“Vanessa was quick to respond to a last minute daycare request, which is super helpful! Penelope came back ready for a nap which is awesome! Vanessa also sent pictures during the visit, which this anxious fur bebe mama always appreciates!”
“William is super awesome. He took great care of our young pup and was a very cool and funny guy to boot. He was definitley flexible and super responsive. He’ll be a great buddy for my buddy going forward.”
“This is the most welcoming and joyful home. One of the highlights is that my pup gets to play in secret paradise. You’ll understand if you book. I hope to reconnect with them soon. It’s so rare when the space and the family are absolute treasures.”
“My dog and I met with Shane and Chris for a meet-and-greet before I booked them for a day. They were so nice and genuine during both the initial visit and the day-of daycare that i was put immediately at ease for leaving them with my senior dog. I got to see their backyard (so spacious!), and I knew that Ghibli would love sunbathing there and be his lazy self. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.”
About: As a full-time retired “dog grandpa,” I’ve spent over 50 years caring for dogs of every shape, size, and personality. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pups just like my own. I currently share my home with a friendly spaniel mix who loves making new friends and helps create a warm, social atmosphere for visiting dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and happiest when I’m surrounded by wagging tails. From energetic youngsters to sweet seniors, I know how to keep each dog comfortable, confident, and cared for. Now that I’m fully retired, caring for pets has become one of the most enjoyable parts of my day. I’m home most of the time, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, and peaceful company throughout the day. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, and my open schedule allows me to keep your pet’s routine steady morning strolls, afternoon cuddles, or extra playtime, whatever they need. My home is set up with pets in mind. I have a secure fenced backyard with a large pet door so dogs can safely go in and out for fresh air and play. My spaniel mix is friendly and loves having canine company. We take daily walks to nearby parks, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and stretching those legs. Inside the house, pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel comfortable and yes, that includes the furniture. I provide a calm, supervised, and cozy environment, and I’m experienced with crates, medications, special diets, and supporting dogs with different energy levels or routines. Your dog will be treated like a cherished family member with all the gentle attention, structure, and warmth you’d expect from a loving retired grandpa.
“Absolutely wonderful people and the best communication I’ve had in all my years using Rover! I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with Jermere & Janetta; will definitely be booking again if my girls behaved themselves 😂❤️”
“Antonio was extremely flexible with my schedule and willing to make things work! I am so grateful because I get off work really late but he was willing to wake up for pick up. Seriously the best dog sitter!”
About: I have 20 years of experience watching dog's and just loving various and multiple breeds. I love puppies ,senior dogs and let's not forget the one's with a disability. I have great references of families , from watching their furry friends while owners are out of town, or even helping with whelping. I have plenty of time since I am a stay home mom. My husband and child are out most of the day and give me a chance to have an open schedule. My child and husband are also dog lovers, but also understands how important it is to give our fur babies space while still providing a necessary attentive eye for the sake of their care. I have a fully fenced yard, full of space for your furry friend to run,play, or simply enjoy his daily sun bathing. I have one french bulldog that is 2 years old and gets along with everyone, he loves his ball and chicken that's for sure.
“Chau went above and beyond for my dog. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. And my dog enjoyed hanging out with her pups. Amazing sitter!”
“Pamela is a very sweet lady:) she took our Nova for a day and when we got there she slowly introduced her to the other dogs before letting her run. She is very cautious and handles the dogs very well. I would definitely recommend her services to others.”
About: I have knowledge in pet care, dog behavior & dog nutrition. I have 6 year experience working with different dog and cat breeds of different age & sizes in a pet kennel, managed a dog camp and also have some experience in dog bathing. I also have experience in caring for other animal breeds ; hamsters, rabbits & some reptiles. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to get to know and spend lots of fun time with your pets and would love to spend my free time together ! I have a friendly cavapoo that can keep your pet company & a “doggy room” in my home that is a converted closet 2 x6 foot secured area that includes a doggy bed. I do also have a toddler in the home so pet must be friendly with children.
“Melanie did a wonderful job watching my pup. She gave consistent updates and my pup was relaxed and appeared to be well rested when I picked her up which is the best thing I can ask for … I would definitely rebook Melanie!”
