About: Wondering why my rate might be different than another sitter’s? Rover takes a huge portion of the price you see listed. Please feel free to message me about services i can provide or waive; and I am more than willing to negotiate a fair price depending on the level of care your pup needs! I am able to provide a luxury boarding service at a beautiful, large, home with a massive pet safe backyard! We even have a pool if your pup loves to swim. I provide basic training (unless you prefer I don’t!) and I have a bachelors in art from a prestigious university- so I will provide as many photos and videos as you’d like for free- and can also offer photo shoot and portrait painting (either digital or traditional) services, which can be great for getting your pup at their most comfortable when meeting a photographer or painter! I can provide one on one time, I never leave dogs alone unless requested, and I provide your dog all the cuddles and playtime they want! Since it can be better for both me and you, we can negotiate rates for all services based on your preferences- I won’t ask you to pay for something your pup wouldn’t benefit from! I am American Red cross Cat and Dog First Aid certified, updated very recently. I’ve taken care of my family pets since I was four years old, and got my first dog of my own, a teacup yorkie named Sophie, who was my support dog when I was around 13 years old. Ever since then I’ve had a wonderful support dog named Tommy, and now I currently am training my dog Stevie and my puppy, Chloe to be psychiatric service dogs, working with a professional trainer who thinks I’m a natural! I am a great trainer and I am more than happy to offer that service if you’d like, but i’m not a certified trainer yet! I know pet first aid and cpr. I also had another puppy who lived for just under a year, who passed during a routine anesthesia procedure, which was devastating, but now I know she lives on in my puppy Chloe. I am disabled (chronic lower back pain) but i have mobility aids, can walk around your home/my home unaided, can carry small dogs if requested, and can take your pup out as many times as you’d like. I have a HUGE backyard with plenty of grass, and so I can play with the pups/be outside with them as much as you’d like! Currently in the house here I have Stevie and Chloe, but they can be crated/in a separate part of the house as much as you’d like. I will have one of my parents home so they can keep them 100% completely out of sight if that’s your preference! I’m looking to become a dogsitter because, honestly, dogs are my favorite, and i love connecting with dogs with positive reinforcement and love! I’m so beyond excited for the opportunity to meet your dogs! (And maybe even paint them for you, too!) I currently work remotely part time so i’ll be home all day and all night, and i make my own hours so I can take pretty much any job, any time, for any length of time. When i’m at home without any other pups here, I take care of my dogs Stevie and Chloe full time. They sleep with me (unless you’d rather your pup sleep up here!) so have special puppy guards on the bed so they don’t accidentally fall off while they sleep up here ever! If you’d like, i can keep my dogs with one of my parents so your pups don’t interact. I have a big fenced yard that not even the smallest puppy could get out from! I have two extremely well behaved soon to be service dogs that i’m currently training, They are very small Yorkies, Stevie is 6 years old and about 7 pounds, and Chloe is 5 months and about 2.5 pounds. They can be involved as much or as little as you prefer, but all dogs in our home need to be fully vaccinated please. In your home, I would do everything a dog needs, I’d make sure water is full and available 24/7, i’d take your pups out for playing/potty breaks as often as you’d prefer, i’d feed them and give medication if needed (i have lots of experience giving puppies, adult, and senior dogs medications!) If you let me know your preferences, i’m sure i can treat your dog with so much care and love, and help them feel their routines aren’t too different then they are with you, if that’s your preference! And I LOVE dog cuddles, and cat cuddles! Also, my brother is a vet tech that works at Rancho Bernardo Vetrinary Clinic so I have him, my vet, and my trusted vet emergency hospital all on speed dial, just in case! If needed I can hop in a car and take your pups to the park, the vet, the er, to get groomed, etc. (I will never put your dog in my car without consent, of course!!)

“Sophie is great! She is caring and attentive. Maisy enjoyed her week playing with Snow and hanging out. I felt super comfortable that Maisy was well cared for. She came home exhausted from an active day with her new friends!”

“I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!”

“I needed a place for my fur baby to stay while my housekeepers were cleaning and I contacted Ruda. He responded right away and was able to provide daycare for my dog with 24 hour notice. You can tell Ruda is a "dog person" and he took very good care of my boy and took him on walks even though he didn't have a very long stay at his home. Drop off and pick up was super easy too. Thanks Ruda! We will be coming back again.”
“Kimberly and her family are absolutely FANTASTIC! I only trust my pup, Rizzo, in their care. They treat him as one of their own and I feel so incredibly lucky for them! Thank you!!!’”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends. I am pretty open nowadays. Ready to take care of your furry babies as much as needed! Also, have my helpers ( my kids off school, are ready to help)! Right now I am open to come and take care of your pets! Always willing to come first to get to know your pets, and introduce myself. Folowing the rules and instructions- that’s number one priority. Safety, Trust, Care and Love only!
“I am very grateful to find Shuo to take care of my dog. From the moment my dog met her, it was clear they hit it off — she’s a natural with dogs! She’s experienced, pays attention to detail, and truly cares about dogs. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!"”

“Danielle was wonderful with Pumpkin! She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages, and I could tell Pumpkin felt comfortable and happy in her care. Very reliable, kind, and attentive—I’d definitely book with her again.”

