“Paige was great! We came to San Diego with our pups on a trip and wanted to spend extra time away from our airbnb. She gave them some company and let them out. She sent me pictures while she was there and made us feel comfortable being away from our babies longer. Thank you!!”

About: I grew up in rural Vermont taking care of animals in so many different ways. My family has always had dogs and cats, and I’ve always been the point person for neighbors when folks head out of town. I’ve also worked on a farm for six consecutive years helping care for all type of animals from rabbits, to cows, pigs, chickens, sheep and more. I just moved to San Diego this past month and do not have any prior engagements, so right now all my focus can be on making sure your animals needs are met! I would love nothing more than to see the animals in this city and build connections with them and you! Currently I have a small apartment, but am able to get to parks very near by. At the time, cats and smaller dogs would be suited for boarding and visiting!
“Jazmin did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. She communicated well and sent great photos. She also responded to additional requests promptly. I will be asking for her help in the future!”


“Leyla was absolutely amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and flexible to our needs. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was getting attention, care, and affection while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and would trust them again in a heartbeat!”


About: I am a lifelong dog lover and owner. My wife and I recently lost our beloved Yorkshire Terrier after 17 love-filled years and need the love of a dog in the house with us. I have experience with senior dogs and know the extra love, care and attention they may need. I love to get out and see the city so your dog would get plenty of walks if needed. I'm a photographer so you can expect plenty of pics while your dog is in my care. I am a self-employed photographer and available to be home throughout the day as much as needed. My son is at school most of the day which leaves plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I have a large fenced in yard for all the exploring and sniffing needs your dog might have. We live on a quiet block without much traffic and have a nearby canyon that is perfect for on-leash walks.
About: We are Joseph (aka Shane) and Chris, and we're happy you found us! And your Pups will be too! We've boarded dogs at our North Park home, and cared for dogs in their home, for over 16 years - so we are well versed in expert canine care and boarding! We've also had 8 dogs of our own over the last 28 years, adding to our canine care experience. We've owned 5 Greyhounds, a Whippet, Black Lab, and a Staffie; and cared for/boarded many breeds - Goldendoodle, Vizsla, Dachshund, Poodle, Lab, Shih Tzu, Sharpei, Golden Retriever, Frenchies, Boston Terrier, Husky, others! We work from home, almost always here, so plenty of companionship for your Pup! Work affords lots of breaks too, for play time with pups! We have a safe, large, completely enclosed yard out back and easy access for doggers via large size doggie door! Plenty of toys out back, and visually accessible from my work area. Inside, dog beds and couches offer plenty of resting choices for doggers!
“Brittany does a great job with my timid pittie. My dog was recovering from surgery and she did a great job of giving him love while I was gone. And his pills. 👋 I felt so comfortable leaving him under her care”

“My pup is incredibly special to me, and I’m very particular about who I trust to take care of him. Samantha’s service blew me away! She is so detail-oriented, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about my little guy. She kept me updated on everything and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. My pup has certain quirks, and she handled each one with patience, love, and care. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver!”

“Vanessa was great! My cat tends to be skittish and kind of unwelcoming but he seemed to take to her super well. Appreciate all the extra effort playing and spending time with him.”


“This was our first time using Rover. Ivy did a great job checking in on our dog for the three days we were gone. I appreciated her detailed daily check in notes and photos! I also appreciated that when I first messaged to inquire if she was free for the job, she responded quickly and came for a meet and greet that day. I would reach out to Ivy again for future pet care.”

“Annie was an amazing person to take care of my dog. Annie was very responsive and letting me know when they were available as well as all the updates. I needed to know that my dog was taken care of. When my dog was injured, I had special circumstances that Annie needed to follow and she did so With a positive attitude. I would recommend any for any pet parent.”

