“Kaile was amazing with my dog Kona! Kona has a bit of anxiety but she warmed up to Kalie pretty easily and didn't want to leave her at the end of the day! Kalie took Kona to a walk by the East River and I had never seen Kona so tired! (Which is a good thing because she is a stubborn, energetic pup). Kalie is responsive and understanding, I will definitely book Kalie again!”
“Sunny is so warm and friendly, and was super accommodating with our schedule. She made our dog Bandit, who has separation anxiety, calm and comfortable right from the start. Her beautiful home and dog friendly yard were perfect for Bandit and he had a great time with Sunny and her sweet dog. We will be booking again this week. Thanks Sunny!”
“Yue was a great dog sitter. I’d definitely hire her again. She sent many still photos and videos of our dog throughout the day. It was easy to communicate with her. She answered promptly and was very accommodating to our schedule. She walked our dog before we picked her up, so our dog would be able to sit for the long car ride home and not need to be relieved immediately. Yue was friendly and responsive.”
“Anna provided pet day care for my 7 month old puppy Aero. From the photos she sent throughout the day, he looked happy and well taken care of! We also appreciated her sharing a full rundown on how his behavior was throughout the day when we picked him up. Thank you Anna!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my entire life! I’ve had 6 dogs of my own. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors' dogs at just 10 years old, and at 16, I started watching cats as well. I’d love to meet your pets and give them a home away from home :) I would love to spend all day with your pets. I work a part-time job where I will occasionally cover 4-hour shifts, but that’s the only time I’m away from the house. I would love to discuss what you love for your pets, whether it is car rides, walks, runs, etc. I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space. I’m ready for all the energy or no energy at all, and I’ll be sure to follow any specified requests on how I can make your pet's time away from you and/or home the best time!
“Cecile took SUCH good care of Olive. She was worn out and so happy when she got home. She sent me picture updates and was willing to be flexible with my drop off and pick up times. I can’t wait to use Cecile again!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Friends. Family. My own. I recently just lost my fur baby who I loved so much. I am very loving and trust worthy. I love going on doggie walks. I am currently unemployed, so have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I like to do my workouts in the morning, so am available after. I have a fenced yard with lots of areas to explore. I love to go for walks either around my neighborhood or on the bay.
“I only just discovered Rover after my long time dog sitter relocated. We are so lucky to have met Zachary! When I searched my neighborhood, I found Zachary. Not only did he respond to my inquiry very quickly, he was kind, accommodating and helped me through my first Rover booking. I really appreciated that! He sent me frequent update with photos, took Cody, along with his amazing dog on a beautiful sunset walk and we would be happy to work with him again very soon!”
“Yang came to the rescue! My husband and I were visiting La Jolla for an event over the weekend. He was VERY accommodating to our last minute request for a day care sitter that we needed in a pinch. He came to meet our two fur babies (one being a Newfie and the other being an Aussie-mix), then he scooped them up and took them back to his place for a few hours. Yang was very communicative with us and sent plenty of photos throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend booking with Yang! Looking forward to using him again in the future.”
“Finn’s stay with Dylan was great. It was a last minute booking as we were treating our kids to a day at Seaworld. Dylan was super chill and seemed to really enjoy the dogs. So many updates with pics and videos. It really put us at ease as I can be a bit of a worrier when it comes to my fur baby. Finn had a blast playing with Chief (another dog visiting) and Dylan lives so close to the water. Finn for sure loved the walk with a view. Dylan has a great front yard for the pups too. Lots of sunshine and playing and those are Finns favorite things. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for my two dogs daily. I’m very familiar with structured routines, I’m used to long walks — sometimes up to two hours — including playtime and rest breaks as needed, always adapting to the dog’s energy level. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, always adapting to their specific needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own, prioritizing safety and lots of affection. I currently work online and part-time, so I would have plenty of time to care for your dog, giving him attention, playtime, and exercise. At home, we usually go to bed early because we have a dog who wakes up very early and starts his day with his routine of going out to relieve himself. I have two friendly dogs who could keep your dog company. I'm also very close to the bay where I usually go with my dogs. I typically take a long walk in the mornings to Fiesta or around the area, depending on how my day is going. And I have several spaces in the house where your dog can rest peacefully after walks.
“Cali has such a great time with Jim. I can tell she really likes hanging out with him and he gives me updates in their outings. She is very happy with your routine visits. Thank you Jim!”

