“Lara was absolutely the best at taking care of our pup Perseus. He got along well with her, she knew how to make him comfortable in a new place, and she sent pictures and videos during the day care.”


“Ashley was great & even let our dog have siesta time in her dog's bed without an issue. She kept us abreast by photos and kept company with her the whole time. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”


“What more could you ask for! Thank you for being so welcoming and making us feel comfortable for our first rover experience. Very caring and communicative. Boba had a great time 😀”


“Natalie exceeded my expectations! Dropped off a new puppy for the evening and everything went perfectly. The pup came home happy and even slept through the night, will definitely work with Natalie in the future!”

“Camille was amazing. She took our booking last minute and was super flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times. She was so genuinely eager to hang with my dog and thanked me for trusting her with my pet. She provided pictures, videos, and details regarding bathroom breaks, water, walks, etc. and she made sure to let me know that my nervous, elderly pup was very comfortable and at ease during her stay. 11/10 recommend. Ty so much Camille!”
“Thank you, Leah, for giving Bodhi a chance! He is just scared but you gave him the space & understanding that he needs in order to warm up and be comfortable w/a new person in his life. :) He really likes coming to see you!”

“I would absolutely recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. She truly treated Pluto like her own dog, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“Hernan was the best! He was able to take my dogs within an hour of booking with him! He took such good care of them, they even got bandanas from a dog event he took them to! He was so kind and seems like he has a great setup for them in his apartment with a great patio!!! Will definitely be using him again! Thank you!”

About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog (does not live with me). I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!
“Joanna was absolutely amazing with my dog Milo! She was super responsive, very nice, easy to coordinate care with and went above and beyond when taking care of him. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“I would absolutely recommend having your pup stay with Evan and Julia. Our dog Benny had a wonderful time with them (dog park included!) and I knew he was in good hands while we were exploring San Diego. If we are back in SD we will definitely reach out to them, Benny had such a blast. Thank you!!”


“We have used Melissa this last few weeks for day care and we have never been happier with a dog sitter. She is amazing and the real satisfaction is when our baby is clawing and jumping at the door to see her when we go to drop her off. Thanks Melissa for being a great friend to our baby girl.”

About: 👋 Hi, we’re Brian and Bea! We’ve had dogs all our lives and have been primary doggie caretakers since we were kids. We both work from home, so your dog gets company, potty breaks, praises and attention all day! 🐕 We live with Amaru, our AKC Canine Good Citizen-certified Shiba Inu. If you know Shibas, you know they're independent, picky about food, and selectively deaf when it suits them. Living with one has made us patient with dogs who are slow to warm up or particular about their routine. Amaru is also very social, so your pups get a playmate and nap buddy as well! ❤️ We believe the bond between people and dogs is one of the sweetest things in life. Their time with us is never long enough, so we want to help them enjoy every bit of it and give them the same unconditional love they give us. ✍️ We'll follow your feeding, medication, and walk schedule exactly as written, keep your house rules, and send photo updates. We treat every dog here the way we treat ours: like our baby ♥️🫶 👫 We’re a work-from-home couple with a social Shiba, so pet care naturally fits into our daily routine. We’re available for doggy daycare visits on weekdays and Saturdays after 9am. Our workday breaks already revolve around Amaru (a quick walk, a game of fetch, or a few minutes of trick practice) and your dog would easily fit into that same rhythm. Evenings are dedicated to dog time, with plenty of walks, play, training, and couch cuddles. We’re also happy to follow your dog’s usual schedule for meals, walks, medications, and bedtime whenever possible. Our goal is to keep their routine familiar and comfortable, so they feel right at home while they’re with us. 🏡 We live in a spacious apartment with a big private rooftop deck, and Petco Park is just about a block away for walks. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in every room of our home, so they can settle in wherever they’re most comfortable. 🐶 We like to start with a meet-and-greet so both you and your dog can feel comfortable before the stay begins. Amaru is very social and has never shown aggression toward a dog or person. He’s also famously picky about food (😩) so visiting dogs don’t have to worry about him being possessive over food. That said, we still feed dogs separately as a standard precaution and never leave visiting dogs unsupervised together. 📸 Our camera roll is already full of Amaru photos, so sending you regular pictures and updates of your dog throughout the day comes naturally. 🚨We’ll also collect your vet’s information and an emergency contact before the stay, and we’ll reach out right away if we notice anything unusual. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first☝🏻!
“Zannah was a kind and loving dog sitter for Tula! We were in town for a conference and needed help for a couple of hours during the weekend. Our 1-year old puppy ended up having a last minute, adolescent doggie event - and Zannah rolled with it in a patient and caring manner. She is very in-tune with dogs and respects them! Also - if you are staying downtown, she is in a very convenient location. I highly recommend her for your furry friends!”


