Kristin is incredible! My dog is obsessed with her. Onyx is so excited when she comes to stay with him. She’s great at communicating and sends so many pics, I never have to worry when I’m traveling. She’s responsible and reliable, absolutely book her!

Allison was wonderful! Very communicative and came home to a very happy, tired pup and tidy house. Felt very at ease knowing my dog was being cared for by her while away. So happy to have found her!

Jarrod was absolutely amazing. This was my first time having a house sitter, and Jarrod was so great with my pets and providing updates. He also was very accommodating, and went above and beyond for the pets and me. He also left my house sparkling clean!

Sarah is such a sweetheart! My kitty Sasha is usually very nervous without me, but she took to Sarah so fast. They were playing together on day 2! I appreciate Sarah’s thoughtful care and am grateful to have solid pet care in San Diego.

What can you say about Vanessa besides the fact that she is amazing. On less than a day’s notice, she was kind enough to do a meet and greet and then house sit my pup for the week. Vanessa is extremely communicative and helpful. You’ll never have to guess about the status of your pup or home when she’s around. I felt extremely comfortable with her in my home and she even left it cleaner than she found it. I would recommend Vanessa to all of my friends and book her services again any time.

Roni was a lifesaver after I had a last minute cancellation. We were able to meet and establish a dog-sitter relationship quickly and efficiently. Roni was communicative and sympathetic in a stressful moment for me. My dog, who can be slow to warm up with stranger, accepted Roni quickly. They followed instructions well and I’m excited to have such a good option next time I go on a trip.

About: Back in the Netherlands, I grew up surrounded by animals and have always loved caring for them. My family had a flat-coated retriever, a golden retriever, two cats, a rabbit, and fish, so being around pets has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have experience helping train dogs and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Since moving to San Diego, I really miss having animals around, which is why Rover feels like such a great fit for me. I would love to give your pet the same care, attention, and affection I would give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and keeping pets company depending on their routine and needs. I understand that every pet has their own schedule, so I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, whether that means specific walk times, feeding routines, medication reminders, or extra cuddles and attention. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client’s home, I will follow your instructions carefully and respect your space, your pet’s routine, and any house rules. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, water, and any special care instructions are handled responsibly. I know how important trust is when someone cares for your pet, so I will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and attention. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I began by fostering puppies with my sister, which taught me how to manage routines, training basics, and different personalities early on. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, including administering medications, following specific diets, and maintaining consistent schedules. I prioritize calm, attentive care and pay close attention to behavioral cues to ensure each dog feels safe and relaxed. I’ve also worked with dogs that need extra patience or structure, and I approach every situation with confidence, and compassion. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’m committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and a stable environment while you’re away. I have strong availability in the early mornings and again after work, as I usually finish my workday around 6–7 PM. This allows me to provide reliable morning care, evening check-ins, and overnight sitting while keeping pets on their normal routine. My roommate and I have a friendly small dog, Kobe, who loves making new furry friends. I’m committed to following your specific care routines. Whether that’s special medical needs or unique house rules. I prioritize safety and communication, ensuring your pet gets plenty of walks, playtime, and personalized attention so they feel right at home.

Peyton was an amazing sitter for our pups! She was super communicative, ensured they were active and well fed, and sent lots of photos. She also went the extra mile and took great care of our house, something that we would never expect of a dog sitter. We’re super happy with peyton and would definitely book again!

So happy we found Kaitie! She completely exceeded our expectations. She sent the most amazing photos throughout the stay and kept communication open the whole time — it made being away so much easier knowing my guy was in good hands. When I came home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the time of his life. The house was clean and tidy. We'll absolutely be booking her again!

I would give Jake 5 stars just for having to deal with me!!! I was so nervous about leaving my new puppy and my spoiled 3.5-year-old pug, but Jake reassured me every step of the way. He sent photos, followed all of my instructions (all four pages of them!) perfectly, and took such great care of my dogs. Our older pug even goes to the spare room now looking for him! I can't thank Jake enough and highly recommend him to everyone. Thanks, Jake!!! 🐾💕

Ivana was AMAZING!!! the sweetest soul and so willing to help us out us out in a last minute minute ! My sweet girl had a lot of fun with her and was so excited to meet her from the get go. Guava had been feeing sick for a couple of days and seemed like her normal self once Ivana came around, I think she was the little boost of she needed to get better. But felt so relaxed and comforted leaving her in her hands while she wasn’t feeling the best. 10/10 recommend 💕🙈