About: I grew up loving dogs and have always considered them to be more than a best friend. They’re a member of the family! After COVID, I started dog sitting for friends and family members in my free time because it was so fun, and it was a nice break from my full-time job as a copywriter for Walmart’s corporate team. In 2024, I took my love for dogs a step further and got my own puppy. His name is Yukon, and he’s a lovable goofball with lots of energy. I’ve loved seeing his personality develop over the last few years and having chats with him about what makes him happy (he’s a Pomeranian Husky mix, so he’s always got lots to tell me!) It’s been such a joy to watch him grow into the happy little man that he is today. My goal as a sitter is to give your dog the best care that I can offer. I’ve house sat for dogs that need senior care (daily medications/specific food requirements), puppies that are just learning to navigate the world, energetic breeds that have high activity requirements, and larger dogs. I love them all and I’d love to offer you peace of mind knowing that your fur baby will be in the best hands should you choose to trust me with their care. ❤️🐾 I’m currently working part-time as a personal trainer trying to build up that business, so I have plenty of available hours for house visits, walks, and playtime. I live in a fenced in community that is very dog friendly. Your dog will be able to interact with Yukon—who is always looking to make new friends!—and the dogs in the neighborhood if they choose. It’s a great environment for socialization as well as for safety. I have room to crate your dog if needed or they are happy to explore my home and it make it their own as well. 😊 *Please note*: If you are hoping to book me for house sitting on an overnight basis, I will not be able to leave my own dog unattended. He’s absolutely great with other dogs and he loves people as well. I’m more than happy to do a meet and greet to see if it would be a fit for you and your pet, but if this is something you are not comfortable with, please book another sitter for this service.
“Brenda was very patient with my 2 cats, who had never been left alone before. She took care of everything and I was very happy with the service she provided. Will definitely book again if needed.”

“Yesenia is awesome and has extensive experience with both cats and dogs. She was so patient with Axl as he is a puppy and a bit shy around people. She is responsive, has great communication during check-ins and take lots of pics. Thank you Yesenia 😃!”

“Olivia was great about providing good care for our cat with the basics and went above and beyond to make sure she got some time to socialize too. Really appreciated the care and attention to make sure our cat was looked after and we got detailed updates every day.”

“Kalista was wonderful! I was so nervous leaving my cats and using Rover for the first time, but Kalista was so great and I was able to focus on my work trip and not worry.”

I’m so glad Stass and I found Christine! She is so sweet, detailed and communicative. I travel a lot for work, and it brings me such peace of mind to know that Stassi is in great hands while I’m away. I am so grateful for the care and consistent updates she always provides. I 100% recommend her and have even asked to be a recurring client of hers! Thank you so much Christine!

I'm so grateful that Destiny was able to help out when my usual sitter had to cancel last minute! She was very conscientious, taking proactive steps to look after my cat when there was unusually hot weather & other unexpected issues that came up! Thanks again!
It was wonderful to have Ginny come daily in the morning and feed my two cats. One of my cats is way more social than the other, and she was able to get the shy one out and eating while she was there and also pet him. I knew my cats were in compassionate, caring and competent hands.

Joanne was a huge help when she came to check in on my dog while my family was at Disneyland. Even though it was a relatively late booking, she still went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. She came to check on him twice throughout the day and even sent me photos from their time together! I can't recommend her enough!
We had Chelsea over again to watch our 4 year old tuxedo cat. Her communication is always so great & she sends the sweetest photos. Also, my cat is actually obsessed with her. So thankful she makes going away that much easier! We will keep asking her back so long as she will have us!

Brenda is an amazing pet sitter. She is always on time and really cares about pets in her care. She communicates very well and helped with administering medications to my cat. I would highly recommend her and my cat, who was very fond of her, would recommend her as well.

Diesel is currently dealing with old dog vestibular syndrome, so I was pretty nervous about leaving him with a new sitter as my usual one was unavailable. Eric was great! He kept me updated with clear communication, sent plenty of photos, and gave extra care to support Diesel’s condition and progress. He even offered extra drop-ins to make sure Diesel was comfortable. That level of care gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Eric again. Highly recommend!

First time Brittany did a drop in for us for our 2 doggies who are very protective and take a while to warm up. Brittany even did a meet and greet prior which was super helpful so she could meet us and the dogs and feel everything out. Brittany’s communication and care is top notch and is truly appreciated.