“This was the first time Pluto went to doggy day care and he had such a wonderful experience after day 1 Pluto was so excited to head to Ryan’s house. Ryan and his family are the sweetest and took really good care of him.”

“I am thrilled to have found Deborah on Rover. My little newly adopted rescue dog has separation anxiety and I’ve needed to have her in daycare several times a week. Deborah and her family and dog, Teddy, have provided a second home for my pup. She has thrived in the safe, caring, loving environment of their home. Deborah is reliable and responsive, and has been very accommodating to my needs. She is cheerful, friendly and kind, always giving me peace of mind while I’m away.”
“Christy did an awesome job watching my dog - she was great with communication and sent so many pictures and videos while he was there! The second day pulling onto her street, he got soo excited in the car that he was coming back and having the closed in backyard was great for my energetic dog, would definitely recommend!”

“sophie was very kind and communicative throughout the process! she recieved my daisy with open arms and took her on walks, sent pictures throughout and even shared her own dogs food with our girl. will be returning to sophie :)”

“Anna was very professional and quick to respond. She sent tons of photos and updates, and her calm and welcoming demeanor really put my shy girl at ease. As a worrier, I absolutely loved the safety of the fenced-in yard. We’ll definitely be using Anna again!”


“Caitlin was great! She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times when I needed a last minute sitter. Her calm energy was perfect for my puppy. I would definitely book again. Thank you!”

“I've been using this sitter for quite some time now. Very reliable and dependable. She's been able to help with short notice sitting and out of state work trips for my crazy work schedule. My pup loves it there and enjoys their entire family. I don't get as many pictures but I get a few and my pup is always a happy camper whenever I pick him up. Would definitely recommend this sitter all anyone in need of pet care.”


About: Over the past 6 years, I’ve also managed holiday pet sitting for various dogs, ensuring they stay active and happy while their owners are away. What truly sets me apart is my access to professional knowledge; my younger sister is pre-veterinary track. This background makes me extra attentive to pet health and safety. Whether your pet needs high-energy play or a calm companion, I provide a structured and loving environment tailored to their personality. I really enjoy being with cats and usually start my day seeing my own American Shorthair laying right outside my door. Since I work from home, my schedule is very flexible. I can provide consistent companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet gets plenty of attention, regular breaks, and interactive playtime without me ever having to leave the house. Safety is my top priority, and I’ve learned a lot from my sister who is currently in vet school. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly environment where my cat and your pets can feel secure. When sitting at a client's home, I am extremely diligent about following your specific household rules, double-checking locks, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s behavior and well-being at all times.

Kimberly is truly the best! She takes incredible care of our pup, Luna, and always keeps us updated with messages and adorable photos, which gives us so much peace of mind. She is warm, reliable, and clearly loves the dogs she cares for—we trust her completely and recommend her 100%!

I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!

Ehda was very sweet and very accommodating. My dog responded to her very well. Ehda sent us pics of our dog while we were away. I really couldn’t have been more happy with her service and demeanor. I would definitely use her again, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.

Anna was very professional and quick to respond. She sent tons of photos and updates, and her calm and welcoming demeanor really put my shy girl at ease. As a worrier, I absolutely loved the safety of the fenced-in yard. We’ll definitely be using Anna again!

Ruda was great with our Vinnie! Drop off and pick up were easy. I appreciate how organized he is with instructions and requests prior to drop off. It made for a much more seamless transition. I got pictures throughout the day and Vinnie was happy when I picked him up. I would recommend Ruda and will definitely be using him in the future! Thank you for taking great care of our boy!

Marietta and ZU Zu are excellent pet sitters. This was Simba’s first time at a sitter and I learned a lot about his behaviors. Marietta did everything to make Simba comfortable, went above and beyond. Her house and yard is safe for pets. I well recommend her. She is god sent. I couldn’t thank her enough for the lengths she went accommodating Simba.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I originally hired Sophira for dog sitting, but what Mila and I have gained from this experience has been absolutely life-changing. 🙏 Mila has worked with several trainers before — she went through initial, intermediate, and advanced puppy training and passed them all with flying colors. But after a cross-country move, she developed reactivity issues that no one seemed to be able to help with. I tried multiple positive-only trainers and even the e-collar approach, but nothing made a lasting difference. Sophira not only cared for Mila while I worked, but he also took the time to guide us through her behavior challenges. He introduced me to using a prong collar the correct way — something I was initially nervous about — and it has truly been a game changer. Mila is calmer, more confident, and I barely have to make corrections anymore. He sends updates and pictures of Mila calmly hanging out around other dogs, which I never thought would be possible for her. She even tolerates my two German Shepherds now! What started as simple dog sitting has turned into something so much more — genuine training, structure, and peace of mind. I can’t thank Sophira enough for what he’s accomplished with my stubborn Frenchie. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, understands dogs, and delivers real results, he’s the one. 🐾❤️

Gibbs and Hamilton had a wonderful time spending the day with Patricia, Boston and her family. We received updates and photos during our time away. She took them on walks and to the dog park. We would definitely use her again; she lives very close to us as well, which is a big convenience. Last time she did drop in care and this time they stayed at her house; both arrangements worked out well.
