“Eli was so great with Brew! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Brew was in good hands. He kept him active with hikes and was happy to give Brew company. Eli was timely and responsible and we will definitely use him again to help with Brew. Thank you!”


“Bella did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Rai! We were on vacation for 2 weeks and were very lucky to have Bella watch him. She quickly picked up on his daily routine and took him on multiple walks every day, and took him to his favorite dog park in the afternoons. She sent us pictures every day during our trip and he looked so happy! Bella kept the house tidy and organized, and gave Rai a bath before we came back so he was clean. It gave our family a big peace of mind to know Rai was being well taken care of and having fun every single day. I highly recommend to have Bella watch over your pet in the future!”


“Yelena was amazing! My normal dogsitter bailed last minute before a long international trip, and Yelena was able to step in and take great care of my dog, and earn her trust. I can’t recommend Yelena highly enough and would contact her for future trips.”


About: I've always had a love for dogs every since I was little and actually got to help raise my current dog when COVID happened in 2020 from when he was a puppy. I've pet sat so many times throughout my life and thought this would be a good way to help ensure the well-being of everyone's pet in their family! I am currently home for the summer and working remotely for an internship two days of the week. I have plenty of time to go and check on your pet during the day! Will make sure they are safe and sound. I have trained my dog to love his crate, so he usually goes in there when he wants to. I will mostly ask what the client is most comfortable with and what they need from me to best care for their pet!

“Kayla is a great pet sitter and communicator. She sends pictures which reassures me that my dog is happy and being walked. I forgot to let Kayla know that there were dog treats available. She found the treats and asked me if it was ok to give to the dog (it was). I appreciated this extra step because sometimes Charlie needs to lay off the food. The house was spotless and the animals were happy.”


“We were so lucky to come across Jeremiah as our dog sitter! Our two senior pups had a blast with him and some other furry friends. He sent daily photos and videos, questions about their demeanor (like what to do if they weren't hungry/eating their food), and was super responsive and attentive providing updates/questions without me needing to ask. They even went on daily walks, which wasn't a need, and our babies enjoyed being spoiled outside. We can't wait to use him again. Thank you so much for everything!!”


“Patricia did a great job looking after our 3 cats for two weeks. The cats liked her. They looked happy and healthy and our home was tidy when we returned. Patricia was vigilant and quick to respond to our daily messages.”


“Christina was very thoughtful, caring, and proactive while sitting my dog. Would use again without hesitation!”


About: Hi, I have been around dogs of all different shapes and sizes my whole life. In addition to taking care of my own dog I have experience in overnight sitting and foster care. I recently completed my bachelor's degree at UCLA and relocated to San Diego to begin my professional career. Although I love pets, my lifestyle does not allow me to have a pet full-time. I will give the pets I care for maximal attention and energy. I think it is most important when a dog is in a new environment or in one with new people is to make them feel comfortable and safe. In order to insure this I would spend time with the dog and owner before I care for them on my own

“Luciana was great! Very intensive to our dog. Followed our instructions to the tee. Keep us updated and informed. Very reliable and competent. Our dog was in wonderful care allowing us to enjoy our time away. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend this caring person.”


“Alexa just watched our golden retriever Ruby, and she did a great job! Ruby is really calm and happy, and the house looks great. We’d definitely hire Alexa again. Highly recommend!”


“We reached out to Zari after last minute change of travel plans. She was extremely responsive, easy to communicate with and her attention to detail was amazing. We're lucky to have found her and will absolutely use her again anytime we need a sitter in the near future.”


“Patti watched my pups on two separate occasions over the holidays and her communication was excellent. I would definitely ask her to watch them again.”


“Appreciated him taking care of our babies on thanksgiving. He loved our dogs, was very good at communicating with us while he was there. Came on time, did an excellent job. 😊”


About: Worked as a veterinary technician for 12+ years and I also did petsitting on the side. I have experience with cats, puppy, and senior pets needs. I currently have a very flexible schedule Monday through Friday. So I can accommodate my schedule to pet sitting and dog walking needs. Might be able to add a weekend off and on. I’ve always been a very responsible pet parent and pet sitter. If your pet has a specific walk/play schedule or needs medications at certain times I can accommodate.

“We came back to a happy Dobby! Aliyah was friendly, responsible and delightful to communicate with. So much better than boarding him in a kennel.”


About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember; big and small, shy and silly! I’ve helped raise several pups from puppyhood to their golden years, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a game of fetch, or a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’m reliable, patient, and always up for outdoor adventures or sticking to your pup’s favorite routine. WFH with a flexible schedule. I even take myself on walks several times a day! Lots of time for playing, cuddling, and paying attention to your fur baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and needs. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep things clean and consistent, aiming to make your pet feel secure in their familiar environment. If I’m hosting, I provide a calm, cozy, and pet-friendly space where your furry friend is treated like family. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands. Bonus: I have a patio where your fur baby can sunbathe or people watch!

“Garrett stayed over with our two pups this past weekend, and he was very caring and communicative. Highly recommend if you need weekend overnights!”



“Brynn did a great job housesitting and watching our senior pup Lola. Lola has a lot of quirks with walking, eating, sleeping, etc., and Brynn navigated them with great respect and care for her. I’d definitely have Brynn watch our dog and house sit for us again.”


