“I had a great experience with Chunli! She was incredibly considerate of my home and treated it with the utmost respect while caring for my dog. I truly appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and photos — it was so reassuring to see how well taken care of my pup was while I was away. I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and my home were in great hands.”


“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!”


About: I've had the pleasure of looking after cats and dogs for the past 5 years. I enjoy being your pet's companion while you're away and making sure they have enough food and cuddles. From administering medication to brushing teeth, you name it and I will make sure your pet gets the care they need! House sitting and pet care are my full-time priorities, so I am available pretty much anytime - including nights and weekends! This also means I am able to take last-minute bookings and take pets on frequent walks/potty breaks as needed. Your pet's safety and comfort are important to me! To ensure this, I adhere strictly to owner instructions, communicate openly, and provide detailed after-visit summaries with multiple pictures.

“Thank you Thomas! You were an outstanding house sitter for 3 weeks. You are a great communicator. Our dogs and cat are not always easy to care for, and you took great care of them. You provided photos and videos on a regular basis. And best of all you are reliable and trustworthy! We won't hesitate to use you again and can highly recommend you.”


“Absolutely wonderful experience with Luciana who took exceptional care of my lab during my wedding weekend. Can’t imagine a better Rover or kinder person! Huge thank you to Luciana”


“Patricia was fantastic with our rambunctious golden retriever puppy and older cat. She sent consistent updates to make sure we were in the loop while we were out of town and asked questions to clarify anything that we missed in our instructions. She was also very professional and flexible when we had some challenges with getting her access to our building. It looked like our fur-kids had a fantastic time, and we would absolutely book Patricia again!”

About: I provide personalized, loving care for dogs of all ages, especially those needing extra gentle attention. Patient and reliable, I treat every dog like family and offer regular photo updates to keep you informed. My goal is to give you peace of mind—whether you’re working or traveling—knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved. I work part-time and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care. I have a super friendly Mini Goldendoodle who’s already part of my daily routine, so I’m well-practiced in giving loving, responsible attention to dogs. This makes it easy for me to incorporate your dog’s care seamlessly into my schedule I follow client instructions closely and create customized care plans when needed. I enjoy taking dogs to a nearby garden for exercise and mental stimulation. During walks, I match each dog’s pace to ensure they stay comfortable and happy.

“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 been raised with Labrador retrievers siblings (not pets) since Barkley (my first brother) slept under my crib after my mom brought me home from the hospital. Every place I go where there is a dog, it’s my goal to make sure they like me so I am extremely attuned to how dogs are feeling as well as their needs. I helped potty train my family’s most recent labs (Buck and Buzz) as well as teach them a few tricks. I have a very flexible work schedule and would love to help out during the typical 9-5. I also would be happy to help with early morning walks. Given proper instruction and information, I’m a hyper vigilant sitter and want to make sure I am doing everything correctly as well as making sure your pup is having a fun time!

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!

About: I have pet sit for 10+ different dogs since I was 16 rangining from tiny dogs to giant dogs. I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. Including four dogs and six cats. I currently only do dog walking and cat/ dog sitting so I have a very open schedule to care for your animals. Im flexible with times and can provide some same day services. I always want the dog to stick to a routine that it’s used to especially when their owners aren’t home. I know it can be very stressful for animals when their owners leave and I just want to create a soothing environment. I will respect your rules for your pet and not overstep my boundaries.

“We're generally worriers when it comes to leaving our furry family at home, but no more!

Carmel Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

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.

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🥰

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.

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!! ☺️
