Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!

Araceli is fantastic. My dogs love being with her. She is always so responsive and she let me drop off the dogs two hours earlier than I initially asked for which was really helpful due to travel plans changing.

Chau is such a great dog sitter! She is responsive, engaged and enthusiastic. I really appreciate Chau's excellent communication in person, via text and through photos. My dog was very well cared for over the weekend and came home happy and tired from all the fun. I will definitely use Chau again because of her obvious love for dogs and her enthusiasm to watch them.

My little shy guy thrived with Kristen! He’s usually pretty reserved but he was already playing and having a blast on the first day. Kristen was great about sharing updates and communicating. She treated my pup with empathy and care. We hope to be back!

About: I have had many dogs and help take care of many dogs. I have never had a problem and dogs are always happy with me. Respectfully will only watch dogs that are friendly, loving, and not aggressive. I work full time from home so can be with your dog all day :) happy to walk them and play with them through out the day. They wouldn’t have to be locked up all day. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too

I’m very glad to have had Ken take care of my lab, Renzo. From our initial meet-and-greet, he was very kind, and we had an extensive conversation about our expectations and Renzo’s needs. He was very accommodating and sent me several updates and pictures while I was away. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets.

This was our first time using Jordan, and it was a great experience from start to finish. She was super attentive and kept us updated with pictures, which we really appreciated. She even took the time to meet Kai beforehand, which made us feel so much more comfortable. She was always responsive and worked around our schedule—every time we messaged her, she got back to us quickly. Communication was easy the whole time. Kai came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re already planning to rebook with Jordan!

I cannot say enough good things about Taylor & Sarah. They exceed all communication expectations and it was beyond evident in the photos they sent that our dog felt super comfortable and happy with them and Mango. As a rover sitter myself, I know what goes into caring for others dogs - we are so appreciative of their level of care, and they made us feel beyond comfortable while we were away :)

I just want to thank Elba and her husband for taking such amazing care of my babies and all of their needs. My girl Sammy has recently been struggling with separation anxiety, and they truly gave her the love, comfort, and attention she needed. From the pictures and videos they sent me, I could see a completely different and much happier dog. They were also incredibly sweet and caring with my boy Pickles. I’m very selective about who watches my dogs because I want to make sure they are treated with the same love and care I give them, and Elba and her husband exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for someone to watch your puppies and treat them like family, I highly recommend booking with Elba and her husband!

Xochitl (and husband) were amazing! I’ve used a lot of Rovers over the years, and she is at the very top of the list. From the first time we met her, it was clear that they were dog people. One of our pups is super timid and can take a while to warm up. Not this time! These two must have the magic touch, sending multiple pictures of her accepting belly rubs and giving kisses. Just as awesome: Some sitters will just send ‘proof of life’ shots showing that they are walking the dogs. But Xotchitl sent daily pictures of them in and outside of the house and interacting with them personally. Overall, Xotchitl made us feel at complete ease while on vacation - which doesn’t always happen. Can’t recommend her enough!

Lucy and Norah went above and beyond to take care of my greyhounds and make sure they had fun at their place. Greyhounds are a sensitive/needy bunch, so that says a lot about the care they received. I’m so grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again the next time I need a dog sitter. Thank you both!!

Savannah is a lovely and kind person who is undoubtedly warm and sweet with dogs. Before our trip, she proposed on having a meet and greet, so we had a chance to get acquainted and for Jasper to get familiar with the place. This gave us a lot of peace of mind as we were able to see that her apartment was very organized, clean, and safe for pets. It was great traveling while knowing that Jasper was in great hands. During our trip, she sent us lots of pictures and videos of Jasper throughout his stay, in which he looked really happy and cared for. He received lots of play and cuddles, walks, and we could tell he loved being there, as he followed Savannah everywhere. He looked really calm and relaxed when we picked him up, so we could tell they really bonded. Savannah’s care and communication were excellent from our very first contact through the moment we picked Jasper up. We would definitely recommend Savannah to anyone looking for boarding for their pets. We plan on leaving Jasper with her every time we travel in the future :)

I cannot put into words or say enough positive things about Zaira. I was previously using cage free boarding facilities to board my dog and would constantly worry whenever I was out of town. Wanting less stress for my dog, I opted to try a personal boarding experience through Rover. Zaira was amazing and so patient with my dog being nervous and shy around new people. By the end of the few days, they were best friends and I know my pup is always missing Zaira. If you’re looking for an attentive, sweet and stress free experience for daycare or boarding I highly recommend Zaira. Thank you!!!!

This was first time using Rover and Carolina made the experience so easy and stress free. My dog is a small, shy, senior girl 🥲 so you can imagine my worry. Carolina was so caring and accommodating with my girl. Seeing photos of my dog throughout the day helped me too. Don’t hesitate to book with Carolina, she is wonderful!
