“Todd and Bill are responsible and experienced dog care providers. Accommodating and considerate of their clients, they give me piece of mind that my wonderful dog is in good hands.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Nancy for doggie daycare! She was incredibly responsive and friendly throughout the entire process. Our dog, Cash, came home happy and totally exhausted from all the fun he had—which is exactly what we were hoping for! We were hosting an event at our home, and Nancy went above and beyond by offering pick-up and drop-off, which made things so much easier for us. We’re so grateful for her care and will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“She is very caring and has been amazing, sending a lot of photos, making sure my Chico is properly trained and behaving well with the other dogs. Couldn't ask for a better dogsitter. Best one yet.”
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
“Mark has been wonderful to work with. Our dog, Mello, has some anxiety around new environments, so we arranged a test daycare day before the official boarding dates. Mark has been incredibly patient and thoughtful in helping Mello get comfortable. We really appreciate how willing he is to work with us and plan a few more test daycare and boarding days ahead of the actual stay. It’s clear he truly cares about making sure the dogs in his care feel safe and supported. Based on this experience, we’re very confident Mello will have a great time during his upcoming stays.”
About: I have a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Bernedoodle at home, so I’m no stranger to caring for large, energetic pups. Over the years, I’ve been a trusted house sitter for friends and family, providing attentive care for their pets. I genuinely love animals and ensure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for pets. Weekends and most weekdays, I’m available to watch, play with, or walk your furry friends. I prioritize pet safety by always keeping a close eye on your furry friend, whether at home or on walks. In your home, I’ll respect your instructions, ensure a pet-proof environment, and provide constant care and attention.
“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.”
About: I have been around pets, specifically dogs my whole life, and have always been the first person my friend or family ask to watch their pets! It fits into my routine very well! I go to school later in the day and only have one class per day, so I am free pretty much all day! I have a fenced in yard, and no other dogs in my home. I have space for a crate if your dog does need to be crated.
About: As the son of a competitive sled dog racer in the northeast, I spent my entire childhood with dogs - at work, at play, and at rest. As an adult, I have cared for pets of my own as well as for pets of family and friends throughout the LA area, building strong bonds and providing reliable, attentive care. I recently moved to San Diego and am excited to build a loving community of furry friends. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes... but huskies will always have my heart. I work from home as a writer, which means I’m around throughout the day to give dogs plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. My wife is a nurse and is available in the evenings and on weekends and variable weekdays, providing extra support, love and attention. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to your dog’s needs. We have a fully fenced-in front yard as well as a separate fenced turf area in the back, giving dogs safe outdoor space to play, explore, and relax throughout the day. Whether your dog is high-energy, shy, or a senior who prefers lounging in the sun, they’ll be treated like family here. Safety - Secure, fenced property - our home features a fully fenced front grass yard and a separate fenced turf area in the back, allowing dogs to enjoy outdoor time safely and supervised - Constant supervision - since I work from home, dogs are rarely left alone - Controlled environment - I limit the number of dogs I care for at once to ensure personalized attention and a calm, low-stress setting - Routine and consistency - I follow your dog’s established feeding and walking schedules. - Clean and comfortable home - dogs are treated like family with access to clean indoor space and safe outdoor area.
About: I've been walking and feeding my friends and family dogs since I was 8 years-old! They have relied on me while they were out of town and have always come back satisfied. I am in college part-time right now (classes on mondays and wednesdays), but am avaliable every weekday after 3pm excluding Fridays. With such an open availability, I would love to care for your best friends. I live right by many parks and trails. I also have a friendly furbaby of my own that loves to socialize with other dogs! I also love cuddling with dogs so when needed I can provide some comfort as well.
“Kate was awesome. She responded right away during booking. She made this a great expetience for me. My dog was so happy to have stayed with Kate B. She was professional, kind and caring. Thank you. See you next time.”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.
“Madison did a great job with my little Charlie. My pup had a great time staying with her and going to fun places too. I will definitely go back again and highly recommend her to any other pet owners who are looking for a dog sitter. Thanks Maddison. 😊”
“Kylie is very responsive and communicates well, which I appreciate. My dog enjoys his days playing with their 2 dogs and others they care for. I’ll definitely continue using their services.”
“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!”

I also live with 3 other sweet girls who love animals just as much as me so your pet will never be left alone or unloved 💕 ~I promise to give endless belly rubs and always ensure a safe environment for your fur babies ~ I love dogs and cats equally 🙌 ~ i love to go on walks, stolls, hikes, and to the beach 🏔️🌊☀️ ~ My routine is super consistent which helps get your pet comfortable way quicker Im currently a part time student with a remote job so i'm at home most of the day so my schedule is great for a highly anxious dog that needs to be with me at all times I do live close to a college campus, but I'm right on the edge of a quiet residential area where I go on 2-3 walks a day so walking a dog fits right into my routine! I also love the beach and hiking trails, and love to have a dog with me as an excuse to go- so if your dog comes to stay with me there is a potential adventure to come! I live with 3 other sweet girls and we're all best friends, and whenever I get booked to watch an animal they get so exited. So if i'm taking care of an animal, we're all here to pitch in.

Stefani was great and so sweet! I’ve never had to have my dog stay with a sitter before so I was nervous. She sent me pictures all day and updated me all day with how he was doing. She kept him busy the whole time he was there and I could tell that my dog loved her and had a great time. She was attentive to his weird quirks and made sure he was safe and comfy. I would absolutely leave my dog with her again to watch him!
I had a last minute request and Jason accommodated quickly. Molly gets so excited as we approach Jason’s home. I am so grateful I can leave her there and know she’s going to have a great time and get plenty of exercise and I never worry about her for a minute.
Mark has been wonderful to work with. Our dog, Mello, has some anxiety around new environments, so we arranged a test daycare day before the official boarding dates. Mark has been incredibly patient and thoughtful in helping Mello get comfortable. We really appreciate how willing he is to work with us and plan a few more test daycare and boarding days ahead of the actual stay. It’s clear he truly cares about making sure the dogs in his care feel safe and supported. Based on this experience, we’re very confident Mello will have a great time during his upcoming stays.
Letitia was great to work with! She has a nice setup for watching pets both durning rain and without rain. One of the reasons we chose to have Letitia watch the dogs was because she was the only one that suggested a meet and greet before committing to watch our dogs. Very professional and nice arrangement for the dogs!
Cerita is an AMAZING human! I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience for my pup. This beautiful, loving family took such incredible care of him over the weekend and treated him like one of their own. It was clear how much time, attention, and genuine affection they gave him — from playtime to cuddles and everything in between. I felt completely at ease knowing he was not just being watched, but truly loved. I’m so grateful for the care they provided and would trust them again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💛
Chris is a nice, pleasant and friendly when we met, and Zoe took a liking to him right away. He sent us photos when we asked and communicated with us when we would inquire how Zoe was doing throughout the day. Chris watched Zoe for a good amount of the day since my partner and I work shifts at the hospital. Chris did a wonderful job with Zoe, took her on walks and car rides and updated us so we felt that she was given plenty of love and attention. Thanks for having her in your care and we'd love to book you again.
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!
This was such a perfect set up for our two 9yr old dogs. They are used to a very family-friendly environment where they are part of everything. This was the case here. They got to interact with kids- which they love. They were allowed on the furniture and given a ton of love and affection. This made our vacation so much easier to have a safe place to drop them where we knew they would be loved.
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.
Rebecka & John were great with our girl Zoe. She was in their care for the first time for doggy daycare. They replied promptly with pics when we would ask and helped us feel better that she was having a good time. She came home happy and tired. Thanks for taking care of our girl!
