“Mckennah was the first person we trusted with our 5.5 month old pup. She made sure Bentley was safe and happy. I loved the constant picture and video updates throughout the day. I’d definitely describe Mckennah as super chill. This vibe makes you feel like you can trust her to patiently and intentionally get to know your pup and to be open to taking care of your pup that way you take care of your pup! One of the things that was important to me was that Bentley would have constant supervision. I didn’t need her to have free range in a backyard. Mckennah took her on a walk and to Starbucks and then they hung out in Mckennah’s apartment together. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Caleb took care of my giant English Mastiff and I really appreciated his follow through and communication. He has a nice set- up and is super easy to work with plus he loves animals so that is always a huge plus! Thank you Caleb”
“Angie was located in a great neighborhood. we felt really comfortable leaving our dogs with Angie. she had a very spacious backyard to include a dog of her own. she was very caring and accommodating while we left our dogs with her for six days and five nights she would send pictures daily as updates. our dogs had no issues when we picked them up. we will definitely hire Angie again. we highly recommend Angie to anyone in the Escondido area.”
“Marta was absolutely incredible!! I was nervous to leave my baby puppy since I never had before. But as soon as I met Marta I knew he would be in good hands. Her dog is very well trained and she even helped keep up training while we were gone. He got so much love and stimulation that he was tired for two days after! We can’t wait to use Marta again!”
“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”
“We had a great experience leaving our two dogs this past weekend with Karen and Steve, we felt very comfortable with everything after meeting them. They were especially wonderful with our nervous dog, he seemed to come out of his shell, which takes a lot of patience. We came home to two happy pups and look forward to booking with them again. We also really appreciate that they were able to accommodate our last minute request.”
“Kym, her husband and their puppy, Max, are GREAT!! I never left my dogs with somebody I didn't know before but I felt very comfortable beforehand & thought it would be a great match between all parties. ”
“First time we had left our Puppy, Button. We were nervous. Diane was so friendly and Button was a little apprehensive. She sent several updates and pictures and when we return to pick him up, he was happy and well cared for and loves Diane. Recommendation direct from Button - She took good care of me, played with me and took me for a walk in her stroller. See you soon. Button”
“Brianne took great care of our 19 month old Bernedoodle, Kona. She and her family welcomed Kona into their home with love and care. We received pictures and updates which put us at ease since this was Kona's first time staying with another family and dog. Our dog even forgot who we were when we returned after 6 days to pick her up. Thanks again, Brianne!”
“When we found ourselves in need of last minute dog care, Mindy and Brian were there with a quick reply that they could help. They provided a warm and caring place for our pup, complete with some dog friends to hang out with. They seem to genuinely enjoy the company of their dogs and made our dog feel right at home. She was a happy girl at pickup. Couldn’t have asked for more.”
“We needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!”
“Sana did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy. She kept me updated throughout the day with timely photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. My pup seemed happy, well-cared-for and very comfortable with Sana and her family . Highly recommended for reliability, communication, and genuine care.”
“Greg and Kat were so wonderful with my dog Mando! It was my first time using Rover for my dog and I was a bit nervous but they kept me updated the entire time with lots of pictures. He always looked well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Claudia is just the best! This is the second time I’ve brought my dog to stay with her while we visited family in San Diego and I always plan to have her stay with Claudia every time we’re there! She sent me photos and videos and updates and my Pookie just loves being with her. She is so loving and thoughtful and even helped me catch something I didn’t notice with my Pookie’s ears! Thank you for giving Pookie a loving, welcoming and caring environment to be in when she’s with you! We’ll see you again soon! ❤️”
“My dog had a great time with Christopher and his kids! I received many pictures and updates showing how happy and comfortable my dog was and I had 100% peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of really well. It's also nice that Christopher only does one dog at a time so that they get his full attention. Totally worth every penny and I will definitely book again next time I need a rover in San Diego!”
“Moon exceeded our expectations. We have a fragile senior dog. She was willing to have him stay at her house when we travelled back East for Thanksgiving. She sent us photos. My kids were instrumental in helping us select Moon. They just knew she was the perfect fit and had the best environment for him. He had such a pleasant stay with her that he even wanted stay with her when it came time to pick him up. We would not think twice about using Moon in the future.”
“Renae and her family took wonderful care of our high energy pup while we were gone for a week. She sent regular photos of him playing with his new friends and snuggling with the family. I would definitely recommend her for boarding services. Thank you, Renae!”

Diane did an amazing job with pepper, she walked her several times a day kept her very happy and gave her lots of love and attention. We knew pepper was in great hands as soon as the daily updates and photos started coming. I would highly recommend Diane to anyone who wants to be at ease when they’re on vacation. We will be using her and ideally her only in the future for our dog sitting needs.
Harvey was well taken care of by Karen & Steve while we were out of town! He seemed happy & healthy, and like his usual self when we went to pick him up-we were not sure was to expect as this was his first time being away from us. Very much appreciate that they only do one family of dogs at a time, and are home most of the day as we work from home and our dog isn’t used to long stints of being alone.
Valeria is such an outstanding dogsitter. I really feel like when she is watching our pups it’s like leaving them with a member of our family. She is so thoughtful and caring for our dogs and she is quick to let us know about anything related to their care. Our pups love Valeria and we do too!
Claudia is the absolute best!!! She went out of her way to accommodate me and my pup this weekend, and I would have been lost without her! I will never take my dog to be with anyone else. I know my Pookie is loved and cared for and Claudia is such a lovely human ❤️ thank you so much again, Claudia! We will see you soon! 💕
Brianne took great care of our 19 month old Bernedoodle, Kona. She and her family welcomed Kona into their home with love and care. We received pictures and updates which put us at ease since this was Kona's first time staying with another family and dog. Our dog even forgot who we were when we returned after 6 days to pick her up. Thanks again, Brianne!
Mindy & Brian were so good with our Bubba the bulldog! I was incredibly anxious dropping him off at somebody’s house for an entire week, but they took care of him so well! The pictures and videos we received were so cute & it made me feel better how Bubba was so well taken care of and having fun with their pups! We’ve tried a few other places for boarding, but Mindy & Brian have been the best so far taking care of Bubba! Will definitely be keeping them in mind for future trips. So great! Thank you Mindy & Brian for a stress free holiday trip.
