“I'm so happy I found Brannon on here. He's so kind and caring, and my little guy gets excited when he sees him. I can tell Brannon truly loves and cares about animals and gives them the love and attention they deserve. I highly recommend him!”

About: I believe that a happy dog in the home is essential and a precursor to a happy life overall, and I strive to bring the same attentiveness and care that I share with my own pup to any pets I have the privilege of taking care of through my services on Rover. When we meet the basic needs of our precious companions throughout the day, we have more freedom to bond with them, and them with us, and that’s where I come in! I want to help you meet your home pet care needs and goals so you can feel confident that when you come home after a busy day, you are coming home to a dog or a cat that is happy and well taken care of. I want to ensure that your pet’s routines stay intact, that they get plenty of exercise when needed, that they stay safe, and it is a joy to me to provide that service! I work from home, and my day is already built around caring for a dog. Morning walk first thing, breakfast, play, a walk around 5:30 for dinner, evening walk before bed, with attention and rest woven in between. I follow instructions exactly, keep your pet's routine intact, send photo updates, and treat your home and your dog's space the way I'd want someone to treat mine. On walks, I match the pace to the dog, calm dogs get a relaxed walk, energetic ones we stay moving, and I stay attentive to reactivity triggers and adjust accordingly.
“Jose is absolutely AMAZING!!! Kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos of my babygirl. He does so well with dogs, please book your pups to stay with him because he genuinely loves dogs. He treated Lilly as if she were his and I greatly appreciated it. Thank you so much Jose , you are awesome and we will be booking again when we need you !”
About: Hi, I’m Nathalia! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a proud dog mom to two wonderful dogs of my own, I know how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care. I aim to adore and care for your pet as much as you do! Caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. I currently have a wide open schedule and available Monday through Sundays for boarding for daycare. I have a home that is fully pet proof (secure cabinets, secure trash can, and fenced yard). I can crate your dog if needed as well.
About: I’ve had a dog in my home since I was 3. I’ve taken care of pups at all ages and all stages, I will love yours like I love mine. I believe they all deserve the best in life! I work from home so with them all day and close to a park for plenty of walks and outside time. I also have a dog who loves having guests and friends visit! I have a fairly spacious apartment and allow dogs to be on furniture and sleep with me and my pup. If you prefer crate I can accolade that as well!
“Raquel did an amazing job while watching Koke, he felt safe as soon as he got with her!! The communication was great, we love having the pictures and videos sent to us. Lets us know how comfortable Koke was. I will defitnetly use her again, Koke had a great time with her!”
“Gaby was great with my dog Moose! She is super flexible with schedules and goes out of her way to be accommodating. Such a fun person and my dog loves her! Loved the picture/video updates she sent throughout the day. Would highly recommend!”

We have used Jen several times, and each time she has been great! Can’t give her any higher recommendation than my dog loves her!! Thanks for giving this dog-mama peace of mind when I know that she is in your terrific care, Jen!”
“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.”
“Camille was amazing with my mini dachshund puppy! She was super flexible with my long work hours and change of schedule. Sent pictures and updates throughout the day and an hour by hour note of everything they did at daycare that day 🥺 she spent so much time playing with him and taking him on walks even during her work day, I know he felt loved!”
“Chau was amazing with our elderly pup. She was super communicative and easy to coordinate with, and obviously knows her stuff when it comes to dogs. We have already booked with her again!”
About: I'm a huge dog lover with a wide range of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I've dog-sat for neighbors, friends, and family, including dog sitting 5 dogs at a time. I have experience boarding a 4 month old puppy and also have experience with administering medicine to older dogs. I would be so excited to care for your pet! I am home during the work day and love going on daily walks around the neighborhood. I would be thrilled to have your dog as a companion! I work remotely from my apartment so I am always home M-F during work hours and love to have a furry companion. I love taking breaks in the day to go on walks around the neighborhood. On most weekday nights and weekends I am also available to hang out with your pet, with the occasional outting! I live in an apartment complex with a small balcony off of my unit. There is a dog park directly across the street from me. Your dog is welcome to sleep on my couch or in my bed if preferred!
“Michael and his wife cared for Goli like he was their own! Goli is high energy and can be a handful! They sent frequent pictures of Goli looking happy as can be! It felt like we sent Goli for a daycation? Definitely going to use their services again!?”
“Michelle is awesome! I had to book my feisty 6-year old chihuahua mix Scout with her for a couple days while they did fire alarm testing in my apt complex. From the jump, she was kind, communicative, and understanding as traffic put me a little behind schedule dropping him off. Both days, she updated me with awesome pictures of Scout enjoying himself at her place, and playing with her dog Bella. She took amazing care of him. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Isabella is incredibly caring and responsive. She kept us updated with messages and photos of our dog throughout the stay, which made us feel relaxed and at ease. I especially appreciated that we didn’t even have to ask! We’ll definitely use her daycare service again when we’re in San Diego. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Teresa she is an animal lover. She knows a lot about dogs behavior. She helped my dog to calm down and make him feel safe and comfortable. Lulu, Teddy and I we love here and I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. Thank you Teresa 🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻”
Hillcrest dog parents share their Rover experiences
If you’re in the downtown area are looking for somebody in the downtown area. Cara was really good. She was able to take care of Samara my dog very well making sure she took her on walks very periodically. More than other sitters that I have experienced. She will make your dog feel like one of hers while keeping you updated throughout the day. Cara provided pictures and text update's if you’re looking for a sitter, Cara is perfect.
We did a doggy daycare with Kimberly. Kimberly was very flexible with pickup/drop-off times and very responsive to messages. Our pup had a great time! He was very comfortable and had fun playing with Kimberly. We’re looking forward to our boarding stay with Kimberly.
Came into town for a mini staycation but wanted to watch a baseball game and needed a dog sitter. I reached out to Jerry & Silky and they were the perfect fit. First time booking for a dog sitter too!! I dropped off a happy dog and picked up a happy dog. She was cuddled and went on a walk. I enjoyed all the photos too to show it!
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!
I would absolutely recommend having your pup stay with Evan and Julia. Our dog Benny had a wonderful time with them (dog park included!) and I knew he was in good hands while we were exploring San Diego. If we are back in SD we will definitely reach out to them, Benny had such a blast. Thank you!!
