“Rachel is phenomenal, she really cared for our baby girl and gave us daily updates throughout the process! This was our second time booking with Rachel and we will happily rebook her in a heartbeat. Your pets are safe and loved if you book with her for sure. Thank you again Rachel!”
“We had a fantastic experience with May on Rover! We dropped off our Shih Tzu, Oreo, for the day while we went to Disney, and everything went smoothly. May was super communicative, providing updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Oreo even got to have a fun playdate with Pepper, and she came home happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with May again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry friend, Leo, to an exceptional sitter, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met at the meet and greet, it was evident that Leo is in capable hands. The communication was top-notch, and Kimberly took the time to understand my pet's unique needs and routines, ensuring a smooth transition while I was away. The daily updates and photos she provided gave me peace of mind, knowing Leo was getting comfortable living with Kimberly and her kind family. Ranger and Ginger are both very cute and friendly! What stood out the most was her genuine passion for animals. They went above and beyond to keep my dog active and engaged, and it was heartwarming to see the bond they formed. I think Leo was looking around for Kimberly when he came back home :D I wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly to any pet owner in need of a reliable and compassionate caregiver. Thank you for creating such a positive and pawsitive experience! :)”
“I had a wonderful experience with Alana and her husband as pet sitters for my dog, Terry. They were incredibly attentive and caring throughout the entire stay. I received daily updates and photos, and they paid close attention to all the small details to ensure Terry felt comfortable, especially with his eating and sleeping routines. What truly stood out was Terry’s reaction when I came to pick him up. He was happy and relaxed, and—something he had never done with previous sitters—he went back to Alana and her husband to say goodbye with a smile and a kiss. It was clear he felt safe and well cared for. I highly recommend Alana and her husband to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet care, and I would not hesitate to leave Terry with them again in the future.”
“Michael and his wife have been so great to my giant puppy! Even took him on a little road trip! Michael was very attentive to my pups random quirks and was always quick to respond to my messages. Michael and his wife have taken wonderful care of my puppers and I will continue to use them as a great boarding resource!”
“Zari was very easy to communicate with, she was very accommodating, and best of all Steve loved his stay with her! Steve loves being around people and he loved Zari so much, he whimpered on the car road ride from missing her already! His stay with her was just as great as I could have hoped. Thanks Zari!”
About: I love every furry friend as if they were my own. Growing up with both a yellow lab and a cat my whole life, I've always been an animal lover. I currently work from home and have a 4 year old French Bulldog of my own! He is very friendly and gets along with other dogs. My experience ranges from small dogs to large dogs and I have extensive experience with dogs with allergies and bulldogs in particular! I also understand what it means to take care of a cat and how to interact with them. Clear communicator, attentive to special instructions, and dedicated to personalized care (from playtime and walks to feeding and snuggles). I’ll send pics and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I’m excited to give your pet the love and attention they deserve! I work from home with a flexible schedule for pet care even with short notice. My friendly Frenchie can join if your pet enjoys company! I have a spacious 2b apartment where pets can sleep wherever they're comfortable (my room or living room) and are allowed on furniture. I treat every pet like my own, tailor care to their needs, and can handle challenges in real-time.
“Alyssa was super quick to reply and send photos and updates while Bowie was with her. She also helped practice his training so he would stay on track. I would definitely book with her again!”
“This was our first time having Dora sit for our fur baby. Dora was very conscientious and communicative. She notified us that Kenya was peeing inside Dora's house. We worked together to identify a cause and remedy. Dora even took Kenya to our vet to make sure she wasn't having a medical issue. I felt Dora went well above expectations and was truly concerned with Kenya's well being. I definitely would recommend her for others. She even followed up with me the next day to make sure Kenya was okay.”
“Amazing sitters. Ruda and his wife were so warm and accommodating, even when I ended up returning from my trip a few hours later than expected, and sent plenty of photo updates. It was my dog’s first time away from home so I was extremely nervous, but it was clear from the photos and when I picked her up that she was having a great time and I had absolutely nothing to worry about, she was in great hands ☺️ 10/10, will definitely be using Ruda & co. for all future pet sitting needs and would highly recommend to anyone else!”