About: I truly love dogs and treat them like family. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I make sure every dog gets enough attention I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, so your dog will get plenty of attention and care. I am available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. I can provide regular walks, playtime, and keep your pet on their usual routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home environment. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding, walking , and any special needs.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, and understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs. My wife and I currently share our home with Callie, our friendly 8-year-old terrier mix who loves meeting and playing with other pups. We also cared for our beloved Daisy for 17 wonderful years. We treat every dog like family—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of fun. I work from home, so your dog will have company and supervision for most of the day. I typically take dogs for a daily lunchtime walk and can provide frequent backyard play and potty breaks. A few times each week, we visit local dog parks or dog-friendly beaches for dogs who enjoy those outings. If your dog prefers quieter activities, we’re equally happy taking an extra walk or enjoying relaxed playtime at home. Our one-story home has a large, securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy fresh air. We have plenty of cozy dog beds and create a comfortable, supervised environment indoors and out. There is one flight of stairs at the entrance, but everything inside is on one level. We take time to follow each dog’s feeding, medication, exercise, and comfort routines closely. For everyone’s safety, we can only care for dogs who are not aggressive.

All attention will be focused on them to have a great time throughout the day and nights. I have a very secure apartment located on the fourth floor with minimum neighbors.

Lara was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog, Cheeba! Cheeba is very sweet but also a little timid and definitely a lap dog, so I truly appreciated how loving, patient, and attentive Lara was with her. The updates throughout the day were also so appreciated and gave me such peace of mind knowing Cheeba was happy and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Lara to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! Thank you so much, Lara! ❤️

Yantian is so amazing with Bobi. We booked last minute with Yantian for our trip in SD and Yantian was very accommodating; and showed great kindness and patient with Bobi. They updated us throughout the day with lovely pics and made sure our pup was well fed and entertained. Special thanks to Sesame for being a sweet pal!

Beatrice and Brian were so kind meeting us and giving us updates on Lady. They even sent us away with some treats. Their location is perfect if you're trying to catch a Padres game or at a convention nearby. I'll definitely reach out to them again if I'm in downtown SD!

Sandra was beyond amazing and by far the best day sitter experience we’ve ever had on Rover. Gizmo was extremely well taken care of and loved while he was in her care, and she sent the cutest updates and pictures throughout the day. Cannot recommend her enough!

Raquel and her partner are amazing and incredibly professional! We needed someone to watch our recently adopted rescue for a few hours each day while we were in town doing touristy things and attending concerts. Their communication was excellent, and their flexibility with our schedule—especially some of our later pickups—was very much appreciated. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about leaving our sweet girl with someone we didn’t know. But after the meet and greet, I had zero worries and knew Patsy would be in great hands. I was able to thoroughly enjoy our outings without stressing about how she was doing. Patsy was excited to be dropped off and always came home a happy girl! She got plenty of potty breaks, and Raquel adapted to all of Patsy’s little quirks with ease. It was clear that Patsy felt comfortable and well cared for. We’re so glad we found Raquel and will absolutely book with her again whenever we’re in the area! I highly recommend her and her partner to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and professional sitters.

We absolutely loved Vanessa! ❤️ This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I did because it led us to her. She was so sweet, kind, and loving with Mana from the moment we met her. She kept me updated the entire time and sent me so many adorable pictures and videos. As a first-time Rover user, those updates meant so much and gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and being well taken care of. Vanessa was amazing, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She took such great care of our little guy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️

While visiting the South Park area of San Diego we knew we would need “doggie day care” for our “separation anxiety” Doodle! I immediately went to ROVER and felt a connection to Lisa’s profile and never had a second thought. Not only was she in the neighborhood just blocks away, she was flexible, accommodating, communicative and an obvious lover of dogs. Plenty of walks, loads of cell phone updates and pics, and clear communication on every level. Lisa was able to rotate care from our house, to her house, and the Dog Park in between. She even made sure our pup made “friends” in the neighborhood! I encourage you to trust your pup to Lisa and feel assured that your fur-baby is in excellent hands! WOOF!
