“Oliver loved his time with Taylor and their dog Benny! I picked up a very happy and tired dog at the end of the day. Taylor was also very accommodating to my schedule and was a great communicator. You could tell she really has a soft spot for dogs and wants to do whatever she can to make them comfortable and happy! We can’t wait to use her again!”

“Julia was so great!! She bonded with my dog right away and kept her comfortable the whole time, sending me lots of pictures even though it was just a few hours of dog sitting. She made sure to let me know how my dog was doing. I’m definitely going to use her again, and I highly recommend her!!”

“Michelle was great with our anxious senior pup! He has separation anxiety and she created a very calming environment for him to hang out at and had a great system to ensure that he was comfortable. She was communicative and easy to plan with. We’ll definitely book with her again!”


“Todd and Bill are great; they set up a meet & greet and made sure my pup got along with their dogs. I already had a stay booked for a few days later this month, but needed doggy daycare for a day while I went up to Disneyland. They were flexible in the pickup/dropoff times, I got updates, pictures, and a video of Holly throughout the day, and I couldn't be happier. Holly has been home for hours and hasn't moved a muscle- she's totally pooped from playing all day. Will be booking with them again many times!”

“Lisa is so fantastic. She took the best care of my little girl and made sure she was comfortable and confident. You can immediately tell she's a dog lover and understands their little personalities and needs. She was so easy to communicate with, extremely flexible with drop off and pick ups, and sent the most adorable photos. Thank you so much, Lisa!”

“I inquired about a last-minute booking, and Gabrielle was incredibly accommodating and flexible with the schedule. She also took great care of everything, being very meticulous with feeding. Thanks to her sending photo and video updates so quickly and frequently, I was able to fully enjoy my time with total peace of mind. She is a wonderful and sweet sitter! ❤️”


“We've been taking our 7 month old puppy to Sam at least once a week for the past 2ish months. He is awesome. He was patient and gentle with my puppy when she first started coming and was quite nervous. He is very responsive via text too. Our pup has a ton of fun playing around in his yard and he keeps the group small (2-4 dogs I think) so she wasn't overly intimated.”

“Hollyanne was fabulous. She continuously shared photos of Lancelot and so I knew he was having a good time. At the end when I picked him up, he just wanted to keep hanging out which he doesn’t normally want to do. I will definitely use Hollyanne again. Thank you for taking such good care of Lancelot!”
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”

“Vanessa was able to do a meet and greet with my pup before the daycare visit, which I appreciated! She was quick with communicating with me leading up to drop off. My pup came home tired which is exactly what I needed!”


“Chau was so helpful with our two dogs and very patient with our anxious one. She was so communicative and updated us with pictures multiple times a day. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“My dog loved her stay with Anar and was excited to return! Anar was flexible with pick-up and drop-off and sent me updates throughout the day on how Willow was doing!”


“avery was so wonderful! We needed a dog sitter last minute and anvery and her partner saved us! avery was great with communication, flexible, and I could tell my dogs were enjoying there time there with the pictures she sent 🥹”

“Lara was absolutely the best at taking care of our pup Perseus. He got along well with her, she knew how to make him comfortable in a new place, and she sent pictures and videos during the day care.”

About: I understand leaving your baby with a stranger can be scary at first, I am here to help ease the worry! I grew up caring for and loving all animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, lizards, snakes, fish, hamsters, amphibians, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, horses, pigs, cows, chickens, goats. I would spend my weekends on a farm and had many animals growing up! I am also very eager to learn about new animals and grow my experience. I will take care of your animal as if it were my own. I live with my Fiancé who works a full time job. He has a hybrid schedule. I am currently unemployed so I do not have a full time job. This allows me to have a more active lifestyle with your pet! I understand it can be scary leaving your animal with someone you don’t know. I don’t have any other animals and will give your animal my undivided attention. Willing to do meet and greats before hand as well!
“Sandra was amazing! This was Lucy’s first time with her. We came from out of town and she took our booking right away and was able to do a quick meet and greet. She’s was warm and welcoming, and I LOVED the amount of photos, videos and updates she sent me. Would absolutely use again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balboa Park
Beatrice and Brian were so kind meeting us and giving us updates on Lady. They even sent us away with some treats. Their location is perfect if you're trying to catch a Padres game or at a convention nearby. I'll definitely reach out to them again if I'm in downtown SD!