“Summit was in very good hands with Vanessa and played well with her pets. Super happy and thankful to have found a great sitter. Would highly recommend Vanessa.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve used Rover to have my pup watched, and I’m so glad to have had Ziting watching him! She responded extremely fast, and I was so relieved she said yes—considering it was a less than 24hr sitting request. I received pics and vids from the daycare stay, and he looked so welcomed & happy. I’m sure Saint had a blast with her and Zuzu since he is now napping. Super professional, and I already had a feeling she’d be amazing at drop off! She was extremely flexible, and I can’t thank her enough. 10/10 sitter. Highly recommend! I would definitely book again.”
“Lila had a great time! I can tell from the great photos, and also because she’s wagging her little nubbin while she is sleeping and dreaming of her day. Thank you! 😍”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. From energetic pups that need long walks to older dogs that prefer slower strolls and extra attention, I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day—no one gets lonely on my watch! I love keeping dogs active with walks, games, and belly rub breaks, and my spacious, secure yard is perfect for running, sniffing, and a little zoomie fun. I also enjoy spending time with cats, giving them gentle pets, cozy spots, and extra love while making sure they feel safe and happy. Being home means I can follow each pet’s routine, offer plenty of cuddles, and make every day fun and stress-free for your furry friend. I have a large fenced in yard where your pup can play fetch and have endless potty breaks but also have the ability to crate if needed!
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—starting with our sweet family dog growing up. Now, I share my home (and heart!) with two more pups I co-parent with my girlfriend: a small Shih Tzu and a senior mix, along with our youngest frenchie, Cleo. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for every pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or behavior changes. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and I’m always mindful of doors, gates, and other safety measures. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Availability: I do work a 8-5 Mon-Fri job. I am open to house sitting if your pup can be okay with me being gone during those hours. I work in the El Cajon area so if you’re close by, I could stop to check on your pup during my lunch break. I try to accommodate as much as possible 😊 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexible scheduling so your pet gets the attention they need—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, enrichment play, or bedtime cuddles. I work from home and spend most of my time indoors or outside on walks, so I’m able to provide consistent companionship, love, and care throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for your pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or changes in behavior. I never leave pets unattended outdoors, and I’m mindful about doors, gates, and anything that could pose a risk. I want your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for at all times.
Emerald Hills dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shane and Chris were amazing with my dog Bennett! I literally booked them the night before on a very unusual circumstance where I needed help last minute and they were incredibly accommodating! Their house is a dog’s paradise and Bennett enjoyed having the yard to play in! They were incredibly professional, and I would highly recommend them for exceptional and thorough dog care!
Dubu and I had a wonderful experience with Soohyun during my business trip to San Diego. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the frequent photos and updates throughout the day. Dubu went to daycare with her for three days, and it was clear how comfortable and happy he felt. I could tell Soohyun genuinely cared about him and made sure he felt cared for and loved.
It was clear that our 2 year old pup had a great time playing with Jessica's dog all day. She passed out on the couch right after dinner with no interest in training or treats, she was that tired (which we love for her). We look forward to having Jessica care for her more in the future.
Chantel was absolutely amazing with my dog! She’s incredibly kind, attentive, and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. She kept me updated frequently with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was clearly well cared for and got so much love and attention. I would 100% recommend Chantel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Thea was super friendly and very welcoming to us but with Kyro and that made me extremely happy and i felt more at ease. We just recently moved to SD and using Rover as well. She made the experience wonderful. Kyro had a blast with the other dogs and i’m pretty sure he was super satisfied as well ☺️
Berenice is absolutely amazing! She cared for my one year old pup, Mini, while I had a mandatory in-office work meeting, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She graciously agreed to watch Mini for my entire shift, which gave me such peace of mind. From the moment we arrived, Mini was overjoyed to see her, that alone spoke volumes! Berenice is attentive, kind, and clearly loves what she does. She allowed Mini to safely interact with her son, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. I highly recommend Berenice to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you so much from both Mini and me!
Colleen was amazing! Her communication was excellent and she was very quick and timely about setting up a meet and greet with my dog and her dog to make sure they got along. She asked really thoughtful questions so she fully understood how to care for my girl, which made me feel so confident leaving her. She sent tons of photos and updates throughout the day while my dog was at daycare, which I really appreciated. My dog is naturally nervous and shy, but she settled in within a few hours and ended up having the best time playing with Colleen’s dog, Winston. My dog is definitely a pack girl and loves being part of a group, so it was such a great fit. I would absolutely recommend Colleen and will 100% book with her again!
