“Ehda took such good care of my 23 pound dog. She provided daycare in her own home. She met me outside of her building and brought him upstairs with her.Chuck is always really cautious around new people, and the photograph she took of him chronicled how he warmed up to her. The next time I’m in San Diego, I am definitely reaching out to Ehda 😊”

“Our MOSH gets a bit diffensive sometimes but he liked Laura from the first sight and I was amazed when I saw his relaxed face in her pictures! Thank you for taking wonderful care of him.”

I will only take on one client at a time so your pet will be well cared I work from home so my schedule is flexible, your pet will be with me most of the time unless I run errands or go to the gym. I have a 3 year old lab and retriever mix, she is very sweet and gets along with most dogs and cats. You dog will get at least 2x 30min-1hour walk each day, and potty breaks in between.
“Christy did an awesome job watching my dog - she was great with communication and sent so many pictures and videos while he was there! The second day pulling onto her street, he got soo excited in the car that he was coming back and having the closed in backyard was great for my energetic dog, would definitely recommend!”

“I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!”

“We just moved to San Diego from Dallas, TX, and we were a bit nervous about finding a new pet host for our 2 year Yorkie-Poo, Teddy. I went on Rover and as soon as I saw Sarah's profile phot and read her profile I got a good vibe. I reached out and we exchanged a few messages before setting an appointment for a few hours on Saturday so we could go out to dinner with friends. Me and my husband were still nervous, but as soon as we met Sarah the nervousness was replaced with a great feeling! Sarah exudes kindness and care. She sent us updates regularly -and photos! When we picked up Teddy, he was happy and calm. I just met Sarah, but I already love her! She welcomed Teddy into her home and I felt that we were at the start of mutually rewarding relationship. I highly recommend Sarah!”

“Caroline is the best sitter I’ve ever had on Rover! She is so sweet and goes above and beyond to make sure you and your pup are happy with lots of updates along the way. Layla absolutely loves her and was always so excited to see her everyday. I wish we lived in San Diego so we could bring her for daycare all the time:)”

About: I’ve been a pet mom, but lately I’ve been sitting for my friends and other pet parents for years. I care for all animals with care, kindness and attention to details of needs. I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible. I can also block off time depending on your needs and availability are in advance with notice. I have a beautiful open front yard that we can tether a long rope or their leash to. I also live blocks away from a dog beach if your dog enjoys walks on the beach or playing with other fur animals.

“This was my first rover so I was admittedly quite nervous. Not only for myself, but even my dogs caretaker as at 4 months old, she can still have puppy like tics. Despite it all, Linda was communicative, thorough and a joy to interact with. You can tell her family has a great vibe, and that reflects in how they treat their dogs. I’m especially appreciative that we were a bit late to pick my pup up due to some traffic and Linda was so understanding and patient. Two paws way way up ?”
“Harriet had a fantastic day with Lena and the 2 other dogs she had for company today! She was very reliable with her communication and sent adorable photo updates. We also appreciate the time Lena took for our meet and greet, where her patience and love to care for everyone’s furry family members really shined through. Thank you again Lena; we’d love to use you again in the future!”


“Rayla always has a blast at Eden’s! After a day with Eden, she always comes home a happy and fulfilled pup. Eden was also very accommodating for a last minute booking, which we were very grateful for. Will definitely be staying with Eden again in the future :)”

“Jacob was truly the best person that has ever taken care of my dogs. They are both older Jack Russells and the one is partially blind. Jacob accommodated my husband and I in every possible way. We were staying at L’auberge hotel and we went to the Del Mar racecourse. He picked the dogs up on schedule and delivered them in perfect condition. When they saw me, they weren’t really very excited, which is indicative of how happy they were. He is the nicest person I’ve ever had take care of the dogs and I would highly recommend him and give him five stars. Lynne Bentel”

“We are very thankful we met Alana. She was amazing with our dog Buddy and he was comfortable staying in her home. Our dog is now a senior dog and we highly recommend Alana as she took good care of him. We look forward to having Buddy stay with her again soon!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends. I am pretty open nowadays. Ready to take care of your furry babies as much as needed! Also, have my helpers ( my kids off school, are ready to help)! Right now I am open to come and take care of your pets! Always willing to come first to get to know your pets, and introduce myself. Folowing the rules and instructions- that’s number one priority. Safety, Trust, Care and Love only!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 15 years, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or giving meds, I treat every pup like part of the family. Friends and neighbors rely on me for everything from daily visits to overnight stays, and I’ve built great bonds with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident, calm, and always ready for fetch, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Bonus: I never show up without treats (with your permission, of course!). Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m flexible and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or quality cuddle time, I make sure each visit is stress-free and tailored to your dog’s personality and schedule. Weekdays and weekends are both available, and I always build in time for updates, so you’ll never wonder how your pup is doing. Safety, trust & environment Keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable is always my top priority—whether I’m staying at your place or welcoming your pet into mine. I stick closely to your care instructions and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. When I’m in your home, I make sure everything stays just the way they’re used to. At my place, it’s calm and cozy with lots of supervision and comfy spots to lounge. ***I have two sweet Frenchies who are great with other dogs—we’ve had a third pup stay with us for weeks at a time, and it’s always a blast. I keep things secure, walk with sturdy leashes, and treat every pet like one of my own. If you’re looking for care for two or more dogs, I usually prefer staying at your place—it helps keep things low-stress and more familiar for them.

Ehda was very sweet and very accommodating. My dog responded to her very well. Ehda sent us pics of our dog while we were away. I really couldn’t have been more happy with her service and demeanor. I would definitely use her again, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.

Ari was absolutely exceptional with Venus and Killian! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and so reassuring. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos from their walks! Both of them came home so happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Ari took the time to give them attention, love, and a great experience. I would 100% trust Ari again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring with their pets. Thank you again!

Marietta and ZU Zu are excellent pet sitters. This was Simba’s first time at a sitter and I learned a lot about his behaviors. Marietta did everything to make Simba comfortable, went above and beyond. Her house and yard is safe for pets. I well recommend her. She is god sent. I couldn’t thank her enough for the lengths she went accommodating Simba.
