“Holly is amazing! So very communicative and reassuring during my pups over night stay with her. My puppy came back so content. Namathe and I look forward to seeing her again!”

“Sama was great! I reached out to her in advance about her watching our 2 senior pups while we were in the hospital delivering our son and she was super down to be flexible around his due date and take them at short notice. He came 5 days early and she was able to modify the stay and take them early that day. She sent daily updates and pictures and they were clearly very cozy and happy in her home. 10/10 would recommend.”

Jennifer was such an amazing dog sitter! She watched our two dogs for a long weekend, despite one of them still healing from a mass removal on his side. She took great care of him and his wound looked so healed when we picked them up! Our dogs clearly loved her and her boyfriend, and she sent us lots of great photos of the dogs snuggled up with them on the couch.

Sandra was absolutely awesome! Our original dog-sitting arrangements fell through right before our wedding in San Diego, and we were so lucky to find her. She was incredibly kind, accommodating, and made the whole process so much easier for us. She even went above and beyond by bringing Kazu to our cocktail hour so the three of us could take photos together on our special day! 🥹🤍 That meant so much to us. The three of us are so grateful for Sandra and everything she did for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Kazu!

Quiyonni and her family took such wonderful care of our girlie! It was incredibly comforting knowing she was not only well cared for, but genuinely adored while we were away. We loved receiving photos and updates—they gave us such peace of mind and helped us feel connected to her while we were gone. We would absolutely trust Quiyonni and her family with our girl again and would happily bring her back!

Duke and Lola absolutely loved Ilana and had the best time staying with her! 🥰 Before their stay, she took the time to do a meet and greet with us so she could get to know them, their personalities, and their routines, which we really appreciated. While we were away, she sent us tons of updates, photos, and videos that truly made our day and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and having fun. She took them on long walks, gave them plenty of attention, and Duke especially loved getting to go on car rides with her! 🐾❤️ We could tell Duke and Lola were comfortable, well cared for, and having an amazing time. We will definitely be booking with Ilana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pups!

May was great! My dog loved her instantly when doing the meeting session. She was wiggling and trying to rub up against her. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone. We've had her for a little over a year, but her previous owners abandoned her during their vacation. Luckily, she seemed to be just fine because she was with May. She sent us updates and didn't hesitate to send a picture or video if I asked how she was doing. They went on little adventures together. She went to the pumpkin patch and then had a Hawaiian day later on. It was great not having to worry about if she was okay. The only thing I had to worry about was if Tuesday would want to come home when we went to pick her up. It was nice feeling like my partner and I were having our own vacation as a couple, and Tuesday got her own vacation with May. The location is perfect for us. There are a ton of good walking areas that are pretty safe around where she lives. Her house is very clean and dog friendly as well. I didn't have to worry that she might get into something. She works from home which really helped since it was our first time leaving her. I'm happy to know that if we need a dog sitter, we will know where to go next time! We couldn't be happier with the whole experience. PS: her dog is out of town right now, but I think it comes back soon. She is just moving back from out of state. I was concernedTuesday would be lonely at first, but once I saw all the activities and photos; Tuesday didn't seem to mind. I am looking forward to them being able to play next time. :)

Bowie is always so excited to go to Maria’s. We are regulars now because we’ve had such fantastic service. I don’t think about leaving him with anyone else at this point, which is a relief. Just left him for two weeks and had continually updates every day as usual. I don’t have to worry about him ever, and can always see pictures and videos of him when I want to. Thank you for all you do, Maria!

First time on Rover because of horror stories I heard online. But decided to take a chance after reading great reviews with this particular sitter. Nikole and Ian couldn’t have done a better job, super responsive, gave us updates and photos throughout the day and really helped us feel confident without feeling anxious about how our dog was settling in or what she’s up to. Will definitely book again next time!

I was so happy to find Amy available for a quick weekend to San Diego. My Navi is so shy and introverted I wasn’t sure how she would be with another dog in the house, but I think it made her more comfortable. They went on long walks together and Amy sent lots of pictures of her enjoying herself. She even ate which she rarely does on “vacation.” I will definitely use Amy again in the future.

Gabriela was wonderful with Duke! She was patient, experienced, and matched his energy perfectly. Her bubbly personality and daily photos gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We felt 100% comfortable trusting her with Duke and would absolutely book with her again!

Mihaela was a wonderful babysitter for Nico! She was so thoughtful and attentive to him and made sure he was comfortable and had fun while we were away. We really appreciated all the updates and how detail oriented she was to following Nico’s diet and preferences :) Nico really enjoyed his time with Mihaela!