About: I have 1 dog (Bentley) and he is such a good boy! I have lived in San Diego my whole life and figured I could give a helping hand when I have time. I know how hard it is to find someone to take care of your pets, and to trust with your pets. I will treat your animals as if they were my own. I currently live in Carmel Valley with my husband and we are very outdoorsy, and love spending time doing healthy activities. We like to travel, and we spend a lot of time working... we have irregular work hours because we are both business owners, so that helps us in situations where we would need to be flexible with time. Look forward to meeting you! My husband and I are entrepreneurs and I work from home, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pup 🥰 I am a runner and run with my dog regularly. I have a fenced yard and my dog lovessss other dogs. I crate my dog when I am not home, and he is super well trained.

“Lili is the most caring when it comes to our furry loved ones. Not only is she the best pet parent a dog or cat can ask for but she is also caring for other pets. She gives my dogs so much attention and they love her presence. Her presence is always welcomed by my dogs! I have a Great Pyrenees and he sheds and drools so much, but it does not bother Lili one bit! My Maltese is so needy and wants all the attention and she is always right there to give him all the love he wants. She’s the best when it comes to our furry loved ones!”

Carmel Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
We’ve had Lizzie watch our dogs multiple times and she is truly amazing! Takes such good care of them and always sends pics throughout the day

Patrick was an absolute rockstar! He watched both of our dogs and the house while we were gone on an eight day vacation. He did an amazing job at making sure the dogs were acclimated to his routine while he was here, and he also gave them daily walks. I look forward to having him come stay with us again.

Aliyah was so easy to communicate with and took great care of our babies while we were away. We will definitely reach out to her again for housesitting!

Jill was great. We met beforehand to get familiar with Remi and get to know our neighborhood. She shared great update pictures during her stay and took Remi on great walks. This was our first Rover experience and we were extremely happy with Jill and will use her again.

Kayla was great as always! We never have to worry about our 2 cats when we are away for long trips. Always come back to happy cats and a well maintained house!

We had Reshini come stay at our home for about 13 days and take care of our dog Zoey. She met her first and we thought that was great. She sent daily pictures of Zoey both morning and night and did a fantastic job taking care of her and making us feel as though Zoey was in great hands. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about Nataliaya! She took care of our sweet (but anxious 😅) dachshund Raya for two days while we were out for a wedding and rehearsal, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Raya has some separation anxiety, but Nataliaya was so kind, patient, and loving. She made sure Raya felt safe and cared for. She sent us lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the day, and it really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. She treated Raya like part of the family, and it meant the world to us. If we’re ever in Laguna again, we’d love to book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely loves animals🥰

Fantastic communication, pup-dates, and care of our 4 pups (ages 3-16), and she left the house neat and picked up. Will use again!

Marie was excellent with Lucy. She was prompt upon arrival and took her time getting acquainted. She was thoughtful in her communication throughout her time with Lucy. And as a bonus Marie is a talented photographer sending print-worthy photos often throughout her stay. She paid careful attention to my homemade feeding instructions. Leaving Lucy with Marie gave me ease of mind knowing she was in caring and experienced hands.

Harim was super timely and a great communicator when she watched bayou for us! Bayou definitely has all of that puppy energy and Harim did an amazing job making sure all his needs were met! We are so grateful and will definitely be booking with her again!

Emily took fantastic care of our fur babies while we were away! She stayed in contact and sent us pics along the way. We returned to happy and well-cared-for pets! We'd book her again in a heartbeat!

Arun was reliable and professional. My pup seemed happy and well taken care of. House was in great condition. He kindly brought in any boxes that arrived.

Nadiia is an excellent pup sitter!! she took such good care of our Elio while we were away. she took him on several walks a day and made sure he had lots of play time. she sent us lots of photos and videos and we could tell Elio was having a blast. thanks so much Nadiia!! ☺️

Brittany is a fantastic sitter. My dogs are obsessed. She treats them like her own and ensures to share plenty of videos/pictures. Great communicator. Our go-to sitter for the past 3 years

Aida and her husband Mike took great care of our dog for 2 weeks. They stayed at our house and left it very clean. They are very friendly people who care about dogs. I would recommend them. They sent me periodic texts to let us know how things were going.

Shivani is an amazing dog and house sitter. She is reliable, responsible and took extremely good care of our dog Kelso. She regularly sent pictures and updates on him while we were away. Highly recommend her🌟

Yelena was amazing! My normal dogsitter bailed last minute before a long international trip, and Yelena was able to step in and take great care of my dog, and earn her trust. I can’t recommend Yelena highly enough and would contact her for future trips.

Brigit is an incredible dog and house sitter. She is a genuine animal lover and cared for our doggie and house extremely well. She is also very professional and communicative. Our dog and family would love to have her back!

Veronika was wonderful, very caring and knowledgeable of pets. She suggested ways to help my elderly dog to eat better while I was away. She was very reliable, always on time and very helpful overall.

Can’t say enough wonderful things about Brianna! She took excellent care of our two dogs and our house while we were gone. I felt so confident leaving knowing she was taking care of our dogs and I didn’t worry about them at all. She provides great updates and treats your pets as if they were her own!