My wife Iris and I both work from home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re flexible during the week and weekends, and we build our schedule around your dog’s needs to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and relaxed while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Mary, a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience caring for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I joined Rover because caring for pets brings me so much joy. I work a corporate job remotely which allows me a great deal of flexibility to care for your pets during my breaks. I can’t currently own a pet of my own due to my apartment’s regulations, so I can’t wait to give your pet all the love and care they deserve instead! My remote job allows for lots of flexibility to care for your pets. I am available for drop ins or walks sometime between 11am-2pm most days- perfect for owners who want to give their pets a break in the middle of the day! I am a direct communicator and will be happy to provide an abundance of updates as I care for your pet. I am also happy to provide playtime or assist with household chores as I care for your pets.
“Kenzie was wonderful with our boys! She took them on a beach walk and they were very comfortable in her home. Thank you for being such a lovely host! Oreo and Bubba look forward to seeing you again.”
“Olivia is amazing. Always send pictures and videos. She is so incredibly nice and accommodating. My gf’s water broke slightly early and our original plan of having her sister watch her fell through . I found olivia, messaged her and within 20 minutess I was dropping her off. Absolute lifesaver.”
About: Hi, I’m Danielle 🐶 I’ve had dogs for most of my life, so caring for them has been a big part of my day-to-day for years. I have experience with dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs, so I understand how important patience, routine, and attention to detail can be. I’m reliable, caring, and attentive, and I’ll do my best to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. Since I work from home, I’m able to be around throughout the day, whether your dog is here for a visit or just joining me for a walk. I’m also happy to send plenty of photo updates while your dog is with me so you know how they’re doing 😊 I work from home and have a flexible schedule during the day. I also work East Coast hours, so I’m usually up very early and happy to work around your dog’s routine and needs. I live by myself in a one-bedroom condo with secure building access. There’s grass close by and plenty of area for walks, so dogs in my care have both a comfortable place to relax and easy access to time outside.

Jessica is awesome! She is so sweet and is very responsive. I had an urgent need to find care for my pup Chewie due to work and Jessica was very understanding and accommodating. She made sure my pup had everything he needed to feel comfortable. I would 100% recommend her and reach out to her again when I need someone to look after my boy!
Anna provided pet day care for my 7 month old puppy Aero. From the photos she sent throughout the day, he looked happy and well taken care of! We also appreciated her sharing a full rundown on how his behavior was throughout the day when we picked him up. Thank you Anna!
Lauryn was great! Our little guy, Chip, had a fun time, a nice walk & social time. He settled in easily & looked too comfortable lounging before we picked him up. Easy to find, good communication with photos. I always knew Chip had good care and was a happy boy. Will use Lauryn again - highly recommend her!
Theresa took amazing care of my 4(ish) year old Doberman mix! Theresa’s communication was fantastic with clear instructions on how to find her home and to establish day care drop off times and pick up times. I really appreciate that we were able to extend my pup’s visit an hour more since traffic delayed us on pick up. If I lived in San Diego, we would be repeat customers- your pups are in fantastic hands!
Maja was amazing during 4 days of daycare for our Husky. She is very responsive and we got many pictures and updates. We could tell he was happy and well taken care every time we picked him up. She has a large outdoor patio which was a great place for our dog to relax after their fun walks and playtime. We’ll definitely have her take care of our husky if we have more trips to San Diego/La Jolla.
Victoria took good care of our dog, took him on walks, and attended to his puppy antics. Her very friendly dog, Goober, also helped keep our puppy entertained and tired out by the end of the day. We feel very comfortable dropping Tapi off every week at their home for his puppy play date with Goober. :)
Natalia was absolutely fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her, and it was clear he was in great hands. She stayed with him the whole time, and I felt he was very safe when encountering other dogs on their walks. He would get so excited and run to her every time he saw her, which was a wonderful sign. Natalia followed all of my instructions to the letter and her experience with dogs really shines through. She was so attentive and even carried him when crossing busy roads, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Fantastic Last-Minute Sitter! Rebecca was incredibly prompt and responsive when I reached out for a last-minute booking to watch Whiskey for a few hours. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and it was clear right away that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. Whiskey was comfortable and happy with her, and he got along wonderfully with her dog—which was a big plus! I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again
Conner and Lindsay are wonderful pet sitters who took excellent care of my fur baby. Right off the bat when we first met, I got an excellent first impression. They are very warm, friendly and knowledgeable! During my doggie sit I got updates and a pic, which was really appreciated. I look forward to booking with them again in the future!!
I’ve been a repeat customer of Bihua and I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog receives. She always go above and beyond to ensure my pup is happy, safe, and loved. The communication is excellent—regular updates, photos, and messages give me peace of mind while I’m away. Bihua has a genuine love for animals and a reliable, professional attitude that I truly appreciate.
