“I had a great experience with Chunli! She was incredibly considerate of my home and treated it with the utmost respect while caring for my dog. I truly appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and photos — it was so reassuring to see how well taken care of my pup was while I was away. I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and my home were in great hands.”
“Beckie did a wonderful job with Teddy. I was able to have peace of mind knowing she was looking after our Rhodesian Ridgeback for 6 days. That was the first time we left him for that long. When we returned home he was calm and happy! Beckie is now our “go to” dog sitter!!”
“Thank you Thomas! You were an outstanding house sitter for 3 weeks. You are a great communicator. Our dogs and cat are not always easy to care for, and you took great care of them. You provided photos and videos on a regular basis. And best of all you are reliable and trustworthy! We won't hesitate to use you again and can highly recommend you.”
“Eli did a great job with Max. He stayed with and cared for Max for 4 days. He made sure Max was well taken care of. He was even great with Max during a day of rain. Max is not a fan of rain, but all was well with Eli's patience and understanding. Max even went on a couple of short hikes. Eli is professional and made sure to spend quality time with Max. I will use Eli again.”

About: I’ve been raised with Labrador retrievers siblings (not pets) since Barkley (my first brother) slept under my crib after my mom brought me home from the hospital. Every place I go where there is a dog, it’s my goal to make sure they like me so I am extremely attuned to how dogs are feeling as well as their needs. I helped potty train my family’s most recent labs (Buck and Buzz) as well as teach them a few tricks. I have a very flexible work schedule and would love to help out during the typical 9-5. I also would be happy to help with early morning walks. Given proper instruction and information, I’m a hyper vigilant sitter and want to make sure I am doing everything correctly as well as making sure your pup is having a fun time!
About: I have pet sit for 10+ different dogs since I was 16 rangining from tiny dogs to giant dogs. I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. Including four dogs and six cats. I currently only do dog walking and cat/ dog sitting so I have a very open schedule to care for your animals. Im flexible with times and can provide some same day services. I always want the dog to stick to a routine that it’s used to especially when their owners aren’t home. I know it can be very stressful for animals when their owners leave and I just want to create a soothing environment. I will respect your rules for your pet and not overstep my boundaries.
About: I've always had a love for dogs every since I was little and actually got to help raise my current dog when COVID happened in 2020 from when he was a puppy. I've pet sat so many times throughout my life and thought this would be a good way to help ensure the well-being of everyone's pet in their family! I am currently home for the summer and working remotely for an internship two days of the week. I have plenty of time to go and check on your pet during the day! Will make sure they are safe and sound. I have trained my dog to love his crate, so he usually goes in there when he wants to. I will mostly ask what the client is most comfortable with and what they need from me to best care for their pet!
“Yelena was amazing! My normal dogsitter bailed last minute before a long international trip, and Yelena was able to step in and take great care of my dog, and earn her trust. I can’t recommend Yelena highly enough and would contact her for future trips.”
“Alexa just watched our golden retriever Ruby, and she did a great job! Ruby is really calm and happy, and the house looks great. We’d definitely hire Alexa again. Highly recommend!”

I work from home and your pet will be taken care of and kept in good company the entire time they’re away from you. You can travel with comfort. Your pet will be with me the entire time with a watchful eye and comfort, and they will feel like they are at home away from home
“I would highly recommend Julia. She took care of my dogs for 10 days over the Thanksgiving break and stayed at my house. She was quick to respond to messages while I was away, extremely reliable, and came back to a very clean house with two happy dogs. Thank you! 💕”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, and also own a 13 year old beagle pittie who is my best friend and house hippo. I think dogs truly are people’s best friend, and have come to understand their needs as domesticated creatures, including: movement, mental stimulation, and patience. From checkins, walks, and/or training - give me a ping! I’m local to Carmel Valley Middle School and just a query away! I work from home as my own boss, and have flexibility accommodating schedules! I’m always ready to make adjustments to ensure the client servicing are within reach. My home has been methodically dog proofed over the last decade owning two happy and healthy dogs. My home is 5 minutes away from the park, and helps serve as a park conduit for your furry family member.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember; big and small, shy and silly! I’ve helped raise several pups from puppyhood to their golden years, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a game of fetch, or a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’m reliable, patient, and always up for outdoor adventures or sticking to your pup’s favorite routine. WFH with a flexible schedule. I even take myself on walks several times a day! Lots of time for playing, cuddling, and paying attention to your fur baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and needs.

I always communicate clearly with pet parents and send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands. Bonus: I have a patio where your fur baby can sunbathe or people watch!
“Brynn did a great job housesitting and watching our senior pup Lola. Lola has a lot of quirks with walking, eating, sleeping, etc., and Brynn navigated them with great respect and care for her. I’d definitely have Brynn watch our dog and house sit for us again.”
“We reached out to Zari after last minute change of travel plans. She was extremely responsive, easy to communicate with and her attention to detail was amazing. We're lucky to have found her and will absolutely use her again anytime we need a sitter in the near future.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats my entire life while also taking care of dogs in my spare time! For a few summers in a row, I was responsible for administering diabetes medication to a family friends yellow lab every morning and night, 7 am & 7 pm sharp. I was also in charge of doggy day care for two beautiful German shepherds for most of my high school years! Dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart and always will :) Young professional working a remote full time job from 8-5, but have hour long lunches to take care of your pets! I would love to take care of your cat or dog before 8 or after 5 as well. Weekends can definitely work for me as well depending on the time! Let me know whatever you need and I’ll make it work :) I listen tentatively to any client’s wishes on how to care for pets in their home! I respect their space and the pet’s space as well and make sure they’re taken care of in the best way possible.
“Brittany was so kind and sweet watching my fur baby! Felt so confident and at ease -she was able to watch Dumplin on short notice and helped me out in a bind. I would definitely have her pet/house sit again!”
“Viviana was amazing. She stayed in our home with our two special needs pups while we were on vacation. They were loved and cared for as evidenced by the pictures we received. I highly recommend for your pet needs. We will be using her services again Kris and Steve”

Del Mar Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Patrick was an absolute rockstar! He watched both of our dogs and the house while we were gone on an eight day vacation. He did an amazing job at making sure the dogs were acclimated to his routine while he was here, and he also gave them daily walks. I look forward to having him come stay with us again.
Jill was great. We met beforehand to get familiar with Remi and get to know our neighborhood. She shared great update pictures during her stay and took Remi on great walks. This was our first Rover experience and we were extremely happy with Jill and will use her again.
I can’t say enough good things about Nataliaya! She took care of our sweet (but anxious 😅) dachshund Raya for two days while we were out for a wedding and rehearsal, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Raya has some separation anxiety, but Nataliaya was so kind, patient, and loving. She made sure Raya felt safe and cared for. She sent us lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the day, and it really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. She treated Raya like part of the family, and it meant the world to us. If we’re ever in Laguna again, we’d love to book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely loves animals🥰
Marie was excellent with Lucy. She was prompt upon arrival and took her time getting acquainted. She was thoughtful in her communication throughout her time with Lucy. And as a bonus Marie is a talented photographer sending print-worthy photos often throughout her stay. She paid careful attention to my homemade feeding instructions. Leaving Lucy with Marie gave me ease of mind knowing she was in caring and experienced hands.
Alexander had a meet&greet with my dog Zola, before I booked her—-and the initial meeting went really well, which was a great sign. She was punctual for the assignment, and everything went smoothly. Zola was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with Alex again. Highly recommend!