Sandra was beyond amazing and by far the best day sitter experience we’ve ever had on Rover. Gizmo was extremely well taken care of and loved while he was in her care, and she sent the cutest updates and pictures throughout the day. Cannot recommend her enough!

Tatiana was amazing! I needed a last minute day sitter for my 15 year old Jack Russel, and she was nothing but so sweet and attentive to my boy. She sent me regular updates and gave him multiple potty breaks, and really gave me peace of mind being that I’ve never used Rover before or a sitter for my baby. She was so kind with him given he has separation anxiety! I highly recommend her!

Raquel and her partner are amazing and incredibly professional! We needed someone to watch our recently adopted rescue for a few hours each day while we were in town doing touristy things and attending concerts. Their communication was excellent, and their flexibility with our schedule—especially some of our later pickups—was very much appreciated. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about leaving our sweet girl with someone we didn’t know. But after the meet and greet, I had zero worries and knew Patsy would be in great hands. I was able to thoroughly enjoy our outings without stressing about how she was doing. Patsy was excited to be dropped off and always came home a happy girl! She got plenty of potty breaks, and Raquel adapted to all of Patsy’s little quirks with ease. It was clear that Patsy felt comfortable and well cared for. We’re so glad we found Raquel and will absolutely book with her again whenever we’re in the area! I highly recommend her and her partner to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and professional sitters.

Our dogs had the best time at Joseph and Chris’ home. We were in town just for the weekend and Joseph and Chris were very accommodating in hosting our pups while we went to the zoo. Communication leading up to the visit, and during their stay was phenomenal. Once we picked up our dogs, they fell asleep immediately, which is always a sign of a good time!

We absolutely loved Vanessa! ❤️ This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I did because it led us to her. She was so sweet, kind, and loving with Mana from the moment we met her. She kept me updated the entire time and sent me so many adorable pictures and videos. As a first-time Rover user, those updates meant so much and gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and being well taken care of. Vanessa was amazing, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She took such great care of our little guy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️

While visiting the South Park area of San Diego we knew we would need “doggie day care” for our “separation anxiety” Doodle! I immediately went to ROVER and felt a connection to Lisa’s profile and never had a second thought. Not only was she in the neighborhood just blocks away, she was flexible, accommodating, communicative and an obvious lover of dogs. Plenty of walks, loads of cell phone updates and pics, and clear communication on every level. Lisa was able to rotate care from our house, to her house, and the Dog Park in between. She even made sure our pup made “friends” in the neighborhood! I encourage you to trust your pup to Lisa and feel assured that your fur-baby is in excellent hands! WOOF!

Courtney is professional, kind and very easy to work with. She communicated well and took great care of my pup. Millie was so excited to see her and her dog the second day she came that she sprinted out of my car to her yard. I'd definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future.

I reached out on short notice needing a sitter for my Belgian Malinois mix and honestly wasn’t sure who’d be up for it, mals are a lot. High energy, smart, need real exercise and mental stimulation or they get destructive/anxious. Derya didn’t just tolerate that, they clearly got it. My dog came home tired in the best way and completely unstressed, which tells me they were actually engaged and working with her energy instead of just containing it. She also sent photos and videos constantly throughout the visit, I always knew exactly what she was up to and could tell she was genuinely having a good time, not just being watched. That kind of communication is huge, especially when you’re booking last minute and a little anxious about leaving a dog like this with someone new. On top of that, they pulled it together on very short notice without missing a beat communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with working breed temperaments, not just easy lapdogs. If you’ve got a dog that’s “too much” for the average sitter, this is who you want. Already planning to book again
