“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.”

“Isabella was so amazing with my anxious pup! i loved how she kept me updated the whole time and lots of pictures and videos. Very sweet and polite and flexible with my last minute plans. Anytime i need a sitter in san diego isabella will be my go to!”

“Kenneth obviously loves Rylee and the feeling is mutual. She gets long walks and lots of cuddles. Kenneth sends regular updates and lots of pictures. I work five 48 hour shifts per month and I’m hope to book Kenneth as many of those days as he is free:)”

“Ruby had a wonderful time with Robin and Rahn! They have a great space for dogs, and Robin obviously enjoys her time with dogs. She sent frequent video and photo updates and Ruby was obviously spoiled rotten with lots of walks, bellyrubs and playtime with other dogs. I hope Ruby gets a chance to visit again!”

“Thank you for taking extra special care of Stella. I appreciate your daily updates and your patience as she adjusted to her surroundings. She came home relaxed and in good health.”

“Xuan is a fantastic dog sitter! My dog is a big boy with a few quirks but Xuan made sure he was comfortable and happy the whole stay. She kept me updated with photos which I always appreciate. Highly recommend.”
“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!”

“I’m not sure there are enough good things I can say about working with Melissa. From her communication, response time, regular photos of my pup…everything was phenomenal! I left Nayla (husky mix) with her for almost 2 weeks while I was on vacation abroad - Nayla can be a bit shy with new people, but instantly warmed up to Melissa the first time she met her, which put me at ease as well. I plan to use Melissa as a sitter whenever I go out of town… It’s so awesome to know my fur child is being loved and taken care of when I am away. Thank you Melissa!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home, so your pet will have my full attention all day long. I currently have a cat and a 15 year old senior dog, so I truly understand the bond we have with our older furry friends. Since I care for a senior dog myself, I’m very comfortable with medical needs. I can easily handle: Injections (like insulin) and any oral medications. Special diets and strict feeding schedules. Senior care for pets who need a slower pace and extra patience. Because I’m home 24/7, I can provide constant companionship and as many potty breaks as needed. Your pet will be treated like family here I work from home full-time, which means I have a very flexible schedule. Your pet will have my companionship 24/7, with constant supervision and as many potty breaks or walks as they need throughout the day A typical day includes lots of cuddles, mental stimulation, and fun games. We will explore the nearby park and enjoy long walks. Since I’m always home, I can strictly follow any feeding or medication schedules your pet requires
“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!”

“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!”

“Madelyn is so good that my dog was barely excited to see me when picking him up after being gone for 5 nights. They bonded quickly and she was extremely attentive to his fragility post neuter surgery. Couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. Will be booking again!”


“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 :)”

“Vanessa provided excellent care for Charlie. He got out on neighborhood walks, had open access to her large, fenced in yard, and got to play with her dog too! He came home very happy. We’d definitely book again.”


“Alisiene was a great find and I would give her 10 stars if I could! From our initial communication to the meet and greet to the actual stay and final pick up, she was friendly, professional, communicative and extremely kind. Bob staid with her for a week and A’s daily updates kept us connected to him. He warmed up to her and her dogs almost immediately and I was thrilled he was part of their pack. Highly recommend.”

We had a great experience with Kaleigh. She took great care of our dog. She gave our dog her meds on time and took her out to play. She sent pictures that gave us a lot of ease. If we’re ever in SD again, we will definitely book Kaleigh again. Thank you so much for a great experience.

Dan was amazing. He asked about our dog’s normal routine, and followed it to a T! He multiple walks a day, fed him at the times he normally eats, and was a great match for our little puppy. He sent daily pictures, as well as sent us notes on how he was doing. Will be using Dan again when we need someone to watch our pet. ☺️

My dog Dakota had such a good time with Matthew! She was clearly comfortable and happy the whole time, which with her being an anxious pup is rare. Communication was excellent: photo updates, quick replies, and genuine care that put us at ease while i was away. Highly recommend, I will absolutely be booking again!

Jessica was wonderful! She kept my golden doodle for 5 nights. She took him on many walks, play dates, and I felt like my high energy pup was taken care of wonderfully. She sent photos and updates frequently. She is flexible, responsive, and kind. If I need a sitter again, I will definitely call Jessica!

Cassie and her sweet dog Sadie are just the best! I have a senior dog and I was nervous about leaving him for 3 nights but Cassie was so kind and patient in making sure me and my little guy felt comfortable. She sent me tons of updates and photos and I know my baby was taken good care of in her hands. To top it all off, she has a great yard and single story place. We will definitely book with her again! 🙏 🐾 🐕

Madelyn was just wonderful with our baby, she was so loving and attentive to her! I couldn’t have asked for better care with our little girl. I would use her again and again when I come back to San Diego. She was always sharing info and pictures of her while under her care, which made us feel comfortable and assured that she was being well cared for.

This was our first time leaving our pup with a pet sitter, so we were naturally a little nervous. Gabrielle was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was incredibly communicative, responded to messages very quickly, and kept us updated every day with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and felt completely confident that our pup was in great hands. We would absolutely book with Gabrielle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

Isabella and her boyfriend were so great! Isabella was continuously keeping me updated on my pup and also very patient and understanding. She genuinely cares about making sure the pups feel comfortable and safe and that made me feel so much better about leaving my baby in her care. Highly recommend!

Alisiene was an exceptional dog sitter! She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and understanding of my schedule. From the moment Lucky stayed with her, I knew he was in great hands. She took excellent care of him, made sure he received all of his medication, and was especially attentive to his needs since he has limited vision. Alisiene also did an amazing job with feeding him. Lucky is a very picky and lazy eater, but she somehow managed to get him to eat all of his meals, which is no small feat! It was clear that she paid close attention to his routine and made sure he was well cared for. She took him on multiple walks each day, kept him comfortable and engaged, and provided regular updates throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I also really appreciated how organized and thoughtful she was—when I picked Lucky up, all of his containers, dog bowls, and belongings were returned spotless and thoroughly cleaned. It was clear that Alisiene genuinely cared about Lucky’s well-being and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Alisiene, for taking such wonderful care of Lucky! 🐾❤️
