“Antonio is really great! He had my dog Prince who is very nervous and timid with new people stay for day care. Antonio and I set up a meet and greet first and he was patient and understanding with Prince and has been great about giving Prince space and time to open up. He seems to know his stuff about dogs and introduced Prince to the other dogs at daycare slowly making sure Prince was comfortable. Anotnio also sent lots of pics and videos keeping me super up to date with Prince’s progress which I really appreciated! I would definitely use Antionio again!”
“Thank you Vanessa! Archie was in great hands and Vanessa was very communicative throughout coordinating beforehand and on the day when she watched him. ??”

“We had roof work done on our house and it stressed our dog horribly. We are grateful that we easily found William to take our doggy for the day. William played with our dog, took him for walks and our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we picked him up. I would definitely call William again for help with my dog.”
“Gabrielle was fantastic! Kept me updated throughout the day, sent pictures and videos, and took our dog on multiple walks. Absolutely recommend her and her sweet dog to take care of yours!!”

“Jennifer took such great care of my dog, Chris. He's a very shy boy but Jennifer had such a calming presence that I could see him getting comfortable with her before I even left. And the photos sent during his stay showed me that he really warmed up to her, which made me at peace. Jennifer is wonderful and definitely cares about the dogs she watches as if they're her own. I'm very picky on who my dog stays with and I would highly recommend Jennifer!”

About: I grew up with the sweetest Shih Tzu in the world named Dak (a small computer chip). And I think my style of pet care came from taking care of him. I was attentive and gave him lots of love. He loved driving in the car with me, actually :) I have been pet sitting for friends and on other platforms for over 5 years in their homes. And I took care of a neighbor's bird way back in high school. For the most part I have specialized in cats and small to medium dogs. I also have a calm spirit that many animals are drawn to. So we can chill together for a long time. In addition, I'm responsible and respectful, caring and considerate not only for pets but also for owner's homes. I am able to communicate well and clearly and can problem solve to resolve any situation which might arise. In short, I have the know-how to be able to feed, entertain, clean up after, and love cats and dogs and their living spaces. And I can communicate well to their parents to keep them safe and happy while mom and dads are away. I currently work part-time teaching English online. I also am writing my doctoral dissertation. This means I am home a lot and very happy to spend lots of time with pets, even at my desk with me or curled up on the sofa. I strictly watch pets in their own homes. Firstly, because I am missionary and I've been staying temporarily in my parents house in North Carolina and now here with my brother in Palo Alto. Secondly, because I think pets are much happier if they can stay in their own homes and in familiar surroundings.

“William and Miranda took amazing care of Punky! They did a great job of getting her settled and they have a lovely yard for a dog to explore. Highly recommended!!”

“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!”


“Piper loved playing with all the dogs there! Their pups are friendly and awesome role models for my little puppy. They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times. They care about the dogs they watch, your pet will be well taken care of with Todd and Bill.”