“Zil took care of Dandelion very well. Dandelion has made new kitten friends while staying with Zil for 9 days. And Zil made sure to send me pics or fun videos of Dande once a day! I met one of Zil’s own cats. It was quite easygoing. Plus Zil has experience with kitten before. So no problem for new kitten to merge into the family for a short period of time.”
“My dog had a short stay with Weili over the weekend, and Weili did a great job taking care of my dog. She sent photos daily to keep us updated, and had her dog playing with mine, which mine seemed to quite enjoy. Also was very flexible in terms of last minute changes to accommodate my timing. Overall a great stay!”
“I highly recommend Nicole. She is such a wonderful, warm and kind Person. She provided lots of updates and pictures of Ivy. She helped Ivy feel at home at their place. Ivy felt loved and came home happy and smiling. Thank you so much Nicole! You are awesome!”
“Caitlin was very easy to communicate with and took care of our sweet pup, Coco. Would definitely recommend booking with Caitlin and we would book with her again in the future! Loved that she shared pictures and giving us peace of mind that she is being taken care of.”
“Lena and her family took such good care of our dog, we sent her back a week later for round 2! We will definitely go back to them again in the future. Our dog got lots of walks and park time, and we enjoyed the updates we got while we were gone. Thanks Lena!”
“Randy was amazing! Super quick to respond to my messages and sent lots of pictures while I was away. My pup seemed to have a great time and came home in great spirits!”
About: With over 20 years of dog-loving experience, I’ve shared my life with pups of all shapes, sizes, and ages—from frisky puppies to wise seniors. While I currently don’t have a furry companion (after saying goodbye to my sweet little dog last year), my calendar—and couch—are ready for canine company! Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and entertain their pets, and I’m known for doling out head scratches and belly rubs as generously as treats. Your pup will get the VIP treatment and all the love they deserve! Pet care is my passion, and I love filling my days with walks and playtime. Since I live in an apartment, walk breaks happen frequently—perfect for pups with potty breaks or high energy needs! I set my schedule around your pets, ensuring they never feel rushed (and have time for that extra lap around the block). Most days, I’m home and flexible, ready for early morning or evening visits to suit your routine. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority. At my place, pets get a cozy, secure environment and plenty of attention—no overcrowding or chaos here! On walks, I stay alert for other animals and hazards. Whether I’m caring for your pet at my apartment or in your home, I maintain a calm, clean space and keep you updated with photos and cheerful messages—you’ll rest easy knowing your furry family member is in caring, experienced hands!

Del Mar Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tyler is an attentive and compassionate sitter. He provides frequent updates on activities, disposition, behavior, and care practices. It is obvious he adores dogs and really goes out of his way to treat them like the companions they are. I highly recommend him for long and short reservations. My girl absolutely adores him and returns home happy and lively.
Most of the time when Rocky comes back from boarding he lays in his bed in the corner brooding for 2-3 days. This time when he came home he was smiling from ear to ear and didn’t miss a beat, which is how I know for certain that Zari did a GREAT job taking care of Rocky! Thank you, Zari!
There are no words to express how grateful we are to Alana and her husband, Eric, for taking such great care of our little Mochi! As soon as we met them, we were at ease and knew that Mochi would be in great hands. They made being away from our furry baby easier as we knew he was being well taken care of! Highly recommend! -Maricelle-
Caitlin has been Keaton’s Rover sitter for a long time now, and we truly couldn’t ask for anyone better. Every time we pick Keaton up, she’s somehow happier than when we dropped her off with her tail wagging, and clearly full of love. It’s such a comfort knowing Keaton is in such good hands when she’s with Caitlin. She treats her like family, and it shows in every update, every photo, and every joyful reunion. We’re so grateful to have found someone who cares for Keaton as much as we do. Caitlin is a gem, and we can’t recommend her enough!
Fabio and family were wonderful with Sami. They gave him loving tender care needed for a sweet senior dog with his needing an indoor and outdoor muzzle to prevent from eating things he shouldn't. We received pictures of him outdoors and indoors sleeping next to their furry companion. He came home very happy and well rested.