About: I've been a mom and auntie to a menagerie of furbabies and I can't wait to meet yours! I've been caring for pets all my life and I'm currently an empty nester, so your little ones will be getting all my love and attention. My goal isn't to be the most exciting sparkle in the room (unless that's a clear preference), just a safe, calm, and welcoming presence. I initiate trust by giving animals the space to come to me and listening to their language of need and desire. I enjoy playing and romping with kits and pups, and I also love to learn what an older cat or dog can teach me about fun and games, nurture, treasure hunting, and shy curiosity. Once we've gotten to know each other and I've learned a few of their games, we're soon snuggling and it is always hard to leave. I do not have any formal vet training, but I am willing and able to follow clear instructions for animals with special needs. Examples of specialty care experience include: Small and medium sized-dogs who have acute separation anxiety. Several months of weekend and overnight care for a canine cancer survivor. Nightly subcutaneous saline for cats living with kidney failure. Care for other small animals, including rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, and a ferret (5 years). Cat-walking (leashed). I enjoy taking pics and will send updates twice daily. I'm currently working from home part-time as a consultant, so I can flex my day's structure around your furbabies' needs. This means that if your furbaby is staying with me: I have lots of lap time available, with frequent walk/play breaks throughout my day. If you are looking for dedicated attention, we can discuss your needs related to my current schedule. When I'm boarding, I only work for one client at a time, so if you have a menagerie, let's talk. I often work outside on my deck and I have a fenced yard so I can supervise your little ones in the sun (and shade) during the day. If you prefer they stay inside when not playing ball, I can do that too and they'll still be able to watch the hummingbirds. My space is pet friendly and they are welcome on my comfy furniture and on the bed with me unless you want them crated or floor trained. I prefer you bring their own toys and dishes for safety, but can provide mine on your request. Structure and consistency can be very important, so I'll ask you about specific commands, rules, and what they are working on. When walking cats and dogs that I don't know well, I prefer not to socialize them with other animals or people. If you take them to dog parks etc., I'll need to understand their behavior and signals of when it is time to go. My house is small, but my yard is very large.
“Zaira was amazing with our dog during the three days we needed daytime care while we were out. She was excellent with communication from the very beginning and very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. We did a brief meet-and-greet session first, and after that Zaira took our Labrador in without any issues. She also has her own dog, Malik (she’s a sweetheart!), and they got along really well, so we had no worries at all. Over the three days, Zaira took great care of our dog, shared pictures regularly, and kept us posted, which gave us complete peace of mind. If you’re visiting San Diego and need a reliable and caring place to leave your pup, Zaira is someone you can trust without hesitation. Highly recommended!”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats and have always had them throughout my life. I’ve trained Mastiffs, Shepherds, Great Pyrenees’, Boxers, Dobermans, and more. I’m an animal lover through and through, big or small. I’m currently working part time and have been eager to interact more with animals ever since I moved down to San Diego. Willing to work whenever you need me! I enjoy playing with animals just as much as they enjoy playing with us. It is my pleasure to take your pets on walks or play with them in the yard or house. Just like a dog I have loads of energy!

“Chau went above and beyond for my dog. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. And my dog enjoyed hanging out with her pups. Amazing sitter!”

“Andre was great. He was very flexible and happy to work with my schedule and my 2 older dogs and their quirky needs . Penny is blind and he happily made any necessary accommodations for walks and going potty. Bonus lived his best vacation days ever, with multiple walks a day. Thank you”

City Heights East dog parents share their Rover experiences
Layla was amazing!! I usually leave my dogs with friends or family because one of them is really anxious, but she handled both of them so well. She took them on walks and sent me 3–4 updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be coming back to her if I ever need help with my dogs again. Great communication and super flexible!

We had roof work done on our house and it stressed our dog horribly. We are grateful that we easily found William to take our doggy for the day. William played with our dog, took him for walks and our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we picked him up. I would definitely call William again for help with my dog.
Danielle was such a blessing for us! We needed a sitter for our sweet girl Daisy last minute and Danielle happily helped out. She kept me posted and sent pictures the entire time, was very attentive and loving with our girl and overall very communicative though out her visit. If you need a dog loving sitter who truly will care for your fur baby Danielle is the perfect fit! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who needs a great sitter!

Angela is absolutely amazing with my bulldog! Bailey can be a little territorial at times, so I’m always cautious about introducing her to new people. To my surprise, she warmed up to Angela almost immediately. Angela has such a calm, confident presence that Bailey connected with right away. I couldn’t be more grateful for Angela—she’s a total gem and extremely responsive. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a patient, skilled, and genuinely caring doggy daycare provider. So happy we found her!

Thank you so much for taking on my anxious doggy! He felt so comfortable with you and I felt so safe with him being there. He is my everything and we both are anxiously attached so it meant a lot to feel safe. Shauna even took him to a field to play fetch which is his favorite. Thank you so much for showing my boy love!

Dusty had an AMAZING time with Stefani! During his drop of it was clear that he was right at ease with her immediately and shortly after I left he was already snuggled up for a morning nap! I’m incredibly appreciative that they went for a fun filled romp at the dog beach, so he got to run and exercise and play. Stefani sent photos and updates which helped ease my mind that my pup was in great hands and not missing me a bit! Stefani was flexible and helpful and I’m quite sure Dusty wanted to stay even longer than his one day visit! We’d love to return again 🥰

Andre was great. He was very flexible and happy to work with my schedule and my 2 older dogs and their quirky needs . Penny is blind and he happily made any necessary accommodations for walks and going potty. Bonus lived his best vacation days ever, with multiple walks a day. Thank you
